Chapter 177 The Rookie Tournament Begins!
On February 2, the NBA All-Star Weekend officially started.
The fan carnival made the basketball fans have a great time. The wheelchair basketball game held on the first day was aimed at improving the social status and physical quality of the disabled.
The whole of New York has turned into a basketball town this weekend.
"Yes, I am very happy to participate in the All-Star game. This is something I really want to do. It is hard to imagine that it has come true so quickly."
"First time? Dude, there's a first time for everything, I'm just a little bit faster."
"What kind of pizza do I like to eat? It's nothing special, I like more meat"
"Where do you wash your face first in the shower? Oh man, why would you ask such a private question? I won't tell you I washed my face first"
For players participating in the All-Star Game, there will also be a separate interview session.
In a big room, each player has a table, and there will be many reporters around the table asking various questions.
There are a lot of reporters here in Xu Xuan, a huge area, only after James and Kobe, the number of people is even more than that of the cute god Curry.
The first start of the All-Star Weekend is the Masters.
This Xu Xuan didn't pay much attention, and he didn't go to the scene, because after the Masters, there was the Rookie Challenge.
"Hey, Director Zhang, have you seen Xu Xuan?"
With a press card hanging around Yu Jia's neck, she asked Zhang Lizhang, who was very distinctive, for guidance.
How could such a grand event in the basketball world be missing him?
"Wait, I'm still looking." Zhang Lili scratched his head, looking for Xu Xuan's figure with wide eyes.
This year's Rookie Challenge is too lively, right?
As the second course of the All-Star Weekend, strictly speaking, it's just a warm-up time, the entire Barclays Center is already full of players, and look at the sidelines, hell!Are these NBA stars too bored in the hotel?
LeBron James chatting with "Dragon King" Bosh wearing a baseball cap.
Wearing a shit-yellow suit, James Harden kept his eyes locked on the beautiful cheerleaders on the sidelines.
Kobe in casual clothes was chatting with Stone Buddha Duncan beside him, and the two seemed to be chatting happily.
Curry was eating popcorn, and while eating, he sent a handful to the mouth of his good friend Clay.
Melon big gold chain, a black jacket, revealing tattoos all over the body, looks like a big brother in society
Where is Xu Xuan?
Xu Xuan is warming up!
It's just that there are too many people on the field now. The staff, reporters, and players have basically filled this small field to the brim.
"When it comes to the All-Star Game every year, there is a sense of anticipation, especially this year!"
After Zhang Lili found Xu Xuan, he began to explain with a red face.
The fans who watched the live broadcast on the other side of the ocean were also deeply moved.
how many years?
This is the second time a Chinese figure stands on the NBA All-Star stage after Dayao!
Impressed!
After the warm-up, the head coach Kenny Atkinson called the players to his side and arranged some simple tactics.
The Rookie Challenge and even the All-Star Game don't have any specific tactics at all. After all, the All-Star Game is still an entertainment event in the final analysis, and the outcome of the game often doesn't seem that important.
Not that important?
real!of!!
Xu Xuan is going to kill him today!
After the tactics are determined, Xu Xuan, Wiggins, Mirotic, Antetokounmpo, and Gobert will start the rookie challenge international team tonight.
The starting lineup of the US team is Payton Jr., Oladipo, Pope, Noel, and Zeller.
"Director Zhang, which side do you think has a higher winning rate today?" Yu Jia asked curiously.
"It seems that the lineup of the World Team is more reasonable, so I am optimistic about the World Team!"
Zhang reasonable guidance said.
"But today Xu Xuan is the starting point guard, and Wiggins is playing at the second position. Tsk tsk, the lineup of the World Team is really high!"
Shooting guard Wiggins 203, small forward Mirotic 208, power forward Antetokounmpo 211, center Gobert 216
Hoohoo!
Just Xu Xuan is a 191 dwarf.
Nonsence!
You are short!
Your whole family is short!
During the jump ball, Cody Zeller looked desperately at the "Eiffel Tower" in front of him. After he took off vigorously, what he touched was not the ball, but Gobert's strong and sexy body.
"Pretty!"
Seeing that Gobert turned the ball back to the half court, Xu Xuan shouted excitedly.
What he admires most is a big center like Gobert, who feels particularly safe.
"Xu Xuan got the ball, the World Team's first attack, let's see how they plan to play."
The first attack must be aggressive.
Xu Xuan slowly took the ball across the half court, observing the positions of his teammates.
The opposing side defended very seriously, which strengthened Xu Xuan's previous thinking that this game must be won, and it must be won beautifully!
"Xu Xuan chose to split the ball"
"The first attack Xu Xuan looks very cautious"
After calling Gobert's pick-and-roll, Xu Xuan quickly moved laterally to the left, making a move.
"Don't give him a chance!"
From the perspective of everyone in the US team, it is very likely that Xu Xuan will play this ball by himself.
so.
"Oladipo came up sharply to defend. Oh, he was cheated. Xu Xuan didn't want to shoot, Xu Xuan chose to split the ball!"
Xu Xuan played the ball very fast!
"What a wonderful angle!"
An almost perfect ground pass to Antetokounmpo who came up from the weak side flew up!
Antetokounmpo rose instantly after receiving the ball!
bang!
The basketball was smashed into the basket by him!
2 to 0, the international team took the lead in scoring.
"Beautiful pass, man!"
Brother Antetokounmpo slapped Xu Xuan excitedly when he landed and returned to defense.
"Thank you, just remember to help me grab more rebounds later."
Xu Xuan is not comfortable playing with players like Antetokounmpo and Gobert, just like the ball just now, if he played like this in the Pacers, then this ball would definitely be a mistake.
"Damn it, it's so easy."
The U.S. team prepared to defend with [-] points from the very beginning, but it was unexpected that the first attack by the World Team was so easy.
"Team USA attack."
"What is little Payton going to do? Break through?"
"Oh! Noel's pick and roll is really good, Xu Xuan hit the wall"
The start was a pick-and-roll, but Payton obviously underestimated Gobert's defensive strength inside!
"Clap"!
"Hoho! The world team gave a hot pot hat at the beginning? The magical Eiffel Tower!"
Team USA wants to win, Team World doesn't want to lose either!
"It's rare to see a rookie game with such a tough start. How can this transition between offense and defense be more intense than the regular season!"
