Chapter 229 228. The Perfect Team!

February 15, 2002 at 7:00 pm.

The All-Star rookie game is about to start.

From an insignificant game that was of little interest to fans of the participating players and teams, it has become a very high-profile game. The finishing touch is that Stern used Iverson and Kobe on a whim. Come head coach the Rookie and Sophomore teams!

For this decision, Stern grasped the psychology of both of them unwilling to lose to each other, and he would definitely agree to this appointment.

Sure enough, relying on this decision, the attention of this rookie competition suddenly surpassed that of the so-called classic rookie competition in 1997!

The battle between Iverson and Kobe continued the heat of last year's finals and came to this year's All-Star Weekend.

The fans thought that the MVP battle between the two would only be seen in the main game, but they didn't expect that it would start from the rookie game, and the All-Star Weekend would be detonated from the very beginning!

The introduction of the All-Star Rookie!

The first and second grades didn't seem to be enjoying themselves at all. The two teams seemed to be very different from each other at the center line, and they were incompatible!

Seeing the strong atmosphere of confrontation on the field, all the fans were infected, and each cheered for the team of the rookie they supported!

This feeling of hostility is like a competition!

What is the rookie game in the past two years! The talents are all about the same. Naturally, the second grader beats the first grader. It doesn't make any sense at all. The second grader is not serious, and the first grader can't do it. In the end, it becomes a boring one-stop dunk contest.

This is the kind of game that people want to see when the two teams show a strong desire to win before the game starts!

The players of the two teams looked at each other viciously, and the head coaches of the two teams were not to be outdone. Kobe and Iverson attacked each other with eyes on both sides of the center line.

"I will win this time, give up!" Kobe was still so proud.

"That's not necessarily true. Without O'Neill, what would you win?" Iverson fought back forcefully.

"Hey," Kobe felt that this had really become a hurdle! But there was really nothing to refute. He looked at the first-year lineup and asked suspiciously: "Where's that stinky rookie? The game is about to start, won't he run away with fright?"

"You mean Ace? He went to the toilet, as long as you lead the team, we can win without Ace!" Iverson found that Liu Mang really disappeared, and really took that unreliable The non-starter plan was implemented.

Who is this! Who would die unwilling to start?

The gunpowder-flavored game officially started after the pre-match appearance.

The first-year side sent Jamal Tinsley, Jason Richardson, Sean Battier, Pau Gasol, and Brandon Haywood.

The second grade sent Mike Miller, Quentin Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu, Kenyon Martin, and Chris Mihm.

Looking at the starters of the two teams, and the introduction of the rookies just now, something seems to be missing. Although the current first-year lineup, basically the recent statistics show that every position of the first-year can completely suppress the second-year.

But one person is missing!

Less from the start!

The strongest rookie is not here!

Don't fight?

In this way, although the game may still be very good, it may be better and more intense, but the fans are still a little disappointed.

Although thinking about it, this rookie is already an All-Star player, and it would be more normal not to play in the rookie game...

In fact, the players on the rookie team were also puzzled. Jason Richardson was preparing to serve as a substitute for Liu Mang. Why did he suddenly start the game when the game started?

Without Liu Mang, the morale of the rookie team was a bit damaged. Not everyone is as confident as Liu Mang! After all, the opponent is in the second grade!

Just when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Haywood won the jump ball, and Jamal Tinsley was about to dribble for halftime, Liu Mang ran in from the player tunnel.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I just came back from the bathroom, a black cat blocked my way, it was late..." Liu Mang said loudly as he ran in.

Jamal Tinsley almost hit the ball in the foot, what a strong reason!

Blocked by a black cat... This American proverb probably means getting lost, and it also means that you don't know how to choose when you encounter bad things on the road of life.

Seeing Liu Mang's return, the players of the rookie team were shocked and had a backbone! The fans at the scene also saw Liu Mang running in, especially Liu Mang's words were spread ten to ten times, and all the fans cheered all of a sudden!

To fight!

The strongest rookie is going to participate!

...

There was such a strong cheer for Liu Mang's return, the first graders were envious, while the second graders were angry! This kind of cheer seemed to the second-year players, even the fans looked down on them!

The game was interrupted for a while, and the referee hurriedly blew his whistle to signal the game to continue.

Jamal Tinsley dribbles the ball across half court and, tactically, gives the ball to Gasol in the low post.

What is the triangle offense? Iverson and the first-year players didn't understand it, but it's still possible to follow the instructions, just Liu Mang's singles or Gasol's singles, and everyone else just opens up and is ready to run and catch the ball at any time.

Liu Mang first sat on the bench for a while with Iverson's speechless expression on his face. The teammate who started first still had to play a few rounds. Liu Mang just took a look at how his opponent was playing.

"Ding... the buff of the second-year perfect team effect is triggered, and the abilities of all second-year players will be increased by 10%."

This is it! Liu Mang wanted to see what the effect of adding 10% would be!

"Look at Martin's ability value!"

"Ding...Kenyon Martin, in the state of team buff bonus, ability value 75-82, three-pointer 29-31, mid-range shot 61-67, layup 85-92, free throw 59-65, speed 84-88, Strength 82-86..."

All-round improvement! Directly from the level that is not bad in the starting lineup, he has become a quasi-first-class power forward!

Ability value of 82! From 75 to 82 directly! There are not many inside players with an ability value over 80 in the entire league! Kenyon Martin's current level is at least the top 20 power forwards in the league! Gasol is only 78 ability value!

Liu Mang took a look. Originally, most of the players in the second grade were in the 50s and a little bit in the early 60s. Except for Mike Miller who originally had the ability value of 70 and Turkoglu who originally had the ability value of 67, everyone else had It is below 65, even most of them are below 60, and now almost all of them have been raised to above 60!

The overall ability of the second-year players, relying on a buff, is on par with the ability of the first-year players!

And Kenyon Martin has become a quasi-first-class level, especially his physical fitness is already excellent, and now it has become even better, even higher than Gasol's ability value!

The buff of a perfect team is so powerful!

No wonder those players on the perfect team, even if they played NBDL before, and other NBA teams don't want them, they can play as confidently as super giants under Popovich's hands! And inexplicably became a thief!

Seeing that Gasol wanted to single-handedly fight Kenyon Martin, and was about to make a move as soon as he turned around, Liu Mang yelled inwardly. Kenyon Martin's sudden and beautiful little step back created the perfect jump block opportunity!

Sure enough, Gasol's turned hook was slapped down by Kenyon Martin!

Gasol looked at this scene in astonishment and was taken aback!

How can it be! The last time Gasol played against the Nets, although the Grizzlies were abused terribly, Gasol abused the Nets inside one by one, turning around and scoring directly!
