basketball never sleeps

Chapter 124 The Emperor's Dunk

On February 2th, after unknown third-tier female stars sang indistinctly, the rookie game that the Denver audience had been longing for finally began.

Sophomore starters: Melon, James Young, Wade, Mo Wen, Bosh;

First-year starters: Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Howard, Josh Smith, Harris;
The audience cheered loudly, but if you listen carefully, you can feel that there is not much passion in the cheers.

Just like many teachers with immature acting skills, the voice is loud, but without emotion, it can't arouse the feelings of old drivers at all.

The reason is also very simple: this is a game that has not started.

The 03 class is recognized as the best class after the 96th class. Let alone a year of training, even if it was replaced by them when they first entered the league last year, it was not something that this year's rookies could touch.

This year's draft actually has a lot of talents in the future, but unfortunately none of them can stand out now: at present, there is only the No. 5 pick who is happy but not basketball-Howard; Mr. Tony, who has no injuries and knows a little about offense; he averages only [-] points per game in a straight line. The ball speed ceiling Devin Harris; the young and immature Bulls Twins, Luol Deng and Ben Gordon; Tigger Josh Smith, Jr. AI Iguodala, Al Jefferson, etc. have all played behind name of the player.

But these players have one thing in common without exception. They all realized their talents and became stars after three or five seasons.

Compared with the 03 stars who can be ranked among the stars just after entering the league, this group of new melon eggs still has a long way to go.

"The dream is over, boys, cheer up, or you will be massacred by us tonight."

He didn't know why in just the past ten seconds, his goal changed from being the three-point leader to scoring 5 points as a victory.

Under the defense of the second-year players walking, Josh Smith, the fastest runner, received the pass, took off in one step inside the free throw line, and easily completed the dunk with one hand.

Do you think that Howard, who was dunked one, will be angry because of this, and even drive the enthusiasm of the first-year players?
Leo Leo Leo, this big stupid guy didn't seem to have any negative emotions, instead of blaming and resenting Mo Wen, he cheerfully approached and asked Mo Wen how he completed the pass just now.

Howard also has a heart that wants to show off. Mo Wen is about the same height as his usual trainer, which has inspired his muscle memory after training in the past few months.

As the second grade got serious, the live commentary and the fans finally recovered from the lethargic performance.

Jesus was right. Money in this world that does not belong to you should not be touched.

"Howard accomplished the feat in basketball history. He dunked Mo without the ball. Genius, he is a true genius."

"I've seen dunks fly, I've seen dunks get blocked, but this is the first time I've seen this happen."

I don't know whether it was because Mo Wen cut the ball too fast or Howard's core muscles were too developed. Instead of losing his balance because of being robbed, this guy got up and flew towards the basket as planned.

The voice of the commentary fell, and the stadium and the audience also expressed their recognition of the comedy effect of this scene with laughter and applause.

When Arenas hit the flower ball, Danzi, who joined the fun on the sidelines, showed a disappointed expression.

Are you sure you are lying, not burning newspapers at graves?
As for Ning's hook, which he hadn't practiced until Wanwan, where did he have the confidence to feel that he could deceive people.

"It's beautiful not to see people pass the ball. Mo and Wade still have such a tacit understanding. I think the second-year coach should slow them down and James, and put three All-Stars on the court. This is clearly bullying. !"

At the start of the game, "Happy Beast" easily slapped the basketball from Bosh's head.

Dunk is like a high-end steak. If you just taste a slice or two, it will definitely be delicious in the world, but if you eat it all the time, you will definitely get tired if you eat too much.

So in the second quarter, he showed off his fancy passing and also took the lead in improving the defensive intensity of the game.

Before he could say a few words, there was the sound of banging iron from Arenas' side.

"No, haven't you been deceived? Hakim said that even the best defensive players will be deceived by shaking like this three times, especially a player like you who is shorter than me? Why don't you move?"

Howard carried the "dance step" formula given to him by Olajuwon in his heart, and Mo Wen, who was in front of him, stopped moving after getting stuck in his lower body.

The first grade cubs thought that Mo Wen was just joking, but they didn't want to. In the following competition, Mo Wenzhen led the second grade to make a serious move.

"Gordon was about to dunk... oh no, it was blocked, his performance was ruined by Milicic, the second-year players did not give the stage to them to perform as usual."

The quality of his opponents is also rare in these years-Ray Allen, Ah Q, Korver, Joe Johnson and Arenas.

After Howard probed around for a while, Mo Wen didn't move for a moment.

After Mo Wen tricked Howard with a pass, and after he stretched out his hand to ambush Bosh and completed the dunk, the fans who saw the attack gave out sincere cheers that had not been seen for a long time.

On the penultimate day of the All-Star Week, Mo Wen once again went to the Pepsi Center to participate in the three-point contest.

With the cooperation of everyone, Anthony's battle to score points was a great success without any obstacles.

It wasn't until the last bouquet that he successfully hit the first shot of the day.

At the beginning, the audience was still willing to cheer enthusiastically for the dunks you came and went, but as the game continued, both sides were still dunking singles. The game without confrontation was empty and boring, and soon the audience Chen Shengli was fatigued and cheered. The sound is getting smaller and smaller.

Missed all 5 shots at the first point, which really opened everyone's eyes.

That was his best hope of clearing [Dungeon of Hell].

The first-year players intentionally asked Howard to play an answer ball, and Mo Wen took the initiative to switch defenses in front of Howard to save face.

He can't make a shot in the usual competition, but he can successfully show it in the rookie competition, which is not in vain for his saliva in the past few months.

Dunk, dunk, or a fucking dunk.

The teammates of the first-year team were all convinced. My brother was dunked in the game, not in the slam dunk contest. How can you be so optimistic and free-spirited?
If ordinary people met this kind of opponent, they might be moved by Howard's simplicity and ease, but Mo Wen, who was tricked by this guy's "optimism" in the dungeon, was not moved at all.

Mo Wen's eyelids trembled, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was Howard in front of him who was lying to the child, or Olajuwon was lying to the child.

The professional live commentary paused for two seconds in embarrassment.

"Just wait and see, today I will let you open your eyes, the three-pointer must be mine!"

This time he left according to the script he had in mind. Mo Wen couldn't resist his strength and withdrew.

However, Arenas' mentality is still good. At the second point, he hardly made any adjustments. He still followed the shooting speed of the previous group, and shot again.

bang——

On the other hand, the big-hearted Arenas had beads of sweat on his head, didn't he, did he feel so bad today?
But fortunately, 40% of this bouquet has been completed, and there are still three points behind. As long as he scores one in each point, he can still keep his basic face.

But the league has a dedicated slam dunk performance team, and there will be a dedicated slam dunk contest tomorrow, and dunking in such a serious competition is not a smack.

But the victory that was about to be obtained was abruptly lost by this guy's indifferent optimism.

If there are stars who are willing to take the initiative to participate in this kind of entertainment competition, the league officials have no objection.

So Howard didn't forcefully hit the basket with this ball, but stopped when he hit the line of the three-second zone.

In the second grade offense, the basketball passed Mo Wen's hands for a while, and then passed to Anthony, who counterattacked quickly. Melon, who did not grow pork belly, was also a good player in the fast break. Under the defense of Luol Deng, Melon easily made three Step by step, he also completed a low-altitude dunk elegantly and smoothly.

Howard, whose CPU was a bit overloaded, simply shut down his brain and chose to use his best body to solve the problem.

Seeing Howard doing the familiar waist holding the ball under the basket, Olajuwon in front of the TV clenched his fists.

The two rounds between Howard and Mo Wen were just an episode.

Josh also signed up for tomorrow's slam dunk contest. He will do three things this time to participate in the All-Star.

Ben Gordon wanted to show off his fancy dribble singles in front of Mo Wen, but when he turned his head, Mo Wen casually reached out and easily destroyed it.

Then next... Howard hugged the basketball, bent his legs, and was about to dunk with one step.

But at the same time that Warcraft jumped up excitedly, the round basketball in his hand was cut away by Mo Wen.

And Anthony also won the rookie game MVP with 33 points, 2 assists and 5 rebounds, which can be regarded as saving the face of the Denver elders who have no sense of participation.

A bouquet counts as 2 points, which is a bit much.

Adjusting his posture and accumulating a little power, Howard turned and slammed into Mo Wen.

Howard, without the ball in his hand, completed the emperor's dunk.

Olajuwon, who was sitting in front of the TV, saw this scene and turned off the TV with a snap, rubbing his chest fiercely.

"Lean on the lower body, then turn around with the compass, pretend to shoot, and deceive the opponent's defense... Hey, why is this guy not moving? Forget it, if he didn't move, the next step should be to pretend to attack in another direction..."

This was the case in last year's rookie game. Both teams gave up defense at the last moment, and just kept showing their talents, turning a good game into a dunk performance by professional players.

However, the outside world did not recognize the gold content of Anthony's MVP. Mo Wen scored 14 points and 5 assists in only halftime, and Wade was replaced after scoring 20 points in the middle of the third quarter.

In the second half, Anthony also put away his playfulness and focused on collecting statistics....

He once entered a copy of the finals in 08, taking the identity of Lewis and partnering with the "optimistic family patriarch" in front of him against the Lakers.

At the end of the game, the second grade team beat the first grade team by 149 points 106:43.

If the Nuggets were not the hosts, this game would be much better.

Just when everyone thought that Mo Wen was being reasonable and sophisticated, Mo Wen put on a serious attitude and seriously guarded Howard.

In the ensuing first quarter, both teams seemed to follow the rhythm of the first two rounds, constantly using various dunks to show the youthful vitality of the young people.

Arenas, who was the first to play, patted Mo Wen's chest before going on stage, and said provocatively.

"I don't practice much at too far a distance, but with regular three-pointers, I'm sure I'll win."

As long as he can have half of nagging... 1/3... 1/10 desire to win, he won't be reduced to hugging Lao Zhan's thigh in order to get the championship ring.

Mo Wen hugged his chest, didn't care about this 0 with abnormal brain circuits, but started talking with Ray Allen next to him.

Don't ask why it's all dunks, because he can't do anything else.

They hope that all the stars will come to participate in the game, entertain the public and increase the ratings.

"Anthony turned around and shot a jumper, very... well, the movement is very smooth and beautiful. He has scored 16 points so far and is the core scorer of the second-year team."

Originally, the league officials didn't expect Arenas to be invited, but after losing the three-point game with Mo Wen Chaoyuan, this guy kept clamoring to find his place in the three-point contest.

Mo Wen also hated this kind of competition, there was no intention of competing at all, and the point difference had not yet been widened.

At the end of the half, the two teams had opened up a gap of 18 points, and Mo Wen also went off to rest.

The third group, the top of the arc.

Arenas tweaked his shot speed and increased his aim time, but it didn't help.

He still only made one average shot.

Unconsciously, the palms of the general's hands were already full of sweat.
