(Thanks to Bai Humor Children's Shoes for the reward~)
It didn't take long to wait. On February 2th, Li Shihao and the others came to the All-Star Rookie Challenge.
The first-year team is selected: Tyreke Evans (Kings), Omely Casspi (Kings), Stephen Curry (Warriors), Lee Se-ho (Timberwolves), Brandon Jennings (Bucks), James Harden (Thunder), Taj Gibson (Bulls), DeJuan Blair (Spurs), Jonas Genebook (Pistons)
Sophomores: Derrick Rose (Bulls), Michael Beasley (Heat), Eric Gordon (Clippers), Kevin Love (Timberwolves), Brook Lopez (Nets) , Danilo Gallinari (Knicks), Russell Westbrook (Thunder), Marc Gasol (Timberwolves), OJ Mayo (Grizzlies)
Li Shihao was not used to such a duel lineup. Long-term training teammates Kevin Love and Marc Gasol were both in the opposite second-year team, and in the first grade, there were many players who were not interested in Li Shihao.
Today's Rookie Challenge is not easy to play!
Li Shihao sighed, thinking to himself whether he should fight to deal with it by the way, Curry suddenly brought Jennings and Harden to Li Shihao.
"Bruce, we will try our best to give you the ball tonight, and you will distribute the ball!" Stephen Curry spit out such a sentence with a smile.
Li Shihao was very surprised, he didn't expect Curry and the others to pay this attention.
"Why, Stephen, you are not people who easily listen to other people's opinions. I don't really believe that you will be willing to listen to my assignment."
Stephen Curry smiled, shook his head, looked back at James Harden and Jennings, and explained: "Bruce, you are the strongest among us right now, we all admit this, but the second-year opponent The strength is not weak, especially the guy Derrick Rose, you and I have suffered a lot from this guy in the NCAA."
"This year he has improved even more. He has completely changed from the NCAA period. He is extremely powerful. Now you are the only one who can compete with him."
"His breakthrough is so magical that it is difficult to let go, and his overall view is excellent. Once the breakthrough is successful, whether it is attacking by himself or distributing the ball to teammates, we will be in a hurry."
"The strength of the second grade is not weaker than us, and they have one more year of competition experience than us, and they are much more mature than us in terms of experience. Only by working together can we beat them!"
"You all want to win this game?" Li Shihao looked at Curry and the others with great solemnity in his eyes.
"Yes, we don't want to continue the history of being beaten by the second grade in the rookie season. This year is the eighth year. The first seven rookies were defeated by the second grade without any accident. This time we need to end this history! "
Li Shihao laughed when he heard the words, "Then call Tyreke Evans and the others together!"
As soon as the words came out, Stephen Curry glanced at the crowd, and said to Li Shihao: "Bruce, you understand, Tyreke Evans thinks very highly of himself, he will not choose to join forces with us, he will definitely choose to go it alone !"
Li Shihao solemnly said: "Stephen, if we want to win this game, we must gather everyone's strength. Tyreke Evans' strength is very good. We cannot lack his strength. He will bring us strength. Come to help!"
Stephen Curry took a deep look at Li Shihao, sighed, and had to say, "Then listen to you, Bruce, tonight's game is in your control, we believe in you!"
Li Shihao nodded, turned and walked towards Tyreke Evans.
"Tyreke, fight with us tonight, we need your strength to defeat the second-year team together!" Li Shihao said quite sincerely, with serious eyes.
Tyreke Evans was a little surprised. He used to be the number one high school student in the United States. He was very capable and had a high self-esteem. He didn’t have a good relationship with players like Stephen Curry. Although he was called Little James, he was not as good as LeBron James. Excellent people skills.
Tyreke Evans did not expect that Li Shihao would take the initiative to come to him. According to his guess, Li Shihao should have reached an alliance with Stephen Curry and they should join forces to resist him in the game. Now, will you join forces with him?
It's unbelievable!
"Bruce, do you want me to join forces with you?" Although Tyreke Evans thinks highly of himself, he is not stupid. Now Li Shihao's strength has improved a lot compared to the NCAA period, which is enough for him to look at him as an equal. Let's see, if we can ease the relationship with Li Shihao and the others, it is also a good choice.
After all, they were all born in the same draft, and when the rookie contract expires in the future, there is still a high chance of joining forces.
Li Shihao nodded, "Tyreke, you have the best breakthrough ability among us. We need you to open the situation for us. I will pass the ball to you. You and Curry will be the protagonists tonight!"
"What about you? Are you not going to compete for the MVP of the rookie game?" Tyreke Evans is not an idiot, he doubts Li Shihao's thoughts.
"The MVP of the rookie competition is not very attractive to me, it would be more suitable for you!" Li Shihao shook his head and smiled.
"That's right, you have already been selected for the All-Star Game, so you don't want the honor of Rookie Challenge MVP!" Tyreke Evans stood up, "I agree, I will join forces with you, I hope you Remember your promise!"
Li Shihao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Tyreke Evans immediately snorted coldly, turned and left.
Li Shihao shook his head and smiled, turned around and gestured to Curry and others who were paying attention to the movement here, indicating that the matter was settled successfully.
Tonight's Rookie Challenge is destined to disappoint Derrick Rose. Li Shihao obviously didn't plan to do his best in the game. He didn't plan to be in the limelight. He was playing for his teammates and helping them get better offense. Chance.
Stephen Curry and Tyreke Evans are the players who have benefited the most. As Li Shihao’s friend for many years, Curry has received many passes from Li Shihao. As long as Curry runs out of space on the outside, Li Shihao’s pass will always be ghostly Like a shadow.
Facts have proved that Curry's shooting skills are still very good, especially his three-point shooting skills, which are much better than Li Shihao's. He made 10 of 6 three-pointers and scored 20 points in the game. The three-point shooting technique on the field made the fans cheered.
Tyreke Evans is the biggest protagonist tonight. With 26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, he is undoubtedly the best candidate for MVP.
Once Tyreke Evans has a suitable opportunity, Li Shihao will always hand over the ball to him, and Evans will not occupy the ball too much. He knows how to handle the ball reasonably. The ball is passed back for someone else to score.
With Lee Se-ho and Tyreke Evans running the offense, the first-year rookie side had good numbers, Blair had 22 points, 23 rebounds and four assists, Jennings had 4 points, eight assists and With 22 rebounds, Harden scored 8 points and 6 rebounds. After a game, he gained a lot.
In the end, the sophomore team led by Derrick Rose lost the game and failed to maintain the unbeaten record of the sophomore.When the score was fixed at 140-128, the fans in the audience gave warm applause.
This group of young and green rookies staged a big offensive and defensive drama for them!
