NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 39 All-Star Rookie Game

The Timberwolves served again, and after reaching the front court, it was still in the hands of Wiggins.

At this time, Su Tian took the initiative to come to the opposite side of Wiggins.

Don’t you want to hit me? Come on, let’s see who educates whom!

Wiggins thought that the ball just now was a coincidence, so he started to break through Su Tian again.

Su Tian activated the death coil again. Wiggins was in a dilemma, feeling as if he had gotten into a glove.

Seeing that nothing could be done, Wiggins passed the ball to Pekovic under the basket.

At this time, Pekovic's position is not good, with Love behind him and James beside him to help prevent interference.

Pekovic played the ball again and gave it to Bennett who was pulling away.

When Bennett caught the ball, there was not enough time, so he had to take a shot, but as expected, he missed.

Bennett: You guys hit all the good shots and you all blame me?

It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack. After Su Tian got the ball, he did not pass it out. He held the ball and went inside, wanting to see if he could challenge Pekovic's defense head-on.

Rushing to the basket, Su Tian collected the ball and took a European step, with his shoulder against Pekovic. He made a layup with his right hand and raised his left hand to protect the ball.

Bang——shua——

Basketball hits the board into the net.

Su Tian clenched his fist excitedly, then looked back at Pekovic cautiously.

Su Tian: I'm not cowardly, I just pay more attention to etiquette.

With Su Tian's layup, the Timberwolves successfully changed from leading to falling behind, but Wiggins still did not find a suitable offensive method.

In the end, as the Timberwolves' morale continued to decline, the Timberwolves' players no longer wanted to continue playing.

105-96, Cavaliers defeated Timberwolves.

Wiggins had 33 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. He only scored 3 points in the fourth quarter, which was completely different from the first three quarters.

Su Tian finished the game with 33 points, 8 assists, 2 rebounds, and two steals. In the last quarter, he scored 15 points by cheating.

In the first three quarters alone, Su Tian's performance was not as good as Wiggins', but those who watched the fourth quarter agreed that Su Tian's performance was better than Wiggins' overall!

Except for physical fitness.

Wiggins' desire to attack began to be questioned. Many media questioned why Wiggins did not dare to break through in the last quarter and only shot from the outside.

Wiggins said in distress, "Don't I want to?" Well, I really don't think about it, but the main reason is that Su Tian's defense is too tight and he can't break through.

After this battle, Wiggins saw how tough Su Tian was when he was fully defensive, and no longer dared to treat Su Tian as a soft persimmon.

In fact, many players who have experienced Su Tian's defense in the fourth quarter have great recognition of Su Tian, ​​including some already famous stars such as Wade and Kobe.

After the match against the Timberwolves, Su Tian didn't have time to rest for a long time, so he quickly got up to train the next day.

It's not about Su Tian's hard work, but that Wadeka's fusion is almost complete!

At this time, Su Tian felt that he had endless strength and wanted to pierce the window paper as soon as possible.

There is an inexplicable sense of anticipation for opening the next template card, just like opening a blind box. It's like, you don't know what surprise the technician who walks in will bring you.

Along with this nervous and exciting mood, the time came to February 2th.

The Cavaliers just finished their away game with the Bulls. The Cavaliers lost the last game before the All-Star Game 98-113.

Rose had 30 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, which made Irving feel a little autistic.

Su Tian's performance in this game was not good enough. The combination of Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah inside the Bulls greatly restricted Su Tian's breakthrough.

Su Tian only scored 13 points, 5 assists and 2 rebounds in the game, but it was already the third highest score after James and Irving.

Love was injured and did not play in this game. As the schedule continues to deepen, each team has experienced different injuries of different sizes, but there is no way. Injuries are also part of the game and can only be avoided as much as possible.

However, the upcoming All-Star Weekend can also give players a breath of relief.

After Su Tian returned home, he also summarized his weaknesses. Although Su Tian was still the strongest contender for the best rookie, various teams also began to study him.

Su Tian's current game is roughly divided into "three axes", breakthrough layups, three-pointers and outside defense.

Therefore, many teams began to defend Su Tian in a targeted manner.

In terms of mid-range shooting, although the value is not low, the stability and anti-interference ability are poor, and it cannot be used as a regular offensive method.

Although with the advent of the small ball era, the mid-range is getting less and less attention, but a stable mid-range is still a move that can kill people.

Su Tian can only hope that the system can draw a mid-range marksman, such as Kobe, Jordan, and the like.

On February 2th, the all-star appetizer hits—the All-Star Rookie Game, which will start at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Before the game started, the local team's McAway announced that he would miss the game due to injury.

As a result, the local team has no useful immediate combat power, while the international team also has Wiggins and Su Tian, ​​who can be said to be the twin stars of the 14th edition.

Media interviews are mostly concentrated between the two. Although Wiggins is an international team, there are still many local media supporting him. After all, Maple Leaf Country knows everything.

Hawks assistant coach Kenny Atkinson serves as the head coach of the international team, while Warriors assistant coach Gentry coaches the local team.

The starting lineup of both parties:

Team USA: Payton, Oladipo, Pope, Noel, Zeller.

World Team: Schroeder, Su Tian, ​​Wiggins, Antetokounmpo, Gobert.

There is no doubt that, facing such a good opportunity, Su Tian will definitely earn the MVP of the rookie game, and Su Tian is also confident of winning it.

Because Su Tian's Wedeka has been integrated to the point where only a little bit is left!

As soon as the first quarter started, Su Tian's desire to attack was particularly strong, and he attacked inside with the ball.

Although Oladipo is not bad, he has obviously not completed the upgrade yet and cannot hold down the protruding Su Tian at all.

With five minutes left in the first half, Su Tian was replaced. Su Tian, ​​who had played so well, was very happy, but Wiggins, whose offensive desire had obviously declined, did not compete with Su Tian for the ball.

In fact, Wiggins has never been a person who insists on the ball, but sometimes he is willing to play, and sometimes he is not.

苏天上半场18分5助攻2篮板1抢断,三分球5投3中,维金斯拿到11分3篮板2助攻,国际队也以60-56领先本土队结束上半场。

At the beginning of the second half, Su Tian was not replaced immediately, but others took turns to come on. Su Tian was not in a hurry. The call had not yet been paid, so he was not in a hurry.

Finally, with 8 minutes left before the end of the game, Atkinson replaced Su Tian and Wiggins at the same time.

At this time, the score was 100-95, with the international team leading by 5 points.

Su Tian came up and continued to attack with the ball, passing the ball to his teammates from time to time.

After Su Tian and Wiggins had a simple pick-and-roll match, it suddenly felt like Wiggins was really a useful second-in-command.

He has a good temper, no ambition, and is good at everything except for having a lower desire to attack. But as a second-in-command, if he doesn't want to put in effort in attack, it's okay. As long as he is willing to work hard when defending, Wiggins will be a top second player with his physical fitness.

This reminded Su Tian of Iguodala. Iguodala also had excellent physical fitness back then, but was questioned for having low offensive desire.

Minnesota's management also didn't expect that Su Tian, ​​who they planned to use as Jordan's envoy, would instead be used as their second-in-command.

With the cooperation of Su Tian and Wiggins, the two played a wonderful match, and Su Tian also gave Wiggins an alley-oop.

In the end, the international team defeated the local team 121-112.

苏天全场28分9助攻4篮板1抢断,维金斯拿到22分6篮板4助攻1抢断1封盖,两人双星闪耀表现同样出色。

Others in the international team, Mirotic had 16 points, Gobert had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Bogdanovic had 16 points, Schroeder had 13 points and 9 assists, and Antetokounmpo had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

For the local team, Oladipo had 22 points, LaVine had 12 points, Burke had 15 points, Plumlee had 12 points and 9 rebounds, Zeller had 12 points, and Shabazz had 10 points.

After the game, the MVP was announced, and it was obvious that none of these people could pose a threat.

As expected, Su Tian won the Rookie Challenge MVP.

Su Tian raised the trophy and delivered his acceptance speech, while photographers took pictures nearby. Unknowingly, Su Tian also left his own mark on the NBA.
