Chapter 202 The rookie game... is not an exhibition game!(2/2)
Of course there are people in the league who can restrain Wang Zelin, but they definitely don't include the rookies in front of them.
"Looks like I'm going to lose to that big stupid fish...that's all, I'll only get a few nags at most!"
Barkley's team counterattacked, and Anthony prepared to ask for the ball inside, but Irving ignored it. The gorgeous Clossover and his continuous high-speed disguise came to the left side of the paint area and made a turn-over jump shot.
The operation was as fierce as a tiger's and caused a burst of exclamation from the fans. We have to admit that Irving's enjoyment of playing is indeed top-notch in the league.
When I look at the results... I'm so angry that I'm striking!
This wave~ This wave is a tribute to idols, and the Mamba Mentality is over.
Vucevic looked at the basketball bouncing high and had no intention of jumping. He raised his hands high to catch the ball.
It's just an exhibition match!
Is it possible that there are still people who can't compete with him?
"What?"
Just as he thought this, a figure rushed in quickly and took off the rebound first, causing the fans to exclaim again.
"The rookie games seem to be different these days!"
"It seems like it's serious..."
"It's serious. Except for the King of China, if you look at the positions and reactions of the other players on O'Neal's team, how could the rookie games in previous years be so serious at the beginning?"
"Wuhu... So this game is interesting to watch!"
The fans became excited and stared at the field seriously.
On the field, O'Neal's team launched a fast break counterattack. Lillard and Will Barton were worthy of being teammates. They cooperated tacitly and reacted quickly. The moment Wang Zelin was about to charge, they rushed towards Barkley's half from both sides.
"ah!!!"
Wang Zelin shouted and performed a quarterback pass that ran across the field.
"Well done!"
Lillard caught the ball at a 45-degree angle from the left three-point line and pointed his left hand to the sky. Will Barton understood and took big steps forward. A real man never looks back.
"Snapped!"
"Bang!"
Will Barton successfully completed the alley-oop.
By this time, everyone could see that this was definitely not an exhibition match.
During the other half, Owen frowned, but soon relaxed and became more and more excited.
This is how you should fight!
In fact, Irving is not willing to play any exhibition games... he wants to win!
However, over the years, the first half and even the first three quarters of rookie games have been out-and-out performance time, and this has become an unspoken and unspoken rule.
This is true even for the All-Star Game.
Although Irving is still ambitious now, he is not as arrogant and self-centered as he was later.
Before he made that three-pointer, Irving was quite rational most of the time, so he did not choose to break the unspoken rules.
Now, Wang Zelin is the first to stand up and break the rules, showing his cards right from the start.
"Labour and management don't want to play any exhibition games, labor and management want to win!"
Irving couldn't ask for this kind of attitude.
Next round.
Irving advanced to the whole court and was about to hand it over to Vucevic, but found that Tyler Zeller was very close to him, with one hand raised high, interfering with Vucevic's receiving route.
Owen frowned slightly: Uh... Then I'll do it myself!
"Pull away!"
Irving made a gesture and then decisively played singles.
Facing Lillard's defense, he changed his appearance and then accelerated his sprint. Of course, this was not a stupid straight-line breakthrough, there was a change of rhythm in the middle.
Then he made a sudden stop and shook Lillard away, successfully broke into the paint, faced Wang Zelin's defense, roared, and took off to pull the lever.
"Bang!"
Um?
A loud noise came from behind, and Wang Zelin looked down and realized that the basketball in Irving's hand had long since disappeared.
No, the basketball should be behind me now.
Turning around, the person who completed the dunk was Anthony Davis.
"Wow, the first cooperation between the two top picks in this game is really exquisite!"
Houston commentator David Meader shouted excitedly.
When the person landed, Owen's eyes were sharp and he was bursting with frightening momentum.
"Man, your sneak attack strategy is very good, but don't forget that strength on the court is the most powerful thing!"
After Owen finished speaking, he left.
Sneak attack?
Wang Zelin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It seems that the serious attitude that I led the team to show is very different from the previous rookie game teams, and Irving regarded it as a winning strategy!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Zelin was inexplicably misunderstood, and Wang Zelin didn't take it to heart.
Just like Irving said: Strength is respected on the court!
…
"Dayao, youth is good! If it weren't for the damn injuries, the inside combination of you and Da Wang would definitely be invincible in the international arena!"
Director Zhang suddenly turned his head and said to Yao Ming.
Yao Ming was touched in his heart. If he had not retired, maybe... Then he shook his head and chuckled: "Hahaha, it's just a hypothesis after all. The world is dominated by young people now. I have Zelin in the national team. I'm relieved!"
"It's a pity after all!" Director Zhang sighed and did not continue to delve into this issue.
The reason why Yao Ming retired early.
To put it mildly, it is Yao Ming who has the words "Patriotism and serving the country diligently!"
To put it bluntly, it means that when I came to the Blue League, I didn’t know how to cherish Yao Ming.
Yao Ming is undoubtedly a special case. I am afraid that no other basketball player in the world can be found in the same situation as him.
First, in the NBA, you play an average of 70 games per season, with more than 32 minutes of playing time in each game.
Secondly, I have to return to China every summer to prepare for the national team. Small competitions are okay, such as the World Championships, Olympic Games and other world competitions, and the preparation time is often as long as 3 to 4 months.
Third, as the core of the national team, Yao Ming averages 40 minutes per game in some important games, which is higher than the NBA.
The fourth is also the most critical point.
Even excluding the time when injuries meant he was unable to play, this situation still lasted for 7 years.
Needless to say, the American Dream Team is a gathering of big names. The typical representative is Kobe Bryant, who has only been training for the Dream Team for less than two weeks.
Even international players such as Gasol and Rammstein receive much more rest time than Yao Ming.
Everyone in the industry knows these reasons, and Yao Ming doesn't want to mention any of the sacrifices he made in the past.
However, thanks to what Director Zhang said, Yao Ming became more determined: he must protect Wang Zelin and not let the latter follow his old path.
…
Back on the court, the first quarter of the game has ended, and O'Neal's team leads Barkley's team by 6 points at 35:29.
In any game during the regular season, such a score would undoubtedly be extremely high. The two teams must have a smooth offensive rhythm to achieve such a high score.
But if it were placed in a rookie game, such a score would be very, very rare.
In previous games, the final score was almost always 140, 150 or more, and 40 in a single quarter was even worse.
After watching too many water-filled scores in various exhibition games, aesthetic fatigue will eventually occur. It is rare to see such a high-quality rookie game, which made many fans say it is addictive.
