From sparring to superstar

Chapter 278 276. This is a massacre!The slaughter that won’t stop until the last second! (Million words)

The first eight players of the second-year team all had spider patterns on their necks. When Li Ao was the last one to come out of the tunnel, the camera immediately focused on his neck. Looking back and forth from both sides, it looked like it was bleeding.

All the fans at the scene looked at the big screen, there was no spider pattern!

All the players on the sophomore team got spider designs on their necks because Spider-Man was going to play in this game?

Cheers broke out again!
The current players who were watching the scene also exclaimed.

Even Jordan was shocked!
This card is full!
Players of the same generation surrendered?This is something that his leader Qiao had dreamed of doing back then, but he still couldn't do it until he retired after being crowned a god for six years.

Even though Stockton lost two finals, he still refused to accept it.

Not only this giant opponent, but the Trail Blazers star Jerome Corsi, who counterattacked in the second round, cursed at him after losing in the finals and wanted to have a boxing match.

Not to mention players of the same generation, (these days) any player with ambition cannot be beaten.

Madican was willing to help Duncan. After he became popular, the black fans kept catching him and attacking him, but he didn't seem to care very much and enjoyed the pleasure of not having to take responsibility.

But if it's Spider-Man... well, Jordan admits, the kid has a knack for it.

When Gentry, the man who killed a thousand cuts, asked him to take a rest, he was unwilling to say anything at first because he couldn't afford to lose that person. When he was forced to take a rest, it caused a sensation as he expected. He was not injured or sick. The team's second-leading scorer and the best player in history stopped playing because he was tired... the impact was extremely bad. In the words of the new Flyers, this would teach bad things to children.

Just when public opinion was about to ferment, Spider-Man only used a post-game interview to divert the attention of the media and fans.

Although he still wants to hit someone when he thinks of the reason Spider-Man found for him to take a break, Spider-Man did help him a lot and prevented him from being bombarded by public opinion.

He remembered this kindness.

A certain snake next to the God of Basketball really wants to rush forward: Dear neighbor, teach me how to be the boss!After living in my house for so long, you should pay some rent...

On the live TV side, Buckley excitedly jumped on the table and shouted: "Team Spider-Man! This is Spider-Man's team!"

The role of the commentator is to arouse the fans' emotions while watching the game.

The attention of the fans in front of the TV was also attracted by the spider pattern on the neck of the second-year team player. However, compared with the fans at the scene, one or a few people watched the game in front of the TV. There was no such fanatical atmosphere, except for a few fans who had a strong sense of substitution. , most people just watch the fun.

But Barkley's voice brought the fans into his emotions as an NBA player, and they became excited.

The 2000 rookie also 'changed his name' in response to Barkley's call and became the Spider-Man Rookie of the Year.

...

People in different positions have different feelings about the same thing.

The players on the opposing rookie team were also surprised at first when they saw the spider pattern on the neck of the second-year player.

But then he despised the other side even more.

Do you think Spider-Man can win if he has a thigh hug?Spineless!

After the players from both teams entered the stadium, they began their acrobatic performances.

Li Ao heard that Stern had invited a domestic acrobatic troupe in order to attract flower grower fans. He was originally very interested, but now his attention is not on it.

Li Ao asked his teammates: "Where did you buy your stickers? You didn't prepare one for me. That's too much!"

Tegeklu smiled and said: "Haha, you are our captain. This is a logo to pay tribute to you. You must not post it."

Kenyon Martin's pupils were shaking: "What? Stickers? Don't you have tattoos?"

Li Ao's eyes were shaking: "Did you get the tattoos, Number One Scholar? Didn't you notice that they were put on before the warm-up? They weren't even there during training in the afternoon."

Kenyon Martin is going to split. Last night everyone agreed to get a spider logo, but he was the only one who foolishly went to get a tattoo so early in the morning?
He originally planned to have his girlfriend’s lip print tattooed on his neck!This group of killers are actually stickers!

Feeling the shocked gazes of his teammates, Kenyon Martin tried to keep his expression steady and said: "You are so insincere. I am the only real good brother. Tattoos are the real tribute!"

Seeing the stubborn and pitiful look of the champion, his teammates couldn't bear to tease him.

Only Big Q’s eyes lit up.

Yes, this is a real tribute!

...

The pre-game performance time is over and the two teams begin to make final preparations before the game.

On the bench of the rookie team, Magic assistant coach Brian Hill, who serves as the head coach of the rookie team, is arranging tactics to the players, but almost no one listens. All the players can't wait to play.

On the bench of the second-year team, all the players were listening, but Lakers assistant Kurt Rambis, who was the head coach, was looking at his empty hands. The tactical board was... oh, it was in the hands of Spider-Man.

During the afternoon training, the players left him alone, the tactical board was gone, and it was all about trivial matters.

At 7:58, the two teams started playing.

Starting lineup for the rookie team: Arenas, Tinsley, Battier, Gasol, Kwame Brown.

Dual point guards... Brian Hill can't help it with this arrangement. Neither Arenas nor Tinsley agrees with the other and neither wants to come off the bench. What can he do? It's thanks to Jason Richardson's initiative. Offer him to come off the bench.

Starting lineup for the second-year team: Jamal Crawford, Li Ao, Turkoglu, Kenyon Martin, Magloire.

Kwame Brown came to the center circle and looked at Magloire arrogantly.

In fact, high school students are usually quite soft-tempered. Popovich is still correcting his timid character. Compared with when he first entered the NBA, he has improved, but there is still a long way to go.

But that was when facing O'Neal, Tian Zun, Sugarman, Divac, Dampier, Malone, Garnett, O'Neal Jr. and others. Facing the second-year Magloire, Kwame Brown was not timid at all.

After two fights, the other side was evenly matched with him.

Tonight, he has teammates who are better than the opponent.

Not only Kwame Brown, but the rest of the rookie team also had contempt written all over their faces.

Arenas and Gasol, who were bullied the most by Spider-Man, are now eager to take revenge!
The club wants to win, but they think it's impossible, but in the rookie game, they have the ability 1
Normally, when the second-year team players saw this scene, they would explode on the spot.

But now they have only one thought - win!

Only by winning can we slap the opponent in the face, those who look down on them!
At 8 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game and tossed the ball into the air.

Magloire struggled to take off... and the ball was taken away by the opponent.

When he landed, he wanted to greet his teammates to retreat and get into position just like he did at the club... Vaco!
Spider-Man and No. [-] pick in the middle have already retreated to the three-point line.

As expected, he is a close teammate and has full trust in him.

The sophomore team carefully kept up with its defenders.

The atmosphere on the rookie team was completely different. Tinsley had a brief argument with Arenas when he caught the ball and jumped. After halftime, the two decided to take turns playing one-on-one.

Crawford felt that he was really unlucky. When preparing for training in the afternoon, Spider-Man asked him to choose between guarding the point guard or the shooting guard. He said without thinking that he did not want to guard Arenas.

Who knew the opponent would actually field two point guards!

Both are streetball masters. When the two were young, they had fought against each other in a passer-by, and he was beaten by Tinsley...

No one who can make a name for himself in his rookie season is a weakling.

There are only 8 players in the past 20 rookies who averaged 6+ assists per game in their rookie season, and only 3 are currently active. Tinsley is one of them. The other two are Mark Jackson and Damon Stoudemire.

Tinsley showed off his aggressive dribbling, and Crawford tried hard to stay calm, but the opponent's dribbling was too overwhelming.

Crawford couldn't help but press forward to steal. Tinsley dribbled behind his back to avoid Crawford's defense, and then dribbled under his crotch to come directly behind Crawford!
The fans at the scene were excited and cheered wildly!

The most humiliating pass in streetball!

Most fans who watch the rookie game have no clear preference and support whoever plays well... Of course, players like Li Ao whose popularity and strength may be more than one level above others are special cases, but Tinsley and Ke Lawford faced off, and the fans naturally cheered for whoever played well.

After toying with Crawford, Tinsley dug in.

There is no such thing as long-range shooting, with a 23% three-point shooting rate and a 30% mid-range shooting rate.

Gasol restrained Kenyon Martin, and there was no obstruction in the middle. Tinsley went straight to the basket. Magloire actively defended, but he had to cover Kwame Brown who was eating the pie, and Tinsley stepped over him. Step out of the way.

Tinsley, who stepped to the ground, showed a proud smile and took off for a layup... "Pop", "Pap"...

Tinsley's smile froze on his face.

Two long arms stretched out from above his head, one hand slapped the ball to the other, and he picked it off!

Listening to the cheers and screams from the scene, Tinsley felt bad all over - wasn't the Big Spider guarding Arenas on the sideline just now?
He knows that Spider-Man is as fast as a point guard, but this is too fast!

Li Ao landed on the ground and held the ball above Tinsley's head. He was struggling with which hand to hold the ball and which hand to wag his fingers. Tinsley reached up and took out the ball, and he quickly raised the ball.

Tinsley jumped up and couldn't touch the ball, but he didn't give up and stuck to Li Ao.

Li Ao did not compete with the opponent and passed the ball to Crawford who came to take over.

Tinsley ran to the backcourt unwillingly, but this time it was his turn to be stuck by the opponent. He struggled to get rid of it, but he couldn't get past it!

He really hated his mother for not giving him a pair of Allen Iverson's legs.

Li Ao followed Tinsley closely with his feet and kept talking: "I can still see the breakthrough, but the layup is too bad. I didn't know that a step-up layup can land twice?"

Tinsley: Landed twice?Then riding a horse is the European step!If I knew how to European step, could I hit 38%?

If he hadn't seen Shane coming, he would have had to guard against the big spider alone.

Although Tinsley failed to complete the steal just now, his crooked hit prevented Li Ao from hitting the ball immediately for Crawford to counterattack, giving Battier and Kwame Brown the opportunity to lead the team to retreat.

Crawford advanced to the frontcourt and looked at Li Ao, asking with his eyes, 'You come or I come'.

In the position battle, Li Ao took Battier to the right side of the free throw line and decided to do it himself.

These street ball players can score points in random battles, and shoot in positional battles... Maybe they will be OK in three to five years, but now they really can't see it.

Seeing Li Ao leaning on Battier to catch the ball, the fans at the scene booed.

It’s time for Spider-Man to attack!

Li Ao took a step forward and stepped forward. Battier actively pressed up to prevent a turn-over jump shot. Li Ao did not step out and turn over. He swung his outstretched foot to the left, turned around, dribbled behind his back to avoid the charging Battier, and adjusted Direction, take-off, mid-range shot...

The first pitcher felt hot, and Li Ao hit an uncontested mid-range shot!

Cheers broke out again!
Freehand post-up play!Picturesque!
Li Ao opened his arms and retreated.

He played this ball very confidently and his movements were much smoother than in the regular season.

Battier's defensive talent is very good. Although he has not met the expectations of people as the 'next Hill', his defensive talent is better than Hill's. He has been compared with Sean Marion and Larry Hugh. Tied with Si, he is regarded as the second defensive talent of the new generation of forwards.

The first gear is Li Ao, Kirilenko, and Artest.

But that is talent. Currently, Battier is still working hard to become the 'next Hill' and has not developed into a defensive swingman... But in just a few months, even if he works hard in that direction, He couldn't guard against Li Ao either.

For Li Ao, tonight's opponent is one-on-one, and none of them can beat him... Kirilenko needs to pay attention to the fact that the same type competes with each other.

When the rookie team attacked, the fans saw Arenas holding the ball and focusing on the performance of the No. 01 player in the 0 class.

In the past two rookies, Arenas was the first to make a name for himself through singles. He became stronger in singles earlier than Li Ao this season. His pull-up jump shooting skills are far superior to those of his peers. Iverson praised Arenas for his eagerness. The stop jumper is even better than him.

Although Iverson is the kind of person who can't help but praise a promising talent... but at least it means that Arenas' emergency stop jumper is really outstanding!

Arenas himself is also extremely confident. Even though the past two matches were miserable, he is still very confident. He beats Li Ao in singles, breaks through, and makes emergency stop jumpers...

After jumping up, a familiar feeling came over. Even if he moved away from the opponent, his long arms were still covering his shooting space!

Arenas was forced to tilt his body to throw the ball... iron!
Magloire grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly passed to Crawford.

Crawford couldn't wait to catch the ball and immediately pushed forward with all his strength.

Due to Crawford's counterattack speed, only Shane Battier and Kwame Brown returned from the rookie team.

It's not that the two of them are faster than Arenas and Tinsley, but the other three are not thinking about guarding fast breaks.

But both of them felt it was enough. Kwame Brown received the pass to the side of the three-second zone, and Battier stayed one step inside the top arc three-point line.

The defensive talents of the two were displayed at this moment. Although they had never cooperated before, they completed the double interception position in perfect harmony.

Crawford didn't stupidly rush to the basket. He slowed down after reaching the three-point line. Battier immediately covered him. Crawford changed direction, took a step sideways, took off, and shot...

Battier's interference was in place. He was very confident that the opponent could score the ball. He stood on his head and flew.

The Duke legend failed to cheat and drink, but Crawford is a tough guy.

Kwame Brown was already ready to grab the board and moved one step to the left of the top of the arc in the reasonable collision zone to block the rush line of Li Ao, who rushed in from a 45-degree angle from the left.

As a high school student, Li Ao has no chance to hit the board, but...

Kwame Brown jumped up and was about to get the pop-up ball when he was completely knocked out.

Kenyon Martin knocked Kwame Brown past and succeeded in a tip-in!

Kwame Brown was stuck in position to grab the board. Normally, neither Li Ao nor Kenyon Martin would be able to complete the dunk.

But Kwame Brown’s attention was all on Li Ao, and he didn’t notice Kenyon Martin!

Kenyon Martin jumped up excitedly after landing, and celebrated by bumping chests with Li Ao who also jumped up.

Rush, cut, sneak attack, and the fast break is successfully completed!

Not only did everything go smoothly, Li Ao, who was retreating, felt that his preparations seemed a little too adequate... but this is a good thing!

When it came time for the rookie team to attack, Tinsley took the ball and attacked.

Li Ao had an obvious tendency to shrink and move, but Arenas stood aside with his arms crossed.

Battier and Gasol had seen Arenas' enthusiasm off the ball in the last round, and this time they took the initiative to move.

Tinsley didn't play tricks this time. Their rookie team hadn't scored yet, and the opponent had already scored 4 points. When he burst in, he was prepared to be covered by Spider-Man, and he was always looking for Arena. Si...that bastard didn't even move, and was completely blocked by Spider-Man.

Fortunately, Gasol took advantage of Battier's cover and came to the receiving position one step inside the free throw line. Tinsley passed the ball before he had to face Li Ao to block the shot.

As soon as Gasol received the ball, he was blocked by Turkoglu who was actively switching defenses. Gasol calmly passed the ball. Arenas immediately became energetic when he saw the ball coming, jumped up, and shot a long two-pointer...hit!
The rookie team scored, 2 to 4!

Before the rookie team players could celebrate the kick-off, the second-year team went straight to the fast break!

The ball fell from the basket and bounced on the floor. Magloire quickly caught the ball, extended his left foot out of the baseline, raised his right foot while landing on his toes, and sent the ball to Crawford.

This was the fastest serve he had ever made in his life. After serving, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

But no one noticed him, and everyone's attention was focused on the four people who were about to leave the second-year team.

Three players from the rookie team returned, including Battier and Kwame Brown, who are defensively aware, and...Arenas!
Although Arenas' current defensive ability is still very weak, and the Spurs have not yet reached the time to train him on defense, Popovich has been instilling defensive concepts in him and cultivating defensive habits for him.

Habits come naturally. In the last round, we saw the second-year team start a fast break. This time Crawford received the ball and Arenas immediately retreated.

With Arenas retreating to the top arc, Battier and Kwame Brown skillfully started to move against fast breaks.

3 defense and 4 defense fast break is not difficult, just stop the opponent to create time for teammates to retreat, or force the opponent to take a quick shot.

The Duke star and the Spurs center are both excellent in this aspect, but... Turkoglu received Crawford's breakthrough pass from the top arc and passed it. Li Ao cut in from the right to receive the ball, and Kenyon Martin cut in from the left. Contain the defense, step to the baseline, and hit the hook!
The fans at the scene let out bursts of exclamations!

Cooperate!

The second grade team actually played fast break coordination!
In the last round of fast break, it was hard to see the coordination of the second-year team. It looked more like a goal purely relying on athletic ability.

But this time, everyone understood.

The sophomore team is really working together!

Battier and Kwame Brown feel like they are in trouble with the Timberwolves at this moment.

They think they can defend it because the opponent is doing their own thing just like they are.

In the Rookie Challenge, everyone is showing off their abilities.

The group of people opposite are actually playing along!
Forget it about coordination, it looks like you have practiced it!

After scoring this goal, not only Li Ao discovered his blind spot, but also the rest of the second-year team.

The goal of their hard training is to be able to defeat the rookie team.

But an accident seemed to cause a dimensionality reduction blow...

The players on and off the second-grade team, including Li Ao, were all even more excited!

It was discovered that the second-year team, which had underestimated the power of teamwork on their side, was not careless at this moment, but was more focused!
Fuck the newbies!
...

Has anyone ever thought it was possible for a sophomore team to beat a rookie team?Of course there is.

Spider-Man "swish, swish, swish" soared points like crazy, scoring [-] or [-] points in a single game, and single-handedly hardened the rookie team; the second-year team felt a collective runaway, and fought a bloody battle with the rookie team to win with difficulty; the rookie team won too How careless and underestimating the enemy, being knocked down by the second grade team...

None of the ways fans imagined the sophomore team could win were there tonight.

From the beginning of the game, the sophomore team dominated the rookie team.

Really cruel!

The rookie team's firepower is actually quite strong. Arenas was useless tonight, but Jason Richardson's single shot on the bench, Tinsley's cooperation with Gasol and Battier, Gasol's low post In isolation, Kwame Brown's rush can score.

But compared with the second-year team's team counterattack, it's not good enough!

Even if the rookie team finally forces the second-year team into a position battle, the combination of Li Ao's singles + Turkoglu's support + No. [-] pick + Eddie House's long shot will be a dimensionality-reducing blow to the rookie team.

After Turkoglu got tired and was replaced, the second-year team's positional performance declined, and the fast break shooting percentage also declined. However, outsiders Crawford, Big Q, Desmond Mason, power forwards Li Ao, Center Kenyon Martin's fast break charge is even wilder!
When Li Ao first planned this lineup, he was not aiming to score, but to overwhelm the momentum of the rookie team. At that time, he thought that in the starting stage, he would be at least [-]-[-] with the opposing talents, so he focused on this. Lie down.

I didn't expect the opponent to be so careless. In 12 minutes, they scored 38 to 27. This lineup already had an 11-point advantage when they came on the field.

But it prevents this lineup from completing the tasks they are supposed to accomplish.

After the second-year team's 8-minute rush, the rookie team immediately lost its defensive momentum!

The opponent has an organized and disciplined fast break, but these rookies retreat in a messy manner. What's the use of retreating?

Not everyone has innate defensive talent like Battier, Kwame Brown, and Kirilenko, and they can play such a tacit defense even if they have never worked together before.

A lot of them have no defensive talent.

Okay, not all the players on the opposite side are that defensively gifted, but they cooperate well!

They never thought about cooperating, and they were not prepared at all. They tried it, but they might as well not cooperate.

Not only is the defensive end unable to cooperate, the offensive end is also the same.

Gasol and Battier can complete high-position support cooperation because they are teammates, and others...

The opponents are mostly role players, so if you want to cooperate, you can quickly practice them.

Their rookie team is highly talented. Except for Joe Johnson and Haywood, everyone else has been trained as an offensive or defensive core in their respective clubs, and has never been a role player.

In the last 8 minutes of the first half, the rookie team was in a mess, playing haphazardly offensively, sometimes haphazardly cooperating, sometimes wasting shots, with no continuity, and the defensive end was completely messed up.

During this period, the sophomore team rushed to a score of 20-15.

At the end of the first half, the score reached 58-42, with the sophomore team leading by 16 points!
This start made the commentators who looked down on the second-year team before the game and wanted to watch Spider-Man's show feel like they were slapped in the face.

Those knowledgeable basketball players who showed off their basketball knowledge to their relatives and friends in front of the TV also had their faces hurt.

The fans in attendance...cheered wildly for the sophomore team!
In the atmosphere at the scene, they didn't even think about being slapped in the face, they just felt surprised.

Who doesn’t like counterattacks?

The performance of the second grade team is a model for counterattack!When everyone is not optimistic about them, press the hammer on those talented rookies!

...

Leading by a huge margin at halftime, the sophomore team didn't let up.

They themselves were pleasantly surprised by their performance.

But that's not enough!
Why do they work so hard?Of course it's to get a contract extension and make more money.

But in addition to this aspect, dreams and dignity are also the motivation for their efforts.

Once upon a time, they were also geniuses in people's eyes, geniuses that attracted much attention.
During the draft, they were full of longing for the future, feeling that they were the next so-and-so, and wanted to surpass so-and-so and become a superstar.

But reality gave them a loud slap in the face.

Even Kenyon Martin was dubbed the 'parallel import No. [-] pick' in his rookie year because of someone.

They are the group of people who really climbed out of the mud. They spent a lot of time and energy to climb to the main rotation position of the team.

This allows them to hone their tenacious on-court character. Players who come back from the draft year can often play for many years and even become evergreens. This is why.

At the same time, their desire to defeat those geniuses is stronger than anyone else!

Tonight, they finally had a chance to blast those talented players. They unexpectedly performed a performance they could never have imagined. They didn't want to let the opponent go!
16 points?not enough!
When Spider-Man offered to be a sure hand, the other eight people, including Big Q, rebelled directly and snatched the newly heated tactical board and pen from Kurt Rambis' hands and stuffed them into Spider-Man's hands. No drawing today. If they pay 8 to [-] yuan, they will... they will... just beat themselves up and show them to the captain!
Kurt Rambis was also shocked tonight. Even as the interim head coach, he never thought he could win, let alone dominate the opponent and create a 16-point half-time difference.

But this group of sophomores did it!

The reason should be the neighbor next door who was helplessly explaining the tactics.

Kurt Rambis, an assistant coach and general manager consultant for the Lakers, felt his heart bleed when he saw Spider-Man who could subdue all the players in his class.

From Spider-Man, they are only a nod from old Buzz in 3 minutes... Fortunately, someone is also miserable tonight.

Rookies, enjoy the pleasurable torture!

At the end of the halftime break, players from both teams returned to the court.

The fans cheered wildly, but they had no intention of enjoying the performance of the young singer during the intermission. They couldn't wait to see the offensive show of the second-year team.

After the first half, fans and friends and strangers around them discussed it and discovered that the second-year team not only played against the rookie team, but also played very well!
Under the poor defense of the rookie team, the second-year team's offensive coordination became more and more smooth, and even had a somewhat gorgeous feeling. The impact in the next 8 minutes was also fierce, but it was a pity that the shots were impatient and there was no Turkoglu to rush into the shot. Distribution was not done well.

The rookie team players spent 20 minutes resting, and most of them were still confused. The situation tonight was completely different from what they imagined. Kwame Brown, who had the worst psychological quality, had already lost his fighting spirit.

Arenas's eyes now seem to be breathing fire, and he wants to lead the team to counterattack.

His fighting spirit inspired his teammates a little bit.

But when they saw the second-year team players walking onto the court with grinning faces, the small flames that Arenas' temporary teammates had just ignited were instantly extinguished. In their eyes, the spiders on the necks of the second-year team members seemed to be twisting!

The rookie team sent out a combination of Arenas, Jason Richardson, Battier, Kirilenko, and Kwame Brown.

Brian Hill is trying his best to adjust the lineup. This lineup, at least in positional battles, can rely on the cooperation of the front three to defend Spider-Man... Seeing Kwame Brown's dejected look, it probably can...

The second-year team sent a combination of Crawford, Big Q, Turkoglu, Li Ao, and Kenyon Martin.

Spider-Man and the No. [-] pick were ready to play the whole game. With the confrontation provided by the rookie team, they were so excited that they didn't feel tired at all after playing half a game!

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the second half of the game began. No, it was the hunting time of the second-year team!
Rush!
Unlimited rush!
Crazy rush!
In the first half, the rookies were still resisting.

In the second half, the rookies seemed to have given up... Not all of them. Arenas was still shooting wildly, but with Big Q's single defense and Spider-Man's supplementary defense, he hit the ball like crazy and quickly broke the rookie game single-game record.

As the game continued, the fans who cheered wildly because they saw the counterattack couldn't bear it anymore.

That's horrible!
At the back, the second-year team no longer cares about defense. Some people retract their shields or serve quickly, while others rush directly, with a sense of déjà vu that is going to torture the rookies to death... It's not a sense of déjà vu, it's the second-year team. That group of underestimated players on the team is really doing that!

In the last few minutes of the game, the game scene was almost the same as last year's Rookie Challenge. The rookie team was completely numb. They watched the opponent play alley-oops in their own backcourt and make second offensive dunks. The offensive end was like a hot potato when receiving the ball. Just throw it out.

The fans originally imagined the last moments of tonight to be like this, but they thought it would still be the group of people from the 00 class. They never expected that the talented rookies from the 01 class would be beaten to numbness!
The score was 82 to 33 at halftime!

The sophomore team gained experience in the first half and played more violently in the second half, scoring 24 points more than in the first half.

The rookie team, on the other hand, scored 9 points less than in the first half!
李敖24投16中，其中三分球5中3，加上5中5的罚球，拿到40分9板5助攻5抢断6盖帽。

肯扬-马丁24分11板、马格洛伊尔8分12板、克劳福德14分6助攻、特科格鲁7分3板9助攻、埃迪-豪斯8分6助攻、大Q14分3助攻、里德15分、德斯蒙德-梅森10分。

The second-year team slaughtered the rookie team 140-75!
...

Less than a minute after the game ended, the rookie team had disappeared from the court.

How arrogant they were before the game, how painful their faces are now.

But the second-year team players no longer care about the rookies on the opposite side.

For them, the meaning of this game is no longer to 'counterattack and defeat the rookie team', but to untie the knot in their hearts. They are no longer obsessed with the title of 'genius'.

You don't have to become a superstar to gain dignity as a player. They have their own path and have found their own direction.

Li Ao, Kenyon Martin, and Magloire cannot empathize with the other six teammates in this regard, but everyone shares the same joy in defeating their opponents and defeating them when they are not favored.

They gathered together to celebrate and enjoy the cheers of the fans.

The fans went crazy for the performance of the second-year team players, and the current superstars watching from the sidelines, including the basketball gods, were all stunned tonight.

It's not that they completely think that the second-year team has no chance of winning, after all, the second-year team has Spider-Man.

But the game still shocked them.

Spider-Man's ability to lead a team is outrageous!

They thought of last season. After Spider-Man joined, the Clippers only took half a season to complete their rise and won 10 consecutive games in the middle of the season.

At that time, the media ignored Li Ao, a foreigner, and attributed most of the credit to veterans such as Gentry, Odom, O'Neal, and even Greg Anthony.

As players, they know that the addition of Spider-Man is the key.

But I didn’t expect that Spider-Man’s ability to unite a team would be so exaggerated!

Others were shocked, but Snake was very upset. He looked at the basketball god sitting next to him with jealous eyes.

mine!Spider-Man was supposed to be mine!
...

After the fans cheered and screamed, they saw that this year's rookie game scoring record was broken again.

Last year, Odom scored 37 points, breaking Kobe's rookie single-game scoring record of 97 points in 31.

Tonight, Li Ao easily refreshed this record to 40+.

而且李敖还拿到了9板5助攻5抢断6盖帽，新秀赛40+五乘以五！

Looking at Spider-Man being interviewed after the game on the big screen, he said, "Since I'm participating in the competition, I want to set a better record and don't want to be surpassed by others." Even the audience cheered for Spider-Man the whole game. Fans all think this guy is a real dog.

Without any suspense, Li Ao won the Rookie Challenge MVP and added a trophy to the study shelf.

When receiving the trophy from the school beauty, Li Ao received a task prompt.

"Kicking Kindergarten:

The host has successfully led the team to defeat the rookie team and won the Most Valuable Player Award. Congratulations to the host for winning the award: Kicking Kindergarten Level 1. "

"Kick Kindergarten Level 1:
Offense: When the host faces rookie defense, speed +2, jumping +2.

Defense: When the host defends the rookie, speed +2, strength +2. "

After saying goodbye to the fans and returning to the locker room with his teammates who were still having fun, Li Ao used the 'Kicking Kindergarten' level 2 skill upgrade card he got from playing Gasol.

"Kick Kindergarten Level 2:
Offense: When facing a rookie defense, the host gains speed +2, jumping +2, and all-round shooting +2.

Defense: When the host defends a rookie, the host gains speed +2, strength +2, and improved stealing awareness. "

Fixed bonus, very nice, no triggering conditions required, just do it when you encounter a rookie.

He wants to play the Spurs, and there is a level 3 upgrade card there.

以他的经验，1级升2级、3级升4级，都是添加效果，2级升3级、4级升5级是强化加成。

He turned off the system and took a shower. When he ate a burger and used the body's physical therapy function, he was still very excited when he saw his teammates, but there was a bit of reluctance in his conversation.

Li Ao's mood was also affected. After spending several days together, he worked hard for the same goal and exceeded the goal...

The main reason is that they only have this opportunity to fight side by side in this life, and there will be no next time.

Among these people, except for Spider-Man, Kenyon Martin and Magloire may have been selected to the All-Star twice in their peak period. Others, including Crawford and Turkoglu, are difficult to win. Get involved with the All-Stars again.

And being in different clubs, they actually have very little control over where they can go in the future.

Most of them are not stars. Even if they change teams, they still have to consider money and playing time...

Li Ao shook his head, crying at the rejection, and said: "Hurry up and take a bath and apply ice. The God of Basketball told me a fun place today. We will set off at 11:[-]. I don't care who is not prepared to be left behind." !”

Upon hearing this, the teammates quickly stopped chattering, some applied ice, and some received massages.

In the past few days, in addition to learning about their own strengths and weaknesses from Spider-Man, and how to become a better team player, they also learned a good habit - taking care of their body.

In the past, they really felt that things like physical therapy were done by the elderly. It was too embarrassing for them to be so young.

But now... Spider-Man, who is full of talents, honestly spends more than half an hour in physical therapy after every training. What are they pretending to be?

They asked Spider-Man why he was so patient in physical therapy, and Spider-Man's answer made them very motivated - "If you take good care of your body, you can play for a few more years, and earn a few more years of money, wouldn't it?"

After Li Ao received physical therapy, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the hospital assistant aunt to tell him about the fun he might have tonight.

But as soon as I turned on my phone, I received a text message from the hospital assistant’s aunt.

Sent before the game.

"I know Leo you will definitely win, haha, I guessed it right, praise me! If you win the game, have fun with your teammates. I put the saliva bag in your bag, remember to use it!"

Li Ao was stunned for a moment, the hospital assistant aunt was so... so considerate.

But he won't use the saliva pocket in the bag, so it's safer to exchange it.

He called a number he hadn't called in almost a year. Jessica is coming to watch the game tonight...
