Wu Huang also found another good news in this attack - Ross is in poor form today, less than 24 hours ago, this man just played a difficult away game, and last night the Dallas airport was delayed due to heavy snow, resulting in many unlucky people not getting enough rest, and it is strange that he is in good shape now.

Soon, Rose did not anticipate Wu Huang's defensive intensity on the offensive end, and was tackled between offensive and defensive transitions.

Wu Huang immediately passed to Evans, who scored two more points for the first-year team with a one-handed dunk, which was Wu Huang's first assist of the day. Immediately afterwards, Wu Huang used the blocking and dismantling cooperation with his old teammate Gibson on the offensive end, and made a quick shot outside the three-point line to hit the first three-pointer of the game.

With three minutes into the first half, fans were in disbelief that the sophomores had not scored a point in three minutes except for two points on their first offense, which was not like the performance of a show-off All-Star Game.

On the other hand, the first-grade team, they really gave the second-grade brothers a blow to the head! After the opening game, they continued to play fast offense after the transition between offense and defense, and the shooting percentage was extremely high, and the scoreboard on the sidelines kept changing numbers, and the first-year team quickly scored more than double digits.

The rules of the Rookie Challenge are different from the official game and are more similar to the rules of the NCAA, with the game divided into two halves of 20 minutes and two halves, with each team having one 100-second timeout and one 20-second timeout in each half. In addition, there were two mandatory commercial pauses in each half, one at 7 minutes and 14 minutes into the half. Foul play will be counted by the Record Desk, but there will be no 6 fouls left the field.

16 minutes and 55 seconds of the first half. The score was 13:2. The first-grade team led the second-grade team by 11 points. But Ewing did not request a time-out due to limited suspensions.

Wu Huang has contributed 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal in just three minutes, and the process is just like the plan he secretly came up with before the game, except for the previous break to Evans for a ball, most of his offense is a simple blocking and dismantling cooperation with his interior teammates, and then either attack himself or pass to the next inside player, his three assists are obtained in this way.

Charles Barkley laughed: "It seems that the rookies are bringing the pre-game excitement to the court, and Hugo in particular has been amazing. The 13 points scored by the first-year team were all related to him, and while the second-graders made repeated mistakes at the start, Rose had a disappointing performance and had problems both offensively and defensively. ”

Kenny Smith also said: "There are a lot of outside players on the sophomore team, and they keep shooting three-point shots, but these guys are all wasted shots, and the shooting percentage is not satisfactory. Only Gallinari had one shot in the opening period, but they missed a lot of shots since then. On top of that, the inability to receive passes on the inside, which has a clear height advantage, makes their advantage a show. ”

These two men were right. Rose didn't have a lot of desire to attack today, and in the first few minutes of the opening period, he actually had more of the ball in his hands. But the Thunder's second-in-command apparently didn't plan to play with his teammates on the inside, and although he gave Rose and Gallinari a pass each, neither of them could shoot the ball.

Although Ewing did not ask for a timeout, he stood on the sidelines and shouted to the team to play inside, the gorilla, who has a lot of coaching experience, has already seen that those guys on the opposite side want to play this game with real guns, and now their own team has lost the lead, at this time, they can no longer shoot uncontrollably on the outside, and must play the inside line with a higher success rate.

But no one expected that the interior of the first-year team didn't have any face at all, and DeJuan Blair, who is 198cm tall, actually used a front defense to deal with Lopez in the All-Star Game, which was greatly unexpected.

Yao Ming was so happy on the sidelines that he almost squirted popcorn out, and this year's rookie game was really interesting, and this kind of defensive intensity has been rare in years.

DeJuan Blair is only 198cm tall, which is an interior line similar to Hayes, but his arm span is more perverted than Haiye, 220cm long, which allows him to make up for his height defects to a large extent.

Westbrook's passing ability was so-so, and in this case he followed Ewing's instructions and passed into the interior to target Lopez, who has excellent skills in the low post.

But unfortunately, he obviously underestimated De Juan's defensive ability and the pair of ape arms in this ball, and his lob was not able to hang over De Juan's head, but was stopped halfway.

DeJuan had previously staged a two-handed dunk under the basket, and it was Wu Huang who passed the ball for him. The Spurs felt that Wu Huang, the All-Star ticket king, had not fooled him, and had already made up his mind that as long as he grabbed the rebound today, he would only pass it to Wu Huang alone.

Wu Huang received a pass, and the first-year team launched a fast break again, this time it was Cosby who received a pass and scored a layup, and Wu Huang's fourth assist arrived.

"It's beautiful, I believe you now, we can really beat them!" Cosby didn't think they could beat the sophomores, but they opened with a 15-2 and all the first-year players now believe what Wu Huang said during the pre-game mobilization that they really have the ability to beat the sophomores.

"It's so handsome, 15 points are all Hugo's contributions!"

"I must marry him, I will give him a baby!"

"The most handsome guy in sports is not Beckham now, it should be Hugo!"

“…………”

The second-grade team led 15:2 at the beginning, and countless female fans began to be again, and Wu Huang could hear many female fans on the field shouting to marry him, which made his vanity unprecedentedly satisfied.

It was embarrassing for him to call a timeout in the first four minutes, but the score on the court forced him to make the first tactical adjustment early, and the sophomore team now had to score, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

The sophomore team called for a 100-second timeout, and Durant high-fived his teammates one by one on the sidelines, and Terry Stotts took a timeout without substitutions. Just like Ewing was reluctant to call a timeout so early. Substitutions shouldn't have taken place so early.

However, the second-year team, which was behind by a large score, had to make personnel adjustments at this time. Ewing made a quick decision to replace the tired Rose with Mayo, allowing Wei Shao to return to the No. 1 position.

After the timeout, the sophomore lineup became: Westbrook, Mayo, Gallinari, Beasley, Lopez.

After the game restarted, it was not Mayo who helped the sophomores to regain face, but Gallinari, whose three-pointer finally ended the sophomore scoring drought, but Gibson immediately responded with a jumper after receiving a break from Wu Huang. Kasby, known as Israel's Yao Ming, then made another slam dunk, and the first-year rookies extended their lead again at 19-5.

Charles Barkley couldn't help but shake his head: "Hugo has five assists, do you guess he wants to get a high score or a high assist today?" ”

Kenny Smith replied: "I think he wanted to play both, scoring seven points, two rebounds and five assists in less than five minutes of the game, and maybe he wasn't even going to let go of the rebounds." I bet with you he'll get another big triple-double today. ”

In the ensuing competition, the momentum of the first-year rookie team was unstoppable, and a simple block and dismantling match made the second-grade team anxious!

Wei Shao's defense suddenly leaked today, although his footsteps could keep up with Emperor Wu, but he was often shaken and lost his center of gravity when facing feints. To put it mildly, it's not smart enough on the defensive end.

"You're weaker than you were the last time we met. Have you not even made any progress after all this time? "Wu Huang is actually embarrassed to give trash talk on this occasion, which is really beyond Westbrook's expectations, the two of them formed a feud when they fought last time, and they didn't greet each other before the game today, Wu Huang will naturally not be embarrassed to move his mouth at this moment.

Westbrook's face was red for a while, this time it was still not due to shame, but because he was so angry that he was brain congested again, Wei Shao's simple personality really couldn't think of how to fight back against this damn guy, and he couldn't scold directly, and it was difficult for him to get blood gushing.

In fact, Wei Shao's inability to prevent Wu Huang's breakthrough is related to the interior defense of the second-year team, and no one here can delay Wu Huang's breakthrough for him after he is out of position, so his secondary defensive ability cannot be reflected.

Of the four interior lines of the sophomore team, Lopez has always been criticized for defense in the Nets; The same goes for Beasley, who is also a player who doesn't play with his brain; Although Lefu has a good rebound, defense has always been its weakness; Including Gasol Jr., who has not yet played, these two are both big-tonnage type of interior lines, and their foot movement is their weakness, so their ability to help defend is very problematic.

On the other hand, in the first-year team, Gibson and De Juan's defensive attitude and defensive footsteps are completely opposite the four-man street, they do not have the offensive ability of the other party, and they want to rely on defense and rebounding to survive in the NBA.

At 14 minutes and 12 seconds of the first half, it was almost time to make a substitution, Wu Huang also failed to keep up with Wei Shao's breakthrough on the defensive end this time, but Gibson delayed the opponent for him in time, giving Wu Huang time to return to the defensive position.

Wei Shao forced a missed shot under the basket, and DeJuan grabbed his sixth rebound.

"Fight back!" When Wu Huang received the basketball, he immediately turned around and went down quickly.

The first-year team launched a fast attack, and Evans, who had been tepid today, quickly followed, and even Wu Huang himself didn't expect that the person he had been calculating didn't actually have any intention of competing with him, Evans's personality was completely different from Wei Shao, he seemed too mature and selfless, or his desire for honor was far less than that of players like Wu Huang and Wei Shao.

Despite playing selflessly, Evans' fast break and cut really helped Wu Huang a lot, as long as Wu Huang can send the basketball to Evans, who cuts in, it is basically an assist.

The technical ability of the new core of the Kings is quite strange, his long-range shooting ability is not like a guard at all, it can be said that there is basically no three-point shooting ability, and the mid-to-long-range shooting is also a mess, and 60% of the scoring comes from close-range shooting and shooting under the basket, such a shooting ratio is about to catch up with James.

However, Evans' finishing ability is really good, Mayo not only suffered a big loss in height in the face of Evans, but also his speed is not as good as his opponent, and Wu Huang added an assist to himself with a long pass.

The score is 26:10, and the sophomore team is already 16 points behind, but fortunately, it was the official timeout after this attack, otherwise Ewing should be angry about whether to call a timeout?

Less than halfway through the first half of the game, Wu Huang has already scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, and everyone is speechless for a while when they look at his data, such a performance is too cruel! (To be continued.) )
