The rookie game itself is a platform for the first- and second-year rookies to show themselves, so substitutions are frequent, except for the starters who are already well-known in the league, the playing time of others is basically more than ten minutes, and even if they are the starters of the rookie game, these NBA future stars, the playing time is less than 30 minutes, which is a means for the league to maintain a relative balance.

In order to get beautiful statistics in such a short playing time, and even get the MVP of the rookie game in the end, the rookies need to work harder to show their strongest strength!

With Roy's help, Li Du had already scored 22 points at halftime, and if the momentum was maintained, it was not impossible to exceed 40 points by the end of the game. But things didn't go as smoothly as he thought.

Just over three minutes into the second half, Li Du was replaced, but Roy and Rondo were put on the field at the same time.

Rajon Rondo is a rookie from the same class as Li Du, his body type is very similar to Li Du, and his big hands are comparable to center like Li Du, serving as a point guard. This season, with the formation of the Celtics Big Three, Rondo has played next to the Big Three, has grown a lot, and the statistics are also very good, especially his assists are often double-doubled, and he has been called "Little Nash".

It's a pity that in Li Du's opinion, Rondo is much worse than Nash, not to mention the overall situation and passing ability, he can't pass just one medium and long range shot. As a guard, Rondo's mid-range shooting rate is less than 30%, and the three-point shooting rate is not more than 20%! And Nash's mid-to-long-range shooting is very accurate, and the three-point shooting rate has always been around 40%! A defender who doesn't have mid-to-long-range deterrence is destined to not be an MVP-caliber player like Nash.

Li Du didn't think too much about it at first, after all, everyone's playing time in the rookie game was balanced by the coach, and no one would have too much. But in the blink of an eye, half of the second half has passed, and the coach of the sophomore team, Woodson, still has no intention of replacing him, and Li Du is a little anxious.

In fact, Woodson's practice of pressing Li Du on the bench is normal in the eyes of many people, and although racial discrimination has been expressly prohibited by law in the United States, it is difficult to eliminate the estrangement and prejudice in people's hearts. Chinese people have always been excluded and discriminated against in the United States, and this is the case with Woodson, who doesn't want to see a Chinese person show off in the NBA.

But Li Du can't go directly to Woodson and ask to play, after all, this is a rookie game, it is a performance game, if Li Du goes directly to ask for playing time, it is easy for others to misunderstand that he is extremely interested in the MVP of the reshow game, which will have a lot of bad effects on him. In fact, everyone wants this MVP trophy, but it can't be said on the surface.

Looking at Woodson with hatred, Li Du clenched his hands tightly, eager to punch this guy to death. Originally, he had scored 22 points at the end of the first half, and in the second half, he had scored 28 points with the help of Roy one after another, and Li Du believed that as long as he had enough playing time, he would have no problem scoring 40 points today.

But now it's different, there are too many sophomores who can score, and Daniel Gibson has been focusing on three-pointers today, he's made eight three-pointers so far, and it seems that he used today's game as a preview of tomorrow's three-point game! If he continues to cast like this, Li Du suspects that this guy may be able to continue to throw, in that case, the MVP will be him!

Seeing Li Du sitting with an unhappy face, Aldridge patted Li Du gently: "Li, don't worry too much, it doesn't matter if you win the trophy of this kind of competition or not!" ”

Knowing that Aldridge was comforting himself, Li Du was unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled at him. Aldridge is a very nice person, gentle and polite to everyone, but he usually doesn't talk much. Li Du still remembers the day he first arrived in New Orleans, all the stars who participated in the All-Star Weekend party, this guy bowed when he saw everyone, and he was completely a good baby, making Li Du and Kobe Bryant laugh.

It was at this time that Li Du heard the sound of the "brush" basketball hollow into the net again. Turning around, Daniel Gibson made another three-pointer, bringing the number of three-pointers he hit to nine, which is already very close to the record for the number of three-pointers thrown in the game! If he doesn't play again, Li Du may not have a chance to win the MVP!

Looking at Woodson again, the old god was still paying attention to the field, and he didn't take Li Du to heart at all. Li Du was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't help it, and secretly hated in his heart: "Old boy, you wait!" Don't let me find a chance, or I'll have to cripple your team!" ”

Until the end of the rookie game, Li Du never got a chance to play, and Daniel Gibson tied the record for the number of three-pointers scored in a single game with 20 three-pointers on 11 of 20 shots, and won the MVP of the rookie game in one fell swoop.

After the game, Roy and Aldridge comforted Li Du and walked off the field, Li Du glared at Woodson viciously, did not say hello to the interim head coach, turned and left.

After the game, Li Du publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Woodson, he said in an interview with reporters: "Congratulations to Daniel for winning the MVP of the rookie game, tonight he hit eleven three-pointers, tying the NBA record for three-pointers in a single game, which is a great record!" It's a pity that I basically didn't play in the second half, and I couldn't have a good exchange with him about shooting three-point shots! ”

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Du only played more than three minutes in the second half and was replaced, and he never played again, as a starter in the rookie game officially invited by the NBA, Li Du only played 18 minutes in the whole game, not to mention that compared with other starters, even Gibson who came off the bench and finally got MVP is much inferior. This is clearly Woodson deliberately suppressing Li Du and not allowing Li Du to have a chance to perform!

A reporter duly asked: "Mr. Li, are you dissatisfied that Coach Woodson didn't let you play in the entire second half?" ”

Li Du glanced at the reporter kindly, he knew that reporters liked to stir up trouble, but since Woodson was so insidious and vicious, don't blame him, so Li Du nodded and said: "Yes, my playing time was greatly compressed, not to mention, he replaced me in just over three minutes at the beginning of the second half, and then didn't have any communication with me throughout the game, I don't know how much mistake I made, resulting in not being able to play in a game like the rookie game that has nothing to do with the record!" I think I should have a good conversation with Coach Woodson when I have a chance. ”

In fact, Li Du was resentful in his heart: "Chat? Woodson, you old boy, it's pretty much the same as talking to my fist! But the reporters were happy, Li Du, the most popular and famous among the rookies, publicly bombarded Coach Woodson! It's already destined to be the headlines of the night, more exciting than Gibson's eleven three-pointers.

After the reporters dispersed and Li Du returned to the hotel, he received a call from Kobe. Kobe Bryant didn't say much, only said one sentence: "Turn the anger in your heart into motivation and strength, and shock the world tomorrow!" ”
