Little did Lin Ri know that Gentry was feeling "dissatisfied" that he was playing so aggressively.

Of course, even if Gentry is dissatisfied, Lin will still do what he should do... He has to rely on rewards to continue to make rapid progress in the off-season!

Although there are three tasks that can be rewarded, by comparison, this task is undoubtedly the one he has the best chance of getting rewarded, so he must do his best to win this award.

The second quarter basically followed the same rhythm as the first quarter, with the newcomers from both teams taking turns to contribute dunks one after another.

Especially Lin Ri, he seemed to really regard this rookie challenge as a "warm-up match" for his dunk contest tomorrow, dunking all kinds of things on the court.

And his dunks naturally made the audience applaud and express excitement. For these fans, today's Rookie Challenge is a reward for them. In previous years, not many people would care about rookies.

The challenge is particularly "lively" this year.

"I have to say that today's newcomers are less and less afraid of the big stage!"

Reggie Miller looked at all the young people on the court who were still unfinished, and sighed. In their time, reports about the NBA were all news from various TV stations and various media, newspapers and magazines. With such a large amount of coverage, generally

In this case, these reports are all about superstars of different eras. Players who do not have enough star status cannot face the camera a few times a year, which makes them appear particularly reserved on a stage like the All-Star Weekend.

, can’t let go at all.

And now, with the development of the Internet, even newcomers every year can get some exposure, which makes them no strangers to the camera, and they are even full of desire to perform on such a stage.

This may be why some people have discussed the Rookie Challenge in recent years, right?

Especially after a super newcomer named Lin Ri appeared among the newcomers, the attention he received suddenly increased a lot!

but……

In Reggie Miller's opinion, everyone has underestimated the expected level of attention for this Rookie Challenge.

Look at the atmosphere at the scene where everyone can see the explosion!

This is what the newcomers from the 2008 class and the 2009 class will bring about in this game...

Even when the intermission time came, there was still an atmosphere of constant screams. It was really hard to believe that this was what a rookie challenge could cause...

"Okay guys, let's get real in the second half!"

"There's still half a half, and all the performances that need to be performed have been completed. From now on, don't treat it as an entertainment game!"

After the halftime break, the expressions of both sides began to become serious when they came on the court again. They all knew that it was time to get serious, and the topic discussed by the experts before the game should have a result... After all.

Will the first grade team win or the second grade team?

The first-year team doesn't want to lose, they want to prove that the class of 2009 is an underestimated generation.

But the sophomore team is not so easy to admit defeat. Since the 2002 Rookie Challenge, the sophomore team has not lost. The 2008 class lost to the 2007 class last year. At that time, they could play with each other for one more year.

Comfort yourself, but now, they have become the side that has fought for one more year. If they lose this time, what excuse can they have?

You can’t say that this new generation is more powerful, right?

That definitely won’t work!

The face of the second-year students must be maintained well. Well, even if they fail, they cannot fail in their class!

In short, three words...cannot lose!

The fans at the scene also felt that the atmosphere on the court had undergone some changes, with active blocking and no more random attacks. From these aspects, it can be seen that both sides must be serious!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Perhaps neither side expected the opponent's defensive intensity to be so strong at first, and the first few attacks ended in failure.

"Whoosh!"

But at this moment, the determined Derrick Rose cut through the first-year team's defense with a sharp scalpel-like breakthrough, and then hit the ball into the basket with a gorgeous pull-bar.

This action drew cheers from the audience.

Players who have a style that can be seen at a glance are often more liked by fans, and Derrick Rose is such a player.

His style is such that even if he is mosaic, you can completely tell that this guy is Derrick Rose!

"He is destined to be a star of tomorrow!" Reggie Miller also made an immediate judgment.

He is particularly optimistic about Derrick Rose.

"Boom!"

But if we really want to talk about personal style, there is another player on the field who has more personal style than him.

This person is none other than Lin Ri!

Immediately after Derrick Rose scored the goal, Lin Ri also signaled his teammates to pass the ball to him.

He grabbed the ball near the high post and drove to the inside. Kevin Love's steps were quite fast and he kept up with Lin Ri's breakthrough. But when he got to the basket, Lin Ri turned around and squeezed him to the basket.

Then he dunked directly to complete the score!

The entire basket was pulled by him until it shook for a long time before it returned to its original state. There are really not many fourth positions with such destructive power in the current league.

Coupled with his aggressiveness, he is the only one in the entire league without a semicolon!

"This guy is really fierce!"

"At that moment, I thought the basket was going to be broken by him!"

"This guy is really scary. To be honest, no matter how long I watch him play, I will never get tired of it. This guy is really God's most favored guy!"

The auditorium also erupted in huge cheers just like before, but what was different from the previous cheers was that it was also mixed with various exclamations and comments.

In the eyes of these fans, Lin Ri's physical fitness is really a bit too abnormal.

In fact, it's not just them, everyone on the second-year team on the field also has a "did you see a ghost" expression. It's not like they haven't played with Lin Ri. More than half of the season has passed, and the Suns have already defeated the other 29 players in the league.

Every team has touched him. These guys who are the main force or even the core of their respective teams naturally have more or less contact with Lin Ri on the court.

Especially players like Kevin Love need to face him directly.

And this is exactly what Kevin Love wants to remember the least.

Kevin Love, who has entered the second year of his career, has failed to score a "double-double" in the only few games so far this season, including the two games against the Suns. These two games against Lin Ri were among them.

Once, he scored 18 points and 7 rebounds, and once he scored 16 points and 8 rebounds, both performances were below his season average.

This is the data that Kevin Love got when the Suns defeated the game in the third quarter and did not defend seriously in the fourth quarter. Otherwise, it would be even worse.

Now, Lin Ri's strong attack reminded him of the miserable confrontation with Lin Ri in those two games.

"Take up defense, make up defense, make up for defense!"

In the Rookie Challenge, the head coach is just a decoration, and the players on the court decide how to play.

Seeing that Kevin Love could not handle Lin Ri by himself, they thought of asking Lopez to provide supplementary defense.

It's not that I didn't think about being double-teamed directly, but in such a rookie challenge game, it was a bit too much to be double-teamed, especially when the double-team was the heart of the fans. In order to avoid hearing boos, they thought it was better to double-team.

It’s more appropriate to make up defense.

On the stage of the Rookie Challenge, this is actually the most intense defense.

If this still fails to prevent Lin Ri, then we can only resign ourselves to fate.

Lin Ri still attacked hard in the next round, rushing straight to the inside with a "raising fire to the sky" style action. Lopez, as previously discussed, immediately stepped in for Kevin Love.

But as soon as he moved, Lin Ri's hand holding the ball high moved his hand and passed the ball to Hansbrough behind Lopez.

Hansbrough hasn't had the ball in a long time.

There is no way, the cheers at the scene have proven that as Lin Ri's partner, the most important thing is to open up space for Lin Ri and let him attack, so that he can complete the task well on the court.

Even though Hansbrough was also a superstar in the NCAA last year, in front of Lin Ri, he really wasn't enough!

But Hansbrough, who had given up the idea of ​​still being able to attack, just caught the ball that fell straight into his hands.

At the same time, his position is also unmarked...

"Boom!"

Hansbrough no longer hesitated and jumped directly to complete the dunk!

After the dunk sounded, he also received cheers from the audience.

Wasn't this goal scored too easily?

While returning to defense, Hansbrough muttered something in his mind.

He didn't expect that he could score a goal so easily!

This is a chance he has rarely had since playing with the Pacers!

I didn’t expect that I would get it so easily by partnering with Lin Ri.

Is this this guy's ability to attract defenses?

Accident, this must be an accident...

Um!

It's not that Hansbrough doesn't want to believe it, it's just that the influence of this stadium is too great.
To be continued...
