Chapter Twenty-Four: Awkward Grouping!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the first 5V5 game officially began, and each game only played for 20 minutes, with no two halves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Qi was assigned to the first matchup, which shows that he has been valued by the teams, and the ten players in the first group can be said to be the most favored rookies by the teams, Zhang Zhu won a spot for himself with two consecutive days of outstanding performances.

"Boy, this is not a heads-up of luck, this confrontation is about the draft picks of the five of us, so you better perform better, we don't want to be held back by you." Starhouse was not convinced by yesterday's failure, and today he stood with Zhang Mao, and his attitude was still very arrogant!

"yes, I don't want to lose the game, you better play smart." Stoudemire also said on the sidelines, as if he had won yesterday.

"You guy, shouldn't you go to the toilet again in a while?" Reeves is obviously a white man, but when he sees Zhang Qi today, his face darkens.

When Zhang Qi saw this grouping, he immediately felt a pain, and secretly said how could he get a piece with these three guys?

In the first game, Zhang Zhu's red team consisted of: Damon Stoudemire, Jerry Stackhouse, Zhang Zhu, Kurt Thomas, and Bryant Reeves, which is a relatively stronger lineup on the outside.

The blue team has the opposite lineup, with a relatively stronger or more favored interior lineup, with five men: Sean Lespert, Michael Finley, Kevin Garnett, Joe Smith and Rasheed Wallace.

The blue team is a set of three interior lineups, and they are all slender athletic elders, which belong to the flying stream.

On the other hand, the two interior lines of the red team are both large-tonnage power types, which is obviously a floor flow, and even the youngest Zhang Mao, who gave the impression yesterday that he was a small forward who tended to play on his back.

The red team's chubby white center Bryant Reeves, nicknamed "Big Country", is not fast, but he is skilled under the basket, very lethal in back-to-back singles, and good in the low post, with his height and huge weight will be extremely lethal, is one of the lottery shows in the world, can almost lock in the top 15 to be drafted, and is also one of the strongest players in the rookie inside.

The other interior player on the red team, Kurt Thomas, is a defensive expert who made a name for himself in college, has an extremely good low-post defense, has a good instinct for rebounding, is a level-headed, experienced and excellent defensive interior lineman, and has more hand-to-hand shooting skills than the average blue-collar player, so he can be called the "best blue-collar".

This lineup is relatively reasonable, with offense and defense on the inside, and the outside line brings together the two strongest fighters in this year, as well as an underrated genius high school student.

However, Zhang Wei felt very bad, he had a hunch that the two guys he offended yesterday would probably not pass him easily today, and he might be isolated by these damn Yankees......

However, the grouping arranged in the trial camp itself is not malicious, if there is, it is even more unfriendly to the blue team, they have three lanky interior lines with similar functions, so who will go to the basket to resist Reeves' low-post attack?

Ten years later, the name Bryant Rivers has long been known to few people, but the "big country" of this club is the strongest player in all the interior lines of this year, he has the most important low-post technology in the interior of this era, and he is still a guy with height and tonnage, so the comparison of the strength of the two groups of lineups is obviously more reasonable and stronger for the red team.

"Wait a minute, that guy is playing the third position, isn't he going to play against me?" Zhang Yu saw Garnett facing him, and he breathed a sigh of relief, he had a clean sheet yesterday, which should be good news for him.

Garnett stood in the middle of the field, and Zhang Yu could also see that he was taller than Rivers, who was 213cm tall, and at least 10 cm taller than himself.

He also noticed that when everyone remeasured his height before the game, the guy was hunched over, as if he was hunchbacked, clearly trying to hide the height of his center and was afraid of being sent to play inside.

But as soon as he weighed it, Zhang Yu was relieved, this guy who was only 215 pounds was only two or three pounds heavier than himself, and he also tried this Garnett's strength yesterday, but it turned out that whether it was static power or dynamic power, he was not his opponent, and he was still determined today!

"Stand firm, don't let the wind blow away for a while." Although Zhang Qi didn't feel good and was worried that he wouldn't be able to get the ball, he still habitually threw a trash word at Garnett after he got on the court.

Garnett saw Zhang Fu, his heart was not calm, he has not yet let go of Zhang Fu, who may be excluded, yesterday's tragedy He needs a long time to digest, and now he is provoked by Zhang Fu in person, he lacks "trash talk" skills to defend himself, he doesn't know how to fight back, one word can sum up Garnett at this time - "tender".

On the sidelines, the top management of the four California teams has been asking the teams in the lottery area about the feasibility of the deal since the day, and they know that it is impossible to use the second-round pick to pick up the bargain now, and it is difficult to select Zhang Qian without a top-15 pick, provided that this kid's performance today is average.

So, many of the team's top brass have seen a similar scene many times today, and those California team executives will immediately approach them with a sneaky face and ask secretly, "That's the ...... I'd like to ask...... Do you have that ...... Is that the ......? ”

Even the ever-sharp-eyed Don Nelson is actively discussing the possibility of a trade with teams in the lottery area that don't lack a striker, and he has a bigger plan, even wanting to trade the 33-year-old Ewing for a top-three draft pick and rebuild directly with Zhang Zhu as the core.

This can only be said that this crazy experimenter is really crazy, and there are really few people in this alliance who dare to play as hard as him!

Unfortunately, Don Nelson's ridiculous idea was met with strong opposition from the team's general manager, otherwise the Warriors, who had the No. 1 pick, would likely agree to the deal because they were missing a top-tier interior lineman.

It's a deal that takes a lot of time and a lot of luck to develop a talent into a superstar, and the most common thing is to find out after a few years that the player's potential is not enough to be the cornerstone of the team, which is tantamount to wasting years of life and having to start all over again.

So, they might as well trade a first-pick pick for a superstar like Ewing who is just starting to decline, and that gorilla can maintain an All-Star caliber for at least three seasons, and the Warriors will have the strength to challenge for a championship immediately after the trade.

The teams on the sidelines have their own thoughts, and the game on the field is almost starting.

Today's first 5v5 game attracted the attention of almost all teams, and among the 60 rookies who participated in the tryout, everyone knows that on paper alone, Kevin Garnett should have the most potential at the moment, but if he is really selected, it will be a big risk.

In the same position, compared to the more mature Joe Smith, Antonio McDèce, and Rasheed Wallace, it is much less risky to pick these three college-trained interior players than to pick a high school student with no physical talent, so in the case of other options, it is difficult for Garnett to enter the top three, as long as the team with a normal brain is selected, it will be safe at this time.

Zhang Zhu is the same thing, and he is not an American, and he has not undergone college training, so it will be more risky to choose him in the lotto area. Even if he excels in physical testing and heads-up, it only gives him the strength to impact the lotto zone, but it is still basically hopeless to break into the top three, unless it is a madman like Don Nelson who holds the top three draft picks.

The current situation is that if Zhang can continue to perform well in the 5v5 round, then he may be able to stabilize his draft market in the lottery zone, which is a possibility of picking 6th to 15th. But if you want to be in the top five, it's almost impossible. Who has made a lot of good inside seedlings in the lotto area this year, and Stackhouse is more popular than him, so Zhang Zhu's hope of breaking into the top five is very slim.

This 5v5 match also uses shooting to decide who will attack first, and Stoudemire said with a smile to Zhang Fu: "Boy, go ahead, I remember you won in this link." ”

Zhang Wei was extremely unhappy in his heart, saying this as if he hadn't won in other links, as soon as he heard such a tone, he didn't want to move.

But if you think about it, it seems that it is not possible to go, which will isolate you even more.

Of course he doesn't care about being isolated, but he has to show something in this game, now the ball is not here, the situation is stronger than people, and he can only endure it if he is unhappy.

"You bastards, whoever has offended me, Lao Tzu has remembered it, and if I find a chance in the future, I will definitely pay it back!" Zhang Qian could only vent his dissatisfaction in his heart, saving himself from being angry again.

However, Stoudemire was not wrong, Zhang Qi's fixed-point shooting was really accurate. BLU's Michael Finley had a good shot, but after three rounds of shooting and shooting each other, Zhang Mao was the better at the end and decided on the fourth pitch to once again maintain a complete victory at that stage.

After the game started, Zhang Yi soon found that he guessed correctly, Stoudemire really didn't plan to pass the ball to him, who called Stackhouse is already a very good point to the ball, plus the inside Fox can hold the ball in the low post, these two alone are enough for him to cooperate, not to mention that he himself is also one of the most sure ball-holding breakthrough points on the court.

Among the 60 rookies on the scene, if Stoudemire dares to be the first in terms of the ability to break through with the ball, no one dares to be the second.

As a result, Zhang Mao and blue-collar Thomas naturally couldn't catch the ball.

In particular, Zhang Wei can touch the basketball five minutes into the game, and he is not as good as Kurt Thomas, who is defending full-time, and most of them are difficult to attack in positions and timing.

But what embarrassed him was that the red team easily led the blue team by 6 points with only three players.

"What a piece of rubbish!" Zhang Wei spread his anger to the other side in his heart, he felt that if his side was lagging behind, then his exclusion might cause dissatisfaction among the trial organizers on the sidelines or the senior management of each team.

But now that they are ahead, naturally no one will say anything, and some people may wish that he did not perform in 5v5 and will fall to a lower position.
