Chapter 16 The situation is not good

Even in the face of such a blatant black-box operation, in the face of such a bad grouping situation, and in the face of such a huge disparity in strength, Yi Feng still firmly believes that he can win the final victory.

After unexpectedly learning that Porzingis and Booker were among his teammates, he was even more confident of winning. And there is no interim coach to dictate and affect his progress to victory.

At ten o'clock, the 5-on-5 match officially began.

On the RED side, the five starting XI faces were full of confidence, as if the victory in this game was already within reach. And among them, Russell may have the most complicated feelings, with happiness, with ecstasy, with hatred......

On the white team's side, Yi Feng took the lead towards the court. However, his expression was cold, and there was no psychological fluctuation in the slightest. But the other four starters were not like that, and they were all bitter. Because they think it's a must-lose game.

In their opinion, the game was unfair from the start. Although the level of his teammates is also good, most of them can play as starters in the NCAA, but the opponent's level is higher, and they can also play as starters in the NCAA team.

But there are strong and weak teams. On my side, they are all starters of weak teams, even starters of weak teams who can't enter the national championship. It's a different story, they graduate from universities, their varsity teams are regulars in national championships, and sometimes they even go to the final four.

It's like the grouping of this game, some things are already predestined.

Some people are born with a super learning ability and can learn everything faster than you; Some people are born with a good body, that is, they run faster than you, that is, they jump higher than you; Some people are born rich and prosperous, and they can enjoy glory and wealth even if they don't do anything......

God is so unjust that many people have been unable to close the gap in their natural lives, even with their entire lives.

Therefore, some people give up on themselves and spend their lives.

And some people, unwilling to be left behind, finally succeeded with their unremitting struggle.

The four starting rookies of the white team saw the talent gap between them and the red team players, and they also admitted that such a gap was a gap that they could not erase at the moment.

But they had to face opponents that they couldn't defeat. Then let the opponent step on his own position, get a higher status, get more attention, get more praise.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the tiger mountains. Their hearts are not brave and heroic, but full of helplessness and bitterness.

When they saw Yi Feng, who was the first to walk towards the court, the bitterness suddenly turned into resentment.

If it weren't for this damn Asian, the league wouldn't have split into two groups with such a huge disparity in strength to fight!

They won't be like now, they have to face the "strong jian" of the first-round show and can't resist!

You are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!

In that case, then hurt each other!

Several people touched their heads in private, and they could see each other's bloodshot eyes, the resentment that did not need to be concealed, and complained. Soon, they had a decision.

The game starts with the center jumping the ball.

Neither team's center is known for their athleticism, but 1993-born Frank Kaminski used his experience as an older rookie to beat India's Satnam Singh Bamara.

Known as the "Indian Yao Ming", Barmara is the first Indian player who is expected to make an impact on the NBA. Although he has a height advantage, he is tall and has long arms, and he looks half a head taller than Kaminski, but he was born in 1996 and is young after all, and he suffers from experience.

The red team won the first wave of offensive possession.

Russell and Moodier partner in the backcourt, and both are two-way guards, taller than traditional point guards but lower than shooting guards. The media predicted that the two would have similar draft picks, but Moodier would suffer slightly in the draft because of his one-year experience in the CBA.

So he automatically conceded possession and let Russell organize the offense, while he started running and pulling away defenders.

If according to the technical characteristics of the two, Russell is good at throwing and Moodier is good at bursting, it should allow Moodier to break through with the ball more and create offensive opportunities. Russell needs to ambush the outside line as a mobile battery.

The phenomenon of seniority is not only in China, but also in the United States. I want to be invincible Jordan God, the first time he entered the All-Star Game, because of qualifications, Xiao Young didn't get any chance to shoot, and he only scored 7 points on 2 of 9 shots.

Although Moodier and Russell are both rookies in the same class, Moodier gave up playing in the NCAA and went to low-level overseas leagues such as the Chinese CBA to pan for gold, which in the eyes of the American imperialist people is equivalent to giving up an opportunity to prove his strength.

Players who have not proven themselves in the NCAA are not recognized.

Russell, on the other hand, is different. He led his alma mater, Ohio, to the round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament, although he lost to the University of Arizona. But he also proved himself in the national championships.

So, for now, Russell is more qualified to distribute the ball than Moodier.

Because the players did not have any tacit understanding with each other and did not have any tactical arrangement, Russell's first goal was also very simple.

Pull away the singles.

Russell made a few gestures, and his teammates pulled away in playfulness to make room for singles.

As the biggest rookie in this joint training camp, Russell can enjoy that right.

At this moment, standing in front of Russell and defending him is Andrew Harrison of the White team.

Harrison is 193CM tall, and although he is not as tall as Russell, he is stronger than him and has an advantage in weight. Speaking of which, he is also a graduate of the University of Kentucky, and as the starting point guard at the University of Kentucky, he is also a teammate of Towns and Booker.

Harrison, a 13-year star player in the American high school, once participated in a short quiz with other top high school players about whether they could beat Michael Jordan in his prime, and Harrison said he could beat Jordan 11-7.

He dares to be so arrogant, and of course he has the strength to do it.

Harrison is good at attacking with the ball, and with a strong upper body, he can score against the basket. He also has a good vision and can pass good balls. But he has the common problem of basketball geniuses who have become famous for many years, and he is not good at defense.

For Russell's breakout, he was easily shaken off the center.

Even with Russell's breakaways, Harrison's defense was torn apart by his two cross-steps and a realistic feint.

Russell's speed after breaking through was not exaggerated, but there was no one to help with the basket. They all watched him attack the basket. Yi Feng was taken away by Moodier and was powerless to return to the sky.

"Huh!"

Russell makes a light pick-and-roll.

Sure enough, he has average physical fitness and a good height, but he doesn't buckle in the face of empty baskets.

That's what a lot of people think on and off the field.

The first step of breakthrough is not fast, and the explosive power is average; When jumping to the basket, the height and stagnation are also average; It's not bad to pick up the basket, and the wrist is quite soft. I can't see where his physical fitness is better at all, and it seems that all the rumors in the outside world are fake news.

You know, this is a show, and the task of the rookie on the field is to show himself to the fullest. If Russell can dunk it beautifully, why not?

Obviously, he can't deduct it.

Or the ability is not enough, dare not deduct, afraid of making a fool of yourself.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he may be beaten up. After all, it's a show, just fight casually, it's not good if you take it too seriously and get hurt.

But when you think about it, that's too unlikely. After all, it was Yi Feng who was standing in front of him now. He and Yi Feng are on the same page in public opinion, and it is unlikely that there will be a situation of leaving hands. Even if he doesn't want to play to his full strength, the American imperialist people standing behind him will not agree, and his brokerage company will not agree.

Harrison possessed the ball past half court and ignored Yi Feng's request.

He faced Russell's defense and responded bluntly with an answerball.

Russell is also strong in attack and weak in defense, and there is not much to do in the face of Harrison's breakthrough. A disguised in front of the body, although the speed is not fast, but the strength advantage allows him to run over Russell and directly break into the inner line.

The red team also did not help to defend, and even the big man on the inside only pretended to stretch out his hand, allowing Harrison to score a goal unhindered.

The two sides played three rounds in a row, all of which were very simple, and they were all individual singles without cooperation. But all of them were scored, and the hit rate was extremely high.

The score was 6:6 drawn.

And in these three rounds, Yi Feng did not touch the ball. A few times in a row the ball was ignored, and only a few sets of switchbacks were made.

On the white team's side, the ball has been firmly in Harrison's hands, and it has never been passed, and he has hit consecutive layups. For the red team, Russell scored two goals, Moodier missed a layup under Yi Feng's defense, and then Kaminsky hit a layup for the red team.

Giles Taylor sat in the stands with a blank face.

In fact, he was a little disappointed.

For the trial of this joint training camp, the league wants to reform with great fanfare. But as the final finale, the competition did not show a different appearance from previous years.

The rookies still think of it as an exhibition game, and most of them don't work hard. The ball is still firmly in the hands of the defenders, and the interior players are completely denied the opportunity to shoot. And there is a lack of communication between teammates, so there is no decent tactical coordination at all.

Not to mention the display of leadership temperament.

After a few more rounds, the situation on the court still hasn't changed.

It can be called different, but the singles person has changed.

That's all.

However, one of the two most eye-catching people in the confrontation, Yi Feng still didn't get a chance to shoot, and he still didn't even touch the ball.

At this time, 4 minutes had passed in the first half of the matchup, and the score was 16:10, and the red team was ahead.

After all, the overall strength of the red team is higher, even if the five starters on the court take turns to play singles, there are not many that the white team can really defend.

As a result, the red team began to gradually pull the score apart.
