The timeout ends and the game continues.
The second-year team replaced Rose and replaced him with Gallinari.
The first-grade team did not make any substitutions and was still the same team.
Back from the timeout, the sophomore team attacks.
Westbrook quickly dribbled the ball forward and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack.
In the low post area on the right, Gasol leaned on Blair and reached for the ball.
During the timeout, the second-year team coach Ewing seized on the flaws in the first-year team's lineup and arranged offensive tactics for the players to hit the inside.
The Great Turtle followed the tactics and immediately hoisted the ball into the paint.
Gasol received the pass, lowered his shoulders and center of gravity, sat back with his butt stuck out, pushed his back a few times, then turned towards the penalty area, took advantage of his height and wingspan, and threw the ball out with a throw. .
Blair raised his arms to interfere, but the effect was minimal.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
10:2!
Relying on Gasol's throw, the second-year team finally achieved a zero breakthrough.
Sun Yi, who rushed back to the basket to help defend, saw this scene and felt that there were indeed some hidden dangers inside.
Without thinking much, Sun Yi picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, served the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
Evans received the pass, quickly advanced toward the frontcourt, and launched a run and gun.
Curry is all too familiar with run-and-gun tactics. He immediately rushes to the frontcourt and looks for opportunities to catch and shoot from the outside.
The players on the second-year team were still loose and did not retreat in time.
The first grade team got the opportunity to play more against less.
Sun Yi ran to the right side of the three-point line to receive a pass from Evans, and continued to sprint towards the basket without stopping.
When he rushed to the front edge of the penalty area, he stared at the basket, but the basketball in his hand passed to the left three-point line.
Curry received the pass, jumped up directly, and shot a three-pointer towards Westbrook who was coming to defend him.
The primary school boy relied on the hot feeling in his hand and started to have sex.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with one hand, and dunked it into the basket.
12:2!
The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.
"Good shot! Sun's rebounding sense is very good and he completed a powerful putback dunk." Barkley commented.
On the court, the second-year team still chose to attack the inside.
Sun Yi quickly rushed back to the penalty area and double-teamed Gasol with Blair.
Gasol didn't panic at all when he was double-teamed. He is a big center with the ability to respond. After protecting the ball, he found his teammates and immediately passed the ball.
Gallinari received the pass from outside the three-point line on the right and shot a three-pointer before the first-year team's defensive players arrived.
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
12:5!
The ball is in transition and the first-year team attacks.
Evans dribbled to the three-point line without stopping, quickly made a crossover and then directly broke into the three-point line.
Gasol and Gallinari immediately retreated to the basket to defend.
Seeing this situation, Evans did not choose to break through the basket and pass the ball out.
In the mid-range area on the right, Sun Yi received the pass, shook Beasley who came to cover, and immediately pulled up and hit a mid-range jumper.
In the next few rounds, the second-year team's condition improved somewhat, and they scored consecutively through strong play inside, gradually narrowing the point difference.
Seeing that the second-year team was about to gain momentum, the first-year team immediately made corresponding adjustments.
Sun Yi began to sort out the team's offense. With the bonus of the badge [Arc Top Dealer], he accurately passed the ball to the best position, assisted his teammates to score consecutively, and stabilized the situation on the court.
When the first half of the game lasted about 7 minutes, it entered the official timeout time.
The rules of the Rookie Challenge are different. It is divided into two halves, each half is 20 minutes.
At this time, the score on the big screen was 28 to 20, with the first-grade team leading by 8 points.
Sun Yi scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists during this period.
In such an entertainment game, the defensive intensity is not high, as long as the strength is sufficient, it is very easy to brush up the data.
Even so, there is still a certain gap between him and his mission goal, and he needs to make persistent efforts in the next game to complete it.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
The first-year team made substitution adjustments, replacing Sun Yi and Curry and replacing them with Flynn and Gibson.
The second-year team also made substitution adjustments, replacing Beasley and Gasol with Gordon and Love.
After substitutions and adjustments, the first-year team attacked.
Evans dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, observed it and then passed the ball.
Outside the three-point line on the right, Flynn immediately started after receiving the pass, quickly changed his direction in front of his body, shook Mayo's center of gravity, and accelerated over.
Mayo's defense was originally very poor, and coupled with the lack of serious defense in entertainment games, it was simply a defensive black hole.
At the same time, Flynn broke into the penalty area and scored a layup before Love's help arrived.
In fact, Love is not suitable to play center, his ability to protect the frame is limited, and he has no way to deal with the first-year team's quick attack on the frame.
But in order to keep up with the speed of the first-year team, the second-year team had to replace the heavy center and enhance the mobility of the lineup.
Back, the sophomore team attacks.
Love hit Blair with his back in the low post. After a few hits, he found that he couldn't hit Blair at all. He was forced to turn back and then turn over and shoot a jumper.
Blair defended very well and did not lose his position, which caused a lot of interference to Love's shooting.
The result is self-evident, the basketball missed the frame and missed.
Under the basket, Gibson got stuck and grabbed the defensive rebound. He immediately found Evans and passed the ball quickly.
After receiving the ball, Evans immediately sprinted forward and launched a defensive counterattack.
Jennings, who was on the fast break, received a pass from Evans, took the lead and rushed into the penalty area, flying for a layup.
On the bench of the first-grade team, Sun Yi, who was resting, saw what happened on the court and smiled and clapped his hands in congratulations.
Originally, he was a little worried about the rotation stage of the game, thinking that the second-year team would take this opportunity to recover the score, but he never expected that the second-year team would mess up their position and fail to take advantage of them.
The sophomore team paid a heavy price in the next few possessions.
They couldn't score on the offensive end and couldn't defend on the defensive end. The score was quickly opened up by the first-year team.
Ewing, the second-year head coach of the team, knew that there was a problem with the lineup structure and immediately made substitution adjustments, replacing Gasol to strengthen the defense in the penalty area.
After substitutions and adjustments, the second-year team stopped the decline and began to chase points.
When the first half of the game lasted 15 minutes, the head coaches of both sides made substitution adjustments again.
Sun Yi, Curry and others went into battle again, replacing Evans, Jennings and others.
The second-year team replaced Westbrook and others and replaced Beasley and others.
After substitutions and adjustments, the first-year team, under Sun Yi's teamwork, played very smoothly offensively, scoring frequently and further widening the point difference.
The second-year team didn't have much cooperation. They basically played singles. When they were feeling hot, they could recover a few points. However, once the shooting rate dropped, the offensive end was paralyzed and the point difference was widened again.
At the end of the first half, the score on the big screen was 75 to 59. The first-grade team led by 16 points entering the second half.
During the halftime break, DeRozan and Gordon had a dunk contest showdown in advance.
DeRozan easily defeated Gordon with a variety of dunks and won the last spot in the dunk contest.
Not long after, the short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.
First-year team lineup: Curry, Evans, Harden, Sun Yi, Blair.
Second-year team lineup: Westbrook, Mayo, Gordon, Gallinari, Gasol.
In order to chase points, the second-year team coach Ewing deliberately sent the player with the best three-point shooting in the team to the court, intending to copy the Magic's one-star four-shooter tactic.
The second half of the game started with the sophomore team serving the ball and attacking.
Westbrook dribbled to the top of the arc, waved to the inside, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.
At this stage, the main thing is to recover the points difference, and it is no longer important to save face.
Gasol immediately ran forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
The turtle bypassed the screen, got rid of Evans' defense, and quickly rushed towards the basket.
Blair quickly changed defense and blocked Westbrook's breakthrough route.
At the same time, Sun Yi let go of his defender and quickly rushed back to the penalty area to help defend.
Seeing this situation, Westbrook chose to pass the ball.
Gasol Jr. near the free throw line received the pass and immediately passed it without sticking the ball.
Gallinari, who was outside the three-point line on the right, received the pass and jumped directly to shoot.
"Uh-huh!"
The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!
75:62!
The first-grade team quickly sent a baseline kick, and Evans ran towards the frontcourt after receiving the ball.
The second-year team was prepared and retreated quickly. Except for Gasol, all other players retreated.
Seeing that his teammates failed to take advantage of the opportunity, Evans reached outside the three-point line and broke straight into the penalty area.
Westbrook immediately moved sideways to block the ball and used his body to confront Evans head-on.
Evans, known as "Little James," did not change direction and directly confronted Westbrook physically. Without stopping, he carried the giant turtle and broke through to the basket.
Seeing this situation, Gallinari immediately rushed over to help defend against double-teaming.
At the same time, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area at full speed, preparing to catch the ball and lay up.
Evans' vision was blocked while traveling and he had no space to pass, so he could only make a high layup.
The basketball bounced out of the frame after wiping the board and failed to score.
Under the basket, Sun Yizeng jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.
After scoring the goal, Sun Yi made a special celebration and then quickly returned to defense.
The sophomore team served quickly, and Westbrook immediately accelerated forward after receiving the ball.
Gasol, who had just reached the free throw line, felt a strong sense of malice and recalled the unpleasant memories of playing against the Warriors.
There is no other choice but to continue running back and forth.
On the bench of the second-year team, Anthony Randolph saw what happened on the court and mourned Gasol in his heart.
Although he really wanted to play, seeing Gasol's miserable state, he would rather sit on the bench than play.
On the other side, Westbrook did not wait for his teammates to get into position and broke through to the basket while the first-year team's defense was not yet formed.
Sun Yi, who rushed back to the basket, saw this situation and stood up in advance, straightening his arms to interfere.
The giant turtle did not stop, leaned on Sun Yi, and threw the ball.
However, what I didn't expect was that Sun Yi actually stood up and caught the ball!
The more Sun Yi watched, the more he found Westbrook extremely pleasing to the eye.
This guy is such a good guy!
The first-grade team launched a defensive counterattack, and Sun Yi immediately threw the ball forward.
Curry, who was on the fast break, received the pass, quickly came to the three-point line, took off and shot.
At this moment, Gasol ran to the side of Curry, stretched out his arm to interfere, but hit Curry on the arm.
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle and punished Gasol's thug for a foul.
Curry stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and steadily hit the extra penalty.
The ball is in transition and the sophomore team attacks.
Westbrook slowed down the offensive rhythm, came outside the three-point line and hoisted the ball inside.
Gasol finally encountered the basketball after running back and forth continuously. He took advantage of his height and wingspan to shoot a mid-range jumper over Blair.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Running back and forth made Gasol's physical strength decrease. In addition, he hadn't touched the ball for a long time and his hands felt cold.
Under the basket, Sun Yi grabbed the defensive rebound, turned around to find his teammates, made a long pass, and accurately passed the ball to his teammates on the fast break.
Harden, who was on a fast break, received the pass, stopped directly outside the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer.
Seeing the first-year team's three-pointers go wide and the score getting bigger, the second-year team felt a sense of urgency.
In this round of offense, Westbrook broke through and passed the ball to the outside.
After Gordon caught the ball, he took a three-pointer despite Curry's interference.
Unfortunately, he missed the shot and the basketball missed the frame.
Blair blocked Gasol and created opportunities for his teammates to rush for rebounds.
Sun Yi rushed back to the penalty area to grab the rebound, turned around and sprinted towards the frontcourt.
Seeing that the second-year team's defense was unorganized, they rushed directly into the penalty area, and after physical confrontation with Westbrook who came to cover the defense, he scored a hard layup and caused a foul at the same time.
Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and steadily hit the extra penalty.
After that, the second-year team tried to shoot three-pointers from the outside in order to chase points.
But there are too few shooters in their team, and with Westbrook, Mayo and others causing trouble, the three-point shooting rate is pitifully low.
The first grade team took this opportunity to quickly play defensive counterattack.
Sun Yi felt good tonight and hit two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.
Curry's touch is equally hot. As long as he receives a pass from Sun Yi, he will basically make a three-pointer.
When there were about 6 minutes left in the second half, the first grade team already led by more than 30 points.
Seeing that the situation was over, the second-grade team gave up the game, no longer seriously defended, and played the game as an entertainment game.
Seeing that they had a chance to win, the first-grade team also began to give up their defense and put on a show.
Since neither team defended, the score kept rising.
For this kind of entertainment time of comparing who can shoot accurately, Curry is simply like a bug. No one can defend his shooting rate as high as 98%, which is very scary.
In this way, as time passed quickly, the game came to an end.
In the end, the first-grade team defeated the second-grade team 145-106.
