It's game on! Bai Xiaofei picks the ball to beat Monroe!

Paul took the ball to organize the offense, and now the game of the Hornets has begun to take some shape, the game just started with Paul leading the whole team to play tactics, to the end of the first quarter to the beginning of the second quarter, by Iverson, Thorton with the bench to play, said so, but in fact, Iverson played alone, Thorton purely became a three-point shooter.

Paul's first attack decided to give Bai Xiaofei, Paul is not old this year, but his mind is very clear, he also understands that the main task of this season is to test Bai Xiaofei's ability, after all, the team owner is Chinese, the manager is Chinese, and will definitely focus on cultivating several Chinese players.

Bai Xiaofei hit Monroe on his back, Monroe is 211 cm tall, about the same as Bai Xiaofei, but his weight is only 114 kg, more than 20 kg less than Bai Xiaofei, Bai Xiaofei according to Manson's teaching, use his back to detect Monroe's strength to defend himself, his strength is lighter than Bai Xiaofei himself feels, so Bai Xiaofei decided to play by himself, dribbled twice, and at the same time arched to the inside line with all his strength, Bai Xiaofei's huge weight made Monroe, whose strength was not outstanding, retreat!

Bai Xiaofei killed in the paint area, didn't even feint, and directly turned right to hook his hand to shoot! Monroe's physical fitness was not to snatch it, Bai Xiaofei's heavy body made Monroe jump up and couldn't touch the ball, and the basketball flew out of Bai Xiaofei's fingertips!

"Huh!"

The ball is in!

Monroe spread his arms helplessly.

Bai Xiaofei just relied on feeling when he shot the basket, to be honest, although Bai Xiaofei's right hook hand was a little accurate when he usually trained, but when he stood on the floor of the game, Bai Xiaofei forgot all the technical links, and the shooting was all based on feeling, and he didn't know how the ball was scored! Bai Xiaofei seemed to be a little incredulous, Paul ran over and patted Bai Xiaofei's buttocks.

"Chinese dinosaurs! Just hit it like that! ”

The corners of Bai Xiaofei's mouth finally showed a gentle smile.

In the piston round, the tip of the needle was against Maimang, and the young Monroe was obviously very unconvinced, no matter how he said that he was also famous in the United States when he was in college, how could he easily let a nobody go wild on his head!

Monroe takes the ball, facing this Bai Xiaofei, Monroe's back skills are relatively poor, but he has rare dribbling skills for big men, and his face frame skills are relatively good, which can cause very effective damage to the opponent!

Monroe hunched over with the ball, clamped the ball on the left rib, and shook it from side to side, Bai Xiaofei spread his arms according to the defensive posture that Manson taught him, stretched out his arms, steadied his horse steps, and stared at the basketball in Monroe's hand with his eyes.

Suddenly, the basketball on Monroe's left hand was pushed to the right, Bai Xiaofei instinctively thought that he was going to break through to the right, leaned his body to the side, but he pounced, Monroe's right hand slapped the basketball to the left again, he used a very realistic dribbling feint commonly used by guards to deceive Bai Xiaofei, Monroe's first step was relatively fast in the big man, and it was too late for Bai Xiaofei to react, Monroe entered the inner line, took three steps, jumped up, and scored with one hand!

More than 20,000 fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills erupted in applause and the sound of beer glasses clattering! And Bai Xiaofei was still standing in place in a daze, watching Monroe's dunk.

Monroe walked in front of Bai Xiaofei without looking back.

In the next round, Bai Xiaofei once again backed Monroe, and then asked Paul for the ball, Paul did not hesitate at all, a blow to the ground, and the basketball was accurately delivered to Bai Xiaofei's hands, Bai Xiaofei carried Monroe on his back, squeezed in twice hard, turned forward, and shot with his right hook!

The same technical moves, the same process, and the basketball fell into the basket accurately again!

Bai Xiaofei actually singled Monroe twice to score! And it's the same move!

Auburn Hills Palace also had a small number of Hornets fans come to the scene to cheer for the Hornets, and at the beginning, Bai Xiaofei singled Monroe with the same technical moves twice in a row, which made them very excited! There was a standing ovation and cheers!

The head coach of the Pistons is named John Kuster, who studied under Larry Brown, a typical collegiate style of play, before taking over the position of head coach of the Pistons, Kuster served as an assistant coach with the Celtics, 76ers, Nets and Magic respectively, it can be said that he has a wealth of experience as an assistant coach, but it is the first time to take the position of head coach.

After Kuster saw Bai Xiaofei's explosion without warning in the field, he seemed to be talking to himself, "Tall, good physical fitness, rough offensive skills, no range outside the three-second zone, Ben, isn't this your favorite." ”

Ben Wallace shook his head and said, "I think we should stick to Monroe on the court at this time, otherwise it will lower the confidence of our young players, and it's only the first quarter ......."

"Can't let that Chinese play with momentum!" Kuster said categorically, "Ben, you play, give that Chinese some color!" ”

On the field, Monroe faced Bai Xiaofei, who was tall and moved relatively slowly, and exerted his mobility to the extreme! Receiving the ball at the free throw line on the right side, he broke through to the left after continuous feints and shaking, successfully attracting Bai Xiaofei's attention, and then made a right turn to score an easy low layup, Bai Xiaofei couldn't react at all.

In the next round, the Hornets did not play Bai Xiaofei again, but played the traditional Paul and West's blocking, Paul successfully attracted the two defenders, and then passed the ball back to the vacant West, West jumped!

The rebound slammed into the front of the basket, Monroe struggled to grab the rebound, and when he passed the ball to Starki, he was cut off by Ariza, who broke the ball off and passed it to Paul, who broke through with the ball! Starkey and Monroe are two people on the inside! Paul dribbled the ball behind him, and the basketball appeared in the hands of Bai Xiaofei behind Monroe! Bai Xiaofei's score on the basket is easy to play!

Bai Xiaofei's game is completely reborn! After three minutes on the court, he has scored six points on three shots!

"Toot toot!"

Kuster was obviously not very satisfied with Monroe on the inside, called a timeout, and everyone was confused, in fact, the Pistons did not show defeat, and Monroe played well on the offensive end.

"Monroe! Where is your defense! Come down and let Ben teach you well! ”

Monroe walked off the field with his head bowed and dejected.

Bai Xiaofei's game broke out a little, and the reason for this is the book that the old man gave to Bai Xiaofei - "The Shawshank Redemption", this book is in English, Bai Xiaofei first came to the United States after a month of English assault intensive practice, although he couldn't understand every sentence when he looked at this book, but after reading a paragraph, he also understood the general meaning.

In the first few years of prison, Andy, like Bai Xiaofei, once lost hope in life, surrendered and made the fate of others, but until a cellmate revealed that the person who killed his wife was another robber, Andy rekindled his desire for freedom, and used a very small pickaxe only used to polish stones, and spent twenty years digging through the passage from the inside to the outside, and the passage that could only be dug through the mouths of others for 200 years, and on a thunderstorm night, Escape from Shawshank Prison.

The more Bai Xiaofei looked, the more fascinated he became, and it only took one night to finish reading the book, in which Andy was at a low point in prison and decadent, Bai Xiaofei felt the same way, and the moment Andy escaped from prison at the end, Bai Xiaofei burst into tears, his tears were not only for Andy, but also for himself, turning the book to the last page, it was a message left by the old man himself.

"I always think that people who commit suicide are shameful and cowardly, they are not even afraid of death, what else will they be afraid of, cowardly people are always making excuses for themselves, and strong people will use their performance to crush all doubts and misunderstandings."

This sentence deeply stimulated Bai Xiaofei, and he wanted to use his actions to prove that he was not a cowardly person!

After the pause, Big Ben replaced Monroe, the thirty-six-year-old Big Ben was no longer the explosive head of a bunker back then, but changed to an ordinary furrow hairstyle, Big Ben rose 206 cm, weighed 109 kilograms, both height and weight were missing Bai Xiaofei a big circle, but Big Ben's eyes had inexplicable confidence, he reached out and sorted out the white hairband on his head, and said to Bai Xiaofei, "Young man, I will teach you this lesson today." ”
