I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 157 The Rookie Challenge Ends

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The sophomore team replaced Rose with Gallinari.

The first-year team did not make any substitutions and adjustments, and it was still the same team.

Back from timeout, sophomores attack.

Westbrook quickly dribbled forward and came to the top of the arc to organize the offense.

In the low area on the right, Gasol Jr. leaned against Blair and reached for the ball.

During the timeout, the head coach of the second-year team, Ewing, took advantage of the flaws in the first-year team's lineup and arranged offensive tactics for the players to attack the inside.

The Great Turtle followed the tactics and immediately hoisted the ball into the paint.

Gasol received the pass, lowered his shoulders, sat back with his butt pouted, pushed his back a few times, and then turned around in the penalty area, taking advantage of his height and wingspan to throw the ball out .

Blair raised his arms to interfere, to little effect.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
10: 2!

Relying on Gasol's throw, the second-year team finally achieved a zero breakthrough.

Sun Yi, who rushed back to the basket to help defend, saw this scene and felt that there were indeed some hidden dangers inside.

Without thinking too much, Sun Yi picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, sent the ball out, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

Evans received the pass, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and launched a run and bomb.

Curry couldn't be more familiar with the run-and-gun tactics, and immediately rushed to the frontcourt, looking for opportunities to catch and shoot from the outside.

The players of the second-year team were still scattered and did not retreat in time.

The first grade team got the opportunity to play more against less.

Sun Yi ran to the right outside the three-point line to receive a pass from Evans, and continued to sprint towards the basket without stopping.

When he rushed near the front of the penalty area, he stared at the basket intently, but the basketball in his hand passed to the left three-point line.

Curry received the pass, took off directly, and made a three-pointer against Westbrook who was coming over.

The primary school student started to make waves relying on his fiery touch.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Sun Yi, who rushed into the penalty area, soared into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with one hand, and dunked it vigorously into the basket.

12: 2!

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.

"Good shot! Sun's sense of rebounding is very good, and he completed a superb dunk." Barkley commented.

On the court, the second-year team still chose to attack the inside.

Sun Yi quickly rushed back to the penalty area and double-teamed Gasol with Blair.

Gasol, who was double-teamed, didn't panic at all. He is a big center with the ability to respond. After protecting the ball, he found his teammates and immediately passed the ball.

Gallinari, who was outside the three-point line on the right, received the pass and made a three-point shot before the arrival of the first-year team's defensive players.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

12: 5!

The possession of the ball is switched, and the first-year team attacks.

Evans dribbled to the three-point line without stopping, quickly made a crossover and then directly broke into the three-point line.

Gasol and Gallinari immediately retreated to the basket to defend.

Seeing this situation, Evans did not choose to break through the basket and pass the ball out.

In the mid-range area on the right, Sun Yi received the pass, shook Beasley who came to defend him, immediately pulled up, and hit a mid-range jumper.

In the next few rounds, the state of the second-year team picked up, scoring consecutive points by hitting the inside line, and gradually narrowed the point difference.

Seeing that the second-year team was about to gain momentum, the first-year team immediately made corresponding adjustments.

Sun Yi began to sort out the team's offense. Under the effect of the badge [Arc Top Deal], he accurately passed the ball to the best position, assisted his teammates to score one after another, and stabilized the situation on the field.

When the first half of the game lasted about 7 minutes, it entered the official timeout time.

The rules of the Rookie Challenge are different. It is divided into two halves, 20 minutes each.

At this time, the score on the big screen was 28 to 20, with the first-grade team leading by 8 points.

Sun Yi scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists during this period.

In such an entertainment game, the defensive intensity is not high, as long as the strength is sufficient, it is very easy to brush up the data.

Even so, there is still a certain distance from his mission goal, and he needs to make persistent efforts in the next game to complete it.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

The first-year team made substitution adjustments, replacing Sun Yi and Curry with Flynn and Gibson.

The second-year team also made substitution adjustments, replacing Beasley and Gasol with Gordon and Love.

After the substitution adjustment, the first-year team attacked.

Evans dribbles to the three-point line, takes a look and passes the ball.

Outside the three-point line on the right, Flynn immediately started after receiving the pass, quickly made a change of direction in front of his body, shook Mayo's center of gravity, and accelerated to rush over.

Originally, Mayo's defense was very poor, coupled with the lack of serious defense in the entertainment game, it was simply a defensive black hole.

At the same time, Flynn broke into the penalty area and flew to the layup before Love's help defense arrived.

In fact, Love is not suitable for playing center forward, and his ability to protect the frame is limited. There is absolutely no way for the first-year team to attack the frame quickly.

However, in order to keep up with the speed of the first-year team, the second-year team had to replace the heavy center and strengthen the mobility of the lineup.

Looking back, the sophomore team was on offense.

Love hit Blair with his back in the low post. After a few hits, he found that he couldn't push him back at all. He was forced to turn back, then turn over and shoot a jumper.

Blair defended very well and did not lose his position, which caused a lot of interference to Love's projection.

The result is self-evident, the basketball missed the frame and missed.

Under the basket, Gibson got stuck and grabbed the defensive rebound. He immediately found Evans and passed the ball quickly.

After receiving the ball, Evans immediately sprinted forward and launched a defensive counterattack.

Jennings, who was on the fast break, received a pass from Evans, took the lead and rushed into the penalty area, flew to the basket and scored.

On the bench of the first-year team, Sun Yi, who was resting, saw what happened on the field, smiled and clapped his hands to congratulate.

Originally, he was a little worried about the rotation stage of the game, thinking that the second-year team would take this opportunity to recover the score, but he never expected that the second-year team would mess up their position and fail to take advantage of them.

In the next few rounds, the second-year team paid a heavy price.

Unable to score on the offensive end and unable to defend on the defensive end, the score was quickly opened by the first-year team.

The head coach of the second-year team, Ewing, knew that there was a problem with the lineup structure, so he immediately made substitution adjustments, replaced Gasol Jr., and strengthened the defense in the penalty area.

After substitutions and adjustments, the second-year team stopped the decline and began to chase points.

When the first half of the game lasted 15 minutes, the head coaches of both sides made substitution adjustments again.

Sun Yi, Curry and others went into battle again, replacing Evans and Jennings and others.

The second-year team replaced Westbrook and others and replaced Beasley and others.

After the substitutions and adjustments, the first-year team played very smoothly under the tandem of Sun Yi, scoring frequently and further widening the point difference.

The second-year team didn't cooperate much, they basically played singles, and when they were hot, they could recover a few points, but once the shooting percentage dropped, the offensive end was paralyzed, and the point difference was widened again.

At the end of the first half, the score on the big screen was 75 to 59, and the first-year team entered the second half with a 16-point lead.

During the intermission, DeRozan and Gordon had a dunk contest in advance.

DeRozan easily defeated Gordon with a variety of fancy dunks and won the last seat in the dunk contest.

Not long after, the short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.

First grade team lineup: Curry, Evans, Harden, Sun Yi, Blair.

Second-year team lineup: Westbrook, Mayo, Gordon, Gallinari, Gasol Jr.

In order to chase points, the second-year team coach Ewing deliberately sent the player with the best three-point shooting in the team to the court, intending to copy the Magic's one-star four-shooter tactic.

The game started in the second half, and the second-year team served and attacked.

Westbrook dribbled to the top of the arc, beckoned inside, and called for a pick-and-roll.

At this stage, the main thing is to recover the points difference, and it is no longer important to save face.

Gasol immediately ran forward to do a good pick-and-roll coordination.

The big turtle bypassed the screen, got rid of Evans' defense, and rushed towards the basket quickly.

Blair quickly switched defenses and blocked Westbrook's driving route.

At the same time, Sun Yi let go of his defender and quickly rushed back to the penalty area to help defend.

Seeing this situation, Westbrook chose to pass the ball.

Gasol Jr. near the free throw line received the pass and passed it immediately without sticking the ball.

Gallinari, who was outside the three-point line on the right, received the pass and took off directly to shoot.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
75: 62!

The first-year team quickly served the baseline ball, and Evans rushed forward after receiving the ball.

The second-year team was prepared and retreated quickly. Except for Gasol, all other players retreated.

Seeing that his teammates failed to run out of the opportunity, Evans went straight to the penalty area after coming outside the three-point line.

Westbrook immediately moved laterally to block, and confronted Evans head-on with his body.

Evans, known as "Little James", did not change direction, directly confronted Westbrook, did not stop, and broke through to the basket with the big turtle on his shoulders.

Seeing this situation, Gallinari immediately rushed over to double-team the defense.

At the same time, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area at full speed, ready to catch the ball for a layup.

Evans on the move had his vision blocked and had no room to pass the ball, so he could only make high rebounds.

After the basketball was wiped, it bounced out of the frame and failed to score.

Under the basket, Sun Yi jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.

After scoring the goal, Sun Yi made an exclusive celebration, and then quickly returned to defense.

The second-year team quickly served the ball, and Westbrook immediately accelerated to the front field after receiving the ball.

Gasol, who just ran near the free throw line, felt a strong sense of malice, recalling those unpleasant memories of playing against the Warriors.

There is no other way but to continue to run back and forth.

On the second-year team's bench, Anthony Randolph saw what happened on the field and mourned for Gasol Jr.

Although he really wanted to play, but seeing Gasol's miserable appearance, he would rather sit on the bench than play.

On the other side, Westbrook did not wait for his teammates to get into position and broke through to the basket while the first-year team's defense was not yet formed.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi, who rushed back to the basket, stood up in advance, stretched his arms to interfere.

The big tortoise didn't stop, leaned on Sun Yi and threw the ball.

However, what I didn't expect was that Sun Yi caught the ball while standing up!

The more Sun Yi looked at it, the more he felt that Westbrook was extremely pleasing to the eye.

What a nice guy this guy is!
The first-year team launched a defensive counterattack, and Sun Yi immediately threw the ball forward.

Curry, who was on the fast break, received the pass, quickly came to the three-point line, took off and shot.

At this moment, Gasol ran to the side of Curry, stretched out his arm to interfere, but hit Curry on the arm.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

At the same time, the referee blew his whistle and called Gasol a thug foul.

Curry stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and made a steady hit to add a penalty.

The possession of the ball is switched, and the second-year team attacks.

Westbrook slowed down the offensive tempo, came outside the three-point line and hoisted the ball inside.

After running back and forth, Gasol finally hit the basketball. Taking advantage of his height and wingspan, he shot a mid-range jumper against Blair.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Running back and forth made Gasol's physical strength decline, and he hadn't touched the ball for a long time, so he felt cold.

At the basket, Sun Yi grabbed the defensive rebound, turned around to find his teammate, and made a long pass, accurately passing the ball to the fast-break teammate.

Harden, who was on a fast break, received the pass, stopped directly outside the three-point line, and made a chasing three-pointer.

Seeing the first-year team's three-pointers go wide and the score getting bigger, the second-year team felt a sense of urgency.

In this round of offense, Westbrook broke through and passed the ball to the outside.

After Gordon received the ball, he made a three-pointer against Curry's interference.

Unfortunately, he missed the shot and the basketball missed the frame.

Blair blocked Gasol and created an opportunity for his teammates to rush for the rebound.

Sun Yi rushed back to the penalty area to grab a rebound, turned around and sprinted forward.

Seeing that the second-year team's defense was unorganized, they rushed directly into the penalty area. After a physical confrontation with Westbrook who came to cover the defense, he scored a tough layup and caused a foul at the same time.

Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and made a steady hit to add a penalty.

After that, the second-year team tried to shoot three-pointers from the outside in order to chase points.

But there are too few shooters in their team, and with Westbrook, Mayo and others causing trouble, the three-point shooting rate is pitifully low.

The first grade team took this opportunity to quickly play defensive counterattack.

Sun Yi felt good tonight, hitting two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

Curry's touch is also hot, as long as he receives a pass from Sun Yi, he basically makes three-pointers.

When there were about 6 minutes left in the second half, the first grade team already led by more than 30 points.

The second-year team saw that the general situation was over, gave up the game, no longer seriously defended, and played the game as an entertainment game.

Seeing that they had the chance to win, the first-year team also began to give up defense, and each showed off.

As neither team defended, the score went up.

For this kind of entertainment time of comparing who can shoot more accurately, Curry is simply a bug. The undefended shooting rate is as high as 98%, which is very scary.

In this way, with the rapid passage of time, the game is drawing to a close.

In the end, the first-year team beat the second-year team 152 to 108.
