basketball never sleeps

Chapter 124 The Emperor’s Dunk

On February 19th, after an unknown third-tier female star performed a performance that revealed her flesh, the rookie game that the Denver audience had longed for finally began.

Sophomore starting lineup: Melo, Young James, Wade, Mo Wen, Bosh;

First-year starters: Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Howard, Josh Smith, Harris;

The audience cheered loudly, but if you listen carefully, you can feel that there is not much passion in the cheers.

Just like many teachers whose acting skills are immature, they have a loud voice but no emotions and cannot arouse the feelings of experienced actors at all.

The reason is also very simple: this is a game where the winner is decided before it even starts.

The 2003 class is recognized as the best class after the 1996 class. Not to mention that they have been practicing for a year. Even if it was when they first entered the league last year, this year's rookies would not be able to hit the mark.

There are actually many talents in this year's draft, but unfortunately none of them can stand out now: Howard is the only number one pick who is happy and has no basketball; Mr. Tony, who has not suffered injuries and knows a little bit about offense; he only averages 5 points per game in straight line play.

The ball speed ceiling is Devin Harris; the young Bulls Twins, Luol Deng and Ben Gordon; Tigger Josh Smith, Jr. AI Iguodala, Al Jefson, etc. have all played in the back

famous player.

But these players all have one thing in common, without exception, they all only truly realized their talents and became stars after three or five seasons.

Compared with the 2003 stars who were able to rank among the stars when they first entered the league, this group of new players still have a long way to go.

Without the ball in his hands, Howard completed the emperor's dunk.

Howard also has a desire to show off. Mo Wen is about the same height as his usual trainer, and it has stimulated the muscle memory he has gained from training in the past few months.

Seeing Howard doing the familiar gesture of holding the ball at his waist under the basket, Olajuwon in front of the TV clenched his fists.

As long as he has half the nagging desire to win...1/3...1/10, he won't end up hugging Lao James' lap in order to get the championship ring.

They hope that all the stars will come to participate in the game to entertain the public and increase the ratings.

Under the defense of the second-year players, Josh Smith, the fastest runner, received the pass, took off inside the free throw line, and easily completed a dunk with one hand holding the ball.

He can't do anything in normal games, but if he can successfully show it in the rookie game, it's not in vain that he has been a star in the past few months.

If the Nuggets were not the host, this game would be much better.

The two-round confrontation between Howard and Mo Wen was just a small episode.

Mo Wen hugged his chest, not paying attention to the abnormal brain circuit of 0, but started chatting with Ray Allen next to him.

Howard, whose CPU was a bit overloaded, simply shut down his brain and chose to use his best body to solve the problem.

Mo Wen's eyelids twitched. He couldn't tell for a moment whether Howard in front of him was lying to the child or Olajuwon was lying to the child.

"Lean on your lower body, then turn around, pretend to shoot, and deceive the opponent's defense... Hey, why doesn't this guy move? Forget it, if he doesn't move, then the next step should be to change the direction and pretend to attack..."

"Anthony turned around and shot a jumper, which was very...well, the movement was very smooth and graceful. He has already scored 16 points and is the core scorer of the second-year team."

In the following first quarter, both teams seemed to follow the rhythm of the first two rounds, constantly using various dunks to show the youthful vitality of the young people.

The first-year players intentionally asked Howard to play an answer ball, and Mo Wen also took the initiative to defend in front of Howard to save face.

Are you sure you are lying to people and not going to graves to burn newspapers?

Just Ning's hook hand, which he hasn't even practiced yet, where does he get the confidence to think he can deceive people?

At halftime, the two teams had opened up an 18-point gap, and Mo Wen also went off to rest.

It wasn't until the last flower ball that he successfully hit the first shot of the day.

"Howard completed a feat in basketball history. He dunked Mo without the ball. He is a genius. He is a true genius."

Ben Gordon also wanted to show off his fancy dribbling singles in front of Mo Wen, but he turned his head and was easily destroyed by Mo Wen's casual hand.

With the cooperation of everyone, Anthony's point-boosting campaign was a great success without any obstacles.

"It's a beautiful pass without looking at anyone. Mo and Wade still have such a tacit understanding. I think the second-year coach should slow down the two of them and James and put three All-Stars on the court. This is clearly bullying."

!”

"I've seen people dunk basketballs, and I've seen people get blocked for dunks, but this is the first time I've seen this happen."

He once entered a copy of the 2008 Finals, assuming the identity of Lewis and partnering with the "optimistic family patriarch" in front of him against the Lakers.

And Anthony also won the rookie game MVP with 33 points, 2 assists and 5 rebounds, which can be regarded as saving dignity for the Denver elders who had no sense of participation.

At the end of the game, the second grade team defeated the first grade team 149:106 by 43 points.

After Howard's probing for a while, Mo Wen didn't move at all.

"The sweet dream is over, young men, cheer up quickly, otherwise you will be massacred miserably by us tonight."

At first, the audience was willing to cheer enthusiastically for the back-and-forth dunks, but as the game continued, the two sides continued to dunk in isolation. The game without confrontation was empty and boring, and the audience soon became tired of Chen Shengli's aesthetics and cheered.

The sound is getting quieter and quieter.

Howard mentally carried the "dance steps" formula given to him by Olajuwon, while Mo Wen in front of him stopped moving after jamming his lower plate.

The quality of his opponents is also rarely high in recent years - Ray Allen, Allen Q, Korver, Joe Johnson and Arenas.

At the beginning of the game, "Happy Beast" easily slapped the basketball from Bosh's head.

So in the second quarter, he showed off fancy passing and also took the lead in increasing the defensive intensity of the game.

But just as Warcraft jumped excitedly, the round basketball in his hand was cut away by Mo Wen.

Missing all 5 shots at the first point really opened everyone's eyes.

"No, haven't you been deceived? Hakeem said that even the best defensive players will be deceived by shaking like this three times, especially a player shorter than me? Why don't you move?"

Before he could say a few words, there was the sound of clanging iron coming from Arenas' side.

The professional on-site commentators were embarrassed for two seconds.

This was the case in last year's rookie game. Both teams gave up defense at the last moment and just showed off their talents, turning a good game into a dunk performance by professional players.

One bouquet counts as 2 points, which is quite a lot.

Do you think that Howard, who was deducted one, would be angry about it, or even arouse the enthusiasm of the first-year players?

Leilaoluo, this stupid big guy seemed to have no negative emotions. Instead of blaming and resenting Mo Wen, he happily came up to ask Mo Wen how he completed the pass just now.

Dunk, dunk, dunk.

Mo Wen also hates this kind of game. There is no sense of competition at all, and the score difference has not widened yet.

Arenas, who has a big heart, has a little sweat on his head. Isn't it true that he feels so bad today?

But fortunately, this ball is 40% completed, and there are still three points behind it. As long as he scores one at each point, he can still save his basic face.

However, the outside world did not recognize Anthony's MVP status very much. Mo Wen only played half the game and scored 14 points and 5 assists. Wade was also replaced after scoring 20 points in the middle of the third quarter.

However, Arenas' mentality was still good. At the second point, he made almost no adjustments and continued to shoot at the same shooting speed as the previous group.

"Gordon was about to dunk...oh no, it was blocked. His performance was ruined by Milicic. The second-year player did not give up the stage to them as usual."

If any star is willing to take the initiative to participate in this kind of entertainment competition, the league officials will not deny it.

Jesus is right, you cannot touch money in this world that does not belong to you.

When Arenas hit the ball, Danzi, who was joining in the fun on the sidelines, showed a disappointed expression.

All the teammates on the first grade team were convinced. Brother, this was dunked in the game, not in the dunk contest. How can you be so optimistic and free-spirited?

If an ordinary person encountered this kind of opponent, they might be moved by Howard's innocence and free spirit, but Mo Wen, who was fooled by this guy's "optimism" in the dungeon, would not be moved at all.

That was the one he had the best chance of clearing [Hell Dungeon].

On the penultimate day of All-Star Week, Mo Wen once again rushed to the Pepsi Center to participate in the three-point contest.

"I don't practice much at long distances, but I can definitely win the regular three-pointer."

However, the league has a dedicated dunk performance team, and there will also be a dedicated dunk contest tomorrow. If you dunk in a serious competition like this, it will not be the same.

But the victory that was about to be achieved was suddenly wiped out by this guy's indifferent optimistic attitude.

Originally, the league officials did not expect Arenas to be invited, but after losing the three-point game against Mo Wen Chao, this guy has been clamoring to regain his place in the three-point contest.

After the commentator finished speaking, the stadium and the audience also expressed their recognition of the comedy effect of this scene with laughter and applause.

Arenas, who was the first to appear, patted Mo Wen's chest before entering the court and said provocatively.

After adjusting his posture and accumulating a little strength, Howard turned around and bumped into Mo Wen.

"Just wait and see, today I will open your eyes. The three-point champion must be mine!"

After Mo Wen tricked Howard with a pass and let him reach out to ambush Bosh and complete the dunk, the fans who saw the aggression let out a long-lost sincere cheer.

Josh also signed up for tomorrow's dunk contest. He will do three things to participate in the All-Star Game this time.

The first-grade cubs thought Mo Wen was just joking, but unexpectedly, in the following game, Mo Wen really took the second grade into serious action.

Just when everyone thought Mo Wen was being reasonable and worldly, Mo Wen put on a serious attitude and guarded Howard seriously.

With the sophomore effort in earnest, the live commentary and fans finally regained their energy from the lethargic performance.

Don't ask why they are all dunks, because he can't do anything else.

He doesn't know why in just the past ten seconds, his goal has changed from the three-point champion to scoring 5 points to count as victory.

This time he followed the script he had in mind, but Mo Wen couldn't resist his power and evacuated.

In the second-year offense, the basketball passed through Mo Wen's hands and was passed to Anthony, who was counterattacking quickly. Melo, who had no belly, was also a good player in fast breaks. Under Luol Deng's eye defense, Melo easily made a three-pointer.

He stepped forward and completed a low-altitude dunk gracefully and smoothly.

I don't know whether it was because Mo Wen cut the ball too fast or because Howard's core muscles were too developed. Instead of losing his balance due to being intercepted, this guy got up and flew towards the basket like a predetermined procedure.

In the second half, Anthony also put away his playfulness and concentrated on brushing up data...

So Howard didn't hit the ball hard to the basket, but stopped when it hit the line of the three-second zone.

Boom——

Dunk is like a high-end steak. If you only taste one or two slices, it is absolutely delicious. But if you keep eating it, you will definitely get tired of it if you eat too much.

Olajuwon, who was sitting in front of the TV, saw this scene and immediately turned off the TV and rubbed his chest fiercely.

So next... Howard holds the basketball, bends his legs, takes one step and dunks.

The third group, arc top.

Arenas adjusted the shooting speed and increased the time to aim at the frame, but to no avail.

He still only made one ordinary shot.

Unconsciously, the general's palms were filled with sweat.
