Chapter 214 Another Confrontation
Lin Ri didn't know that Gentry was "dissatisfied" with him playing so actively at the moment.

Of course, even if Gentry is not satisfied, Lin Ri should still do this... He has to rely on rewards to continue to make rapid progress in the offseason!

Although there are three tasks that can be rewarded, in comparison, the current task is undoubtedly the task that he is most likely to receive a reward, so he must do his best to win this award.

The second quarter was basically the same as the first quarter. The rookies of the two teams took turns to contribute dunks one after another.

Especially Lin Ri, he seems to really regard this rookie challenge as his "warm-up match" for tomorrow's slam dunk contest, and he dunks all kinds of dunks on the court.

And his dunks naturally made the audience clap their hands and applaud, everyone looked excited. For this part of the fans, today's Rookie Challenge can be regarded as their profit. In previous years, not many people would care about the Rookie Challenge this year. This year is extraordinarily "lively".

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

Reggie Miller looked at all the young people on the field who were still full of ideas, and expressed emotion. In their era, the reports about the NBA were news from various TV stations, various media newspapers, and magazines. With such a large amount of coverage, these reports generally belonged to superstars of that era.

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

Maybe this is also the reason why some people have discussed the Rookie Challenge in recent years?

Especially after a super newcomer named Lin Ri appeared among the newcomers in this year, the attention gained has suddenly increased a lot!

but……

In Reggie Miller's view, everyone's attention to this Rookie Challenge is still a bit underestimated.

Take a look at the atmosphere of the scene where anyone can see that it was blown up!
This is what the 08 rookie and the 09 rookie have brought about in this competition...

Even when the halftime break came, there were still all kinds of screaming atmosphere on the scene. It was really unbelievable. This is what a rookie challenge can cause...

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

"There is still half of the time, and all the performances that should be performed have already been performed. Next, don't play it as an entertainment competition!"

And after the halftime break, the faces of both sides became more serious when they played 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...Whether the first-year team will win or the second-year team will win!

The first-year team didn't want to lose, they wanted to prove that the 09 class was an underrated generation.

But the second-year team is also not so easy to admit defeat. Since the rookie challenge in 02, the second-year team has never lost. The 08 team lost to the 07th team last year. At that time, they could comfort themselves with the opponent's extra year of fighting. But now, they have become the team that has played for an extra year. If they lose this time, what excuses do they have?

It can't be said that this newcomer is more fierce, right?

That must not work!
The face of the second-year students must be well maintained, well, even if they fail, they can't fail in their class!

In short, three words... can't lose!

The fans at the scene also felt some changes in the atmosphere on the field, positive positioning, and no longer random offense. From these aspects, it can be seen that both sides must be serious!

"Dangdang!"

"Dangdang!"

Perhaps neither side thought that the opponent's defensive strength was so strong when they came up, and both sides ended in failure in the previous few attacks.

"Shh!"

But at this moment, Derrick Rose, who was determined, 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 drawbar.

This action drew cheers from the audience.

Players with 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 the kind that even if he is mosaiced, it can be completely seen that this guy is Derrick Rose!
"He is destined to be a star of tomorrow!" Reggie Miller also made a judgment immediately.

He is particularly optimistic about Derrick Rose.

"Bah!"

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

This person is none other than Lin Ri!

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

He caught the ball near the high position and dribbled to the inside to kill. Kevin Love's footsteps were still very fast, keeping up with Lin Ri's breakthrough, but when he reached the basket, Lin Ri turned around and squeezed him to the basket, and then dunked directly to complete the score!
The entire basket was shaken by him for a long time before returning to its original shape. There are really few such destructive fours 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. Seriously, no matter how long I watch him play, I won't get tired of it. This guy is really God's most eccentric guy!"

The auditorium was also the same as before, with huge cheers, but different from the previous cheers, it was also mixed with various exclamations.

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

In fact, it wasn't just them. Everyone on the second-year team on the field also had a "didn't see it" expression. It's not that they haven't played against Lin Ri. More than half of the season has passed, and the Suns have touched all the other 29 teams in the league.

Especially players like Kevin Love need to face him directly.

And this is precisely the last thing Kevin Love wants to recall.

Entering the second year of his career, Kevin Love has not won a "double-double" in the only few games so far this season. The two games against the Suns were among them. In the two games against Lin Ri, he once scored 18 points and 7 rebounds and once scored 16 points and 8 rebounds. His performance was lower than his season average.

This is the data that Kevin Love got when the Suns played the game in three quarters and did not seriously defend in the fourth quarter, otherwise it would be even worse.

Now, Lin Ri's strong attack reminded him of the misery he faced Lin Ri in those two games.

"Replenish defense, supplement defense, replace defense!"

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

Seeing that Kevin Love couldn't deal with Lin Ri alone, they thought about letting Lopez take the supplementary defense.

It's not that they didn't think about double-teaming, but in such a Rookie Challenge, double-teaming is a bit too much, especially if the double-teaming is the heart of the fans. In order to avoid boos, they think it's better to defend.

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

If Lin Ri can't be prevented like this, then he can only resign himself to fate.

Lin Ri still made a strong attack in the next round, rushing straight to the inside with a "raise fire to the sky" style action. Lopez, as agreed before, made up for Kevin Love in the first place.

It's just that as soon as he moved, Lin Rigao also flicked his hand holding the ball, and passed the ball to Hansbrough behind Lopez.

Hansbrough hadn't had the ball for a long time.

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

Even though Hansbrough was an NCAA superstar last year, he was really not enough to look down upon in front of Lin Ri!
But Hansbrough, who had given up on the idea of ​​still being able to attack, just received the ball that fell straight into his hands.

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

"Bah!"

Hansbrough didn't hesitate anymore, he just jumped up to complete the dunk!
After the dunk sounded, he was also cheered by the audience.

It's a little too easy to score this goal, right?

While returning to defense, Hansbrough said something in his heart.

He didn't expect that he could complete the goal so easily!

This is because he rarely has a chance after playing in the Pacers!

I didn't expect to get it so easily when I partnered with Lin Ri.

Is this the guy's ability to attract defenses?

Accident, this must be an accident...

Ah!
It's not that Hansbrough doesn't want to believe it, it's that the influence of this stadium is too great.

Is this something a rookie can have?
"Bah!"

Hansbrough thought it was an accident, but he didn't think so anymore after more than ten seconds, because Lin Ri attracted the defense again, and then gave the ball to him, allowing him to complete another easy dunk.

Two dunks in a row, two consecutive cheers, listening to the live DJ chanting his name, Hansbrough felt everything came back at this moment.

This is the spotlight he hasn't enjoyed for a long time.

He suddenly had the feeling that he was back on the big NCAA stage.

It also made him cast a grateful look at Lin Ri.

At the same time, he was very sure in his heart: partnering with this guy, even scoring is a bit easier than usual!
Seeing Hansbrough's gaze towards him, Lin Ri nodded slightly towards the latter.

However, he didn't read the gratitude in Hansbrough's eyes, and he didn't think about that. He just saw the open space of his teammates when the opponent defended, it's that simple.

"This guy's passing ability is really amazing!"

"Then do you still need to make up for the defense?"

Seeing that Lin Ri managed the offense of the entire first-year team in an orderly manner through his passing ability, the players on the second-year team were somewhat muttering at the moment.

The result of such a defense is predictable. It must be that Lin Ri made the entire first-year team players play well through his own pass, and then opened the whole game.

This can be seen from the point difference that has been stretched to more than 7 points.

The second-year team had to take some measures.

But these guys who play on the court, you can't expect them all to be tactical masters. All they know are the commonly used tactics.

Moreover, they haven't stood on the sidelines to watch, and they don't know what kind of cooperation they should have with each other to limit Lin Ri's cooperation with his teammates.

"Shh!"

Fortunately, there is Derrick Rose in their team at this moment. While others were gradually overwhelmed by Lin Ri's passing ability, Derrick Rose once again used his sharp breakthrough to complete the layup.

As the ball rolled into the basket, Derrick Rose clenched his fists and yelled.

He knows very well that the goal he scored is very critical to the entire team!

However, he really didn't expect that it was fine when he was in the Bulls. Now that the rookie challenge came, he was still the one who supported the team alone!
And the guy he was going to face was also the guy he wanted to beat—Lin Ri!
This is probably fate!

Derrick Rose put all his energy on the offensive end in the following time, and it was only with his goals one after another that the second-year team stabilized the situation.

However, it was only to stabilize the situation.

The sophomore team was behind by 5 points until 8 minutes and 35 seconds into the fourth quarter, and it still existed. Derrick Rose was very strong, and Lin Ri was also very strong. The two of them fought together during this period, and neither of them had a clear upper hand.

"No wonder the Bulls are now sixth in the East! Although Derrick Rose is young, he does already know how to become a core player in the team!"

Reggie Miller has been in Quarin Day just now, and now he finally couldn't help it, and gave a lot of exclamation to Derrick Rose. From the beginning to the present, the performance of the future core of the Bulls is really great!
"beep!"

The second-year team handed in a timeout at this time, which was their last timeout. Apart from giving them a breather, the rest of this timeout was to make the final substitution.

Derrick Rose looked at the 5 points behind, and his expression became more serious.

There are less than 4 minutes left in the game, and the score is only 5 points behind. This is undoubtedly a critical moment of the game, and it is also because he knows that this is a critical moment of the game that he looks so serious.

He has not performed as well as Lin Ri at critical moments twice in a row.

This time...he will definitely perform better than Lin Ri at the critical moment!
Not much to say!
Derrick Rose gritted his teeth and fought hard!
