Chapter 62: Elbow Pass

"The rookies in the past two years have been a lot worse than the previous years. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the chaotic scene on the field, Johnson also shook his head. The two teams on the field did not cooperate at all, and they played very casually. Especially on the first-year side, almost all of them are playing on their own, Francis and Odom take turns holding the ball to hit the inside, constantly contributing beautiful dunks, and the rest of the team has few offensive opportunities, especially the team's center Todd? McCloche barely touched the ball a few times, and Elton Brand, the team's strongest player, became a blue-collar rebounder.

The rules of the Rookie Challenge are similar to those of the NCAA, with two halves of 20 minutes each, and two mandatory timeouts in each half in the 7th and 14th minutes, with the first-year team trailing by 11 points at 16-27 after just over six minutes of play.

After the pause, the first substitution was made, with Jim Clemens putting Todd? McCulkey, Francis and Odom were all substituted, after the substitution, Brand was pushed to the center position, Meng Xu was pushed to the power forward position, the small forward is James Posey, the scoring guard Szzebiak, and the point guard Andre? Miller.

The Year 2 team also had a corresponding rotation, and Michael? Olovo Candi replaces Reeve? Lafrentz, Jason? Williams replaces Mike Bibby, Catino? Mobley replaces Michael? Dixon.

"Andre, give me the ball." After the two "tumors" of Francis and Odom went off the court, Brand became the only core on the court, so the tactic arranged by Jim Clemens was to pull away several outside lines, including Meng Xu, and use Brand to play the inside line alone, attract the opponent to wrap up, and then pass the ball to the outside, if the opponent does not wrap up, with Brand's back body ability, whether it is a single Michael? Olovocandi or Reeve? Lafrentz is very advantageous.

After seeing Brand asking for the ball, Andre Miller was also the first to pass the basketball over. Miller is not Francis and Odom, and he doesn't have the strength to compete with Brand right now.

Because of his height, which was obviously in a slight trend, after Brand received the basketball, he began to use his advantage in strength to hit Michael with his back? Olovo Kandi, as last season's top pick, Michael? Olovo Kandi has a very well-rounded technique, he can contribute 22.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.88 blocks per game in college, and is known as the next Olajuwon. Olovo Candi's performance was also unsatisfactory, although the average of 9 points and 8 rebounds per game was not bad, but as a top pick, playing such data can only be crowned as a parallel import.

Brand is taller than Michael? Olovo Kandi is more than 10 centimeters lower, but the weight of the two is not much different, and the low-post back-to-back single itself is Brand's best offensive means, so Michael? Olovo Kandi also can't stand Brand at all, but the 2nd grade team didn't wrap up Brand, the Rookie Challenge itself is an entertaining game, and it's only the first half now, to please the fans, the 2nd grade is also more casual, try to let the players of the two teams play one-on-one, so as to attract more fans.

After Brand scored, the sophomore team served quickly, Jason? After Williams received the ball, he quickly rushed to the front court.

"This kid's ball control is really flowery!" Following behind Williams and watching his fancy ball-control movements, Meng Xu thought of a burst of admiration in his heart while thinking that if he was in the Spurs, this kind of player would definitely be kicked away by Popovich unceremoniously.

After continuous acceleration, Meng Xu successfully intercepted Jason near the 3-point line? Williams, after seeing that Williams wanted to make a fancy back pass in front of him, Meng Xu did not hesitate to stretch out his arm to block Williams's passing route.

"What?" When he saw Williams's pass, Meng Xu was stunned, originally Williams wanted to make a back pass and pass the basketball to Paul Pierce on the right, just after the basketball was passed, it was found that Meng Xu had stretched out his arm in advance, almost in an instant, Williams leaned forward, threw his right elbow back, and hit the basketball very accurately, and the basketball instantly changed its flight path under the impact of the elbow, and the basketball that was originally to the right flew towards the left side of the body.

Nowitzki, who rushed up behind Williams on the left side, rushed directly into the penalty area after receiving the ball, and ended the attack with a two-handed dunk, while Meng Xu could only watch Nowitzki, who was supposed to be his own defense, rushed to the basket, but could not do anything.

'Very beautiful passes, Williams' pass was fantastic, how he came up with that idea. Kenny Smith, who was on the commentary bench, immediately stood up and shouted excitedly at the field.

"Yes, very nice passing." The magician on the side gave a rare applause for Williams, and the elbow pass turned out to be an elbow pass, this white boy was really incredible.

"Meng, don't put it in your heart." At this moment, Meng Xu was unhappy, the pass just now was really beautiful, if it happened to someone else, he would definitely applaud him like a magician, but now he has become the background emperor, and maybe it will appear in tomorrow's highlights. After seeing Meng Xu, who was a little unhappy, Szebiak also ran over to comfort Meng Xu.

"Boy, I'll let you go this time." After seeing the exaggerated celebration of the second-grade team, Meng Xu glanced at Williams and ran away.

On the offensive end, Brad Miller ignored Brand's request for the ball, but handed the ball directly to Meng Xu near the left bottom line, in Jim Clemens's tactical arrangement, although Meng Xu's position is to play power forward, but he does not do the work of a power forward, to say that the rebounding card position, even two Meng Xu can't get Nowitzki, so Jim Clemens's request to Meng Xu is to move around the two bottom corners, pull Nowitzki out, and let Brand have more space to single Michael? Olovo Candi.

After receiving the ball, Meng Xu threw a grateful look at Brad Miller, obviously hoping that he could fight back against Nowitzki.

After Meng Xu held the ball, Nowitzki did not step forward to press, but put Meng Xu a meter away, Meng Xu's movement speed is very good, and his athleticism is far beyond himself, so Nowitzki did not dare to rush forward, once he was passed, his back was completely empty.

"Is this underestimating me?" Seeing Nowitzki put himself at such a distance, Meng Xu was very unhappy, you must know that I am also a very good pitcher now, you don't take me in your eyes like this, the baby is very angry.

Meng Xu took a big step back with the dribble, retreated outside the 3-point line, and threw the basketball in his hand directly against Nowitzki, who pounced.
