In the rookie game, whether it is an outside player or an inside player, once he starts to attack, he runs wildly on the court, but the direction of running is very chaotic, that is, he rushes forward in a straight line; Although each player works a single defense, the overall defensive end is loose and separate, either not defending or directly fouling, anyway, the coaches of the entertainment game have no requirements. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So this gives Liu Ming a lot of opportunities, there is not much defensive pressure, when Liu Ming attacks, he doesn't need to spend much effort to run out of the vacant position, Iverson's passing awareness is not to say, so far he can contribute an average of 7.5 assists per game, and it doesn't take much difficulty to pass the ball to Liu Ming at all, so the two of them simply "break through the ball" and play well.

The cameras on the sidelines saw Iverson's gorgeous dribbling, and the three points that changed direction and Liu Ming's knife also gave the camera to the dribbling masters on the sidelines, "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, and "Beetle" Tim Hardaway; There are also three-point masters Larry Bird, Reggie Miller.

And just like that, the first half was "60:53". The Eastern Conference rookies lead. Liu Ming scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals in the first half. In the East, he looks a little better than Iverson.

In the second half, at the beginning of the game, the rookies' "rough" characteristics were shown. Matt Maloney just scored a close-range small throw, and when he turned around, he dribbled twice on the counterattack, and Liu Ming was very tricky in his defensive position, sticking to Matt Maloney's slide in, neither blocking the foul nor letting him go inside, so Matt Maloney accidentally dribbled twice. But these things can only be seen clearly by connoisseurs, and for the audience, what they really want to see is the rookies' energetic four-shot dunks, the three-pointers of 100 steps and the one-on-one 'exciting' collision. It's just that the rookies on the court still make frequent mistakes, for a while Dampier defended fouls, for a while Raheem dribbled the ball alone and broke fast, and when he rushed to the basket, he found that the ball in his hand was gone, and when he turned around, Iverson held the ball and pushed the fast attack, a low-altitude pass, the ball flew directly out of the bottom line, and the player in front of him didn't expect the ball to pass so low. Iverson shook his head after the pass error, looking helpless, although the Eastern team was still leading at this time, but the Western team's counterattack momentum was fierce after the start of the second half.

Iverson made a mistake, Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity, holding the ball all the way from the right side to break into the inside, Marcus Camby's position was too forward, and his pace could not keep up with Kobe, so he could only pull his hand and foul. As a result, the pull was not crisp enough, and Kobe Bryant still relied on strong impact and waist and abdominal strength to twist the ball into the basket in the air and play it into a two-plus-one. After the goal, Kobe Bryant pretended to be 'forced' and walked around the side of the court domineeringly, and then walked to the free throw line and missed the free throw.

As the game gradually deepens to the final stage, basically the West team mainly relies on one person, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is really talented on the offensive end, he has excellent ball 'nature', unlike other rookies, once he attacks himself, it is easy to lose the ball and make mistakes. Kobe Bryant passed the ball and broke through, either scoring or making fouls, which was very lethal, which began to slowly 'show' in the second half, and there was nothing the East Army could do with him.

However, the Western team did take Iverson of the 76ers and Liu Ming of the Bulls in the East. In fact, there is still a "general" in the West who did not play tonight. Stephen Marbury didn't play because of an injury, otherwise the situation on the court would have been left to some words.

Lei Allen's performance in this game is indeed a little out of shape, and the desire to perform is not too strong, so this also gives Liu Ming a chance to perform. Unlike the Eastern backcourt, Iverson, Ray Allen, Anthony Walker, and Liu Ming are only Kobe Bryant and Marbury in the West. There is also a slightly worse Fisher, as for Stephen Nash, he is still far from "miraculous" now, and he can't help Kobe Bryant at all.

The western side is very clear, Kobe Bryant takes the ball and breaks through the basket, this strategy is really simple and crude but effective, after all, the Western troops really don't have much talent except for Kobe and Marbury. Steve Nash is still very immature, and others like Travis Knight, Matt Maloney, Rodgers, and Wright are actually ordinary rookies, but the overall rookie picks in the West are relatively low, so there is no way but to make up the list of 12 people. Of course, this is also the reason why the league divided the rookie competition into first-year and second-year teams in 2000.

As the score continued to approach, there was finally someone in the Eastern Army who was unwilling to stand up lonely, and that was Alan Iverson. The champion in 1996, when most of the game was dominated by pass distribution, finally couldn't stand Kobe's performance at the last moment, and began to use his personal ability to fight Kobe. The game finally entered the climax, Iverson began to tear apart the defense of the West with his butterfly-like dribble and lightning-fast breakthrough, the interior of the West Travis Knight is still very immature, of course, even if it is not very good at the peak, without the help of outside players, it is directly exposed to Iverson's sharp spear Iverson scored 6 points in a row at the last moment, helping the East Army always maintain a 3-point lead. And Kobe Bryant's physical strength finally fell a little short after continuous impacts, his speed began to slow down, and some brute force shots were also iron. Some of the later "second center" Dampier (quotation marks here are sarcastic) and the later "block king" Camby are obviously much more powerful in the East interior than just Raheem. And there is also Anthony Walker, the core of this NCAA championship team in the East, this forward who is now averaging 9 rebounds per game, so after Kobe Bryant "hit the iron", there was no one to "rub" him. Fart. shares".

At the last moment, the last few offenses in the West were defended, and Kobe Bryant did his best, and this game did respond to what later netizens said, "The boss tried his best, but his teammates CBA".

In the end, the situation on the eastern side is that Iverson is no longer playing with Liu Ming, and the desire for trophies is well known to passers-by. Liu Ming's ball-holding offense can also come in handy after this period of practice, but let alone attacking with the ball, Liu Ming has no ball at all in the final stage. I couldn't play without the ball, so I could only rely on steals to score, and in the last 4 minutes, I also stole a pass from Fisher to Kobe, dribbled to the front court and directly "chased three points" to hit. This goal also drove the atmosphere of the whole stadium, and the team's boss Jordan was also applauding Liu Ming.

"106:99", the rookie in the East won, in the East, Iverson 21 points, 7 assists and 2 steals. Liu Ming had 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists.

In the West, Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 35 points, but his teammates didn't give it a try.

Finally, Iverson lifted the trophy of the MVP of the rookie game to the cheers of the audience.

The game was even more impressive about his hairstyle, which was even more eye-catching than his crossover in this entertaining game, and the TV station constantly gave Iverson close-ups, showing this edgy, unique black hairstyle in front of all NBA fans. Coupled with his street-style playing skills, as well as his unruly eyes on the court, and his fierce and strong style of play, the shortest champion in history has left a deep impression on fans in the United States and even around the world through this great All-Star Game.

Liu Ming's sharp three-point and solid defense also left a deep impression on the audience.

Although this game did not "make many waves" at the time, it was later reminiscent and talked about.

Su Qun, who is 14 years old, also sighed when he saw the performance of the rookie on the court: "I really miss the 1997 rookie game now, when Kobe, Iverson, and Liu Ming's "Three Kingdoms" were really defensive, and it was very exciting. I didn't realize the greatness of the game at the time, but in retrospect, the three stars treated every game as if it were their last, a level of seriousness that is rare in history, and it turned out that their seriousness helped them become NBA superstars, and it was a great game. ”

PS: The data of this game is not so true, after all, Liu Ming was added in the middle, so don't be so serious.
