Chapter 203 The Real First Grade
The rookie challenge starts soon.

The sophomore starting lineup is:
Center: Tyson Chandler
Power Forward: Pau Gasol
Small Forward: Richard Jefferson
Shooting guard: Jason Richardson

Point Guard: Gilbert Arenas

Head coach Mike Fratello did not arrange tactics. Do exhibition games need tactics?

So it was just a little bit of chicken soup for these second-year veterans to get them on the field.

The first-year lineup was a bit beyond the audience's expectations:

Center forward: Yao Bi

Power Forward: Nene Hilario

Small Forward: Caron Butler
Shooting Guard: Gordon Girisek

Point Guard: Jay Williams

Amare Stoudemire, who played more violently, passionately and more entertainingly, sat on the bench!

Stoudemire's face was livid, he always believed that he was a better insider than Yao Bi, and it was Yao Bi who stole his No. [-] pick, and now he stole his starting job!
But he is only the ninth pick, and there are Nene Hilario and Drew Gooden in front of him. As long as he is not the No. [-] pick, he will not be jealous?
Yao Bi was even more displeased with Jay Williams. The second pick could not satisfy his pride. He won the NCAA championship and also won the Naismith and Wooden awards of the year. Failure to become the No. [-] pick is a failure.

After the draft, Jay Williams announced that he will definitely prove himself in the new season and is definitely better than Yao Bi.

When playing the World Championships, Jay Williams, who is 1 meters tall, tried to dunk Yao Bi, but was knocked to the ground by the "little giant".

With such grievances, can he be expected to pass the ball to Yao Bi?

So from the very beginning, Yao Bi and Nene followed Zhao Ke's suggestion——

No ball?

Create possession yourself.

In his rookie season, Yao Bi was still thin and light as a swallow. Relying on his height advantage, he easily beat Tyson Chandler in the jump ball.

He also gave the basketball directly to Nene, who got the ball and stepped into the free throw line in three big strides, and took off and dunked with both hands.

This is a slam dunk that is enough to show off in the slam dunk contest, especially the height of Nene is 2 meters, which is even more shocking, and the scene is instantly ignited!

Sophomore offense, Arenas passes to Richard Jefferson, who dribbles to the hoop for a backhand layup…

Covered by Yao Bi!
Jefferson is a bit confused, why did he cover me?

Didn't we agree on the exhibition match? This opening method is wrong!
Does this Huaxia center not understand English or did not read the instructions?

In the first-year offense, Jay Williams made a dribble error, hit his foot directly, and popped out of bounds.

The second grade continued to attack, but Arenas still gave the ball to Jefferson and asked him to return one to Yao Bi.

Who knew that Yao Ni was just a cover this time, and the real danger was Nene hiding behind the free throw line. As a result, Jefferson ignored his head and was blocked from behind by Nene again!

In the first minute of the game, Jefferson was about to cry after eating two caps.

Offensive and defensive exchanges, Jay Williams did not pass to Yao Bi, he passed to Gordon Girisek, who relied on Nene's cover to break through and make a layup.

Arenas really loves Jefferson, he passed the ball again!
But this time Jay Williams was in ambush. Jefferson got the ball and was intercepted just after two dribbles. This time he really cried.

Squeeze the wool, can you not grab a sheep?
Jay Williams didn't make a fast break. He slowly dribbled the ball across half court and threw it to Nene near the free throw line, but he couldn't see Yao Ni who was already in position.

But Nene ignored him, turned around and fed Yao Bi a cake, and Yao Pi received the dunk with one hand!
Well done!

Zhao Ke danced in the audience, happier than he scored himself.

Arenas didn't give Jefferson this time. He tried a three-pointer himself, and it turned out to be iron.

The rebound was picked up by Yao Bi. Although he didn't want to interact with Jay Williams very much, it was a defensive rebound. Passing it to Nene was simply harmful. Have you ever seen a 2 inside dribble across half court?

After struggling and hesitating for 0.01 second, Yao Bi still threw the ball to Jay Williams. Personal grievances are put aside first, and winning is more important.

After the kid got the ball, he ran all the way and made a one-stop layup.

Well, the meat bun hit the dog, Yao Bi shook his head, luckily the goal was scored.

It was the second grade's turn to attack, and Arenas passed to Pau Gasol this time, who actually wanted to play a show.

Nene stretched out his arm and buckled it. Nene didn't move. Yao Bi gave "Sister-in-law Jia" a delicious hot pot from the side and rear.

Now the second grade finally understands that the two insiders from the first grade are clearly here to make trouble, they even block dunks, they are so insane!

The basketball that was shot was picked up by Caron Butler, and he contributed another one-stop fast break dunk.

At 10:0 in the opening game, the second grade applied for a timeout.

But the timeout didn't solve the problem. The two agreed to play an exhibition game, but the first graders started to defend desperately!

This is not a problem that the second-year head coach can solve. Mike Fratello thinks he should ask the old man on the opposite side:

Old man, what do you want to do?

After the timeout, Arenas handed the ball to Pau Gasol again. This guy doesn't love anyone, he just thinks it's fun, and he will pass it to whoever doesn't score!
Gasol didn't dare to dunk this time and chose a mid-range shot, but under Nene's interference, he hit the iron.

"Boxing champion" Tyson Chandler was squeezed miserably by Yao Bi, and he didn't want to really fight in the box, so the rebounds belonged to Yao Bi.

In fact, Tyson Chandler is still very good this season. He is a typical late blooming center. Only Chris Paul can stimulate all his talents, and that will not be until after 2005.

Now, like the other two "three treasures of high school", he is still fighting against the big hat of "parallel imports".

Yao Bi and Nene teamed up to support the "no-fly zone" of the first grade. The two of them did not rest for a minute throughout the first half.

As Zhao Ke expected, the second graders turned into a jump shooting team, and everyone rushed to attack, the shooting rate was really not that good.

When the first half ended, the first grade led by 69 points with 42:27.

In the second half, Mr. Fitzsimmons was going to save some face for the second grade, Yao Ni and Nene had a rest, and Stoudemire and Boozer partnered inside.

The game finally returned to the correct rhythm of the exhibition game. Richardson first performed a one-handed dunk after a 360-degree turn in the air, and then came a two-handed reverse dunk.

此后阿里纳斯和理查德森开始下三分雨，阿里纳斯6投5中，理查德森4投4中，率领二年级打出了一波27-12的追分狂潮。

Fitzsimmons quickly replaced Yao Bi and Nene, the second grade's hope of chasing points was extinguished again, and the first grade's lead was maintained until the end.

In the end, the first-year team defeated the second-year team 125:106, and the first-year score also broke the rookie game scoring record!
