Chapter 67 The first-year punch (5.1k(1/2)
On the evening of the 16th, American time, the All-Star appetizers were finally served on the dining table.
Although it was just a rookie challenge, the stars on the sidelines were still shining...
The four brothers of Banana Boat and one Bosh all sat in the seats close to the side of the court.
As the host, Paul must be present. Lebang came for his little brother Daniel Gibson, Bosh came for Jamario Moon, and Guagua came for Li Ke's jokes.
As for Wade, he had nothing to go and could only follow the butts of the first four.
The three Celtic giants also came, and the three of them sat next to each other in the front seats, pulling Rondo to chat.
This talks about the importance of Rondo to the Big Three. Originally, Anji had already hollowed out his assets in order to form the Big Three, and many positions were empty. If Perkins had not added the center and Rondo had added the point guard, what if the Big Three had not been added?
Therefore, at this stage, the three giants of Green Kai are very supportive of Rondo and are taking care of this second-grade young man.
Lauren Jackson also came, and the old Australian aunt also greeted Li Ke, who appeared in advance to warm up.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to cheer you up, I'm just here to see your strength."
"And then see if you have any chance of getting involved in NBA?"
"Yes, that's it."
While warming up, Li Ke was looking for the big goods on the side of the court. He saw the four brothers of Banana Boat, Gabosh, and the three giants of Green Kai. Even Boss Qiao in the private room was caught by Li Ke when he walked out and waved.
He also saw Paul Gasol, but did not see Kobe, saw McGrady and Carter, who were unable to play in the main game due to injury, but did not see Yao.
"Bryant and Yao Da are really busy!"
Kobe is indeed very busy, and he started a round-trip, various commercial endorsements, and alliance charity activities.
Yao, he took on a side job and was already sitting in a media room in the New Orleans Arena.
Putting on the headphones and headsets, Yao heard the voices of Director Zhang and Yu Jia far away on the other side of the ocean.
"Today, we have invited Yao Yao to come here. Yao Yao is our commentary guest in this rookie challenge. Welcome!"
Papa, shattered applause, Dayao greeted the camera with a smile.
Then, Yu Jia asked Yao to evaluate the two Chinese players in this rookie game.
The evaluation of Li Ke is very simple, just a few words and tell the truth:
"Let's talk about Li Ke first, Li Ke. He spent both high school and college in the United States. He is different from those domestic forward and guards. His playing style is more American. His physical fitness is very strong and his various dunks, but he also has the advantages of some domestic players and his shooting ability is outstanding. I think he will be better than me if he develops in the future."
It is not easy to tell the truth about Alien, nor is it easy to play fake role models and fake models. This requires finding a balance point. Old Shanghai Yao is so smart. I thought about it:
"As for Ah Lian, he went to a team that may be a bit wrong, and his development was not smooth, but his style characteristics are played, projection, footwork, etc. If you continue to work hard in the future, it will not be difficult to gain a foothold in NBA..."
Here, the old senior Yao commented on Li Ke and Ah Lian, and on the other hand, Li Ke has already started socializing in the New Orleans Arena.
Lauren Jackson was the first to say hello to him, and then he was called by the Banana Boat Brothers, hugged Lebang and Bosh indifferently, chatted with Wade about the day after tomorrow's main competition, and then Brother Pao sent an invitation to let Li Ke attend the party before the main competition.
Finally, there is Melon: "Fight well, Chinese actress best!"
Li Ke smiled: "Okay, American sweetheart."
Guagua:???
That’s right, American Sweetheart is the nickname that Li Ke found for Guagua that is more suitable for him. Are you not the American actress? Are you not the Melon? Then let’s combine it, American Sweetheart.
If you weren't afraid of really annoying Guagua, Li Ke would have to give Guagua a suggestion: go back and dye your hair, sweetheart, the hair color of American sweetheart should be golden!
In fact, there is another one. The skin color of American sweethearts is white, but this one cannot be exported. Li Ke still knows the importance of it.
After mocking him, he ran away. It was really exciting to step on the horse. Li Ke was then called by the three giants Lu Kai.
Pierce asked: "Are you confident, Sheldon?"
"Yes? No? Don't know."
"You can't do this..." kg was a little anxious. They watched a rookie challenge. What they wanted to see was not a game where the second-grade team crushed the first-grade team, at least they had to go back and forth.
"Sheldon, you have to show the momentum you were in the North Shore Garden that day!"
"Iron Blood?"
"Yes, iron-blooded!"
"Ok, I understand..."
When Li Ke stepped onto the court, the big train Lamarcus Aldridge grabbed him and Xiao Du: "Hey, juniors, are you ready to lose?"
"You're too anxious, Lamarcus!"
"Yes, yes, Sheldon is right, Lamarcus, I think you have to prepare to lose this game."
"Then let's try it, Kevin, is your opponent me?"
"That's right!"
"Then Brandon, Sheldon will be handed over to you!"
Roy was named by the big train, and his eyes were intertwined with Li Ke.
The two actually had a fight. Before Lao Ai came, Li Ke made 6 of 20 shots, and then Roy made 4 of 13 shots. It was a typical game in which Li Ke and his opponent's head broke each other.
This is the second time Roy and Li Ke has fought. Not to mention anything else, the Mamba's soul is already burning, and Brandon Roy's fighting intention is rising.
As for Li Ke, his Mamba soul is also rising, but his brain still maintains a normal mindset. He reviewed Roy's style characteristics.
The offensive kaleidoscope is not strong without the ball. The strong one is the ability to have the ball, the ability to break through and cut into is excellent, the mid-range shot is very accurate, the explosion and the first step is very fast, but the knee problem is actually restricting Roy's explosion and the first step.
In daily play, Roy likes to hit the frame more than jump shots at high positions.
Therefore, defending Roy is definitely a difficult job. If Roy is in excellent condition, then Li Ke is equivalent to defending Kobe...
...
"Okay, the game is about to begin, let's take a look at the starters on both sides..."
On the court, Horford had already faced Bagnani, and Du's opponent was the Big Train. Brother Gay wanted to deal with him. Li Ke and Roy face to face, and Mike Conley was in the end to Rondo.
"Uh, Yao, who do you think is better, first-year team or second-year team?"
Coach Zhang threw the problem to Yao, because he was afraid that Yao would not have many opportunities to open his mouth after the game began.
Yao Yao was also very straightforward: "After the All-Star Rookie Championship was divided into first-grade vs second-grade, the second-grade won five consecutive victories, so..."
"So, are you more optimistic about the second-year team?"
"That's right."
"Hehe, then I am different from you from Coach Yu. We think that the 2006 draft is a typical young year. Apart from Roy, there are no outstanding players so far. However, after playing in the first grade for half a season, Li Ke and Durant have already appeared..."
When commenting, the position is relatively similar. Whether it is the Americans or the Central Five, it is already a common routine.
Director Zhang laughed, that Yao was standing opposite him, so he and Yu Jia didn't have to support the second-grade team in a fake way.
What are the best support for this second-year team? Roy? Big train? Not familiar with it, not familiar with it!
Yao could only go back six points and remain silent about this.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. The game begins. Let's take a look at the jump ball first..."
The match between Jumping Ball was the Big Train and Horford. When Horford jumped up and pushed the ball to the first grade side, the Big Train, who lost the Jumping Ball, immediately turned around and followed Xiao Du, who was fast-paced.
"The first-year team got the opening ball, let's see how they attack."
In the All-Star offense, Director Zhang and Yu Jia actually have no hope. No one will play any cooperation in the All-Star field, including this rookie game.
But the first-grade team started playing and cooperated.
Mike Conley took the ball to the frontcourt, and then Dula came out to catch the ball.
Li Ke shrank to the bottom corner. He watched Xiao Du play pick-and-roll with Kang Li. After taking it apart, the ball was already in Xiao Du's hand.
As for the second-grade team, they had no preparations for the pick-and-roll, and Rondo directly changed defense with the big train.
Then Xiao Du faced Rondo's breakthrough. Xiao Du was very fast, and Rondo's speed was not slow either.
But after following two steps, Xiao Du jumped up in front of Rondo and pulled out his hand.
Swish!
"Hey, the breakthrough and emergency stop jump shot after the pick-and-roll, this grade team played very beautifully at the start!"
Director Zhang sighed and Yao then followed: "Yes, Durant played very smartly in this ball. He had to make a few more steps when he played Aldridge, but it was different to play Rondo. Taking advantage of his height, he would just shoot directly."
Speaking of which, Yao Yao has a strong height advantage, and he often bullies his opponents by taking advantage of his height. The gap between him and Xiao Du is the difference between speed and flexibility.
226 Dayao, who has gained weight, is too bulky.
"The first-grade team is now recording first. Let's see how the second-grade team responds..."
For the second-grade team, they played not seriously. Rondo controlled the ball, and the big train leaned against Xiao Du in the low position and received the ball...
"Hey, kd, look at me hitting you in a low position!"
Then, the big train crushed Xiao Du one step at a low position.
After that, the first-grade team once again staged a scene without a ball. Horford made up for the past and attacked in a low post...
"Damn, is this a clamping attack?"
To be continued...
