Chapter 67 MVP
"I'm going, what a madman!" Gibson complained to the team boss, "Little Emperor" LeBron James, after leaving the court
After hearing this, James said sympathetically: "That's not it, this kid's defense is really annoying."

Gibson showed a tearless expression and said, "The problem is that this is the Rookie Challenge, not the regular season?"

No matter how Gibson babbles, Zheng Ke can't hear it, but after hearing it with his personality, he will probably only pretend to say "the benefactor calms his anger"
Now he and Yi Jianlian received an interview with Director Zhang, the front-line host of the court TV, during the intermission, and Yao Ming was with them.
"Zheng Ke, can you make a self-evaluation of your performance in the first half?" Director Zhang Weiping asked in his standard BJ accent Mandarin
Zheng Ke's Mandarin is relatively standard, not like Yao Ming's thick, nor like Yi Jianlian's Cantonese accent, with a student accent, "I think I performed well, and I also completed a few dunks."

If it is normal, Director Zhang will definitely ask a question about the game, such as which one do you think is better between yourself and Ah Lian, but today, he also made a rare gossip, and he asked Zheng Ke He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is your celebration after dunking for the first time a greeting to your girlfriend?"

Zheng Ke was caught off guard by his question, but he reacted immediately, seeing the fire of gossip in the eyes of Zhang Weiping and Yi Jianlian, he lightly said: "Yeah."

"Wow!" Zheng's mother in front of the TV covered her mouth and couldn't help but let out an exclamation, then immediately turned her head and shouted to Zheng's father who was reading the newspaper: "Jianguo, look, your son already has a girlfriend." !"

"What?" Zheng Jianguo was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know?" Zheng's mother shook her head and said regretfully, "Just now the host on TV asked Keke if he was greeting his girlfriend or something, but I didn't pay attention!"

Then he immediately said half angry and half happy: "What's the matter with this kid, he doesn't talk to us if he has a girlfriend, we must talk about him after the game is over!"

The second half of the game begins

Yi Jianlian fired first. He received a pass from Durant at the basket and caused Aldridge to foul. Seeing Aldridge's appearance, he was a little serious.
This is also the epitome of the attitude of the players of the entire second-year team. After entering the second half, the two teams gradually began to fight with real swords and guns, and the intensity of defense gradually increased. Make the game more interesting and enjoyable
Zheng Ke likes this kind of game after the intensity of confrontation is increased. He can finally let go of his hands and feet to defend the players who are facing him.
The players on both sides are full of talents. Roy has the highest ability value on the field, followed by Durant. Durant is also in the rapid growth period. His current ability value has reached 83. Compared with Zheng Ke When we first met, the strength has been much higher. Not only Zheng Ke is improving, Durant is also improving, Roy is also improving, every young player here is improving, Zheng Ke wants to surpass them, We must constantly spur ourselves and keep improving ourselves
Time passed by minute by minute, the game was exciting, and slowly entered the final stage
At this time, the second-year team only led by three points 116 to 113, and the lineup on the field was also changed back to the starting lineup of both sides.

The second-year players also have their own glory. The second-year players have defeated the first-year players for five consecutive years. They will never allow themselves to lose to players who are a year younger than themselves. So at this moment, Both sides showed their true skills to compete.
"Snapped!"

Durant cut off Rudy Gay's dribble, the basketball stumbled forward, Zheng Ke and Roy had the opportunity to run forward at the same time

Durant picked up the basketball and passed it to Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke dribbled twice and then passed it back to Durant. The two and Roy formed a two-on-one situation.

After Durant held the ball, he threw it into the sky. The ball was thrown just right. Zheng Ke rose to the ground, caught Durant's pass with both hands in the air, and then detonated it again with a powerful dunk. New Orleans Arena
"Great buckle!" Durant and Zheng Ke clapped their hands in celebration

"You passed it on!" Zheng Ke responded with a smile
Not to be outdone by the sophomore team, Aldridge immediately made a two-pointer in the low post
"Dayao, the first-year and second-year players in this year's rookie challenge are playing very well, and the score is unexpectedly close. What do you think is the reason?" the host of the imperial court asked Yao Ming

Yao Ming explained: "I think it should be that the overall quality of this freshman class is relatively strong, and their configuration is relatively reasonable."

He paused, and continued: "The first-year lineup is very reasonable. The shooter, the defensive wing, the standard point guard, the power forward who stretches the space, and the center with low offensive strength are all in place. Of course, in addition, Compared with the second-year players, they did better defensively in this game, and their steal data was far ahead of the second-year teams, which to some extent made up for their weakness that they were not as experienced as the second-year players."

"Good shot!" Yao Ming suddenly stopped this topic, and looked at the game on the field and exclaimed!
It turned out that Durant broke through Gay and completed a dunk, and the first-year team overtook the score 117 to 116!
The coach of the sophomore team requested a timeout.
"Everyone is doing very well. We will continue to maintain this state and strive to beat the second grade!" The head coach of the first grade, Daryl Walker, clapped his hands and encouraged everyone's morale

The head coach of the first-year team was really shocked by his ability to play to this level. Since the victory is in sight, he will not let it slip away. What should be fought for is still to be fought for, so he took out the tactical board , draw and stop on it, and arrange a few simple tactics for the players.
Back from the timeout, Roy started to exert strength, and Zheng Ke immediately felt the change in Roy, is it coming?He stared at Roy, his expression became serious
Roy called his teammate Aldridge to come out and do a pick-and-roll for him. The quality of the pick-and-roll was particularly high, and a dislocation immediately formed. Aldridge fell to the low post and played Zheng Ke.

"Hmph" Zheng Ke thought disdainfully, hit me in the wrong place?

He immediately stretched out his leg to catch Aldridge's leg, and put his left hand on Aldridge's waist. The muscles of his whole body tensed up, and he exploded with amazing strength!
Aldridge showed a wry smile after receiving the basketball from Roy. Zheng Ke's defense was too tight and too powerful. He felt that there was a mountain behind him, and he couldn't move his body at all, let alone turn around and jump. up,

In desperation, he took a step outside and made a step-back jumper

"boom!"

The basketball hits the neck of the basket and bounces high. This step-back jump shot is a bit far away and is not within Aldridge's range. He is not very proficient in using this move yet.
The rebound was collected by Horford, who was stuck in the main position of the basket.
Horford gave the ball to Conley. Conley pushed the basketball to the frontcourt and overtook Rondo forcibly. Rondo's long arm failed to break Conley's dribble. Bargnani saw that Rondo was out of position and immediately stepped forward. Make up defense, facing Bargnani's seemingly timely help defense, Conley made a fancy pass behind the back and distributed the ball to the outside
"I'll go." Zheng Ke struggled to pick up the pass. Although Conley passed it beautifully, but the direction was slightly off track, Zheng Ke almost missed it. Fortunately, his wingspan is also relatively good. Reluctantly picked up the basketball
Zheng Ke made a gesture to shoot a three-pointer. Roy just took two steps to double-team Conley. Zheng Ke, who had slipped far away, couldn't come back for a while. Guy, who was defending Durant, had to come from the baseline to defend Zheng Ke. Ke, Zheng Ke naturally won't force the shot, he doesn't stop the ball, and a ground pass is passed to Durant who is ambushing on the baseline
Durant took a deep breath, raised his long arms, and gently flicked the ball out!
"Shh!"

Successful hit!You must know that Durant does not have the skills of the top shooters of later generations. He now shoots more three-pointers and makes fewer shots, and his shooting percentage is only a poor 27%. Not a reassuring three-point shooter
After hitting this three-pointer, Durant seemed to have a convulsion, and suddenly started to score wildly, broke through, made an emergency stop jumper, and made a three-pointer. grade team.
In the end, the first-year team had a big upset and defeated the second-year team 136-120. The rookie king Durant got his wish as the MVP of the Rookie Challenge with a high score of 39 points
At the awards ceremony, the host interviewed Durant: "May I ask Kevin, how do you feel about being the MVP of this Rookie Challenge?"

Durant smiled shyly and said: "First of all, I am very happy to receive this award. This is the first MVP in my career, and it will be unforgettable for me. Secondly, I would like to thank my brothers. Without them Help, maybe I don't have the chance to stand on this stage, here, I want to point out one brother in particular, that is Zheng Ke, without his defensive efforts, I would not have my offensive explosion, playing with him is a joy, finally, I want to thank All the fans!"
