Chapter 231 The desire to win
Xu Tian is a tall man with a wide field of vision. He immediately found the position at the top of the arc. Mirotic with beards took advantage of the situation and passed the ball.
Mirotic is a power forward in name, but he has a variety of offensive methods, and his three-point shooting percentage is quite impressive. He is not afraid, and facing Zach LaVine, who is coming back from the defense, he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.
Answer Ball!
92-82!
Derrick Rose of the Bulls was not selected for the All-Star due to a knee injury some time ago. He is currently watching the All-Star Rookie Challenge at his home in Chicago.
Zach LaVine was still a little thin and unable to attack Xu Tian head-on, so he had to use Downs' cover to break through Wiggins' defense.
"Damn it!" Ross muttered under his breath.
Ross' girlfriend was in the kitchen preparing supper when he heard his complaints and asked, "What are you talking about, honey?"
"Xu is too strong. There is a big gap between the rookies and him."
"Xu from the Lakers?"
"Who else is there besides him?"
"I think you are stronger than him!"
After hearing what his girlfriend said, Rose felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He barely suppressed his excitement and said, "After the All-Star Game, we will have a game against the Lakers. I will beat him no matter what!"
"I believe in you!" Rose's girlfriend brought out an exquisite fruit salad, and looked at "Wind City Rose" Derek Rose who was sitting on the sofa with love in her eyes.
At the Air Canada Center Arena, the Rookie Challenge is still in full swing.
Luke Wharton called a timeout just now and wanted to replace Xu Tian who had been playing for a long time, but Xu Tian refused his request.
Xu Tian has maintained physical training since the beginning of the season, and his physical problems have been greatly alleviated. With this basically non-confrontational defensive strength, he can play the entire game.
Luke Walton is a former Lakers player and has been teammates with Kobe for many years. He originally wanted to protect Xu Tian, but since Xu Tian insisted, he would naturally not refuse.After all, the opportunity to coach Xu Tian does not come every day.
Zach LaVine feels hot and has scored 18 points, 13 rebounds and 30 assist on 3 of 1 shots. He has performed exceptionally well.But the U.S. United team is behind, and it is very likely that it will affect his winning the MVP of this game.
Cavaliers chief assistant Larry Drew usually doesn't have many opportunities to coach. At this moment, it is rare to coach so many talented young people. He naturally wants to strive for victory.
Zach LaVine is the most promising player of the American United team to win the MVP. He naturally stayed on the court and led the team with Timberwolves teammate Towns.
The International United team gave up the attempt of five minors or one major and four minors, and switched back to the starting lineup, using a lineup of Twin Towers, Wiggins, Emmanuel Mudiay and Xu Tian against the American United team.
With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the international team led the US team by 115 points with a score of 111-4.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball across the half, and took advantage of the trend to score Jokic at the free throw line.
Jokic confronts Nerlens Noel with his body, protecting the ball with both hands, looking for teammates who have opportunities.
The United States United's defensive focus is on Xu Tian, and the defense against Wiggins and Emmanuel Mudiay is very loose, giving them a lot of shooting space.
Jokic didn't trust Emmanuel Mudiay's shooting ability very much, and the left hand gave the ball to Wiggins at the left corner.
Wiggins temporarily left the friendship of the Timberwolves teammates, and Zach LaVine, who came back to defend with a shot fake, dribbled the ball and broke into the three-point line.
Nerlens Noel is based in the league on defense, taking the initiative to take over the dirty work, and wants to block Wiggins, who started quickly.
Wiggins has one thing that is very special, that is, he tends to stay strong when he is empty, and chooses a layup or a light dunk to finish, but once someone is defending the penalty area, he will want to dunk.
Nerlens Noel's defense successfully ignited the soul of the beast hidden in Wiggins.
Wiggins took a reasonable step outside the collision zone, received the ball and took off vigorously, and directly sent a ruthless dunk through the defensive Nerlens Noel.
Nerlens Noel's push was caught right away. Not only did he fail to prevent Wiggins' attack, he also received a personal foul.
Before getting to the free throw line, Wiggins laughed for the camera.The face value that ordinary people can't appreciate is paired with patchwork yellow teeth, which instantly transforms into a warm and innocent smile.
Xu Tian couldn't look directly at such a dazzling Wiggins. After high-fiving him, he went back to the three-point line to watch him make free throws.
Netizens of good deeds slowed down Wiggins's smile, made it into a dynamic picture, and spread it to major fan forums.
Wiggins' penalty was without alcohol!
118-111!
Zach LaVine didn't dare to push the ball any further, and passed the ball to D'Angelo Russell, allowing the dull No. [-] to organize the offense.
D'Angelo Russell's greatest talent is his sense of the ball, and he also has a high IQ. He dribbled the ball to avoid Xu Tian's defense, and faced Emmanuel Mudiay, trying to find a breakthrough.
Emmanuel Mudiay currently makes 8 of 1 shots, and his offensive performance is really poor. He can only hope on the defensive end, trying to prevent D'Angelo Russell and regain some lost face.
D'Angelo Russell is not particularly fast, nor does he jump particularly high. He was selected for the second place entirely because Jim Buss saw the shadow of Stephen Curry in him.
Nerlens Noel mentioned the top screen to help D'Angelo Russell block Emmanuel Mudiay, creating a not-so-relaxed offensive space.
D'Angelo Russell relaxed, took off on the spot, and shot a three-pointer with graceful posture.
Jokic turned around to hold Towns, cleared the penalty area, and created an opportunity for Porzingis to easily pick off the board.
Porzingis saw the ball was about to slip out of the basket, a little impatient, and grabbed the ball directly from above the basket.
The referee whistles!
Goal tending!
D'Angelo Russell makes a three-pointer!
118-114!
Zach LaVine ran up to D'Angelo Russell and gave him a high five.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball across the half court, moved the top of the arc horizontally, and observed the movement of his teammates.
Both Jokic and Porzingis have a certain range, standing on both sides of the waist, pulling Towns and Nerlens Noel's defense out, thus clearing the penalty area.
Xu Tian made a big change of direction in front of his body, relying on his explosive force to start forcibly, and directly threw away D'Angelo Russell who was in charge of defense.
Towns, Nerlens Noel, and Jabari Parker shrank at the same time, blocking Xu Tian's breakthrough route.
Xu Tian was not a reckless man. He stopped the car ahead of time and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand.
Jokic and Porzingis have never cooperated with Xu Tian, but with the tacit understanding throughout the game, they still know that Xu Tian’s high toss is a pass, the two take off, get the ball one after another, and complete the double lob cooperation .
Xu Tian didn't expect that the two inside players could receive the ball. After being amazed, he quickly turned around and retreated to the backcourt.
