But at this time, the first-grade team showed unprecedented unity. Tyreke Evans and Taj Gibson both set up pick-and-rolls for Lian Dao.
Lian Dao received a pass from Brandon Jennings at the midline, created an opportunity through the pick-and-roll of his teammates, and quickly took action.
"brush!"
It’s really amazing!
"Here it comes, here it comes, this unreasonable three-pointer." James Harden sat on the bench and watched Lian Dao's performance, as if he was back in the Knicks' game against the Thunder.
Curry, a primary school student, was waving a towel at this time, very excited, as if every three-pointer from Lian Dao hit his G-spot.
After Lian Dao hit a three-pointer from the midline, he did not challenge again. After all, everyone has finally come to the championship and it cannot be a performance stage for himself.
Lian Dao also took on organizational tasks at this time.
After the second-year team saw Lian Dao give up the challenge, the second-year team members also breathed a sigh of relief. If Lian Dao continues like this, even if their second-year team wins the game, it will become the biggest background and the most critical thing.
But they are still lagging behind.
As Lian Dao began to organize passes, Brandon Jennings and Tyreke Evans also continued to contribute wonderful dunks and three-pointers.
Taj Gibson seemed to have returned to his college days and when he competed in the NCAA, especially when he once again experienced the feeling of putting the ball to his mouth.
Gibson made crazy moves, and Lian Dao also scored a lot of assists.
Since the defensive intensity in the All-Star Game is not high, the competition is about scoring efficiency.
After three quarters, the first-grade team led 118:99, leading by 19 points.
In the third quarter, Lian Dao and Curry cooperated. Lian Dao sent 10 passes to Curry in the third quarter alone. Stephen Curry did not disappoint Lian Dao, hitting 6 three-pointers in 10 passes.
, Lian Dao had 12 assists in the third quarter.
This time there was a pass from Lian Dao, and Curry also shot from the outside, hitting difficult three-pointers one after another. Especially Lian Dao was willing to pick and roll for Curry, which moved the primary school student a little.
He has been extremely unhappy in his stay with the Warriors recently. The team boss's public suppression meant that he didn't have much ball rights in the team, let alone pick-and-rolls. Basically, he tried his best every time he shot.
After he played three outstanding performances in January, it did not make Monta Ellis improve himself. On the contrary, it made Monta Ellis increase the pressure on him after returning from injury.
This made him think about discussing his future direction and positioning with the management.
Because of his experiences this season, he is really not sure whether the team management wants to develop him or whether they selected him just as a passer for Monta Ellis.
…
In the last quarter of the game, both the first and second graders were pumped up. The last quarter was the decisive moment and they had to take it seriously. Especially the second graders were 19 points behind. This was not good news for the second graders.
As a second-year head coach, Ewing doesn't want the second-year team to be defeated by a first-year rookie.
But how can you say that a first-year rookie who is already in good shape can be suppressed by suppressing him?
The first graders all played defense, and all of them wanted to win this victory.
You must know that there is no defensive slot on the first-year team, especially the defense line formed by Lian Dao and DeJuan Blair, one inside and one outside, making every attack of the second-year team very difficult.
Westbrook saw that Derrick Rose really had no desire to attack, so he took the offensive power into his hands in the third quarter and kept driving inside to score layups.
But as the second graders kept playing, they found that they couldn't get close to the score.
Lian Dao continued to use second-year double-teams to deliver cannonballs to Blair under the basket. This time, Blair also experienced the joy of Gibson eating cakes in the first half.
Lian Dao passed the ball to Curry on the outside who had just replaced him in the double team, and then Curry hit a key three-pointer, extending the score advantage to 21 points in one fell swoop. The second-year team could no longer recover.
Final 148:130.
The first grade team achieved the final victory.
This game excited all the fans in the audience.
The first-year players on the court were also celebrating excitedly. It has been seven years since the first-year players beat the second-year players. Even the "Little Emperor" James and "Melon" Anthony never did it.
But this year they worked together to do it, and they did what many superstars failed to accomplish in their rookie seasons.
This victory also ended the seven-year losing streak of the first-year players in the Rookie Challenge.
According to the technical statistics after the game, the second-year team Westbrook exploded, making 18 of 29 shots and scoring a game-high 40 points.
If it hadn't been for the sophomore loss, Westbrook, the MVP of this game, would have been firmly in his hands.
On the first-year side, Lian Dao scored a team-high 36 points, 27 assists and 10 rebounds, a super triple-double.
In addition to Lian Dao, Evans scored 26 points, 5 steals, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds; Blair scored a large double-double with 22 points and 23 rebounds.
Although Evans and Boozer performed well, Lian Dao still undisputedly won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.
When Lian Dao won the MVP trophy, the audience burst into loud cheers, and the fans in front of the domestic TV sets were also particularly excited.
This is the first time a Chinese player has won an MVP trophy in the NBA, although it is only the MVP trophy for the Rookie Challenge.
If Yao Ming's success in the NBA is an example, then Lian Dao's win as the MVP of the Rookie Challenge this time represents that a sport that black people can play, we Chinese can also play.
This game happened to be held on the morning of New Year's Eve in China. Many students and office workers were already on vacation. After the ratings of this game came out, many people's jaws dropped.
Not counting the online live broadcasts of Somelang Sports, the CCTV live broadcast alone reached 83.42 million according to preliminary statistics. You must know that this is a live TV broadcast, and the number of viewers is much higher than the statistics in the data.
…
After the All-Star Rookie Game, Lian Dao and his junior sister returned to the hotel.
Lian Dao didn't know why, but every time the junior sister wore his No. 1 jersey, the full headlights made the somewhat fat jersey fit on the junior senior's body without feeling unfit at all.
Especially when the little senior sister only wears a jersey when she only has Lian Dao, it always arouses Lian Dao's inner desire.
Sometimes Lian Dao couldn't help but wonder if he had any control.
But I was not like this in my previous life. Although I was very romantic in my previous life, I didn't play in such a fancy way.
Could it be because of the system?
System: Yes, yes, all dirty thoughts come from me. It’s shameless.
…
The next day, today Lian Dao will participate in the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest.
In addition to Lian Dao and Stephen Curry, the contestants for this year's Three-Point Contest include two veteran All-Star players, Paul Pierce and Billups. In addition, there are center Channing Frye, as well as the previous
Cook, the current three-point shooting champion.
Speaking of the three-point shooting contest, we have to mention one person, and that is Larry Bird. Since the establishment of the three-point shooting contest, he has won the championship in the first three three-point shooting contests. His phrase "You are here to
Fighting for second place” comes from the three-point shooting contest.
Of course, as a troublemaker who wants to get involved in everything, Chicago Braised Egg also participated in the three-point shooting contest, but Braised Egg only scored the lowest score of 5 points. This can be said to be the dark history of Braised Egg.
However, the three-point shooting contest after 2000 was far less enjoyable than before, especially as the winning score of the three-point shooting contest became lower and lower. Ray Laren even won the 2001 three-point shooting championship with only 19 points.
This year's Three-Point Shootout Contest finally has something to watch. The addition of Billups and Pierce has raised the level of the Three-Point Shootout Contest, and the addition of Lian Dao has also made the Three-Point Shootout Contest even more interesting.
Lian Dao's participation in the three-point shooting contest also attracted much attention to the 2010 three-point shooting contest.
Stern also smiled proudly at this time. He was very lucky that he personally invited Lian Dao to participate in the three-point shooting contest and dunk contest.
But he never understood that the reason why Lian Dao participated in these two competitions had nothing to do with him.
This season Lian Dao averaged 14.3 three-pointers per game, averaged 7.3 field goals, and averaged 51% three-point shooting percentage per game. It can be said that Lian Dao is a player who uses three-pointers as a conventional weapon.
So fans today are also curious about whether the two veterans can defeat Lian Dao, who shot 51% from three-point range.
