Chapter 131: Roy's Challenge
The 2008 All-Star season was held in New Orleans, and it was the second time that Li Du participated in the All-Star Weekend, but it was the first time he really felt the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This All-Star Weekend, Li Du's schedule is full, he not only has to participate in the rookie game as a sophomore player, but also participate in the three-point contest and the All-Star Game, and he also has to participate in various promotional activities, not only NBA officials, but also Nike requirements.
The All-Star Weekend is now more than just one or two games, it's more like a carnival, a festival, a festival for fans all over the world!
Players who are officially invited by the NBA can bring one or two people into the court for free, Li Du originally wanted his senior brother to feel it for himself, but unfortunately Shang Xiaolong's injury was not enough to travel a long distance, so Li Du brought Prett. Shuttling between the stars, Li Du suddenly had a feeling of unreality.
Two years ago, I was just an American college student, I knew something about the NBA, and I liked basketball, but for the stars in the NBA, they were far from themselves. Now, all of them appeared in front of him, and everyone greeted him familiarly, and many of them were once his subordinates!
"Li, what are you standing there in a daze? Come here! Today is the first day of the All-Star Weekend, and Kobe Bryant sat on the sidelines early, waiting to cheer for Li Du, but saw Li Du standing on the sidelines in a daze.
Li Du heard Kobe's voice, came back to his senses, and walked towards Kobe, "Boss, you're here!" ”
"What's wrong? Are you still nervous? Kobe smiled and slapped Li Du, "Give me a good performance, last time you didn't know much about offensive skills, this time let everyone take a good look at how much you have improved!" How can my Kobe Bryant's brother be the most defensive! ”
Li Du grinned: "Boss, in this competition, it's not necessary, right?" ”
"Why is it unnecessary!" Kobe glared at Li Du and whispered to him: "Now that you are a famous figure in the NBA, many people will challenge you!" Not only those rookies in the first grade, but also people who are the same year as you will compete with you! I've heard that Brandon Roy is not convinced by you, thinking that you robbed him of his rookie of the best last season! ”
Li Du was speechless for a while, he had no opinion on Roy, in all fairness, Roy and Aldridge supported the Trail Blazers in their rookie season, and brought the Trail Blazers from the weak team in the West to the playoffs, they are really very strong! If Li Du had to choose, he would definitely choose between Roy and Aldridge. However, the selection of the best rookie is not up to Li Du, and he was also surprised when he learned that he became the best rookie!
Who knew that Roy would fight him because of this matter, but it doesn't matter if he is against him, they are all opponents anyway, and Li Du never thinks that he is worse than Roy.
Looking at Roy constantly showing himself during the warm-up, and every time he scored a goal, he had to look at Li Du, with a provocative expression, and Li Du felt a little unhappy with him.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Du decided to shock Roy and save him from looking at himself all day long.
The players on both sides were still warming up, and Li Du posed as usual in a three-body pose to stretch his muscles. But just as he was about to box, Roy actually walked up to him, "Li, I heard that you practice a set of Chinese kung fu before each fight, are you here to demonstrate?" ”
Although Roy said it with a smile, looking joking, but who was Li Du, he immediately keenly felt that Roy was hostile to him, so he stood up and said with a smile: "Not for demonstration, but to show my strongest combat power by moving my hands and feet!" ”
"Combat effectiveness?" Roy smiled disapprehrovingly: "When I was a child, I watched Bruce Lee movies, and I always thought that Chinese kung fu was very powerful, but later I learned that those seem to be just your boasts!" ”
Li Du shook his head, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, if it was before, just with Roy's words, he would have been able to abolish this guy! It's a pity that now that he has come to the eyes of the world, he can't do everything according to his own mood.
Seeing that Li Du didn't speak, Roy pouted, "Everyone said that your defense is incredible, and your offense is extremely aggressive, so everyone thought you were the best rookie last season." We're in the same west, but we haven't really fought each other yet, so how about trying? ”
Li Du looked at Roy and said coldly: "Forget it, after all, we are a team tonight, don't make you in the mood to play!" ”
Seeing that Li Du said forget it, but his tone was full of warlike intent, Roy raised his eyebrows and continued to challenge: "That's it, let's make a bet, if I win you, you help me win the MVP of this game, if you win, I will help you win the MVP, how about it?" ”
Li Du's eyes lit up, and then said: "In this kind of competition, MVP is not something you and I can decide!" This bet doesn't make any sense, change it! ”
Seeing that Li Du seemed to have taken the bait, Roy smiled: "Okay, what to change?" You said! ”
Li Du laughed: "It's very simple, if I win, you are not allowed to shoot in this game, but you have to assist me to score!" If I lose, I'll assist you to score! And if I'm not mistaken, whoever has the most beautiful stats in the rookie game is the most likely to get the MVP, which is also in line with your original intention! ”
Roy's heart moved, and Li Du's proposal was very appetizing to him. He is confident that as long as he has enough ball, he can completely suppress the rookies in the next grade, and on his side, no one can surpass him in scoring ability!
"Good!" Roy nodded heavily, then walked outside the three-point line and said to Li Du: "Time is pressing, let's decide the winner by one shot!" It's fair for one person to attack and defend once! ”
When Li Du saw Roy take the ball and walk outside the three-point line, he knew that he was going to attack first, but Li Du didn't care about this, and smiled at Roy: "I can do it at any time, come when you're ready!" ”
Roy and Li Du want to go head-to-head! This sight immediately attracted everyone, and on the second year side, those who were still practicing automatically made room for them to play.
Roy was also not polite, dribbling the ball while looking for an opportunity to pass Li Du. Li Du did not disappoint him, and the standard defensive actions made him unable to find a flaw. No matter how Roy swayed, Li Du only made a slight move to block his offensive line.
"People say that Li Du can see through the opponent's breakthrough line, and it seems to be true!" Roy secretly marveled in his heart, but he is not a player who only knows how to break through, seeing that it is difficult to pass Li Du, Roy is no more, he staggers a little, gives himself enough space to accelerate, and then lowers his head, sticks to Li Du and rushes inside.
Li Du showed a disdainful smile, this kind of trick was used too much by Kobe Bryant when he was training with Kobe. It's nothing more than making a foul, or finding an opportunity to shoot after a sudden stop, or crushing directly with speed and strength! It's a pity that no matter what kind of trick it is, it is useless for Li Du!
Roy wanted to stick to Li Du to move forward, but it was always difficult for him to have physical contact with Li Du, Li Du was like his shadow, he kept following him, but he couldn't reach it! Since he couldn't have physical contact with Li Du, it was impossible for Roy to make a foul, so he suddenly paused his steps and made a stop-and-go jump shot.
It has to be said that Roy's pull-up jump shot selection is very good, he is not slow, and he stops in one step, and then takes the jump shot without the slightest pause. In the regular season, he used this trick to score in front of many people.
When Roy jumped, there was an empty space in front of him, and the hoop was exposed in front of him without any obstruction. Smiling confidently, Li Du seemed to have no time to defend himself, and Roy made a steady move.
"Bring it!" Li Du's voice suddenly sounded behind Roy, and immediately after, Roy felt that the basketball sank and disappeared from his hand!
