There was a strange phenomenon before the rookie game started, that is, Milicic came in carrying James' luggage, but Milicic was talking and laughing freely, without any embarrassment at all. On the contrary, James looked complacent and kept talking.
He said to the people passing by: "Did you see that Darko is helping me carry my luggage?" And Milicic followed up with: "Yes, you read that right, that's it!"
The more this happens, the more others feel that Milicic does not look like he is carrying luggage for James. The taller man looks more like he is taking care of his little brother.
Although everyone did not pay attention to this matter and James failed to overpower Milicic, James was still very happy because the big man promised not to score any points in the rookie game.
In this game, Bill Walton, Charles Barkley and other celebrities from major TV stations came to the scene. Barkley said to the TV camera: "Hey, can you imagine, a guy who even played in the rookie game in his rookie season?"
A kid who didn't make it to the top became an All-Star starter in the second year, and he is very likely to become a contender for MVP this season. I dare say that Milicic's existence is a miracle."
Bill Walton also mentioned Milicic when he came this time: "This guy is like the uninjured version of me. Although he can't bear the word great now, believe me, one day his name will be
Part of the NBA."
The starting lineup for the sophomore team is:
Darko Milicic, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Luke Ridnour
The starting lineup for the first grade team is:
Dwight Howard, Emeka Okafor, Josh Smith, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon
Before Milicic went to fight for the ball, James patted Milicic and said with a wicked smile: "Darko, you have to be trustworthy! I believe in your character!"
Milicic smiled and said: "Oh, it's up to you. Anyway, my goal is to win the championship. I'm just here to play with you."
James' next words were choked back by Milicic. With these words, Milicic directly expressed that he was aiming for the NBA's highest honor, and he didn't pay attention to this rookie game at all. From a height point of view, James is already better than
Milicic was much lower and fell behind even before the match.
Milicic and Howard competed for the ball. It is undeniable that Howard's jumping ability is really better than Milicic. The ball was directed to the first-year side, and Ben Gordon controlled the ball. However, the first-year half-time advance was not
It's really difficult. Except for Ridnour, the three people who are later said to be the strongest three of the 03 generation, James, Anthony, and Wade, have extremely amazing athletic abilities, and their range of control is huge.
The requirements for passing accuracy and strength are particularly high. Coincidentally, none of the first-year players played point guard, so they felt the difficulty of the game from the very beginning.
If there is a disadvantage on the outside, then the inside becomes the breakthrough point for the first-year players. These two first-year inside players are very trustworthy. They are both players who can almost get double-doubles in their rookie seasons.
After Gordon passed the ball to Smith, Smith tried to break through James, but he seemed to be trapped by a big net and had to pass the ball to the inside. As soon as the ball entered the inside and was taken by Howard, Milley saw
Cic was already in front of him, and there was no room for him to move forward. Howard felt that his footing was not stable, so he took a step back and dribbled the ball. In this gap, Milicic stretched out his left hand.
Shooting the basketball that Howard was carrying with his right hand is the advantage of being a left-hander. It poses a greater threat to the ball handler who is right-handed. The ball flew out from the left. Milicic ran from Howard's right side and then steadily
Steadyly controlling the ball, this action was like passing the ball in basketball, and Milicic looked like he was going to counterattack. Luol Deng Heng tried to steal the ball on the counterattack route, and at this moment Milicic
Qi took advantage of the situation and leaned on Luol Deng. He turned around and said that Luol Deng was behind him, but Luol Deng and Josh Smith, who were closest to Milicic, did not see the basketball in Milicic's hands. It turned out that Milicic
When Qi turned around just now, he used the power of his turn to stretch out his arms and shake his wrists to throw the ball away. Wade, who was about to leave, received the ball and directly completed the attack with a chop.
In the first half of the half, Milicic received a steal and an assist. The fans at the scene first exclaimed when Wade dunked, and then even more after the slow-motion replay, Milicic was so weird.
Look at the entire field of passing like a ball, from intercepting the ball to passing the ball to passing, the whole action is like a performance.
"Wow! Did you see what Darko did just now? He is like a 2.16-meter magician. If you look at Howard, he seems to be stupid. Can any of you give Forrest some tips?
Tell him where the basketball is, and tell him he doesn't have to stand there waiting for the delivery." Barkley was complaining crazily, who made this his favorite Darko Milicic.
And Bill Walton was also saying over there that the emergence of Milicic means the rise of another center era. Usually when a super player appears in a certain position in an era, there will often be some strong opponents. Jordan
There are opponents like Drexler, Miller, and Wilkins. Olajuwon also has opponents like O'Neal, Robinson, Ewing, and Mourning. Duncan also has opponents like Garnett, Webber, Nowitzki, and Bu
Rand and O'Neal Jr. are opponents, so after a superstar appears in a position to dominate the league, it will affect the draft trend and the focus of team building. Other talents will emerge in the same position.
Milicic himself didn't expect that his series of interceptions, passes, and passes could be praised so much, but what he knew was that James's face was ugly. James and he were both enemies and friends.
of that relationship.
Next, it seemed as if all the blood in James' body was on fire. Milicic knew that this kid was unwilling to see him in the limelight. It seemed that the first-grade team was going to suffer.
But what was even worse was Luke Ridnour. In the backcourt, James shouted to Wade: "Pass the ball to me!"
Ridnour himself has no performance like a flying dunk, and he has no right to take action in front of these people who are at the All-Star level or quasi-All-Star level. The only thing he can do is dribble to the frontcourt and get a few assists.
But James didn't even want to give him this opportunity.
Ridnour looked at the back of James dribbling and comforting himself: "Let those ugly people show off! At least I can still find true love without playing basketball..." (To be continued. If you

ps: The unit organizes a basketball game... I haven’t fished for many years, and I can’t even recognize the net. There are still ten days of competition, so I need to exercise...
