"Clang", the second-grade team's offense was fruitless, and Wu Feng once again took the backcourt rebound.
"Hmph" groaned, and Wu Feng staggered, fortunately, he took several small steps before he could barely stop his body.
Demar DeRozan suddenly popped up and directly knocked Wu Feng out from the side. He just passed Stephen Curry. His body's center of gravity had not been adjusted yet. It was a blessing that he had not flew out of bounds because of such a violent impact.
Seeing this scene, the referee naturally blew up the defensive foul of the second-grade team.
Although the All-Star Weekend games are mainly entertainment, sometimes both sides will play very seriously in the Rookie Challenge and All-Star Games.
Generally speaking, the referee will also call the punishment at his discretion. If he can, he will not call the punishment. After all, the rookie challenge is not the regular season, nor the playoffs.
However, Demar DeRozan's foul just now was too obvious. If he didn't yell, the fans at the scene would definitely boo.
The reason why Demar DeRozan is so impulsive is that Wu Feng has been in the limelight too frequently recently.
Wu Feng has frequently assisted in recent times, so the second-year team has significantly strengthened its defense against Wu Feng. As long as the ball reaches his hands, at least two players will come forward to double-team. Wu Feng doesn't care much about these. The more defensive players he attracts, the easier it will be for his teammates to play.
Mike Budenhozer saw the high-intensity defense of the second-year team against Wu Feng, so he immediately asked other players to come forward to respond.
"Clang", John Wall's three-pointer missed, and the rest just now did not make him feel regained his touch. The urgent defense of the second-year team made him lose the rhythm of shooting. The two consecutive blackshots made his expression look a little ugly.
Dejuan Blair easily took off the defensive rebound and quickly passed the ball to Stephen Curry's hand.
At this time, the second-year team players had already quickly and quickly. The pass was not accurate, but they were very good. At this time, the basket was two-on-two, and Stephen Curry rose from the ground near the free throw line. However, Landley Fields blocked his position with his excellent defensive consciousness.
The wrist suddenly sank, and the ball hit the floor and quickly bounced to the inside. At this time, James Harden had already slipped into the inside. With a false alarm, James Harden pulled the position of the attack, moved and moved, and gently raised his left foot, and the whole person soared into the air in the narrow space under the basket. He hooked his wrist and the ball slid through an arc while rising.
The first-grade team has always maintained a high level in defense. This offense has made the second-grade team almost buzzer-beat. The players seem very skillful and tacit in the round-defense transition. It is precisely because of this that in the third quarter when the second-grade team is in full swing, the first-grade team not only did not be hit by the opponent, but instead widened the score difference in a closer approach. The score difference of 94:85 and 9 points is also the most huge score difference in the whole game.
In addition to Wesley Matthews' performance for a period of time after playing in the first quarter, the first-year team's defense against the second-year team was very successful. Ty Gibson made three of ten shots, Stephen Curry made two of seven shots, and Wesley Matthews made six of twelve shots.
It is precisely their successful defense that allows the first-year team to always maintain their advantage against their opponents in terms of scores.
In this game, both sides played more and more seriously, and the nature of young players was clearly visible.
However, since this is a rookie challenge, the referee's call tonight is very relaxed. If you can, you won't blow it.
Wu Feng broke through with the ball, and Stephen Curry failed to steal the ball. However, the matter was not resolved. Stephen Curry, who lost the attack, tapped the ground with his left foot, and quickly retreated two steps, blocking Wu Feng again.
Wu Feng secretly admired such excellent reaction ability.
"I am worthy of being able to participate in this year's skills challenge." Wu Feng murmured.
Wu Feng did not get too entangled with Curry, and quickly handed the ball to Landley Fields, made a pick-and-roll with his teammates, and ran back towards the right bottom line.
Landley Fields suddenly stepped forward with his left foot, and after a realistic fake move tricked the opponent away, he hung his hands high, and the ball flew over Demar DeRozan's head.
"Bang", a huge palm appeared between Blake Griffin and the basketball. Dejuan Blair suddenly broke out from the basket, blocking Blake Griffin's pace with his own steps, and easily took the ball.
Mike Budenhozer sighed helplessly. From this point of view, Landley Fields is not as good as John Wall in terms of reading game ability.
The ball just now should have been handed over to Wu Feng at the bottom line, rather than Blake Griffin at the basket. Under the attack of two inside players of the second-year team, Blake Griffin's range of movement was already very limited, and such an obvious intention to pass the ball was undoubtedly a stupid decision.
"Return to defense!" Wu Feng yelled, and the first-grade team immediately entered the defensive state from offensive state.
Looking at the basketball in Dejuan Blair's hand, Wu Feng secretly felt fortunate that his passing ability was average, otherwise it would be another fast break opportunity.
But at this moment, a very funny scene appeared on the court. Several players of the second-year team made rapid progress, leaving only Dejuan Blair alone in the half. As time passed by little, no teammates stopped to catch the ball, only helpless control of the ball.
With De Juan Blair's big bones, it's awkward to see how he controls the ball on the court. Many home fans couldn't help laughing out loud.
In the end, it was Wesley Matthews who stepped forward to relieve his embarrassment.
The fans at the scene all burst into laughter and said, "This is indeed a performance that can only be seen on the All-Star weekend."
The second-year team head coach Lawrence Frank sighed helplessly. This was originally a good opportunity to play fast break, but there have been such dramatic changes one after another, and the first-year team players have already entered the defensive state.
Stephen Curry made a hasty three-pointer and hit the upper edge of the rebound, sending the basketball to a high altitude with huge elasticity, which was five or six meters high. There were about ten eyes on the court looking at the basketball flying in the air, judging the landing point of the basketball.
The ball eventually turned to the second-year team, and the ball fell on the floor between Wesley Matthews and Stephen Curry. With less than a meter of space, there were no other first-year team players around. Several second-year team players ran quickly, and Dejuan Blair also stood near the free throw line early to support.
However, suddenly a figure flew over quickly. Before they could react, they blew past the two of them like a whirlwind, and just took away the basketball on the floor.
Stephen Curry quickly reacted and quickly chased the figure, but this time his speed seemed to be less than half an advantage, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther away. Finally, when he reached the three-point line, he stopped helplessly and watched his opponent easily pick the basket under the basket.
After succeeding in the offense, Wu Feng flew hard, and the home fans screamed at Wu Feng's performance.
"It's too fast. Chinese Wu's speed is so fast that even Curry can't catch up with him." A fan exclaimed.
"Yes, I don't believe it before rumored how fast Wu was in China, but now I see it with my own eyes, it's really incredible!" said another fan.
"In addition to his amazing speed, Wu has many other abilities, such as dunks, passes, blocks, etc. He is simply an example of omnipotence." A hardcore fan of Wu Feng praised.
…………
There was a lot of discussion on the spot, and the protagonist of the discussion was naturally Wu Feng.
When other young players on the court heard the fans' discussions, their arrogant and arrogant nature immediately emerged, and they all wanted to show their skills and prove that they were not inferior to Wu Feng.
Stephen Curry, who had always played against Wu Feng before, was the first of these players.
Stephen Curry controlled the basketball and slowly passed the half. He skillfully controlled the basketball in his right hand. With his outstanding physical fitness, Stephen Curry forced his way past Landley Fields and made a quick stop jump shot. The moment the ball shot, the referee's whistle sounded.
"drop"
"Swish"
Stephen Curry's shooting movements were still very relaxed, and the ball steadily entered the basket, and then he had time to pay attention to the penalty just now.
But what made Stephen Curry depressed was that the referee's shot he just called was invalid because he had pushed people during the offense.
Such a penalty made him feel a little unacceptable.
But considering that this is just a rookie challenge, Stephen Curry had to give up.
"I can't stand it. Since it's a rookie challenge, why do I yell so harshly?" Back at his half, Stephen Curry complained to his teammates next to him in depressed manner.
"Who knows? Tonight's referee always seems to favor the first-year team." Wesley Matthews and Stephen Curry said.
The second-grade team members sighed. Fortunately, this is not the regular season. If it is the regular season, they might have gone wild.
Wu Feng excitedly gave Landley Fields a thumbs up to the meritorious service. There was no problem with the referee's penalty just now, but he was very careful in the defense.
"Landry, you are so good." Wu Feng patted Landley Fields on the shoulder and praised him.
"Thank you, that's what I'm good at." Randley Fields replied with a smile.
"This guy is really good at creating offensive fouls. No wonder I was killed by this guy in the last time he fought with the Knicks, and we lost that game." After looking at Landley Fields, Wu Feng really didn't expect that this turtle and white young guy was so smart, or he was cunning.
