At the beginning of the second half, Lin Yu rested for a few minutes and did not appear directly.
Andrew Bogut felt that his chance had come. Without Lin Yu, he could get the ball.
As the No. 1 pick in the draft, his first-half statistics in the Rookie Challenge were only 0 points and 4 rebounds, which is obviously unqualified.
When Lin Yu is not present, it is his opportunity to improve his statistics.
But it is Raymond Felton who controls the ball on the court. The so-called "Felton" as Chinese fans call him is not a point guard whose responsibility is to pass the ball. This short and fat point guard is better at personal offense.
.
For several consecutive rounds, Felton did not pass the ball, but played alone.
After scoring consecutively, the score kept rising alternately, and the game seemed very fierce.
But Bogut couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that he couldn't afford to offend Lin Yu, who was strong and had racial discrimination behind his back. Why didn't a small man who was maybe less than 1.8 meters tall not pass the ball to him?
"Give me the ball, Raymond!"
On the offensive end, Bogut was stuck in position and directly opened his mouth to ask for the ball.
Felton ignored him, continued to play singles, and cooperated with Danny Granger on the wing, and then scored easily. Bogut could only continue to play soy sauce.
After a few more rounds, Lin Yu was already standing in front of the technical stage, and Bogut realized that his chances were running out.
He suddenly became very angry. After the defensive round, he served from the backcourt and shouted directly at Felton: "Raymond, pass the ball to me, how many times do you want me to say it? Why don't you give it to me?"
Center pass?”
Felton, however, acted very indifferently. He replied: "Give you the ball? Then send hot data to Dwight? We want to win, and now is not the time for you to brush up on data!"
Felton's words hurt his feet and he couldn't bear it. Bogut became so angry that he stopped serving. After five seconds, the referee blew the whistle.
"Five-second serve violation? What happened? Andrew Bogut seemed to have had some dispute with Raymond Felton."
On the court, Bogut's last words were: "I won't fight! Without me, I want to see how you win!"
Off the court, Budenholzer frowned, called Channing Frye from the bench, and directly replaced Bogut, who seemed to be losing his temper.
Lin Yu also took advantage of this opportunity to appear again.
"Hey Raymond, what's up with that Aussie?"
"He asked me to pass the ball to him. I didn't pass the ball. To pass the ball to him was to give Dwight Howard defensive statistics. No one would be that stupid!"
Felton pointed to the scoreboard above the arena again: "We are only 1 point behind now. We can win the second-year team. There is no way I would give up the victory of this game for the personal data of that Australian!"
Lin Yu smiled. The bottom line is that Andrew Bogut was exposed by Howard. His personal strength is not good, and no matter how he tries to persuade him, it will be useless.
This is the NBA, a place where the jungle prevails. No one cares if you are the No. 1 pick, he is an undrafted rookie, and I am a second-round pick. Here, strength is the last word!
Lin Yu was the most powerful player in this game. As soon as he came on the stage, he took over the ball and said to Felton and the others: "Now, I will lead you to win the second grade team!"
Then, he did what he said.
The second-year team has another player guarding him. Unlike the first-year team, which has many candidates for the point guard position, the second-year team has a particularly large number of forwards and swingmen. In order to allow everyone to have time to play, they have played until now in the third quarter.
The shooting guard is Andre Nocioni.
Nocioni defended Lin Yu. This guy was a bit slow, but Lin Yu hit him accurately.
In the first two shots after coming on the field, Lin Yu made two mid-range shots, and they all hit! He shot directly with his own touch.
Then, another three-pointer from the outside was hit again.
The Toyota Center suddenly went crazy. Dayao took the lead in applauding and cheering. The rookie game, which was originally a bit boring, suddenly became interesting due to Lin Yu's crazy scoring.
Especially, the first grade team actually had a chance to win this game!
The commentators shouted excitedly at the Toyota Center: "What appears in front of us now is another crazy China Lin. Just after he came on in the third quarter, he scored consecutively against Andre Nocioni's defense.
After hitting the three-pointer, the first-grade team is already 5 points ahead of the second-grade team!"
"It's incredible. I didn't expect the first grade team to have a chance to win against the second grade team!"
“Since the All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge began with first-year teams and second-year teams competing against each other, only the first-year team at the 2000 All-Star Weekend defeated the second-year team in overtime and won the MVP award at that time.
It was Elton Brand who was playing for the Chicago Bulls at the time!”
"And now, if the first-year team wins, the one who gets the MVP will be China Lin, who has already scored 27 points!"
On the court, Dwight Howard continued to catch the ball in singles, overcoming Channing Frye's defense one ball after another and putting the ball into the basket.
Every time he attacks, he can always score 2 points.
It seems that the failure to guard Howard is not Bogut's fault, but more like Howard's own fault. Who makes Howard too powerful among the centers in these two rookies?
But in the first-year team's offense, Lin Yu had already started to shoot three-pointers. He made consecutive three-pointers from the outside against Nocioni's defense, and then hit them one after another.
One after another, the three-pointers went into the net frame, bringing up the white net flowers, and the clear sound of net wiping kept ringing. Three three-pointers were scored in a row, and the entire Toyota Center went crazy.
"China Lin has entered his crazy mode. For the second time in my commentary career, I feel that shooting a three-pointer is also a pleasing thing!"
"When was the first time?"
"The time China Lin made all 26 shots!"
"It's all China Forest, crazy China Forest!"
After three consecutive three-pointers, the point difference quickly expanded to double digits.
Lin Yu, who switched to crazy mode, quickly raised his personal score to 36 points, which is close to 40 points. His scoring data has already topped the game, and his 9 rebounds are also second in the game.
As long as he wins this game, the mvp trophy belongs to him.
Stepping on Under Armor sneakers, Lin Yu suddenly thought that he was here to bring goods today. After the mid-range shot and three-pointer, he should dunk.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, when the point difference widened to 15 points, Lin Yu's personal score had reached 39 points, just one point away from breaking 40 points.
Controlling the ball from outside, Lin Yu aimed at the basket. He stopped shooting. Starting from this ball, he wanted to dunk, and he wanted to dunk a beautiful and exciting basket!
After slapping the basketball hard twice, the player defending him has been replaced by another old rival, Andre Iguodala.
He knocked past Iguodala's defense, knocked a path out of the way, and then drove straight to the basket.
But Iguodala kept clinging to Lin Yu, and Lin Yu had no room to dunk. Suddenly, Lin Yu discovered that even with Durant's attribute bonus, dunking was not an easy task.
After getting to the basket, Lin Yu didn't make a shot.
He attracted Howard's coverage, then bypassed Howard and handed the ball to Channing Frye.
Frye scored an easy layup. Bogut looked at this scene and felt very sad. He failed to get this easy scoring opportunity throughout the game.
But Channing Frye got...
After failing to dunk, Lin Yu began to think. What he needs now is a broad space. Without space, he cannot dunk, let alone a wonderful dunk...
