After listening to the tactics, Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, raised his right hand and said, "Coach, I have something to say." ”

"What do you want to say?" Elston laughed. This person has a pair of eight-character eyebrows, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and laughs a bit like an ancient Chinese father-in-law, with a treacherous appearance.

"One thing I have to say is that I'm a point guard, and only a point control playmaker can play to my full strength, and I've never played in the number two position." Zhou Xuan is colored.

"Oh, is it? You know very well about your own characteristics, but do you know that I am the head coach of the team now, and my arrangement is an order. If you don't obey, then stop fighting and just sit in the field. I said Aaron had the ball, that was his possession, this is and it will be next. Team Rocket doesn't need a prick. Elston still smiled, but his words were full of threat.

Zhou Xuan noticed that Brooks and Elston glanced at each other, and there was a smile on the corner of their mouths. His mind was racing, and he kind of understood why Brooks had come to summer league. He came for Elston, and they had a very good relationship. Elston, who has been with Adelman for a long time as an assistant, must be hoping that he will turn around one day. It's hard for an assistant coach to perform, and summer league is an important stage for him. Alston is old, Brooks can turn positive at any time, he wants to give Brooks a chance to practice in the casino, Brooks will not forget his kindness today when he becomes a starter in the future, and Brooks also wants to use the summer league to prove that he is a passer.

The two are in a group. Elston asked me to play in order to fulfill the task assigned by the team's superiors to give the rookie enough playing time to perform. But I'm a point guard, and staying with the Rockets will affect Brooks' playing time, and this guy may have planned to squeeze me out of the box and keep only Green and Dorsey. Zhou Xuan thought depressedly.

How do you defend such a back two? Brooks is only 180CM, thin like a monkey, and Zhou Xuan looks tall and strong compared to him. Brooks will be blown into scum if he follows the defensive point guard, so he can only be on Zhou Xuan. Brooks' playmaking skills are also terrible, and it was evident last season, averaging only two assists per game in the steady rotation, and breaking through his own offense is his first choice. But even so, the coach chose to trust him because he can shoot threes and was the best player in last summer league.

Zhou Xuan thought of the result, but no longer reasoned with Elston, but said in a low voice: "Coach, I understand, I just want to talk about my own characteristics, it is more convenient for you to arrange the troops, I am willing to accept all your arrangements." ”

If you are facing a father-in-law and reason with him, can he grow a beard and become a pure man? Zhou Xuan doesn't want to make that kind of useless attempt, he still needs to play, even if he plays the second position, he must strive to get good data in the summer league, and leave here in the future to be used as qualifications and proof. At the end of the game, he was ready to give Mitchell. Butler called and figured out what to do.

The summer league is also very formal, with music, appearance ceremonies, cheerleaders performing a lot. Before the opening of the scene, the atmosphere was stirred up. The Rockets players wore gray tops and black shorts, while the Suns players wore all black. There were Chinese people in the stands waving at Zhou Xuan, which made him feel cordial and a little more stressed. At this moment, he felt like Chen Ziang, who "thought about heaven and earth, and was alone and weeping", and he had never met the same talents.

He had been failing in middle school Chinese, and he suddenly felt blessed and full of poetry, and groaned in his heart.

It's obvious.

Assistant coach of the Rockets.

It's all NBA.

The stupidest one. (Pear Blossom Poem!) ）

Suns starting center Robin. Lopez, power forward Jerry. Wallace, small forward Vinisis, shooting guard PJ. Tucker, point guard Stroberg.

The strongest of these is Robin, the younger brother of the Stanford twin centers. Lopez. His offensive means are definitely not as strong as his brother's, but he is also a blue-collar who was selected in a high order and is very good.

Strobery is 196 cm tall and weighs 93 kilograms, making him relatively strong. He was drafted by the Suns with the 59th pick last year, and in the 2007-2008 season, he averaged 2 per game in his rookie season. 2 points 0. 9 rebounds 0. 9 assists and only played 33 games. His shooting is poor, his specialty is defense, and he has a clear advantage against Brooks' height and strength.

Who is Zhou Xuan's opponent? P。 J。 Tuck! A black strong man with a height of 198CM and a weight of 102 kg, he was selected by the Raptors in the 35th place in the second round in 2006. At a glance, it looks like it is full of muscles, Zhou Xuan suddenly has a head and two big, and he is 40 pounds of meat with the other party, so he has to defend with his life? No matter how desperate the U.S. light tanks are, can they survive the apocalypse?

Tucker looked at Zhou Xuan, posed as a fitness gentleman, showed off his exaggerated biceps, showed a bright smile and two rows of white teeth that could be used for toothpaste advertising.

Zhou Xuan's heart is broken, this guy must want to eat me hard!

The game is about to begin. Standing in the middle circle, Tucker smiled beside Zhou Xuan: "With your physique, you still play the No. 2 position?" I will do my best to ensure that this is a turning point in your life. ”

How is he going to do his best? Bang me hard? Then this is not a turning point, but a fracture point...... Zhou Xuan couldn't cry or laugh. His grandmother's you think I want to play double guards, it's all arranged by the coach who lacks morality.

The referee blows the whistle and the game begins. Lopez's bounce was average, and the timing was good, helping the Suns win the ball and the Rockets quickly returned to defense.

Stroberg dribbled the ball through the half, and Brooks interfered from the outside, and the difference in height between the two was a full 16 centimeters, but Brooks was more flexible, stuck in position and reached out to steal the ball.

Seeing that the Rockets were defending, the opportunity was not good, and he hoisted the pass to the inside Lopez, who received the ball in the low post, resisted twice, and turned around in the middle to throw a shot. 0 to 2.

Joseph was easily squeezed out of position, and Elston shook his head. Joseph is so bad that it will definitely be useless to get into the Rockets lineup. Zhou Xuan was glad that the ball didn't reach Tucker. The difference between the strength of the two must be even greater, he has just been squeezed out of position, Tucker only needs to catch the ball and turn around, he can easily break through.

The baseline ball was issued, Brooks was responsible for controlling the ball, Zhou Xuan could only go fast, and the person who defended him was Tucker.

There is a way that one force will drop ten times, but there is also a saying that the world's martial arts are only fast and not broken. This guy can be a power forward with the weight, and he definitely can't be fast, can he keep up with my speed? Zhou Xuan thought in his heart, as soon as he accelerated, he ran back from the inside to the periphery without covering.

Brooks passed the ball, Zhou Xuan took the ball outside the three-point line on the left side, and Tucker came out to defend.

Harris pulls to cover on the perimeter, he likes to play pick-and-roll tactics, and he's about the same height as Tucker, but he's just as strong. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball with his left hand and changed direction to the middle.

Jerry who switched guards. Wallace is also a strong guy who played in the NBDL Development League and wasn't fast. Zhou Xuan didn't make any feints, and just relied on his speed to rush past him and rush straight to the basket. López reacted quickly and turned to let go of the defender.

Before receiving the ball, Zhou Xuan kept calculating, and he already had a set of plans. Forced a layup, Lopez was ready to block him, Brooks cut quickly, and when he threw the ball up, Brooks also rushed to the basket, the ball went in, and it was a beautiful two points.

Zhou Xuan broke through in the middle and took a step, but the ball was thrown high.

Throwing? That's too biased. Lopez was about to turn around and grab the ball, but saw Brooks, the smallest in the game, jump up under the basket by relying on the off-ball cover, catch the basketball with both hands, and dunk the basketball in the air!

The bottom-line air-cutting tactic mentioned before the game was that Joseph did not stand under the basket and went out to block people. This time he blocked Stroberg and helped the team play a wonderful combination. 2 to 2.

The Chinese audience outside the stadium was very excited, and it seemed that China was really going to produce a super defender, but unfortunately they were only excited for a while.

The Suns attacked, Stroberg passed the ball after half court, Vinisis jumped out of the way, and the match was very simple, the rebound was obtained by Lopez, passed out of the line, and the Suns attacked again.

Power forward Wallace covered, Stroberg broke through with the ball, and Harris switched defenses very quickly to block his path. Harris is not bad, and he can't play in the NBA because his actual height is only 198CM, but his skills tend to be at the No. 4 position, which is too short.

Stroberg passed the ball to Tucker, and Zhou Xuan hurriedly defended closely. He learned the right way to defend and bet that Tucker wouldn't attack with his back. Unfortunately, Tucker is very good at using his body to his advantage. His advantages against the general No. 2 position are obvious, not to mention Zhou Xuan, who weighs only 80 kilograms?

He resisted twice, Zhou Xuan lost his position, and Tucker turned around and scored in one step on the basketball. 2 to 4.

The Rockets attacked, Brooks dribbled the ball across the half, broke into the three-second zone by covering and threw out, the Suns counterattacked, and Stroberg made a single fast-break layup. 2 to 6. Zhou Xuan was the fastest to return to defense, but Stroberg's physique was also stronger than him, so he didn't defend it.

In the opening minutes, the Suns maintained a high offensive efficiency, and the Rockets' outside defense was full of holes. As long as Brooks encounters the opponent's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, a misalignment is a colander, not only can't get stuck, but also can't effectively interfere with the opponent's shooting. Zhou Xuan encountered the same embarrassment, and Tucker relied on his physique to successfully beat him three times in a row. The coach replaced him five minutes later, leaving Brooks to stay on the court and organize the offense.

Tucker and Stroberry, two people who are not good at offense, easily blew up the outside of the Rockets.

Zhou Xuan's statistics are zero, and the only performance is the opening assist. Brooks didn't pass the ball to him, and gave the ball to Harris and Green again and again.

Zhou Xuan was depressed, the worst defender was Brooks, if he faced Stroberg, he wouldn't be so embarrassed. But Brooks has qualifications, and the coaching staff is determined to let him be the core of the court, and Zhou Xuan's existence is more like a black pot for the Rockets' overall garbage defense.
