The rivalry between the two youth teams with the league's superstars has attracted the attention of countless fans. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

An hour before the game began, the arena at the United Center in Chicago was packed with enthusiastic fans. Three excited Chinese teenagers sat in the audience and looked around curiously. When they came to watch an NBA game for the first time, they were deeply shocked by this magnificent arena.

"Coach Glenn, which team are those guys wearing?"

Yang Mingrui pointed to a group of fans in red jerseys and asked Glenn, who had brought them here to watch the game.

"Oh, it's a very famous high school team jersey in the United States."

The Timothy Trojans were not only the starting point of his friend's basketball career, but also the place that Glenn misses infinitely. Every time Sun Yi comes back here to compete, these die-hard fans always come to the scene to cheer on the growing Chinese guy.

After hearing the story of this high school team, the three teenagers were eager to end the preparatory class and go to the campus to experience the exciting high school basketball.

……

Helen, who came to Chicago with the Knicks, was a rare lazy person today. After hurriedly ending the interview mission, she was chatting with her best friend Jenny in the stands. The two stunning stunners, one white and one black, made countless single dogs swallow saliva, and if it weren't for the public, they would definitely be crushed under them and ravaged fiercely.

As the players on both sides warmed up, the two big beauties invariably set their eyes on the Chinese guy with long hair. The topic in his mouth gradually became private.

"When did you fall in love with him?"

Jenny looked at the handsome young man who was whispering to her teammates, and touched her friend with her elbow.

"Huh! What did you say? ”

"When did you fall in love with him?"

Jenny raised her voice slightly this time.

This question made Helen smile wryly, she flicked the bangs in front of her forehead, was silent for a while, and said, "At that time, he was in his second year of high school, and I was in my fourth year of high school." What about you? ”

"Me? Me and him are destined to work out, so it doesn't matter when you fall in love with him. ”

Helen couldn't stand the sad look on her friend's face the most, and she pushed her best friend upstairs to encourage: "Jenny, don't be discouraged, no one knows whether tomorrow will be sunny or rainy." ”

"But he has a girlfriend now!"

"That's right, Sun also had a girlfriend when he was in high school, but it's not that one anymore."

“……”

……

While two stunning beauties who fell in love with the Chinese guy encouraged each other to fall in love in the stands, the starters of the Chicago Bulls and Knicks were already standing in the middle of the court.

Ross and Sun Yi, two good buddies, have no other party in their eyes at all, only the red basketball in the referee's hand. Noah, who had the advantage of height, grabbed the ball before McDyce.

The home team that won the ball quickly passed the half.

'Windy City Roses' carefully dribbled the ball, and the good guy in front of him not only has a pair of elusive long arms, but also averages 2.6 steals per game, which is the current steal king of the league.

Sun Yi has long been familiar with his friend's dribbling rhythm, and he can't be more familiar with it. But he didn't dare to make a move easily, because as long as he didn't succeed, he would be cleaned up by the other party.

The confrontation between the two best friends ended with Rose handing the ball to the Bulls center, who came to the high post to respond.

"Why are you always buzzing around with me like a fly?"

'Windy City Rose', who rarely doesn't talk trash in the game, will only do everything when he meets Sun Yi like when the two of them were heads-up before.

"Haha! If I'm a fly, you're a piece of! Derek, you're never going to win against me, so save the effort you put into your mouth. ”

Hum! The Bulls' core point guard, who didn't take advantage of it, began to speed up his running without the ball.

Noah, with the ball in both hands, stood a little to the right of the top of the arc, constantly observing the movement of his teammates. When Rose took advantage of the cross-switch with Salmons and slightly shook off the Chinese player who had been following him, Noah passed the ball.

Chirping!

Due to the advance of the Bulls center's pass, Rose turned directly after receiving the ball and began to accelerate to the opponent's basket.

The Knicks' No. 8 player, who was belated, could only hope that his teammates could stand in key positions, so that the opponent could not directly break through to the basket.

The experience of the veteran center, McDyce, played a key role at this time. I saw him move laterally and block Rose's best offensive line.

The No. 1 player of the Bulls, who has no way out, can only choose to slow down. At this time, a large slender hand had quietly come to his back.

Just when Sun Yi thought that the sneak attack was about to be successful, the ball in the opponent's hand suddenly disappeared.

What's the situation?

Noah, the center who had just finished the strategy, was holding the ball from his teammates at this time, facing the Knicks' empty basket, and dunked with one hand to complete the home team's first score of the game.

This morning the Knicks practiced their targeted defense, but practice and game are two different things. D'Antoni, who was standing on the sidelines, kept chopping with his hands against the Chinese youngster.

Cutting off Rose's and Noah's ties on the inside was the key to winning this game.

Although he didn't defend against the opponent's attack, the game was just beginning.

After a few minutes of adaptation, the Bulls' breakthrough tactics and high-post tactics became more and more difficult to tear apart the opponent's defense. However, Salmons' huge advantage over Afflaro allowed the home side to temporarily lead by five points when the main players of both sides came off the break.

……

The three Chinese teenagers sitting in the stands were completely fascinated by this fierce competition. Being in front of the TV and watching the game live feels completely incomparable. At this time, they can no longer worry about the lagging Knicks, because the performance of the players on the court will shock these teenagers with basketball dreams for a long time.

The Knicks rotation lineup led by Miller Sr. Miller's Bulls role players are evenly matched. When the two sides resumed their main lineup in the second quarter, the Bulls, who were playing at home, led by four points at 29-25.

In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, D'Antoni asked Wilson. Chandler switched to the shooting guard position and played opposite Salmons, who had already scored 10 points. The team's sixth man, Al Harrington, was called up at the small forward position.

The away team's adjustment is obviously prepared. After the resumption of the game, the home team fell into a four-minute scoring drought. Although the Knicks' offense was not efficient under the opponent's defense, they still overtook the score before halftime.

47 to 42!

The visiting team, who came from behind, temporarily led by five points.

The core defenders of the two teams were restricting each other, and the statistics in the first half were not very good. Rose had seven points, two rebounds and two assists on 3-of-11 shooting. Sun Yi shot 5-of-12 and got 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

On the contrary, it was the second scorer of both teams, who became the protagonist today. Salmons 16 points, Al Brown. Harrington 15 points.

As the Knicks' No. 8 was standing outside the locker room door, ready to push the door in, assistant coach Wojciechhowski called the guy to stop.

"Whoa! This is your data from the first half, what do you think after watching it? ”

Sun Yi, who carefully skimmed through the data sheet, had a smile on his face that became stronger and stronger.

"Haha! It's a bit miserable, but as long as you can take down the other party, it's worth it. Moreover, Derek's stats seem to be worse than mine. Hahahaha! ”

The Chinese guy's answer made Coach Woe breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. In the NBA, if a team's style of play is not allowed by the team's stars, there is something that hurts the player's stats, and once this happens, many times the coaches will lose their jobs.

This kind of example abounds in the history of the NBA, in the summer of 1981, the Lakers offered a 25-year, 25 million contract extension for "Magic" Johnson, establishing his status as the team's number one star, and the league was shocked by the fact that he had just played 6 games in the 81-82 season. After some investigation, the elder Bass learned that the Magic was dissatisfied with the Lakers coach at the time. Hyde's tactical system based on the inside line "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, and then Bass urgently summoned West. Hyde and his assistant coach Pat Hyde. Riley pointed out two paths for the former: one is to coach with Riley and become a double coach, and the other is to take a step back and become Riley's deputy. West. Hyde chose to resign voluntarily in anger, and Riley, who was only 36 years old, took office, established "Magic" as the tactical core, and created the "Showtime era" that went down in NBA history.

In the '80s, the Celtics won three championships, first to Bill Finch and the last two to K.C. Jones, and McHale was on that team at the time. Finch, a Navy instructor, like Riley, advocates high-intensity training, and except for the young "Big Bird" Bird, no one likes to have to undergo more intense training after 48 minutes of battle with their opponents on the field.

"That man might be trying to kill me." Veteran Robert. Parish has complained so publicly, so Finch's end has been predestined in advance, defeating the Rockets to win the championship in the 80-81 season, and losing to the 76ers in the 81-82 season, which is Finch's third season in charge of the Celtics, and almost all the players under him are already miserable. So in the 82-83 season, the Celtics deliberately lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals and were swept by the Bucks, and Finch was immediately swept away, and the core of the Green Army during the 8-game championship period KC. Jones took office, and the Celtics immediately regained the championship.

Robinson is a player with a high ball quotient, but in the early days of his career, he didn't like intense physical confrontations, preferring to use technique to get his opponents, and there was still a market for this style of play during the regular season, and in the playoffs, Robinson always habitually disappeared. Off the court, Robinson has many hobbies, such as electronic music, computers, and saxophones, and Brown naturally decided that Robinson's attitude was problematic, and the two fell out together, and finally the conflict broke out in the 91-92 season, and Brown's ending was that the entire coaching team left en masse.

These real-life examples illustrate that the relationship between a star and a coach is the thickness of a piece of paper, and if the coaching staff's tactics conflict with the interests of the star, then either compromise or get out.

……

After the start of the third quarter, after the run-in of the first half, the Knicks' defensive lineup became more and more airtight.

Although Sun Yi can't completely limit Rose's breakthrough, the team's tight defensive system allows the core of the Bulls to pass the ball to the perimeter again and again.

The away players, who had been prepared for a long time, repeatedly cut off Rose's breakthrough points and turned the opponent's mistakes into real scores.

In the face of this kind of high-pressure defense, the best way to crack it is to make a fuss in the low post. Coach Woy's defensive system is mostly aimed at the perimeter. As long as there is a big man with excellent low-post offensive ability, the Knicks' defensive formation will be forced to shrink, revealing a lot of outside gaps.

It's a pity that the Bulls don't have Joaquin. Noah or Brad. Miller is a playmaker center. They have a certain amount of low-level ability, but they are not proficient in it.

Bulls head coach De Nagro had to send a large number of perimeter shooters in an attempt to break the visitors' tight defensive system with three-point shooting tactics in order to solve the team's lack of offensive power.

This change is in the hands of the mustache.

The Bulls, who took the initiative to give up their inside advantage, were beaten by waves of fast attacks launched by Chinese guys. Sun Yi's talent for handling the ball at high speed was especially evident at this moment.

His sharp stops and turns during the sprint made 'Windy City Rose', who is also known for his speed, embarrassed. Soon, the game was one-sided.

89 to 67!

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the away team, which had already led by a large score, replaced the main lineup on the court in advance. The Chinese youngster, who got 26 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, although he failed to continue his previous personal record of scoring more than 35 points in 6 consecutive games, was able to win the game so easily, which still made him feel extremely comfortable.

When the game was over, Sun Yi took the initiative to run to his friend who was about to leave.

"Derek, would you like to find a place to have a drink or two today?"

Faced with the provocation of the Chinese guy chasing after him, the 'Windy City Rose' glared at the other party expressionlessly.

"Get out! Brother is not in the mood today. ”

"Haha, don't be so stingy, it's just a loss."

……

The contest between the two youth armies finally ended with the Knicks' victory. But this competition was completely overshadowed by the limelight of another game, or rather, by the limelight of another rookie.

This year's Bucks No. 6 rookie Brandon. Jennings, in the game against the Warriors, scored 55 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists alone, including 7 of 8 three-point shots, becoming the youngest 'Mr. 50 points' in NBA history. You know, this talented guard from Oak Hill High School, a famous basketball school, accomplished this feat without scoring in the first quarter.

The Knicks' next opponent is none other than the Milwaukee Bucks! (To be continued.) )
