Chapter 168: All-Star Weekend (5)
Rose could only sit back in place and wait patiently, while also pondering Wade's words just now, he is a smart person, otherwise it would be impossible to quickly win the hearts of the Bulls players.
He knew Wade's words just now were pointing at him! But Ross is still not convinced, isn't there another chance! Then try to win people's hearts as much as possible when you mix up a team!
On the court, with the gradual rise of the first grade, the disadvantages are gradually revealed, that is, the defensive ability! If you play seriously, you will try your best to defend, but in a challenge, no one will defend well! So after the sophomore dug fire here in Durant, a new battlefield was opened up again! Keep sending the ball inside and let Horford do things inside!
But fortunately, Marc Gasol's skills are not bad, although he suffers a little in physical fitness, but he is not bad in defensive experience, and he can barely defend against Horford in a one-on-one situation!
Huang Yu and Eric Gordon have Westbrook's support, as well as Beasley and Marc Gasol's assistance! You can fire at the second-grade basket without any fear!
And with the doubling of physical attributes, Huang Yu began to actively grab rebounds, and his scoring ability will not lose to Durant, but if it is not good in other aspects! MVP also has nothing to do with himself! Whether it's offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, Huang Yu's is not easy to let go! Except for the rebounds that will definitely fall into the hands of their own people, even the slightly controversial kind will have to be rushed and grabbed by thousands.
Soon Huang Yu had 18 points and 10 rebounds before he was substituted, while Durant had 21 points and 5 rebounds before the break! Although Huang Yu's score has not caught up with Durant, the rebounds have already doubled!
----------
At halftime, most of the players sat on the sidelines to watch the show! Unless there is an injury on the body, I will go to the locker room for a cold compress! Although you can usually do it on the sidelines, today is obviously not the right day! Commentary desk Kenny Smith also chatted with his partner Charles Barkley after the commercial.
"It's half time now, two! Who do you think the MVP winner of today's rookie game will be? ”
Kenny Smith turned his face to Charles Barkley and James, who were sitting on the sidelines.
"It should be Lakers Rain and Thunder's Kevin Durant!"
James thought about it for a moment and launched two candidates!
"I think Gordon should be added, after all, Gordon's stats are not much worse than these two guys right now."
Charles Barkley thought about it and decisively added Gordon, because he didn't like Durant and Huang Yu, and felt that since they were playing the No. 3 position, they were always floating outside to shoot basketballs, Gordon was very good, at least a few breakthroughs made Barkley feel very MAN!
Soon the long-term singing and dancing performances were over, and the two sides started anew, at this time, the second-year team and the starting lineup were not much different, and Durant, who only rested at the end of the first half, also appeared again! Obviously ready to go out and grab points.
And the first year is a mixed lineup, the twin towers combination of Marc Gasol and Oden! Mayo, Rose, Fernandez in the backcourt!
The sophomore team made the first attack of the second half, Brooks took it to the front court and handed it to Kevin Durant, who pulled it up directly and shot a three-pointer, with Durant's height and reach, Fernandez could only symbolically cushion his feet and watch the basketball go to the basket.
Rose received the serve, faced Brooks' defense, and continued to dribble under the crotch without putting the little black bean in his eyes at all, Brooks was very angry! I saw the hand facing Ross and pulled it out.
Seeing the little black bean start, Rose accelerated directly to shake off Brooks, came to the frontcourt, and after Rose made a breakthrough to attract attention, he distributed the ball to Mayo, but Durant stretched out his long arm and cut off the ball directly in front of Mayo, and a big change of direction shook off the sneak attack of Brooks, and went straight to the hinterland of the first grade!
Durant, who immediately jumped high, stretched his body as much as he could, and poured the ball into the basket fiercely!
Although he successfully scored, there were no cheers for more plays, and Beasley learned Durant's slam dunk in a good way below, and suddenly the first grade burst into laughter!
The All-Star Game is not a regular game, so there is not so much to say, Beasley on the sidelines picked up a basketball, did the action when Durant dunked just now, and then shouted!
"Look like I don't look like a broken watering can!"
As he spoke, the left hand behind his back shook up and down a few times, as if he was accumulating strength, and then the ball he grabbed with his right hand squeezed out with his fingers!
"Hahaha!"
The courtside director didn't waste this classic shot, and I don't know if he had a heart, so he directly put Durant's dunk action and Beasley's funny together! Then the audience burst into laughter! It turned out that when directing P, Durant put the back of his hand behind his back, and Beasley was stuffed into his pants! In fact, he also wants to keep the original, but for the sake of the river crab! You can only put your hand in the pants!
Although Durant was laughing at the big screen there, tears were pouring down in his heart! As for it! Lao Tzu dunked and you didn't cheer, a funny picture laughed so happily, and suddenly Beasley was ruthless.
----------
First-year offense Rose didn't have bells and whistles this time, but directly brushed Brooks inside after halftime! Get attention and give the ball to Fernandez! Then a counter-run came out to catch the ball, Fernandez made a hand-to-hand pass, and then made an off-ball screen to block Brooks! Rose jumped up directly with the block and was about to shoot!
"Smack!"
A pair of big hands split the head and cover the face!
Brooks, who was blocked, saw Rose covered, rushed to the landing point of the basketball with a smoke, and scored a layup after receiving the ball!
Rose looked up at the big screen while retreating, and gently rubbed the back of his hand! It was obvious that Durant had fouled just now! The hand did not hit the ball, but on Rose's supporting hand.
It turned out that the moment of the pass in Fernandez! The sophomore quickly completed the change of defense, Durant did not defend Fernandez, but ambushed and stared at Rose, Durant just started after he provoked, and when Rose jumped to the highest point, Durant jumped up and fanned Rose before he made a shot with his superhuman speed!
In fact, if you wait for the basketball to shoot and cover it, it will actually look better! Otherwise, it's like a foul now, and it's not good-looking! The referee is also embarrassed, whether I blow you or not!
However, he was also lucky, counting him as a block, and the referee chose the fluency of the game and did not blow for Durant's foul!
1st grade serves again! This time, Rose made a three-point shot directly after a simple block!
"Bang!"
His current three-point shot is as sparse as his college one! Oden took off the rebound and thought that his stats were finally not duck eggs, so he threw the ball out and Fernandez received it, and a change of direction went inside, but Starkey had already stood firm in advance to block his way, but Fernandez could only divide the ball again and pass the ball to Rose!
After receiving the basketball, Rose faced Brooks' defense, and Brooks had to take a step back, but Rose then accelerated and changed direction to the inside, and Brooks was also a very fast guard, but Rose directly used strength and speed to eat, and he really couldn't stand it.
Rose, who went inside, shook off Horford's block, hit a pull-up board to pick the ball into the basket, and drew a foul on Horford.
"Tick!"
At this time, the first-year bench stood up three people! They are Yellow Rain, Beasley, Westbrook!
It's still a two-tower tactic, but the backcourt is all changed! Huang Yu was pushed to the No. 2 position! Beasley is back in his familiar No. 3 position!
"Did you see my imitation? Everyone said it was good, but Rain said it looked like a matchstick in his pants! ”
Beasley said with a serious face.
Huang Yu, who was standing not far from them, was sweating profusely, I wiped your sister's Beasley, I asked you to interfere with Durant, you TM are there to pull hatred for me, right!
Durant felt his blood boiling! The anger was already making it hard for him to breathe!
"Hey! Kevin! ”
Starkey passed the ball to Durant, and it was a change of direction to save him! Durant, who was about to lose his mind just now, was about to pinch Beasley's chattering head with those big hands, once he did this, no one could save him, and with Beasley's virtue not pretending to be pitiful, it would already be regarded as the Heat intervening!
----------
Durant, who was ignited by anger, next made a shot on the offensive end! On the defensive end, the bottom block is high! Forced to score 10 points in front of Beasley! And rewarded Beasley with two big adventures!
Although he was more like giving Huang Yu two big adventures to try, Huang Yu and Starki had a lot of fun! The second-year lineup is basically all forward players, and even those two swing men are above 198 in height! So Westbrook plays the same with whomever he wants, but Huang Yu catches Starkey!
Originally, Huang Yu's physical fitness was already much stronger than Starkey, but it was estimated that it was half a catty and eight taels in the counterpoint, but Huang Yu's attributes are now doubled! Playing Starkey alone is simply not too easy!
Receiving a pass from Westbrook, Huang Yu bowed slightly, his legs exploded violently, and he stuck to Starkey diagonally under the basket, Starkey hurriedly stuck to interfere, although his starting speed was a little slower, but the speed was fast enough, Xiao Broken Step followed Huang Yu closely, and one arm tried to make Huang Yu brake.
Starkey's method worked, Huang Yu's activity space was squeezed, and he dribbled with his back, no! He is not skilled and easy to make mistakes, Huang Yu gritted his teeth and suddenly made a big stride forward and stopped sharply to shoot on one side of his body, Starki, who was closely following Huang Yu's side, was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily took an extra step, but his good physical fitness made him follow the brakes closely, and when he saw Huang Yu making a shooting action, he immediately pounced forward.
The corners of Huang Yu's mouth picked! The left leg of the axis body jerked the center of gravity back, and then jumped up and twisted in the air, Starki wanted to reach out to seal his eyes, but Huang Yu's body was getting farther and farther away from him! With a flick of the wrist, the basketball spun at high speed and flew out.
F.. K... Lean back! Starkey yelled badly.
"Huh!"
Basketball goes to the net! The audience cheered! What do they see? Turn and fall back jumper! That paranoid trick in Los Angeles! Although the pose is still a little bit picturesque, there have been a few successes, isn't it!
Of course, as for Huang Yu's goal, many media interviewed Kobe Bryant before the All-Star Game began.
"Kobe, how much do you think Rain's turnaround and step-back jumper has your skills?"
"Maybe a point or two!"
Kobe's answer surprised many people, should you be so strict! But some discerning people can see Kobe's smug appearance in front of the camera! It was a pleasure to be imitated by a rookie in your own house.
"Kobe, you used to imitate Jordan and surpass Jordan! Now Rain is also working hard to surpass you! ”
In the first half of the sentence, Kobe Bryant can still face it with a smile, but the second half of the sentence is a little unhappy, you are thinking about how the Los Angeles Lakers infighting is!
"I haven't surpassed Jordan yet, Rain has to surpass me, so I have to work harder!"
Many media immediately misinterpreted Kobe's meaning.
"If you want to surpass me, come and see the scenery of Los Angeles at 4 a.m. with me!" "I've never seen the scenery of Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, and I still want to surpass me" and so on, and so on, this kind of title is instantly spread!
Huang Yu's turnaround and backward jumper attracted applause from the audience, and Durant was immediately unhappy, what is this! So in the face of Beasley's defense, Durant also came to such a set.
Accelerate to break through the emergency stop and turn around for a jumper! What is this?
"Smack!"
As soon as the basketball was shot, Beasley slapped it away!
"Play this in front of me, it's all Rain's leftovers!"
Beasley said with an unhappy face that because of the fan out of the court, the ball is still in the second grade.
But Durant felt deeply humiliated, all Rain played leftovers? Play the rest? What are you kidding, you look down on yourself so much! The anger that was just hard to suppress rushed up!
In fact, Beasley didn't mean that, Huang Yu in the NCAA game used this trick when he was head-to-head with Beasley, and he was beaten a 2+1! So in the defensive order in Beasley's mind, this action is naturally relatively forward, especially Huang Yu used it again just now, so Beasley's memory involuntarily turned it out, and compared the previous memory with the current memory to see how much Huang Yu has improved!
Durant used this trick just after the comparison in Beasley, and Beasley naturally didn't care about him! The moment he moved, Beasley's body naturally adjusted to the most suitable posture! Blocked Durant's turnaround and step-back jumper in one fell swoop! And Durant made one of the biggest mistakes, that is, forgetting that Beasley is also a jumping man! Although the height and arms are long, it depends on who you compare with, and Beasley is a little more than that, compared to Durant's casualness, Beasley, who has been pitted by this action, but he is engrossed in defending with all his strength, and the ball was blocked immediately before it reached the highest point after Durant shot!
Although there was no deafening laughter from the audience, Durant minded! He can't even search for that star, he knows what Howard's temper is, but it's one thing to know, it's another thing to be able to control it, so he quickly called a timeout and replaced Durant! lest he do other outrageous things.
