Chapter 262 Winning the Rookie Challenge MVP Again
On February 2, the 15 NBA All-Star Weekend was held in Phoenix, Phoenix.
The players who entered the East and West All-Star main selection and bench lineup this year are as follows.
Eastern Conference: Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and Dwight Howard.
Subs: Ray Allen, Devin Harris, Mo Williams, Paul Pierce, Danny Granger, Rashard Lewis, Joe Johnson.
Western Conference: Ye Hao, Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemire, Tim Duncan and Dayao.
Subs: Shaquille O'Neal, Brandon Roy, Chris Paul, Chauncey Billups, Pau Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki, David West.
His teammate Durant is very envious of Ye Hao becoming the top voter for two consecutive years and participating in the All-Star Game as a starter.
He could only participate in the Rookie Challenge for two consecutive years, and he didn't even reach the threshold of an All-Star.
Stimulated by Ye Hao to sign up for almost all the All-Star projects this year, he also signed up for a new project HORSE that just appeared this year.
He thinks this competition is quite interesting, as for other dunk contests and shooting contests, forget it, he has self-knowledge and is not Ye Hao's opponent.
Ye Hao has already abused him countless times during training, so he won't go to the All-Stars to seek abuse.
Being abused during training is a private matter, but when it comes to the All-Stars, it is public for everyone to see.
Durant doesn't want to lose face?
But before the HORSE competition, the Rookie Challenge was held first.
Last year, under the leadership of Ye Hao, the first-year team ended the six-game winning streak of the second-year team, and Ye Hao also won the MVP trophy of the rookie game.
This year, his status was changed, and Ye Hao became a member of the second-year team.
In addition to him, the second-year team players are: Kevin Durant (Thunder), Jeff Green (Thunder), Al Horford (Hawks), Al Thornton (Clippers), Ty Dees Young (76ers), Wilson Chandler (Knicks), Ronnie Stuckey (Pistons), Luis Scola (Rockets).
First-year players: Derrick Rose (Bulls), OJ Mayo (Grizzlies), Marc Gasol (Grizzlies), Greg Oden (Blazers), Andre Jordan (Grizzlies) Thunder), Goran Dragic (Thunder), Russell Westbrook (Bobcats), Michael Beasley (Heat), Brook Lopez (Nets).
It can be seen from the roster of the second-year players that the Thunder has five players, almost half of the team.
Originally, Ibaka and George Hill were also expected to be selected for the first-year team, but there is no way, the performance of other players is really more eye-catching.
From the perspective of Ye Hao's traveler, the guys in this grade team are really star-studded.
The future growth space is definitely more than many people in the second-year team.
Most of them will grow into stars, even superstars.
And many of the players in the second-year team are just qualified role players.
In that case, can the first-year team beat the second-year team?
You have to fight to know.
But the first-year team definitely wants to win.
Last season, the first-year team won. There is no reason why they will give up this victory when the next year arrives.
It's just that when they play, they will find that it is very difficult to win.
Because there is Ye Hao and Durant in the second-year team.
So the impression given to them throughout the game was that Ye Hao sent an exquisite pass and assisted Durant with a dunk.
Ye Hao sent another exquisite pass under the double-team, assisting Durant to score a high jumper.
Ye Hao is constantly transporting shells, and Durant is constantly making shots.
This second-year team is a bit like their duo.
The first-year team still relied on Rose and Westbrook's consecutive breakthroughs to grab points, barely biting the score, and did not widen the point difference for the second-year team.
However, the sophomore team still led by 5 points and entered the second quarter.
When the game resumed, Ye Hao rested off the court, and the first-year team took the opportunity to score.
They played a 13-4 scoring climax and overtook the sophomore team.
Ye Hao then returned to the field.
As soon as he came up, he received a pass from Durant on the outside and faced Westbrook.
To Ye Hao, this scene was quite interesting.
In the previous life, Westbrook was originally going to be selected by the Thunder, but because of his time travel, Westbrook went to the Bobcats, and he himself went to the Thunder.
The fate of the two has since changed.
But capable people shine wherever they go.
After Westbrook went to the Bobcats, after sitting on the bench for a week or two, he gradually gained more and more playing time under the hands of head coach Larry Brown.
Later, he became the starter and played very well.
Now that the two are facing each other in the rookie game, Ye Hao raised the ball and swayed it in front of Westbrook's eyes, which caused Westbrook's center of gravity to shift slightly. He then released the ball and quickly broke through Westbrook.
When Westbrook controlled the center of gravity and turned around to chase, Ye Hao had already made a cross pass, sending the basketball out of the perimeter, giving it to teammate Durant, and assisting him to make a three-pointer.
Looking back, Rose attacked with the ball.
After dribbling the ball across the half, he immediately started quickly and forced Ronnie Stuckey.
Rose's first step was too fast, Stuckey couldn't defend at all, and was rushed in by Rose.
After Rose broke in, he encountered Horford's defense from the inside.
He came up with a pull-up fadeaway jumper.
Very solid pitch hit.
Windy City Rose has a hand.
The second-year team attacked, and Stuckey dribbled the ball to play by himself, from the backcourt all the way to the frontcourt, and rushed to the basket.
As a result, Jordan gave him a crisp big hat.
Ye Hao grabbed the offensive rebound and brought it to the top of the arc.
Westbrook comes on defense,
Then you're welcome, use your height to force you.
Ye Hao made a direct pull in front of Westbrook and threw in relatively easily.
It is easy for Ye Hao to hang and beat a tortoise that has not yet formed.
It's just that the tortoise is a little unhappy, he has been bullied by Ye Hao continuously.
He wanted to find a chance to return it. For the arrogant turtle, he would not take anyone seriously.
In the next few rounds, the ball finally got into his hands.
He met Ye Hao with the ball.
Breakthrough, knocked Ye Hao away with his strong body, and then scored a layup.
That's Westbrook's strategy.
His speed and strength are the two biggest weapons for him to establish himself in the league.
It's just that he just took a step and the ball just landed, and he felt empty in his hand.
He groaned inwardly.
Turning around and going back, seeing Ye Hao already broke his ball and ran forward.
Westbrook hurried to catch up.
In front, Ye Hao rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, raised the hand, and smashed the basketball onto the backboard.
The basketball bounced back, and he jumped to get it, followed by a crotch change-hand dunk.
This made the audience watching the game applaud again and again.
Kobe, James, Wade and other stars who were watching also stood up and applauded with "wow".
"This kid is quite good at playing!" Kobe said with a smile.
James nodded, "He played very casually. If this ball is used in the slam dunk contest, it can get full marks."
The All-Star Weekend is actually just for fun. The more you play on the field, the more the audience likes it.
Ye Hao played more freely this year than last year.
How to have fun, how to play cool things, he was good at it in his previous life.
This year he completely let go of himself, changing tricks dunks, all kinds of exquisite passes that don't look at people...
Well, of course, if you play too much, you will inevitably make mistakes.
But if you play it, you don't care if it makes mistakes or not.
Play is handsome and chic, that's good enough.
Just like what he said to Ah Lian after the Yanbei Olympics, "When you play on the court, you have to let go, let go of yourself. Get involved, don't have any worries. Foreign players are human beings, it's no big deal. Only Only by letting go and playing as much as you want can you make yourself the center of the world."
He not only encourages the UAE, but also allows the UAE to communicate more with his teammates. He hopes that the UAE can integrate into the team, gain a firm foothold in the NBA, and achieve results.
He himself did the same thing.
The more relaxed the mind, the more freely you can play on the court.
Of course, he had fun playing this kind of completely free and cool way of playing at the All-Star Weekend, but when he returned to the official game field, he would not do it like this.
After all, what kind of things do you do on what occasion?
However, even if the occasion is different, let go and fight, do your best, then it's OK.
Ye Hao dunked the ball into the basket, smiled at Westbrook after landing, and ran back to the backcourt.
Westbrook was a little puzzled, why is this guy smiling at me?
The first-year team attacked, Rose brought the ball over, and at the top of the arc, threw the basketball to the basket.
Played an alley-oop with Jordan.
Looking back, Durant broke through with the ball. He could layup by himself, but he threw the basketball back, and played an alley-oop dunk with Ye Hao who was following behind.
For this kind of juggling goal, the audience watched with gusto.
But after watching this for a long time, they still want to watch some real fights.
And this, in the last quarter, it was time to decide the outcome.
The smell of gunpowder, fierce fighting, the final result depends on the last quarter.
In the first three quarters, the second-year team was 102 to 97, leading the first-year team by 5 points.
Before the start of the fourth quarter, Ross and Westbrook of the first-year team took the initiative to gather their teammates together and said that they would play the last quarter seriously. Last year, the first-year team won, and this year they cannot lose to the first-year team. face, this year still has to win.
Everyone had no opinion on their proposal and nodded in agreement.
It's just that Dragic and Jordan looked at each other, and they didn't quite believe that they could do this.
The message in their eyes is that the boss is so strong, how could he be easily defeated?
Once back in the fourth quarter, the first-year team attacked.
The ball was given to Westbrook.
He controlled the ball and pushed forward. Ye Hao defended him quite loosely and let him take a big step.
This means that if you have the ability, you can shoot from a long distance.
He just looked at Westbrook's three-point shooting ability.
But of course, this is also a bit of entertainment in the All-Star Game. During the All-Star Weekend, few people will try their best to play.
A little bit is a little bit.
It is not only to make the game more attractive, but also to save a little energy for myself, which will be used after the All-Star Weekend.
Westbrook didn't take a shot, he chose to pass the ball to Marc Gasol.
After passing the ball, he said to Ye Hao: "We want to beat you, so we have to play seriously in this quarter."
Ye Hao smiled lightly and said, "Then let's play."
With his back against Horford, Marc Gasol turns and hooks the ball to the rim.
Ye Hao got the ball under the basket, he dribbled forward and said loudly to his teammates, "Hey, play better in the last quarter, the rookies said they want to play seriously and want to beat us. Remind yourself."
The second-year players on the field all agreed with a bang.
"Haha, it's interesting." Kobe said with a smile on the sidelines.
"That's right." James nodded and said, "It's only interesting if you play hard."
Ye Hao came over with a dribble, and Westbrook clung to him to defend.
It's really a bit serious.
Ye Hao dribbled the ball with his back and leaned on Westbrook to push it in.
The young tortoise, who was still a rookie, couldn't withstand his strength, and was forced to step back by Ye Hao.
Seeing this, Ross moved over to attack.
But Ye Hao didn't wait for him to move, he squeezed Westbrook back a step, followed by a beautiful turnaround jump shot, throwing the basketball in.
Looking back, the first-year team missed a layup, and Durant grabbed a backcourt rebound.
He rushed forward with the ball, and quickly played with Ye Hao.
Seeing Ye Hao approaching the basket from the other side, Durant tossed the basketball over the basket and played an alley-oop with Ye Hao.
From the fancy coordination played by the two of them today, it can be seen that the tacit understanding or chemical reaction between them has indeed been practiced.
Rose drove the ball and made a layup.
The ball didn't go into the basket, but was chased by Ye Hao from behind, sent a big hat, and slapped it directly.
The second-year team received the basketball, and the ball continued to be given to Ye Hao. Ye Hao rushed to the top of the frontcourt and immediately rose to the ground. He shot from outside the three-point line and the ball scored.
This last section is almost like Ye Hao's solo performance.
You can have whatever you want.
No matter how the first-year team wanted to enter, they felt that it was not going well.
After all, the rookies who have just entered the league and played for more than three months are still immature, no matter what kind of superstars they can grow into in the future.
In this game, they couldn't get it back no matter what.
He could only accept the fate of being beaten by the second-year players led by Ye Hao.
136 to 121, the second grade team won by 15 points, and Ye Hao scored 21 points in the last quarter.
Cutting vegetables and melons is just like cutting vegetables.
他全场得到47分6个篮板11次助攻2个盖帽3次抢断。
Originally, Durant wanted to win the rookie game MVP trophy. He played very well at the beginning of the game, and Ye Hao kept passing him the ball to let him score.
However, later, Ye Hao stood up and scored.
Damn, how can I win the MVP of the rookie game?
In the end Durant scored 28 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
And the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge was naturally taken away by Ye Hao.
Durant is really a little envious.
