"I will go all out when I play, no one can restrain me one on one!"

Upon hearing Iverson's words, everyone in the locker room laughed out loud. A basketball game is not a one-on-one game. Li You even said in a coaxing tone:

"Don't worry, we will take good care of you and try our best to create one-on-one opportunities for you!"

"."

The Rookie Challenge has only been held four times this year, which coincides with the NBA's Top 50 Stars and Top 10 Coaches events. This year, the two new teams are coached by legendary head coaches.

Cardinal Auerbach was more approachable than expected. He was wearing a black formal suit and looked older. When he came to the locker room, he greeted the newbie with a smile and did not talk about the game at all:

"It's great to be young and express yourself to the best of your ability after playing. I think the fans watching the game don't want to see complicated and boring tactical coordination anymore."

"Guys, go enjoy the game!"

"Li, after you come on stage, you will be responsible for controlling the rhythm of the game. You are already an All-Star player. Show your strength!"

Before going on the field, the old man simply took charge and patted Li You on the shoulder with a smile. Among all the new players, he is the only one with the highest achievements.

Li You, who had already changed his jersey, was not polite and responded confidently:

"Although the opposite team is coached by Mr. Holtzman, I said hello before the game. We will definitely win tonight's game."

When Auerbach heard Li You's words and looked at the serious looks of the new players, he completely turned into a fun fan and couldn't stop laughing for a while:

"It's great to be young!"

There is no complicated appearance ceremony at this time in the Rookie Challenge. Everyone has changed into their team uniforms, sat quietly on the bench, and waited for the DJ to shout:

"Let's welcome the 6-foot-3 All-Star guard from the University of Connecticut --

"Clay—Lee!"

In the Gund Stadium, the fans at the scene saw Li You wearing the white No. 1 jersey of the Knicks, stood up and waved, and immediately burst into cheers.

In the eyes of fans, those who can often reach the top 10 goals must be of great ability. Iverson and Li You are the most well-known for this.

Li You used "Sam Goad" to pass Michael Jordan and score 2 points. This round has been played repeatedly recently, which has brought him a huge popularity bonus.

The starting five for first-year Eastern Conference rookies:

Li You, Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Antoine Walker, Marcus Camby;

On the other side, the starting five for first-year Western Conference rookies are:

Matt Maloney, Kobe Bryant, Roy Rogers, Sharif Abdul-Rahim, Travis Knight.

Compared to the Eastern Conference rookie starting lineup, which has five players from five teams, for the Western Conference rookies, Maloney is currently the starting point guard of the Rockets, and the other four spots are taken by the Grizzlies and Lakers.

The expression on Iverson's face was "None of you can do it" and he looked very confident, but Li You smiled and fist bumped with several people opposite him.

The new Kobe Bryant was wearing the purple and gold Lakers away uniform at this time, with a particularly serious look on his face.

It is difficult for him to get much playing time with the Lakers. When it comes to the Rookie Challenge, he naturally wants to prove himself.

As Marcus Camby successfully jumped the ball, Li You controlled the ball and the Eastern Conference rookie team took the lead in attacking.

Iverson didn't even ask for the ball. He quickly ran across the half court and directed his teammates to get to the line to open up the offensive space.

Except for Marcus Camby, the other four players are all outside players. Therefore, Camby does not have the opportunity to show off his low-post skills and honestly pick and roll at the top of the key.

Everyone wants to win, so naturally they have to go all out to play. Kobe noticed that Li You was holding the ball in his left hand, slowing down as he approached the slow three-point line, and subconsciously moved forward, preparing to squeeze through the screen.

Li You didn't move too much. The moment Kobe was on defense, he quickly moved his left hand in and out. While his body was shaking, he took advantage of the situation and circled the ball behind his back.

Retrieving the ball with his right hand, Li You quickly lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough. Kobe followed his body's instinctive reaction and hurriedly slid to the left and back.

Li You pressed his shoulder to break through and dribbled across the three-point line. Taking advantage of the opponent's sliding defense, he quickly dribbled the ball behind his back. After switching to his left hand, he paused slightly when Camby stood still and pretended to break through to the left.

Kobe changed his center of gravity again, and just as he was about to slide to get close to the defense, Li You, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly turned sharply, grabbed the ball with his right hand again, and immediately accelerated with all his strength.

The fans at the scene only saw Kobe move two steps before completely losing his defensive position. Li You's fancy shaking made the fans at the scene cheer.

His teammates were out of position, and big man Knight was forced to delay early. Camby quickly moved down the court. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Li You broke through to the left block and threw the basketball high with his right hand.

Marcus Camby, who was coming down the middle, quickly accelerated, jumped up hard, grabbed the ball with both hands in the air, paused for a moment, then grabbed the ball with his right hand and pulled it back, then launched a powerful tomahawk dunk!

"Boom!!" The alley-oop dunk was successful!

"WOW!!"

The wonderful aerial connection suddenly ignited the atmosphere at the scene, and the fans exclaimed, followed by a burst of yelling.

After landing, Marcus Camby almost grinned to the back of his head. When he returned to defense, he excitedly high-fived Li You in celebration.

This cake is so delicious!

The new Kobe Bryant felt like he was being played and didn't say anything. When he was attacking, he came to the right wing outside the three-point line and asked for the ball.

Matt Maloney also gave face and immediately sent a cross pass. The basketball had just been released. Iverson saw the opportunity, suddenly accelerated, and directly stole the ball!

Before everyone on the Western Conference rookie team could react, the fast Iverson had already crossed the center line.

Holding the ball in his right hand and constantly accelerating, Iverson immediately jumped up with both feet when he came to the paint area, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and dunked with one arm!

After completing the dunk, Iverson immediately beat his chest and roared at the camera under the basket, which was full of camera sense!

The cheers of the fans made Matt Maloney look a little ugly. He didn't expect Iverson to be so serious.

When the Western Conference rookies attacked again, Kobe wanted the ball, but Matt Maloney chose to attack by himself.

Facing Iverson's defense at the top of the arc, Matt Maloney dribbled the ball under his crotch, held the ball in his right hand and crushed the breakthrough. He quickly turned around in the paint and tried to use his height advantage to get rid of Iverson's defense.

After turning around, he grabbed the ball with his left hand. Matt Maloney felt that he had completely shaken off the defense and took advantage of the situation to pick the basket with one hand.

As soon as the basketball flew into the air, Marcus Camby suddenly rose up and hit a big shot in front of him!

The moment the basketball was sent flying, Ray Allen looked to see who had an opportunity, took control of the ball, then threw the ball forward, ran without the ball, and accelerated across the half court with all his strength.

After Li You picked up the ball with his left hand, he continued to accelerate along the left sideline. Ignoring the physical confrontation from Kobe beside him, he rushed across the center line to the left wing outside the three-point line and threw the ball towards the basket.

.

Ray Allen, who was about to step down, rushed up with three big steps, easily caught the ball in the air, then rotated the ball in a circle, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and smashed the ball with his wheel arm!

"Boom!" Big Windmill dunked successfully!

After landing, Ray Allen gave Li You a thumbs up, just the right height, and a tacit pass.

They were beaten 6-0 at the beginning, but Knicks legend Holzman, who was sitting on the sidelines, still kept a smile on his face and even applauded Li You to show that he played well.

It was Raheem who scored first for the Western Conference Rookie Team. This low-key striker scored easily inside Antoine Walker.

Although it was only an exhibition game, Antoine Walker still raised his hand to indicate that he was lax on defense.

This time it was Iverson's turn to hold the ball in the backcourt and advance quickly. After half the court, he signaled Li You to run crosswise.

Iverson often played against the Knicks, and Iverson also knew this tactic. Li You moved quickly across the line from right to left, and Marcus Camby at the elbow on the left side of the free throw line delayed the pursuit of Kobe.

When Li You received a cross pass from Iverson and feinted the ball, Kobe, who was chasing him, subconsciously wanted to jump to block the shot. As a result, his center of gravity moved forward. Li You released the ball with his right hand, broke through smoothly, and passed the defense in one step.

.

Near the bottom line on the left, Roy Rogers immediately wanted to step forward to help defend. When he saw Li You's right hand suddenly pulling the ball back sharply as he was walking, he subconsciously thought he was going to give the ball to Ray Allen in the left corner.

Roy Rogers was shaken by Li You and slid to the left corner. When he came to his senses, he found that Li You had already taken three long steps to rush to the basket. He easily broke through to the basket and successfully picked up the basket with his right hand!

"oh!!"

The exclamations of the fans at the scene reminded me again that many viewers were also deceived by Li You's fake moves.

"Wonderful attack! Lee once again showed his superb skills. He not only deceived me, but also almost deceived the entire defense line!"

In the TNT commentary box, Hubie Brown was bragging along with him, but on the court, Kobe pursed his lips and raised his hands to indicate to his teammates that it was his problem.

8:2, except for Antoine Walker, everyone on the Eastern Conference rookie team scored.

Most of the new players are fans of Jordan. Walker said bad things about Michael Dunk in the locker room. No one except Li You passed the ball to him.

As the game time passed, Antoine Walker also realized this, but the fans at the scene didn't care about it.

Li You and Iverson showed different flashy playing styles, and no one cared about the Celtics' new players anymore.

In the last round, Kobe struggled to break through to the inside, scored two points, and quickly served the baseline ball, but was chased by Li You and passed the half court.

In a semi-switch attack, while the opponent was still retreating, Li You, holding the ball in his right hand, continued to accelerate and came to the paint area to quickly dribble behind his back.

The moment he switched to his left hand, he immediately jumped in the opposite direction, and at the same time quickly changed hands behind his back. Li You completely shook Kobe in front of him, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and easily picked the basket from the lower right side of the basket!

"oh!!"

In the Gund Stadium, as Li You changed hands behind his back and made a layup, the scene exploded. Many spectators in the front row stood up and cheered. The show was a blast!

In the future, Crawford's signature move Shake and Bake was easily performed by Li You. Feeling the cheers from the scene, Li You, who returned to defense, raised his right hand with a smile and raised it to his ear, making a listening gesture.

In the live commentary box, Hubie Brown, perhaps because he was older, seemed not to follow Li You's movements. He waited for a while before raising his voice:

"God, how did Lee pass by! What a creative goal!"

Kobe Bryant, the cute rookie who was shown off again, was very angry. He always felt that Li You's moves were flashy, but he could still excel.

The first half of the game only lasted 20 minutes. During the time when Li You was on the court, he kept showing off his cool moves.

Breaking through at the top of the arc, Li You passed the ball from behind without looking at anyone!
