Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 158

To say that Kaman is tall and big, but apart from these characteristics, there is an equally remarkable characteristic, that is, slowness. Yao Ming, who is taller than him, is not considered fast in this jump ball, but he can actually Slower, and without any suspense, Yao Ming snatched the ball over his head.

Yao Ming jumped the ball and got the first chance for the sophomore team.

In the All-Star Game, the temporary lineup does not have so many tactics at all. For the participants, it depends on the tacit understanding between each other, as well as the IQ and personal ability of playing.

This is true for the All-Star Game, and so is the Rookie Challenge.

After the ball was photographed by Yao Ming, it soon fell into the hands of Ginobili. The "Demon Sword" responded from the outside and quickly passed it to Stoudemire on the inside.
To say that this kind of game has a characteristic, that is, the players of the second-year team have adapted to the atmosphere of the All-Star Game, so they play more casually, but the players of the first-year team have just entered the league, and they have to express themselves at this time , so he will work a lot on defense, even James cannot avoid it.

At this moment, it was James who was defending Stoudemire. He sank his foot and held Stoudemire's body firmly.

Stoudemire didn't make much movement, and turned around to shoot directly, shooting very casually, and hit the basket with a "bang".

James defended Stoudemire and was about to turn around to grab the rebound, but at this moment, Stoudemire reacted faster than him, jumped up and grabbed the rebound before James Offensive rebound, and then pull it up is a powerful dunk.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and there was a burst of violent cheers in the Staples Arena. Stoudemire lived up to the title of bully, and this dunk instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

James shook his head helplessly at this moment. After all, he was playing small forward, and Stoudemire was famous for his fast bounce, so he was naturally at a disadvantage in this matchup.

However, this game was a performance, so neither side cared about it. Hinrich controlled the ball and pushed forward. After the push, he handed the ball to Wade, and then started running around the baseline. At this time, Anthony and James made an empty cut to the inside, one from the left and the other from the right.

Wade and James have been good friends since the draft, so they threw the ball to James very consciously at this moment. James made a one-stop breakthrough, and the defensive Stoudemire deliberately stepped aside, and James directly went one-stop The dunk was successful, and the fans at the scene were once again ignited by the sound of the dunk.

After James dunked, he glanced at Anthony intentionally, hoping to find a trace of envy and jealousy on his face, but to his disappointment, Anthony smiled at him now, as if to praise him for his beautiful dunk. , For a moment, he looked rather embarrassed.

At the beginning of the game, they all ended the round with dunks, and the battle became a 2-2 tie.

Looking back, the second-year team still handed the ball to Stoudemire, but this time, James held his breath and struggled. Stoudemire's turned layup was interfered, and this time the shot failed to continue to hit. , The ball was grabbed by Kaman inside.

Kaman caught the ball and threw it directly to Hinrich, who was in possession of the ball. Anthony, who was used to fast breaks in the Nuggets, had already started fast breaks early at this time.

Hinrich had always sympathized with Anthony, not to mention that now that Anthony has achieved fame in the league, he admires him even more, so he threw the ball without thinking about it at this moment.

Anthony had rushed to the backcourt of the second-year team at this time, took three steps with the ball, and made a signature 360-degree turn for a dunk one step away from the free throw line.

The spotlights all around flashed one after another, watching Anthony spin the top in the air, and then press the ball into the basket with one hand.

"Oh!"

There was a loud bang, and the fans at the scene burst into a tsunami of shouts, louder than the previous dunks by Stoudemire and James.

"Oh, Melo, it's a huge loss that this kid didn't participate in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. This kid, I bet, as long as he participates in the competition, he will definitely win the final championship!" 360-degree dunk, Barkley said now, shaking his big shiny head and grinning.

"Indeed, without the participation of Melo and me in this tournament, the starlight is doomed!" O'Neill also said with emotion.

"What?" Barkley turned his head and asked, "Shaquille, you said you were going to participate in the slam dunk contest?"

"No, no, I declined the invitation just like Melo." O'Neal said without blushing.

"Really? The league invited you to participate in the slam dunk contest?" Barkley said with a look of disbelief. After speaking, as if to verify the authenticity of his words, he continued, "I would rather believe that Tim was invited to participate The three-point contest, and I don’t believe that the league invited you to participate in the dunk contest.”

"Ahem...Charles, you are looking down on me..." O'Neill deliberately showed an angry look.

"No, I didn't, I just thought, if you go to the slam dunk contest, you only have one dunk, and it has to be the last one, or if you go up and smash the rim, what else are you going to do? " Barkley said with a smile.

"Haha..." O'Neal broke out into a burst of hearty laughter, and finally said helplessly, "Okay, I admit, I lied just now. The league said that they don't repair the basket during the slam dunk contest, although they intend to invite me. , but in the end I put my thoughts in my stomach.”

"Haha, look, finally admit it..." Barkley laughed out loud as if he had succeeded in a trick.

O'Neal didn't care, and continued to say to himself: "If I participate in the dunk contest, even if Melo participates, or if Carter participates in the competition, I will beat them to win the championship."

Seeing O'Neill's swearing, Barkley couldn't help saying, "You just blow it..."

O'Neal went on to say: "Because I will dunk all the baskets in their game, so that the people behind me will not be able to play the game, and the championship will naturally be mine, haha..."

After O'Neill finished speaking, he burst out laughing, Bacchus looked at him speechlessly, and kept shaking his head.

The two big fat guys in the commentary joked humorously, but the situation on the court was fluctuating compared with the previous situation where you came and went.

The first-year team led by Anthony and James, played a 10:0 climax, and now they are leading 10:2. Anthony contributed 6 points alone, and James contributed the remaining 4 points. On the sophomore side, basically everyone took one or two shots, but except for Stoudemire’s second offensive rebound in the opening game, all other shots ended in iron. The offensive feel of the sophomore team doesn’t seem to be very good.

The Rookie Challenge is a performance game. It lasted about 4 minutes at the moment. The two sides quickly made personnel adjustments. It was almost five-up and five-down. The first-year team, in addition to James, included Anthony. All four of them went down.

In the second grade, personnel adjustments were also made. In addition to Stoudemire, the team also replaced Mike Dunleavy from the Warriors, "Little Prince" Prince from the Pistons, and Prince from the Supersonics. Murray, and Nene from the Nuggets.

To say that there is still a huge difference in strength between the first-year team's main force and the substitutes, the substitutes here are players like Haslem and Hayes who don't play a lot of time in their respective teams.

As soon as the second-year team came up, Nene directly made a strong slam dunk and scored the second goal for the second-year team. The first-year team passed, and Haslem made a mid-range shot. Another powerful slam dunk on the freshman basket.

After the slam dunk, Nene beat his chest and roared like a beast, perfectly interpreting his usual state in the game.

Contributed two strong slam dunks in one minute, and he was so arrogant after the second slam dunk, the fans on the scene immediately cheered up, the whistle was mixed with the fans' calls, and Staples was very lively for a while .

Anthony sat on the sidelines, watching Nene's performance, and laughed happily. To say that a player like Nene is really suitable for this kind of performance game, he is indeed a beast.

But at this moment, Anthony suddenly remembered something. In history, it seems that Nene will suffer from testicular cancer next year, and then he will directly enter the truce stage. What is going to suffer.

To say that the early stages of cancer are all tumors. After the All-Star Game, he had to find a way to get Nene to go to the hospital for an examination. Early tumors should be easily resolved.

Just when Anthony was thinking about this, the fans burst into applause again. It turned out that "Little Prince" Prince hit a long-range three-pointer for the second-year pair again after the pick-and-roll. Suddenly, the second-year team directly beat the first-year team 7:0.

However, the game was still going on. After two consecutive unsuccessful attacks, the first-year team finally realized that James was still on the court, and now gave the ball to James for singles.

Facing Stoudemire, James made a quick breakthrough, but Stoudemire's speed was not slow. At the moment James took off for a layup, he slapped his ball with a slap.

The referee on the sidelines did not whistle a foul, a foul for the first-year team.

Counting this attack, the first-year team has not scored for 4 consecutive minutes.
