Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 161 Skills Challenge
To say that Collins' psychological endurance is really strong, the first-year team was completely beaten by the second-year team, and fell behind by nearly [-] points. The fans in the audience were shouting for Melo.

In the end, as commentators, O'Neill and Barkley couldn't stand it anymore. They were bored, so they started betting on when Collins would replace Anthony. The two looked good and even started betting. As the game deepened , the chips are getting bigger and bigger.

But Collins remained motionless, as if he had been immersed in his own world, and it was only time for him to petrify.

So until the middle of the second quarter, the first-year team had fallen behind by nearly [-] points. Collins felt that he couldn't hold on to the situation, and then he replaced Anthony.

It is said that the longer the depression, the greater the power of the explosion. Before that, the fans had been expecting Anthony to be good at it. Although Collins refused to let it go, it made the fans' expectations even more overwhelming.

So the moment Anthony really stood up, all the fans in the audience stood up, cheering and yelling crazily. The crowd was so crowded. If you want to say that it can cause such a big sensation in the All-Star Game, except for the god of basketball Jordan, no one can match at all.

Facing the uproar and tsunami of the audience, Anthony was a little helpless when he saw Collins's face was very unsightly. Originally, he thought that it would be fine to just mess around in the Rookie Challenge, but the cheers of the fans on the scene were too much. It's high, it's a feeling that comes out after a long time. He intends to play soy sauce, but he also feels that he can't be too sorry for the fans.

Anthony was replaced by James, who hadn't come down since the start. Although the first-year team lost, he had already contributed more than 20 points, and he was exhausted.

Wade and Dr. also followed him off the court. The cooperation between the three on the court was still relatively tacit. The only thing to blame was the huge difference in playing experience between the two teams.

All three scoring points are off the field. Collins' purpose is already very obvious. Don't you fans call for it, then I will play, but it depends on how Anthony alone can turn the tide.

Anthony naturally knows this too. If it was before, if he hadn't been selected for the All-Star Game, he would definitely try his best to win this game, but now, it is completely unnecessary, as long as he plays worthy of the sidelines The audience will do.

Now Hinrich is in possession of the ball. The starting point guard didn't get much possession of the ball in previous games. After playing now, seeing his old friend Anthony, he was naturally extremely excited.

As soon as Anthony went up, Hinrich threw the ball to him directly. The familiar scene seemed to return to the time of the old draft. The difference is that Anthony is no longer the person who just passed through. His current strength is enough Compete against all players present.

It was Prince who was defending Anthony. The "Little Prince" had contributed 15 points in the previous game, 8 of 5, and his performance was quite stable. Now facing Anthony, he was focused. This season the Nuggets have already I played against the Pistons once. Although the Pistons were tough, Anthony's scoring mode still impressed the defensive champion.

After Anthony received the ball, he hit and then turned around. After deceiving Prince's center of gravity to change, he made another sharp turn. Like a loach, he slid directly to the basket and shook Prince. Clean up.

With an easy play, Anthony broke the scoring drought for the first-year team, scored two points, and made Prince depressed, and he didn't know what to say.

"Haha, this is basketball! Sit on the bench and eat shit!" Barkley saw that Anthony had gained something as soon as he came up, and his big mouth burst into power instantly, completely ignoring Collins' livid Liansen at the moment.

O'Neill also leaned forward and backward with laughter, his huge body trembling uncontrollably, as if he had an orgasm.

The offense of the second-year team was still the same, but after Anthony came up, he scored consecutive points, and within a few minutes, he directly blasted Prince to pieces.

Playing is very important to confidence and morale. The first-year team was working hard before, but there was always a gap in strength, so the more they played, the more they fell behind, and the less they wanted to play later, the difference in points naturally widened. , without any suspense, rushed to thirty minutes.

Benefiting from Anthony's strong explosion, the morale of the first-year team slowly came back. Everyone felt as if they had eaten a Gai Zhong Gai. Their waists and legs were no longer sore, and they felt strong in every movement. The hard work of defense and the desire to rush when attacking have directly stepped up to a higher level.

This time, the second-year team was caught off guard. By the end of the second quarter, such a lineup had managed to recover the difference of more than ten points. By halftime, it had already caught up to 15 points.

Although Collins didn't want to see this kind of situation right now, he didn't dare to commit crimes against the wind after all, so he played until halftime with just such a lineup.

In the second half, Anthony still performed well, but James, Wade, and Bosh all returned to their respective habits of cooperation. Anthony did not get many shots, and the two sides always maintained a point difference of about [-] minutes. Collins seemed to be It didn't mean to change, the two sides kept fighting like this.

Step by step to the fourth quarter, the point difference is too big, both sides replaced the substitute, the first-year team finally lost 118 points 142:25, James contributed the highest 35 points of the first-year team, Anthony only scored 20 in the end Only because of the loss, the MVP of the Challenger League finally went to the second-year team's Stoudemire, last year's rookie of the year, facing the inside of the first-year team, he scored 36 points and 11 rebounds.

The fans in the audience were extremely disappointed. After the game, many people complained on the comment channel, saying that the coach selection mechanism of the rookie challenge needs to be further improved. It's a waste of fans' feelings for this TNT commentator to become a coach. In their words, anyone who made this system can eat shit.

However, these are just the aftermath of the game. The All-Star Game is still going on. After the rookie challenge on the first day, the second day's game is still proceeding step by step.

The first game in the morning of the second day is the Skills Challenge.

The rules of the Skills Challenge are very simple. The contestants first go to an empty basket, then pass the obstacle, and then make a straight pass and a ground pass. A 3-pointer, and finally a layup and the game is over.

The person who takes the least time at the end wins. The first round is the qualifiers. The two players with the least time are selected, and then the second round of finals is held.

The players participating in the game were all invited by the league. This time, the players invited by the league were Jason Williams of the Nuggets, Baron Davis of the Warriors, Marbury of the Knicks and Derry of the home game. G Fisher,

Because it was the first event of the main match, there were still a lot of fans present, and Anthony also sat on the sidelines at this moment.

In the preliminaries, Davis was the first to play. With the referee's whistle, Davis flew out like a car with full horsepower.

The first step is an easy layup, then quickly passed the obstacle, ran to the point of the direct pass, quickly sent the ball, the ball went into the net at one time, and then ran to the point of the ground pass, another one-time success .

Davis's series of actions were all successful, and his speed was already very fast. He was in such a good state at the beginning of the game, and the fans in the audience immediately became excited and shouted wave after wave.

Davis returned to the field with a quick shot, took the ball and shot a three-pointer, the first shot, the ball hit directly, this time, the fans in the audience were even more excited, this was all done in one go, the speed is absolutely not bad.

In the end, Davis took the ball and made a quick layup. With a "beep" whistle from the sidelines, the game time was fixed at 28.7 seconds, a very fast result.

When the on-site referee reported the result, Davis was also quite excited, stroking his beard under his chin, and excitedly greeted the surrounding fans, who also cheered.

Anthony looked at Davis's expression and couldn't help laughing out loud. When it comes to "bearded" Davis, what impressed him the most was the black-eight miracle against the Mavericks. With the bombardment tactics played by Nelson, the Nuggets are full of vitality.

Perhaps it was because of such a good result from Davis that the players in the game seemed a little nervous. Then Marbury, who came on the court, also succeeded at the beginning, but the speed was obviously much slower, and in the last three points When the ball was shot, it took two shots in a row to score.

When the red light came on at the end of the field, Marbury looked back at the time on the timer, 36.4 seconds, the result was a bit bad, and he couldn't hide his disappointment.

When Anthony saw Marbury's final results, he was afraid that Williams would be too nervous, so he ran over to let him relax.

When Marbury was off the field, Williams also officially entered the field.

To say that Williams is a defender who is good at handling the ball, he is also handy for this kind of game, but Davis's good results still make him a little nervous, but after Anthony's reminder, after he played Maintained a higher degree of concentration.

Layup, passing, direct pass, one-time success.

The ground pass is still a one-time success.Three-pointer, one-time success.

After a quick layup, the moment the red light on the sidelines turned on, the fans in the audience were in an uproar, and Anthony also stood up suddenly from his seat.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar. This speed can be said to have reached the extreme. It is a rhythm that challenges the limits of human beings.
