The King of the NBA

Duan Xiaoran and his colleagues sat in the media seats.

Before she came to the United States, she made a phone call with Ning Yi, and when she arrived, she also met with Ning Yi and had a meal. Encouraged by her colleagues, Duan Xiaoran was no longer as shy as before, and started to take the initiative.

Ning Yi is not a fool, of course he understands what Duan Xiaoran means. He has a good impression of Duan Xiaoran, but he doesn't want to rashly turn this kind of friendship into a lover. He likes the feeling now, without pressure, and will not Worry about gains and losses.

Everything, just let nature take its course.

Seeing Ning Yi, Duan Xiaoran's eyes lit up, Ning Yi also looked over, and the two exchanged a look.

On the side, the colleague started to tease Duan Xiaoran again: "Xiao Nizi, look at you, your soul has been taken away."

"No way." Duan Xiaoran was ashamed, but her heart was sweet. She launched an offensive, and Ning Yi didn't immediately refuse or alienate her. This was a good start.

In the auditorium, Jenna sat with her family.

She also has a younger brother, together with her parents, the family of four are in a good mood and enjoy themselves happily.

Knowing that Jenna became Ning Yi's assistant, Jenna's younger brother Mike was very excited. He pestered Jenna to ask Ning Yi for an autograph. He is a fan of Ning Yi.

This time I was able to watch the All-Star Game, Mike was so excited that he couldn't sleep, he even yawned after he came, but when he saw Ning Yi, he immediately came to the spirit, took Jenna's hand, and shouted: "Sister, sister, after the game, can you take me to take a photo with Ning? I still want to sign."

"Hehe, of course it's okay." Jenna smiled.

"Yeah, that's great." Mike is only fourteen years old this year, and he still has a somewhat childlike heart.

Beside her, Jenna's parents were grinning and looked at Jenna with pride. Their daughter is now promising.

Don't think that Americans don't have this kind of thinking. In fact, parents everywhere in the world are the same. They all hope that their children will be successful and promising, and they all want to be proud of it.

On the court, players from both sides finished warming up.

"Ning, Gobert, Antetokounmpo, Wiggins, Schroeder, you all start." Gentry spread out the tactical board and made the pre-match arrangements, "We will have it later"

Not far away, the coach of the US team, the Hawks assistant Kenny Atkinson, is also arranging tactics.

Although this is a rookie game, but this year's rookie game has been changed to Team USA VS World Team, the situation has changed a bit, and the competition has become stronger. One side represents American players, and the other side represents international players. Neither side wants to lose. As the coaches of both teams, it is naturally the same.

Of course, the most important thing is the players themselves. In the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game, there are a lot of players in these games, and many of them are not familiar with them. It is actually difficult to reflect the coaching. After all, it is impossible for any coach to gather such players together. Together, after a day of training, they will be condensed into a team full of team awareness and tacit cooperation.

So the tactical arrangement is actually secondary, the key is to see the players play.

"beep"

Soon, the game begins.

The US team got the ball first. Their starters today are Noel of the 76ers, Zeller of the Hornets, Pope of the Pistons, Oladipo of the Magic, and Payton, also from the Magic.

Payton played the No. 1 position. When he came to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Oladipo, whom he was most familiar with. After all, he was a teammate. He trusted Oladipo more in terms of familiarity and emotion.

Moreover, in the US team's lineup, Oladipo's strength is also one of the best. As a second-year player, he averaged 18 points per game this season, which is already very good.

Oladipo took the ball and turned to look at Ning Yi.

As a 13-year rookie with Ning Yi, Oladipo should have been dazzling, but because Ning Yi was too good, his light was covered. Even though he played nearly 18+5+5 data this season, compared with Ning Yi, he still looks bleak and inferior.

In his heart, Oladipo is very unwilling. As long as he meets Ning Yi, his blood will boil, and he will regard Ning Yi as his only opponent.

Although, they are not the ones who directly counterpoint.

"Whoosh!"

Oladipo started, accelerated in a change of direction, and passed Wiggins.

Although Wiggins is a rookie, he played very well this season, averaging 17 points per game. His talent is beyond doubt, but his inattention to defense and resistance to physical confrontation have been criticized by people all the time. He has talent, but it always makes people feel that his talent has not exploded-not that he can't explode, but that he doesn't seem to want to explode.

Of course, Wiggins is just a rookie, still very young, and people are willing to give him more time. But seeing him being passed by Oladipo in one step, many people still couldn't help shaking their heads.

This defense is too inattentive.

In fact, this is not to blame for Wiggins. He is a rookie after all. He participated in the rookie competition for the first time. His previous understanding was based on the perspective of the audience. He instinctively felt that there was no need to take it too seriously.

But he forgot that this rookie game is different, and Oladipo doesn't think the same as him. As long as Ning Yi is there, Oladipo will not be serious.

One step past Wiggins, Oladipo rushed to the basket, pulled the bar against Gobert, and scored two points first.

After scoring the goal, Oladipo turned around, glanced at Ning Yi again, and then ran towards his own half.

"Heh." Sensing Oladipo's eyes, Ning Yi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled lightly. If it was last season, he would still have some psychological fluctuations, but not now.

In fact, for Ning Yi, participating in the rookie game is not very meaningful. Whether it is a second-year player like Oladipo or a first-year player like Wiggins, the overall strength of Ning Yi After reaching level 9, they are no longer at the same level as Ning Yi.

Ning Yi, with level 9 strength, has enough confidence to crush any player in this match.

So Ning Yi didn't care too much about Oladipo's provocation, but Ning Yi still responded in action. A counter-run to get the ball from Schroeder was not called a pick-and-roll, it was just a dry pull The three-pointer was so quick and urgent that Pope, who was defending him, didn't have time to react. He only heard a "swish", and the ball went into the net hollow.

The score is 3:2.

Ning Yi turned around with a calm expression, without any fluctuations, as if the ball was not shot by him.

This is a kind of demeanor, a well-thought-out momentum, which shocked the hearts of all the rookies. Oladipo's pupils constricted, and even his face changed.

It's just one ball, but it gives everyone the feeling that if Ning Yi wants to, he can easily score the second and third.
