The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 169 New Rules
On February 2, the new Amway Center in Orlando.

Different from the usual All-Star rookie game, this year's rookie game adopts a brand-new method, which will take the form of a mixed team of first-year and second-year students to compete.

The two teams are Charles Barkley and "Shark" O'Neal, who are TNT TV commentators, and serve as the general managers of the two teams respectively. On February 2, they selected 16 players from the candidate list through the draft. .

In addition, the head coaches of the two teams will be the chief assistant coaches of the East and West All-Star Game coaching staff, as well as Barkley and O'Neal's TNT colleagues Mike Fratello and Steve Kerr. Will also join the coaching staff of the two teams respectively; the specific situation is that Fratello helps Barkley's team, while Cole helps O'Neal's team.

In addition, on the day of the draft on February 2, Magic Johnson served as the moderator and Kenny Smith served as the honorary chairman.

After the final draft, the ten-man roster of both sides was born.

Shaq O'Neal Team: Lip, Griffin, Ricky Rubio, Paul George, Markieff Morris, Lin Shuhao, Greg Monroe, Landry Fields, Norris Cole and Tristan Thompson.

Team Chuck Barkley: Kyrie Irving, DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Williams, Marshan Brooks, John Wall, Thiago Splitter, Kemba Walker, Kawhi Leonard, Evan Turner.

Splitter and Leonard were unable to play due to injuries, and Derrick Favors replaced him in the end.

"Strength, you must be full of strength! To do evil in the penalty area, I don't ask you to be like me, but at least you should be like your predecessor Yao!"

Before the start of the game, O'Neill, the team manager, was making a fuss about Li Pu, blaming Li Pu for being too soft, and even using Dayao as an example.

After retiring, O'Neill has grown a fat belly in less than a year. Even the most exquisite suit can't cover up his fat accumulation.

Speaking of O'Neill, he is indeed a talent.

When playing, he was able to win four championships and rank among the top ten in history.

As a result, just after announcing his retirement this summer, he was signed by TNT with a multi-year contract, and participated in the "NBA Insider" column with Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, etc., a model of laid-off and re-employment!

For O'Neill's request, Li Pu couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking: Don't you see how long Yao has been playing since he gained weight?I want to play for a few more years!
"But playing like that is not cool! I want to play like Kevin!" Of course Li Pu couldn't tell the truth, so he used Durant as a shield.

Unexpectedly, O'Neill was disappointed when he heard it, and immediately said angrily: "What are you talking about? Who is not handsome in playing? Haven't you seen me play? Do you know how fierce I was ten years ago? How many people are me fans!"

"Then why don't you have as many fans as Kobe?"

"you……"

As the saying goes, expose others without revealing their shortcomings, Li Pu's words caused O'Neill to fall into silence, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Although O'Neill doesn't think that Kobe is stronger than himself, but in terms of the number of fans...

If he didn't take care of his senior's face, he would really like to scold his mother!

Seeing that O'Neal fell silent, Li Pu waved his hand towards him, then came to the field with the ball and began to practice shooting.

"Li, you really dare! How dare you say that in front of O'Neill?"

Just after Li Pu threw a ball, Paul George quietly came to Li Pu by picking up the ball.

"What did I say about him? I was just telling the truth!"

"Everyone says Shaq is narrow-minded, aren't you afraid of offending him?" George turned his head back while speaking, for fear that O'Neill would hear him talking about him behind his back.

"Even if he offends me, how can he get revenge on me? Arrange me to appear in "Five Great Jiong" every day?" Li Pu didn't care.

The classic spoof show in the NBA world, "The Big Five", was launched by O'Neill as early as last year. Due to the strange embarrassment on the court and the exaggerated commentary by O'Neill and Kenny Smith, this program quickly became popular once it was launched. Fire all over the basketball world.

Li Pu also appeared twice occasionally, it didn't matter to him, no one would underestimate his own strength just because he appeared in "Five Great Laughs".

George on the side curled his lips, thinking: Isn't this scary?Look at McGee, how have children been spoofed?

After the warm-up, and after a series of lengthy opening ceremonies, the game is finally about to start.

Since "Linsanity" did not come, Lin Shuhao's reputation was not as good as it was in the original time and space. Therefore, he was not selected as the starting lineup of the Shaq team.

Shaq starters: Lip, Griffin, Ricky Rubio, Paul George, Markieff Morris

The Barkley team's starters are: Kyrie Irving, DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward, Derek Williams, Marshan Brooks.

Looking at the young Owen not far away, Li Pu was suddenly a little curious. He didn't know if the famous "Ou Shenxian" was cultivating immortality at this time?Should I go up and ask him, "Is the earth flat?"

"Hmph, let's decide the outcome!"

Just as Li Pu was still thinking, a figure stood in front of Li Pu, and it was Cousins.

Cousins ​​looked at Li Pu in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

It has been less than two years since he dismissed Li Pu during the joint trial training, but Li Pu has become his nightmare.

How can Cousins ​​feel balanced when a person he looks down on has achieved such an achievement?

Therefore, he wanted to defeat Li Pu all the time, and without realizing it, Li Pu had gradually become the person he wanted to chase after.

Seeing Cousins' chubby face, Li Pu felt helpless. He didn't understand why this guy was always pestering him?so annoying!

"What is the outcome with you?"

"Hmph, are you afraid?"

Unexpectedly, Li Pu's indifference angered Cousins.

"I will be afraid of you? Wait until you have made two All-Stars before you tell me this!"

"You..." Li Pu's words pierced Cousins' heart like a knife.

"You wait, I will come in sooner or later!"

"Well... Forget it, it's still a bit difficult to be an All-Star, why don't you try to lead the team to the playoffs first!"

"If you don't have Durant and Russell, can you get in?"

Hearing that Li Pu said that he could not make the playoffs, Cousins ​​immediately replied.

"Of course!"

"boast!"

Cousins ​​didn't believe it at all.

But Li Pu didn't care whether Cousins ​​believed it or not, he did anyway!
