Chapter 80 Sudden internal strife, Rookie Challenge MVP
Because it is a rookie challenge, the speed of scoring for both participants is very fast.

After Wadega made a free throw, the second-year team relied on Stoudemire to make a fast break and quickly scored two points.

Immediately afterwards, Dunn also responded with a fast break.

For the second-year team, Yao Ming just ran halfway through the court when Ginobili took the ball to the basket in the frontcourt and made a layup to recover two points.

Wade dribbled the ball across the half court again, Duane got the ball and broke into the penalty area to attract the defense, and then passed the ball to Anthony in the low post.

However, Anthony was a little sloppy after getting the ball. Although there was no one in front of him, he didn't shoot directly. Instead, he dribbled to find a feeling before shooting the jumper.

The goal is scored, but these days, this kind of goal is not an assist.

This also made Du En realize that playing brother basketball with Anthony would seem to waste some easily obtainable assist data.

In terms of grasping some of the ball's shooting opportunities, Anthony is not as good as Kobe, who is good at catching and shooting.

In other words, because the coaches of the two teams did not call a timeout, the game time soon came to 7 minutes, and the Rookie Challenge entered the first official timeout.

The rules of the Rookie Challenge are relatively close to those of the NCAA. There are two halves, and each half has only 20 minutes.

(There was an error in the previous chapter, which quoted the current Rookie Challenge competition format of 4 quarters and 10 minutes each. In fact, it was still a half-half format in 04. This has been corrected.)
If the coaches of the two teams do not call a timeout, the game will enter the official timeout at 7 minutes and 14 minutes, and corresponding advertisements will be introduced.

"Dune, can I ask you to continue playing?"

Mike Brown consulted with Dunn.

In the Rookie Challenge, both teams have only 9 players. Even if there are two lineups of starters and substitutes, there must be one player, taking into account both the starters and the substitutes.

Dunn is undoubtedly the strongest player on the first-year rookie team!

而从前面7分钟的表现来看，杜恩2投2中，拿下4分1篮板5助攻数据，打得非常团队。

Compared with the sophomore team, which fought independently, the first-year team played more methodically under the tandem of Dunn.

It is precisely because of this that in the first 7 minutes, the first grade was 27 to 22, temporarily leading the second grade team by 5 points.

"No, I'm going to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Game in the next two days.

I won't take up too much of everyone's time for tonight's game.

As long as everyone can have fun, just play to the fullest, don't worry about me. "

Dunn used this as an excuse to reject Mike Brown's offer.

When the first-year team heard what Du En said, they naturally liked Du En a little more.

Although there were not many people watching the Rookie Challenge, if it was on TV, at least several million viewers across the United States would be watching tonight's game.

The first-year rookies who are eager to become famous naturally hope to get more playing time tonight and produce more gorgeous statistics.

In fact, Du En said this just because he didn't want to travel at the wrong time with James.

The sense of happiness is based on comparison. Let James go up and play for 7 minutes, and the other players on the first-year team will know who to play around.

7 minutes of playing time, say more or less, say a lot less.If you keep playing fast break, it stands to reason that everyone will have at least 3 shots when the ball is evenly distributed.

However, James obviously also has ideas about the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, and he was not reconciled to only having 3 shots in the first half.

Because the first-year team's bench lineup is point guard James, shooting guard Hinrich, small forward Josh Howard, power forward Haslem, and center Kaman.

Therefore, it is normal for James to take the ball in the bench lineup at the beginning.

The other substitutes saw that James broke through with the ball at the beginning, and they didn't have any complaints.

After all, everyone thinks that James and Duen are the same type of players. In the first 7 minutes, Duen relied on breakthrough points to connect the team. Bosh, who was guarding Yao Ming, also shot 4 of 3 and scored 7 points in 6 minutes. efficient scoring data.

However, when James scored three goals in a row, everyone realized that something was wrong.

James called his teammates over to set him a screen, and as a result, he rushed to the basket, but failed to pass the ball to his teammates.

This directly screwed Haslem!
"LeBron, what are you doing, pass the ball to me, get the hell out of here!"

Haslem was undrafted in 02, and finally got a chance to play in the NBA by participating in the Heat training camp last summer.

Now it is only because the Heat management trusts him and fully gives him the ball rights that he can be successfully selected for this Rookie Challenge.

Haslem, who has no independent offensive ability, especially eats passes from teammates, and Haslem's scoring area is exactly the same as James, both at the basket.

Haslem was naturally not happy to see James keep eating alone, but asked him to do coolies.

James listened to Haslem's opinion, and just glanced contemptuously, and then passed the ball to Hinrich.

He looked like "Who the hell are you, I just don't care about you", and didn't take an undrafted pick like Haslem seriously at all.

Haslem stretched out his hand and missed the ball, so he was naturally even more angry!

Just about to fight with James, Hinrich broke into the basket with the ball and gave the ball to Haslem.

Haslem was a little hasty when he got the ball, but he still controlled his temper and prepared to attack the basket first and then score, but was accidentally blocked by the basket.

Seeing this, James couldn't help laughing: "That's it?"

Hearing James's ridicule, Haslem became even more angry and wanted to argue with James.

However, Kaman on the side suddenly grabbed the rebound, and then scored the ball into the basket in the second attack.

When Kaman turned around and returned to defense, he saw James and Haslem spraying each other nose to nose and mouth to mouth.

"You don't fight anymore!"

Hinrich and Josh Howard also noticed that the situation on the court was wrong, and immediately came to pull Haslem and James away.

Haslem put on an unreasonable and aggressive posture, as if he wanted to break free from Hinrich's entanglement and continued to rush towards James.

James sprayed even more fiercely when he saw this, but he had no intention of breaking away from Josh Howard.

Haslem continued to rush forward toughly, even if Mike Brown also rushed to the field, Haslem was still a bully.

Haslem doesn't really don't care, in fact, he does it on purpose.

He knew that he had made a mistake, so he chose to make the mistake. Anyway, it was already making a fuss, so it was better to attract the attention of the audience to him.

Just like what he learned in the rookie training camp yesterday, he is such an unknown blue-collar who can only do dirty work. If he wants to get ahead, he can only constantly meet stronger and more famous stars than them.

Haslem can't meet a strong opponent, and they won't choose to talk to him, so they can only take the teammate like James who just gets along with him for a day.

Anyway, afterwards, he will be suspended for a few games at most, and there will not be much loss.

However, after this battle, many fans will know him, want to know him, and become his fans.

By the way, the game was temporarily suspended because of the conflict.

And because the fight didn't really start, and James and Haslem sprayed it together.

So as the coach of the first-year team, Mike Brown could only choose to play [-] rebounds each, and put James and Haslem on the bench together.

After learning of Mike Brown's decision, James, who was very upset, turned around and returned to the locker room.

Haslem is like a victorious general, laughing on the bench.

As the game resumed, Haslem also waved a towel for his teammates on the sidelines.

After the first half, the first-year rookies and Mike Brown returned to the locker room, only to find that James had already taken away his belongings and the room was empty.

In this regard, Mike Brown has nothing to say. He can only warn everyone that after the game is over, when accepting interviews with the media, it is best not to mention the previous on-court conflicts and James' early departure.

Mike Brown said that without James, everyone can get more playing time, and as long as they can win the second-year team, everyone can get a lot of fame.

In this regard, Du En and others did not express any disagreement, on the contrary, there was a taste of rejoicing.

After the first half, it was 73 to 70, and the first grade still had a 3-point lead.

Among them, Wade has scored 16 points and Anthony has 12 points.

Dunn scored only 9 points less, but the assist data has already reached double figures.

上半场9分3篮板11助攻，下半场努努力，20+20的大号两双还是没什么问题的。

As long as the first-year team can win, the MVP of this year's Rookie Challenge is basically in Duane's pocket.

Having said that, it is also because James disappeared directly and stopped playing in the second half. The first-year team lacks people who can connect the team.

Duane, who was originally "not prepared" to play more, had to be forced to start in the second half.

It is also considered that the defensive intensity will be greatly increased in the next 10 minutes of the second half, which is not conducive to Duen's assists.

As a result, Du En continued to stabilize his character and played team basketball. He never took a shot, but simply fed the ball to other teammates.

The other players of the first-year team were naturally very moved after watching Du En's move.

After the first official timeout in the second half, Duane had just come off the court to take a break. Josh Howard, Haslem and others strongly hoped that Duane could play with them.

Under the unfavorable hospitality, Du En could only insist on playing for a few more minutes.

However, the second-year team was somewhat ungrateful. After returning from the timeout, it seemed that it began to focus on defense. The first-year team's fast break encountered tight defense.

Considering that the second-year team fell behind by 7 points and did not want to lose face to the first-year rookies, it was understandable to do so.

In short, the rookies of the first-year team watched the second-year veterans defend seriously, which seriously affected their scoring data, so they were forced to follow suit.

The defensive intensity on both sides quickly increased, and the rhythm of the game naturally began to decline, and began to focus on positional warfare.

Seeing that the point difference narrowed to 3 points, Mike Brown took the initiative to call out a timeout and replaced the players in the starting lineup who could really play and defend.

At this time, Du En retreated instead of advancing, saying that he needed to take a rest.

Du En observed that Yao Ming didn't play again after the first half, so it can be seen that Yao Ming should take the initiative not to play again in the second half.

Without Yao Ming as a low-post killer, the offensive and defensive levels of the second-year team are relatively average.

Neither Stoudemire nor Boozer will cause much interference to Duane and Wade's breakthrough.

Therefore, Dunn has the confidence to lead the team to win after returning to the field.

Mike Brown heard that Duane wanted to rest, and he didn't force Duane to continue playing, but he reluctantly agreed and let Duane go to rest.

With 4 minutes left before the end of the game, the first-year team went from leading by 3 points to trailing by 4 points. Mike Brown couldn't sit still, so he could only continue to call a timeout and replace Dunn on the field.

In this regard, Dunn has no objection, and neither do other first-year players.

Next, the first-year team is a pure starting lineup. The inside line composed of Anthony and Bosh. Although the defensive level is limited, the first-year team's outside defense is still very strong.

The second-year team didn't have a serious point guard, and it was difficult for Stoudemire and Boozer to get the ball and then attack and score at the basket.

Only relying on Ginobili to break through and kill the basket to score, under the chain link of Wade, Hinrich, and Dunn, Ginobili's demon knife is no longer sharp.

Besides, Ginobili was not prepared to play more.

Seeing that the score was overtaken, Ginobili also handed the ball to Ronald Murray and others, allowing others to hold the ball.

139 to 134, after Dunn reappeared, the first-year team turned the defeat into victory, and finally defeated the second-year team by 5 points.

Ten minutes later, the MVP candidate for this year's Rookie Challenge was also announced immediately.
