Chapter 167: A Rookie Game Like No Other

Chu Xuan angrily scolded the ESPN reporter, which caused a lot of waves before the All-Star Game, and the discussion about Chu Xuan instantly became extremely intensive.

Many people feel that Chu Xuan should not be angry with these reporters who always like to pick up ashes. And there are also some people who feel that Chu Xuan is doing the right thing, and as a man, he should be tougher.

"If this matter rests on me, and someone dares to make irresponsible remarks, I will beat him."

As the president of the rookie game, O'Neal said without hesitation in an interview.

Obviously, he also supported Chu Xuan. In other words, although racial discrimination is serious in the United States, not everyone is a racist.

Chu Xuan's reaction was very strong, but it was reasonable, after all, it was a matter of men's dignity.

When he learned that O'Neill was in solidarity with him, Chu Xuan's good impression of the big shark in his heart also increased a few points.

When asked by ***'s sideline reporter, Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Shaq is a good person, he stands on the right side. Grateful for everything he's saying now. ”

Since the incident happened a few inches shorter, the news about Chu Xuan has become today's headlines, and the attention it has received can be said to be huge. And the heat also overshadowed today's rookie game.

But All-Star Weekend was the theme after all, and as time went on, the rookie game finally got started.

After seeing the players from both sides on the field, Chu Xuan's expressionless face couldn't help but show a hint of excitement, and the beginning of the game made him lift his spirits.

Chu Xuan's seat was in the second row, which happened to be next to the bench of the Webb team, so he knew the Webb team's every move very well.

And next to him, sitting is Phil Webb, the Lakers' first assistant coach.

"Chu, Webb's offense is very disadvantaged, they don't have a shooter, which makes it difficult for them to score." Phil Webb offered his opinion.

Webb's starters were Burke, Waiters, McGee, Davis and Knoll. Among these five players, there is no one who is good at shooting. Considering the style of play in the rookie game, it can be said that almost no one thinks that Webb can have the upper hand in this game.

Chu Xuan's reaction was calm: "Who said that the rookie game can only rely on shooting?" You know, the Webb team has his strengths. If it were me, I would emphasize defense and strengthen the interior offense. After all, Norris and Anthony are both very athletic interior players, and it's a great thing to bring them together. ”

Hearing what Chu Xuan said, Phil Weber was suddenly surprised: "What? Defend! God, if you were a coach, would you really do that? It's just so unusual. ”

Chu Xuan smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "What's that, the old calendar is always used to break, I don't think there's anything unusual about strengthening the defense in the rookie game." ”

Seeing Chu Xuan's serious appearance, Phil Webber laughed helplessly, as if he was really making a fuss. You know, he has been working with Chu Xuan for a few months, isn't it clear that Chu Xuan's character?

Thinking like this, Weber was not surprised: "Chu, fortunately you are not a coach today, otherwise, God knows what kind of defensive battle you will direct." ”

"But, Phil, I've already suggested it to Chris Webber, and it seems like he's going to do it."

**********

In the extremely beautifully decorated arena and the tsunami of fans, the rookie game is already in full swing.

When the game was played for several rounds, the unanimous reaction of the fans was surprise and exclamation.

The commentators from different countries and media expressed their opinions enthusiastically.

"What the hell is this? Got it serious? ”

"It's weird that kind of defense makes me feel like I'm watching a regular-season game."

"Is this a Valentine's Day surprise from Chris Webb and Grant Hill? They were so serious about this game. Could it be that both men want to show their respective coaching abilities? ”

"Defensive wars? It's fun to play like this, it's finally not the same cookie-cutter competition as in previous years. ”

The shooting game turned into a defensive game, which made everyone react very big.

Everyone is used to the usual All-Star Weekend, and today's scene really makes people feel a little sudden.

However, the competition in the competitive arena is often only full of competition and will be full of highlights.

And now, the Hill team and the Webb team are so unexpectedly serious about defending and playing, which immediately makes people feel novel, and thus full of desire to watch the game.

Speaking of this defense, it was the Webb team that took the lead in provoking.

And the Hill team was caught off guard by the Webb team without any preparation.

By the time Grant Hill reacted, the first half had already played more than six minutes, and the Webb team relied on Davis's power to take a 14-8 lead.

When the players left the game, Chu Xuan heard Chris Webber's voice: "Boys, you guys are doing a great job." But I see you guys are a little embarrassed? ”

Seeing that no one spoke, Webb continued: "You know, this is the game, and in order to win, you have to defend. So, don't be embarrassed, you have to keep defending and focus on their perimeter players. ”

After Webb finished speaking, he motioned for the players to rest for a while and wait for the game to resume.

At this point, Phil Webb said, "I didn't expect this guy to do that, well, I think Grant will definitely hate Chris." He's going to mess up this exhibition match. ”

Chu Xuan laughed: "Mess up? I don't think so, I think it's a lot of fun. ”

"However, if you play like this, Grant's advantage is very small, and it will be difficult for him to win."

The Hills are offensive players and aren't very good at defending. Especially on the inside, the combination of Bennett and Thomas Robinson is completely incomparable to the combination of Davis and Knoll.

"The strength of the Hill team is on the outside, and if Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter and others really shoot away, it doesn't necessarily mean who will win."

"One thing is for sure, though, it's going to be a great game today."

As Chu Xuan said, the subsequent game was indeed carried out like this. The Hill team still adheres to the outside offensive tactics of Lillard and others under the strengthened defense. And the Webb team, this is insisting on attacking the inside.

However, neither side was particularly efficient, and the game was quite close as a result.

Davis is still playing, and his mid-range shooting has become a steady firepower for Webb. As for the Hill team, Lillard didn't have the full firepower he imagined, and his hand was not particularly good.

In this case, the first half ended quickly, and Webb led Hill by five points at 45:40.

Davis was 6-of-7 from the field and finished with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Noll was 2-of-4 for 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal. (To be continued.) )
