Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 227 [Two kinds of mentality, the star among the stars]

The first grade didn't call a timeout, James brought the ball to the frontcourt, Prince defended in the middle, and the players pulled away.

At this time, the stars often choose to single out, just like two western cowboys confront each other and draw their guns to fight for life and death.

The key attack, but James hesitated.

He was worried about not making a shot. Prince is a good defensive player. He has been taught in the regular season. If he doesn't make a shot, the team will lose to him.

The flaws in James' character began to be revealed. He didn't dare to take responsibility, and if he missed a key ball, he would feel very uncomfortable all night.

This is the difference between him and Wang Jun, so Wang Jun reaches out on the right side and is ready to catch the ball at any time.

When Wang Jun encounters this kind of thing, he will think: This is what I have to do, and I should do it, because I am the most accurate, and everyone else has to stand aside.

Even if he misses the shot, because he missed it himself, he will feel at ease. He will be very depressed when others miss a shot, and he will keep thinking, maybe I will make this shot.

Prince's defense is indeed very good, but he is tall and weighs only 95 kilograms, and is very thin. If James plays hard, he has an absolute advantage in strength.

Another weakness of James is that he is not good at attacking with backs and is used to breaking through the frame, so it is difficult to get rid of Prince.

James considered whether to pass the ball to Wang Jun, and Murray's defense was not very good.

If Wang Jun scores and wins, the MVP will probably be won, which makes him a little jealous.

At this moment, he fully understood why Wang Jun didn't want to join forces with him. A team can have two cores, but like Jordan and Pippen, they must distinguish between primary and secondary.

With Jordan as the main force and Pippen as the assisted one, the Bulls won six championships. But Pippen has regrets, being the second child all his life, is he really willing?

James chose to pass the ball to Anthony on the left.

Anthony singled out Stoudemire is a natural dislocation. This choice is smarter.

Anthony turned around and flicked his face, took a step towards the baseline, and made a quick stop for a jumper.

He moves beautifully, dodging the block, but he's a little quick. And there is no choice between looking for a board and looking for a frame. 45 degrees shot a ball to find the frame and missed.

"Miss... a rebound!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly.

There are only five seconds left in the time, as long as the second-year player wins this rebound, it is almost equal to winning the game.

Seeing that Anthony missed a shot, Nene was relieved. He knew that Bosh had pulled out of the perimeter and didn't get stuck with him. The ball bounced in his direction again. It's a win.

This is not the time to relax. Nene is not a rebounder.

In the Nuggets, Camby is responsible for rebounding, and Nene's specialty is to rely on mobility to defend against pick-and-rolls.

As a tall man, Nene averaged only 6.5 rebounds per game in 33 minutes, 2 of which were offensive rebounds. His problem is that he lacks the enthusiasm to protect backcourt rebounds.

In the NBA, sometimes half a second of hesitation can change the outcome of a game. Just like last year's All-Star Game, Jermaine O'Neal fouled Kobe at the last moment of the regular season and ruined Jordan's retirement performance.

Wang Jun saw Anthony take the ball. You know the ball won't pass anymore.

He got rid of Bosh's cover from the right side and immediately slanted into the penalty area, rushing to grab the offensive rebound.

Wang Jun and Nene are very different in size, even if he judged the right direction, it would be difficult to take it down, so he took off with all his strength and tried his best to steer the ball towards the basket with one hand.

Even if he didn't score, his teammates might grab the rebound on the other side. Nene found that Wang Jun rushed up and jumped late, and the three fingers of Wang Jun's right hand successfully touched the basketball.

At this moment, the audience was very quiet, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the result.

The ball touched the backboard lightly, landed on the basket, bounced slightly again, and scored! 140 to 139.

Wang Jun made a tip-up, and the fans in the audience burst into cheers and applauded vigorously.

"Go in! Go in!" Yu Jia yelled: "Wang Jun tipped the basket and made a quasi-lore. It's unbelievable. He performed so well this time!"

Zhang Lili breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The key offensive rebound is also the only offensive rebound he has in this field. It is so beautiful. With 40 points, his rebounds have also reached 10. The final lore, today he will definitely be the MVP."

At 3.7 seconds, the second grade had another chance to attack. Coach Cooper called a timeout and arranged for the final attack.

The fans were hooked, and there was still suspense in the game.

According to common sense, it is more certain to give Murray a shot. He has hot hands today, scored 10 assists, and played very well.

But Murray is an unknown player. He is only the sixth man in the Sonics and has a weak sense of presence. The coach chose Stoudemire.

"Amare catches the ball from the outside and takes advantage of your height. Tyshawn, this serve is very important, and the pass must be accurate."

Stoudemire played the longest between the two teams today, and his efficiency is not low, with 36 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists. If he scores this lore, he will lead the team to victory and win the MVP.

But he is not suitable for shooting lore. As an insider, he cannot rely on his teammates to cover and get the ball. On the other hand, he is good at cutting, not shooting with the ball.

Yao Ming went down to rest, and the coach wouldn't let him shoot the game-winning shot. If he wanted to take advantage of his height, Yao Ming's shots were actually better than Stoudemire's.

The first-year team took advantage of the timeout to send in defensive players. Kaman replaced Wang Jun, and the coach specifically asked Bosh to keep up with Stoudemire.

Against Bosh, how can Stoudemire have an advantage in height?

After the timeout ended, a few big muscular men stood there, and it seemed that it was not easy to score a goal.

After playing 35 minutes, Stoudemire was already very tired. He barely caught the ball and then dribbled a step. Under the interference of Bosh, he shot the ball, which was outrageous.

Kaman picked up the basketball and held it in his arms. Before the second-year player stepped forward to foul, the game was over.

The fans gave applause to the rookies. This was the most exciting rookie game in recent years. The two sides staged many wonderful dunks, and the last ten minutes were still very intense.

The first grade won, but James was not very excited. He came up and hugged Wang Jun with a bitter smile.

Zhang Lili sighed: "The second grade has tactical problems. Stoudemire has played for too long, and Yao Ming is very energetic. If Yao Ming is allowed to vote in the end, maybe the chances will be better."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "The results of the selection will be announced soon. The rookie MVP probably belongs to Wang Jun, and it may also be James. His statistics are also very good."

After a while, the results came out, and the MVP trophy was jointly won by Wang Jun and James.

James was visibly relieved that this was the first time the rookie game won jointly.

The two MVP audiences of the Rookie Challenge can accept it, because the two have won the MVP together three times in the history of the All-Star Game.

In 2000, O'Neal and Duncan won the MVP together; as early as 1993, Malone and Stockton also won the MVP together; earlier in 1959, Elgin Baylor and Bob Pettit were all-star game history last time.

Both of them are double-doubles in terms of statistics, and Wang Jun has a slight advantage in efficiency because he shoots more three-pointers and has a higher shooting percentage, but he can't shoot so smoothly without James' pass.

The leaders of the league discussed and decided to let them be elected together, and they discussed how to divide the trophy.

Tonight, they were the stars of the show! (To be continued.)
