Thanks to this arrangement, Anthony became a teammate for the first time. Because he was not selected for the Star Race, it is conceivable that James will definitely do his best in this rookie challenge.
In the first year, besides Anthony and James, the other three starters are Kirk? Hinrich Dwayne? Wade and Chris? Kaman Anthony and Hinrich became teammates again after the competition in the draft, which is what really excites Anthony compared with competing with James.
Because Anthony and James shine in the first-year team, but compared with the second-year team, Yao and Stoudemire are not too much, plus Boozer and Ginobili, two powerful experts, which can be said to be very tacit.
What’s more interesting is that last year’s rookie challenge replaced Ginobili in the Clippers guard Marco? Jarric, this time, the second-year players were selected for the second-year team again, and they were also the starting point guards.
The player who once hit Anthony with a fractured hand, this time his opponent is opposite Anthony again.
Because of the strong performance of former Anthony, Starlight Glimmer and the feud between Anthony and Jaritch, the game was full of people, which is a miracle in the history of the league.
The two coaches in the city competition are also quite intriguing. In one year, the team actually chose Doug, a commentator now. Collins and in the second season, the head coach of the team was actually the main coach of the Nuggets Cooper, which surprised everyone.
However, no matter if the slot count game was not originally noted, it was a showdown at the Staples Exhibition.
And the scene was packed. This time, there was no home and guest team, and the fans on the scene supported whoever they wanted. Of course, there were commentators. One commentator of this game was naturally the famous Buckley, but this time his partner was changed to the current center of the Los Angeles Lakers, shaquille? O’ Neill, two players with very funny talents, is already eager to try at the moment.
"Du!"
With the referee’s whistle, Camby and Yao jumped up from the same place and the 24-year nba rookie challenge was officially played! to be continued
Chapter one hundred and seventy-one Than dunk
To say Kaman is tall and burly, but in addition to these characteristics, there is an equally remarkable feature, that is, slow. This jump ball is faster than him, so it is not fast, but he can be slower. As a result, there is no doubt that Yao grabbed the ball from his head.
Yao’s jump ball sophomore team got the first attack opportunity.
There are not so many tactics in the temporary formation of the Star Game. For the contestants, it depends on the mutual understanding and personal ability of playing IQ.
So is the Star Race, and so is the rookie challenge.
The ball fell into Ginobili’s hands soon after it was photographed by Yao. The "demon knife" coordinated a quick flight on the outside and gave it to Stoudemire.
One of the characteristics of this kind of game is that the second-year team players are more or less adapted to the star game atmosphere, but the first-year team players will work hard because they are just entering the league and want to show their defense at this time, even James can’t avoid it.
At the moment, defending Stoudemire is James. He sinks his plate and sticks to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire didn’t do much either. He just turned around and shot at random. The shot crashed into the basket.
James defended Stoudemire and was about to turn around to grab the rebound, but at this moment Stoudemire reacted even faster than him. He jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound before James and then pulled it up, which was a slam dunk.
"bang!"
As soon as there was a muffled sound, stapp Arena suddenly burst into a burst of applause. Stoudemire lived up to the title of bully, and this dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere.
James Nye shook his head at the moment. After all, he played as a small forward, and Stoudemire was famous for his quick play. Naturally, he was very disadvantaged in this counterpoint.
However, the game was of a performance nature, so neither side cared. Hinrich controlled the ball and pushed it forward. After that, he handed the ball to Wade and then ran around the baseline. At this time, Anthony and James cut the line left and right.
Wade and James have been good friends since the draft, so now they consciously threw the ball to James, who broke through the defense. Stoudemire deliberately let James dunk directly and successfully, and the fans on the scene were once again ignited by the dunk.
James took a deliberate look at Anthony after dunking, hoping to find a trace of envy and jealousy in his face, but to his disappointment, Anthony smiled at him at the moment, which seemed to praise him for his beautiful dunking. He was embarrassed for a moment.
Dunk every game and the round ended in a tie of 22.
Looking back, the sophomore team still handed the ball to Stoudemire, but this time James held his breath and the Stoudemire turned the basket and was disturbed. This time, the shot failed to continue to hit the ball and was caught by Line Kaman.
Kaman caught the ball and threw it directly to Hinrich, who controlled the ball, and Anthony, who was used to the fast break in the Nuggets, was already an early fast break
Hinrich was worse for Anthony than for appreciate each other. Now Anthony has made a name for himself in the league, and he admires him even more. At this moment, he just threw the ball out without thinking.
Anthony has already rushed to the backcourt of the second-year team, stepping on the ball for three steps, and directly making a signature 36-degree turn dunk at the place one step away from the free throw line.
Around, the spotlights flashed one after another, watching Anthony turn around like a gyro, and then pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the fans at the scene burst into a mountain shout and tsunami shout, which was bigger than the dunks of Stoudemire and James.
"Whoa, whoa, Melo, it’s a great loss that he didn’t take part in the star dunk contest. I bet he will win the final championship if he takes part in the competition!" Looking at Anthony’s 36-degree dunk, Buckley shook his shiny big head and said with a big grin.
"It is true that this competition is doomed to be dim without Melo and me!" O’ Neill is also quite sigh with emotion said
"What?" Buckley turned his head at the tip of his ear and asked, "shaquille, did you just say you were going to take part in the dunk contest?"
"No, no, I turned down the invitation as much as Melo," O ‘Neill said with a straight face.
"True or false? The league invited you to participate in the dunk contest? " Buckley said it with a look of disbelief, as if to verify the truth of his words. He went on to say, "I would rather believe that Tim was invited to participate in the three-point contest than that the league invited you to participate in the dunk contest."
"Ahem … Charles, you look down on me …" O ‘Neill deliberately showed an angry look.
"No, I didn’t. I think if you go to the dunk contest, you have to dunk once and it must be the last one. Otherwise, if you smash the basket as soon as you go, how can others play?" Buckley said with a smile
"Ha ha …" O ‘Neill burst into a hearty laugh and finally Nye said, "Well, I admit that I lied just now. The league said that they didn’t want to repair the basket during the dunk contest. Although they intended to invite me, they finally put their thoughts in their stomachs."
"Ha ha see finally admit it …" Buckley laughed at this time as if it were a trick.
However, O ‘Neill didn’t care and went on saying, "If I take part in the dunk contest, even Melo or Carter will take part in the competition, I will force them to win the championship."
Buckley couldn’t help saying "Just blow it …" when he saw O ‘Neill’s assurances.
O ‘Neill went on to say, "Because I will buckle all the baskets in their game, so that the people behind me can play in the game, and the champion will naturally be me. Haha …"
O’ Neill said and burst out laughing. He looked at him in Bacchus and kept shaking his head.
The two big fat humors in the comment box ridiculed the situation, but compared with the situation before, there was a fluctuation.
The first-year team led by Anthony and James played a wave of 1:** at this time, it was already 1:2 ahead. Among them, Anthony contributed six points and James contributed four points. Everyone in the second-year team threw one or two balls, but after Stoudemire scored the second offensive rebound, all the shooting departments ended while the iron was hot. The offensive feel of the second-year team did not seem to be very good.
The rookie challenge is a performance competition, and it has been played for about 4 minutes now. The two sides quickly made personnel adjustments. Almost all four people, including Anthony, went to the May 51 ST grade team except James.
In the second grade, there was also a personnel adjustment. In addition to Stoudemire, the team also changed from the Warriors Mike? Deng Liwei is from Pistons "Wang" Prince from SuperSonics and Murray from Nuggets.
To say that there is still a big difference between the first-year team’s main force and the substitute strength, the substitute here is Haslem Hayes, who are not many players in their respective teams.
The second-year team directly dunked a big shot when it came to the line. The second-year team took the second ball. The first-year team went to Haslem to cast iron, and the result was fast and fast. It was also in the basket of the first-year team that a big dunk was completed.
After dunking, he beat his chest like a beast and shouted, perfectly interpreting his usual state in the game.
One minute, he contributed two dunks in succession, and after the second dunk, he was still so arrogant. The fans at the scene suddenly got high, whistling with fans calling for a moment, and Staples was very lively.
Anthony sat on the sidelines watching the performance and burst out laughing. To say that this kind of player is really suitable for this kind of performance game, he is indeed a beast.
But it was then that Anthony suddenly remembered that one thing seemed to be suffering from testicles in middle age in history? After pill cancer, it will go straight to the truce. If so, the Nuggets will really suffer.
It should be easy to solve the problem that cancer is a tumor in the early stage after the end of the star, and it should be easy to go to the hospital for examination of an early tumor
Just as Anthony was thinking about this, the fans suddenly burst into applause again. It turned out that "Xiao Wang" Prince hit a super-long three-pointer again in the second grade after the pick-and-roll. The first and second grade pairs directly hit the first grade team with a 7:
However, the game is still going on. After two consecutive unsuccessful attacks, the first-year team finally thought that James was still there and handed the ball to James for singles.
James made a quick breakthrough in the face of Stoudemire, but Stoudemire was not slow. He slapped James with a slap when he took off at the basket.
The referee on the sidelines didn’t blow the foul ball of the first-year team.
Counting this attack, the first-year team has not scored for four minutes in a row, which is to be continued.
Chapter one hundred and seventy-two Hatred and enmity
Stoudemire experienced that the James basket was still a first-year team ball, but there were four seconds left in the game. Was it Jarvis who served the ball? Hayes
James made a pick-and-roll with Haslem at the moment, and then quickly ran out to Hayes. Ma found him running, and the ball in his hand flew directly towards him.
But at this moment, Prince’s keen gap came to Hayes’ goal, and his intention was almost to slam it against James’ side.
