Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Three

Another good news was revealed in Wu Huang's attack this time. Ross was in poor condition today. Less than 24 hours ago, the man had just finished a difficult away game. Last night, Dallas Airport delayed the take-off and landing due to heavy snow, which caused many unlucky guys not to get enough rest. It would be strange if he is in good condition now.

Soon, Ross did not expect Wu Huang's defensive strength on the offensive end, and was intercepted during the offensive and defensive transition.

After Wu Huang intercepted the ball, he immediately passed it to Evans who was about to get off the ground. The latter hit the first-grade team with one hand and scored two points. This was the first assist Wu Huang got today. Immediately afterwards, Wu Huang used the pick-and-roll cooperation with his old teammate Gibson on the offensive end to take the extra quick shot at the three-point line and hit a three-pointer in the game.

The first half lasted for three minutes, and what made the fans feel incredible was that the second-year team scored two points in the first offense, but did not score a single point in three minutes, which was not like a performance-oriented All-Star game.

In contrast, the first-grade team really gave the second-grade seniors a blow! After the opening game, they kept playing fast attacks after the offense and defense conversion, and their shooting percentage was extremely high. The scoreboards on the sidelines were constantly changing numbers. The first-grade team's scores quickly exceeded double digits.

The rules of the rookie challenge are different from the official matches, and are more similar to the rules of the game. The game is divided into two 20 minutes and two halves, each team has a 10-second long timeout and a 20-second short timeout in the first and second half. In addition, there are two mandatory commercial ad inter-spreading pauses in the first and second halfs, which are forced to be performed in 7 minutes and 14 minutes of the half. The player's foul behavior will be counted by the record station, but there are no 6 fouls leaving the court.

At 16th minute and 55th in the first half, the score was 13:2, and the first-year team led the second-year team by 11 points, but due to limited timeouts, Ewing did not request a timeout.

Wu Huang has contributed 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal in just three minutes. The process is like the plan he secretly came up with before the game. Except for the interception of the ball and passed it to Evans, most of his offenses were simple pick-and-roll cooperation with his inside teammates. Then he either attacked himself or passed it to the inside player who was pulled down. This is how his three assists were obtained.

Charles Barkley smiled and said, "It seems that the rookies brought the excitement before the game to the court. Hugo's performance was surprising. All the 13 points the first-year team scored were related to him. The sophomore made repeated mistakes at the beginning, Ross' performance was disappointing, and his offense and defense were both problematic."

Kenny Smith also said: "There are many outside players in the second-year team, and they keep making three-pointers, but these guys' shots are all waves. The shooting percentage is not satisfactory. After the game, only Garlinari made one shot, but since then they missed their shots frequently. The most important thing is that the inside with obvious height advantage cannot receive the pass, which makes their advantage a decoration."

These two are right. Ross' attack today is not high. Westbrook actually held more balls in the first few minutes before the game, but the second instructor of the Thunder obviously did not intend to cooperate with his inside teammates. Although he passed one goal to Ross and Garlinari, neither of them could throw the ball into it.

Although Ewing did not request a timeout, he stood on the sidelines and shouted to the team to play inside. The gorilla, who had rich coaching experience, had long seen that the guys on the other side wanted to play this game with them with real swords and guns. Now his team has lost the lead. At this time, he can no longer shoot uncontrollablely on the outside, and must play inside with a higher success rate.

But no one expected that the first-year team's inside line didn't have any face. De Juan Blair, who was 198m tall, actually used a front-line defense to deal with Lopez in the All-Star Game, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Yao Ming was so happy that he almost sprayed popcorn on the sidelines. This year's rookie game is really interesting. This defensive intensity has been rare in the past years.

De Juan Blair is only 198m tall, which is an inside line similar to Hayes. However, his arm span is more perverted than Hai Ye, and he is 22 years old, which makes him largely make up for his height defects, and his lower limbs are outstanding. His footsteps move quickly and his defense is very active. He is also a big killer if he uses it well.

Westbrook's passing ability was sloppy. He passed this ball into the inside according to Ewing's instructions, and his goal was Lopez, who had excellent low post skills.

But unfortunately, he obviously underestimated De Juan's defensive ability and his pair of ape arms in this ball. His lob was not able to hang over De Juan's head, but was stopped halfway.

Dejuan had a double-handed dunk at the basket before, and it was Wu Huang who passed the ball to him. The Spurs felt that Wu Huang, the All-Star Tender, did not fool him, and had already made up his mind that as long as he grabbed the rebound today, it would only pass it to Wu Huang.

When Wu Huang received the pass, the first-year team launched a fast break again. This time, Casby received the pass and layup, and Wu Huang got his fourth assist.

"The pass is beautiful, I believe you now, we can really beat them!" Casby didn't think they could beat the second-year team, but he played 15:2 in the opening game. All the first-year players now believe what Wu Huang said during the mobilization before the game. They really have the ability to beat the second-year team.

"So handsome, 15 points are all Hugo's contribution!"

"I must marry him, I want to give birth to him!"

"The most handsome guy in sports is not Beckham now, he should be Hugo!"

""

The second-year team led 15:2 at the beginning, and countless female fans began to be crazy again. Wu Huang could hear many female fans shouting at him on the court, which made his vanity satisfy unprecedentedly.

You were very embarrassed because of this. It was obviously too early to call a timeout for four minutes of the game, but the score on the field forced him to make the first tactical adjustment early. The top priority for the second-grade team is to score points, otherwise the consequences will be really unimaginable.

The second-year team requested a 10-second long timeout. Durant slapped his teammates one by one on the sidelines. Tristots did not make substitutions this timeout, just like Ewing was unwilling to call the timeout so early, substitutions should not be conducted so early.

However, the second-year team, which was behind in big scores, had to make personnel adjustments at this time. Ewing made a quick decision and replaced the tired Rose with Mayo, so that Westbrook could get back to No. 1 position.

After the timeout, the sophomore lineup became: Westbrook, Mayo, Garlinari, Beasley, and Lopez.

After the game started again, it was not Mayo who helped the second-year team find face. It was Gallinari. His three-pointer finally ended the scoring drought, but Gibson received a breakthrough pass from Wu Huang to jump shot immediately. Casby, known as Israel Yao Ming, followed by another dunk. The first-year rookies expanded their lead again 19:5.

Charles Barkley couldn't help but shake his head: "Hugo has already scored five assists. Do you guess he wants to get high scores or wants to get high assists today?"

Kenny Smith replied: "I think he wants to do a two-pronged approach. He scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists in less than five minutes of the game. Maybe he doesn't even plan to let go of rebounds. I dare bet with you that he will get a big triple-double again today."

In the subsequent competition, the first-year rookie team was unstoppable, and a simple pick-and-roll cooperation made the second-year team very anxious!

Westbrook's defense suddenly became timid today. Although his steps could keep up with Emperor Wu, he was often shaken and lost his center of gravity when facing fake moves. To put it bluntly, this is because the defensive end is not smart enough.

"You are weaker than when you met last time. Have you not even made any progress after so long?" Emperor Wu was embarrassed to speak out on such occasions. This was beyond Westbrook's expectation. The two of them formed a feud when they last met. They did not greet each other before the game today, so Emperor Wu naturally would not be embarrassed to speak at this moment.

Westbrook blushed for a moment. This time it was not because of shame, but because he was so angry that he was congested again. Westbrook's simple personality really couldn't think of how to hit this damn guy. He just started scolding him and couldn't speak, which was also difficult for him to get excited.

In fact, Westbrook's unpredictable breakthrough was related to the inside defense of the second-grade team. No one here could delay Wu Huang's breakthrough for him after he lost his position, so his secondary defense ability could not be reflected.

Among the four inside players of the second-year team, Lopez has always been criticized for defense at the Nets; so is Beasley. He is also a player who doesn’t use his brain to play; although Love’s rebounding is good, defense has always been his weakness; including Gasol, who has not yet played, both of them are large-tonnage inside players, and foot movement is his weakness. Therefore, the ability to assist in defense is a problem.

In contrast, the first-year team, Gibson and Dejuan's defensive attitude and defensive footsteps were completely out of the four-person street on the opposite side. They did not have the opponent's offensive ability, and they wanted to settle in the NBA with defense and rebounding.

At the 14th minute and 12th second in the first half, it was almost time to substitute. Wu Huang did not keep up with Westbrook's breakthrough on the defensive end this time. However, Gibson delayed his opponent in time and gave Wu Huang time to get back to the defensive position.

Westbrook failed to make a shot at the basket, and Dejuan grabbed his sixth rebound.

"Counterattack!" Wu Huang immediately turned around and got off the basketball.

The first-year team used fast attacks. Evans, who had been performing lukewarm today, kept up. Even Emperor Wu himself did not expect that the person he had been calculating did not actually have the intention to compete with him. Evans' personality was completely different from Westbrook. He seemed too mature and selfless, or his desire for honor was far less than that of players like Wu Emperor and Westbrook.

Although he is selfless in playing, Evans' fast break and cutting really helped Wu Huang. As long as Wu Huang can send the basketball to Evans who cut in, it will basically be an assist.

The Kings' new core technical ability is quite strange. His long-range shooting ability is not like a guard at all. It can be said that he basically has no three-point ability. He also has a mess of mid- and long-distance shooting. 6o% of the score comes from close shooting and shots at the basket. Such a shooting ratio is almost up to James.

However, Evans' finishing ability is indeed good. Mayo not only suffered a big loss in height, but also was not as good as his opponent. Wu Huang added another assist data to himself with a long pass.

The score is 26:1o, the second-year team is already 16 points behind. Fortunately, the official timeout has reached the timeout after this attack. Otherwise, Ewing will be angry about whether to call the timeout?

Less than half of the first half, Wu Huang had scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Everyone was unable to speak for a while when they looked at his data. Such a performance was too cruel! (To be continued.)
