Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Imperial Guards with Swords
Durant lowered his head and put on a towel.
"Don't be complacent, the game isn't over yet." Durant said.
Li Zhi almost choked on drinking water, but he didn't expect Durant to forget to be competitive, and he was still thinking about MVP belonging.
But Li Zhi has already made up his mind to win the MVP, and since he is here, he can't go home empty-handed.
However, Li Zhi admires Durant in his heart, and he can always maintain a competitive heart.
If you don't have a competitive heart, you wouldn't have the four-time scoring champion and one-time MVP in your previous life.
By the way, there is also FMVP.
Li Zhi's heart moved, and asked, "Are you interested in joining forces in the future and being a warrior?" ”
Durant leaned over and asked, "You mean huddles?" ”
Li Zhi was dumbfounded, this word has appeared frequently in major media headlines this summer.
Garnett, Ray Allen and Pierce formed the "Big Three", which was caricatured by many media outlets as a huddle.
"That's right, it's a huddle!" Li Zhi said with a smile.
Li Zhi does not object to or support the huddle, but if there is a chance to huddle, why not try it?
Playing the same way, why not choose an easy way, a way to win?
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Zhi's words fell, Durant replied categorically: "Don't go, holding together is a coward's performance, I will stay here alone." ”
Here, it should be the thunder of the future, the supersonic speed now. The SuperSonics officially announced that the team will move to Oklahoma next season, so Durant didn't know whether to talk about the SuperSonics or the Thunder for a while.
Durant's words were firm, but Li Zhi had 10,000 grass beasts galloping past in his heart.
Damn, you tell me not to hold a group? You told me that you were a coward?
Li Zhi didn't believe Durant's words, and secretly despised Durant, thinking that he wouldn't come to my Golden State in the future.
In fact, Li Zhi really misunderstood Durant, and now Durant is indeed still the simple "schoolbag Du", who joined the supersonic as a list of eyes, has unlimited rights, and has a bright future, Durant has no reason to leave here.
Li Zhi sneered: "Yes, yes, that's a coward's behavior, we are still young, we should work hard and strive to be famous." However, Durant's eyes when he looked at Li Zhi completely changed, and he couldn't understand Li Zhi a little.
But it doesn't matter, I only need MVP for this game, Durant thought to himself.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Zhi and Durant did not return to the court for the time being.
Kobe Bryant and Garnett wanted to make the game as good as possible, but they also had to take care of the playing time of all the rookies. The substitutes were equally eager to perform.
The lineup fielded in the sophomore is Daniel Gibson, Ronnie Brewer, Brandon Roy, Rudy Gay and Andrea Banyani.
The lineup fielded in the first year is Juan Navarro, Belinelli, Jeff Green, Gamario Moon and Sean Williams.
The roster on the court can be described as star-studded, and many people disappeared into the NBA in the following years, or guarded the water cooler all year round, or mixed up in foreign leagues.
But don't let the gloom come from dismissing their present, they still represent the future of the NBA.
Take the situation on the field as an example, the two teams played well.
Second-year Daniel Gibson was particularly prominent, and Cavaliers boss James, who was watching the game from the sidelines, stood up several times to applaud his little brother.
James needed a helping hand too much, and Daniel Gibson's performance was undoubtedly appreciated by James.
Daniel Gibson was drafted by the Cavaliers with a second-round pick last year and began serving as James' front guard with a knife, and gradually made a name for himself.
In Game 3 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons, Gibson had his first playoff appearance. He scored nine points, including two three-pointers. He also grabbed two rebounds, a block, and had a big steal for Tyshawn Prince late in the fourth quarter. He continued his previous form in Game 4, scoring 21 points on just six shots while shooting 10-of-12 from the free-throw line.
In Game 6 of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals against the Pistons, Gibson was the star of the game. He set a new career high with 31 points on 7-of-9 shooting and 5-of-5 three-pointers. He also grabbed six rebounds and two assists.
Gibson's 31 points are the highest for a rookie in a series-defining game in the playoffs since Magic Johnson led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 42-point game in the 1980 Finals. After winning the game 98-82, Gibson and the Cavaliers reached the Finals for the first time in franchise history.
Gibson is using his performance to show everyone that he can be a good helper for James, a qualified guard with a sword.
In the second quarter of the game, Gibson used his accurate three-pointer to tell fans what a marksman is.
Gibson first steals Jeff Green himself and then hits his first three-pointer.
At 10 minutes and 15 seconds in the second quarter, he received another pass from Navarro and hit a three-pointer, and then Gibson turned on his marksman mode, hitting 5 three-pointers in a row, hitting a total of 7 three-pointers in the second quarter, and the 21-point performance in a single quarter exploded.
The second quarter was completely one-sided under Gibson, a player who had proven himself in the playoffs and scored with great ease against a defense of the All-Star Game's calibre.
On the other hand, in the first grade, point guard Navarro seriously released water, faced Grizzlies teammate Rudy Gay, and easily let Guy break through twice, and it seems that the two have made some kind of agreement.
Jeff Green played vigorously, scored a lot of points, and scored 10 points in the second quarter, but the small forward position was completely blown out by Rudy Gay.
The most serious is the first grade insider, Sean Williams is completely like a confused child.
Sean Williams is well-known to domestic fans in his previous life In 2009, during the 3-on-3 training within the Nets, Yi Jianlian had to go to the hospital for treatment because he was hit in the upper part of the lip by Sheehan Williams' elbow, and his wound was stitched up by doctors as many as 50 stitches due to damage to the lip muscles.
The off-court, grumpy "bad boy" was completely lost in the second-year offense, and he didn't grab a few rebounds.
At the end of the second quarter, the second grade overtook the first grade 75-70, and with the lead of the first grade in the first quarter, the first grade was reversed by as many as 15 points in the second quarter.
Kobe's face is not very good-looking, Sai Qiang just "said ruthlessly" to Garnett, and now he is blown up, which makes the black mamba feel ashamed, and his face hurts hotly.
At halftime, Barkley said: "The first-year substitute is really bad, and it's not on the same level as the starters. The second-year Gibson had a great performance, and if no one from the two teams stepped up in the second half, Gibson would have been the MVP. ”
Gibson's 23 points were the highest score on the court, followed by Brandon Roy with 18 and Lee with 15.
Based on the rules of the All-Star Rookie Game over the years, Gibson now clearly has a greater advantage.
