The Godfather of Basketball

The head coach of this year's rookie game is the first assistant coach of the Eastern and Western head coaches. The US team is Tyronn Lue of the Cavaliers, while the world team is Luke Walton of the Warriors.

Tang Tian and Hathaway appeared on the sidelines, and Hathaway held the excited little Tang Hao in her arms.

Compared with the All-Star Game, the rookie game is relatively weaker in performance because they are all first- and second-year players, but they will be more confrontational and play more realistically.

The game is about to start, and the starters of the two teams have played one after another.

For the U.S. team, the outside line is a combination of Clarkson and Smart, the front line is LaVine and Jabari Parker, and the center Towns.

For the world team, Mudiay and Hezonia are on the outside, Wiggins and Porzingis are on the front line, and Jokic is the center.

Towns beat Jokic by jumping, and the US team got the first chance to attack.

Clarkson organized from outside the three-point line, Smart came out with the cover, received the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Smart is known for his solid defense. Shooting is not his forte, but after the shot, the ball spun into the pocket and went straight in!

This is a very good start.

Mudiay dribbles across half court and passes the ball to Jokic.

Although there is no coaching arrangement for the rookie game, they basically take the ball based on their ability. Jokic was selected for the main game, and others would naturally give him the ball, and his way of playing is indeed based on organization. good at.

Jokic held the ball in the circle and saw that Towns was a little away from him, so he shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Downs raised his hand symbolically.

"Shua!"

Jokic's three-pointer went up and down.

The two teams each scored a three-pointer when they came up, and both teams felt very good.

The US team attacked the frontcourt, Towns received a pass from Parker and scored a dunk under the basket.

Turning back to the frontcourt, Jokic received the ball one meter away from the three-point line. Seeing that Towns was blocked by Porzingis, he shot again.

There was a commotion at the scene, but that was Curry's exclusive distance.

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard, and it could be felt that Jokic deliberately increased his strength.

After the ball rebounded, it still went into the basket!

Jokic's second three-pointer scored!

There were whistles at the scene.

The big center hits a three-pointer from this position, and Jokic has a strong desire to perform this time!

Looking back, Towns also fired from the outside, trying to return one, but unfortunately he was a little bit off, knocked on the edge of the basket, and the rebound was accepted by Porzingis.

Mudiay went to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Jokic, and Jokic made a three-pointer.

Downs flew straight out.

Although it's an exhibition game, the defensive intensity is not high, but no one wants to be the one who gets blown up, let alone Towns is the No. 1 pick.

However, Jokic has played for a year and is obviously more experienced. This time, he saw Downs pounced out, directly collected the ball and dribbled to the sideline, and after passing Downs, he accelerated to the basket.

The US team didn't go all out to defend, and Parker at the basket gave way when he saw Jokic rushing up.

"Boom!"

Jokic dunked with both hands and scored 8 points in a row!

The whistles on the scene kept ringing. As one of the representatives of the new generation of players, Jokic's comprehensive skills are really attractive.

Towns broke through the basket with the ball and missed, but grabbed the offensive rebound and scored with a hook.

The scoring efficiency of both sides is very high.

Mudiay dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Jokic saw that Towns was sticking tighter, and instead of standing on the three-point line, he took the initiative to fall to the free throw line.

Mudiay and Porzingis hit the pick-and-roll and rushed to the basket. Seeing that Hezonia had a chance to score directly from the outside, Hezonia made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The ball was a bit off, but Jokic had a keen sense of smell and rushed to grab the offensive rebound before Towns.

Towns came back to fill his position, and he became a little serious.

Jokic didn't mean to attack by force. He turned his head and raised his hand to send the ball.

Wiggins cut in the middle, received a pass from Jokic, and jumped directly to dunk with one hand.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene, and the offense of the World Team was better than the other.

The US team attacked, and Smart caught the ball from the outside and made a three-pointer.

"Boom!"

The attribute of Sima cylinder is triggered, and he is a good player.

Mudiay jumped up to receive the long defensive rebound and directly pushed the fast break.

Jokic accelerated to follow up on the right.

Two-on-one up front.

After attracting Smart's defense, Mudiay passed the ball directly to Jokic. Jokic dribbled the ball and was able to go directly, but after seeing Smart's fast defense, he directly passed the ball to the front of the basket throw.

"boom!"

The ball hits the rim and bounces straight back.

No matter the strength, angle, temperature, or humidity are just right.

Mudiay jumped lightly, catching the ball in the air and dunking directly.

The scene exploded instantly.

Hitting the board, assisting with lobs and dunks, this is a real show!

And it was a pass from a center forward!

Jokic deserves to be the best Serbian player for handwork!

Tang Tian also laughed from the sidelines.

Just now, Smart didn't retreat in place on the ball, and it is impossible to defend desperately in this kind of exhibition game. Jokic will definitely score if he wants to go up, but he made such a choice in the end.

Although he looks quiet and introverted on the surface, he is still a flamboyant player in his heart.

LaVine caught the ball in an air cut and hit the basket, performing a beautiful folding dunk.

As last year's slam dunk champion, LaVine aims to defend his title this year. This is a rookie game to warm up for tomorrow's slam dunk contest.

Looking back, Jokic received the ball in the middle and was pressed by Towns. He suddenly took the ball with his right hand and made a pass behind his back, and passed the ball directly to the left corner. The ball is released directly.

"Shua!"

The hand rises and the knife falls.

Porzingis also scored a three-pointer!

The cheers at the scene rang out incessantly.

Jokic scored 8 points in the opening game and sent 3 assists in a row. This has really become his personal performance show!

This kind of show-stopping operation keeps the fans climaxing constantly, and it is not a small blow to the morale of the US team.

They had already lost last year, and this year it was even worse, directly becoming the backdrop for their opponent's performance.

But this is the meaning of the All-Star Game. If you don't mind the difference between not defending at all and real swords and guns, what you watch is a flash of inspiration.

In the end, it was the world team that came out on top and defeated the US team 147-142, winning two consecutive victories in the rookie game.

For the US team, LaVine showed seven or eight wonderful dunks and scored a game-high 30 points, but in the end it became an empty cut. The substitute Booker scored 6 three-pointers and scored the second highest 25 points.

On the World Team side, Mudiay also scored a tie-high 30 points, Wiggins and Porzingis each scored 26 points, and Jokic contributed another triple-double after last year.

The difference is that this year's contribution is a large triple-double, 25 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, which is much more eye-catching than last year.
