Chapter 106: Rookie Challenge (6)
Shangguan Yu was not as relaxed as at the beginning, he became serious when he watched the game, he was not sure of winning at the beginning, and now he has a chance to win, so he still has to fight. In this game, Guan Yu also played for more than ten minutes, scored more than ten points, and basically won't play again.
And the coach obviously doesn't mean this, because the game on the field is getting better and better, and after such a game of running-in, everyone's tacit understanding has gradually improved, and now the sudden substitution is easy to collapse.
The race drew to a close, but it was also at its climax.
In the last two minutes, the winner of the game will be decided. Now the American rookie team still maintains a one-point lead.
This time it was Moodier who stood up, this kid was taught a few times by Shangguan Yu today, but he became smart on the field, and his hand was quite hot.
He took advantage of Porzingis' cover, went around to a 45-degree angle on the left, received Wiggins' second pass, and hit another three-pointer.
He is now the top scorer on a rookie team in the world with 30 points, and if he can win this game today, he has a good chance of becoming the MVP. Moodier's performance with the Nuggets was not very good, but today he made many people reacquaint themselves with him.
Maybe he really needs this MVP to prove himself, so he fights fiercely. No wonder he had to grab the ball with Wiggins before the game, it turned out that he had such a plan, obviously he was still very confident in his own strength.
But Shangguan Yu felt that it was difficult for him to become a big thing, and he proved this in one year in the CBA.
The performance was not consistent enough, there were a lot of mistakes, and most importantly, the performance was not strong enough at key moments.
When he took Guangdong to play a game with Beijing, Yi Jianlian was frantically wrapped by the opponent in the fourth quarter, and he didn't come forward to lead the team forward, which shows that he does not have the temperament of a leader who is independent.
As a star, it's important to have a unique temperament, and to stand up at critical moments in order to lead the team further.
LaVine did a good job of this, because Russell and Clarkson were locked up, and Towns didn't have too many good opportunities on the inside, so he stepped up bravely.
Running back, using the cover of his teammates, to get rid of Wiggins' follow-up. After receiving the ball on the outside, in the face of Bogdanovic's defense, he chose to force his way inside, but halfway through, he suddenly braked suddenly.
Take advantage of your super physical fitness and pull up the jump shot.
This one is here!
The two sides are tied at 152!
With 1:08 left in the game, the rookie team called a timeout. On the field, the world rookie team still has the advantage, because they have at least two offensive opportunities, the first attack is unsuccessful, even if the opponent scores, there is still a chance to equalize or overtake. Now it's up to the coach to arrange and how the players want to play.
The 20-second timeout ended quickly and the players from both sides returned to the field.
The rookie kicked off on the sideline, and Moodier took advantage of Porzingis' cover to get around to catch the ball. But when the players of the American rookie team saw through it, Russell was interfering on the sidelines, and he couldn't catch the ball. But it was at this time that Wiggins rushed out, leaned on LaVine behind him, and jumped high to take the ball down.
It's so difficult to connect the balls, so it can be seen that at least 100% of the players on both sides are engaged in the battle, and the substitutes on the sidelines have all stood up. After Wiggins got the ball, he didn't rush to attack, because now the world star team, the strongest offensive combination is Porzingis and Moodier.
He also wanted Moodier to organize this ball, dribbling to suppress the rhythm, and after Moodier's continuous counter-runs, he finally got rid of Russell's entanglement, and Wiggins handed the ball to him as soon as possible.
The others started moving, with continuous off-ball screens and off-ball runs.
With only 10 seconds left in the attacking clock, Porzingis came out to cover and Moodier dribbled through, but he didn't have enough confidence to shoot when he was delayed by Downs, so he could only hand over the ball.
Wiggins stuck LaVine in the low post and Moodier slammed the ball into the ground with less than five seconds to take it.
Wiggins squeezed his back, but LaVine didn't back down, and Wiggins shook his shoulders to confuse Lavin.
A sudden step back, a slight backwards, throws the ball. Under the watchful eye, the ball bounced on the basket and rolled into the net.
LaVine had pounced on his face, but it didn't stop Wiggins from throwing the ball in, but LaVine didn't look frustrated at all.
At 154-152, the rookie team of the world temporarily led by two points.
After Wiggins scored the goal, the fans of the rookie team cheered heartily.
The players of the rookie team of the world rookie team who were suspended from the field were all happy, and the same was true of the substitutes off the field. But after taking a look at Laven, Shangguan Yu suddenly had such a feeling that he was going to lose this game.
But now that they are celebrating with each other, Shangguan Yu can't say such frustrating words, and Wiggins is undoubtedly the happiest one.
After shooting this shot, he has scored 29 points, although it is not as good as Moodier, but with this shot just now, plus the home court advantage, he has a good chance to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.
But it depends on his teammates, whether he gives face, and whether the Lakers twins, who stole the show at that moment, will intervene.
The timeout ended, the game resumed, and the players of the American rookie team all gathered around the free throw line.
The moment the whistle blew, all moved, dazzling running, and the players of the world rookie team did not miss anyone. However, it still allowed Russell to get the ball, and he now has 22 points, and he still has a chance to compete for MVP, depending on how he chooses.
But with Moodier's defence, he really didn't have any good chances and could only pass the ball out.
Although Clarkson scored 25 points, he didn't look like he was attacking, he was still more obedient, and according to the coach's arrangement, he handed the ball to Downs on the inside.
This time, Porzingis was rare to hold up and resist Downs to the death, and Capela was still eyeing him from behind, and Downs didn't dare to force it, because he was not sure of this attack. And at this critical moment, some foul referees don't blow the penalty. After two gouges back, Downs takes the ball out.
After LaVine received the ball, there was not much time left to attack, and he didn't want to cover.
Although facing Wiggins' defense, he still signaled his teammates to play alone, and everyone pulled away.
LaVine kept dribbling under his crotch, and suddenly activated, trying to pass Wiggins in one step, but he didn't succeed. But he made a gesture to get inside, and he had already deceived Wiggins. The two were teammates, and Wiggins understood what he was thinking, thinking that LaVine was going to go inside for this ball, but LaVine didn't.
LaVine pulled the ball back to him with his left hand, then turned and retreated beyond the three-point line.
When Wiggins pounced, LaVine had already jumped high, he turned up the arc of his ball, leaned back slightly, Wiggins didn't cover the ball, and could only watch the ball fly towards the basket.
