The combination of tall and strong and Faried's beautiful "air pick-up" greatly boosted the morale of the "O'Neill team" and made the Toyota Center boil.

At this time, as the core of the "Barkley team", Owen felt that he had to fight back, especially since he had just been defended by a tall and strong head-on goal.

Irving controlled the ball and advanced to the front court, the ball kept shuttling under his crotch, and his eyes glanced at the basket from time to time, but at this time, the tall and strong who defended Irving was standing a little behind, because in the tall and strong heart, this was just an exhibition game after all.

Seeing the tall and strong position, Owen did not hesitate at all, and after a few consecutive duffles, Owen chose the most secure way to attack - a step-back jumper.

With a "brush", when the tall and strong did not make any effective defensive moves, Owen easily jumped and successfully hit.

The offense of "pretty" Irving excited Charles Barkley on the sidelines, and from time to time provoked Shaq O'Neal.

"Da Zhuang, him" O'Neill yelled at Gao Da Zhuang in annoyance, in fact, there is no need for O'Neill to emphasize, although Gao Da Zhuang's attitude is not resolute in defense, but in attack Gao Da Zhuang is unambiguous.

After Beal pushed the ball to the front court, he passed the ball to the tall man, who immediately accelerated after receiving the ball, and cut inside from his flank with Owen twice in a row.

Of course, Owen stepped forward without showing weakness and stuck to the tall and strong, trying to jam his breakthrough route, and the two "hand-to-hand" fought together.

The tall dribble burst into the paint and then came to a sudden halt and used his physical and strength advantage to get past Irving. Turn around, step back, just want to shoot, the whole action is done in one go.

But just when Irving and Drummond, who was sitting on the inside, were attracted by the tall and strong shooting action, the tall and strong unexpectedly put the ball away, and with a "snap", a hit pass, the ball came directly to the hands of Faried, who cut into the basket.

With a "clang", "Half-Orc" Faried once again easily dunked under the basket.

"Good pass," Faried gestured to Tall Strong, flicking his pigtails, and two delicate passes allowed him to sweep the opponent's basket twice in a row. helped him win the cheers of the fans. The voice of the "half-orc" resounded throughout the audience.

"This guy is really violent" Even Zhai Xiaochuan, a player of the National Olympic team sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh, and the other National Olympic players on the side also nodded in agreement.

It is precisely because the team of the Rookie Challenge is formed improvised, there is less tactical cooperation, and more reflects the ability of individuals. And the technical level displayed by these peers on the court made the players of the national Olympic team a little embarrassed. And when they look at the tall and strong people who are also Chinese. His eyes were full of adoration.

As Tall and Strong and Irving began to integrate into the offense and defense on the court, the game suddenly became intense, and this group of NBA "futures" began to show their true skills.

Thompson hit a three-pointer from the outside. Davis immediately scored a strong basket, and as soon as Drummond hit a rebound, Leonard received a tall and strong pass to make a contribution on the counterattack....The game became more and more intense.

And at this time, in addition to Owen competing with Gao Dazhuang, there was another person who secretly challenged Gao Dazhuang.

With a "Peng", Lillard and Irving completed a blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, and at this time, the tall and strong immediately switched positions to stare at Lillard, who was guarding the ball.

It was the first direct conversation between the two best rookies of the year.

Tall and strong has always been firmly locked in the first place in the rookie rankings, and Lillard has also firmly pressed Davis behind him, but this does not mean that Lillard does not want to challenge the "status" of tall and strong.

Sure enough, in the face of the tall and strong defense, Lillard launched an attack at the first time.

"Smack" Lillard dribbled under his crotch, then leaned sideways on his body, leaning directly on the tall and strong body, and then Lillard leaned back and directly knocked the tall and strong away a small step.

Just as the tall and strong adjusted his center of gravity to prepare for Lillard's next move, Lillard retracted his strength, turned around, and slipped past the tall and strong wing in the blink of an eye.

"Oh" Lillard's breakthrough immediately caused the audience to exclaim, and Lillard, who broke through the defense, quickly entered the basket and picked up the basket in front of Davis, the "champion" sitting under the basket.

"Ah~" Lillard hissed after the goal, he had been suppressed by Tall Strong for too long and he needed to release, obviously scoring a goal in front of Tall Strong and Davis excited him.

In the face of the opponent's provocation, the tall and strong will of course respond.

"Pop", "Pop", "Pop" is tall and strong dribbling at the top of the three-point arc, and the defender standing in front of him is Irving, but Lillard is also eyeing him.

"Hmph, you're so excited, that's good!" Looking at the eyes of the two people full of desire to fight, the tall and strong decisively made up his mind.

With a "snap", Gao Dazhuang smashed the ball to the ground, and then an arrow was about to break through from Irving's flank, at which time Irving and Lillard hit Gao Dazhuang from both sides.

The tall man who could hold the ball suddenly stopped suddenly, and then glanced at the periphery, and Owen's footsteps also subconsciously paused at this moment.

Seizing this momentary opportunity, Gao Dazhuang suddenly changed direction and accelerated, and with a "Peng" sound, Gao Dazhuang interspersed through the narrow gap between Irving and Lillard.

The tall and strong man who went to the basket in a row, and when he faced Drummond who was defending the basket, he sent the ball to the side, and Davis, who was inserted in the back row, received the ball and jumped high.

With a "clang", Davis smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Immediately after the "good ball" goal, Davis turned around and gave the tall man a heavy high-five, and this powerful dunk responded well to Lillard's goal just now.

……

"Brush" as Leonard received a tall and strong sudden pass, and put in a three-point whistle, the score on the court became 72:75, and "O'Neal" slightly trailed the opponent by three points.

However, O'Neill's face was full of excitement, because the morale of the team was high, especially the tall and strong, which gave him a feeling of ease.

The first half of the game can be described as "speed" and "balance".

Judging from the composition of the lineup, the backfield of the "Barkley team" is strong. Not only does it have Irving, the MVP of last year's rookie game, but it also includes Lillard, an excellent rookie point guard this year, as well as Thompson of the Warriors and Walker of the Bobcats.

The "O'Neal team" lineup is more balanced, with both this year's top pick Davis on the inside, as well as Faried, who has played an eye-catching role this season, and tall and strong, Bill, Knight, etc. on the outside.

In the first half, the "Barkley team" shot 68% from the field and shot 14 of 20 three-pointers, while the "O'Neal team" also shot 60% and only shot 5 of 14 from three-point range, but that's it. "O'Neill" is still only 3 points behind their opponents.

Irving of the "Barkley Team" scored 21 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists in the first half. Lillard and Parsons each contributed 15 points.

"O'Neal" Faried's 22 points were a game-high in the game, in addition to nine rebounds, and center Davis also scored 14 points, although the tall and strong only scored 10 points and five rebounds in the first half. But he dished out a game-high 12 assists. Double-doubles were handed over at half-time.

The second half of the game began. "Barkley" continued to shock their opponents with their pace, and both Irving and Lillard were very serious about this game.

After Lillard scored a pull-up jump shot in front of Tall Zhuang after a breakaway, Irving also hit a throw-up shot in front of Tall Strong. Led the "Barkley Team" to widen the difference again.

Obviously, the fans also saw that Irving and Lillard were "hostile" to the tall and strong, and they both showed a strong interest in the MVP of the game, and hoped to use this to beat the tall and strong.

But Gao Dazhuang still played steadily, only to see a relaxed sliding step to change direction, and flashed Irving's defense, but the tall and strong who broke into the inside did not find a good offensive opportunity, the defense of the "Barkley team" contracted quickly, and its interior Drummond's position was also very good, leaving no room for Gao Dazhuang to attack at all.

The tall and calm possession of the ball slipped around the inside line and then turned out, but at this time, out of the corner of Gao Zhuang's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure wearing his own team's jersey running to the basket on the other side.

So the tall and strong suddenly held the ball in both hands and pretended to divide the ball outside, and then made a blind pass with a backhand that didn't look at people.

"Snap", a very fast horizontal pass, the tall and strong pass accurately passed to the teammate who cut in on the wing.

It was Faried, Faried's sudden air cut caught the "Barkley team" inside by surprise, "clang", and another sideways dunk, Faried slammed the ball into the basket again.

"Oh" The entire Toyota Center immediately burst into warm applause, and the DJ on the scene also shouted in that high-pitched voice: "Wonderful assist~~~ tall and strong"

In the face of the opponent's aggressiveness, Gao Dazhuang once again hit back the opponent with an assist, and Gao Dazhuang's "atypical" offensive style made Irving and Lillard extremely uncomfortable.

However, as the game progressed, under the combined offensive of the strong Irving and Lillard, the "Barkley team" always maintained a advantage of about 5 points.

At this time, there were 5 minutes left before the end of the game, and with a "cluster" sound, Lillard suddenly accelerated and dodged Beal's defense, and fearlessly faced the tall and strong who was supplementing, and rushed inside with the tall and strong.

At this time, the tall and strong moved sideways to block Lillard's breakthrough, and at the same time turned sideways to try to steal with his hands.

Lillard immediately made a pull-up to protect the ball, but after just avoiding the tall steal, he accelerated again and rushed to the basket.

"Damn" Tall and Strong, I didn't expect Lillard's desire to attack so strongly at this time, and his explosiveness was also good.

With a "Peng", Lillard forced a breakthrough from the tall and strong side, but the tall and strong who was flashed still followed closely behind Lillard.

Piercing the tall and strong defense head-on, taking advantage of the emptiness under the basket, the excited Lillard came to a low-handed layup, but the ball just shot.

With a bang, a figure struck from behind him and pressed the ball on the rebound with one palm.

"Counterattack" Lillard fixed his eyes, it was Gao Da Zhuang, after intercepting Lillard's layup in the air, Gao Da Zhuang held the ball and launched a long-distance run to the hinterland of the "Barkley team".

The tall and strong man was very fast, and soon overtook several members of the "Barkleys" until he stepped into the three-point line and was intercepted by Irving and Lillard.

However, at this time, the tall and strong suddenly made a sudden stop, and approached a powerful ground-hitting pass, and the ball went straight under Owen's crotch.

The "pop" ball was accurately passed to Faried, who was inserted at high speed behind Irving.

"Good ball" Faried did not stop after receiving the ball, jumped high with a shout, and with a "clang", Faried smashed the ball into the basket again.

40！ 20！

40 means that Faried has scored 40 points in this game, and 20 means that this ball has just been the 20th assist of the game by the tall and strong. (To be continued......)
