After the All-Star Roundtable, 24 All-Star players were divided into three teams to carry out NBA care activities, among which Adidas signed superstar Dwight ? Howard, Tim? Duncan, Chauncey? Billups, Devon? Harris and the others go to a holiday park on the outskirts of the city, play graffiti games with the children, and help them build activity facilities.

Zhou Xuan, Sun Yue, and Wu Dawei from Beichuan formed a trident and became the focus of media attention. Yao Ming has limited mobility and does not participate in caring activities, but only serves as an audience.

Wu Dawei, who has been teaching children basketball at Beichuan Middle School since the earthquake, wrote a New Year's wish on his blog, "Dream of taking Beichuan children to the NBA together", which attracted the attention and response of Tsingtao Beer, the official partner of the NBA in China, making Wu Dawei's dream of an NBA trip come true. As a result, he is also known as the "Green Beer Boy" on the Internet.

The trio joined the Nike star group and volunteered at Cesar Chavez Community School, doing rough work, digging sand pits, filling soil, and planting trees.

NBA commissioner David? Stern also attended the event to thank everyone for their long-term support of the NBA and hope that the NBA can contribute to the community.

Zhou Xuan was so busy that he couldn't eat with Nie Yuyan, so he just called and chatted a few words, so that they could eat and have fun. In the afternoon, he hurried to train with the first- and second-year rookies to prepare for the rookie challenge that night.

Entering the arena, there were almost all the people.

Someone came to provoke him immediately, and Westbrook held his head high and said, "Stephen Zhou, do you dare to fight me alone for a while?" ”

Westbrook's desire to shoot heads-up and shooting is very strong, and when the Thunder met the Warriors this season, Zhou Xuan has not been single, blocking or passing inside, which makes him very unhappy.

"No problem. Raphael, it's a pleasure to meet you, where are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Einstein? Zhou Xuan was happy when he saw Westbrook's red-rimmed glasses, isn't this the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

"Hahaha, that's interesting." Beasley next to him laughed.

Westbrook was choked so hard that he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Xuan looked at Beasley, shook his hand and said, "Hey, Michael, play hard, today we will try to defeat the second grade, you win the MVP." ”

Beasley was a little surprised. "Are you optimistic about me?"

"Of course, didn't you notice that we lacked strikers in the team today, you will definitely play a lot of time."

The rookie lineup is very unreasonable. There are no strikers in the first year, and there are no defenders in the second year. Oden was sidelined due to injury, and Fernandez came off the bench, but his style of play also leaned toward scoring guard, playing small forward was too thin, and if he went to prevent Durant, he would be blown up. Beasley can play two positions, and he is the only one for power forward and small forward today.

The most in the first grade is the guard, Zhou Xuan knows that he can't play for too long, and he has to stay for the star race.

After changing into sportswear, Zhou Xuan began to warm up.

For the first time in NBA history, two active NBA players, Howard of the Magic and Wade of the Heat, who are also All-Star starters, are involved in coaching, with Howard serving as a member of the second-year team's coaching staff and Wade appearing on the rookie team's coaching staff. Of course, it's just a cameo, leading the running laps, and then the players are free to move around and shoot to find their touch.

Westbrook finished the warm-up and looked for Zhou Xuan to fight alone, he had competed with others in the NCAA, and today he couldn't get along with Zhou Xuan. The Thunder's record is too bad, he can't take the Warriors, he just wants to defeat Zhou Xuan in terms of personal ability and prove himself.

Rose and Mayo watched the excitement from the sidelines, and Gordon directly shouted cheers for Westbrook, hoping that he would give Zhou Xuan some color. Many local American stars are not convinced by Zhou Xuan, feeling that it is a shame for them to let a second-round rookie or an international player win the best rookie.

Wade called Zhou Xuan to his side and said lightly: "Stephen Zhou, you can take it easy, don't work too hard." ”

"Don't worry, I won't get injured in training."

Wade is also not optimistic about Zhou Xuan, the assist king relies on passing, heads-up or people with good physical fitness are dominant, and few people have seen Zhou Xuan play on the court with his body.

In fact, Zhou Xuan often goes head-to-head with people of Margety's size in the team, and even tries to prevent Randolph, and finding abuse is one of his great hobbies. In the process of looking for abuse, he learned how to open up space and better protect himself when interfering with shots and falling to the ground. The constant physical confrontation is more effective than practicing equipment in the gym, and he understands how to play the next game.

Even if Westbrook doesn't provoke, Zhou Xuan wants to find someone to practice, unlike others who love face, he is not afraid of losing at all. These people present are at the same level as him, and Kobe Bryant and others will grow old in the future, and they are likely to be important competitors, and he doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to find out the details.

Zhou Xuan stood on the free throw line, moved his hands and feet, and passed the ball to Westbrook, and said with a smile: "How to win?" ”

"Whoever scores three goals first wins."

"Only three? Then you're welcome, you'll do anything. Zhou Xuan smiled.

It's too arrogant, is it because of your physical fitness and confidence to win against me alone?

Westbrook didn't know Zhou Xuan's strength at all, and he was a confident person who was always improving.

When the Thunder unexpectedly selected Westbrook with the fourth pick, the spear and the cannon were aimed at him, saying, "WhyNot? ”

During his time at UCLA, Westbrook's mid-range shortcomings were magnified by all the teams, even though he had so little playing time that few teams were willing to analyze him too much. But Westbrook continued his paranoia, throwing 1,000 balls a day from the left baseline, practicing 1,000 on the right side after the shot, and then leaving the empty arena. It's just because people say he can't shoot, and then he got to shoot from the middle.

After that, people mocked Westbrook for not being able to play point guard. The script is like a well-written one, and the iron can't beat the first Da Lun? Collison was injured, and Westbrook, who was a bony player, stepped up, and his tough style of play quickly attracted a lot of attention. He played just 325 minutes in his first year of college career, which skyrocketed to 1,318 minutes in his second year, up from three. 4 points to 12. 7 points. The 1,318 minutes of playing time also broke the previous record of 1,303 minutes set by Afflaro in the 2005-2006 season. No one knew that Westbrook would become the type of player he is now.

Now people say that he is far inferior to Zhou Xuan, and of course Westbrook doesn't believe it. He admits that the Thunder is not as good as the Warriors, but his personal ability must be stronger than Zhou Xuan, so he has to challenge!

Westbrook dribbled the ball and suddenly changed direction to accelerate to the right side, and Zhou Xuan moved sideways quickly, blocking his breakthrough route. Westbrook leaned his back against Zhou Xuan, shook his right shoulder slightly, pretended to take the middle lane, and then turned to the right. Zhou Xuan blocked in front of him again, and directly got close to him, squeezing the space for him to dribble to death.

Single-handedly with a strong man, when to be close, when to get out of the way Zhou Xuan's judgment is always accurate. Margeti is much stronger than Westbrook, as long as he's not in the low post, not on his back, and he's not afraid of a defender weighing under 100kg.

Westbrook protected the ball with his back again, took the ball and retreated to open the distance, turned and changed to the left side, usually relying on speed He is likely to succeed, but Zhou Xuan blocked him with his right leg, which was learned from Kobe, the ball passed but slowed down, on the field, this kind of ball referee generally does not blow, Ellis felt a headache when he was single-handed.

How to defend against fast guards, Zhou Xuan also has experience. Westbrook is no faster than Ellis.

The two had physical contact, and as soon as Zhou Xuan withdrew his legs, Westbrook suddenly messed up the rhythm of dribbling. And usually with the ball for so long, the game should have been passed a long time ago.

This guy is so powerful? Before playing the Mavericks, Westbrook broke through Kidd, who has been selected for the defensive lineup many times, and he did not fall behind in the face of Paul and Delon, and his confidence was swelled and he felt that he was already at the top. But last week's Xuan tried several times and couldn't pass. He retreated again, and Zhou Xuan lowered his center of gravity, preventing sudden but not shooting.

Westbrook also felt that he had too much ball, so he chose to jump, and Zhou Xuan immediately jumped up to interfere, sealed his eyes without blocking, and shot out of the frame.

The people who watched the excitement were quiet, and they could see that Westbrook had done his best, and Zhou Xuan was very good.

Wade's defense was praised by people, and he was also surprised, Zhou Xuan's defense was really not weak, even if he went up to defend alone, it would have this effect. It's not about the body, it's about the skill of defense.

It was Zhou Xuan's turn to play singles. He stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, Westbrook passed the ball over, Zhou Xuan received the ball without saying a word, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and hit a three-point shot.

"You ......"

"Can't it be like this? I'm used to shooting when I catch the ball in the team, or doesn't that count? Zhou Xuan looked at him and smiled.

Dare to look down on me? Westbrook angrily wanted to touch the double fork to kill Zhou Xuan, gritted his teeth and said, "No need!" ”

Westbrook attacked, this time he suddenly changed direction with the ball to accelerate, Zhou Xuan took a step sideways, and blocked it with his legs, as soon as he slowed down, Westbrook didn't know what to do, repeated twice, and the most shot was missed.

Blocked the second ball, but Zhou Xuan didn't show joy and sighed: "Be serious, okay?" Don't you have any tricks? ”

One sentence almost disgusted Westbrook to death. Of course, he has a trick, which is to take the first step to break through, jump through people with explosiveness and speed, and as soon as he enters the three-point line and pulls the ball, he can stride into the basket, and the small lever dodges and blocks the layup. But Zhou Xuan could always block his first step, so that he couldn't rush up.

Zhou Xuan had already discovered that Westbrook was very similar to Ellis, with a pair of extremely explosive ecstasy calves. In fact, they don't have very good dribbling skills, they are completely explosive and fast, and to put it bluntly, they eat youth. They often use their speed and explosiveness to easily outperform their opponents' defenses to create scoring opportunities. Zhou Xuan knew that the key to this breakthrough lies in the first step of initiation, which is called "one step through people". He has already studied how to prevent this, and it is usually the main skill.

Westbrook is on the Thunder team, but there is no sparring partner similar to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan attacked, and the periphery continued to dribble under the crotch to change direction to the right side, attracting Westbrook's center of gravity to move and pull the ball up, and dribbling behind him to the left.

Westbrook followed, and he was also known for his defense in college. Zhou Xuan didn't expect to pass him easily, leaned on him with his back to the left low position, shook his right shoulder to the bottom line, and then turned to the left side to shoot a 45-degree angle jumper, the rhythm of the ball was very good, and it was the position he was good at. The jump is not high, but the body has a small back, dodges the block, and hits the cricket ball to score!

2 to 0. Westbrook had a hunch that he was going to be embarrassed.
