I am Really an Insider

Chapter 144 141: The MVP is actually (4.6K votes requested)

Watching the first-year team players encouraging each other and walking off the field, LeBron James's expression finally no longer looked so calm.

Those guys really wanted to win, they really wanted to win and they were willing to pay the price.

And what about the second graders?

No one is willing to fight except Anthony.

That's right, even James and Wade don't want to.

They are willing to contribute, but they are far from the level of desperate efforts.

Anthony looked at James and Wade and said nothing.

He can understand.

But he still didn't want to give up and give up this opportunity to win the MVP of the rookie game at home.

On the other side, Carlesimo found himself completely speechless.

Because this group of first-year students can do everything by themselves.

"Continue to stabilize the score. Gordon can't leave the game now. He must help you open up space. I will come on when I need to resist their crazy counterattack in the last quarter." Tony Allen took the initiative to give up the opportunity to Gordon. Damn, I can't imagine that they were still fighting in the NCAA finals half a year ago.

"On the offensive end, we must pass the ball, share the ball more, and don't indulge in individual singles." Okafor said to his teammates while applauding.

"If you need it, I can rush up at any time. You just need to shout to me, Wei." Although Harris was panting, he still had a smile on his face.

Then, all eyes turned to Wayne, the initiator of this plan.

"Well, let's continue to maintain the original lineup. In the third quarter, we will attack first, and in the fourth quarter, we will defend." Wayne nodded and finalized everything.

Carlesimo: "I really want to go back to the hotel"

After the game resumed, Barkley immediately perked up.

If you want to watch a real game during the NBA All-Star Weekend, today is your only chance!

The sophomore side no longer had the arrogance they had at the beginning of the second half.

Although they are still very strong, everyone now believes that it is possible for the 2004 class to win the competition.

After Wayne came on the field, he clapped his hands vigorously: "If we persist for one and a half more quarters, we can embrace victory!"

Everyone nodded silently and took a defensive posture.

Anthony did not talk to James or Wade this time. He would resolve his own matters by himself.

"Carmelo Anthony can't win." Looking at Anthony, who started holding the ball from the backcourt, Artest in the stands shook his head proudly.

"Why?" Beside Artest, his hair Odom asked.

"Why? Because Wayne plays and trains with the best small forwards in the league every day. Wayne is more than enough to deal with Cameron."

Odom smiled and shook his head. Fortunately, he had been accustomed to Artest's character since he was a child.

Otherwise, Artest's head will probably be blown off.

On the first offense after returning from the game, Anthony broke through Iguodala with the ball.

But as soon as Guagua burst in, he found that the penalty area was full of people.

The first-grade team begins to shrink its defense!

Anthony gritted his teeth and rushed in with all his strength.

After another tumbling, the referee blew the whistle.

Defensive foul, Anthony has to make two free throws.

"It was a brutal game. The first-year team's defense didn't give an inch, and Cameron was not afraid at all. If every All-Star game could be played like this, David Stern wouldn't have to worry about All-Star weekend ratings. ”

Barkley's ridicule is obviously unrealistic, because if the All-Star Game were played like this, no one would be willing to participate.

Moreover, this kind of All-Star game, which is always interrupted by fouls and free throws, may not be something that all fans like to watch.

Anthony stood on the free throw line. He thought he could easily score two points.

But Anthony missed the first free throw!

"Failed to hit, this is really worse for Cameron. Although he is currently the player with the highest score in the game, if he cannot win the game, then there will be no MVP."

Anthony's free throw shooting rate this season is close to 80%. Nuggets fans who often watch Anthony's games know very well that Anthony's free throws look more accurate than the statistics indicate.

That's because Anthony's free throw shooting is very stable most of the time, but when Anthony's physical fitness begins to fluctuate, his free throw shooting percentage will be obviously affected.

In terms of physical fitness, it may not be practical for Anthony to equalize the score by playing alone.

Even if he has this ability, his physical fitness does not allow it.

Fortunately, Anthony made a solid hit on his second free throw, thus avoiding the embarrassment.

"I'll go defend Wei, and you can recover on the defensive end for a while." Bosh patted Anthony on the shoulder when he was retreating.

Anthony nodded silently, really unwilling to do so!

Then, Wayne found himself being defended by Bosh. Moreover, Bosh's defensive attitude was obviously much better than in the first half.

The difficulty of scoring has increased again.

So this time, Wayne directly pulled Bosh outside the three-point line, creating a lineup for Howard that was full of shots.

This idea was naturally proposed by Wayne. After all, he had seen the entire process of Howard leading the Magic to the Finals in his previous life.

Howard held the ball and beat Haslem in isolation. Although his technique was rough, Haslem's body was completely exploded.

The first turn around and layup, Howard missed.

But after taking the shot, Howard could immediately take off a second time and continue to tip-in.

For the second time, Howard made up for it and the score continued to widen!

"The tactics of the first-year team are very interesting. I don't know how coach Carlesimo arranged such effective tactics in a short period of time."

Barkley found himself impressed by Carlesimo.

Carlesimo was praised while lying down.

After the second-year team's counterattack, Anthony was still closely attached. This time, the ball was handed to Wade.

But Wade faced some difficulties when faced with the shrinking defense of the first-year team.

Damn it, is it deliberately targeting Zhanzhan and me?

How can we break out if you are like this?

At this time, Gordon also directly let Wade go.

Can Wade stand this kind of anger? Who are you trying to kill?

"Duang!"

The basketball hoop comes out, Wade makes a long shot, and you are the one who will be eliminated!

"It's very smart. The defense of the first-year team worked again. They forced the opponent to take shots away from the basket. Although the second-year team has more stars, they all need to have the ball in their hands, and James and Wade's shots are also good. One of its weaknesses.

Coach Carlesimo knows the sophomore class well and his tactics are spot on. "

Carlesimo: "Why do I feel like someone is always talking about me? Damn, when will the game end? I'm so sleepy!"

The first graders once again performed well defensively, which gave them a boost of confidence.

At the same time, their trust in Wayne soared.

Because they followed Wayne's tactics and they really achieved results.

Although Wayne is now a professional player, to be honest, he is not a master tactician. He just absorbs the defensive experience of future people.

Of course, the second-year team won't be able to score a single goal.

For example, after one round, James shouldered Wayne's defense and scored a 2+1, once again letting people see the unmatched talent of the 2003 class.

But it was really difficult to score a goal in 2003.

They did not play the offensive direction they expected, but fell into a quagmire under the clear strategy of the first grade and struggled.

In this way, the score difference cannot be effectively reduced.

I guess the second-year players just want to scold him now. Who would have thought that Ma Dan would be targeted during a rookie game?

Who came up with such a disgusting idea?

Wayne: Ahem, it’s me who is both civil and military.

Just like that, the third quarter of the sophomore game was extremely ugly.

Although they started to get serious, the point difference did not narrow much.

After the third quarter, the first grade team still led by 14 points.

Moreover, they exhausted their opponents.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the first-year team replaced Gordon with Tony and Iguodala with Okafor.

Continue to strengthen defense, especially inside defense!

Wade wanted to turn the tide in the fourth quarter, but met Tony who was 100% committed.

Wade said: slipped away.

It's really hard to rush in. Tony is really pulling you!

Being defended like this on the outside and having to fight hand-to-hand when entering the three-second zone, who can withstand this?

Tony Allen's performance today also surprised many people. People didn't expect that this small guard who didn't play much in Boston could actually compete with an All-Star player like Wade.

Tony actually performed a bit beyond his level today. He worked very, very hard and "bitten" Wade as if he were his mortal enemy.

Don't ask, just ask: I am the MVP in Wayne's heart, and I can't let him down!

Wayne probably didn't even know that his casual words had such a big impact.

True leadership talent!

In the last few minutes of the game, when Bosh couldn't bear it, Wayne started to attack crazily.

He used his almighty skills to torture the Dragon King's nerves, and Bosh was unable to guard against him.

But at this time, the first-year team also encountered a new problem on the defensive end - Happy Beast was so tired that he died on the spot.

Because he is an important force on the defensive end, the rest time has been short.

After confronting James for so long, Howard felt a little unable to jump.

But Wayne is not afraid, now it's your turn to make an appointment with Big Eagle!

Josh finally appeared on the stage. He was so excited. He couldn't wait to show off his mid-range shooting skills that would make Anthony silent!

Josh replaced Howard, Okafor took the fifth position, and Wayne returned to the fourth position.

It seems that this cannot solve the problem of interior defense, but in fact, it solves it very well.

After this substitution, James boldly broke through the inside.

That smiling guy is finally gone, and I can finally break through with peace of mind!

But James never expected that he would be hunted down again.

This time, it was the physically fit Josh who took the risk!

"Josh Smith slapped the basketball out of James' hand from behind. Oh my god, this guy's jumping is almost as good as James!"

Barkley's eyes were straight. In today's rookie game, the 2004 class was like a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

All of them can work!

James is extremely embarrassed, you guys are so disrespectful!

Of course, one bad side effect of dating Da Ying is that he really knows how to hit the field goal!

After taking advantage of James, Josh counterattacked with the ball. Facing the exhausted Haslem, he did not attack the basket, but stopped in the mid-range to shoot a jumper.

"I'm the most handsome mid-range shooter on this court!" Josh was cheering himself up while shooting.

"Don't!" Before Wayne could even say the words, the basketball was already being struck.

The hit rate is really stable!

But fortunately, there is not much game time now, and it won't hurt even if Josh takes a few waves now.

The situation has been firmly controlled by the first grade team!

Anthony grabbed the rebound and looked at the big screen.

With 1:03 left in the game, the sophomore team trailed by 9 points.

No matter how hard you work, you will definitely win!

So, Anthony opened the singles this time and challenged Josh.

In addition to blocking shots, Josh's other defensive skills are still relatively poor.

So Guagua easily passed this guy with a mid-range shot.

After breaking through Josh, Angua made a jump shot from a zero-degree angle in the middle distance on the right.

Josh is so angry, do you really want to compete with me in the middle distance? Don’t overestimate your capabilities!

Anthony's jump shot this time was more casual and not very high. He was really tired.

So Barkley wasn't surprised when Wayne caught up and fanned the basketball straight into the stands.

The first grade team, Quan is the captain of the volleyball team.

The whole place was in an uproar, Anthony was panting, he was doing his best.

31 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, no one has more gorgeous statistics than him.

But he never really mastered the game from beginning to end.

"Sorry Melo, I can't give you today's MVP." Wayne whispered in Anthony's ear after blocking him.

This time, society did not respond.

He walked silently to the sideline and prepared to kick off again.

You could say he was trying to focus on the game, but it was generally seen as a sign that he had lost hope.

More than a minute later, the red light on the backboard came on.

Wayne and his friends hugged each other, among which Okafor and Wayne hugged the tightest

Anthony lowered his head and left the court silently without hugging the first-year team players or even his teammates.

Logically speaking, he could not leave until the MVP award ceremony was over, but he really couldn't stay any longer.

James and Wade had their hands on their hips. They wanted to say something to Anthony, but they hesitated.

118 to 109, the arrogant 2003 Super Platinum Generation lost to the underappreciated 2004 Generation in what they called a "real confrontation"!

“It was a great win, maybe the greatest win in rookie tournament history! Both sides put in great performances for us and they really turned this game into a real battle.

In the meantime, the class of 2004 can have a good laugh. Because what they won was one of the greatest drafts in NBA history! "

Barkley stood up and boasted. In today's game, I can't praise the 2004 class too much.

On the court, the players from the 2004 class were still celebrating wildly.

So much so that when it came to the MVP award ceremony, the 2004 class couldn't help but jump up and down.

Today, the statistics of the players in the 2004 class are actually relatively average.

Among the best performers, Wayne had 21 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks.

Howard had 18 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Iguodala had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals.

The remaining Gordon, Harris and others also made double-digit scoring contributions.

But when the host announced that Wayne was the MVP of the rookie game, everyone took the initiative to push Wayne forward.

Including Okafor, who has always wanted MVP.

Because everyone knows that without Wayne's plan and leadership, it would be impossible for them to win this dream victory.

Wayne deserves the Rookie Game MVP award!

But after the results were announced, Wayne did not receive the MVP trophy or smile. Instead, he asked the host: "Can I say a few words first?"

"Of course." the host said, handing the microphone to Wayne.

Everyone thought Wayne was going to give an acceptance speech, but little did they know, what he said was surprising.

"I refuse to accept the award, not because of anything else, just because I think all of us are rookie MVPs! Without one of us, this victory will not become a reality.

So, if possible, I would like to share the MVP trophy with all my teammates. This is an honor that belongs to all participating players in the 2004 class. "

After speaking, Wayne raised the MVP trophy and handed it to his teammates behind him.

It is not unheard of in NBA history for two people to win the Rookie Game MVP trophy at the same time, but it is indeed the first time for an entire team to win the trophy at the same time.

Huddled together with everyone sharing a small crystal trophy, Wayne felt inexplicably happy.

Basketball is indeed not a one-person sport.

This group of usual enemies seems to be quite interesting.

James and Wade stood on the other side, applauding the players of the 2004 class.

They suddenly realize that their pressures and challenges don’t just come from their seniors.

Their juniors are also very difficult to deal with!

Especially the guy who led the 2004 class.

"Wei will be a big trouble in the future." Wade said helplessly in James' ear.

"No," James shook his head: "Not in the future, he is already a big trouble."
