am i proud?

Chapter 43 A Kun at the Start (Today's second update)

The joint practice of the second-year team was completely different from that of the rookie team. Everyone just shot randomly, and then the sub-teams played a little confrontation and it was over.

There is no other reason, the players of the second-year team did not pay attention to the rookie team at all.

In their view, they only need to show [-]% of their strength in this rookie match to win the game.

No wonder they are so proud. After all, pride is also based on strength. Take a look at their current performance this season:

拜伦.戴维斯场均14.3分7.4助攻，理查德.汉密尔顿场均17.8分3.1篮板2.9助攻，肖恩.马里昂场均17.5分10.6篮板，拉马尔奥多姆场均17.4分8篮板，昆汀.理查德森场均8分3.5助攻，贾森.特里场均19.8分4.9助攻，安德烈.米勒场均15.8分8.1助攻，沃利.斯泽比亚克场均14.6分5.6篮板。

Except for Quentin Richardson, who was a little bit close, everyone else has entered the team's starting lineup.

On the rookie team, only Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller entered the team's starting lineup. Darius Miles and Wang Dalin can only be regarded as the main rotation members of the team. As for the others... Thank God for playing time!
No matter how you calculate it, the strength of this rookie team is far worse than that of the second-year team. It's really strange that they can take it seriously!
From the perspective of the second-year team players, this confrontation match is nothing more than an exhibition match, and everyone has tacitly agreed that it is enough not to let the "little brothers" lose too badly.

They didn't expect that the 9 players of the rookie team were sharpening their swords, and they were going to do a good job in tomorrow's game!
During the joint practice on February 2, Coach Cheeks determined the starting lineup for tomorrow.

The first one to be settled was Wang Dalin. Because of his "up to 206cm" height, Cheeks decisively arranged this guy to the center position.

After Miller received the ball, there was no one in front of him. He even deliberately took a step back to the three-point line before raising his hand to shoot. The ball went through the basket again with a "swish", 10:0!

The point guard is Wang Dalin's teammate Eddie House. There are only two guards in the team. His average data per game is slightly better than that of Martin Cliffs, and he is obviously better defensively.

Because the rookie team had too many center forwards, Mike Miller, who played power forward in the Magic, was assigned to the position of shooting guard by coach Cheeks. His height is also 201 cm, and he is the only one who is most suitable for playing shooting guard in this team.

The power forward position is Kenyon Martin. He is a "serious" 206cm tall and has no moisture at all.

Eddie House dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and showed a set of fancy dribbles in front of Baron Davis. Davis couldn't help showing a disdainful smile—how dare he slap me in front of me just these few times?

First of all, strive to win a kun at the beginning of the game... Ah bah, go all out to grab points at the beginning of the game!
According to Wang Dalin's many years of watching experience, no matter whether it is the main game or the rookie match, most of the two sides in the opening stage of the game are playing, and no one will play seriously.

Seeing that Wang Dalin had already picked up speed, Odom, unable to defend in time, simply watched him hit a one-handed dunk, 5:0.

During the jump ball, Wang Dalin jumped high, one palm higher than the center of the second-year team Odom, and won the first attack for the rookie team.

That's right, just last night Wang Dalin discussed with his teammates for more than an hour and made a very sophisticated plan.

Looking back, the second-year team all pulled apart, and "Bearded" Davis lowered his focus from outside the three-point line to single-handed House.

For the All-Star Game, when it's time to release water, you have to release water...that's what Odom thinks.

After all, the Philadelphia 76ers' defense this season is notorious, and Wang Dalin interfered with him just now, in his opinion, it was just a show, but he thought it was an empty basket, so he was swayed.

"Shh!"

The position of the small forward is Maurice Peterson. He is 201cm tall and has a standard small forward figure. His three-point shooting percentage is as high as 38.2%, and his outside shooting ability is very good.

Before the jump ball, Wang Dalin paid attention to his teammates one by one, and everyone blinked and smiled at him... "Brother, don't look, we know that we will follow the plan!"

During the joint training, Coach Cheeks gave everyone some advice on defense. As for offense... Wang Dalin's high-level support was quite effective, so he didn't bother to care about it-how could he admit that he didn't understand offense at all?
Anyway, from his point of view, the rookie team will be running with them tomorrow, so how could they possibly win?
For the vast majority of fans, the biggest highlight of this game is actually another bet between Barkley and Smith.

Looking back, he also played a breakthrough. Just as he entered the three-second zone and was about to make a layup, he was shaken by Wang Dalin's long arm. The ball hit the iron with a "dang", and Wang Dalin accepted the rebound.

"I..." Odom really wanted to curse out loud, but saw Cheeks on the rookie team's bench applauding Wang Dalin's wonderful defense, and said to himself, "The defensive coach really deserves a beating!"

I have to say, this bet...is very "Barkley"!
The game started as scheduled.

The second-year team was a little anxious. The next attack, Davis used the cover of his teammates to enter the three-second zone. Facing Martin, he wanted to force a layup, but was slapped by Martin.

He thought that the reason why Wang Dalin "seriously defended" was all because of Cheeks' instigation.

The rookie team attacked again, and Wang Dalin came to the high position to support the ball. He played a pick-and-roll with Martin, moved to the flank, and attracted the opponent's defensive attention. Then he threw a high lob, and Martin jumped high to catch the ball.

House did not try to dribble past Davis, but passed the ball to Wang Dalin at the top of the three-point arc.

After receiving the ball, Wang Dalin looked around and listened to all directions, and saw Morris Peterson running behind him. Wang Dalin handed him a hand, and took advantage of the situation to help him block Jason Terry who was chasing him.

Miller's three-pointer was very precise, and the score instantly became 3:0.

If the sophomore team wins, Smith has to call Barkley "Uncle Charles" 10 times during the live broadcast; if the rookie team wins, Barkley has to eat Smith's underwear...

Wang Dalin and the others did the opposite - if you don't fight seriously, we won't release water!

After receiving the pass from Martin, House immediately stepped down. Davis quickly retreated after missing a shot. House flicked his wrist and passed the ball to the other side. Wang Dalin did not hesitate to break through to the basket after receiving the ball.

Davis did not choose to break through, but took two steps forward and suddenly made an emergency stop jumper. He probably wanted to bully House, who was obviously not as tall as him.As a result, the ball bounced far away with a "dang", and Martin grabbed the rebound.

7: 0!

Davis gestured to the team's bench, and Coach Turner quickly called a timeout.

Back on the bench, Wang Dalin and his teammates clapped their hands one by one to celebrate. On the other side, the faces of Davis, Odom, Terry, Marion and others were obviously gloomy.

"Fack!" Terry couldn't help cursing out loud, and the others also showed their resentment.

I bought a watch last year!
The birds of your rookie team... are obviously young people who don't talk about martial arts?
