NBA Old Age Star System

Chapter 39 All-Star Rookie Game

The Timberwolves served the ball again, and after reaching the front court, it was still given to Wiggins.

At this time, Su Tian took the initiative to come to the opposite side of Wiggins.

Don't you want to hit me, come on, let's see who educates who!
Wiggins felt that the ball just now should be a coincidence, so he started to break through Su Tian again.

Su Tian turned on the death coil again, and Wiggins was a little bit in a dilemma, feeling as if he got into a glove.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Wiggins passed the ball to Pekovic under the basket.

At this time, Pekovic's position is not good, with Love behind him defending, and James next to him to help defend and interfere.

Pekovic then played the ball to Bennett who was stretched.

Bennett ran out of time when he received the ball, so he had to take a shot, which he missed as expected.

Bennett: You hit all the good shots, and leave the blame to me?

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. After Su Tian got the ball, he didn't pass it out. He took the ball and went inside to see if he could challenge Pekovic's defense head-on.

Bursting to the basket, Su Tian collected the ball and took a European step. With his shoulder against Pekovic, he made a layup with his right hand and raised his left hand to protect the ball.

bang - swish -

The basketball hits the backboard into the net.

Su Tian clenched his fist excitedly, and looked back at Pekovic cautiously.

Su Tian: I'm not cowardly, I just pay more attention to etiquette.

With Su Tian's layup, the Timberwolves successfully changed from leading to trailing, and Wiggins still did not find a suitable offensive method.

In the end, as the morale of the Timberwolves continued to decline, none of the Timberwolves players had the intention to continue playing.

105-96, the Cavaliers defeated the Timberwolves.

Wiggins had 33 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. He only scored 3 points in the fourth quarter, which was completely different from the first three quarters.

Su Tian scored 33 points, 8 assists, 2 rebounds, and 15 steals. In the last quarter, he scored [-] points by relying on hanging.

In the first three quarters alone, Su Tian's performance was not as good as Wiggins', but everyone who watched the fourth quarter agreed that Su Tian's performance was better than Wiggins' overall!

In addition to physical fitness.

Wiggins' offensive desire began to be questioned. Many media questioned why Wiggins did not dare to break through the inside in the last quarter and only shot outside.

Wiggins has the misery to say, don't I want to?Well, I really don't really think about it, but the main reason is that Su Tian's defense is too tight, and he can't break in.

After this battle, Wiggins has also seen how tough Su Tian is when he defends with all his strength, and he no longer dares to treat Su Tian as a soft persimmon.

In fact, many players who have experienced Su Tian's defense in the fourth quarter all recognize Su Tian very much, including some famous stars such as Wade and Kobe.

After the match against Timberwolves, Su Tian didn't have time to rest for a long time, so he quickly got up to train the next day.

It's not how hard Su Tian worked, but that Wei Deka's integration is almost complete!

At this time, Su Tian felt that he had endless strength, and wanted to pierce the layer of window paper quickly.

For the opening of the next template card, it is like opening a blind box, and there is an inexplicable sense of anticipation.It's like, you don't know what surprises the technician who walks in will bring you.

With this tense and exciting mood, the time came to February 2th.

The Cavaliers have just finished their away game with the Bulls. The Cavaliers lost the last game before the All-Star 98-113.

Rose had 30 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, making Irving a bit autistic.

Su Tian's performance in this game was not good enough. The combination of Paul Gasol and Joakim Noah on the inside of the Bulls limited Su Tian's breakthrough.

Su Tian only scored 13 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds in the game, but it was already the third highest score after James and Irving.

Love did not play this game due to injury. As the schedule continued to deepen, each team had different large and small injuries, but there was no way. Injuries are also part of the game and can only be avoided as much as possible.

However, the upcoming All-Star Weekend can also give players a breath of relief.

After Su Tian returned home, he also summed up his weaknesses. Although Su Tian was still the most powerful contender for the best rookie, the research on him by various teams followed.

Su Tian's current field is roughly divided into "three axes", breakthrough layup, three-pointer and outside defense.

So many teams began to defend Su Tian in a targeted manner.

In terms of CIC, although the value is not low, its stability and anti-interference ability are poor, and it cannot be used as a conventional offensive method.

Although with the advent of the small ball era, the middle distance has been paid less and less attention, but a stable middle distance is still a move that can kill people.

Su Tian can only hope that the system can draw a mid-range marksman, such as Kobe, Jordan, and so on.

On February 2th, the all-star appetizer hits—the All-Star Rookie Game, which will start at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Before the start of the game, McAway of the local team announced that he would miss the game due to injury.

As a result, the local team has no useful immediate combat power, and the international team also has Wiggins and Su Tian, ​​who can be described as shining double stars in the 14th season.

Most of the media interviews were between the two. Although Wiggins is an international team, there are still a lot of local media support. After all, Maple Leaf Country knows everything.

Hawks assistant coach Kenny Atkinson served as the head coach of the international team, while Warriors assistant coach Gentry coached the local team.

The starting lineup of both parties:

US team: Payton, Oladipo, Pope, Noel, Zeller.

World Team: Schroeder, Su Tian, ​​Wiggins, Antetokounmpo, Gobert.

Undoubtedly, facing such a good opportunity, Su Tian will definitely earn the MVP of the Rookie Competition, and Su Tian is also confident in winning it.

Because of Su Tian's Wedeka, there is only a little bit of fusion left!
As soon as the first quarter came up, Su Tian's offensive desire was particularly abundant, and he attacked inside with the ball.

Although Oladipo is not bad, he obviously hasn't completed the upgrade yet, and he can't hold the protruding Su Tian at all.

With 5 minutes left in the first half, Su Tian was replaced. Su Tian, ​​who had played to his heart's content, was very happy, while Wiggins, whose desire to attack had declined significantly, did not compete with Su Tian for the ball.

In fact, Wiggins has never been a person who is obsessed with the ball, but sometimes he is willing to play, and sometimes he is unwilling.

苏天上半场18分5助攻2篮板1抢断，三分球5投3中，维金斯拿到11分3篮板2助攻，国际队也以60-56领先本土队结束上半场。

At the beginning of the second half, Su Tian was not replaced immediately, but other players took turns to appear on the stage. Su Tian was not in a hurry.

Finally, with 8 minutes before the end of the game, Atkinson replaced Su Tian and Wiggins at the same time.

At this time, the field is 100-95, and the international team leads by 5 points.

Su Tian came up and continued to attack with the ball, passing the ball to his teammates from time to time.

When Su Tian and Wiggins came to a simple pick-and-roll cooperation, I suddenly felt that Wiggins was really a useful second master.

He has a good temper and no ambitions, except for a lower desire to attack, he is good in everything, but as the second master, it is okay if he is not willing to make any effort to attack.As long as you are willing to work hard when defending, Wiggins is a top-notch second-in-command with his physical fitness.

This reminded Su Tian of Iguodala. Iguodala was also excellent in physical fitness back then, but he was questioned that his offensive desire was low.

Minnesota's management did not expect that they were going to use it as Jordan's envoy, but Su Tian would use it as the second master.

With the cooperation of Su Tian and Wiggins, the two played a wonderful cooperation, and Su Tian also gave Wiggins an alley-oop.

In the end, the international team defeated the local team 121-112.

苏天全场28分9助攻4篮板1抢断，维金斯拿到22分6篮板4助攻1抢断1封盖，两人双星闪耀表现同样出色。

The rest of the international team, Mirotic 16 points, Gobert 18 points and 12 rebounds, Bogdanovic 16 points, Schroeder 13 points and 9 assists, Antetokounmpo 12 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

For the local team, Oladipo had 22 points, LaVine had 12 points, Burke had 15 points, Plumlee had 12 points and 9 rebounds, Zeller had 12 points and Shabazz had 10 points.

After the game, the MVP was announced. Obviously, none of these people could pose a threat.

As expected, Su Tian won the Rookie Challenge MVP.

Su Tian held up the trophy to deliver his acceptance speech, and the photographer took pictures beside him. Before he knew it, Su Tian also left his own mark on the NBA.
