Chapter 156: Go to the special teammates
After the Adi event in the morning, Sun Hao participated in Mercedes-Benz's promotion activities in the afternoon, as well as the fan meeting officially arranged by the league.
All-Star Weekend is a time of rest for fans, but it's even busier than usual for him.
And after he was done, he ate casually, rested for a while and began to do warm-up training in preparation for the rookie challenge in the evening.
The Rookie Game originated in 1994 and was first divided into a team of talents and a team of passion (no one knows what it was like), then a white team and a green team (maybe Americans like to live a little green?). And then there were the Eastern and Western Forces, which lasted for four years (isn't it quite what you think?). )。
It wasn't until last year that the rookie competition was changed to a first- and second-year competition format that Sun Hao was somewhat familiar with.
And the first class was an upset, the first-year team, led by the champion Lang Brand, was stunned to overturn the second-year team 95-83 in overtime, and Brand himself won the MVP of the rookie game.
And it can be seen from the score that the rookie game this year is definitely a real fight.
It also shows how strong the rookies of the class of 1999 are, and now they are a sophomore.
In fact, if you look at this year's list of sophomores, you can feel it somewhat.
Defenders: Francis, Richard Hamilton, Andre Miller, Jason Terry;
Forward + inside: Szzebiak, Marion, Odom, Brand.
Because of the 9-person limit in the quota, Artest and Margeti didn't even have a chance to be selected!
And don't think they're just sophomores, among these sophomores, Francis, Brand, and Terry have all become star stars, averaging 20+ per game.
The rest of the selected ones also have an average of 15+ points per game.
Think something is wrong? "Coco Lee" Old Miller too?
Of course, the first game in the Cavaliers is 15+8 per game!
It is said that the 96 golden generation and the 03 platinum generation, but the 99 year is definitely a silver generation!
Let's look at the rookie team.
Defenders: Sun Hao, Quentin Richardson, Martin Cliffes
Forward + Inside: Mike Miller, Darius Myers, Stephen Jackson, Maurice Peterson, Kenyon Martin, Mark Jackson.
Except for a few familiar names, the rest have never heard of them, and this is their rookie season!
There is no harm if there is no comparison, this looks at the second-grade team like a full Han seat, and the first-grade team is like a clear soup with little water.
And in this clear soup, there are two rookies who are not the class of 2000.
Mark Jackson and "Martial Saint" Stephen Jackson, both of whom were second-round picks in 1997, did not get a contract that year, and this season can be regarded as gaining a foothold in the league.
This kind of real game is much more difficult than Sun Hao playing the Lakers in the Mavericks.
However, such a comparison of strength made Sun Hao full of motivation.
Defeating the strong with the weak is the most exciting part of competitive sports.
After practicing for a while, people came to the stadium one after another, and all of them came from the side of the one-year team.
Peterson, Richardson, Miller, Cliffes......
Rookies always pay more attention to this kind of competition.
Just like freshmen, they are always the most active group of people on campus.
However, what Sun Hao didn't expect was that Clifts actually came to him to ask for an autograph.
This made him a little unexpected.
After all, everyone is a rookie, and really speaking, Sun Hao really has no impression of this Clift.
But it's not to blame Sun Hao, who has only played in the NBA for a total of 6 seasons, and the rookie is at his peak, and he only averaged 5.4 points and 2.7 assists per game in this peak season.
As for why he was selected, he played well before the All-Star break.
After practicing for a while, the rest of the two teams came to the stadium one after another.
Compared to Clifts, the attitude of the others is more ordinary.
After all, everyone was not familiar with each other before, and this kind of competition, whether it is teammates or opponents, is a competitive relationship.
Of course, there are exceptions, Szzebiak, and the "handsome guy" came to chat with him again.
"Europeans."
At this moment, Kenyon Martin, who was not far away, let out another disdainful murmur.
He has never been interested in overseas players.
Not to mention that Sun Hao stole so much of the limelight yesterday.
Of course, these are not the most important things, the most unhappy thing for him is that many media now say that Sun Hao should be the champion show!
The rookie season isn't over yet!
I really don't take him seriously!
The game was about to start, and the fans began to enter the stadium one after another.
In addition to Yi Jianlian, Sun Hao also saw Lao Curry and his two eldest nephews.
Old Curry sat quite forward.
Sun Hao went over to say hello, and suddenly became interested.
"Stephen, watch me shoot."
After saying a word to Curry, Sun Hao walked straight back.
Curry's little eyes were full of curiosity.
In fact, it's not just him, Old Curry is also curious about what Sun Hao is going to do.
But when Sun Hao walked to the midfield, he was a little aware.
The atmosphere of all-stars is a show, and Sun Hao is also very aware of this.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, he wants to come with his logo three points!
This can also be regarded as setting an example for his eldest nephew.
"Uncle is going to shoot in that position?"
Seeing Sun Hao set up driving, Curry had an incredulous expression, because there was also ...... It's too far.
Can a normal person throw it there?
Curry Sr. didn't answer because he thought the same thing as Curry.
Sun Hao glanced at Curry, pretended to be a little forced to make a gesture to signal Curry to look at the frame, and then shot directly.
The ball flew a long way.
"Huh!"
Then the first goal went in!
"Really voted! Uncle is amazing! I'm going to be there in the future! ”
Curry looked excited and adoring.
It's really handsome!
“……”
Old Curry couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Sun Hao used this logo as training, and also taught bad children......
Then Sun Hao voted for the second one.
"Huh!"
Also in!
"Cool! Cruel! ”
Curry shouted excitedly.
At this time, the eyes of many fans were attracted by Sun Hao.
Then Sun Hao threw the third.
"Huh!"
There are even more!
“……”
Old Curry feels that Sun Hao is an open hanger!
The fans at the scene were also excited.
But when they wanted to watch it again, Sun Hao seemed to have finished a set of boxing techniques and called it a day directly!
The fans at the scene were slightly disappointed, but they were also full of anticipation for the rookie game.
It's the perfect hot spot.
Sun Hao was also a little excited.
Logo three points such a thing, whether it is a day ago, a day or a future, Curry, it is impossible to be sure.
I didn't expect him to score three in a row!
This is really a blessing from heaven.
But this is also the reason why he didn't continue to vote, and if he continued to vote and then entered, I am afraid that the heavenly family will directly become a curse.
When he sees it, he accepts it, and the three that come in in a row also send him a signal.
Tonight is a crisp autumn season, suitable for the day.
"That's how the ball is thrown."
And after the cast, Sun Hao inevitably ran to Curry's side to teach on the spot.
Old Curry on the side had a dry cough.
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't have asked Sun Hao to teach him in the first place, and if he taught him like this, the ghost knew what he would teach.
After the warm-up, the scene was already full.
Zhang Weiping and Su Qun were also ready for the broadcast seat early.
Because of Sun Hao's participation, the NBA's rookie game was specially arranged for CCTV broadcasting, which also created a history.
"Director Zhang, what do you think Xiao Sun can do tonight?"
Daily questions before the game, Su Qun habitually threw them out.
"I think, Xiao Sun is likely to win the MVP tonight, which is what we call the most valuable player."
Zhang Weiping was full of smiles.
Su Qun didn't finish listening to it, so he laughed first.
I'm afraid that his position as the chief Sun Chui is really not guaranteed.
"Eh, don't believe it, our little sun is the All-Star Ticket King, and the All-Star Ticket King won't be too much to win the Most Valuable Player of the Rookie Game, right?"
"It's not too much, but the first-year team wins."
Su Qun was used to Zhang Weiping talking nonsense in a serious manner, but he also said the main point.
"It's difficult to do this, but isn't it the first-year team that won last year~ I have a hunch that winning this year is also a first-year team."
Su Qun couldn't help but cough twice after hearing this.
The first grade I won last year is now my second grade! Just put Sun Hao across from them!
However, Zhang Weiping's sixth sense was fulfilled the first two times.
It is said that there are no more than three things, and if this is fulfilled again, there will be a "Zhang Weiping's law".
But whenever Director Zhang has a hunch of the game, Sun Hao will definitely break out.
While the two were talking, the starters on the scene had already appeared one after another.
On the sophomore side, Francis and Terry on the outside, Marion and Odom on the front, and Brand on the center.
On the side of the one-year team, Sun Hao and Richardson on the outside, Mike Miller and Kenyon Martin on the front, and Mark Jackson on the center.
Jackson brought the ball back to half court and officially kicked off the game.
Martin asked for the ball on the inside as soon as he came up.
Sun Hao hoisted the ball in, Martin leaned left and right, and then turned to the basket to kill.
His movements are pretty standard, but his steps are a bit clumsy.
Although he bypassed Odom with his physical advantage, Brand came over to help him and directly blocked his way.
His passing is still a bit bad.
To put it bluntly, what he's good at is the kind of pick-and-roll that catches the ball and hits the basket in one step.
This kind of back beating is the same as Wu Dalang's rape, he has a weak heart.
His shot smashed out of the frame under Brand's interference, trying to grab offensive rebounds with his physical fitness, but Brand had a much longer arm span than him and had already pocketed the rebounds.
The first attack of the first-year team was in vain.
In retrospect, the sophomore team played a mercury-like offense.
Brand's pick-and-roll, Francessy's breakout, Odom's fake shot, fake lay-up, and Terry's outside three-point pocket.
It feels like the Dream Team is playing an international game!
The individual ability of the second-grade team is significantly stronger than that of the first-grade team.
Sun Hao advanced to the front court with the ball, and Martin was in the inside line again.
And when he was in a good position, he was reaching for the ball.
It's simply true.
Sun Hao directly ignored him.
If you can't score, you can also divide the situation, one is almost the feel, and the other is not that ability.
Martin, this clearly falls into the latter category.
The key is not self-aware.
But everyone is a team, and he doesn't want to get into a stalemate so early.
He reached out and motioned for Martin to pull up to the top to block the pick-and-roll, making a generic tactical gesture of bursting.
It's a very good choice, what Martin is good at is hitting the rim directly after receiving the ball, plus his three-point threat, it's a bit of a poor version of Curry and James blocking and picking.
But Martin ...... Ignoring his gestures, he was still in that position.
Sun Hao ignored him and signaled a new tactic.
He can score, but he can also organize.
The position of a two-way defender, he has already proven himself in Europe.
Jackson gave Richardson a beautiful pick-and-roll.
In fact, he is a serious big center on both sides.
Sun Hao made the ball early, and Richardson received the ball with a three-point shot...... A little off.
"Big Q" will be an excellent three-point shooter in the future, but his shooting in his rookie season is not consistent enough.
Martin picked up the offensive rebound with his excellent physical attributes.
However, Brand was very good at the basket, and Martin didn't have a direct second chance to attack.
Sun Hao signaled on the outside to give the ball out and reorganize, but Martin attacked directly.
As a result, Brand was on guard and seized the opportunity to be a frontal adventure.
The ball fell into Odom's hands, and the "left-handed magician" made a long flick from the back, and the ball was thrown directly to midfielder Francis.
Francis rushed to the frontcourt, soared into the air, and directly a C-shaped violent abuse frame!
The scene exploded directly.
The C-line dunk is tied to Westbrook in the future.
But in fact, Francis is the Westbrook of the beginning of the century, and his physicality is a bug in the guard.
5 to 0!
The second-grade team opened the game and gave the first-year team a big dismissal.
Sun Hao went to the front court to organize again, and this time the ball passed to Miller.
A very good opportunity, Sun Hao feels that there is a chance that this goal can be scored.
Miller's words are the most consistent shooting among the rookies in this class besides him.
"Phew!"
It's a pity that Miller is also a Mamba fan, so he smashed the frame and came out!
And the shot is very hard.
It can be clearly felt that on a big stage like the rookie game, they showed their real rookie side.
Brand protects the defensive rebound.
The sophomore team fought back again.
This time, Sun Hao gave Francis a confrontation in advance, and Richardson and Jackson's retreat were timely and prevented this wave of fast attack.
Francis singled out Sun Hao on the outside, and the two had a lot of physical contact, and the fans who watched it were also coaxing.
However, Sun Hao showed his defensive progress, and his footwork and small movements did not give Francis comfortable to break through and forced him to shoot.
Francis shook his mid-range shot and smashed out of the frame, and Martin protected the defensive rebound.
Sun Hao was like a spring under his feet, and he accelerated past Francis with one key to take the lead in sweeping the midfield.
But Martin ...... It didn't even pass on!
Not only did he not pass, but he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
This time he was caught by Marion, and as soon as the ghost knife opened, he looked back and cut the ball directly!
Before Martin could react, Marion had already taken the ball and scored a layup.
7 to 0!
The second-year team is on the offensive.
Sun Hao wanted to scold his mother when he walked back to the backcourt.
A word suddenly occurred to him.
If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.
Tonight is another god-like opponent and a pig-like teammate.
It's literal.
No wonder Martin is so unpopular in history.
This guy is a lucky Swift!
If you want to shoot but don't shoot, if you want to pass the ball but don't pass the ball, your brain is not very good.
If he hadn't met Kidd in his second year as a rookie, he really didn't know what it would have been.
And what Sun Hao didn't expect was that when he dribbled to the front court again, Martin was still asking for the ball!
&ui!
What a shame!
Sun Hao directly ignored him.
He beckoned Jackson to come out and block the demolition.
In contrast, Jackson is much more well-behaved, with a high-quality pick-and-roll.
Sun Hao burst in by blocking and dismantling, attracted the bag and distributed it to Richardson.
Richardson shook his mid-range shot that took two steps inside...... Or not!
The first-year team had a cold hand at the beginning.
Nervousness is certainly the main factor, but the feeling is also contagious.
They need a goal now.
But clearly, that's not something they can think about right now.
After the rebound fell into Odom's hands, it was like the wind, and the ball crossed the half court.
It's Francis again, he's always one step ahead.
And this time, after seeing that the defense behind him didn't catch up, he dribbled the ball to the three-point line, and then threw the ball to the free throw line.
When he rushed into the inside, the bounced basketball fell, and he grabbed it and immediately slammed it with both hands!
Self-throwing and self-deduction!
It's a slam dunk contest for the rookie game!
The scene burst into cheers.
Houston's results this season are significantly better than last season, and they are now only half a win away from the Timberwolves, who are eighth in the West.
Francis is undoubtedly the number one contributor, he averages 21 points, 7.1 shifts, 6.5 assists and 2.1 steals per game, a 45%+39% shooting rate, and solid All-Star statistics.
If it weren't for the fierce competition for Western Conference guards, he would have been named to the All-Star Game.
For him, the rookie game is a place to play and enjoy basketball.
9 to 0!
Although they all knew before the game that there was a gap in the strength of the two teams, no one expected that the beginning would be such a one-sided situation.
"Sun Hao wants to attack more personally!"
On the broadcast seat, Su Qun couldn't help but speak.
Sun Hao has been organizing since the opening, and several ball passes are very good, but his teammates don't feel good, and Martin, an undercover agent, can't be moved.
In fact, not only Su Qun, but Curry in the stands was also in a hurry, why didn't his Uncle Sun make a move!
In fact, in the back of the grandstand on the first floor, James also came.
Since being inspired by Sun Hao, he has regarded Sun Hao as an idol and a target to be defeated.
Sun Hao's game, how could he miss it.
And he's not like everyone else, he's secretly observing.
Knowing himself and knowing his opponent, he must not only learn from Sun Hao, but also find Sun Hao's weaknesses in playing.
"It's coming!"
At this moment, Zhang Weiping exclaimed.
On the court, Sun Hao asked Richardson to block and dismantle him, and after the defender became Terry, he directly signaled to pull away.
At the end of the game, he realized that even if he had saved up a wave of character before the game, the game would eventually become a game of damnation.
Now he is possessed by a mamba and possessed by a stone Buddha.
Go to the special team members, Lao Tzu is going to do it alone!
