Chapter 201 Comprehensive Suppression of the Second Grade Team
Chapter 201 Completely Suppressing the Second-Year Team
"I think those guys on the first-year team are playing for real, and we should also be serious."
After returning to the bench, Ginobili said to the other players in the second grade.
"Manu is right. The first-year defense is not like playing a rookie game, but more like playing a regular season. We can't relax. We have to suppress the first-year limelight." Stoudemire echoed.
If he wants to win the rookie game MVP, he must lead the team to win.
But in the current situation, he was a little flustered. After all, he had boasted before and couldn't be slapped in the face.
The other second-year players nodded after hearing this, but their desire to win was not high.
Dayao will participate in the All-Star Game tomorrow, and he will definitely not devote all his energy to the rookie game, he will not play for too long.
"Little Prince" Prince is here to enjoy the holiday, and he has to save enough energy to follow the team to the playoffs after the All-Star Game, and he will not use his full strength.
That is, Stoudemire and Jay Williams want to win, but they have their own ghosts, and they can't agree at all.
The second-year team coach Lawrence Frank, who was standing aside, understood what was going on after hearing the players' conversations.
While the Rookie Challenge amounts to an exhibition game, it shouldn't be.
The players who co-authored the first-year team did not play their cards according to the routine, and went all out as soon as they came up.
But he was a little unconvinced, thinking that the first-year team players might be too excited to get carried away, and then enter the entertainment mode.
So, Frank clapped his hands, interrupted the conversation of the players, and said: "Guys, you are thinking too much, the first-year brats may be too nervous and not completely let go, as long as you relax the rhythm of the game , Let them also enter the rhythm of the performance."
After listening to the words of the head coach, the players of the second-year team were thoughtful.
Are we really thinking too much?
"Okay guys, enjoy your game." After Frank finished speaking, he made substitution adjustments.
The timeout ended, and the second-year team replaced Dayao and Prince with Dunleavy and Nene.
In the All-Star Game, substitutions and adjustments are very frequent. After all, it is an exhibition game, and every player must be given a chance to perform.
In the first grade, Anthony and Bosh were replaced by Hinrich and Haslem.
After the game started, the second grade team finally scored in the sports game.
After Stoudemire screened for Ginobili, he cut to the basket, received a pass from Ginobili, and staged a slam dunk.
This time, the first-year defense was not so fierce. After all, it was a rookie game, so they couldn't overdo it.
After landing, Stoudemire made a celebratory gesture towards the bottom line photographer's lens.
While Stoudemire was still celebrating a dunk, the first-year team quickly served the baseline and went on a fast break.
Wade received the ball near the center line, dribbled across the center line, and immediately passed the ball forward.
Li Xuan, who ran near the free throw line, received the pass and immediately took three steps.
Nene, who was chasing after him, wanted to interfere closely, but was ruthlessly squeezed away by Li Xuan. He could only watch Li Xuan complete the dunk.
"Fuck! There are two perverts in the first grade, and they even spanked, so I'll present the award directly!"
After the goal, Li Xuan pointed in Wade's direction to express his gratitude.
"Hahaha, Xiao Li and Wade have a perfect understanding. They are indeed teammates who came out of Marquette University together." Director Zhang praised with a smile.
Looking back, the sophomore team was on offense.
Stoudemire wanted to hit the basket again, but was intercepted by Li Xuan. In desperation, he passed the ball to Nene, who was unguarded.
After receiving the ball, Nene made a mid-range jumper.
Bang bang!Fight with anger!
As a typical beast forward, Nene has never had anything to do with technical things like jump shots.
Under the basket, Li Xuan and Stoudemire Stoudemire scrambled for the rebound. Taking advantage of the bullet speed, they first touched the basketball and dialed it out.
James near the free throw line grabs the basketball and dribbles it upfield.
After coming to the three-point line, he looked at Dunleavy who was defending himself in front of him.
"This guy is so thin and weak, it's like giving himself points."
Dunleavy was terrified by James' eyes.
"This brat doesn't think he's easy to bully, does he?"
But when he saw that James' arms were as thick as his thighs, Dunleavy immediately relented. He was going to put on a show. Anyway, it was an entertainment game, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Just when James was about to use his body to break through directly, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, and passed the ball by a strange coincidence.
Li Xuan, who just ran beyond the three-point line, saw something flying towards him, and subconsciously made a motion to catch the ball. After receiving the ball, he immediately pulled it up, looked at the basket, and threw the basketball in his hand. go out.
Xiao Si who just arrived at this time shook his head helplessly.
"This guy's shot speed is too fast, he shoots the ball immediately, doesn't even make adjustments, and doesn't give defensive players a chance to interfere."
Swish!Hollow into the net!
16: 4!
"The score is further stretched. If the second-year players don't exert their strength, they will lose miserably!" Director Zhang analyzed reasonably.
The second-year team attacked, Stoudemire played Haslem in the low post, showed off his inside footsteps, turned around and came to the basket, and staged a double-handed dunk.
This time, Haslem's defense against Stoudemire can be said to be useless, and Li Xuan did not retreat to the basket to help defend.
After landing, Stoudemire had a bright smile on his face.
Sure enough, as the head coach expected, the group of little devils relaxed and adapted to the rhythm of the entertainment game.
In the next round, Hinrich passed the ball to Li Xuan who was outside the three-point line on the right.
Since it was an exhibition match, Nene did not defend himself personally, but just put on a show.
Li Xuan did not shoot directly after receiving the ball, but made a three-threat move with the ball and took a tentative step.
"Hey! Xiao Li is starting to show off, I don't know if he can make a breakthrough." Director Zhang explained with a smile.
Li Xuan suddenly started, dribbled the ball and broke through to one side. Seeing that Nei Nei moved laterally to block, he immediately changed direction and broke through to the other side.
Although the breakthrough was not smooth enough, it still pleased the fans and won applause.
They know Li Xuan's level of ball control, and it's not bad to be able to do this.
After passing Nene, Li Xuan broke through to the basket and saw Stoudemire retreating to the basket to help defend.
"Fuck! This guy has no eyesight at all. He deserves not to be an All-Star."
Li Xuan didn't make a strong attack, but threw the ball to the middle very smartly.
Wade, who cut inside the middle, soared into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
After the goal, Wade and Li Xuan had a passionate shoulder bump to celebrate, and then retreated away.
Looking back, Ginobili soared into a three-pointer to catch up with the score.
Immediately afterwards, James broke through to the basket in a tank style and staged a slam dunk with both hands.
In this way, the rookie game began to become an exhibition game.
The two teams have almost no defense, and the offense is very gorgeous.
Alley oops, extravagant bells and whistles, folding levers, passing the ball without looking at people, super long three-pointers have everything you need.
Because the game was played gorgeously and smoothly, the fans at the scene were hooked and did not pay attention to the changes in the score.
It wasn't until the end of the first half that they discovered that the first-year team had been leading and unknowingly opened the point difference to 15 points.
At this time, the score displayed on the big screen at the scene was 80 to 65, and the first-year team entered the second half with a 15-point lead.
During the halftime break, in the on-site commentary booth, TNT TV commentator Kenny Smith, Barkley and Cole were discussing the game intensely.
"The first half of the game was really exciting! It turned into a slam dunk contest. Unknowingly, the first-year team led by 15 points. It seems that they caused a lot of trouble for the second-year team. I watched it in the second half."
"It is true. I think the second-year team will definitely make efforts to overtake the score in the second half. They don't want to lose the game. This is another typical reversal."
"Kenny, I don't agree with your point of view. It can be seen from the first half of the game that the cooperation of the first-year team is obviously more tacit. They should be prepared. In the second half, they will definitely do their best to resist the counterattack of the second-year team. .”
Barkley pushed back against Kenny Smith's argument that the first-year team would hold the score to the end.
Cole interjected at the right time, acting as a peacemaker.
"The second half of the game is about to start, you two should stop arguing, and you will know the answer in a short time."
Barkley and Kenny Smith, the gold-medal duo, stopped arguing, and the drama was over. The curiosity of the fans was aroused, and the ratings rose gradually.
A short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.
Neither side has made personnel adjustments, and it is still the previous starting lineup.
The second half begins, and the first-year team has the ball.
Wade controlled the ball to the top of the arc, and it was obvious that the second-year team had strengthened their defensive strength, and it was no longer as loose as before.
Li Xuan quickly stepped forward and made an off-ball screen for Wade.
With the help of a screen, Wade swished into the three-point line and broke through to the basket.
Dayao, who was near the penalty area, cheered up and prepared to interfere.
The corner of Wade's mouth raised while he was on the move, and he smashed the ball to the backboard.
"Yao, don't bother, lest it be used as a background board."
Dayao turned his head to look, and gave up the idea of supplementing the defense.
"Did these two guys agree a long time ago? They're trying to embarrass me!"
Li Xuan, who rushed into the penalty area, soared into the air, grabbed the rebounding basketball, and dunked into the basket with one hand.
82: 65!
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.
"Good shot! Xiao Li and the others really know how to play, and they probably haven't seriously played the game yet." Director Zhang commented.
The possession of the ball is switched, and the second-year team attacks.
In order to chase points, they began to play with all their strength, no matter whether the offense was flashy or not, as long as they could score.
During the intermission, the second-year team formulated tactics, taking advantage of Dayao's presence, to specifically target the first-year team's weak inside attack.
After Dayao leaned against Bosh in the low position on the right, he reached out for the ball.
Although Jay Williams was unwilling, he still passed the ball obediently.
He didn't want to be sidelined by the other players in his second year.
Not long after Dayao received the ball, Li Xuan ran up to double-team him, not at all ambiguous.
"Hey, the double-team is here. It seems that the game is going to be played seriously, and it's getting more and more interesting." Director Zhang expressed his opinion.
Dayao's vision was blocked and he couldn't see Stoudemire's position. If he had a tacit understanding with Stoudemire, he should throw the ball to the basket and then ignore his business.
But they didn't have a tacit understanding at all, they could only pass the ball to the outside.
At this moment, the "Flash", who was waiting for an opportunity, quickly started, and suddenly rushed in front of Ginobili, intercepting the ball.
After a successful steal, Wade quickly ran towards the frontcourt, and rushed to the basket with a flat hand, completing a double-handed dunk.
"Hahaha, I said that it would be very difficult for the second-year team to chase points, and this has come true." Barkley glanced at Kenny Smith triumphantly, and laughed unscrupulously.
Kenny Smith looked at Barkley's face, feeling very depressed.
This plot shouldn't develop like this!
It must be that the second-year team hasn't exerted its strength yet, and it won't be long before they can catch up with the score.
The game continued, the second-year offense, this time they played a pick-and-roll cooperation.
Jay Williams drove toward the paint off the screen and passed the ball back to Yao.
Dayao, who was near the free throw line, received the pass, ignored Wade's interference, and hit a mid-range jumper.
84: 67!
Looking back, Anthony made a mid-range jumper and missed.
Dayao grabbed the rebound and passed it to Jay Williams to advance.
The second-year team has a big center and does not play fast break.
After Dayao settled in the penalty area, he began to attack.
This time Stoudemire ran up to play the pick-and-roll.
If he wants to win the MVP, he has to perform well, otherwise he won't get it even if he wins.
After the pick-and-roll is ready, Jay Williams drives to the basket.
Wade chased around the screen in advance, and did not choose to switch defenses.
Seeing that no one was defending in front of him, Jay Williams became active and prepared to end the offense by himself.
So, he immediately stopped and jumped, and threw the basketball in his hand.
At this moment, Li Xuan who came to delay immediately took off and stretched out his arms to interfere.
Clap!
Li Xuan completed the block from behind Jay Williams and shot the ball out.
James, near the high position on the right, saw the basketball flying towards him, and immediately took off to grab the basketball.
After landing, he saw Wade running quickly towards the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball.
Wade pushed forward with the ball. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ginobili chasing him. It was difficult to score a goal, so he could only wait for his teammates to follow up.
After Li Xuan finished blocking the shot, he quickly ran towards the frontcourt, and Stoudemire, who was defending him, didn't even see a ghost.
This can't be blamed on Stoudemire, he rushed to the basket to grab a rebound, but he didn't expect to be blocked, he didn't even have a rebound, and he wanted to turn around and chase but he couldn't see Li Xuan.
Wade threw the ball behind him on the move, and he believed that his teammates must follow.
The ball was passed suddenly, Ginobili was not ready to intercept, and watched the basketball fly over his head.
Li Xuan, who followed up, quickly changed direction, staggered to receive the pass, and complained in his heart.
"Dwyane is too irresponsible. How can he pass the ball like this. Whoever makes a mistake is to blame."
Li Xuan received the pass, adjusted, immediately pulled up, and shot a three-pointer.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
87: 67!
On the sidelines, the head coach of the second-year team, Lawrence Frank, frowned and immediately requested a timeout.
He didn't expect that the second-year team, who went all out, could not beat the rookies of the first-year team.
"I thought it was a job to lie down and win, but I didn't expect it to be so tricky."
If the second-year team loses the game by a big score, it will definitely affect his assistant coaching career, and he thinks his coaching ability is not good.
Frank is a little anxious now, he is no longer calm, and is ready to formulate offensive and defensive tactics.
