At the beginning of the second quarter, Paul sat on the bench, and Deron Williams came on the bench to take his place.
As promised before the game, Lin Yu got the ball he wanted. In the next game, he will face the strong men of the second-year team as the leader of the first-year team.
"Hi, Lin, we finally meet. I will guard you so that you can't score a single goal!"
Tony Allen stood in front of Lin Yu and said harsh words.
Lin Yu replied: "When did you learn to speak big words, Tony, you should be more sincere in your life."
The first-grade team kicked the ball out of the backcourt, and Lin Yu in the frontcourt used various words to educate Tony Allen. When Deron controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he received the ball and prepared to use basketball to continue educating Tony Allen.
"Tony, on this shot, I will make a mid-range shot."
Tony Allen curled his lips. Of course he believed that Lin Yu would make a mid-range shot, but when he knew that Lin Yu would make a mid-range shot, he would definitely guard against the shot.
Lin Yu broke through and made a direct pull when he reached the middle distance. Tony Allen, who was always ready, reacted quickly and rushed back with his hands raised.
"The first goal of the second quarter, China Lin's breakthrough, he took the shot directly from the mid-range..."
boom!
"Didn't score, the rebound was taken by Dwight Howard."
The moment Lin Yu took the shot, he knew that the ball had not been scored. After it hit the ground, he retreated directly to the backcourt.
"The goal just didn't go in, Lin, you're talking big words."
On the offensive end, Tony Allen is nothing. As long as Lin Yu follows him, he is no threat at all. However, this guy has obviously put all his energy into the defensive end. Lin Yu missed a ball and he immediately ran away.
He came back and laughed, as if he had accomplished a great achievement.
Lin Yu felt innocent. He spread his hands and said, "I just said I would make a mid-range shot, but I didn't say I would definitely make it."
"Aren't you kidding?"
"No one can hit 100 times, right? The shot just now is just the beginning. Next, I will continue to make mid-range shots until I completely defeat your defense."
Tony Allen felt that Lin Yu in front of him was a rogue. He obviously defended a ball, but in Lin Yu's mouth, he became nothing.
He also said harshly: "Don't worry, Lin, I won't let you score a goal, not even one."
"You're talking nonsense again, Tony."
On the court, the second-year team's offense had ended. Andre Iguodala went inside and scored two points on a throw. The first-year team's deficit was widened to 6 points.
Andrew Bogut served from the backcourt, but he still refused to serve directly to Lin Yu.
Deron Williams controlled the frontcourt and then handed the ball to Lin Yu. Whether Bogut gave it to him or not could not change the final outcome.
Lin Yu continued to face Tony Allen's single defense, which was no different from the previous offensive round. It was still a direct breakthrough.
When he reached the middle distance, Lin Yu suddenly stopped suddenly and looked like he was about to strike again. Tony Allen immediately turned around and pounced back.
Lin Yu raised his hand to throw, and the moment he hit Tony Allen, he immediately stopped his hand.
He took a step back to the right, and then took the actual jump shot.
At this time, the space in front of him was completely empty.
Whoosh!
The basketball got into the basket very obediently!
"I told you, Tony, I'm going to keep shooting until I beat your defense."
This time it was Tony Allen's turn to be rogue: "No, Lin, it's just a ball, it doesn't mean anything."
"But you said you would guard all my shots."
"..."
Tony Allen was silent for a while, but he was still very motivated to defend in the next round.
"China Lin's singles is still a breakthrough."
Lin Yu gritted his teeth and broke through. After Lin Yu made a shot, Tony Allen's defense became even more tenacious. He clung to Lin Yu from outside the three-point line to inside the three-point line.
"Striding to the mid-range, China Lin continued to face Tony Allen's defense and made a direct mid-range shot..."
Against Tony Allen's defense, Lin Yu struggled to turn over and shoot a jumper. This shot was more like a fadeaway jumper. The angle of the shot was very tight and it didn't look like it was going to go in.
Bogut under the basket was already ready to grab the rebound, and he was in position.
From the first quarter to now, Lin Yu has not passed a single ball to him. Bogut's performance is very frustrating, even more frustrating than in the Bucks.
Now, he just wants to grab the rebound himself and then make a tip-in.
He encouraged himself: No one is passing the ball, Bogut has to look for opportunities by himself!
Whoosh!
There was a surprising sound of the net being wiped, and the basketball got into the net frame.
Bogut was stunned for a moment, and walked towards the backcourt very disappointed.
There were cheers on the sidelines of the court, and the commentators also shouted from the commentary box: "China Lin made this very difficult fadeaway jumper. It's incredible..."
Then in the frontcourt, Lin Yu raised his hands to celebrate this extremely difficult goal.
In this shot, Lin Yu used Durant's attributes to make the shot feel like Kobe Bryant. In short, it is one point, don't be timid, just do it and shoot despite the defense!
After once again defeating Tony Allen's defense, Lin Yu did not provoke this guy any more. In the next defensive round, he continued to stare at Tony Allen alone, which was considered a fool's errand.
Then on the offensive end, he suddenly became a mid-range shooter.
In Lin Yu's impression, the second-year Durant has not yet reached his peak three-pointer, and most of his scoring relies on mid-range shots and breakthroughs to the basket. Therefore, today he took a lot of mid-range shots.
After making the mid-range shot against the defense, Lin Yu faced Tony Allen's single defense and made 3 of 4 shots. Throughout the second quarter, Lin Yu's performance was still efficient, hitting 5 of 7 shots.
He scored 10 points directly from the shot, and the first-year team's lagging deficit was evened out. The first-year and second-year teams have returned to the same starting line.
Tony Allen's defense has been completely broken by him. Although this guy has been working hard, Lin Yu's mid-range shots are becoming more and more accurate, and he can even make them against the defense.
Tony Allen obviously realized this, but he still tried hard to prevent Lin Yu's every ball.
"The game has turned into an MVP battle between China Lin and Dwight Howard. China Lin, who made 9 of 11 shots, has scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, while Dwight Howard, who has made 9 of 13 shots, has also scored
22 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.”
"The two teams are tied. Now, Howard, who has better statistics, is in the lead..."
Lin Yu, who left the field to rest after the first half of the second quarter, also noticed Howard's data. Among the first-year and second-year teams in the entire rookie competition, only Howard's data could compare with his.
Generally speaking, the MVP will be selected from the winning team, so Lin Yu must first ensure that the first-year team wins.
In the second half of the second quarter, Lin Yu stopped playing. Bogut, who couldn't catch the ball at all in the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter, finally got the ball, but he only hit one goal and didn't score.
He was replaced by Budenholzer.
For Bogut, the experience of this All-Star Rookie Game was beyond bad.
Even the commentators on the sidelines discussed the 2006 rookies: "The rankings of the 2006 rookies can already be seen. Andrew Bogut is getting closer and closer to becoming the top pick, and Chris Paul is undoubtedly the top pick.
The No. 1 rookie in this class, Raymond Felton and Deron Williams, together can be called the three top point guards in this class."
"In terms of insiders, the future development of Channing Frye and Charlie Villanueva is also worth looking forward to. As for Lin Yu, he is a cross-class rookie and will not be discussed here."
"But China Lin, who is not under discussion, is about to represent the first-year team and win the mvp trophy in this game..."
In fact, Lin Yu, who has the bonus of future memory, knows that Andrew Bogut is not considered a parallel import, and can only be said to be barely worth the number one pick.
This guy is more like the dividing line between parallel imports among the No. 1 picks. Those above him are not considered parallel imports, and those below him are almost all parallel imports.
