Chapter 126: Ticket King Rookie?

The next afternoon, when Li Ran came to the American Airlines Center with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, no matter how insinuating and smirking Rose was, he had only one explanation.

Drank until midnight at the bar last night.

What exactly happened may only be known to Li Ran and Swift.

When she came to the main arena, Taylor Swift was wearing a Nuggets' No. 0 autumn jacket and sat in the front row with a happy face.

He glanced at Taylor with some helplessness and resentment, and then found a place to sit on the sidelines, waiting for the start of the afternoon game.

The first day of the game started at 12 pm, and the fan activities that continued throughout the day have already started and will last for a full [-] hours.

Except for those miscellaneous fan care activities, celebrity games and the like, there is only one key event on the first day.

Rookie Challenge.

The current rookie challenge is still a first-year challenge second-year format.

The second-year team has won 6 consecutive victories because of its natural advantage-playing a full year more than the first-year team.

The last time the second-grade team lost, it was the 02-level team that lost to the 03-level team. . .

This year's sophomore lineup is very luxurious, led by Du Xiaoshuai.

However, relatively speaking, this year's first-year lineup is considered to be one of the rare years that can challenge the second-year.

Because they have Li Ran, the vote champion of this year's All-Star.

2009 rookie game list

Sophomore Team: Kevin Durant (Thunder), Jeff Green (Thunder), Al Horford (Hawks), Al Thornton (Clippers), Thaddeus Young (76ers), Wilson Chandler (Knicks), Ronnie Stuckey (Pistons), Aaron Brooks (Rockets), Luis Scola (Rockets).

First-year team: Li Ran (Nuggets), Derrick Rose (Bulls), OJ Mayo (Grizzlies), Marc Gasol (Grizzlies), Greg Oden (Blazers), Rudy Fernandez (Blazers), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Eric Gordon (Clippers), Michael Beasley (Heat).

The appearance of Li Ran replaced Daluo in the original time and space.

Oden appeared in this year's first-year lineup because he was reimbursed for the entire season last year due to injury.

The head coach of the first-year team, the assistant coach of the Nuggets and a close friend of George Karl, Terry Stotts.

The second-year team's assistant coach is Celtics assistant coach Triano. (I really didn’t find the list of coaches for the rookie game that year. If someone knows, please correct me.)
Stotts did not hesitate to send Rose, Li Ran, OJ-Mayo, Michael Beasley and Greg Oden to the starting lineup.

Moreover, he has already made a plan, as long as Li Ran doesn't say that he is tired and takes the initiative to leave the field, he will keep him on the field.

Triano sent Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Al Horford, Aaron Brooks and Thaddeus Young to the starting lineup.

Triano is also very confident. Durant's scoring ability is unmatched by first-year players.

But not necessarily?
Triano looked at Li Ran who was chatting with Ross on the other side.

This number 0 is an unstable factor.

"Li, it's been a long time since I passed the ball to you, are you ready?"

Rose made no secret of his biased position, and OJ Mayo and Beasley on the side almost rolled their eyes to the sky.

But the situation is stronger than the people. Not only are Rose and Li Ran two young + old teammates, but even his head coach is also an assistant coach of the Nuggets.

Take the lead and grab the ball with them?

When kicking off, Li Ran trotted to the middle circle with a flattering smile on his face.

"Greg, this..."

A simple and honest smile appeared on Auden's face, which seemed to be in his 50s.

"I know."

It's not like he hasn't seen the scene where Li Ran jumped the ball over the heads of Pulzbila and Ade, and he stepped aside obediently and sensiblely.

Li Ran's current performance is completely like a ball bully, but the warm smile on his face makes it difficult for people to associate the word ball bully with him.

On the other side, Al Horford saw Li Ran standing in front of him, his face turned black.

He also jumped the ball with Li Ran. . .

Completely defeated.

In front of the defenseless Horford, Li Ran easily jumped the ball.

Rose controlled the ball, bouncing and running to the frontcourt.

The rookie team has never been run-in, and they are completely on their own.

In the second grade, Durant and Jeff Green are teammates, and the two can cooperate a little bit.

However, in the first grade, there is a connection between Ross and Li Ran. The two have cooperated for more than a year or two, and of course they have become the most perfect main attack point in Stotts' eyes.

Just like they did in high school and college.

Facing the defense of the little black bean Aaron Brooks, Rose can only express——

What?Is there a defender in front of me?
Although the absolute speed of Little Black Bean is also very fast, even faster than Ross, the breakthrough is not only based on speed.

Dribble, pull, change direction.

Brooks had no choice but to watch Rose break into the inside.

The rookie game didn't pay much attention to defense, so Brooks simply turned around to see how Rose ended.

Inside, Horford and Durant are ready to defend Rose at any time.

Just as Rose jumped up, Horford and Durant both jumped up.

but. . .

Where is the ball in Rose's hand?
I saw a tall figure suddenly appearing inside, holding the ball and flying up.

At some point, Li Ran made an empty cut, holding the "disappeared" basketball in his hand.

Ending the first-year team's first attack with a powerful and beautiful windmill dunk, Li Ran patted Rose on the shoulder after landing, and the two ran towards the backcourt with a smile.

That's the feeling, the feeling that even Billups couldn't bring him.

I know you're going to pass me the ball, and you know I'm going to catch your pass.

Durant dribbled the ball at the top of the arc expressionlessly, neither fast nor slow.

Beasley in front of him seemed to have a serious defensive attitude, but he could only look at the ball and sigh in the face of Durant's dry pull.

The shooting point is too high, and a player who is more than [-] meters in front of you uses the movement of a defender. How can this be defended?

Refer to Nuo Tianwang's golden rooster independence and Yao Ming's fadeaway jumper. . .

Durant felt obviously fiery in this game, and his dry three-pointer went into the net.

The two teams quickly found their respective cores.

On the first-year team, the connection between Ross and Li Ran was invincible.

Durant used his stick singles to challenge Li Ran and Rose at the same time.

The shooting percentages on both sides were astonishingly high. At the end of the first quarter, the score had come to 44-40.

The second-year team temporarily leads by four points.
