In fact, this year's Lu Fei should not have participated in the rookie challenge this year.

The league has a rule that players who participate in the All-Star Game cannot participate in the Rookie Challenge, and Yao Ming did not participate in the Rookie Challenge last year because he beat O'Neal to become an All-Star starter.

But this year, due to the appeal of Yao Ming and Lu Fei in the Chinese market, especially Lu Fei's sudden rise and great influence even among American fans, the league was forced to abolish this rule in order to allow Lu Fei to participate in the Rookie Challenge.

Ginobili took a look at the player in front of him who had forced the league to change its rules.

For Lu Fei, the Spurs studied it separately.

To say he's fast, he doesn't seem to be as fast as players like Parker Iverson, to say that he's accurate shooting, he's sometimes not as good as his teammate Ray Allen, and to say that he's physical, that's probably a joke.

His height is not very high, obviously a few centimeters taller than when he first entered the league, but it does not affect his second-class crippled height in the NBA, his bounce is very good, but it is only compared to his height, the NBA has players who can jump, all of them are tall and have long arms, which look more than Lu Fei can jump.

So why is it that a player like him can become a core player in an NBA team and lead the team to a third-place finish in the West?

Ginobili clearly remembers Popovich pointing his finger at his head as he answered the question.

Basketball IQ!

Popovich spent a night picking out the details of all the game videos from Lu Fei's college days to the NBA to the present, many times the change of tactics on the court did not have a timeout at all, if it was once or twice, it would be enough, after all, the existence of many court commanders can do on-the-spot command, but the number of on-the-spot commands by Lu Fei seems to be too frequent.

Even from the coach's point of view, with such a player, the coach basically becomes an ornament?

But Lu Fei has a good control of this, and when the coach assigns it, he will also complete the task well according to the intention of the coach, as for the occasional mistake in and out, it can only be regarded as a stroke of genius.

Lu Fei is the kind of player who doesn't look strong at all.

But only after actually playing against him do you know that he really just doesn't look strong, he is not only strong in the offensive end, but even on the defensive end, he can organize the opponent's defense well.

When the opponent's ball moves to one side, you will find that Lu Fei will quickly slide his teammate over, and when the ball moves to the other side, his teammate will slide back again.

Is it simple?

This is a coach of a little bit of a level, and he will set up this kind of defense, but when there are people on the court who can make all his teammates follow his command to defend, the team's defensive system will make a qualitative leap.

That's the horror of Lu Fei.

However, it was just a show game in front of him, and Ginobili only sighed when he faced Lu Fei's defense.

In the performance game, the player's defense was naturally very lax, and Stoudemire shook off Carmelo Anthony's defense with an empty cut and cut directly to the basket.

With a flick of Ginobili's hand, the basketball crossed an arc and headed straight for the basket, where Stoudemire jumped high and caught the ball in the air with a slam dunk.

Kaman only gave him a symbolic look, not even stretching out his hand.

"Ystad...... Mai ...... ......"

MC elongated the end note to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, and the first ball was such a beautiful empty catch, and the scene was directly ignited.

Carman served from the bottom line, Lu Fei received the ball and dribbled a step and then directly made a pass from the backcourt through the whole court, LeBron James picked up the basketball like a heavy tank and ran to the basket Tomahawk to split the dunk.

The basket shuddered as it was buttoned.

"Beautiful!"

"Wow, this dunk is really handsome!"

Only then did all the fans realize that this rookie challenge seemed to look better than the All-Star Game in previous years.

Yao Ming and Carman didn't even run past half the court, and the attack on this side was already over.

LeBron James ran back and high-fived Lu Fei in celebration.

This is the reason why they chose Lu Fei as the tactical core, because Lu Fei is an excellent playmaker, he is very good at passing, so there will be no shortage of opportunities for them to perform.

The most important thing is that Lu Fei will not snatch the right to play with them.

Because Lu Fei wanted to retain his physical strength to play the All-Star Game, after a few of them discussed, it was decided that Lu Fei would organize the attack, and they only needed to be responsible for making every score more beautiful.

……

Yao Ming passed the ball in the high post to Stoudemire, who hung on the basket and did a pull-up to flex his muscles.

……

Stoudemire turned his back to Punch Mellon-Anthony, ran into the inside and pulled the onions on dry ground, and the basket made a "bang" sound.

This kind of exhibition game is obviously more suitable for a player like Stoudemire who can carry and dunk, and he takes the second-year player to play on the inside of the first-year player.

In fact, it was the reason why Kaman only had a real inside line in the first grade, and Kaman didn't have much advantage of Yao Ming, plus it was an exhibition game, so he didn't really defend Stoudemire.

In the first grade, it's one word, quick!

You score, I score, and I score better than you.

After Lu Fei broke through, he didn't stop the ball in his hands, his eyes looked at Kaman, but the basketball in his hand flew towards Wade, who rushed up directly and hung his arms on the frame.

……

Before Stoudemire had even run past halftime, he found that Carmelo Anthony had rushed to the three-point line, and Lu Fei's ball whistled past Stoudemire's ears, and Carmelo Anthony received the ball and shook off his defense with a tentative step towards the oncoming Jaric.

The dribble step stop jump shot is picturesque, the basketball spins quickly in the air, and the basketball enters the net with a "swish".

The two sides went back and forth, and the score was very tight, but there was no urgency in the game.

The coach replaced the main players in turn, and replaced the substitutes of both sides.

Bosh took to the court in a Raptors red jersey while Prince and Nene were replaced on the other side.

Nene obviously couldn't defend against Bosh, who shook Nene with a shooting feint, and then dribbled straight into the opponent's penalty area, raised one arm high, and ended the attack with a powerful dunk.

The fans in the audience kept shouting, this ball looks really hard, because you have watched Hu Biao score, have you ever watched Hu Biao dunk?

Have you ever seen Boozer turn out to be so brutal?

Can you imagine that the stuck, slow Karman can dunk it all the time?

Have you ever seen Wade's windmill dunk hang like this?

Scarlett Johansson didn't think it was interesting to watch it off the court, but you guys were working hard one by one, and I didn't see Lu Fei deduct one......

Even when the game was almost over in the second quarter, Lu Fei only scored 5 points, or two shots.

To be honest, Lu Fei was also not interested in playing such a game, but it was just because he could play with James Anthony Wade as a teammate that he sweated a little.

Yao Ming is also lacking in interest as him, because his style of play is more inclined to actual combat, so neither the rookie challenge nor the All-Star game is very friendly to him.

On the contrary, it was Stoudemire who played vigorously.

Stoudemire has always been more interested in things that can suppress Yao Ming's limelight, especially after he proved that he was better than Yao Ming and won the best rookie last year, this year's league turned out to be Yao Ming in the C position of the rookie challenge, which made him a little unhappy in his heart.

As the game entered the third quarter, the smell of gunpowder on both sides seemed to be getting stronger.

At first, it was James' crotch dunk that ignited the atmosphere of the whole court, and it seemed that this was just a continuation of the first half dunk, but I didn't expect the opposite Prince to return it with an identical crotch dunk.

Even farther to jump! The buckle is more exciting!

This buckle suddenly made the atmosphere solemn......

Is this a slap in the face?
