Sign in from meeting Kobe

Chapter 214 The Tensioned Competition

When Su Hu finished speaking on his own, it was conceivable that Kobe and Fisher were already full of question marks.

"Okay, leave him alone, he is such a guy, sometimes what he says always makes people feel mysterious." Kobe laughed.

"Okay, okay, but I think I will remember what you said." Fisher still responded and gave Su Hu a polite smile.

Afterwards, the two also shook hands in a friendly manner.

The rookie competition was not as serious as the usual competitions. All the players participating in the competition were very friendly and polite to each other, just like a group of old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The same is true for Su Hu, who has said a few words to many people more or less, and everyone is very polite.

Especially Nash, although the two of them didn't have any close conversations during the game, but in the rookie game, Nash took the initiative to chat with Su Hu.

"Su Hu, your pass is great. To be honest, that kind of pass is very imaginative, I like it very much!" Nash at that time, with long flowing hair, had to say, was really handsome.

"Haha, really, thank you for your liking." Su Hu was obviously very happy.

"Seriously, I hope there is time, we can have a good chat, is there a specific movement for this kind of pass. You know, I like one-handed passes, but my coach often has to correct this. , they think one-handed passes are prone to turnovers, and I don't think so."

For the matter of passing the ball, Nash is obviously very interested and has his own opinions.

"Well, passing the ball with both hands is more stable, but if you pass the ball with one hand, you can obviously have more freedom in the angle of the pass, and I think it is also very entertaining."

Su Hu nodded, also agreeing with Nash's statement.

"We thought about this together, but to be honest, in this alliance, if you want to take the initiative to change, you still have to show your own strength. Let's work hard slowly to make this alliance better!"

After Nash finished speaking, he extended his hand towards Su Hu friendly.

The two shook hands tightly and hugged with a smile.

But, of course, there are also surprises.

When Su Hu and Iverson faced each other, there seemed to be an invisible wall between the two, making the two seem to be separated.

Therefore, the two did not shake hands, that is, they greeted each other from a distance.

The game is about to begin.

The rules of the 9697 Rookie Tournament do not divide the first and second grades, but only divide the east and west, so Su Hu and Kobe are divided into the rookie group in the west.

Under the arrangement of the coach, Su Hu and Kobe both got the starting position.

Since Stephen Marbury and Samaki Walker were unable to play due to injuries, the Western Conference was somewhat stretched in terms of employment.

As we all know, the average level of the players in the rookie game can be said to be uneven.

The coach is not an idiot either, of course he will choose players who can play steadily in the team to play. As for those who have not even played a few games until now, the coach will not choose to let them start.

Therefore, the starting lineup of the western rookie team is also obvious.

Point guard, Steve Nash (Suns), 15th pick in the first round, shooting guard, Su Hu (Spurs), 27th pick in the first round, small forward, Kobe Bryant (Lakers), 16th pick in the first round, power forward, Shareef Abdul-Rahim (Grizzlies) was the 3rd pick in the first round, center Travis Knight (Lakers) was the 29th pick in the first round.

Subsequently, the starting lineup of the Eastern rookies also came out.

For the West, this starting lineup is obviously much better looking on paper.

Point guard Allen Iverson (76ers) 1st round, shooting guard Ray Allen (Bucks) 5th round, small forward Kerry "The Mosquito" Kittles (Nets) ) with the 8th pick in the first round, power forward Anthony Walker (Celtics) with the 6th pick in the first round, and center Marcus Camby (Knicks) with the 2nd pick in the first round.

Compared with the 15th and later picks in the West, the rookie lineup in the East has no more than 10 picks.

In this kind of game, even the official commentary before the game expressed his own opinion.

"For this game, it seems like a contest between the best students and the poorest students in the school. Obviously, the results of the eastern rookie team are obviously better on paper, haha."

"Then, do you have good grades or poor grades in school?"

"You know, how could my grades be good?"

"Haha."

And just under the ridicule of the two commentators, the rookie competition here can be regarded as the official prelude.

Before the game, the coach had already told his teammates about the game. Due to the shortage of personnel, he told them to be prepared for a long game.

The team members also agreed.

The midfielder jumped the ball, and not surprisingly, the Eastern team won the ball.

The basketball was passed directly to Iverson's hands, and the Eastern team also had a tacit understanding, and the entire team consciously pulled aside.

This move can be regarded as giving enough face to the No. [-] pick, which also makes Iverson very comfortable.

However, for Nash, the obvious pressure came to his side.

"Oh, pull everyone away, it seems that Allen will definitely choose singles, the pressure of this offense has obviously come to Steve's side!"

"It depends on how Steve will deal with it. You must know that Allen's ball-handling singles really has an advantage in strength!"

After the game started, the commentary also obviously entered the state.

"Be careful with his cross steps, just keep up with his footsteps, I will assist you by the side!" When Iverson was about to start, Su Hu reminded Nash from the side.

Sure enough, Iverson accelerated immediately afterwards, and the start was a quick change of direction.

Then Nash followed closely without losing his position.

Under the signal of Su Hu's eyes, the positions of Su Hu and Kobe also inadvertently moved closer to Iverson's direction.

In other words, no matter which side Iverson chooses to break through from, he will face the pincer attack from Su Hu and Kobe.

However, Iverson is really not in vain. During the breakthrough process, he immediately discovered the changes in Su Hu and Kobe.

Then, as soon as his mind turned, he simply didn't choose to break through Nash.

Instead, after a feint on the spot, he jumped up and shot!
Opening a direct hit, Iverson made a good start for the rookie game, feeling hot!

I have to say, this guy Iverson is really good, he just shoots directly in front of you!

East 2:0 West.

Afterwards, the western team started to attack, Nash took the ball, Su Hu and Kobe were on one side, and quickly formed an offensive position.

You know, the rookie game is different from other games. All the players almost play the game based on their own basketball understanding, basically without any tactics.

It's just that Su Hu and Kobe have a tacit understanding in school, and perhaps this point should be strengthened.

"Haha, Iverson's touch is hot. Now that I don't know how to choose our Philadelphia twins, I can't wait."

"Haha, maybe the 96 draft is really a happy and troublesome thing for the Philadelphians."

Under the explanation of the commentator, Nash directly handed over the basketball to Su Hu.

However, Su Hu didn't want this game to become a game between himself and Kobe, and then handed over the basketball to Nash again, and took the initiative to give Nash a pick-and-roll.

Nash didn't expect Su Hu to do this, but after the two people looked at each other, they also understood.

After Nash got the ball, he immediately broke through to the side of Su Hu's pick-and-roll.

Of course, Nash's speed is also very fast, and then directly passed Iverson and directly faced Ray Allen's supplementary defense.

Then, Kobe on the other side also had the upper hand in the off-ball confrontation with Kittles, and got to the offensive position first.

I have to say that "Mosquito" Kittles is good at three-pointers, but in terms of physical confrontation, he always seems to be a little worse.

This seems to be like his nickname, Mosquito.

To be honest, Kittles has slender limbs, but he is really skinny, and he still has a long, thin face.

Not only similar in spirit, but also in shape,,,

When Nash saw that Kobe had already appeared, he passed the ball directly with one hand, and found Kobe accurately!

Kobe received the ball, jumped up decisively, and was ready to shoot against the double defense of Walker and Kittles.

However, after Kobe took off, Su Hu here accelerated instantly.

Moreover, when Su Hu accelerated, Lei Allen did not expect it.

Now Su Hu seems to have improved again.

This speed can be said to be on par with Iverson.

Su Hu went straight to the basket!

But helplessly, Kobe didn't seem to have the intention of passing the ball, but shot directly,,

The basketball drew a beautiful trajectory in the air and entered the net hollowly.

Good guy, Kobe is really the more people there are, the more excited he is,,,

And Su Hu also had a chance here, but he just didn't pass you the ball.

"Hey hey, don't you see that my side is already open, why don't you pass the ball to me!" Even if Kobe scored a goal, Su Hu didn't want to say some compliments, so he just complained about Kobe on the spot.

And Kobe is very innocent,
"Brother, you don't know, the feeling I had at the time was really great!"

Looking at the smiling Kobe, Su Hu nodded directly, saying that you won, you scored a goal, and you are right in whatever you say.

Immediately, Su Hu also gave Nash a high five,

"Nice pass."

"Nice air cut, lol."

I have to say that the Western team has begun to have some good chemical reactions.

Subsequently, the Eastern team was once again led by Iverson, and finally Camby completed this offense at the basket.

Knight has tried his best to defend, but there is no way. Camby's strength advantage is still very prominent among rookies.

4: 2!

Afterwards, the two teams began to compete with each other in scoring during the game.

Moreover, I don't know if it was intentional by the coaches. The coaches of both sides have almost no intention of substituting players, and almost let these people sparks on the field.

You know, 96 was the big year of the draft, so the attention of this year's rookie game is much higher than in previous years, I don't know how much!
Therefore, the league also intentionally let the future stars in this group of leagues spread their charm on the court to their heart's content.

The West suffered a loss on the inside, but the outside line felt hot. Kobe scored, Su Hu scored, and Nash scored.

The strength of the East team here is very average, and the five players on the field all scored in the first quarter of the game.

Even the official suspension of the first quarter, the coach did not make any personnel adjustments.

The first quarter was over, Su Hu looked at the score.

32:32, great score!

"The first quarter is over, and the two teams are tied. To be honest, before the game, have you ever thought about such a result."

"Haha, of course I thought about it. Su Hu has become the starter of the Spurs, and Kobe and Steve have also obtained stable playing time in their respective teams, so I am not surprised by all this."

"No, you didn't seem to say that before the game?"

"Yes, then I think you must have heard wrong."

The two commentators were still joking.

At this time, on the bench of the West team, the coach was asking about the status of the players.

"Gentlemen, I know this is just an All-Star game, and you are all professional players. You can choose to give up this game. Of course, I will respect your opinions. So I would like to ask whether the starters have to rest, I will respect your opinion."

Unexpectedly, all the players did not mean to end.

The Eastern team seems to have the same idea and reaction.

Although it was a rookie match, the players of the two teams were obviously serious about it.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the atmosphere of the game was still tense.

The western team served, Su Hu didn't say a word, he came up directly against Ray Allen's defense, and opened his hand to make a three-pointer!
To score directly, you know, this is a rare way for Su Hu to score!

West team 35: East team 32, Su Hu directly started the rhythm of the second quarter.

Then, in the face of Su Hu's score, Ray Allen did not give in too much, and under Su Hu's defense, he successfully returned a 2-pointer.

The score was overtaken again.

35: 34.
The game still continued, Nash passed to Su Hu, and after Su Hu surpassed others, he handed it over to the insider Raheem. This Grizzlies guy is worthy of his pick and successfully singled out Walker.

37: 34!

I have to say, how important it was to have a reliable insider in the game at that time!
Subsequently, Iverson also started the singles mode in advance, and in the next 3 minutes, Iverson began to score points crazily!

And the changes in the game often start from this time!
Iverson has a high success rate, and he is very confident in his abilities.

Of course Kobe refused to accept, consciously or unconsciously, he always wanted to compete with Iverson.

But Su Hu, it seems that he doesn't want to give Kobe too many opportunities like this!
