Chapter Seventy-Six: Rookie MVP (I'm Back Again)

ps. Huhu, I can't remember exactly how many days have passed, and the wedding banquet is really busy to kill the beast in the basketball world. The most tragic thing is...... It's not me who gets married, I'm just a cook......~~~~(>_<)~~~~

When Zhang Kong began to exert his strength, Bagyani really withered.

Whether it's Bagyani or Aldridge, both of them belong to the technical inside. Mid-range shots, long-range shots, and back-to-back foot-shaking under-the-basket offense are all their forte. But once they entered the hard-to-go power competition, neither of them had the slightest way to stop Zhang Kong.

The forbidden area is like an undefended area for Zhang Kong. To tell the truth, Zhang Kong sometimes feels troublesome for this kind of offensive throwing flow, but he can never stop him, but the kind of inner meat shield full of muscles can easily cause trouble to him.

Just like Parkinson in the six-overtime battle with the Celtics, if Parkinson hadn't left the court because of too many fouls at the last moment, Zhang Kong would not have played so easily in the final quarter of overtime.

And on the playing field, once the inside line is opened, there will naturally be many opportunities on the outside. When Zhang Kong was in the penalty area, taking advantage of the heads of Aldridge and Bagjani, the sophomores' defensive circle naturally began to shrink. Although they may not have a good relationship with each other, they obviously don't want to lose.

On the All-Star Field, sophomores have won five times over their freshmen, and if they are broken at this time, there is no doubt that they will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Because historically, this kind of counterattack that ignores the experience of the game will only occur when the quality gap between the two rookies is recognized as huge.

Neither Aldridge nor Bagyani, nor Brandon Roy nor Rudy Gay, obviously didn't want their names to be mentioned in a counterattack.

However, in this way, it is equivalent to giving those outsiders the space to shoot at will.

Brush~~~

Durant clenched his fists and stepped back. A solid three-point shot allowed him to score his 25th point today, which would have been enough to compete for All-Star rookie MVP. But today...... Durant looked at Zhang Kong, who was also retreating, the three-point shot just now came from him, and he decisively distributed the ball outside the three-point line after being caught on the inside, and it went to Durant's hands.

At this time, Zhang Kong's data has been projected on the big screen in the arena, which is a preferential treatment that can only be obtained by MVP.

22 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, four blocks.

All-round as always, and it's infinitely close to a triple-double. With such data, even if the first-year team loses the game in the end, Zhang Kong has a great chance to play the MVP, not to mention that the first-year team has gradually gained an advantage in the field.

"When was the last time someone had a triple-double at the All-Star Game?" During the game, Durant was rarely distracted, which can't be blamed on him, the gap is too big, and he was always compared to Zhang Kong throughout his rookie season. In fact, this comparison should have been placed on Zhang Kong and Oden, both center players, one was the last pick in the final round, and the other was the top pick in the draft. But Oden was reimbursed for the season......

Truth be told, he used to secretly rejoice in Oden's season reimbursement, because as a result, Durant thinks that no one in the league will be able to compete with him for the best rookie in the league, except for one of the empty ......

What particularly distressed Durant is that there is nothing left to say about this season because of Oden's season reimbursement, so he is the closest to the top pick and falls victim to a comparison that shouldn't have happened.

It stands to reason that his average of 20 points per game can be ranked in the top few even if not the best one in the previous list, and the second best performance among the many rookies this season. If there is no space this season, he will surely be able to win the best rookie trophy without suspense.

Helplessly, there was an empty ......

Durant's momentary distraction was keenly captured by Brandon Roy, who has more than one year of game experience than Durant, he will never let go of this opportunity, and immediately disguised himself in front of the body, shook off Durant, and entered the inside.

Brandon Roy shook past him, Durant suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly wanted to chase after him, but found that he couldn't catch up with Roy's pace in just a few steps, he started slowly, and naturally he didn't have time to make up for the gap, but another person made up for him...... Zhang Kong, who was originally on the left side of the penalty area, suddenly moved horizontally to the right side of the penalty area, jumped from behind Yi Jianlian, and blocked Roy's layup by one person!

The basketball that bounced out fell into Durant's hands.

The basketball fell into his hand, and Durant instinctively pushed towards the frontcourt, which was a fast-break opportunity for Tianzong and must not be let go.

At this time, Brewer, who came on as a substitute, had already stepped back and hit Durant all the way to prevent him from speeding up. At this time, Kevin Durant's physical confrontation ability was still very poor, and he even looked a little skinny and weak when he first entered the league, seeing that others were about to outflank him, Durant was about to stop and stabilize the basketball, waiting for his teammates to come up and play a positional battle, when he suddenly heard a loud roar from behind him.

"Rebound!"

Excited, Durant did not hesitate to throw the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

Immediately, a strong wind rushed by, and the sudden coldness made Durant feel his hairs stand on end. Red SE's No. 24 jersey flew high. He was followed by another man.

Aldridge, he obviously didn't want to stand on the sidelines and watch others perform, but used all his strength to prevent the birth of a jingcai shot, and with a hideous face, he grabbed the arm of the Cavaliers' No. 24 with one arm, but even so, he couldn't stop it......

Aldridge's own feet were also lifted off the ground, like fuel barrels strapped to the rocket's body, and were carried into the sky before the rocket's strong power.

A pair of big solid hands grabbed the basketball that bounced back from the hoop, and did not make any superfluous beautiful movements, just took the basketball to the back of his head.

Then, it smashed into the basket like a wall!

Bang......

With the ensuing shock, Aldridge's body shook violently in the air, and then flew backwards like a person who had been hit by a car.

The hoop roared violently, the entire basketball hoop squeaked and shook, and the heart-wrenching sound spread to the entire court through the loudspeaker on the rebound, so that every spectator clearly understood how terrifying the power of the dunk just now......

The referee immediately stopped the game, and the basketball hoop was still shaking, so the danger of the game was too great, after all, no one knew if the basketball hoop would be able to hold up in the end...... And when the referee stretched out his hand to signal the maintenance personnel to come on the field, he noticed another scene......

Aldridge fell to the ground in pain, one hand on his ankle, unable to make a sound. He immediately ran to Aldridge.

The telecast immediately focused the camera on Aldridge, who fell to the ground.

At this time, Carnells, who was watching the All-Star Game with his family in front of the TV, jumped up and cursed through gritted teeth!

Aldridge is the main power forward of the Trail Blazers, and now the entire Trail Blazers, except for Roy, is Aldridge the most reliable. If this is an injury, how should the Trail Blazers play in the next half of the season?

Canels felt a sadness in his heart, could it be that the Trail Blazers' 'center curse' is not over? First Oden, then Aldridge, you must know that although Aldridge has always said that he is a power forward, on the court, he plays the center position......

Aldridge's sudden injury has undoubtedly added more buzz and variables to this All-Star rookie game. However, this did not have much impact on Zhang Kong, through the replay, everything that happened has been clearly revealed in front of everyone's eyes, Aldridge's injury is completely because he failed to control his body when he landed, which sprained his ankle. On the contrary, his malicious foul on Zhang Kong before the injury was seen by more people, so there was no sympathy at all, and the referee even blew him a foul before Aldridge left the field, giving Zhang Kong a chance to add a penalty.

It's a bit cold, but it's in line with the rules.

After Aldridge was injured, the newly substituted Gabajosa couldn't even stop Zhang Kong a little. The second grade team's inner line has completely fallen, and the outside line has also fallen into chaos because of the fall of the inner line, and the balance of the game has completely tilted to the side of the first grade team.

The final score was 122-109, and the first-year team won by 13 points. Zhang Kong was elected rookie MVP with 29 points, 17 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks, and his super data of quasi-triple-double made his election undoubted. As for the original rookie MVP, although Zhang Kong's teammate Gibson also scored 36 points and hit as many as 9 three-pointers, he could only watch the rookie MVP trophy fall into the hands of his teammates because of the loss of the game.

However, when the game was over, Gibson still walked up and congratulated Zhang Kong: "You guy, you took away the only MVP I can take!" ”

When he walked up, Gibson complained resentfully: "It's so hateful, you invite you to dinner today." ”

After getting the MVP, Zhang Kong's mood was surprisingly happy, and he immediately said boldly: "Okay, no problem, but with me, you can only choose steak and Chinese food." ”

"It's still Chinese food, the steak is really boring." Gibson shook his head and said, "I want to eat well, just like the 'slow sweat system' you said last time, one hundred and eight dishes, not one less." ”

"I'm cao, can you eat too?" Zhang Kong's eyes widened: "The one hundred and eight dishes of the Manchu and Han Dynasty have to be eaten for a long time, not to mention that many of them are illegal. ”

"I don't care, I'm going to eat anyway." Gibson said unrelentingly: "I still want 82 years of Lafite, drink one bottle and pour one bottle." ”
