    Kenyon Martin is in a very good mood, because he has already scored 13 points in the first half, and he is currently the highest scorer in the rookie team.

    Once today¡¯s game is won, according to NBA practice, the player with the highest score usually wins the MVP of the game.

    But he didn¡¯t notice that Wang Dalin, who everyone recognized as the ¡°most selfless¡± player had quietly scored 9 points in the first half, plus 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and even a block.

    ¡°The second half will definitely be tough, so let¡¯s use these points first, right?¡±

    In the locker room, Wang Dalin only hesitated a little before adding all 2,000 points awarded for completing tasks two and three to perimeter defense. His perimeter defense also quickly increased from 42 to 52.

    In his opinion, no matter what, he must win the game first, otherwise no matter how good his data is, he will not be able to win the MVP.

    ¡°To win this game, the rookie team must withstand the second-year team¡¯s crazy counterattack in the second half.

    Wang Dalin thinks the situation is not bad. After all, Elton Brand, the strongest among the second-year players, has withdrawn from this All-Star Weekend due to injury. If this guy is here, the rookie team may really be in trouble.

    As for the others, although they are very strong, it is still only their second season after all, and these future All-Stars have not yet had time to practice the ultimate move of continuous critical strikes.

    If it takes another two or three seasons, it will be hard to say. One Jason Terry alone is probably enough for the rookie team.

    In the history of the original time and space, this "Jet" broke out once on January 15, 2002, when the Hawks faced the Mavericks at home.  In that game, he made 15 of 23 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers, 13 of 17 free throws, and scored 46 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists.

    Although the Hawks still lost to the Mavericks 107:116 in that game, Terry's explosive performance still scared the young "veteran" into a cold sweat.

    I have to say one more thing, the Heat's current second-in-command, Tim Hardaway, had already joined the Mavericks that season.  In that game, he came on as a substitute for 25 minutes and scored 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. His performance was very good.

    Coach Cheeks did not dictate the rookie team¡¯s tactics in the second half. Anyway, this game was just a formality for him.  And he doesn't know anything other than defense. He already told the players what he should tell them during the joint training yesterday.

    Whether it¡¯s a rookie team or a second-year team, most of the players are playing together for the first time. Is it possible that they can still do something good on defense?

    Isn¡¯t it just one-on-one man-to-man defense?

    After the start of the second half, the second-year team really became serious. Not only did they stop letting loose on the defensive end, but Lamar Odom also frequently mentioned the high position to provide support during the offense.

    For a moment, the scene became very strange. The audience did not expect that both sides of this rookie match would use the same offensive tactics.

    It¡¯s not that the second-year team wants to learn the rookie team¡¯s style of play, but that their head coach Elston Turner is already quite good at this tactic.

    The essence of "Princeton's style of play" is "people moving, ball moving, and coordination", with special emphasis on inside players moving to high positions to provide support.

    Familiar fans know that the real offensive core of the Kings back then was not the point guard but the center.  Even though they had "White Chocolate" Jason Williams and "White Devil" Mike Bibby, the team's real leader in offense was center Verratti Divac.

    Lamar Odom was known as the "left-handed magician" when he first entered the league. At that time, he could be regarded as one of the best passing big men in the league, so he had no problem playing high-post support.

    "However, the players on the second-year team probably didn't expect that their lethargy in the first half would actually make the rookies on the rookie team feel more confident.

    Even though their defense has become more intense, the rookie team players still have a good offensive efficiency, especially Kenyon Martin, who in their eyes can almost be regarded as the "parallel import number one", frequently attacks the inside and causes damage.  .

    Wang Dalin was a little unhappy. He had "fed" Martin several times and was "eaten" by a foul?

    Since "feeding cake" to Martin doesn't work, then pass it to Miller. In the first half, Mike Miller made 2 of 4 three-pointers, and his hand was feeling hot.

    ?Compared to guys like Martin who can't attack outside the three-second zone, Wang Dalin naturally prefers to pass the ball to people with "range", such as Mike Miller and Maurice Peterson.

    The second-year team is no longer letting loose. Isn¡¯t it just asking for trouble by forcing the inside line?  Really when Marion and Odom are under the basket???Function?

    On the offensive end, the rookie team still maintained their firepower. When defending, they actively shrank their formation and mainly defended the opponent's inside attack.  As for outside shooting, if you can defend it, defend it. If you can't, just let him shoot!

    I have to say that the second-year team¡¯s three-pointers are really unreliable

    "Bearded" Davis has not yet developed his three-point shooting ability during this period. He averaged only 1.4 three-pointers per game, and he could only hit 0.3 of them, with a shooting percentage of only 22.5%.

    "Hacker" Marion's three-point shooting percentage this season is 18.2%, and he only averages 0.4 shots per game. He needs to be productive but not productive, and he needs to be accurate but not accurate.

    This season, Jason Terry¡¯s three-point shooting percentage is 29.3%, while Andre Miller¡¯s is only 20.4%.

    Even Quentin Richardson, who is known for his three-point shooting ability in his career, only shot 33.1% from three-point range this season.

    The three-point shooting percentages of Odom, Szczerbiak and Hamilton are not low this season, 36%, 35.9% and 36.4% respectively, but their average number of three-pointers per game is very small.  They really didn't dare to play such a rough game when they opened up their shots.

    All in all, in this era, NBA teams don't pay much attention to three-pointers. The coaching staff of each team generally believes that three-pointers should be shot by the "three-point experts" in the team.

    Yes, there is still the concept of "three-point expert" in this era.

    For example, Quentin Richardson and Wally Szczerbiak, these two guys later became well-known "three-point experts" in the league, but unfortunately they are not yet.

    The second-year team also imitated the rookie team and began to shrink its defensive formation, but they found that the rookie team's three-pointer seemed a bit accurate, right?

    Mike Miller is averaging 4.4 three-pointers per game this season with the Magic, and his shooting percentage is as high as 40.7%.

    There are also Morris Peterson, whose three-point shooting percentage has increased to 38.2%, and Wang Dalin, whose three-point shooting percentage has increased to 35.8%.

    Even Eddie House, whose long-range shooting ability is "slightly stretched" this season, has a three-point shooting rate of 34.5%.

    And as Wang Dalin scored in double figures and blocked his second shot of the game, he received another 2,000 points reward.

    This time he increased his perimeter defense to 60 and defensive rebounds to 67.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
