Chapter 90: Stern's call
The sophomore team, who found out about this, immediately stopped doing so, but by this time Wang had already taken advantage of their shark slashing opportunity to score 8 points from a free throw. Coupled with the 14 points he scored before, before the third quarter was over, Wang Cannon had already scored 22 points, as well as 15 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 steals, and completely surpassed Wall.
"This All-Star Rookie Challenge is really weird to watch." Seeing now, even the well-informed Barkley couldn't help but shake his head, "Pushing teammates on the court, a big forward controls the ball and breaks fast, cutting sharks, and now Wang Cannon's interior line of an offensive scum actually scored 22 points in the third quarter, I really can't understand whether the world is progressing too fast, or I am already behind."
"But!" Barkley immediately gloated, "Don't forget one thing, no matter what, Wang Cannon has been on the court for more than 15 minutes. ”
O'Neill's face suddenly darkened, in fact, his face was already dark.
"Don't worry, I will keep my promise!" O'Neill said righteously, in fact, even if he wanted to, it was impossible for him to repay the debt, boasting in front of the audience all over the world, if he temporarily repented, O'Neal would be discredited.
"Alright, let's get back to the game," Barkley smiled, and Smith laughed tacitly.
The game on the court continued, seeing that Wang Cannon had already scored 20+10, Wall immediately couldn't sit still, and hurried to the court to make amends, after all, he was a point guard, and Wall, who controlled the ball, had a very big advantage over Wang Cannon, who could only rely on grabbing rebounds and then scoring.
But as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and your own Wall, who is in a hurry to show Xiàn after playing, obviously doesn't take the sophomore team too seriously, although he has been pressed and beaten by the first-grade team, but the bad guy is also a player who has been in the league for a season and a half, how can he be bullied back and forth by you as a rookie?
One king cannon is enough, and you are here too?
Thunder's block maniac Ibaka has been holding back the fire in his heart, and he has played against Wang Cannon a lot of times in this game, but instead of getting a few caps of King Cannon, he was also caught by Wang Cannon at the opportunity.
These two are currently in the top five players on the block list, but Ibaka, who averages 2.4 blocks per game, is far less dazzling than Wang Cannon, who averages 5 blocks per game.
At this moment, seeing that Wall dared to rush into the inner line like Wang Cannon, Ibaka's anger rushed up.
"I can't clean up Wang Cannon, and I can't clean you up?"
Ibaka had two brushes, and he didn't reveal his intention to block Wall at the first time, but waited until Wall jumped up and was ready to go to the basket before he burst out of the corner and gave Wall a top hat.
But what Ibaka didn't expect was that his block had just been sent, and a chubby guy came out of nowhere, squeezing himself away with his body still in the air and grabbing the rebound.
"King Cannon?" Wall turned his head and saw that it was Wang Cannon, and suddenly his brain couldn't turn around. "Holy, isn't it? This guy actually pounced on his teammates to limit me? ”
Wall was obviously overthinking, but he didn't have time to think about it anymore, because he immediately saw Wang Cannon jumping with his hands on the basketball.
"Holy!" Those two words had just come to Wall's mind, and Wang Cannon had already completed a two-handed dunk on his head.
Wall didn't have time to react at all, and immediately became the background under Wang's cannon dunk.
At this moment, Wall felt a blackness in front of him, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn! Do you still have a buckle for your teammates? ”
"Click, click!" The reporters sitting on the sidelines kept pressing the shutter to add insult to injury.
"Wang Cannon, this game is a good one." Seeing this, Barkley immediately gloated, "Poor Wall, I don't know how to become the background yet." ”
The second-grade team and the first-year team were very focused on Wang Cannon on the field because of Stoudemire and Anthony, but they forgot to collude, and both teams were each against each other, but Wang Cannon had a chance.
In fact, up to now, Wang Cannon's shooting rate is not high, the shooting rate is only about 39 percent, and the free throw shooting rate is only 45 percent, but such a low shooting rate, but he can still score 24 points in the All-Star game, and his number of rebounds is not much, at this time the third quarter is almost over, Wang Cannon's rebounds are only 15, this value is not high, at least for Wang Cannon, this value is not high.
But when these two numbers are added together, 24 points and 15 rebounds have already blown up all the players present.
Wall's heart was too eager to catch up with Wang Cannon, and the director played averagely, and so far he has only 18 points and 17 assists. Although 17 assists has equaled Paul's Rookie Challenge assist record, it is still a bit difficult to win the MVP with this.
The third quarter ended quickly, Wang used the last bit of time to grab two more rebounds, but he didn't finish the offense, and Wall finally raised his score to 20.
"Looking at this momentum, the MVP of this rookie challenge is about to be produced from the two of Wall, Wang Cannon." Smith said, looking at the technical stats. "There's still a quarter left in the game, and I don't know which of them will laugh at the end."
"The situation of the first-grade team is very strange now, Wang Cannon and Wall basically split all the ball equally, as long as the second-grade team can hit the shot, then Wall can get the ball, and if the second-year team can't hit, then Wang Cannon can often grab the rebound and attack by himself."
"A quirky game, a weird player." O'Neal made such a simple evaluation of Wang Cannon, "It's the first time I've seen such a game on All-Star Weekend, Wang Cannon's has not been a bad teammate through the ball for a long time, and he has to say that he is very unique!" Maybe he's doing it to get the MVP, but it's conceivable that there's going to be a lot of criticism of him after the game. ”
As O'Neill said, before the game was over, Wang Cannon had already been criticized.
"Wang Cannon, it's not right for you to do this! You have to work with your teammates on the court, this is an all-star arena, not a violin solo! Budenholzer began to criticize Wang's style of play off the court.
Wang Cannon pouted secretly, not only? Not only with his scumbag's offensive ability, how can he compete with Wall for MVP?
Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Dacang was not stupid enough to collide with the head coach at such a time.
"I'm sorry coach, I know, I won't play like this in the next quarter." Wang Dacang looked very sincere, and whoever saw it would think that he had really admitted his mistake.
Budenholzer was very satisfied with the attitude of the king cannon. But Stoudemire and Wall's faces were not very good-looking.
"Still playing?" Wall was about to cry when he heard this, and his idea now was very simple, that is, Wang Cannon could roll as far as he could, and never appear in the arena again.
Wall didn't know that Budenhozer also had a bitterness that he couldn't say.
The current situation is indeed very unsuitable for Wang Cannon to continue to put on the court, the entire All-Star Rookie Challenge, including the second-year team, everyone on the first-year team, almost no one has a good impression of Wang Cannon, Wang Cannon has offended almost everyone, including the assistant coaches of the second-year team and the first-year team, Anthony, Stoudemire.
But Budenhozer received a phone call, a call from Stern.
As the head coach, Budenhozer didn't take the phone during the game, but a referee Jue took a phone and handed it to him, and it turned out to be Stern!
On the phone, although Stern did not make it clear, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious, that is, to let Wang Cannon play for a while, if he can get the MVP, it would be the best.
Stern has long wanted to open up the Chinese market more, which Budenholzer knows very well, a Yao Ming is not enough to fully develop the Chinese market, after all, Yao Ming as a center forward, the role in the game is very, very important, but both the ornamental and the team's results are very unsatisfactory, coupled with the continuous injuries in recent years, Stern has been eager to find a new Chinese player as Yao Ming's successor.
At this time, the king cannon suddenly came out, didn't this just hit the muzzle?
If Wang Dacang can win the MVP of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, and then the Heat can win the championship in the playoffs, Wang Dacang will become the first person in China's history to create a zào, and will definitely set off a new wave of enthusiasm for the NBA in China.
Of course, this qiē needs Wang Dacang to compete for his own energy, according to the current situation, Wang Dacang is very competitive.
Although Budenhozer is an assistant coach of the Spurs and does not belong to Stern's subordinates, but Stern personally called, how dare Budenhozer not stop? Even if Stoudemire kept nagging in his ear, he had to put Wang back on the court again at the start of the fourth quarter.
Wang Cannon, who returned to the court, really didn't attack by himself, every time he grabbed a rebound, he obediently handed the ball to Wall, looking dutiful, but Wall didn't think so, on the contrary, every time Wang Cannon handed the ball to him, he felt extra pressure.
"Wang Cannon grabbed the rebound again! How many rebounds has he ever made? Oh my God, he's got 24 rebounds, and his partner Cousins hasn't had a rebound for a long time, and it's only the beginning of the fourth quarter. ”
