150. The war between geniuses

(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)

Millsap made a substitute and added the much-needed interior firepower to the second-year team. Moreover, he was born in the Utah Plateau and was very resilient and had a hard-working method to supplement calcium for the weak second-year team.

After playing, Millsap was confident that he would get the ball, and he would single against Chamberlain at the basket.

The solid footsteps were once the capital of Millsap's inside line. Even Sloan, who created the super power forward of Carl Malone, couldn't help but admire him after seeing his footsteps. However, today he met Chamberlain, who had a very defensive ability, and Millsap's footsteps were useless.

There was no strong opponent, no flexible pace of opponents, as for bounce, let alone bounce. Millsap persisted for a while, but he really didn't get a phone call, and finally transferred the ball to Guy on the outside.

Roy is out of the game. He will play in the All-Star Game the day after tomorrow, and he also played in the rookie game last year. He doesn't take this kind of game seriously and gives his teammates the opportunity to perform.

Guy has the physical fitness of a superstar. He squeezed into the penalty area against Moon's defense, and then took advantage of Chamberlain's move to hit two points before returning to defense.

At the beginning of the game, the second-year team's defense was very loose, so Durant, who had superb shooting skills, took a lot of advantage. Without anyone to guard, when he received a pass from Moon, Durant immediately made a long shot and slapped Guy back.

"This is a provocation, Rudy, respond to him, you have to respond to him." Oden, who was watching the ball off the court, laughed loudly, Durant shrugged, made a helpless expression at him and kept blowing in his hands, indicating that he felt really hot.

Rudy Guy is not as calm as Roy. When he encountered Durant's provocation, he was immediately angry. Damn, the little tree is not straightforward, and the people are not repaired. It seems that if I don't deal with you, you don't know how awesome we old birds are.

Both Chamberlain are called the best rookie. If Durant is often beaten by his opponent, he would be too shameless. He and Guy directly face each other, and the latter jumped together, and he followed, but he did not pursue the blocking because he believed that he was not a defensive pervert like Chamberlain, but covered his hand above the opponent's eyes.

The basketball bounced on the rebound, and Chamberlain knocked away Millsap and got the rebound and threw it to Conley who was about to start.

Conley was also holding back his energy. Damn, I was the fourth pick in the draft. As soon as I entered the team, I was the starting lineup. I was even known as the number one point guard in the United States in college. Today, I actually asked me to be the substitute? Or give the Espanyol substitute who is not as good as his. Isn't this an insult? If I didn't say anything, beat you up!

Navarro's physical fitness may not be as good as Conley, but his brain is absolutely good. Who is the second-year point guard? That's Rondo, known as the fourth giant in the Celtics! Rondo's attacking method is not good, and his defense is absolutely fierce. Do you still want to play singles when facing him?

But Conley didn't think much about it, and the previous second-grade failure to defend gave him a blind confidence, that is, the opponent's defense line could be easily broken, so he dribbled the ball by himself. As a result, after jumping, Rondo followed and pulled the ball down.

Seeing this scene, Barkley, who was sitting on the sidelines to live broadcast for TNT, shouted: "This is right, this is the All-Star Game. Go to the fuck dunk show, go to the fuck offensive show, is it called NBA without defense? No matter how beautiful the offense is, can it look better than the Harlem basketball team? Just come like this, fight for defense, boys, bayonets, let those so-called All-Stars go to hell!"

Although they only practiced for two games together, geniuses always appreciate each other. Chamberlain has already had a considerable understanding with Durant. The two prides of heaven formed the most powerful offensive and defensive core of the first-year team, shining in the whole game for a while.

As soon as Chamberlain got the ball, Durant turned around and ran to the frontcourt. Chamberlain threw the ball out and threw it in front of him. After receiving the ball, Durant rushed into the inside line with a small windmill dunk.

The first-grade team played very imposingly and performed very well. The key is that the first-grade team is full of dunk players, and it is impossible not to perform. There are four people in the dunk contest tomorrow, and there are three people in the first-grade team now.

Although this is not the first time he has played against Chamberlain, Millsap is still not suitable for his very efficient candy-style defense. Even if he wants to get the ball, he will have no effect on Chamberlain from behind. So he simply pulled out of the inside and started to use mid-range shots to help the team.

However, after halfway through the first half, Chamberlain was no longer so eager to take revenge. He had already shown himself in front of Roy and Aldridge and in front of fans, so he became much more low-key, let go of the inside defense, and the players of the two teams began to perform.

First, Durant successfully intercepted Brewer near the midfield and then jumped into the free throw circle to a tomahawk dunk. Then Millsap blocked Horford's layup and passed it to Gibson who was about to get off the ground, who responded with a more dazzling dunk.

Chamberlain was a little dissatisfied with the continuous offensive mistakes. Although he relaxed on the defensive end, he increased his energy on the offensive end. He stuck Millsap and raised his eyebrows at Durant. The latter pretended to break through and layup, shook his body a few times in a row and threw the ball over the ring.

Millsap stood behind Chamberlain and waited for his back to hit, blocked by the opponent's broad shoulders, and he did not see the flying ball.

Chamberlain hit Millsap hard, got the gap, then pulled up and jumped up, caught the ball with one hand, and hit the ball forward with a strong body, riding Millsap and smashed the ball into the ring.

Millsap was a little confused by Chamberlain's dunk, and he also lost a foul for this. Seeing that he was not very used to this performance game, the second-year head coach replaced him with Alderland and replaced Roy at the same time, so the Portland Gemini were on the court again.

Chamberlain and Durant were armed with each other. The two were not much taller, but their strength was almost at two extremes. Holding Durant, Chamberlain pointed to Roy and Aldridge who were walking side by side and said, "Kevin, I think this is a provocation, what do you think?"

Durant scored the highest score in the game now, scoring 18 points in less than halftime. He is now full of energy and shouted: "Then let's teach them a lesson!"

However, the head coach of the first-year team also made a substitution. Chamberlain was out of the field, Scola stood on the inside partner Horford, and Moon was out of the field. Green came on the field, and there were still countless deductions in the first-year team.

At this time, the first-year team had a firm lead and scored an efficient score of 55:40 in just fifteen minutes.

As soon as Roy came on the court, he stole Green's random pass and passed it to Rondo. The latter dribbled the ball and quickly broke into the frontcourt and threw it into the air. Rudy Guy, who cut from the right, flew high and received a dunk, helping the second grade to score a score of 42:55.

Conley entered the NBA with the halo of the number one point guard in the United States, but his performance in his debut season was not satisfactory, so he was very motivated today. Just as Chamberlain wanted to prove that he was stronger than Oden, Conley also wanted to prove that he was more worthy of the team training than Durant and Chamberlain. In this way, he started to play singles frequently while Chamberlain was not present.

Singles have always been the theme song of the All-Star Game, so no one can blame Conley. After all, this is still an All-Star. Chamberlain's previous mobilization in the locker room had long been invalid at this time. The players' blood has calmed down after the initial boiling.

In Conley's eyes, the second-year star is not his opponent, his opponents are Chamberlain and Durant, who took turns to dominate the rookie of the week this season, without his share. Every time he thinks of this, he grits his teeth.

He wants to take revenge, he wants to show himself, the problem is that after the start of this game, the first-grade team's defense was too strong, and the second-grade team was caught off guard. Now he has reacted, and this is planning to take revenge.

Kang used the fastest speed to cross Rondo's defense, then got short and got into the inside, and threw it with Durant's cover.

Millsap, who was ravaged by Chamberlain in this game, was eyeing the basket. When Conley jumped up and threw, he suddenly came out of the wing, jumped up vigorously, flew the racket out of the court with a slap, and directly sent the ball to a fan's arms.

Chamberlain was gone in the penalty area of ​​the first-year team. With Horford and Yi Jianlian's defense, Roy was not afraid at all, so he began to get angry, showing the strength of the 2006 NBA newcomer king. He first broke through Green's defense and jumped to score, and after one round, he played a small game and big game, turned around and broke through the dunk and caused the opponent's foul again, making a "2+1".

The teammate's lack of strength gave Conley a reason for singles. He ignored the block he encountered before, played a butterfly step through the flower again, shook the carousel and rushed to the basket, as if he was wearing a explosive bag on his body. His indomitable momentum was full of beauty in combination with the previous Ai style.

But he underestimated Rondo. How could Rondo make it so easy for him to break through? After Conley passed him, Millsap came out from the inside to make up for defense. Just when Conley was about to play a trick, Rondo forced him up from behind, reached out and broke Conley's ball, turned around and came out for a quick break, and played a wonderful defense.

These attacks are just a microcosm of the subsequent games. The score difference of fifteen points seems to be quite large, but the defense effect of both sides is not good, and everyone on the field is a good offensive player, especially Roy, who is simply a scoring machine. He hits one after another on the outside and slowly catches up with the score.

If the Warriors play like this, Chamberlain would have to play the game anyway, but this is an all-star and a joyful feast. Since the head coach doesn't call him, Chamberlain will be as steady as Mount Tai on the bench, cheering and howling like the fans.

The exciting scenes continued, and without Chamberlain's intensity of the game dropped a lot, and both sides began to fight offensive battles.

Although Roy has a good temper, he feels that the first-grade rookie is a little ignorant and wants to play something in front of him. Therefore, after this appearance, he has a strong desire to attack.

Rondo, who had fought with Roy many times in college, knew the old brother's ability and temper, so he saw Roy wave his hand and pass it over and pull out the three-point line to watch Roy's performance.

Roy was asking for the ball at the low post this time. Aldridge and Bagnani were both good at mid-range shooting, not the kind of beast in the penalty area, so they pulled out, Horford and Yi Jianlian had to follow him, and the inside was empty.

Facing Green's defense, Roy turned around and smiled slightly at him, then lowered his body, and slapped the ball with his right hand and killed him from the right side.

Green hurriedly used his hand to hold his shoulder and then retreated to his left side. As a result, he retreated, Green, who was moving forward, twisted his shoulder hard, hit Green's chest with his left shoulder, pulled back with his right shoulder, and slapped the basketball heavily on the floor, then received the ball with his left hand, passed Green and stepped into the penalty area.

Taking a step in the penalty area, Roy grabbed the ball and fixed it slightly, jumping vertically from the floor as if stepping on a spring.

Horford, who was next to him, saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly pushed Aldridge away to make up for the defense. He chased Roy and jumped up, pressing his big hand against the ball raised by the latter. He tried his best to pull the racket away.

Roy saw Horford's figure pounced on him with his own eyes. Instead of choosing to make a layup like Chamberlain, he turned around, leaned his back against Horford's body, stretched his arms out of the basket, shook his wrist, and threw the ball out.

The basketball drew a semicircular arc in the air and fell into the ring accurately, a beautiful under-basket pull rod.

The first half was about to end, and the second-year team actually overtook the game with 68:66. In the last five minutes, it scored a terrifying scoring frenzy and scored more than 20 points in a row.

With 22 seconds left before the end of the first half, Durant has to step on the ball and stand still, obviously he is going to shoot a buzzer-beating ball.

Roy suddenly blinked at Aldridge, and the two of them ran forward without warning, surrounded Durant and pressed hard at the ball in his hand.

Durant hurriedly picked up the ball and hurriedly threw the ball to Yi Jianlian, who was open inside. Seeing that there was no one in front of him, the latter hesitated for a moment without making a mid-range shot, but stepped into the penalty area to use a more secure layup to score.

Just as Durant picked up the ball, Rondo, who had been watching outside, did not care about him anymore, but turned around and ran to the penalty area. In this way, when he rushed into the inside, Yi Jianlian just happened to receive the ball. As soon as the latter dribbled, Rondo reached out from behind and stole it directly!
