Chapter 278: Grab Points!

Russell Westbrook sent a long pass, and Kevin Durant received the ball and dribbled straight away...... Middle!!! ”

The highlight of the 2012 NBA All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game, is underway. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

β€œYES――!!”

Westbrook, who sent a long pass, was in a good mood, and turned around and walked back to the defense with great force, swinging his hands and feet very much, which was quite a bit like O'Neill's overlord step.

"Yo, imitate you!"

Where would Barkley miss this heckling? looked back at O'Neill and said, "Look at people's good figures, they are much more handsome than you when they do this kind of action hahaha!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you make one for me to see better than me to see where to go?? ”

Not to be outdone, O'Neal was speechless, and Barkley, who had been bullied by Barkley for so many years, laughed out loud on the spot.

"Hahahaha...... It was just a collaboration between two players who are also from the Thunder! Very good show! ”

Controlling his smile, Smith said: "In this All-Star Weekend, the two giants of the Thunder were all selected, plus the head coach of the Western Stars, it is Brooks, the coach who led the Thunder to the second record in the West!" Presumably, the Thunder duo will have a good performance today, and maybe they will have a chance to impact AMVP! ”

"Grandma's bear ......!"

On the bench of the Western Star Team, Gu Yu was anxious, stomping his feet vigorously, and he couldn't wait to pull someone off the field immediately and top himself.

Originally selected as an All-Star substitute, most players don't have too many ideas. After all, All-Star Weekend is a stage to give back to the fans, and everyone's favorite stars have already voted as starters. Generally speaking, the head coaches of the two teams will also have a relative trade-off, and on the premise of not affecting the physical fitness and physical condition of the star players, they will let the starters get more opportunities to perform.

Since the fans love this group of starters, it proves that they are the most popular stars. Isn't it to see the all-star weekend to see the coordination between the stars, the wonderful individual performances, and some fancy moves that you can't see on the official court?

As the head coach of the All-Star team, it is naturally a beautiful thing to be able to lead the team to victory, but it is the most important job of the star team coach to meet the needs of the fans and let everyone see the most favorite performances.

"Although Brooks is a first-time All-Star, he seems to know the truth!"

On the side of the commentary stage, Smith continued: "Let the starters play a lot, remember to protect the players' bodies, and then on the bench, also select the more popular players to play, give them more opportunities to perform, so that you can better give back to the fans!" ”

"You mean, the head coach of the Western Conference All-Star team is the right one?"

Barkley asked.

"Of course it's right! Do you see what's wrong with Brooks? ”

Smith nodded.

"So on the bench of the Western Stars, it is clear that the hairstyle brother is the most popular, why hasn't Brooks let him play until now? ? Yes?! ”

Barkley was clearly prepared, and as soon as the question was raised, everyone fell silent.

"This ......"

Smith knew the answer, of course, but it was hard to say.

What's with?

Isn't it obvious yet!

Brooks is the coach of the Thunder, and he is not an old goblin like Zhuge Vic, even the All-Star Game has to give the Spurs players a "half-rotation" state, and then go up to the rest as soon as it means, and then kill the stars of other teams so "treacherous".

Brooks' idea is simple, since there is a chance to let his Thunder players perform more, of course let them play more!

Even Brooks, who is still a little immature in the All-Star game, is obviously tactically leaning. The rest of the players such as Kobe Bryant, Paul and others used as feints to attack, more ball-holding strategies, attracting defenders and sending passes, and letting Durant on his team run more and shoot and score when he catches the ball.

For a star like Kobe, it is best to score, but in the All-Star game, it is also beautiful to occasionally brush up on assists, and he will not care about juniors.

Not to mention, Paul is an assist backcourt himself, and passing is his best way to perform.

Among the rest of the players, Griffin only needs to deduct a few more to complete the task, and Bynum is purely here to play soy sauce, which is the result of the short man pulling the general. Nowitzki and Nashny are the bones of the fairy, coming to the All-Star Game with a vacation. Aldridge, Lefou, and Marc Gasol are not candidates to be the boss, and their personalities are relatively weak, and they will not have any opinions on this arrangement.

On the whole, as long as there is no moth, if the Western Army wins, Durant will get the highest score and win the AMVP, which is a high probability event.

On the other hand, Brooks was also a little selfish, and after the starting Paul and Kobe Bryant left the game, they did not rotate according to the normal rotation and replaced Westbrook and Gu Yu on the court, but enabled a dual-point guard lineup, with Nash and Westbrook on the court.

Nash is not the kind of player who has to fight for everything, he has come too many All-stars, and he can't be happy to give the ball to Westbrook, don't worry.

In this way, the ball on the court is basically concentrated in the hands of Westbrook, Durant finds space in various positions, receives the ball and attacks the basket when he has the opportunity, and involves the defense when he doesn't have the opportunity, giving Westbrook the opportunity to impact the basket.

Several insiders are all masters who play reasonably and respond to the spurt, and they are also happy to send passes, and they don't even care if they give up the backcourt rebounds to Wei Shao and push the fast attack directly - so that there are more rounds and a fast pace, and the game is better!

With such an operation, the court instantly turned into a two-person rotation of the Thunder and the Thunder, Wei Shao broke through, rebounded, and assisted, and Durant used various positions to shoot in various positions, and the score rose gradually. With less than half-time, both men already have pretty good stats.

"Good! The Eastern Army asked for a timeout, just in time for the TV pause, to see if the two sides will make substitution adjustments next! ”

β€œNICE-WORK!”

The players returned to the bench and high-fived their teammates, and the atmosphere on the pitch was quite harmonious.

"Coach Coach, when am I going to play??"

Only Gu Yu looked unhappy, stepped forward a few steps to Brooks' side, and said loudly: "The bench is too hard, it's very uncomfortable to sit on!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Everyone laughed, and they were all amused by Gu Yu's upright words, but they were also embarrassed in their hearts:

Hairstyle Brother ...... It's the middle of the second quarter, and you haven't played yet??

In the All-Star Game, there are 12 players on each team, and according to position, there are two teams of five people, and two people on each side are bound to play less time.

Generally speaking, the managers of both teams don't think about it at such times, and all the players will have playing time, at least 8 to 10 minutes - people are coming, and people can't even get a chance to play!

But Gu Yu's popularity is actually very strong in the west, and theoretically he should appear as the first substitute in the second position. But until now, Brooks has not let Gu Yu play, which is clearly the treatment of the eleventh and twelfth members of the team.

Don't......

The players looked thoughtfully at Brooks, all waiting for the manager's reply.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh, hairstylist. ”

Brooks pretended not to notice Gu Yu's existence just now, glanced back at Gu Yu and said, "Don't worry, although we are playing the All-Star Game, we also need to win, right?" In the first half, I will arrange for the main core to play more and try to widen the difference, and then in the second half we will win the game safely, and you will have a chance to play! ”

This......

Brooks's words are reasonable to deceive the layman, but the people present are all All-Stars, and they won't be able to hear the meaning of the words?

Translating Brooks's words, the meaning is clear:

Hairstyling brother, you can sit on the bench for me, and when it's garbage time, I'll let you play!

"This ...... This is clearly favoritism......! ”

In the media seat, Xiao Yu couldn't listen to it anymore, frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Pressing the most popular player on the bench and not letting him play, but letting the stars of his team get a lot of time to perform, does Brooks want Westbrook and Durant to get AMVP together??? ”

Xiao Yu's words resonated with many media people, and a reporter nodded on the spot: "It is very likely that it is not uncommon to share AMVP in history." If the West wins, Durant scores the team's highest score, and Westbrook scores a quasi-triple-double, it's really possible to share AMVP! ”

"Yes, and both of them are young and in good health, so it's not a problem for the All-Star Game to play for a while, so you don't have to protect them like veterans!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, these secrets that can't be told in public (such as in the live broadcast footage) are called a door in the eyes of a group of reporters who have been immersed in the NBA circle for many years. Brooks is clearly making such calculations, wanting to take advantage of the All-Star Game to seek honor and benefits for his players.

Although AMVP is not a great award, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and being able to get AMVP will definitely be beneficial to the future development of Durant and Westbrook.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What do you mean, coach? ”

Gu Yu is not a fool, the meaning of Brooks's words is very clear, and he frowned at the moment and said: "You mean, I will only hurt the team when I play, so that the opposite side will narrow the score gap??" Garbage time to let me play again, meaning I'm a player of that level?? ”

The smell of gunpowder instantly spread near the western bench, and the on-site director also noticed this detail and immediately gave the camera here.

"Hehe......"

Brooks didn't expect that Gu Yu would actually go to such a point, and bring these unspeakable things to the table, his face was a little unbearable, and he glared at Gu Yu and said, "You said this yourself, I didn't say that~!" ”

"You ......"

"We're almost 20 points ahead now, you and I, we both make a pact, or rather...... Make a bet. ”

Without waiting for Gu Yu to speak, Brooks simply tore off his mask and said coldly: "If the East chases the difference to within 10 points, I will send you on the court and give you the absolute right to shoot for a quarter of time, and see if you can lead the team back to more than 20 points." You did it, I didn't take you off for the whole second half, you can play however you want. If you can't, then don't think about playing in the next game. ”

"And if we stretch the margin to more than 30 points, I'll send you on the court as well. It doesn't matter what the tactics are, it's all up to you, and if the score difference continues to widen, I won't replace you anymore. But if the margin shrinks back to 20 points, you will still be on the court and will never play again. Hairstyle brother ......"

Brooks's eyes became extremely sharp, and he stared at Gu Yu with his chin closed and said, "Bet ......?" ”

"Don't take care of me like that."

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Anytime you replace me on the field, as long as the score difference narrows by even one point, you will replace me, and I will never ask to play again." But if the score difference is widened, I can play as much as I want. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes! ”

Brooks was angry, feeling the illumination of countless camera lenses nearby, his face was hot, he only felt that he was being put on a stand by Gu Yu, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it...... decided!" ”

"A word is a deal, I hope you won't break your word."

Gu Yu nodded, sat back on the bench, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said no more.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh? ”

On the other side of the court, Chen Mu, who was blowing water with his teammates, noticed the abnormality of the western bench, and after taking a look, he smiled at the corner of his mouth and nodded slightly.
