Chapter 116 The Outbreak of the Second Grade in the Challenge
The rookie challenge is about to start, and the first-year side has a lineup of Eric Bledsoe, John Wall, Anson, Blake Griffin and DeMarcus Cousins. Same as before the start, 3 from the Clippers and 3 from Kentucky.

Anson doesn't care about this situation. Kentucky's three players are very good, just like his teammate Eric Bledsoe. His talent has been fully demonstrated in the past few months and he has become indispensable for the Clippers One member, but compared to Butler, An Sheng will not back down. He was last year's MOP, and he is far ahead in the competition for the best rookie. No matter where he is, he has to prove that he is the best player in this class strong player.

The second-year lineup is also very strong, Stephen Curry, James Harden, last year's Rookie of the Year and Rookie Challenge mvp winner Tyreke Evans, this year's block king Sergey Yi Bacca, and fellow Rookie Challenge MVP DeJuan Blair last year.

However, although the second-year lineup is strong, it can't stand this place called Los Angeles, this stadium is called Staples Center, and there are three Clippers players in the first-year. Teams combined play more times on this venue.

At the beginning of the game, the basket at the Staples Center was also very respectful to old friends. An Sheng faced Tyreke Evans' defense and hit a three-pointer. The basketball passed through the net directly. The three-pointer made the commentator couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh! What did I see, An Sheng's three-pointer? Please remember this scene, at least I have explained [-] Clippers games here, this scene It’s really worth taking pictures for me.”

The somewhat humorous language of the commentary made many Clippers fans present couldn’t help but smile knowingly, thinking that at the beginning of the season, when An Sheng received the ball in a wide open three-pointer, what they silently said in their hearts was don’t shoot, don’t shoot .

"Good job!" Eric Bledsoe patted An Sheng's butt, he didn't expect his teammates to start to get angry as soon as he came on the court, and then he looked at himself who was gearing up for a big fight when he was in college Two college teammates, John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins, who initially took over the point guard duties, suddenly felt like they were caught in the middle.

Fortunately, another teammate of mine, Blake Griffin, has made it very clear that he has no interest in this award, otherwise, when he thinks of the scene where four people open their hands to him, his head hurts. This is not wanting him to ask for the ball, it is simply asking him for his life.

But the second-year players did not relax because of this. Since the Rookie Challenge was held, it has almost always been the second-year side that won. Under the leadership of Ann Blair, they completed the counter-kill against the sophomores. In this way, the 08 rookies became the first rookie team in history to fail for two consecutive years, and now the 09 rookies are going to The first team to win two years in a row strives.

James Harden's alley-oop directly assisted his Thunder teammate Serge Ibaka. This ball is definitely not a beautiful pass for the average player. The height of the basketball is almost close to The top of the backboard.But for this pair of Thunder players who cooperate tacitly, this height is just within their budget.

Serge Ibaka, the temporary block leader this season, fully demonstrated his exaggerated jumping ability in this lob, even the white monster Blake Griffin, who is famous for lobs behind him, was surprised His eyes widened, as if to say, can you catch the ball?Are you a monster or am I?
This beautiful lob made the fans of the Staples Center, even the Clippers fans, have to give their applause without hesitation. After all, this is just the Rookie Challenge, and it is the stage for this group of rookies to perform. Seeing this They are still very happy with the performance.

However, Blake Griffin was not very happy. Although he hadn't had any idea about the mvp of this rookie challenge, because his goal was tomorrow's slam dunk contest, but he was caught in the head It's a little bit wrong that the Internet is so raging, and it's still in Los Angeles.

"An! Pass the ball to me!" He said to An Sheng suddenly as he ran forward sullenly. He believed that An Sheng would naturally understand what he meant. He wanted to use an alley-oop to get the field back.

The game continued to be fought fiercely, and for several minutes, Anson did not find a good opportunity to help Blake Griffin regain face. The main scoring force on the second-year team has become Stephen. Curry, Anson just made a three-pointer at the beginning, and the second grader in front of him seems to have regarded this skill as his regular weapon.

Eric Bledsoe's defense was completely a display in front of him. Stephen Curry took advantage of his taller height to easily find the shooting space with just a cross step. His hand shape compared The shooting posture mentioned in various shooting teaching videos is not standard, but there are only two advantages, one is accurate, and the other is fast.

And it is enough for a shooter to have these two advantages. The Staples Center was directly rained by Stephen Curry for a three-pointer. Three-pointers, direct three-pointers after a single block, and non-stop three-pointers after receiving the ball. Throughout the first quarter, Stephen Curry used four ways to shoot in front of Eric Bledsoe He scored four three-pointers, and he seemed to be giving a lesson to this little guy who was a well-known shooter in college. The title of the lesson was how to shoot three-pointers in the NBA.

Even if it was a performance game, Eric Bledsoe couldn't stand being shot three-pointers on his head like this, but his three-pointers were exchanged for hitting the iron again and again.

Well, this time, after Blake Griffin was humiliated by Serge Ibaka with a stunning lob dunk before Anson could get him back with a pass, Stephen Curry This side made a more ruthless hand, directly stabbing four knives in Eric Bledsoe's body. The second-year player didn't want to give the first-year rookie a chance at all. The score was 33:21.
