The game was played on the afternoon of the 9th, and for NBA players who always play in the evening, the time difference was something to overcome.

Wu Di is one of nine members of the first-year team, and except for Ginobili and him, the other seven are all native American rookies. In terms of position, Williams, Cavaliers guard Wagner, Ginobili and Wu Di form the guard line, which is not a small number for a nine-man team.

Therefore, how much playing time can be grabbed is a test for Wu Di.

The head coach of the first-year rookie team is Carton Fitzsimmons, and the assistant coach is former NBA player Hugh Dieson. Wu Di was not familiar with these two people, but in the two days of rookie training, he already had a certain understanding of the two.

Wu Di felt that neither Caton nor Hugh Dyson particularly liked him, and he felt that these two guys probably wouldn't let him play too early.

After a burst of introductions and cheers, the game began.

Sure enough, Wu Di's name was not included in the starters sent by Caton, so Wu Di could only sit on the cold bench.

The first-year team started Amaresta de Meyer, Nene Hilario, Karen Butler, Williams and Ginobili.

While the second-year starters were Arenas, Gasol, Richardson, Chandler and Jefferson.

The strength of the two sides is fairly even, so today, everyone is looking forward to who will emerge victorious.

On the field, it is often determined that who is in good shape and whose basket is accurate. Especially in this kind of performance game, whoever opens the basket first will naturally have the advantage first to cause some pressure on the opponent.

First-year Butler, Ginobili and Williams are all players who are more accurate at the basket, especially on three-point shooting, while Stoudemire on the inside also has some mid-range ability. But in this kind of exhibition game, Stoudemire's role is simply to run all over the court and then find a few nice dunks.

The rhythm of the two sides was very fast, and after the end of the game, neither side had a situation of falling into position, and even Xiao Si couldn't help but throw a three-point shot.

Arenas didn't start the game very well, but the sophomore team played well with the interior attack.

On the first-year team, the players' feel is only average, and it is clear that they are trying to find the feel quickly.

The first timeout came almost 10 minutes into the game, with the managers of both sides merely making a substitution.

Wu Di naturally knows the nature of the rookie game, this is the competition of who feels good and whose basket is accurate, so thinking of his good feel today, Wu Di also wants to perform on the court.

Caton replaced all four people sitting on the field, so the lineup on the field became Boozer, Gooden, Wagner, Wu Di and Ginobili, who were in good shape.

The score was 30:36.

The first-year team trailed by 6 points.

Wu Di is on the field!

Under a reminder from the scene, fans looked forward to what kind of performance this Chinese with excellent three-point shooting could perform on today's court?

"I'm willing to bet Wu will be able to make at least five or more three-pointers today." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

TNT/ESPN and Rogers Sports Network broadcast live to the United States at the same time, and as TNT's commentator, Smith is still here, and there is a guy that fans want to see the most.

Barkley seems to be in a good mood today, making people feel that he has come out of the shadow of kissing the ass again on the national live broadcast in the United States a few days ago.

"Kenny, you look down on Wu too much, you have to know that in today's game, a game without defensive intensity, Wu Di should at least throw in 7 or 8 three-pointers, and then get a 30+, which is worthy of his crosshairs. Hey, Kenny, don't tell me you're still a fan of him, you obviously didn't do enough today. ”

Smith smiled slightly, he didn't expect that Barkley would always learn to counter his army now.

"Wu Di's three-point shooting rate this season is nearly 38%, which is not enough for his breakthrough ability, so you can't guarantee that he can continue to score, after all, no one can rely on shooting to score all the time."

"He deserves 36 points or higher, you know, today is a good opportunity, obviously he should prove himself."

"Hey, Charles, I think we should talk more about the others, it seems that this little guy is not the protagonist today."

In today's game, it was Stoudemire and Richardson of the sophomore team who really got the attention. Richardson was the MVP of last year's rookie game, and this year he also participated in the slam dunk contest and became a high-profile one. As for Xiao Si, he said in an interview that the best rookie should not be Yao Ming, which also implies to a certain extent that he is the best player in 02.

However, Butler, whom Stodmire praised before the game, did not do well today, but made Ginobili the protagonist.

"Manu, I think I deserve more of a shot."

On the first offense, Ginobili hit a three-point shot, but Wu Di thought he was in a better position, so he couldn't help but complain to Ginobili.

"Hey, Wu, I can also shoot this ball. You should know that today is the day of the crosshair, and I will not let go of this opportunity. ”

"Well, hell, I wish Caton had replaced you with him."

Wu Di stopped talking to him and quickly fell into a defensive position.

In the lineup on the field, Wu Di played the No. 3 position, and he was naturally Richardson.

Richardson has scored 12 points, his hand is hot, and it seems that he simply doesn't bother to look at Wu Di.

"He's a proud fellow too."

Wu Di thought to himself.

However, it is clear that Wu Di wants to be in the limelight today, and Richardson is clearly a good choice.

For Richardson, the analysis of the outside world is not as good as the perfect system, Wu Di used the player evaluation to evaluate him, what Wu Di didn't expect was that this time it took 4 perfect points.

Richardson: Blue player card, Power Rating: 114 (80 offense, 34 defense), Potential: 56 (medium), Body Rating: 429 (5 stars), Reb: 58, Organization: 72.

Talent attributes: Slam Dunk King (Advanced), Scorer (Intermediate).

Wu Di was surprised that Richardson was actually a blue player.

After opening the perfect evaluation, Wu Di once evaluated Oakley and Tyronn Lue, Oakley is a white player card with a combat power value of only 48, while Tyronn Lue is a green player card with a combat power value of 88.

Wu Di's current combat power rating is 52, and he is also a green player card. Obviously, players below 50 are white, power scores above 50 are green, and those above 100 are blue.

Tyronn Lue has a talent for speed, and today, this Richardson actually has 2 talents, which made Wu Di a little surprised.

Although I don't know if other players in Lu Dao are also talented, considering his good potential, Wu Di understands that Richardson will have good achievements in the future.

According to the results of the review, Richardson has a deep knack for dunks and is good at scoring, although his defense doesn't seem to be very good.

But this rookie game is more about who has a good offense, so Richardson will definitely be in the limelight today, as for the slam dunk contest in a few hours? Wu Di feels that if he can have a high-level dunk talent, Richardson's winning face should not be small. Of course, Wu Di didn't know about the situation of the other people, so he didn't dare to jump to conclusions.

Wu Di's strength may be weak, but his performance on the court is definitely very good, on the one hand, it is related to his personal attacking style, and on the other hand, it is related to Wu Di's luck.

Even Wu Di himself feels that since he got a perfect life, his luck on the court is really very good.

Richardson's offense is mostly based on breakaway dunks, and if he gets a good opportunity, usually first-year players don't go to defense.

Including Wu Di, in the matchup, if Richardson breaks through, he will give up the defense and let the opponent score, after all, this is the rookie game.

"Huh~"

The basketball slid into the hoop, and it was the first shot of the game that Wu Di hit.

Surprisingly, the goal was not three, but two.

Wu Di started his scoring with a mid-range shot.

In the first three attempts, none of the three three-point shots were missed, which surprised Wu Di, who always felt that his three-point shooting was always a little bit worse.

Considering his form, Wu Di temporarily gave up throwing three-pointers, and he chose to try other ways to score.

The success of trying to shoot made Wu Di extremely excited.

"I didn't expect Wu Di to start his scoring with a mid-range shot." Kenny Smith smiled.

However, everyone didn't have time to reminisce, and there was a rush of running on the field.

"Richardson, chase down the three, hit!!" With Barkley's excited shouts, the fans in the arena applauded, Richardson felt awesome today, and they had already begun to think that the sophomore team would win.

Everyone seems to have forgotten Wu Di's contribution just now, and Richardson has become the protagonist on the field.

"Hey, Chinese can also come here to play?" Richardson smiled unscrupulously, on this field, he seemed to be the boss.

"Chinese don't come here to play." Wu Di's eyes obviously began to become less friendly.

At this time, Wu Di opened his hand to get the ball from Ginobili.

A smile crossed Richardson's face, and he was indeed a little curious about this answer.

"Oh? So what are you here to do......

Before the words fell, Richardson frowned, the guy in front of him actually shot directly between his words, so that he could not cause any interference to the other party at all.

……

The basketball arced high, Wu Di's eyes stared straight, and he couldn't stop yelling in his heart: "Go in, go in." ”

This is his fourth three-point shot, and if he misses any more, then he will definitely be put on the blacklist by Caton. So, he's desperate for the ball to go in.

"Whew~"

With a relieved gasp, Wu Di withdrew his arm in satisfaction, and he turned his head to look at Richardson.

"The Chinese are here to score, he is here to take the trophy."
