shooting guard era

Chapter 144. 173. A different rookie game than usual

"I'll come soon! I'll beat you soon!" Jack said and stretched out his fist, which was printed on Ye Han's fist.

"Here's another gift, I'll give it to you." Ye Han took out a pen and wrote on the Superman card: Future NBA MVP, I'm waiting for you here—Ye Han.

Ye Han wrote it in Chinese, regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not.

After a while, Ye Han and the others really wanted to leave, but they were still a little bit reluctant to stay here, the children are so cute.

But at the end of the day, these children are just passers-by in the lives of the stars. They pack up and leave here, and they also have their own lives to live.

Reluctantly, the children waved their hands to send the stars' bus away. The kid named Jack was holding the Superman card that Ye Han gave him tightly in his hand, and his eyes were red.

This kid is not an idiot, he was very touched by Ye Han's non-sympathetic tone and eyes when he spoke, this card became his most precious thing.

On the bus, on the way back to the hotel.

"You did a good job just now." James rarely praised Ye Han.

"Uh..." Ye Han didn't expect James to praise him, and he had the impression that James was a small-bodied guy.

Ye Han's impression of James was that he was a petite master. He didn't know that the other party saw him in the same way.

The two are really natural rivals. They obviously have a good relationship with other people, especially James. Many people have a good relationship with him, but the two just don't see eye to eye.

After returning to the hotel, Ye Han went to bed early. He didn't do any physical work that day, but he was still very tired. Activities were the most troublesome.

……

Early the next morning, the staff of the Nuggets sent Ye Han three sets of tickets for the three-day game. These were what Ye Han asked for from the general manager of the Nuggets when he went to the funeral center yesterday.

Ticket sales are hot, yes, but these owners usually leave some tickets in good positions as favors.

Ye Han bid farewell to the three girls who wanted to sleep late, and were going to the Pepsi Center to watch the game at night. They went to the Pepsi Center together with Okafor and Arenas who were in the same hotel.

"Gilbert, you didn't have a match today, why did you come?" Ye Han asked strangely.

"Ace, you are so ruthless, I'm here to watch your game!" Arenas looked like a wounded daughter-in-law, as if he had been wronged so much.

Ye Han turned his head to look out of the car, and only after he got to know this guy well did he realize that this guy is a joke.

"Ace, today's game is not easy! The opponent is the 03 generation." Okafor wants to win, even if the opponent is very strong.

"Yes, the opponent has two All-Stars, but we also have two All-Stars, no problem." Ye Han was full of confidence, no matter who the opponent was, he would win!

Ye Han and Okafor began to discuss tonight's game. The two are undoubtedly the two strongest players among the rookies this year. They have played together for almost a season. The tacit understanding between the two is the key to this game. The key to winning.

Arenas watched Ye Han and Okafor's game exchange, and he was very impressed. This combination was something he was very envious of.Maybe the Wizards are stronger than the Bobcats now, but when the two grow up, it's hard to say who is stronger.

After arriving at the Pepsi Center and changing the jerseys, there are pre-match interviews, group photos and other things.

Finally, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and the game was about to start.

Since second-year players were also included in the All-Star Rookie Game and the All-Star Rookie Competition was renamed the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the annual All-Star Rookie Challenge has not been very intense.

The gap between first-year players and second-year players is obvious. Many players have already demonstrated All-Star level strength in second grade, and second-year players have much more experience than rookies, which seems even less suspenseful.

But today's game is a little more interesting because the rookie team has two All-Stars starting.

Since the reform of the rookie game, there have only been two cases where a rookie defeated a second-year player, but both times the rookie from the previous year was too bad, and the rookie who just entered the league was not as good as the rookie in the second year.

This time is obviously not such a special case. People are very optimistic about Ye Han. If it is placed in other years, people will really have great expectations for the rookie team led by Ye Han and Okafor.

But this time is different. Among the second-year players, there are three players who are close to the top ten players in the league, James, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, Kaman and other powerful insiders, and a mature point guard like Hinrich. , This lineup will be able to compete for the championship in another year or two. It is simply the epitome of an All-Star team. These nine players are all guys with All-Star potential.

But can this make Ye Han back down?impossible.

Ye Han looked at his teammates in front of him, and to be honest, he was a little far behind the group of people on the opposite side.In addition to him and Okafor, the best is probably the duo of Luol Deng and Ben Gordon. Among them, Ben Gordon is the number one favorite for the best sixth man this season, with outstanding strength.

Ye Han tentatively classified the four of them into one tier, the second tier was Howard and Iguodala, and the rest were just ordinary rookies with good potential, and they definitely couldn't be pointed at critical moments.However, because it is a rookie challenge, players with outstanding physical talents like Josh Smith and Tony Allen may have many opportunities to perform.

After looking at his lineup, and then at the second-year lineup, Ye Han could only say: dig grass.

According to the starting lineup announced before the game: In addition to Hinrich, Wade, Anthony, James, and Bosh, the bench lineup is Kapono, Kaman, and Korver and Haslem. A second-year player who is worth his money.

These nine people are the lineup for this year's second grade.

This year, Korver became the 76ers' most stable shooter in the first half of the season, averaging 12 points and 3 rebounds per game. He suffered an elbow injury in mid-January, and he was injured for 3 weeks because of his shooting. Come back to find the feeling.

Haslem is the Heat's No. [-] insider substitute, averaging close to a double-double per game.

This Nima is really not easy to fight.

03 The golden generation is really not just talk, it is really very strong!
Ye Han was thinking about how to win, and the second graders on the other side were also discussing.

"Carmelo, just attack when you get the ball, and leave it to us to defend and rebound!" James patted Anthony on the shoulder and said.

Anthony smiled, and the brothers are the best.

In the second grade, under the guidance of James, they decided to win the Rookie Challenge MVP for Anthony to make up for the regret that Anthony was not selected for the All-Star Game.

James' influence is the strongest among young players in recent years. He quickly persuaded these teammates to create opportunities for Anthony together.

"With a few of us here, we are sure to win today, as long as you score more points, Carmelo." Haslem was the first person to agree to the request of James and Wade. blue-collar players.

"It's not necessarily true. It's a little difficult to win." Wade looked at the other side of the bench.

"That's right, there's that guy here, we have to deal with it carefully." James' eyes were full of fighting spirit, and also full of the aura of certainty.
