One Guard
Chapter 207: Performance? Not anymore!
Vignelli's shot from beyond the NBA 3-point line gave her team a full 20-point lead. With Scottie Pippen, a former NBA All-Star player, and Vignari, an active professional player, the East Celebrities won easily.
At this time, there are only three minutes until the end of the nba masters game. The game has lost its suspense, and the fans are no longer restless. From this moment on, everyone's thoughts have been put on the rookie challenge that will start later.
At the same time, in the underground training ground of the Staples Center, the rookies of the first and second grades have started adaptive training in two venues respectively.
The All-Star Game is an exhibition game, the purpose is not to win or lose, but to please the fans. Therefore, it is generally not necessary to set up any complicated tactics for victory. More often than not, the coach is just a "decoration". It's just a matter of deciding who goes in and who goes off. Therefore, the content of the training will not be too complicated, it is just that the players get to know each other.
Not so for the first-year rookie team. This year, the proud 10th rookie is not only very eager to overturn the second grade, but everyone hopes to become the most dazzling person in this team and win the rookie game mvp.
Therefore, before the game even started, Wade could smell a strong smell of gunpowder in the training hall. It seems that this year's Rookie Challenge will be more interesting than expected.
Yiyang is not interested in any rookie game mvp, but he doesn't want to lose to others, especially Cousins and Griffin, the two big men with malicious intentions. So in the training, I also worked extra hard.
Wade smiled. He believed that on another training field, the second-year rookies must have thought it was just an easy show. "The Flash" can't wait to see the surprised faces of the second-year rookies.
"This group of guys is really full of energy! It's great to be with young people!" Mike Budenholzer, Popovich's assistant coach is today's first-year team coach. He was on the sidelines with his hips akimbo, looking at the young people who were actively preparing for the game, with a smile on his face.
"Young people, everyone wants to win, everyone wants to be the best. I think the relationship with Griffin and Cousins may not be very good. In the game, will you let the three of them play together for a long time? ?” Wade, who had more contact with the players, began to introduce the situation to Budenholzer.
"When you put it that way, I really want to see what happens when these three young people who are arrogant and dislike each other are present at the same time for a long time. Let's treat Dwyane like this, and put those three little guys Put together for a long time. I think, it will be very interesting!" Budenholzer showed a sinister smile, which may be the benefit of being the head coach of the rookie team. How to match these guys, you have the final say!
an hour later,
The eagerly awaited first-year rookies finally stepped onto the field. The game hasn't started yet, they are just warming up, but in the stands, there is already a flash!
"The rookies are finally here! I think many people, like me, have been looking forward to today's Rookie Challenge for a long time!" In the commentary booth of TNT TV, Charles Barkley spoke first. The broadcast of the Rookie Challenge also officially started.
"Welcome to TNT TV. I'm Charles Barkley. On my left are Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller. On the right is Chris Webber. Today, we will bring you the commentary of the All-Star Rookie Challenge !"
TNT TV station has four leading commentators appearing at the same time, which is the luxurious commentary configuration for the All-Star event.
"Today, we're going to see two No. 1 picks on the same team. Seriously, with Griffin's dunk and Wall's pass, I can't guess what the two No. 1 picks will bring us. What a performance!" Kenny Smith opened up a topic for his partners, a topic that fans are most interested in.
"Wall's judgment on the court is very accurate, and today is also the warm-up before the Griffin dunk contest. I think we should be able to see a lot of wonderful dunks. But compared to Wall, I look forward to playing with Griffin." I’m really looking forward to those mysterious passes!” Reggie Miller obviously prefers Yiyang, after all, so far this season So far, Yiyang's performance is indeed better than Wall's.
"Hey, don't forget Cousins and Yi. If you want me to say, these two enemies will be thankful if they don't fight on the court!"
"Hahaha, I feel the same way Chris, hey, do you think Cousins and Yee can play long hours..."
The commentators mobilized the emotions of the fans on the commentary stand, and on the court, every first-year rookie seemed very serious. This is more like a civil war among the first-year rookies, and the second-year rookies seem to have a lot less presence.
After changing her clothes and taking a shower, Vignali also sat on the stand. Later, he will record every wonderful moment of Yiyang.
The warm-up on the court was still exciting. Yiyang and Wallby shot, and Griffin and Cousins dunked from time to time, causing the audience to exclaim. And Gary Neal, the undrafted pick of the Spurs, was so nervous that he sat on a chair, and could only rely on chatting with the security aunt to relieve stress.
Just a warm-up, fans and reporters have been mesmerized. And when the game officially started, the entire Staples Center dome seemed to be toppled!
Vignali didn't look like a celebrity at all, and she mingled with the fans, raising her arms and screaming for the yellow guy.
Cousins, Griffin, Yiyang, Wall, these four high-profile guys stepped onto the court at the same time, pushing the atmosphere to the first climax.
However, Landry Fields, a native of California of the New York Knicks, became the least popular starter in the first-year team.
The starting players of both sides stood at the designated positions, the spotlights of the court were scattered, and the whole court became bright. The referee stood in front of Cousins and Bryan, and threw the much-anticipated basketball into the air!
DeJuan Blair of the Spurs is a second-round pick. Although the Spurs have a strong ability to shop for low picks, as a second-round pick, Blair does have some flaws.
As a center forward, Blair's height of only 2.01 meters after wearing shoes is naturally one of the reasons why he dropped so low in the draft. Play the 3, he's too slow and has no range. Playing inside, he is too short to protect the rebounds effectively. If it weren't for the fact that Duncan "wiped his ass" by his side all the year round, maybe Blair's performance would not be so good.
In the scrimmage stage, Cousins, who has an advantage in height and bounce, dialed the ball into Wall's hands. Wall held the ball and advanced quickly, and the performance of the first-year rookies officially began!
Cousins actively asked for a position, hoping that his college teammates could pass the first ball to him. Wall didn't embarrass Cousins either. He hung the basketball lightly and sent the basketball to the inside.
Blair is different from Cousins, this guy joins the rookie game purely for fun, only a guy like Cousins, who is playing in a rebuilding team, has the mind to think about the rookie game mvp. The goal of Blair and Yiyang is the NBA championship!
Seeing Blair's lax defense, Cousins turned over and shot a jumper.
Cousins felt that he had a good handle on the ball, but the basketball slid out after swiping around in the frame!
The second-year team's starting power forward Taj Gibson was not too vigilant, ready to accept the defensive rebound.
Just as No. 22, wearing the red Bulls jersey, was about to jump, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the yellow-skinned defender wearing the Mavericks blue jersey jumped up from Gibson. The jumping height of No. 1 was so scary that Gibson couldn't believe Yiyang's complexion!
Yiyang managed to catch the basketball before Gibson, and then directly dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!
"Boom!" The audience exploded, the fans were already full of expectations for this rookie game, and Yiyang's first performance did not disappoint the fans' expectations!
"Hohohoho, although he is a point guard, his dunks often appear in the regular season. Just now, he brought this stunt to the All-Star Weekend. This beginning, I think everyone Are you very satisfied!"
Kenny Smith was wrong. Although Yiyang's supplementary buckle won a lot of applause, not everyone was satisfied.
Cousins, who is now running towards his own half, is a very dissatisfied one. His shot went out of the box, and Yiyang stole all the limelight. Can this kind of thing make Cousins feel comfortable?
The second-year team attacked, and Jennings, who belongs to Bill Duffy's banner like Yiyang, used the pick-and-roll to break through Wall and prepare for a layup.
At this time, Cousins has been pulled to the mid-range position by Blair. According to the standards of the All-Star Game, Jennings believes that Cousins should not make up for this ball with all his strength. He only needs to perform a slam dunk for the fans. Can.
Just when Jennings jumped high and stretched his body completely to prepare for dunks. The basketball he put behind his head was pressed down by a huge force!
Cousins, who came from the middle distance, slammed down Jennings' dunk, which made the Bucks' hopeful star lose face!
Cousins doesn't care so much, whether it's an exhibition game or not. Just now he lost his hand and was robbed of the limelight by Yiyang, now he has to use defensive methods to get it back!
"This kid is really a muscle!" Off the field, the second-year team assistant coach Anthony shook his head speechlessly at Cousins. Could it be that today, the two sides will get serious in advance?
After the basketball was blocked, Cousins sent the ball to Wall, who had already started, with a precise long pass. Wall didn't go straight for a layup, but threw the ball to the backboard. Griffin came from behind, leaped high, and smashed the rebounded basketball into the basket!
"Yeah!" This time, the cheers at the scene were even louder than when Yiyang made the dunk just now. The much-anticipated Griffin's dunk so early was indeed beyond everyone's imagination. And Griffin's powerful and sinking buckle is indeed shocking enough!
"Hey, just mind your big fool, okay? If he wants to do this again, we'll do it for real." Jennings came over and patted Yiyang on the shoulder and said, Yiyang just spread out If I could handle that guy, he wouldn't get so many technical fouls.
Then, the sophomore team attacked again. James Harden, who replaced the injured Evans and was selected as the starter, held the ball in front of Yiyang, and the two formed a singles situation.
Yiyang didn't take defense very seriously, and he also knew that he didn't want to embarrass others today, at least not in the first three quarters. So after Harden made a series of dizzying crotch dribbles, Yiyang was "broken" by Harden.
After the breakthrough, Harden went straight to the layup. I thought this goal would undoubtedly open the scoring for the second-year team, but unexpectedly, it was Cousins again.
That guy rushed out diagonally and viciously knocked Harden to the ground even with the ball. Although the scale of whistle-blowing in the All-Star Game was very large, the referee had to interrupt the originally smooth game due to such a serious collision.
Seeing this completely unnecessary scene, the eyes of everyone in the second grade team changed. These 10-year-old boys are planning to kill them all!
Cousins raised his hand disapprovingly to indicate foul, while Yiyang secretly sighed. The players on the second-year team will not be so slack in the future, because Cousins, a "good teammate", has successfully annoyed the opponent.
It seems that the real competition will be staged ahead of schedule this year.
These four interesting starters of the 10th rookie are really not a fuel-efficient lamp!
