Chapter 203: Rookie Challenge [Fighting Separately]
The three rookies of the Los Angeles Lakers have performed very well, Ingram has become more calm and physical after half a season of training, and his body is a lot stronger, with the deepening of the regular season, Ingram's performance is getting better and better, and even had a performance of 27 points and 11 rebounds in a single game, which shocked many Lakers fans and every day.

Ordinary Russell is the same as 39 points, and the two lists are not parallel goods, which shows that the Lakers' draft vision is very good, Li Qian is the baby they picked up in the draft, so to speak, the Lakers still need time, as long as the three potential rookies grow up, I am afraid that the Lakers in the future will be a terrible competitive teammate, maybe they can trade to get an All-Star center, so that the Lakers' chances of winning the championship will be greatly increased!
Downs saw that Russell wanted to break through, but he didn't dare to come out and delay, for fear that after the inside line was empty, he would be bombarded by Meck and Porzingis's inside line, and Jokic had already stood in a good position and wanted to block and dismantle Lee, but he was recognized, Booker followed, and as long as he blocked and dismantled, he changed the defense, which was originally a fierce exhibition game, but now it is like a regular season game, and everyone wants to make a name for themselves.
Whoever is in the hands of the players will attack, and the defenders also want to do their best to show their strong defense, which may also be a reflection of the mutual dissatisfaction between the rookies, which can be regarded as a virtuous circle that can bring a sense of competition to the players.
However, Russell was already waiting for the opportunity to steal Li Qian's ball, but the plan was seen through by Li Qian, passed the ball to Jokic, and then passed to Porzingis on the inside, directly using the height advantage to score a 2 point.
Downs was unequivocal, hitting Porzingis directly in the low post with his back, wanting to return the color, and Meck was already wandering around the three-second zone and would come over to make up for it whenever there was any movement.
Li Qian defends Booker, Booker's speed is fast and fast, but in front of Li Qian, it may not be as good, remember that there was a big sun in the regular season, Li Qian's Booker scored 26 points, Booker also scored 20 points, which is a mutual explosion, but fans who watched the game can clearly see that Li Qian's single Booker is much calmer, and if Booker doesn't shoot explosively, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get 15 points.
Russell was open on the outside, and Downs hesitated, but still passed the ball to Russell on the outside.
Russell went straight to the net with his standard upside down three-point shot!
Russell has already shot two three-pointers, and it's strange to say that every player in the entire rookie challenge feels surprisingly good today, how to shoot and how to have it, and it has something to do with today's defense.
Six minutes into the comparison, most of the starters on the court have been replaced, and because every rookie in the Rookie Challenge needs playing time, the coach has started to make substitutions.
Everyone on the field is very positive, because this is their own stage, and being able to show a vigorous and capable self is very conducive to future development.
Jaylen Brown was still on the court, and now he finally has the ball in his hands, and in the previous few minutes, the ball could barely reach his hands, and he couldn't even touch the ball on several switchback runs, and now he can hold the ball, and of course he has to show his ability.
Jaylen Brown broke through on the left, bypassed the defense, and went straight to dunk with one hand, but the backup center went straight to the ground and got two free throws.
This kind of scene can often be seen in the regular season, he is not afraid of confrontation, and even looks for confrontation, but sometimes he may be violated, but under normal circumstances, a player with impact like him is very able to be recognized by the team.
The 15th and 16th rookies are indeed very good, whether they are the team's starters or substitutes, they can play at a good level, but it will take a few more years of samples to know if he can play completely.
Some rookie rookies who have been fierce in their rookie season have been dull since then, but some have become the core of the team through the accumulation of season after season.
Jaylen Brown hit two free throws to score the only two points in the first quarter of the game before being replaced by the head coach.
With about a minute left in the first quarter, Li Qian was re-transferred to the court, and Towns and Booker also returned to the court in turn.
Li Qian single-handedly defended Downs himself, facing Downs's gorgeous footsteps and soft touch under the basket, it should be okay to single Li Qian, but Downs couldn't resist Li Qian.
It doesn't matter, Downs took advantage of his height, hooked his hand, and high-fived Li Qian after the fight to express his gratitude.
Li Qian looked at Downs with a smile, without the slightest anger, after all, this is also a reflection of the feeling of being in opposition with the tall center.
Li Qian also wanted to play Downs this time, in the face of a delicate guard player like Li Qian, a tall center like Downs was also quite difficult to defend, and the speed couldn't keep up at all, and he was directly broken through to the layup.
This is also a tribute to Downs's goal, the two of them are getting bigger and hotter, and they start to keep looking for opportunities to match, the fans on the scene are watching with relish, and the players on the field can only stare dryly, nothing to worry about.
They also know that it's not good to keep going like this.
Booker got the opportunity to single Li Qian, worshiped Buddha outside the three-point line, deflected Li Qian's center of gravity away, and then directly pulled up a three-point shot, which made Li Qian a little confused.
It may be that he neglected Booker's explosive scoring power, because Russell is the same type and has excellent scoring ability.
The first quarter ended with a three-pointer from Booker, and the International Column temporarily led by three points and went into the break.
On the field is the opponent, off the field is friends, a few people chatted hotly, close to the fans began to ask for autographs, Li Qian and other players gave them autographs one by one.
"The alignment between you and Downs is so interesting, tsk, the visual impact of one big and one small on the basketball court is really obvious, haha." Porzingis took the initiative to come over and said happily to Li Qian.
"Well, I think so too, it's a great feeling, haha." Li Qian also made no secret of his joy.
The second quarter of the game began quickly, the ball of the international column, Li Qian held the ball, and Russell came to defend Li Qian.
Two people hurt each other!
But it didn't last long, and Booker was replaced, and Ingram directly cut off Li Qian's offensive line, and the ball in Li Qian's hand was ruthlessly stolen by Ingram, and a dragon's counterattack was violently dunked!
Li Qian smiled helplessly at Ingram, and Ingram came over and patted Li Qian on the back. (To be continued.) )
