Chapter 230 The Coach's Decision
The fans at the scene were not happy to see frequent back-up jumpers, spontaneous and neat shouts, and urged the players to increase dunks.
Zach LaVine is also a Komi. He knew Kobe Bryant came to watch the game. He couldn't hold back his inner desire to express himself. With his scud, he quickly passed Emmanuel Mudiay.
Towns wanted to create opportunities for teammate Zach LaVine. When he exited the baseline, he seemingly unintentionally but intentionally took Nerlens Noel out.
Zach LaVine is good at scoring, especially good at dunking.
The fans at the scene watched Zach LaVine's elegant and stretched dunk action, and they were shocked and extremely happy at the same time. They either shouted or danced to celebrate it.
Curry and Klay Thompson are equally excited, but they have different personalities and very different forms of expression.
Curry opened his mouth into an O shape, his upper body swayed slightly, and danced out of an uncoordinated dance, blending into the warm atmosphere around him.
Although Klay Thompson was equally excited, he looked calm and normal on the surface, and it was not at all obvious that he really wanted to get off the court for a 360-degree dunk.
Kobe paid attention to the shooting guards selected with the 13th overall pick, and had a deeper love for Zach LaVine. He felt that this guy had a Mamba spirit, and in some respects he was very similar to himself when he was young.
George didn't have that much flirtatiousness. Seeing the senior get up, he stood up wisely, applauded and cheered for Zach LaVine at the same time.
Xu Tian received the serve and passed a long pass to Jokic in the frontcourt.
Jokic has smart passing skills that don't match his tall frame.In short, in the body of the center lives the soul of the point guard, which is the exact opposite of the Kings' Rajon Rondo.
Xu Tian's off-ball running position is a must. Even a disciplined defensive team can hardly limit him, let alone these rookies on the field.
Jokic swung his wrist flexibly and directly distributed the ball to Xu Tian, who moved to the left.
Jabari Parker quickly defended in place and did not give an easy three-pointer a chance.
Xu Tian didn't look for opportunities to break through or confront. He kept the ball, flicked the ball with his left hand, and passed it back to Jokic who was running down.
Teacher Yue attracted Nerlens Noel's defense, passed the lob to the basket, and gave it to Porzingis who was stuck.
Towns is a talented No. [-] pick, but his defense is really soft. He tried his best and failed to block Porzingis' offense.
Porzingis turned to hook and won with dexterity.
Swish!
15-19!
The starting players of the United States United are all honest, they are the type who don't say a word for a long time, and they don't mean to provoke Xu Tian at all.
Xu Tian still had to participate in the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest. He was limited by the playing time of the head coach of the international team, so he didn't really try his best.
Zach LaVine dribbled the ball halfway, and was surprised to see the defender replaced by Xu Tian, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
Xu Tian waved his hand and said, "Come on, face to face!"
Zach LaVine understands that Xu Tian is hot now, so he will naturally not refuse the opportunity to perform, bend over to dribble, and look for Xu Tian's defensive flaws.
Xu Tian was also not idle, observing Zach LaVine's dribbling movements and predicting the possible movement of basketball in the future.
Zach LaVine didn't expect to be seen through the offensive choice, so he carelessly exposed the ball to Xu Tian and successfully created a turnover.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball into his hands, dribbled past Zach LaVine, who wanted to counter-rob, and rushed forward.
The fans at the scene expected Xu Tian to contribute the world's best dunks, and Xu Tian also satisfied the audience's wishes.
Jump with both feet and dunk with one hand!
17-19!
The coaching candidate for the Rookie Challenge is the chief assistant to the coach of the All-Star Game.The All-Star coach of the Western Conference is Steve Kerr, and assistant coach Luke Walton is coaching the rookie game. He decisively calls a timeout and replaces Xu Tian who still needs to play in the main game.
Nikola Mirotic got the chance to play, facing the loose defense of the American United, he scored 13 points alone in more than six minutes to help the International United overtake.
At the end of the first half, the international team led the American team 75-72.
The Warriors' chief assistant Luke Walton asked Xu Tian for his opinion during the intermission and confirmed that he still wanted to play, making Xu Tian the starter in the second half.
Clarkson only got more than 3 minutes of playing time in the first half, and only hit a mid-range shot, and the rest of the statistics were not recorded.He sat on the bench and watched the second half thoughtfully.
Luke Walton has followed Steve Kerr for a long time and is superstitious about the five small lineups. He did not start Jokic and Porzingis in the second half, but sent Xu Tian, Emmanuel Mudiay, Wiggins , Mario Hezonja and Nikola Mirotic lineup.
What Xu Tian is best at is pushing fast breaks and counterattacks. He successfully activated Mirotic, who has rich offensive methods, and continued to expand the point difference for the international team.
The chief assistant coach of the Cavaliers intends to help Zach LaVine compete for the MVP of the rookie game, let Towns and Zach LaVine play pick-and-rolls, and try to create easy shooting opportunities.
Towns and Zach LaVine are teammates of the Timberwolves. They have a good relationship in private and are happy to help.
Zach LaVine felt hot tonight. He used a cover to cover a small open space, jumped up directly, and shot the ball stretchedly.
Zach LaVine, who Wiggins is responsible for switching defenses and shooting, has a very low degree of seriousness, and his raised hand can only reach Zach LaVine's chest.
The basketball spins and goes straight through the center of the rim, touching only a small portion of the net.
89-82!
Zach LaVine made a three-point gesture with both hands and accepted the cheers of the fans.
Fans at the Air Canada Center, nothing less than always enthusiastic, rose from their seats to give Zach LaVine another ovation.
Curry is the strongest three-pointer in history. He is not interested in the three-pointer skill. He focuses on the No. 1 player and sees how the second player in the MVP list will respond.
Wiggins has excellent athletic ability, but he is not good at running without the ball and enthusiasm. He can't cooperate with Xu Tian at all, so he can only pull away from the bottom corner.
Emmanuel Mudiay's shooting ability is weak, and he is also unable to support Xu Tian, standing in the corner on the other side.
Nikola Mirotic and Mario Hezonia each stand at the corner, completely opening up the space on the court.
D'Angelo Russell defends against Xu Tian alone!
The fans at the scene didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and deliberately shouted MVP to stimulate D'Angelo Russell, who was serious about defending.
D'Angelo Russell remained calm on the surface, but his inner desire to win was high, and he exerted a strong physical confrontation, not wanting to give Xu Tian a chance to attack easily.
Luke Walton knew Xu Tian's personal ability, so he didn't panic at all, and sat firmly on the coach's bench to watch Xu Tian's singles.
Zach LaVine saw his teammate being knocked back one after another, he couldn't bear it, so he ran to help D'Angelo Russell double-team Xu Tian.
