Some heroes create the times, and some times make heroes.

Guo Xu participated in a rookie tournament that had undergone a major transformation, and if it had been in the previous sessions, he would not have scored so easily.

The Rookie Game was first held in 1994 and was divided into the "Talent Team" and the "Passion Team", and the roster was made up entirely of rookie players. In 1995, it was changed to a white team and a green team, which was still made up entirely of rookie players. In 1996, the rookies began to be divided into east and west, and the confrontation began. It was only in 2000 that the rookie team began to play the sophomore team.

The first challenge in '94 was a failure, and the team with the second game was 74-68, and the genius team won, and Anfernee Hardaway was elected MVP.

The fans were almost asleep watching it, and after the game it was full of doubts, the winning side didn't see how talented it was, and the gang on the other side was even less passionate, looking like a bunch of crazy scrap wood.

After that, the score of each rookie game was very low, because they were all first-year newcomers, and the competition was very fierce, all of them were real play, playing hard defense, and there were two games where the players were angry.

President David Stern gradually realized that the game could not be done like this, it was too uncommercial, and in 2000 it was changed to a second-class vs. a first-year victory, which resulted in a 92-83 victory in the first class, and Brand won the MVP, although the score was still not high, but the ratings increased a lot.

The league has since found the right way to play, and this season has followed the rules of the two-year rivalry.

In this way, the mentality of the players is a little different, the sophomores have already played a game last year, and they found that their hard defense could not steal the limelight from the All-Star players, and this time the defense will not be too hard, and they will have to work on the offensive end.

Starting this year, in order to attract the attention of fans, rookies will also begin to imitate the model of the All-Star Game and develop in the direction of exhibition games.

In the second-year attack, Francis forced a breakthrough in the face frame, Guo Xu did not seriously defend and put it inside, Francis jumped up in the middle and wanted to dunk violently, but Martin flew up on the side and covered the ball with a one-handed slap.

Martin doesn't care about any challenge, he just likes to show people his bounce and power, averaging 4.1 fouls per game, and occasionally he doesn't have a foul and it's beautiful.

Francis lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, unable to return to the defense quickly, Richardson picked up the basketball and passed to the front court without thinking about it, he played this kind of cooperation in the NCAA Final Four, knowing that Guo Xu had a misplaced opportunity to go quickly.

Guo Xu received the ball on the right side and attacked quickly, Odom returned to defend quickly, but he retreated relatively backward, Guo Xu was in a good position, and without waiting for his teammates, he chose to grab three points on the right side and hit another one. 8 to 0.

Woodson smiled: "If the regular season has to be called a timeout, Jason Guo is the favorite for tomorrow's three-point contest, so it will definitely not work to prevent him from shooting, and the defense of the sophomore team has a big problem." ”

"Fans definitely love to see them play like that, and there's never been a player in a rookie game who scored back-to-back points," Horwass said. ”

Francis was a little annoyed by Martin's block, and he felt that his 20+6+6 stats this year should have been selected for the All-Star Game instead of playing in the Rookie Game. He beckoned to his teammates for cover, played a pick-and-roll with Brand, and misplaced himself against Martin.

Martin is a blue-collar man, he plays a defensive-oriented style of play wherever he goes, switches defenses immediately, and is as fast as a defender to keep up. Francis forced a layup to dodge Martin's block and deflected off the basket with a heavy interference.

Richardson grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and made another long pass, this time Guo Xu rushed faster, and he entered the three-point line when Francis returned to the defense. Brand is a heavy interior lineman, and after the misalignment, the speed difference was very long, and he was thrown two meters away.

Guo Xu took two steps after receiving the ball, jumped up with one hand to support the ball, when the ball was about to touch the basket, the other hand followed up and grabbed the ball, and dunked the basketball with both hands. 10 to 0.

The cheering fans grew, which stimulated Francis, who was more anxious to return one by the two defenders in the opening period.

Guo Xu lowered his center of gravity two steps away to prevent a breakthrough and did not shoot, and Francis pulled out three points again and finally hit. 10 to 3.

After scoring the goal, Francis was a little grateful to Guo Xu, if he didn't score again, he would be too faceless, if Guo Xu was as close as he was in the regular season, he wouldn't have scored so easily.

Guo Xu will not defend hard when he arrives on this occasion, and there is no bonus for offending people.

In the first-year attack, Guo Xu took the ball to the front court and Martin in the middle to block and dismantle, lowered the center of gravity and forcibly broke through the right side to the bottom line, attracting Odom to change defense.

When he was about to reach the baseline, he stopped and turned to pass the ball to the middle, Martin followed up, jumped up in one step, and smashed the ball with both hands!

12 to 3, it was easy for Guo Xu to assist Martin, and this person blocked and dismantled the next choice, and the mid-range shot was unstable.

Attacking in the second year, Francis also began to pass the ball, and Szzambiak ran to catch the ball and hit a three-point shot. 12 to 6.

Guo Xu found another block, this time Francis chased the defense in place, Guo Xu distributed the ball to his teammates, Richardson relied on Jackson's off-ball cover from the right bottom corner to 70 degrees, and hit a three-point shot.

15 to 6, Guo Xu's second assist.

Brand wasn't so tight when defending teammate Richardson, and Guo Xu thought of this before the game and told Richardson to run aggressively. Last year's rookie Sebrand won the MVP, and it was almost impossible for him to win the championship, but he just came to relax this time and play without any passion at all.

The Bulls are currently at the bottom of the league in the regular season, and the management is very dissatisfied with Brand's ability to lead the team, and he is under a lot of pressure. Even if Brand goes all out, his down-to-earth style of play isn't suitable for a star weekend.

A good point guard must not only understand his teammates, but also understand his opponents, although Guo Xu does not have many assists in the Lakers, he is good at distributing the ball reasonably and passing to people who are easy to score.

Brand picked up Jackson with the ball, both of them were strong, Brand was a little shorter at only 203CM, but he had the advantage of arm span, turned and threw to avoid the block ball and score. 15 to 8.

Guo Xu took to the front court and beckoned to his teammates to find cover, and suddenly started to break to the left side, and Francis followed.

Guo Xu quickly observed the situation, Martin attracted the defense in the middle, and Brand and Jackson were more outside, and the penalty area was empty.

He held the ball with his left hand with his back, leaned his back against Francis, shook his left shoulder to the middle, and at the same time gently patted the basketball with his right hand to his left hand, making a feint to turn to the middle. Francis's center of gravity moved slightly, Guo Xu held the ball in his left hand and quickly turned to the right side.

Guo Xu broke through this time and completely got rid of the defense, smashed into the basket on the left side, and easily picked the basketball with his right hand.

17-8, 12th individual score.

The second-year offense, passed twice, Odom made a mistake in distributing the ball to Hamilton, and was directly tackled by Richardson to counterattack, Guo Xu received the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Guo Xu broke through the road frame, took a big step with the ball in his left hand, and slapped the ball to his right hand while colliding with Francis, the racket was relatively backward, deliberately causing Francis to reach forward and steal.

He dodged the steal sideways, held the ball in his right hand and changed direction to the right side to break through, relying on speed to pass people, Francis saw that he couldn't keep up, and hurriedly pulled people to foul.

Guo Xu hit both free throws from the free throw line, 19-8, his 14th personal point.

During the dead-ball period, the sophomores made the first substitution, with Francis coming off the pitch and Jason Terry coming up.
