Michael? As Brown's assistant coach, Malone is good at building a defensive system. A few swingmen in the sophomore rookie are fine, but if you want to use a training session to get these people from different teams into a defensive system and work together, no one can do it.

The first-year style of play is simple, because they run and shoot, block and dismantle, fight for offense, and must have completed a shot in less than 10 seconds. Except for Gasol Jr., everyone else can go fast. The Challenge is also a star game, and fans prefer to watch fast-paced battles. The majority of those who applaud the first grade.

Zhou Xuan had to save his strength for the next two days, and he was replaced after only 6 minutes, scoring no point but giving 7 assists. The first-year team led 20-13 and scored super efficiently.

Sophomore began to shoot back with three-pointers, and Durant and Green became the protagonists on the court. After Horford defended Fernandez and broke through fouls, Scola came off the bench, and Lopez was also sent in the first year, and the interior continued to maintain the height advantage.

Rose also started to show when he came on, first assisting Beasley for a layup, then Gordon for a three-pointer, and the first-year team went on an 8-0 run to extend the margin to 13 points. Not only could he not defend himself from the outside, but Scola also struggled to defend López, and he showed amazing strength in the first year.

Later, sophomore Brooks also came off the bench, but his long-range shot missed and the pass was wrong, Westbrook seized the opportunity to counterattack and dunk, and the first-year team suppressed the second-year team in both scoring and momentum.

Durant was in a hurry on the court and wanted to put Westbrook aside to discuss. Dude, stop attacking, go undercover in the first grade, if I lose this game to your brother, I will definitely have no face.

Westbrook is the most desperate on the field, losing to Zhou Xuan in training, and he needs to vent his emotions and regain his confidence. Zhou Xuan is not there, the first-year guard line offense is still dominant, there are many people who are good at breaking through, the second-year is a big one, and the small Brooks defense is not good. And Chalmers is a point guard, but not a good playmaker.

The second year replaced Beasley, who had played for a long time, with a large belt and four small, Durant's advantage was more obvious, and he scored 6 points in a row to catch up with the score, and Gasol Jr. made a strong attack under the basket to play 2+1 and also colored, and then covered Horford's shot and directly assisted Westbrook with a long pass to assist Westbrook dunk points.

Scola and Thaddeus Yang led the second year to the score. But Mayo and Gordon's three-pointers continued to hit the sophomores, and Green's buzzer-beating three-pointers after the break narrowed the margin to single digits. 65 to 56.

There were fans outside the stadium who shouted Zhou Xuan's name, hoping that he would be able to play. However, the coach had been instructed not to let him play for too long, so he continued to sit on the bench. After discussing with Wade and Brian Shaw, they both felt that it was more appropriate to let Zhou Xuan go at a critical moment. It can also stabilize the situation.

Zhou Xuan was not idle off the court, carefully observing every attack on the field and analyzing the playing style of these people. He is more sure that the basic skills of American players are not particularly solid, and they rely more on physical fitness to play. This is also for the fact that there are fewer and fewer local traditional centers, and the big men are basically blue-collar.

Lopez and Gasol Jr. are both rare traditional center forwards, who respond on the court, blocking and dismantling very reasonably, although not the most dazzling on the court, but with great effect. On the other hand, Gordon and Beasley scored sharply, but they were too alone. If you are teammates with these two, it is difficult to distribute the ball.

In the second half, Durant continued to be active, and the coach arranged unlimited fire rights for him during the break. This is the best way to win, and other people defend and wait for opportunities. The first-year offense is stronger, and the second-year scoring master is actually only Durant. Scola, Chalmers, and Brooks are not good at acting, so they are basically useless. In this case, the only way to win is to find the strongest scoring point.

If Fernandez or Mayo and Gordon were to play against Durant in the first year, it would be impossible to prevent it. Let Beasley defend, Green, Thaddeus Young, Thornton and others will also get their chances.

Durant lived up to expectations and hit two three-pointers in a row to narrow the score. The sophomore fought for honor and was not as loose offensively and defensively as he was in the first half, and Thaddeus Young was even whistled for a physical foul. Suddenly, the defense was strengthened, and a group of outside players who wanted to dunk in the first grade began to be uncomfortable and made frequent mistakes.

López singled Scola to complete 2+1 and help the first grade lead 70-61.

After that, Scola hit a mid-range shot, and Durant broke through to create 2+1, and the second year narrowed the gap to 4 points. Fernandez's three-pointers and dunks hit back, and Beasley's 2+1 pushed the first-year offense to a climax, and the first-year continued to lead 80-72. After Scola ate Beasley's hot pot, the first year took the opportunity to further increase the score.

There was also a funny scene on the court, Durant smashed the ball on the rebound on the fast break, but the person who followed up behind him was Brooks, although the bounce was good but too short, after receiving the rebound ball, he dunked the ball away, and was easily counterattacked by the first grade. After this ball, the second grade asked for a timeout, and the coach told them to stop playing.

After the timeout, the game turned into a showdown between Durant and Beasley, with everyone else becoming spectators, and the two facing each other. Beasley was majestic, but after scoring 25 points, he began to desert and made a mistake to break through the bottom line. Seeing that his opponent was suddenly cursed as a "walking dead", Durant immediately exerted his might. He first broke through for a dunk, and then hit his fourth three-pointer of the game to chase the score to 85-89, and the rising Durant saluted the fans.

Starkey countered with a layup to cut the deficit to two points, and the sophomore went on a 13-2 spurt that led only 89-87 to call a timeout.

Horford then made two free throws to tie the score, and the two teams were in a tug-of-war for a while, with Green's three-pointer and Thaddeus Young's layup giving the sophomore team the initiative, and Durant's layup to bring his personal score to 37 points, breaking the record of 36 points set by Stoudemire in a rookie game.

First-year graders trailed 102-110 with six minutes left and called a timeout. Brian Shaw said: "Zhou, you play, stabilize the situation, and fight positional warfare." Brooke (López) gives him high cover. ”

The other three players on the field were Beasley, Fernandes, and Gordon.

The five sophomores who came on the court were Brooks, Durant, and Eyre? Thornton, Green, Scola.

Seeing Zhou Xuan return to the court, Brooks was under pressure and felt that something bad was going to happen. The Rockets faced the Warriors this season, and he was misplaced and cleaned up miserably, and he had a psychological shadow. If you can't prevent it at this time, someone will definitely blame him for the loss.

Zhang Reasonable said excitedly: "Towards the end, Zhou Xuan finally came up again, the first grade didn't want to lose yet, their previous attack was very messy." If this continues, the only suspense of the game has become Durant's final scoring record. Fernandez couldn't stop him at all. ”

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Although the playing time is the least among all the players, if Zhou Xuan can lead the first grade to overtake, it will be enough to make the fans excited." ”

The first year mastered the ball, Zhou Xuan led the half, Lopes covered, Zhou Xuan bypassed Brooks, attracted Green's defense, and passed the ball to the middle without hesitation.

Lopez received the ball and adjusted it and shot, Brooks was too short to interfere, and the ball went in. 104 to 110.

The fans applauded, and the goal seemed to signal a comeback from the first grade. However, Durant then came up with a 2+1 on Fernandez's head, and his personal score reached 40 points. 104 to 113.

Durant is not only tall, but also not slow, forming a misalignment in the low post, and his quality is better than Fernandez in all aspects.

Zhou Xuan shouted at Beasley when he received the baseline ball: "Michael, you go to defend Durant, now you score the most points, and if you win, you are the MVP, whether you can win this honor depends on your defense." You're a role model too! ”

"The Walking Dead" Beasley heard the word "MVP" and his eyes gradually regained their brightness. Although there was no stimulation from marijuana, Zhou Xuan's words also stimulated him. He is also a role model, and like Durant, he is even higher than Durant in college. But Durant won the best rookie last year, and he must be out of action this season. He didn't play much time with the Heat and also played off the bench.

I'm also the leader, I want to win the MVP of the rookie game, let these people see, how can I be worse than Rose, Mayo, and Zhou Xuan? Beasley perked up.

After Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled, Green still changed defenses, Lopes cut in, Scola blocked the position, Zhou Xuan took the ball and retreated, passing the ball from the top of Brooks' head to Beasley on the left. Beasley immediately proved his resurrection, first bouncing Thorton, then jumping forward to crash into his opponent and throw the ball, although he didn't score, he won a free throw, and made both free throws to make it 106-113.

Back on the defensive end, Beasley followed Durant. At this time, the sophomore also wanted Durant to continue to break the record, and Green passed the ball to him to play. Durant singled Beasley, the height advantage was gone, the emergency stop jump shot after the false was interfered with, the rebound was picked up by Zhou Xuan, and a long pass was sent to Gordon to launch a counterattack. Gordon's individual ability is very strong, he didn't wait for his teammates in the frontcourt, and directly relied on his speed to change direction and pass Soton to score on the basketball. Brooks was also quick to defend but didn't pack in time. 108 to 113.

The sophomore immediately replaced Brooks with Starkey, and the first-year also replaced Gasol Jr.

Zhou Xuan shouted on the defensive end: "Everyone compresses the defense, Michael is eyeing Durant, Rudy and Green, they are missing three-point shots." ”

He has read everyone's information, and he knows the characteristics of the other party well. Sure enough, as soon as the defense was compressed, the sophomore was depressed, Durant was guarded tightly, Starkey, who had just come on the court, missed the jumper, and the rebound was picked up by Gasol Jr. The coach felt that at this time, it was better to play with a meat shield, and he could also bully Scola down.

In the first-year positional battle, Zhou Xuan and Beasley cooperated in blocking and dismantling, and took it to the left side and hoisted it to Gasol Jr., who relied on his weight to hit Scola and dribbled two steps in the middle to turn and hook his hand. 110 to 113.

Both sides are really fighting, and they are proving with their actions that this star weekend is not for fun.
