I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 115 The Four Heroes, MVP of the Rookie Challenge! (4000, please subscribe)

"Let me introduce to you, this is Melon, Carmelo Anthony, and my brother. This is Hawthorne, and this is Dwyane Wade."

When the rookie training camp was about to start, Anthony, who was late, finally arrived at the scene.

When James saw the visitor, he immediately stood up from his seat, stepped forward to greet him, and brought Anthony to Huo Song, Wade and the others by the way, and helped him make an introduction.

"I know you, add me! I also want to compete for the best rookie!" Anthony said as soon as he came.

Obviously, James had already told Anthony before that he was competing with Huo Song and Wade for the best rookie.

Perhaps Anthony also has the idea of ​​brother basketball.

Anthony and James are not similar if they don't fight. They have been fighting each other as early as in the AAU.

Although neither of them was selected for this year's All-Star Game, James and Anthony are still the most anticipated rookie duo since Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

On the contrary, Huo Song, the only rookie selected to the All-Star this season, didn't have so many expectations.

It can only be said that foreigners are not worthy of being the sons of the United States, and are not worthy of the high hopes placed on them by the Americans.

"Welcome, but I only welcome you to play together tomorrow." Huo Song stepped forward familiarly, and offered to give Anthony a hug.

Speaking of which, the regular season has been played for half a season, but the Pistons and the Nuggets have never played a game.

After entering the NBA, Huo Song never met Anthony, and it was just a one-off meeting during the draft.

Anthony smiled shyly when he heard what Huo Song said, and he did this. Don't look at the society, but usually people don't talk harshly.

Anthony is not good at communicating with people, but is better at competing on the court.

Therefore, Anthony usually posts chicken soup articles on social media.

Usually playing games, even if the coach sprayed him, he would remain silent.

It is precisely because of this that Anthony rarely has conflicts with other teammates in the locker room, but it is also true that it is difficult to really control the locker room and become the team's locker room leader.

From a certain point of view, this is also the reason for Anthony's lack of ability to lead the team.

If you want to be successful in the NBA, you don't have to rely on strength alone.

Now Anthony is dumb and doesn't know what to say.

He looked at Huo Song, looked at James, held back for a long time, and then said: "I am looking forward to tomorrow's game.

It should feel good to play as teammates with LeBron.

Huo Song, I know you, I have been paying attention to you, you are really strong.

If it wasn't for LeBron, I'd see you as my biggest competitor.

I'm also looking forward to playing with you, we win the game together, it will be a great thing. "

Wade on the side really wanted to talk, but he didn't know where to start.

"It's obviously a story of four people, why am I always ignored?"

……

The future stars of the Platinum Generation gathered at the rookie training camp, but few really listened carefully.

Although Anthony was sitting with Huo Song and James, he took out his mobile phone and started playing with it.

The three of Huo Song recorded while listening, and they seemed to be well prepared.

Anthony occasionally glanced at James, but continued to play with his phone indifferently.

Most of the other players on the scene were in a fishing state similar to Anthony, and some people had athlete's foot, uncivilized, taking off their shoes and picking their toes!
After playing in the class, Huo Song and the others dispersed and escaped from the training camp one after another, and went on their own way.

"Let's have a meal together? How about it?" Wade suggested.

Anthony heard this and said: "Okay, it's the first time we meet, I'll treat everyone to a meal."

It is still comfortable to be brothers with Anthony. It is no wonder that James and Anthony have a very good relationship.

It is rumored that James and Anthony went out to play together. Anthony fell into the sea and was almost drowned. The others in the company didn't notice it, but James noticed it. In the end, it was James who rescued Anthony.

Afterwards, his partner asked James how he noticed it. James took out his mobile phone and looked at it, smiling without saying a word.

After Guage paid for the consumption of the audience tonight, Huo Song and others went to the training ground to play.

They're all rookies, and it's hard to get together, so it's still necessary to play heads-up.

James and Anthony were very confident at the beginning, but it didn't take long for Huo Song to be excluded.

With height and strength, the wing singles are too buggy. If it is only in the low position, no one of the other three will be Huo Song's opponent.

Even if it is extended to the three-point line, it is not very easy to use a breakthrough to beat Huo Song. The only one who has an advantage is Wade, not James and Anthony.

Playing games, being abused all the time is definitely unacceptable.

After Huo Song changed his identity and became a referee, the other three had a great time.

Anyway, it's just playing, and no one cares about winning or losing.

Whether it's a human or a ghost, it doesn't matter if James gets beaten, as long as everyone is happy.

"Would you like to see Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning?"

"I would like to, but I'm worried that I won't be in good shape tomorrow. I'm going to grab the Rookie Challenge MVP!"

Huo Song thought so too, but James said these words first.

So, before twelve o'clock, the nightlife of the New Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust ended before it even started.

……

On the second day, the Rookie Challenge was held as scheduled.

The starters of the two teams are: freshman, point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward Carmelo Anthony, power forward Chris Bosh, and center Huo Song.

Sophomore: Point guard Manu Ginobili, shooting guard Marko Jaric, small forward Amare Stoudemire, power forward Carlos Boozer, center Yao Ming.

It is worth mentioning that the second-year starting guards are actually both shooting guards, and both forwards are power forwards.

But there is no way, who said that the starters and substitutes are obviously stronger?

The Rookie Challenge is where rookies suddenly come together to play together. There is no cooperation in the first place. Tactics and coaches are actually not important, it only depends on the individual level of the players.

In fact, the first-year configuration looks good. This season, Wade will play more of a point guard.

Now let Wade play off the ball, and he can't match Marko Jaric in height, this is basically a delivery.

Without further ado, the game will start soon.

"Chris, are you coming or should I come?" Huo Song took the initiative to discuss with Bosh before the jump ball.

In the first grade, Huo Song and Bosh can both jump the ball. Anyway, they are facing Yao Ming, and the chance of winning is not very great, so Huo Song took the initiative to give in.

"Then let me do it! Save some energy for tomorrow's main match!" Bosh was not polite to Huo Song either.

He has nothing to do to come to the All-Star Weekend, but he can't waste his time in vain.If you can't rely on the jump ball to get a little bit of limelight, then you really don't have any shots.

Yao Ming thought that Huo Song would jump the ball with him, but it was Bosh who didn't expect to call.

Doing mental calculations but not intentionally, Bosh fought hard and returned the ball in the air with his wingspan advantage. Yao Ming was not prepared enough and failed to jump the ball. In the end, the first grade got the ball.

James unhurriedly held the ball and advanced. The defense in the second grade was not tight, and it seemed a bit defensive with eyes.

"Okay then, let's show off to each other!"

James is a good brother, he is loyal, and he throws the ball to the basket as soon as he comes up.

In fact, at this time, there are three inside players standing under the basket in the second grade. If they are serious about defending, Huo Song's alley-oop will be quite difficult.

However, the second grade didn't defend very much, and Huo Song had no pressure to catch dunks, helping the first grade to score 2 points first.

After playing the first ball, everyone knows how to play.

Although the first grade returned to defense quickly, the next step is basically to put the second grade to shoot.

Ginobili passed the ball to Stoudemire, who also made a dunk by Stoudemire.

Upon seeing this, James immediately stepped forward to grab the ball in his hands, and then took a step back to the bottom line. Anthony and Wade immediately ran forward when they saw this.

By the time James made a long pass from the quarterback to the frontcourt, Wade had single-handedly reached the basket.

However, Wade did not rush to dunk himself, but went forward and continued to kill the basket.

He didn't take off until he rushed to the basket.

It was hard for the audience to believe what they saw next. Wade could score, but he just didn't dunk.Instead, he chose to show off, and passed the ball behind his head without looking at people after taking off.

Anthony stopped at first, but Wade actually chose to pass the ball. That is to say, Anthony has good physical fitness, stepped forward to pick up the ball, took a step forward and directly jumped and dunked.

Anthony's take-off height is a bit low, which makes people worry that this dunk will be blocked by the basket. Unexpectedly, the ball is still dunked into the basket, but it lacks some visual impact.

"Good job!"

"I didn't expect you to pass the ball to me."

"We're teammates, aren't we?"

"Yes, we are brothers."

After Wade made a fuss, he took the initiative to find Anthony when he returned to defense. Anthony didn't want to say anything to Wade, but he was still very moved.

After the fast break in the first grade, the second grade also had a wave of fast break, but Stoudemire couldn't hold the ball firmly, and the skater went out of bounds.

The first grade had an extra wave of possessions for nothing, so James waved a three-pointer to see if he could score.

James hit the iron as soon as he came up, which made Huo Song and Bosh suffer, and had to fight for rebounds under the basket.

Defense can be ignored, but rebounds still have to be grabbed, which is also an opportunity to brush up statistics.

It's just that there are really many insiders in the second grade, not to mention three-on-two, Yao Ming is also very tall, and he has a great advantage in rebounding.

An inch is long and an inch is strong. Yao Ming has an advantage in the crowd by relying on his height to protect this defensive rebound.

This time the second grade didn't pass the ball rashly for a fast break. Instead, they advanced normally and then attacked inside steadily.

Boozer caught the ball and singled Bosh under the basket. Bosh lacked experience and was easily beaten by Boozer.

Looking back, the first graders played the rain and dew evenly, one person with one ball, no matter whether they scored or failed, they played against their opponents in order.

There are many outside players in the first grade, and the offense is more on the outside.

The second grade has a lot of inside players. Although Yao Ming didn't attack much, the distribution of the ball is also different from the egalitarian first grade. The ball is mainly concentrated in the hands of Stoudemire and Boozer.

As Stoudemire and Boozer repeatedly succeeded in the interior and kept refreshing the team's scoring, the gap in the game was slowly widened.

Fortunately, Yao Ming only played for more than ten minutes in the whole game. As the height of the second grade dropped, Huo Song's advantage in the interior was highlighted.

Whether it's Stoudemire or Boozer, Huo Song can't be defended against inside alone.

Even second-year backup center Nene Hilario has nothing to do with Huo Song.

"Now you know who is the thigh?
Tell me brothers, wanna win?

Why don't you give me the ball? "

Following Huo Song's order, the two good brothers James and Wade responded one after another and kept feeding Huo Song the ball.

Huo Song originally had an advantage in low-post singles, but now he has a defender to help create opportunities, let alone attack.

After the first half, Huo Song made 11 of 9 shots and 4 of 3 free throws, scoring 21 points.

It was also Huo Song's exaggerated scoring efficiency that helped the first grade reverse the game.

In the third quarter, Huo Song only played half of the quarter, but he still made 5 of 3 shots, 2 of 1 free throws, and scored 7 points.

After three quarters, neither team had a winner, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Huo Song, the MVP of the Rookie Challenge, had no chance of running away.

Both sides didn't defend much in the first quarter, but who made Huo Song play such a terrifying offensive efficiency?

Seeing that Huo Song was playing so hard, the second-year players secretly tried their best to defend Huo Song.

However, Huo Song can still maintain a fairly good offensive efficiency.

Huo Song's efficiency in the third quarter is enough to explain everything. Even if he defends seriously, the second-year players present are not Huo Song's opponents.

Huo Song is already an All-Star player!

Therefore, as long as Huo Song still plays in the fourth quarter, no matter whether he wins or loses the game, the result of the Rookie Challenge MVP will be the same.

The first-year head coach is Herb Brown. Huo Song took a half-time break in the third quarter, and everyone knows what will happen next.

Of course, other first-year players have no objection to Huo Song having more playing time in the fourth quarter.

Playing the Rookie Challenge is not only for the limelight, but also for winning the game.

After playing a good game, it is impossible to increase the defensive strength at a critical moment, and then lose the game unsatisfactorily, right?
What has become of this?Is this a data brush?

The first-year rookies definitely don't want to lose. Now that Huo Song can lead them to win, they can't wait for it!
In this way, Huo Song, who played in the fourth quarter, was fully fired. As soon as he came up, he made 5 of 4 shots and scored 8 points in a row.

Even if Yao Ming is brought out again in the second grade, Huo Song can still score in other ways.

After the fourth quarter, Huo Song made 11 of 7 shots, 5 of 3 free throws, and scored 17 points in a single quarter.

Thanks to Huo Song's efforts to turn the tide, the final score of the game was 135 to 128, with the first grade slightly beating the second grade by 7 points.

And Huo Song, who scored 45 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, was elected as the MVP of this Rookie Challenge without any suspense.

"Congratulations, Hawthorn! Congratulations on becoming the MVP of the Rookie Challenge!" James was the first to go up to congratulate Huo Song.

However, it didn't take long for Huo Song to be overwhelmed by other teammates, and the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge fell into the hands of James...
