I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 128 2006 All-Star Weekend!

On February 2, Su Bei, Wade and O'Neal flew to Houston to participate in the All-Star Weekend.

In the first month of the new season, Su Bei performed second and third among the rookies in 05. Even if his performance declined next, he was still selected for the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

Wade was an All-Star substitute last year, and was mentioned as a starting All-Star in 2006.

O'Neill doesn't need to say anything more, without O'Pang, the fun of being an All-Star, how can he mention it with Yao Ming as his image representative?

At this time, Yao Ming has not yet appeared in the dynamic Luotu, and he is still unable to play.

When they arrived at the hotel where Houston was staying, the three of them separated immediately, each looking for his own mother.

On February 2th, North Jiangsu and the first-year rookies gathered for a few hours of training in the morning and a game in the evening.

As the opening dish of the All-Star Weekend, the Rookie Challenge is used to warm up for the following top events.

Su Bei met many acquaintances.

Such as Paul, Deron, Nate Robinson, and Luther Head.

There are also many people who are not very familiar, such as the white-browed hero Villanueva, the bragging champion Bogut, Channing Frye, and Danny Granger, a total of 9 people.

In fact, it's training, it's nothing more than recognizing people. Anyway, during the game, it's not like Sakuragi Hanamichi passing the ball to the wrong person.

Su Bei and Granger played small forwards, and occasionally cameo power forwards.

The second-year opponent has already come out.

The starting small forward position is probably Iguodala.

This has nothing to do with Su Bei, he is facing a substitute, no accident is Nocioni.

Not to mention Iguodala, it was not easy to play against Nocioni. He is the main player of the golden generation of Argenliang. After killing the American Dream Team in 2004, he did not participate in the draft. He was still favored by the Bulls. Together with Luol Deng, they shared the position of small forward 8-5, and played in turns in the starting lineup. Naturally, their strength is not bad. They averaged [-] points and [-] rebounds per game in their rookie season.

The ball has increased this season, averaging 13 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists per game.

Subei has already met the Bulls twice with the Heat, and he knows Nocioni quite well. He is a player that Subei likes to match up with very much.

His physical talent is average, he doesn't have a stable three-pointer, and his defense is dirty. He shouldn't be able to use it in the rookie challenge.

On the evening of the 18th, Toyota Center Arena.

At this time, the Rookie Challenge is about to be held in the arena, the lights are bright, and there are crowds of people.

After a simple warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were also played in the arena.

There are 5 first-year starters, Nate Robinson, Paul, Danny Granger, Channing Frye, Andrew Bogut.

The second-year team started with five tigers, Devin Harris, Ben Gordon, Iguodala, Luol Deng, Howard.

At the beginning of the game, Iguodala showed his strength to break through the barrier alone. When he rushed up, his whole body was full of muscles. Granger had excellent defensive skills, which were useless. Iguodala was like a reckless person. , smashed his body away, and with a bang, he split the buckle with one hand.

One word, unstoppable!

The second grade took the lead. To put it bluntly, since the Rookie Challenge, this competition has been the stage for the second grade to beat the first grade.

Last season, they were so abused by the stars of the 03 Bai generation that they couldn't say goodbye. Now it's time to get back everything that was lost last year.

With such a tradition, the second grade is very confident and strong.

The first-year lineup, as well as the short-short combination of Paul and Little Tudou, even if they can defend it, it will be difficult to grab rebounds, and the game will be at a disadvantage at the beginning.

Especially for Granger, simplicity is the hardest hit.

In addition to using his muscles to fight, the player Iguodala is also very good at playing this kind of exhibition game.

Don't ask, Iguodala is an actor.

In the regular season, you can lie down in all kinds of ways, but in the playoffs, you don't pretend to be, and stand up to grab the MVP.

The Rookie Challenge is a game of determination.

Playing waves under pressure and stimulation can easily explode.

Iguodala broke out, and when he got up, Granger's mediocre physical talent was smashed to pieces.

On the court, the game was mediocre. The rookies haven’t learned how to show off yet, but their skills have not yet formed. If they really play, their strength is not enough. Many of them are playing iron shows. In addition, there is no tactical coordination, and the game is a bit messy. Unbearable.

There were no bright spots in the game, only two things were passable.

The first is Iguodala's dunk, and the second is Paul's exquisite pass.

6 minutes later,
Iguodala counterattacked one-stop, rushed to the basket, knocked Granger into the air, and with a bang, his whole body hung on the basket.

Those bulging muscles looked terrifying.

Later, Paul showed a back pass, but his teammates couldn't catch it.

Seeing that the first grade was about to be beaten, the assistant coach of the Pistons replaced Su Bei with Granger who was blown up.

Su Bei couldn't wait, and Nocioni played as a substitute, and was quickly pushed out to block the knife.

With Iguodala's great knife, he could only cut with more meat, but his knife couldn't cut it.

"Su Bei came on the field and was knocked away by Iguodala again, and then, with a dunk, he scored another two points.

The second grade has widened the difference to 10 points.

The first grade still lacks a leader who can lead. Chris Paul doesn't have that kind of domineering, and Bogut can only brag.

On the other side of the second grade, there is the unstoppable Iguodala, and the first-year rookie Wei Ai..."

Swish-!
Paul and Su Bei played a pick-and-roll tactic, passing the ball hand-to-hand, assisting Su Bei to hit a three-pointer on Devin Harris.

Afterwards, Iguodala was blocked. After all, the challenge was not held by him. Devon Harris also wanted to perform a sharp and fast breakthrough, but was intercepted by Paul.

"Paul goes upcourt, drives into the lane, throws the basketball over the backboard, and bam...

The basketball went flying!
No, it flew, that's right, Su Bei, who was following behind, also flew up, and the two flew together, and Su Bei pressed the basketball into the basket again in the air..."

Bang-dang-!
Although Subei couldn't defend against Iguodala, the first-year offense, with the cooperation of Subei and Paul, gradually opened up the situation.

In the first grade, Paul was still organizing passes and playing cooperation. As a second-year player, Harris was a solo player.

Iguodala, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, and Howard are all the same stuff.

At the end of the first half, the first-year rookie, 10 points behind the maximum, slowly caught up, only 58 to 55, 3 points behind the second-year.

In the second half, Su Bei performed well. In front of Nocioni, he made a three-point jumper.

He continued to cut into the penalty area, received an assist from Paul, and ate the long-lost cake. He led the first grade to a 10-4 shock wave and achieved a lead in the score.

Just when Su Bei was in high spirits and wanted to make persistent efforts and kick the ass of the second-year player, Su Bei was replaced.

The Rookie Challenge was not held at Su Bei's house. If he was in good shape, he would be replaced. At the same time, Paul was also replaced.

Deron Williams, a fat man, will be replaced by the nine players. Whoever really wants to be partial is also favored by Luther Hyde. His Rockets, the All-Star Weekend is held in Houston, so naturally Kudos to the players who played for the city.

The mediocre Luther Head was also really good, scoring 18 points.

But, the game is as its name suggests, Luthor, it sounds unlucky, and the efficiency is not high.

The score was 106 to 96. The first grade did not break the tradition at the end and lost to the second grade players by 10 points.

Iguodala made 17 of 14 shots, 8 of 4 three-pointers, scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. He won the honor of Most Valuable Player in the Rookie Challenge. Playing this kind of game is just one word, bull!

Su Beihong scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 0 assists. He had an eye-catching performance time, but after being replaced, he played again, and his performance immediately plummeted.

Paul scored 13 assists, 8 points and 5 steals. He originally had a chance to compete for the MVP, but he just lost.
