"I think you all know that it's your honor to be your head coach in this rookie challenge that brings together the elites, and I, Charles Barkley, will be your head coach myself......"
In person, An Xi pouted, this big mouth is willing to say anything for the effect, and he also ...... it personally It's also an honor......
"We have two goals in this game, one is to limit the opponent's score to less than 90 points, and the other is to play our own offense and get at least 100 points, so that we can definitely win the game."
Anxi is even more speechless now, isn't this nonsense? If your opponent scores less than 90 points, and your own score is more than 100, 100:90, doesn't that win?
"So, let's go!" Charles Barkley looked at the time, the game was about to start, and he immediately announced the start.
Because Anxi they trained in the Amway Arena, so they didn't take a few steps and came to the locker room, this game Chuck team played the away team, so Anxi they used the away team's locker room, Amway Arena is a new stadium, the facilities are still very advanced, compared to the Spurs' home stadium is a lot better.
As soon as he entered the locker room, Anxi found his cabinet and sat down, and began to change the jersey of the rookie game, there is no separate jersey for the rookie challenge, they are all jerseys of their respective teams, so Anxi put on his No. 7 Spurs jersey, the one with the main color of black.
Charles Barkley also walked in, and he began to arrange the starting lineup for this game: "So geniuses, our starting lineup for this game is: Kelly Irving, John ****, Paul George, Derrick Williams and DeMarcus Cousins, let's work hard, according to what I said before, beat the opponent!" ā
Barkley finished speaking, holding out his hand.
An Xi stood up silently and gave his teammates a high-five.
The starting lineup of the rookie game is the result of strength and fame, Kelly Irving is their strength, Derrick Williams is famous, but I don't know if Jeremy Lin can get a starter in the Shaq team, after all, this guy is now powerful and famous.
Barkley's talents have appeared, although it is only the rookie challenge, there are still a lot of celebrities on the sidelines, the league also prepared some wonderful performances at halftime, the league invited the new stars Iggie Acelia and Justin Bieber to perform the opening and halftime performances, and Justin Bieber will also participate in the All-Star Celebrity Game after the rookie challenge, and play with Penny Hardaway.
The lights of the Amway Arena dimmed suddenly, and under the passionate report of the DJ on the spot, the players played one after another, because it was a rookie game, so there was no difference between home and away between the two teams, and every rookie appearance caused huge cheers on the scene.
"Blake! Griffin! The first to appear was Blake Griffin, a young power forward who was also selected for the All-Star Game, so he was the most popular among the rookies, and the scene suddenly resounded with thunderous cheers.
"Jeremy! Forest! "Jeremy Lin, the second to appear, is the second highest in the Rookie Challenge, and if you count the current level of popularity, he should be regarded as the hottest, Lin is crazy at the right time, and this craze has swept the whole United States.
When Jeremy Lin trotted out, all the fans in the stadium began to shout: "Linsanity! ā
An Xi stood behind, and he had to sigh that the current Jeremy Lin was indeed hot.
Anxi's appearance order is in the middle, and his appearance also drew a wave of cheers, but compared to Blake Griffin and Jeremy Lin, it is a little far behind.
Everyone played, the geniuses began to warm up, and some were stopped by reporters on the sidelines and began pre-match interviews.
An Xi was pulled by Abby, and An Xi still admired Abby's blatant show of affection, but the question asked made An Xi break out in a cold sweat.
"Ann, what did you think of Iggie's singing just now?" When Anxi was just in the players' tunnel, Iji Acelia sang a song.
An Xi also listened carefully, and he thought it was good: "I think it's not bad, it's very good." ā
"And do you think Iggie is pretty?"
An Xi was just about to nod subconsciously, and then reacted, this is a pit, but he can't say that it is not beautiful, this is a live broadcast, if it is not beautiful, it may cause some turmoil, and now Anxi is in trouble.
An Xi scratched his head, and he thought of a roundabout tactic: "I'm a little far away, I'm sorry, I didn't see it clearly." ā
This answer perfectly solved the pit just now, Abby threw Anxi a look that counts as your quick reaction, and let Anxi go back to warm up, she knows that the warm-up before the game is still very important, just ask two questions, and can't delay Anxi's warm-up.
The game started quickly, and the Chuck team's starters all appeared, and the Shaq team's starter Anxi also saw it, with Ricky Rubio as the point guard, Jeremy Lin's cameo as the point guard, Markieff Morris as small forward, Blake Griffin as the power forward, and Greg Monroe as the center.
At the beginning of the game, the offense of the two teams was very chaotic, all kinds of singles, it was the Shaq team who grabbed the ball, Monroe's jump ball won, and then the first wave of attack was Blake Griffin's singles, and the Chuck team didn't have much defense, Derek Williams didn't know whether he was afraid of being deducted or deliberately gave Griffin a chance to perform, he directly let go of the way, Blake Griffin staged a violent tomahawk slam, which ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the beginning.
Last season's dunk king showed off his signature dunk at the start, and he knows what the audience wants to see.
Switching to Chuck's offense, the situation was similar, Kelly Irving's single was not defended at all, and he easily broke through Riqui Rubio and completed the layup.
In this way, the two teams began a variety of offensive and defensive defenses without defense, and the Shaq team showed off their dunk skills in various ways, but Blake Griffin didn't play long, because the Clippers have a tight schedule recently, and he has to play an All-Star game the day after tomorrow, and Griffin chose to rest early.
In this way, without the god Griffin, the Shaq team has become a two-man show for Jeremy Lin and Ricky Rubio, the two point guards who make all kinds of dribble layups, three-pointers, and scoop points.
On the contrary, on the Chuck team's side, Kelly Irving's condition does not seem to be very good, and various individual singles miss, and the Chuck team is slowly falling behind.
Anxi didn't care, he shouldn't have many opportunities in this rookie game, so he kept chatting with his teammates on the sidelines, Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors from the Jazz, because of Abby, they quickly became familiar with Anxi, after all, Jeff Hornacek is their senior plus current coach.
They won't have too many chances in this game, so the three of them are discussing giving up all the offensive opportunities to one person after they get on the pitch and brush up on a good statistic.
