"This ball was shot a little too hastily!"
"Yes, they are in the lead and can definitely hit the success rate."
Some shook their heads, confused by Harrison's choice.
But at this moment, with a crisp "swish", the basketball crossed the net and finally fell to the ground.
71:51, the point difference was widened to 20!
In addition to the huge score difference, the emotions of both sides became obvious.
Especially Anthony Davis and others on the lagging side became completely serious and no longer regarded this game as an entertainment game, but as a truly important game.
"Fight back!"
The Barkley team attacked, and Irving advanced to the shoe factory. When he saw Lillard approaching, his expression was cold, and a light flashed in his eyes. It was a disguise immediately, and it was so fast that Lillard, who had just rushed forward and whose heels were not yet steady, was stunned. Time adjusted his steps, and he could only watch Owen pass by.
One step past Lillard, Irving looked straight ahead - Andre Drummond was like a tower guarding the penalty area, waiting for him to challenge.
"If you want to fight, then fight!" Irving felt fierce in his heart. Without hesitation, he didn't choose to back down. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards Drummond.
The next moment, Irving and Drummond collided.
Irving held the ball and made a fake pass to the bottom corner. The still immature Drummond subconsciously glanced in the direction of Irving's pass, and Irving immediately found an opportunity.
"drink!"
Irving let out a loud roar in the air, exerted force on his abdomen, and his whole body twisted in the air like a twist. As his body fell down, he lifted the ball with his hands and threw it towards the basket at the last moment.
A series of actions happened in a flash of lightning. When everyone reacted, there was a "swish" sound in their ears, the basketball fell into the basket, and Irving immediately fell to the floor.
"nice shot!"
"cool!"
Some professional players sitting on the sidelines also exclaimed and praised the fans.
This is indeed a good shot. As a defender, when Irving faced Drummond who was 2.1 meters away, he did not choose a more rational dodge and layup. Instead, he chose to shoulder the opponent hard and finally scored. .
While people admire wise men for making rational judgments, they will not forget the passion that emotional brave men bring to them.
Especially for sports, the brave are definitely more popular than the wise!
The various intrigues in life are already tiring enough. Isn’t the reason why we watch basketball the most primitive passion and emotion?
If you really like intrigues, you might as well watch the struggles and changes in the business world!
"LeBron, Kyrie's talent is very good!" Paul smiled at James.
"Well," James nodded and said happily: "Like me, he was selected for the All-Star Game in the second grade..."
It can be seen that James has a good feeling about the new leader of the Cavaliers.
Maybe... it might not be a way out.
"The new generation is better than the old generation!" Anthony exclaimed.
"That's just the future. It's better for us to control the changes in the league now!" Wade said calmly.
This statement was recognized by the other three members of Banana Boat.
The young people on the court, Wang Zelin, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Lillard... all have amazing talents, and they are all geniuses among geniuses.
But don’t forget, even if you are a genius, there is still a gap between geniuses. As representatives of the 2003 Platinum Generation, Zhan, Wei, and An do not feel that the waves they made when they entered the league will be greater than those of the gang in front of them. Young people are weak.
Make it look like someone is not a genius!
On the court, the second quarter is coming to an end.
Barkley's team adopted the three-point tactic arranged by Barkley during the timeout, increasing their outside shots and frequently shooting for three-pointers.
Irving and Bill had obviously good touches, hitting 3 of 5 shots in total. Coupled with two tip-ups by Anthony Davis, the score changed to 77:66 at halftime.
The 20-point deficit was chased to 11 points in the final two minutes.
…
"Coach, I'm sorry, I failed everyone's efforts..."
Returning to the bench, Drummond was obviously a little depressed.
The brief duel between the 12th No. 1 pick and the No. 9 pick in the first round ended with Drummond's defeat.
Also in Wave 3, the two teams made a total of 11 crazy shots in the last two minutes of the first half, and each attack lasted about 10 seconds.
Under such circumstances, Anthony grabbed 4 rebounds and Drummond got 2.
The number one scholar deserves to be the number one scholar!
Drummond once again clearly understood: Among the players in the same class, Anthony Davis beats him.
As for Wang Zelin...
In Drummond's view, Wang Zelin is no longer a guy who can be described as a genius, but the latter should be described as a monster.
Compared to the monster-like Wang Zelin, Anthony Davis, who is even more talented than himself, seems extraordinarily real.
It seems that my short-term goals need to be changed.
Drummond thought to himself.
"It's okay. We are still in the lead now. I will adjust the lineup in the second half. Andre, do you have any objections?"
O'Neill knocked on the tactical board and said.
"No!"
"Okay," O'Neal nodded and continued: "Everyone cheer me up in the third quarter. I want to make the game lose all suspense after the third quarter..."
"Wang, you continue to do a good job of protecting the frame..."
"Damien, Clay, you only took 13 three-pointers in the first half, which is not too few. It is far from enough. I will set a goal for you in the third quarter. The two of you took 15 shots..."
"Kemba, Dieng, the same goes for you two. Your combined three-point shots are less than double digits. Your minimum goal in the third quarter is 10 shots..."
"I can tell you responsibly that if I fail to achieve the goal I set, none of you will even think about playing in the fourth quarter. How about it? Do you have confidence?"
In the locker room, Shark's rough voice shocked the hearts of every rookie.
"No problem, sir!"
Klay Thompson was the first to shout.
It's just a three-pointer, doesn't it just have to have the hands?
"Can't hear it, try again!"
"do it again!"
O'Neill shouted sharply.
"Yes! No problem! Sir!"
Lillard yelled.
"Very good! Very energetic!"
Seeing the high morale of the crowd, O'Neal was finally satisfied.
…
Buckley's locker room.
Although they lost by 11 points at halftime, their confidence was rekindled once again when they thought that the original point difference was 20 points.
"Boys, it seems that our tactics are correct!"
"The point difference is only 11 points. It is not difficult for us to equalize the score at all..."
"It turns out that we are far stronger than our opponent. We were just too careless before, so everyone should pay attention to this game in the second half and don't give them another chance to expand the score!"
Chasing 9 points in two minutes gradually calmed down Barkley's irritable heart. For this team with young cores from each team, I know it will be difficult for me to blend them together and play tactics like O'Neal's team. .
In fact, Barkley still can't understand how that guy O'Neal convinced a group of young people who were not afraid of anything.
And start a strategy!
And the effect is not bad... This is outrageous.
Shaking off those messy thoughts, Barkley suddenly realized that he had another way to help the team move forward.
That is - chicken soup!
But this is exactly what Ou Zhuangyuan wants.
Our arrogant and arrogant European No. 1 pick is a soft-spoken player, and Barkley's recruitment plays into his game.
After drinking a cup of chicken soup, Irving felt full of energy. He pulled TT and Anthony Davis together, gathered his teammates together, and discussed arrangements for the second half.
Irving, who scored 17 points and 5 assists in the first half, initially gained the trust of his teammates. In addition, Anthony Davis, who was also the No. 1 pick, did not reject Irving's hidden boss status, and others were even more okay with it...
…
…
…
During the halftime break, the bustle inside the arena did not dissipate.
With the appearance of the cheerleaders, various programs are being staged.
At the same time, major media seized the time to conduct a series of interviews.
"Yao, the king has already got 14 rebounds in the first half. Do you think it is possible for him to set a new NBA rookie game rebounding record tonight?"
Hunter Fox Sports reporter asked.
"Judging from the current trends, the possibility is very high!"
Yao Ming said.
"What about you, Director Zhang?"
"Hahaha! On this point, Dayao and I both feel that we are very hopeful after the game and set a new rebounding record in the rookie game. I think every Chinese fan is also looking forward to that moment like us!"
"Okay, thank you both for the interview!"
…
At the end of the halftime break, players from both teams returned to the court.
For Barkley's team, the combination of Thomas, Rubio, Aleksesheved, Kenneth Farrier, and Nikola Vucevic came on the court.
Although Barkley wanted to chase points, this was a rookie game after all, and every rookie had to play more or less time. He did this to avoid being criticized after the game.
But when Barkley saw the opponent's lineup, he suddenly began to regret it.
Looking at it, the O'Neal team sent a combination of Kemba Walker, Lillard, Klay Thompson, Dieng and Wang Zelin.
I understand, this is all calculated by the O'Neal team!
Buckley exclaimed in his heart.
At the last moment of the first half, O'Neal replaced the stronger starting lineup and brought in the second lineup. This must be to give Wang Zelin and others more rest time.
The most important thing is that O'Neal must know that he will replace players who have never played in the second half...
So despicable!
Across the way, O'Neal, who was about to come and chat with Barkley, saw a confused look on his face and gave up his plan.
After the short preparation time, the referee blew the whistle to restart the game, and the Barkley team served to attack.
Thomas Jr., who was on the All-Star stage for the first time, saw this battle and felt the enthusiasm of more than 30,000 fans inside and outside the stadium. Adrenaline hormones... I want to kill them!
"Player: Isaiah Thomas
Height: 175cm
…
Overall rating: 74”
When Isaiah Thomas, who is 1.75 meters tall, appeared on the court, he instantly became the center of the field.
Wang Zelin specifically checked the strength analysis given by the system to the future "Landmark Strongest 175".
The result made him a little disappointed. The overall evaluation of 74 was just the core level of an ordinary team's rotation.
But as soon as I think about the heights this little man will reach in the future, respect arises in my heart.
1.75 meters tall, in the world of giants like the NBA, to put it bluntly, he is a "third-class disabled person."
In addition, the opponent is the 30th pick in the second round of 2011, which is the last one.
He is drafted low, short, and is a guard who focuses on scoring. It is simply the standard configuration of "get out of here after your rookie year."
In the end, no one expected that this guy was indeed very capable. He averaged 11.5 points per game in his rookie season and was one of the only players among the 11th rookie class to score in double figures.
By the second year, Thomas's statistics increased across the board, further proving that he was absolutely capable of establishing a foothold in the NBA, thus gaining the love of the majority of fans.
Inspirational... became his biggest label!
Coming to the frontcourt, Thomas used the pick-and-roll to break through, get inside and then pass the ball to Rubio. Seeing a good opportunity, the latter raised the ball decisively from outside the three-point line.
"Oops!"
"Watch out there!"
Some anxious fans yelled, trying to alert O'Neal.
In fact, without their reminding, the reaction of professional players made them aware of Thomas' little plan. Lillard immediately turned around and flew towards Rubio, raising his hands, dancing in the air, and covering Rubio's head.
"Hey!" The European golden boy chuckled, took the ball back, and took a step to the left.
It turns out that the previous move was a fake move.
With one step to avoid Lillard's block, Rubio raised the ball again, glanced at the basket, and took the shot calmly.
"Uh-huh!"
The ball hit the net hollowly and the three points were scored.
In the transition between offense and defense, O'Neal's team continued the play style of the first half, relying on Wang Zelin on the inside and Lillard and Klay Thompson on the outside.
The advantage of this is.
Midway through the third quarter, Wang Zelin's personal rebound count exceeded 20.
17 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal!
Wang Zelin filled up all his data columns.
Fortunately, Kemba Walker seems unable to adapt to this kind of aggressive play, otherwise Wang Zelin may have even more rebounds.
But this is scary enough.
There are only a handful of 20+ rebounds in the rookie game, let alone the 21st century, even if you look at the history of the NBA rookie game.
The most recent rookie game with 20+ rebounds was accomplished by Hood Blair of the Spurs in 2012.
It is worth mentioning that in that All-Star Rookie Game, Hood Blair became the winner of the most rebounds in the rookie game with 23 rebounds.
Now, Wang Zelin has less than three quarters left and has pushed his rebounds to 20, only 3 rebounds away from Hood Blair's all-time record.
There’s still a quarter and a half left!
Three rebounds?
For Wang Zelin, breaking Hood Blair's record and becoming the first in history is almost a certainty.
Countless fans are now paying attention to Wang Zelin, expecting him to break a new record as soon as possible and become the new rookie player. The profit is the rebounding king.
