Chapter 199 All-Star Rookie Game (5/5)
At 10 a.m. the next morning, the new Amway Center in Orlando was already full.
"Warcraft" Dwight Howard is still strong. The attendance rate of the stadium is not low. In addition, the All-Star event has already been full.
And unlike on weekdays, almost everyone has a smile on their faces. All-Star weekends, just have fun and enjoy it!
The main arrangement of this morning was the rookie match (the celebrity match was held in the training ground of the dunk contest), and fans naturally looked forward to it.
There were 20 minutes of warm-up before the game, and the members of the two teams also communicated while warming up.
Whether it is a main or rookie game, the players come from different teams, which means that most of them are playing for the first time.
This kind of communication between each other is very necessary. Although it is an entertaining event, no one will want to make consecutive pass mistakes after playing.
On the O'Neal side, in addition to Walker, Jeremy Lin and Tang Tian also know each other.
"Lin Crazy" swept across the United States in February, and they were all yellow people, so there were many topics of communication between the two.
After the warm-up, the starters on both sides made their debut one after another.
On the other side of the Barkley team, Irving, Paul George, Evan Turner, Derek Williams and Cousins started.
On the O'Neal side, Rubio, Knight, Tang Tian, Griffin and Monroe started.
After the game began, Cousins quickly became the most shining person on the court.
He completely pressed Monroe and Griffin in the inside, and scored 10 points after four minutes of the game.
While showing his outstanding strength, he also helped Barkley lead by 18-7.
Miller and Brynn were almost blowing Cousins to the sky on the sidelines.
Tang Tian didn't get any chance, and O'Neal's team was basically Griffin and Knight, both of whom were not very efficient.
The head coach of O'Neal's team is Steve Cole. After seeing that there is no advantage in the match, he replaced Knight and Griffin with Walker and Tristan Thompson.
On the Barkley side, George and Derek Williams were also replaced by Klay Thompson and Hayward to rest.
O'Neal's ball rights, Rubi's Olympic ball came to the frontcourt, Walkerdo did not take the ball, so he reached out to wave to Tang Tian.
Tang Tianxin understood it, and when it comes to a high position, he would be a pick-and-roll.
The pick-and-roll substitution, Walker misplaced the position and beat Turner, and a sudden change of direction directly snatched a layup from Turner.
Cooperation from the Genmini stars of Kangda.
For some fans who also watch NCAA, this scene is really too familiar.
O'Neal's offense, Irving broke through with the ball, but Walker was really defensive, and Irving failed to score a layup with a change of direction.
There was another cheer at the scene, and they suddenly realized that they still liked to watch such real games.
Rubio passed the ball to Monroe but failed to make a move, but Thompson grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to Walker on the outside. Walker continued to look for Tang Tian to pick-and-roll.
The opposite side is changed, and Walker will play Turner again.
Turner obviously tried to defend at this time, but Walker's speed was much faster than he thought. He was squeezed past again, and Walker made a layup.
It’s the cooperation of Kangda Gemini again!
Cheers burst into tears at the scene.
Tang Tian and Walker are playing the All-Star Rookie Game as Kang Da!
Tang Tian and Walker high-fives. He encouraged Walker yesterday, because it was just the rookie season, and on the other hand, Walker also needed such an opportunity.
In the NBA, the ball rights are a very critical part. For example, Durant is also a rookie-like star.
The Bobcats' record is poor, which also means Walker will have a lot of ball rights.
Only when you have the ball rights can you find problems on the court and have room for adjustment can you make progress.
Walker faced sophomore Turner in these two rounds.
You can feel his speed, explosion and even judgment from the fight, which has improved compared to the offseason, and the improvement is very large.
Cousins caused Monroe to foul at the basket, and one of two free throws continued to help Barkley maintain an 8-point lead.
There was a substitution on the sidelines at this time, and Jeremy Lin replaced Rubio.
Jeremy Lin played the pick-and-roll with Monroe, and then split the ball and passed it to Tang Tian, who ran out of the open position without the ball.
Tang Tian caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
"Swish!"
The three-pointer took off the knife.
His three-pointers in the regular season were extremely accurate. In this rookie game with low defensive intensity, he also made every shot.
There were constant whistles at the scene, and Walker and Tang Tian, the two Kangda Gemini, joined hands to fight a 7-1 offensive, narrowing the gap to 5 points.
Barkley's offense, Thompson's pick-and-roll running, Irving's hand-swinging pass, and the two of them mirrored the attacks of Tang Tian and Walker.
"Bang!"
However, Tang Tian was too familiar with them, so he saved Irving's pass in advance and broke it!
After intercepting the ball, he didn't stop and threw the ball forward. Walker had a clear understanding of the ball and made a quick break. After receiving the ball, he rushed to the frontcourt and made a layup for another 2 points.
The score difference continued to narrow to 3 points.
Walker's defense, Tang Tian's steal, and the intensity of the game on the court immediately increased, and the players on both sides began to get on their bodies.
The fans at the scene also kept making noises.
The All-Star Game is an entertainment-oriented exhibition game, but for fans, they still prefer to watch the real game.
And for the exhibition match, some of them will be excited after the intensity on the court.
Irving showed his big heart ability and made a three-pointer against Walker's defense, helping Barkley temporarily stabilize the situation.
Walker made significant progress with the Bobcats, and Irving’s progress with the Cavaliers is also visible to the naked eye.
Walker held the ball in the frontcourt, and he called Tang Tian to continue to break through the basket with the pick-and-roll. Turner couldn't defend it, so Irving chose to return to defend the ball.
While he was walking, a pass that didn't look at people stuffed the ball to the outside!
Tang Tian appeared at the end of the pass route, and after catching the ball, he raised his hand and threw it.
"Swish!"
Throw it up!
Tang Tian scored two consecutive three-pointers!
Due to height, Walker's poor passing vision has limited his ability to pass.
But in fact, he didn't look back at the ball, and the passing of the ball was completely a tacit understanding!
The tacit understanding between the two stars of Kangda!
Thompson missed the three-pointer from the frontcourt. Turning around, Walker hit the difficult layup at the basket and scored again.
Irving failed to make a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll. Looking back, Walker and Tang Tian cooperated again. Tang Tian's off-ball run received Walker's pass from the bottom corner and scored another three-pointer!
The two teamed up to play a super attack wave of 17 to 4, helping the team overtake the score 24 to 22!
O'Neal's team has Griffin and Monroe, and Rubio and Lin Crazy on the outside, and he is actually very famous.
Chapter completed!
