Just as they were lamenting their good luck and were about to get a decent rookie, the battle between Lu Yi and Ingram began again.
The two were of similar height, and there was no difference in talent for the time being. However, in terms of efficiency, Lu Yi had clearly pulled apart from the beginning. Now, after he scored 11 points in a row, the hundreds of spectators on the sidelines were eager to see how the second-place pick of this summer's draft would respond.
They still hoped that Ingram would be able to perform well after sending off two ironclad players.
No matter how bad a runner-up was, he shouldn't lose to a nameless rookie, right?
As they thought about it, Ingram seemed to have gone along with their thoughts and reached out for the ball again.
When he held the ball and faced Lu Yi at the horn position, he felt angry and wanted to vent it.
"Bang bang bang!"
The basketball was moving back and forth between his legs. He lowered his center of gravity and prepared to start.
Lu Yi did not dare to be careless. Under the mission requirements of the system, he could not give the other party any more data. One person wanted to attack, and the other wanted to defend. The matchup between the two attracted the attention of all the spectators on the sidelines, and the coaches of both sides had to observe with all their heart.
The battle between the two rookies had become the focus of the entire stadium. It was like a battle between supergiants in an official NBA game.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ingram moved. His feet were as fast as thunder, and he rushed into the inner lane from Lu Yi's left like the wind. Lu Yi had been extremely vigilant before. When he activated it, his entire body seemed to have exploded. He moved at the sound of the wind and followed closely behind like a shadow.
The two of them stepped on the hot wheels and reached the free-throw line in an instant. At this moment, Ingram suddenly stopped. Seeing that he was about to shoot, Lu Yi was alarmed and stopped as well.
However, the moment he stopped, Ingram's center of gravity suddenly dropped again. He lowered his body and took a step forward, directly attacking the frame.
It was actually a feint…
Lu Yi realized that something was wrong and quickly reacted. He immediately turned around and faced the back of the other party. He jumped into the air and when the latter made a layup, his right hand ruthlessly slapped the basketball.
"Pa!"
Ingram probably did not expect him to have such a quick reaction. His shot was a little slow, and the basketball was actually firmly hit and flew into the hands of the opponent's No. 15 center.
The center forward passed the ball to Lu Yi without any pause. His passing reaction was completely natural, as if he had suddenly found the core of the family. He gave it to Lu Yi immediately without any hesitation or hesitation.
However, Lu Yi did not quickly counterattack. Instead, he dribbled the ball forward and jogged out. After he broke away from the defensive encirclement inside, he suddenly threw the ball into the air. The basketball drew an arc and flew toward Team No. 12, who was already running wildly in the front field.
"Swoosh!"
No. 12 received the ball and made a layup.
"Beautiful!"
"Wow, what an unexpected choice!”
The Knicks 'coaching staff stood up and exclaimed in admiration. Two or three pairs of eyes looked at Lu Yi with a look of surprise.
The rookie in their eyes had become a representative of both offense and defense. What was even more gratifying was that the kid did not blindly attack by himself. He actually chose to share the ball. This was what they wanted to see the most.
It was not a big deal for a player to just score points. There were many experts in the league who could cut points, but if this person could also share the ball, then it was different. He was likely to have an all-rounded ability, not a pure scorer.
Rebounds, blocked shots, assists, and the 11 points he scored in a row. In just three minutes of playing time, Lu Yi had all these statistics. This kind of efficiency was enough to surprise people even in the low-intensity summer league, and they had greater expectations for him.
Ingram's mood was complicated. His attacks were constantly blocked, but his opponent's continuous attacks were effective, and he made a quick counterattack. Compared to this, he looked bleak.
He was the one who had been ranked second in the Summer Consecutive Tournament, yet he had been beaten up by a nameless kid. He found it hard to accept.
Who was this guy?
What was he doing in the past?
Why had he never heard of it?
When he failed to attack again, Lu Yi quickly pushed forward to counterattack. Under the basket, he shook his own player in the air and made a layup. His mind was filled with countless questions.
It wasn't just him. Even the Laker assistant coach, Brian Shaw, looked at Lu Yi with surprise.
It was as if he had caught his prey and was extremely interested in the Knicks No. 1 on the field.
In the summer league, there were countless players who performed well. There would be one such player in every game. However, what Lu Yi displayed was very attractive.
Last season, their team's top player, Kobe, retired. The Los Angeles team was in desperate need of rookies, especially rookies with potential. And the number one Knicks player, he thought, had shown great potential.
Talent and offensive awareness aside, the opponent had been outstanding in his attacks, especially that three-pointer. He looked very confident. However, this did not prove anything. After all, there were many strong shooters in the Alliance.
What he valued more was Lu Yi's talent and offensive awareness.
Brian Shaw seemed to see a little shadow of someone in Lu Yi.
Especially after his team finally scored, Lu Yi held the ball and attacked the basket in the front court. He made a series of feints and shook off Ingram, who was defending seriously. He rushed into the basket as if no one was there. He carried his own paint and dunked successfully. When he scored another two points, his eyes were like a navigator, fixed on the opponent and shining.
It really did look a little similar!
The more flowers, the better. My results are a little bad. I hope everyone can give me some confidence. Also, there are only a few brothers in the comments section. I don't even know if I wrote anything wrong. I hope you can correct me!）
(In other words, let me see your existence!）
