Chapter 071: Rookie Game MVP

"Hey, guys, you can't fight like this, you're going to lose!" Scola's face was frustrated, with two minutes to go and 11 points behind in the sophomores, if nothing else, it was a sure thing that they would be a specialist.

He could already imagine how the media would make fun of them after the game, "In the first- and second-year games held in the NBA yesterday, the second-year team finally lost to the first-year rookies for the first time after six consecutive wins. In this game, the sophomores looked more like rookies in the face of the Big Apple-dominated three-point rain, and let's bless the rookies of the class of '08 who proved their worth with this victory. ”

Scola, who is thriving in the Rockets, doesn't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame by the unscrupulous media, so he wants to fight back, even if there is not much time, but there is still hope for everything!

"Fight back, get serious, it's not an exhibition game anymore, it's a game, we can't lose!" Durant said firmly that as a sophomore leader, he has to shoulder the responsibility of leading the counterattack at this critical time.

"What about Lee's shot, he's already shooting crazy today, and it's impossible to limit his scoring if he doesn't foul!" Horford looked worried, the game was majestic, but he also lost a lot of face, he didn't want to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat in the end, which seemed too embarrassing to him.

Everyone wants to have a special case, but today's special case is clearly not for sophomores.

"Then foul! No matter how much, if you lose, it will be even more humiliating! If you foul, you can at least have a chance to win! "Durant was going to fight back, and he knew that if he used foul tactics and ended up losing, it would be even more humiliating. But now it seemed that there was no better way than that, and he had to do it for the sake of victory.

"Well, everyone work hard, if you don't want to be embarrassed, kill those rookies! Remember, we've been winning streaks for 6 years and we can't afford to lose! "As the brains of the team, Starkey is very decisive, and he was at a clear disadvantage today against the top pick, Rose, and like Horford, he didn't want to lose the ball at the same time.

After a short discussion, the second-year players made a strategy, they had to fight for glory, and in the last two minutes, with an 11-point difference, they were confident that they could do it.

"Everyone, be careful, strengthen your defense, those guys in the second grade are going to jump off the wall!" As the core figure of the first-year side, after seeing the opponent's momentum, Li Chen naturally reminded his teammates to deal with it carefully.

"Ha, Cruz, you're so bad! The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, is this an oriental proverb, it's really quite vivid! "Oj Mayo was smiling a lot, and even though he didn't play well in this game, it would be a good result if he could be one of the people who made history.

"Well, it means that those old birds in the second year are in a hurry, and they may burst out with unimaginable potential!" Li Chen is also very relaxed, the situation in the first year is very good, victory is in sight, as long as they hold for two minutes, then they can make history.

"Come on, guys, cheer up, we're going to hold on!" Li Chen clapped his hands and gave his teammates the final mobilization, they had to go all out to deal with the second-year Jedi counterattack.

Durant, who came back from the pause, looked very excited, maybe it was the tense situation that made him have to make himself excited, after taking the ball, he stepped into the interior line, in the face of Li Chen's tough defense, Adu simply resisted the power from his arm, shook his wrist slightly, and the basketball licked the basket thrillingly and slid in.

Drip! The referee blew the whistle, and Li Chen had a slight thug in the goal just now, and the NBA professional referees who knew how to make the game more exciting were very wise to judge the big apple for a foul, and Durant added a free throw.

With the addition of free throws, there is still an 8-point gap in the second grade, and the point difference that I just felt out of reach suddenly felt a lot closer after such an attack, and within ten points and outside ten points are two completely different feelings.

It's only 8 points, and you can fight back in 3 rounds! Durant's goal boosted the morale of the sophomore team, and the offense only took 13 seconds, and there was 1 minute and 50 seconds left in the game, so there was plenty of time left for the sophomore to chase the score, but the top priority was to prevent the rookies from attacking next.

OJ Mayo received the ball, and with his extraordinary physical fitness, he was stunned to carry Thaddeus Young, who was ten centimeters taller than him, and squeezed into the inside, but the latter's open hands made it impossible for Mayo to see a good shooting opportunity, and in desperation, he chose to pass back to Beasley, who was ambushed near the baseline.

The Heat forward has been very active since performing that amazing dunk, and this time it was the same, taking the ball and shooting, duffling a shot and stepping into the three-second zone, Horford was too entangled in Lopez to take care of it, and Beasley thought he saw an opportunity.

Grab the ball, jump, he wants to be one more majestic before the end of the game, but unfortunately, the limelight is not so good, there is a risk on the inside, and the dunk needs to be cautious.

Durant rushed out of nowhere, and after seeing Beasley's dunk intentions, Adu, who has been criticized for physical confrontation, rarely chose to face the challenge this time, and as soon as his calf was forced, he jumped up like a spring.

With his impressive reach and excellent bounce, Adu in the air looks like an ape leaping between the branches of a tree. The reason why it's not a gorilla is because Durant isn't strong enough, but that's enough.

Syllable! Durant flew out from the side like a little emperor possessed, and he firmly pinned the basketball in Beasley's hand to the rebound, and Beasley's dunk plan suddenly turned into a floating cloud.

This is also his own death, originally there was not so much to do with the jump shot directly after shaking off Scola, but this guy had to show the art of dunking, so he had the tragedy of being covered later. In this regard, we can only say that the sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived!

The second-year performance didn't end there, because Durant's action was relatively big, and the first-year rookies mistakenly thought the ball was a foul, so they didn't try their best to scramble for rebounds. But here's the problem, the referee didn't blow the whistle at all, that is, the ball is not dead, and whoever grabs the ball is who's who.

The sophomore, who had an extra year of experience, seized the opportunity, and while the rookies were still stunned by Durant's pegboard, Scola grabbed the basketball that fell off the rebound, and Thaddeus Young quickly turned around and ran towards the opponent's half.

The Argentine is not only flashy with his feet, but also has a hand in passing, especially when the opponent's half is empty except for Thaddeus Young, and there is no reason why he should concede.

Thaddeus Young, who received the pass, fulfilled Beasley's last wish. Okay, don't you want to dunk, then I'll dunk one for you to see. With that in mind, Thaddeus Young crossed the free-throw line and rose to the ground, followed by a windmill dunk that ignited the excitement of the crowd.

Wow! The scene was once again in joy, originally they all thought that this game was like this, the second grade team finally fell under the rain of three points of the big apple, but suddenly they found that the lagging side did not seem to intend to give up, and the counterattack in a desperate situation played decisively and beautifully, and their intuition told them that this game was still interesting.

"There are only six points left!" Durant muttered to himself, because of his excellent play in these two rounds, the sophomore team stubbornly pressed the score closer, but this is not enough, basketball is only about winning or losing, regardless of the point difference, losing by 10 points is a loss, and losing by 1 point is also a loss.

"Damn", unlike Durant, Li Chen looked very depressed, and the score difference that seemed to be safe was suddenly cut by half, which made him feel aggrieved when he swore to keep his advantage.

Big Apple desperately needed to soothe his grievances by scoring, so he reached out for the ball, and his teammates believed in his ability and handed the ball over decisively.

Because of his previous good feel, Li Chen once again chose to play with his back to his back. The feel may be stronger because of the fighting spirit, but the physical fitness will not. Even though he vowed 10,000 times in his heart to resist the opponent's hard squeeze, Durant, who lacked tonnage, obviously failed. Seeing that his opponent was squeezed out of a little distance by himself, Li Chen planned to jump back and shoot immediately.

"I still can't help it"! Seeing that Durant was repeatedly eaten by his own tricks, Li Chen felt very relieved, and the continuous rise in strength made his back singles stronger and stronger, especially in the face of a thin player like Durant.

But this time it was unexpected, Durant ignored the opponent's stunned eyes, and very decisively dragged back Li Chen, who had already jumped, and the latter's shooting intention of course also failed.

"Well, why did you foul, man, it's just an exhibition match!" Li Chen was a little depressed, his shot that was determined to win was ruined, and it was destroyed by fouls, which made him unable to understand why Durant, who had been holding back without fouls for a game, couldn't hold it back until now!

The person didn't show much embarrassment, Adu said to the opponent very calmly, "Foul, it's normal, don't you get fouled many times every game, why are you so surprised now!" ”

"It's a rookie challenge, and in more detail, it's just an exhibition match!" Li Chen once again emphasized to his opponent that this is an exhibition match, and your foul will be despised!

Durant behaved very casually, "Exhibition game! The show is over, it's time to do it for real, I have no intention of losing! ”

The opponent's inviolability made Li Chen very helpless, and the subsequent two free throws made him shattered, looking at the snickering faces of the second-year team players, he had the urge to grab the group of people opposite and beat him up.

"Cruz, we still have a six-point advantage, and the victory is ours after all!" Rose saw the frustration on his teammate's face because he missed both free throws, and he kindly persuaded him.

Li Chen nodded, "Now I have discovered that the reason why second-year students have been able to win for 6 consecutive years is not only because of experience, but also because they are shameless enough to do anything to win!" After teasing his opponent very badly, Li Chen said very decisively, "Okay, I want to say, they are determined to lose now!" ”

Eh, OJ Mayo couldn't bear to look sideways, this thinking jumped quickly, he really wanted to ask Li Chen, is there any inevitable connection between the opponent's shamelessness and their loss?

However, Mayo's idea was unfortunately stillborn, because the opponent attacked again, and with 59 seconds left in the game, the sophomore team was still 6 points behind!

It's Durant again, he has scored 31 points today, but this is not the end, he is still moving higher, Li Chen's 42 points are like a mountain in front of him, Durant doesn't want to lose to his opponent, one is the list in 07, the other is a non-draft player in 08, the huge contrast between the two makes Durant always unwilling to admit the failure of the opening.

Swish! Hit three points again, Durant passed the ball to Horford on the inside, who received the ball and then fell back, just at the moment when Li Chen turned his head, Durant had seized this opportunity to shoot, 37 seconds, the gap was only 3 points.

Oh! The audience was excited, and sure enough, the sophomores were not easy to beat, and at the most critical moment, their talent finally exploded, and Durant was the most dazzling among them.

Hehe! Unlike the cheers on the second-year team, Li Chen, who was an opponent, didn't have a good impression of Durant's goal, he just chuckled twice.

Signaling Lopez to serve quickly, Li Chen seems to have his own plans.

It seemed that he lazily took the ball across the half court, and the time had passed 8 seconds, and it was obvious that he was pressing the time, but pressing the time was not a foul, and Durant had no other way but to despise it. He didn't dare to rush forward to steal, he couldn't carry the opponent in the first place, and it would be tragic if he rushed forward and was squeezed out of the way by the opponent.

The two stared at each other, one leisurely dribbling the ball, the other nervously spreading his hands and trying to defend, and the seemingly most precious time passed quietly in this confrontation.

With 8 seconds left in the offensive time, Li Chen suddenly accelerated and ran along the three-point line to the bottom.

Durant followed closely, although in his opinion, the other party was running to a dead end, but Li Chen's amazing touch in this game made him dare not relax a little.

It was almost the end, Li Chen was in Durant's surprise, Leng is horizontal movement jumped up and back, threw the ball in an almost negative angle direction, and the basketball flew past Adu's fingertips.

Can this goal be scored? Just kidding! Obviously, Durant believes that Li Chen's ball will not be scored, because it is too difficult, drift shooting, the name is very good, it is like a special shooting skill, but for an insider like Durant, this shooting method is obviously betting on luck.

God tells the world that today's big apple is lucky, and the negative angle shot can also be scored, and the second-grade team feels completely powerless, how to play, people just throw a ball and score, and their side has to work hard to seize the opportunity to fight back, the gap is too big.

The party Li Chen didn't know what was going on, he just suddenly got into his head, and he felt that he had no chance, so he simply gambled, but the ball went in very shitty, and in this regard, he could only sigh his shit luck and God's possession!

Where the magic happens! Li Chen dragged an NBA advertising slogan very stinkyly, which made Mayo, who had been watching nearby, very helpless, can this guy be shameless, everyone knows that this is a balloon!

After the bizarre three-point shot, the second grade completely gave up resistance, and there was still a 6-point gap in 14 seconds, and there was really no chance now! Unlike the regular season, rookie Sai Kemu had a few pauses, and it was impossible to save time by serving in the middle line!

45 points, 5 assists and 6 rebounds! Li Chen won the MVP of the rookie game with a record high score, and the fans of the Big Apple sighed and got off to a good start!!

(Another 4,000-plus-word long chapter, which could have been expanded into two chapters, seems to be a bit of a delay...... )
