The head coaches of both sides of the Rookie Challenge are not the head coaches of NBA teams, but two assistant coaches. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The two assistant coaches were recommended by the head coaches of each team, the first-year head coach is Steve Clifford, who is an assistant coach of the Spurs, and the second-year head coach is Tom Thibodeau, who is an assistant coach of the Rockets.

When Clifford took over as the head coach of the rookie game, he heard from his seniors who used to be the head coach of the rookie game that this job was very easy to do, except for changing people, just sitting and enjoying the best position to watch the game.

Now Clifford finds that it's really easy to do, and he really just needs to watch the game.

Because Ye Han took the tactical board directly from the staff and called his teammates together to discuss, he didn't care about him as the head coach at all.

The same is true of Thibodeau on the other side, watching James hold the tactical board and discuss with his brothers how to fight, completely ignoring him.

Soon, the game began, and the two starters came to the field.

The starting lineup in the second year is enough to compete for the championship, and in a year or two this lineup will definitely be the biggest favorites for the championship, provided that the team can win these people, but it is obviously a little unlikely.

The second-year starters were Hinrich, Wade, Anthony, James, and Bosh.

The first-year side is a lot inferior, Iguodala plays point guard, Ye Han scoring guard, small forward Roel Deng, power forward Okafor, and center Howard.

"Ace, pass me a few balls in a moment, I want to dunk!" Howard came to Ye Han's side and said with a smile.

"We're here to win, not to dunk." Ye Leng said coldly, he was now all focused on how to win, and he didn't notice the expectant eyes of Howard, who was only 19 years old and a child.

Howard was stunned, and he was very aggrieved, he had the impression that the All-Star was a big party of stars, and it was a rookie game, and he just wanted to dunk a few baskets.

But Howard was optimistic, he thought to himself: If you don't pass the ball to me, I'll grab it myself, and the skinny Bosh on the other side will definitely not be able to grab me.

Bosh was preparing to jump the ball and move his joints when he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him.

Poor Bosh was thus targeted by Howard, who had the physical qualities of the beastly stream.

At half past seven, the game officially began, and the two sides jumped the ball.

Howard easily won the jump ball on Bosh's head with an amazing bounce, and Bosh was already jumping high, but not quite a little worse than Howard, who was full of energy.

Iguodala received the ball and wanted to dribble it to the front court to hand it to Ye Han, just like handing the ball to Iverson when he was in the 76ers, but as soon as he dribbled two steps, he looked up and saw the scene in front of him, and immediately picked up the ball and threw it to the basket.

Two seconds later, the scene erupted into loud cheers, the ball landed on the floor and bounced, and then Ye Han fell from the basket.

There was no celebratory action, Ye Han Kuku ran back to the halfcourt, ready to defend.

James looked at Ye Han, he was not surprised that Ye Han was so excited at the beginning, he had already guessed that Ye Han would not let them win easily.

Perhaps, James felt that Ye Han knew their minds and knew that they wanted to bring Anthony an MVP of the Rookie Challenge, and he was just going to destroy their purpose.

After receiving the ball from Hinrich, James immediately passed back to Hinrich and ran to the frontcourt.

Hinrich is a very mature player, he has played long enough in college, and is one of the few players in the new century to play four years in college. When he entered the NBA, he immediately had the ability to lead a team to victory, and even in this talented team, he was the best choice for the ball.

Hinrich advanced to the front court, and it was his teammate Roel Deng who defended him.

The lineups of the two sides are more peculiar, except for Hinrich, who has mature defensive skills and has a good ability to defend ball carriers, the other four defenses are not very good, they are all guys with empty physical fitness and poor defensive skills. The first-year side is completely different, and the five players who started out as defenders, from Iguodala to Ye Han, Roel Deng, Okafor, and Howard, are all among the best defensive players on their respective teams.

"Kirk, it's a terrible feeling to play against you, but I'm the teammate who knows you best, and I know your attacking habits too well." Roel Deng said as he was close to Hinrich.

Roel Deng stuck to Hinrich and worked together for more than half a season, he knows Hinrich too well, his physical fitness is average, he has no scoring ability after entering the interior line, and his interior shooting will reach 30 percent.

The only thing to watch out for is Hinrich's three-point shot, and his three-point shooting percentage is close to 40%.

"If you know my attacking habits, you should know my turns."

Hinrich was leaning on Rohr Deng with his left shoulder as he spoke, and suddenly slapped the ball down to his crotch, passing through his own crotch and the crotch of Rohr Deng behind him, and at the same time turned around and received it against Rohr Deng, and continued to rush inside.

After breaking through and getting inside, Hinrich looked for opportunities to pass the ball and he wanted to create opportunities for his teammates with the defense he attracted after the break.

There is no chance to pass! Hinrich was shocked to find that no one was helping him as he broke through, and the two inside pipes ignored him, except when he circled around the baseline, Okafor reached out and gathered on his shooting line, and everyone else stood in front of their own defenders.

Hinrich didn't dare to throw himself, and Luol Deng behind him was in hot pursuit.

What saddened Hinrich even more was that none of his teammates were running, all standing and watching him, waiting for the pass.

Only then did he remember that his three teammates on the outside were all uncles! Where are the masters who can play without the ball, they are all guys who can't play without the ball.

He hurriedly beckoned his teammates to run, but none of the top five picks in the '03 draft were masters who could play without the ball, and Bosh was on the inside, and he couldn't score in the three-second zone when he was stuck by Okafor.

The defensive strategy on the first-year side is very simple, no matter who the opponent attacks, the advantage of the first-year side is defense, although the All-Star Rookie Challenge is a show, winning or losing is actually not important at all. But when they saw Ye Han's eyes that he firmly wanted to win, and the desire to win between his words, they were also affected.

Why should you be a supporting role for a sophomore?

This is the reason why Ye Han wants to win this game, everyone regards the first-year group of people as a supporting role in the second-year to show his ability, he is very unhappy, he wants to destroy the other party's ideas.

This thought spread from Ye Han to everyone on the first-year side, all of whom are NBA geniuses, and they are only about 20 years old, who will really be willing to admit that their opponents are better than themselves?

So the first grade here is really defended! The offensive time was running out, and Hinrich had no chance to pass the ball on his dribble, and the 24 seconds were about to come, and he could only shoot against the defense.

"Smack"

Howard slapped Hinrich's shot, and with two seconds left, Howard rushed past James and blocked just in time for Hinrich's shot.

“BI……”

The timer beeps and 24 seconds violated!

The fans at the scene and the commentators of the TV station that broadcast it were all taken aback, this group of young people in the first year was very different from the rookie army that was slaughtered during the All-Star Weekend in the past! (To be continued.) )
