All of a sudden, the competition became unexpectedly intense. The head coach of the fastest rookie game is usually the team's assistant coach or player. This time, the head coach of the international team of both sides is the veteran Nowitzki, and the head coach of the American team is Pierce.

Both of them were very surprised, they did not expect to encounter such a situation when they were about to retire. Although these two men have known countless tactics and so on in their lives, they also have the hope of becoming a good manager in the future. However, what both sides need is that they come up with decent tactics now.

The two were stretched thin for a while. Both sides can only rely on their own tactical cultivation. The burden on the point guard has also become heavier.

Basketball has always been the king of the United States. Just look at the rookie game groupings for the U.S. and international teams. The version of the United States against the whole world. But now with other countries continue to improve. Now the international team finally has the strength to challenge the American team.

Compared to the relatively harmonious situation on the side of the international team. Moodier decisively handed over the right to organize the attack to Zhao Wei.

On the U.S. side, there was a disagreement.

Russell and Booker both want to be the central playmakers of this offense. And Booker has been ahead of Russell since he entered the NBA. While Russell has been doing well lately, Booker isn't impressed. Because he's been doing really well.

"Give me the ball." Russell yelled at Booker in a deep voice.

"To you? Makes you lose this game? Booker said disdainfully, "A parallel import, do you think you can become a genius overnight after winning a few games?" ”

"You can't even be the boss of a fish belly team, you can only brush up the data, do you know what it's like to win?" Russell's counterattack was even sharper, and the angry Booker was speechless.

"Since you're so confident, what about the remaining nine minutes of this section being handed over to you." Russell said unapprehrovingly with his hands around his chest.

"What if I get ahead of my opponents?" Booker smirked.

"Then I'm ashamed to be inferior to you. I will give you this position. Russell said with a shrug.

"Let me? This is my place, why did you give it to me? Booker was not happy and said in a deep voice.

"That's a lot of nonsense. I don't care which of you gets the ball, I'm going to win this game. A shout of anger interrupted the two, and Downs said coldly.

"Are you threatening me?" Booker also said coldly.

"Threatening you? You're not qualified for that. Downs said as indifferently as if he had heard a joke.

"You ......," Booker roared angrily, but was stopped by Russell.

"Don't just pay lip service. If you really want to do it, then show your real skills for everyone to see. Russell said lightly. After saying that, he and Downs quickly ran to the front court.

The ball, Russell really didn't fight again, and it was in Booker's hands.

It's good to say that Booker is a young man with potential, and it's good to say that Booker has strong scoring ability, but these are all based on Booker as a pitcher. Booker's organizational skills are very limited.

Moodier and Booker have played each other a few times, and Moodier knows Booker very well. Moodier is defending Booker's shots. As long as Booker is one to the three-point line. Moodier immediately grabbed it. The defense is Booker's shooting, to force Booker to dribble.

Booker's dribbling has improved from his first year, but it's still much worse than a point guard. Booker dribbles through and gets to the inside, where he is immediately blocked by Jokic.

Jokic and Moodier's teammates for two years gave him a good understanding of Moodier's intentions. Moodier cut off Booker's shot from the outside. After putting Booker inside, then Jokic will take care of the rest. It would be too easy for Jokic to bring down a not very physical Booker on the inside.

Booker has eaten three big hats from Jokic in a row. The U.S. offense was also sluggish due to Booker's offense. Once Booker's first shot is blocked, forcing him to dribble and break, his vision is very limited. Even when a teammate is in a good position, Booker struggles to get the ball in.

By the end of the first quarter, the U.S. team was trailing by as much as fifteen points over the international team.

"Hey." Downs grabbed Booker unceremoniously and yelled, "At your level, just stand in the bottom corner and wait for me honestly." After saying that, he walked quickly to the bench.

"Booker, is this your strength?" Russell came up behind Booker, "If that's it, then I'm really disappointed." ”

"You... It's just that they're playing better. Booker quibbled, "Do you think they'll take your word for it?" ”

……

"Good job, boys." Nowitzki high-fived the members of the international team with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wei naturally won't miss it. This was the first time Zhao Wei had such a close encounter with Nowitzki. Not only is Nowitzki the one who ushered in a new era of power forward in the NBA, but Nowitzki is already the greatest international player in the NBA.

"Hey, Nowitzki." Zhao Wei and Novitsky greeted each other, a little shy.

"Hey, Zhao Wei." Nowitzki said Zhao Wei's name very fluently.

Zhao Wei was very surprised by this, and Zhao Wei said in surprise: "Do you know my name? ”

"An international rookie like you, even if I didn't play against you, I knew about you." Nowitzki laughed, "You have a lot of potential, and your future is limitless." ”

"Thank you. I hope that one day there will be a trick like your Golden Rooster Independence to become famous in the world. Zhao Wei said with a smile.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you." Nowitzki said happily.

"Really?" For such a result, Zhao Wei can only say surprise.

"Really. As long as you win this game. Nowitzki laughed.

Compared to the harmony on the side of the international team, the side of the American team is a little noisy.

Embiid sat down in his seat dissatisfied, shouting, "Can you guards rubbish it again?" It's just that you guys can't pass the ball. If it doesn't work, say it in advance. Next, I will organize the attack. ”

"With your lame technique, do you want to make people become dogs?" Russell stepped forward and looked Embiid into the fire-breathing eyes.

"Which onion are you?" Embiid said dismissively.

"Me? It's just a small person. Russellson said coldly, "I'll dominate the team's offense next." And all I need you to do is not hold me back on the field. ”

"Drag you back? Haha, a guy who has never heard of it dares to come out and be arrogant. It seems that I gave you confidence. Embiid spat disdainfully.

"Against a Mario, you played like that in the first quarter. Wait until you take off your diaper before you come to arrogance. Russell also deliberately fanned the wind. It was as if the smell of the commotion wafted through the air.

"You ......" Embiid is about to have a seizure.

"Shut up." Pierce, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and shouted, "All the boys who don't know the height of the sky." Will he only be slapped in the face by others, and then secretly hide behind and complain? ”

The crowd was red-faced by Pierce. Pierce continued to roar: "At your level, it is also worthy of being called the future of the NBA and the future of the American team." You will only be a disgrace. Smear the faces of veterans. ”

"We are not ashamed." Downs roared. The rest of the people also looked at Pierce with fire-breathing eyes.

"Not a shame? It's not a shame, then prove it to me. Russell, now you are in charge of the team's offense. I don't care how many times you make mistakes, I don't care what kind of offense you want to play. I just want you to get the ball into everybody's hands. And you guys. Pierce pointed at the rest and shouted, "Put that damn ball in the hoop for me." ”

At the beginning of the second quarter, the ball was back in the hands of the U.S. team. And the international team also noticed that something was wrong. The U.S. team all looked like they had taken doping, and their eyes were bloodshot.

Embiid started the second quarter and kept going to the inside position, almost blowing up Mario. Knead the dough inside and outside like a kneading Mario.

And Booker, who had a sluggish performance in the first quarter, began to find the feeling of the game.

When the rest of the offense was involved in the defense, Russell could always get the ball into Booker's hands at the right time. Booker's function is very simple, which is to get the ball and throw it without hesitation.

A combination of Downs and Okafor, it's 15 years of champion and tanhua. The two poured water over the river on the inner line. Messing up the inside of the international team. The fifteen-point advantage was instantly wiped out by the other party.

And just then, Downs got the ball again, and there was no one in front of him. Downs prepares for a dunk with Roc wings outstretched.

"Impossible." Porzingis roared and flew from one side. With his arms outstretched, he completely blocked Downs. Downs' dunk plan failed, and with a twist in the air, he threw the ball from one side to Okafor on the other side.

It's impossible for Porzingis to go and block Okafor again. But Okafor had just jumped, and a larger figure appeared.

Jokic slapped the ball out of the air.

Pick up the ball and throw it to Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei took the ball and launched a fast attack. The U.S. team couldn't catch up with Zhao Wei, who was far ahead.

Zhao Wei did not go to the basket, but when he got to the basket, he suddenly threw the ball to the rebound. The ball bounced off the rebound.

Porzingis struck from behind and caught the ball with both hands. Roc spreads his wings and smashes the ball into the basket.

Roar!!!

The two big inside gates forged by Jokic and Porzingis showed their might at this point.

Downs and Okafor couldn't attack like fish in water on the inside, and even Embiid wanted to go in and try it, and he rewarded Porzingis with a big hat.

On the offensive end, because in comparison, Porzingis and Mario are physically weaker than their opponents. So the international team adopted Nowitzki's suggestion. They do not attack positionally. As long as Zhao Wei and Moodier get the ball, they are desperately running forward. The other three are desperately running.

After Zhao Wei broke through, he changed his right hand to his left hand in the air and threw a hit.

The international team managed to stabilize the lead.

And before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the suppressed Downs suddenly became powerful. The Downs expanded his range. Even though Porzingis moves fast, Downs has the ball. After Downs used a feint to shake off Porzingis, he made back-to-back mid-to-long-range shots. He even drove the range beyond the three-point line.

Knock knock! Downs hit three mid-range shots in a row, and the gap between the two sides was erased once again.

However, Downs' offensive did not stop. Because of the pressure on the outside, Porzingis didn't dare to let Downs shoot again. But this Downs' shooting feint is no longer a simple feint.

Because as long as Downs makes a shooting move. Porzingis does not interfere. Then this could be a real shot.

As soon as Porzingis pounced, the hole will appear. Downs can go from shooting feints to breakthroughs in an instant.

And Russell's passing always allows Downs to receive the ball very comfortably and then make a move.

The U.S. team relied on this to not only erase the point difference, but even overtake the score.

The second quarter was not over yet, and the U.S. team was already ten points ahead of the international team. Back and forth, in the middle of the second quarter, the international team had lost to the American team by 25 points.

The score of the two sides is 55:65.This is a game like the rookie game, otherwise it would be difficult to score such a high score.

Although the atmosphere of the game on both sides is tense, it is a rookie game after all, and the offensive actions of both sides are very gorgeous, and after breaking through to the basket, they are doing everything possible to complete the dunk. And the pace of attack and defense is very fast.

In a three-to-two-and-a-half inside matchup, the international team fell into disadvantage. Even Moodier, he's not known for his shooting. Now that Towns, Okafor, and Embiid are on the inside, Moodier rushes in and only the covers are waiting for him.

Therefore, the burden suddenly fell on Zhao Wei's body again. Zhao Wei's outside shooting percentage is higher than Moodier's.

Because Zhao Wei's height has reached two meters and three. Even if Zhao Wei faces Okafor and them, his height will not be too inferior.

Zhao Wei and Moodier winked.

Moodier ran back and came over to block Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei broke through Russell and hit the basket.

"Ahh The other four were shocked. Zhao Wei: What is this for? He should be shooting on the outside, why is he rushing inside at this time. Isn't this looking for a cover!

They've seen the eager looks in Embiid and Downs.

Downs took a step forward first, trying to block Zhao Wei at the free-throw line.

But Zhao Wei dribbled with his left hand. As he approached Downs, his left hand suddenly moved forward, and the ball suddenly increased in amplitude. , Downs thought Zhao Wei was going to speed up. Immediately accelerate to the left. But just as he moved, a horrific scene happened.

The ball was suddenly pulled back.

At that moment, Downs saw Zhao Wei's right hand suddenly stretched out from one side, grabbed the ball, pulled it back and dribbled it to the opposite side.

Zhao Wei's arm was originally on the left side. And the ball went forward so much at once. Zhao Wei's right hand reached over, and he pulled the ball back. Tang Si seemed to see Zhao Wei, at that moment, his right arm automatically extended.

With a sudden change of direction, Zhao Wei killed Tang Si from the right side.

Although he jumped, Zhao Wei still stood in front of an Embiid.

Embiid licked his tongue excitedly and swung it at the ball in Zhao Wei's right hand.

However, the ball was in front of him, but his hand waved empty.

As soon as Zhao Wei tightened his abdomen, his body paused in the air.

The ball was changed from the right hand to the left hand at the same time, the body was on the right side, and the hand was extended to the left side, a super difficult lever.

The ball goes into the hoop with a quick spin!! (To be continued.) )
