Chapter 222 The rookie game full of entertainment spirit
The time for the All-Star Weekend is very tight, and the two participating teams in the Rookie Challenge only have one chance to practice together before the game.
However, this kind of competition is purely a performance. The result of the competition has nothing to do with honor. If you don't win the house, you won't win the land (except for dog betting). Everyone just needs to show their talents to the fullest.
Besides, we have come all the way from the NCAA, and we have often played against each other in the league. Everyone is very familiar with each other, and the teammates' style of play, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses are all well understood.
The only person that everyone is not familiar with is Dorsey. It's not that they don't know him. In fact, this guy's familiar personality has already become one with everyone.The main reason is that this product has changed too much since entering the alliance!What a world-shaking change!
To be precise, it began to change from the senior year.
Originally a good defensive player, inside coolie, and blue-collar center, why did he suddenly become enlightened and start to have offensive capabilities?And the more he attacked, the more he attacked, the more crazy he played, and now he was almost becoming the main scoring point of the Rockets!
And from the inside to the outside, at the position of shooting guard, he actually put the majestic four shooting guards and former two-time NBA scoring champion McGrady on the bench!
What's more, he is not necessarily a shooting guard. This season he has played center, power forward, small forward, and shooting guard. Except for the point guard, he has played in other positions. The man who reached number 5!
Everyone is wondering, what is Adelman thinking, why is the employer so unconstrained and eclectic? !It's not a legend, isn't this old guy very conservative in his formation?
And Dorsey, what's going on with this guy?How to progress so fast and change so much!Was it possessed by something strange?I really want to tie him up, slice it and study it!
During training, everyone jokingly brought up this topic.Dorsey still didn't change his true nature of talking, and the way of answering was very "Dorsey": "What's so strange about this, I'm a genius!"
Based on this talk alone, everyone is very sure that this guy is Dorsey, or that talk, without a slight change!
Dorsey's performance made Wade, the coach of the first-year team, quite a headache.
Yes, the first-year coach was "The Flash" Wade.
The second-year coach is "Warcraft" Howard.
With these two coaches, the quality of the rookie game can be seen.
Not only did the coach find two laymen, but even the commentators were active players. TNT was responsible for explaining the game with James and Pau Gasol!
The All-Star Weekend is all about entertainment, and whoever plays well will be the prettiest kid at the NBA carnival.
Although the game is irregular, the lineup cannot be arranged casually.In fact, the more such a game is, the more it can reflect the status of the players on the field.
In terms of performance this season alone, Dorsey is one of the best players among first-year rookies. "East Ross, Sidoshi", Yu Liang momentarily.
But where to put him?
The 2008 rookie class is a good group of young people with great players at every position.Dorsey's performance is better than others, but where is he?Let him start in any position, it seems that it is unfair to the full-time players in this position.
This requires a comprehensive consideration of the player's status, strength, fame, relationship, personality, popularity...
Just thinking about it gives me a headache!
Finally, after careful consideration, Wade finally made an arrangement.
First-year starters: PG Rose, SG Rudy Fernandez, SF Beasley, PF Dorsey, C Greg Oden
Dorsey was installed at power forward, and the lineup also included two fake freshmen: Fernandez and Oden.
Howard's second-year lineup: PG Rodney Stuckey, SG Thaddeus Young, SF Kevin Durant, PF Jeff Green, C Al Horford
In TNT's on-site commentary booth, the two commentators chatted happily.
James: "I checked the information, the first-year team has not won the second-year team for 6 years! In fact, since the rookie game was restructured in 2000, the first-year team has only won the second-year team once!"
Gasol smiled faintly: "Hey, the last time a freshman won a game was in 2002, and I was on that team!"
Versailles came suddenly!
James: "Haha, Paul, do you think the first grade can win this time? There are a lot of good guys in the first grade! Rose was even selected as an All-Star!"
Gasol: "The first grade is good, but I think the experience of the second grade will make them more mature in the game. This is also the reason why the second grade has been able to dominate the first grade over the years. What's more, I think the audience The toughest guys are still on the sophomore team."
"If I'm not mistaken, you're talking about Kevin"
"Yes, it's Durant! LeBron, to be honest, I think he is the most powerful attacker after you!"
"Durant is good, but I think the first-year team has another attacker worthy of attention besides Rose."
"You're talking about Joey Dorsey! He's a good player, but his mouth seems to be even better!"
"Hahaha~"
There was a happy air in the commentary booth.
Before the game, the venue lights were turned off, leaving only a spotlight.Under the introduction of the on-site DJ, the rookies were guided into the stadium by spotlights one by one.
When Joey Dorsey was introduced, the spotlight swept across the first-year bench and found no one.
"I'm here!"
With a yell, the spotlight was shot on the bench of the second-year team, but their head coach Howard stood up and waved to everyone.
"what?!"
There was an involuntary exclamation in the stands.
We all know that Dorsey and Howard look alike, and some people ridicule that they are twin brothers, but this is incredible!Could it be that Dorsey really pretended to be Howard as the coach of the second-year team for a long time.
But soon, Howard sat down, the spotlight suddenly turned back to the first-year bench, and the real Dorsey suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
After a moment of silence in the American Airlines Center stands, a roar of laughter broke out.
These two big guys who look like thieves have teamed up to trick the whole world!
Not only do these two guys look alike, but they also have a great sense of entertainment and humor. Maybe they are really half-brothers who have been separated for many years? !
James: "Haha, I was almost fooled by these two guys!"
Gasol said with a smile: "Fortunately, Howard is coaching the second-year team. If he coached the first-year team, these two guys might really dare to change the day, hit each other, sit on the bench and direct Dorsey, The player on the court has become Howard!"
After this entertaining joke, the rookie competition is about to start!
