Patin took the ball and, with a charming smile on his face, quickly advanced to the front court. In the face of Martin's casual defense, he shook his shoulders and made a change of direction to attract Martin to shake along, and then pulled his right hand back, slapped the ball past Martin, and strode into the penalty area.

Allen came up to make up for the defense, Patin passed the ball quickly, Hinrich made a jumper from outside the three-point line, and Allen could only defend back. At this time, Hinrich passed the ball back, Patin got the ball into the box and took off, Milicic stuck Howard, leaving plenty of space for Pattin.

Turning slightly, holding the ball behind his head with both hands, Patin screamed angrily and smashed the ball into the hoop with a wave of his arm.

A high-pitched beep sounded, the rebounds on both sides of the court turned red, and after a total of 40 minutes of battle between the two halves, the 2005 All-Star Rookie Challenge ended. The score was finally fixed at 152:138, and the defensive quality of both sides today was average, and the players showed their ability on the offensive end, and the dunks broke through continuously.

Intense applause rang out, and fans stood up and waited for the final event to present the Rookie Challenge MVP.

The first- and second-year stars hugged and laughed, and it was no surprise that in a few years' time, they would be the pillars of their respective teams and lead the way in MLS.

NBA Executive Vice President Stu. Jackson walked onto the court with a clapped ovation, flanked by a cheerleader girl with the rookie game MVP trophy in his hand.

Padding and his second-year teammates high-fived each other to thank them for their cooperation today, except for Anthony and Bosh, who were a little distraught, and everyone else had a smile on their faces.

Patin played 35 minutes on the court today, scoring 23 points on 9-of-16 shots, plus a full 20 assists in hand! Half of the sophomore's points were directly related to Pattin, and his 20 assists also set an NBA Rookie Challenge record.

In addition, the highest score in the game was Martin, today Martin was very excited, shot accurately, scored 40 points in a row, if the first year wins, then the MVP is his. Unmarked, Martin's shooting ability finally showed, and he also set a record of seven three-point shots, and every time he got the ball from beyond the three-point line, the fans stood up and started cheering 'Killer King'.

Jordan, who came to the scene to watch the game, couldn't close his mouth, and he said to the special guest next to him, Magic Johnson: "Evan, did you say that this guy has grown up to be Reggie. Miller's potential? I'm very optimistic about him. Oh, forget it, you still don't answer, I'll know by looking at your expression, but this kid has a bright future, even if it doesn't reach Reggie's height, that's the next Ray. Alan. ”

"Ray. Is Allen much worse than Reggie? The magician wondered.

James and Wade's performances are not in high spirits, they have to save their energy to participate in the All-Star Game the day after tomorrow, and today's stage is not for the two of them. Milicic and Patin played well, scoring 32 points in a row, and then Wajben yelled in the stands to 'Dacko take it easy'.

Jackson and other fans were less vocal, he took the microphone and smiled: "Thank you dear fans for coming to cheer for our game, thank our lads for contributing such a wonderful game, to be honest, I think there must be a lot of fans in front of the TV at this time, they missed an opportunity to witness the legend on the spot, these lads created a legend." Of course, one of them is the King of Legends, tell me, dear fellows, who is he? ”

After all, this is at the Time Warner Center, or Charlotte has more fans, and countless voices have come together into two words and one sentence: "MVP, Padding!" MVP, Paddy! MVP, Paddy! ”

Jackson was smiling and nodding his head to the shouts of the fans. Patin hugged Milicic beside him, raised his right arm into a fist, and strode to the middle of the pitch, smiling brightly.

"Yes, our dear MVP is none other than the guard from the great Charlotte Bobcats, Joseph. Padding! Jackson beckoned Padin to his side and shouted, "Let's give the call to this lucky lad, who deserves to be the prince tonight!" ”

Wabben stood up and waved his hand, howling vigorously, as if he had received the honor.

"You're too excited, aren't you?" Nash said admiringly, "Ben, you are such a good boss, you work so hard for your brothers. ”

Huaben laughed and said, "Really? My strengths are being seen again. However, he is not my subordinate, he is my eldest brother! ”

Cheryl didn't care what Hua Ben said at this time, her pretty face flushed with excitement, shook Pattin's jersey and looked at the court on tiptoe, and shouted: "Brother, what basketball owes you, I made it up for you today." ”

Patin stood in the middle of the court, his handsome face with a look of pride, and with a force of his arm, he lifted the Rookie Crystal Trophy high above his head. In the Time Warner Center, there was a tsunami of cheers and applause.

Looking around at the fans who were crazy about him, Patin suddenly thought of that night in middle school, when he watched one of Jordan's games in front of the TV. At that time, because of a leg injury, he left his beloved green field, which was the lowest point in his life. After that game, it dawned on Patin that all along, his stage had never been the intoxicating lawn, but the basketball court. From that day on, in a group of children playing football, an outlier appeared slapping basketball.

Now, that ridiculed outlier stands on the highest stage of world basketball. At this moment, reign on the earth!

After the rookie game, Huaben specially invited Pading and other rookies, and for the game, the players did not eat, but ate some energy bars, so the players would add dinner and eat supper after the game.

Waben looked at the angular crystal trophy and smiled: "This little guy is good, it's the first decent trophy in the history of our Bobcats, Padding, you have done a miracle, I'll tell Michael and Bernie when I go back, this has to reward you extra." ”

Patin has always been humble, saying, "Boss, the rookie game trophy is nothing, you have to win the MVP trophy of the All-Star Game, the MVP trophy of the regular season and the Russell Cup, and that's a Bobcats miracle." ”

Holding the trophy in his hand and a group of fierce generals under his hands, Hua Ben was arrogant at this time, patted the table and shouted: "Okay, I'll have a grand slam this season, three MVPs, wait and see, Lao Tzu will take you to win the championship this season!" ”

"Boss is brave!" Iguodala puffed out her cheeks and then turned her head to push Milicic away, "Hey, this is my lobster, you can't rob me!" ”

"Give me a drink, damn it, I'm dying of thirst."

"This steak is really good, in the future, I will sign a big contract to invite this chef back and eat it every day."

"Boss, why don't you eat it? It tastes good, here's shrimp ball soup, have a bowl? ”

Hua Ben's face was sluggish, Nima, Lao Tzu was so proud and daring to love just now that it was sent to the dog? Don't you know what it means to cooperate and what it means to be praised?

Wajben brought the Bobcats up and down to cheer up Padding, and Patin was cheered by a large number of fans, firstly because he had accumulated a lot of popularity in yesterday's rookie game MVP, and secondly, he was the second most popular player on the Bobcats.

Reggie. Miller's sister Cheryl. Miller grabbed Patin and asked, "Little one, I heard you have a sister with the same name as me?" ”

With a gentle smile on his face, Patin said, "Not only is it the same name as you, but it is as attractive as you, ma'am." ”
