Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 88 Love is Too Difficult

In this Rookie Challenge, the first-year starters are Curry, Evans of the Kings, Jennings of the Bucks, a three-guard lineup, and Casspi of the Kings and Blair, the short insider of the Spurs.

This lineup is better on the outside, but lacks on the inside. Casspi and Blair are both small players. The team has no real No. [-] at all, and there is only Gibson of the Bulls on the bench. Therefore, the outside world is not very optimistic about the first-year team.

After all, the second-year team has Lopez, the boss of the Nets, Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies, and Love, not to mention swingers like Gallinari and Beasley.

And they have Westbrook, one of the twin stars of the Thunder, Mayo of the Grizzlies, and Gordon of the Clippers on the outside, which can be said to be balanced inside and outside.

The second grade has abused rookies for seven consecutive years, and everyone feels that there is no problem this time, and the strength visible to the naked eye is stronger.

But Zhang Sixin knew that it turned out that this session in history really lost.

Westbrook, the second-year starter, was too active. As long as he was on the court, he had the ball in his hands, but it was impossible to get the ball out of Beasley's hands. The other three could be said to be playing with the two of them.

The first-year team did not have a pure point guard but did a good job of sharing the ball. The starting five and Harden on the bench played well and completely beat the second-year team.

Now the situation has changed slightly, Love replaced Beasley's starting position.

Love and Westbrook are college teammates. They should cooperate well, and there may be suspense.

Zhang Sixin is on the sidelines and has been introducing the characteristics of the players and the game to Yang Yuyu.

He can talk endlessly about this, and it took a long time before he felt that something was wrong. Is the girl willing to listen to this?
"You're not really interested in all kinds of basketball knowledge, are you? Haha... Do you still want to eat?" Zhang Sixin said belatedly.

"No, Brother Sixin, I like to hear you say these things. I feel that you are so good. You can see through the situation on the court. No wonder you can become the head coach of the NBA and lead the team so well." Yang Yuyu dragged her cheeks, and there was a trace of admiration in her eyes.

The beauty said so solemnly, who can resist?Zhang Sixin felt like he was going to float in an instant.

"Ahem..." Zhang Sixin restrained himself and maintained his adult demeanor.

If the other party doesn't feel disgusted, just continue chatting. Anyway, Yang Yuyu can't do other things here, so he can just concentrate on listening to Yang Yuyu's study or other interesting things.

He remembered that Yang Yuyu liked to chat about things, so he just took it as a compliment to each other.

At the beginning of the rookie game, Westbrook and Love completed the cooperation. Westbrook sent an assist and Love completed dunks. It seems that the second-year seniors have an advantage.

However, problems soon arose.

The second grade then competed with the outside line in the first year, and the combination of Curry, Evans and Jennings won.

Zhang Sixin understood it. It's not that Westbrook doesn't pass the ball, but that he has a problem with his rhythm.

He's not the type of playmaker who controls the pace, he holds the ball too long, and he doesn't shoot the ball really well.

Of course, Mayo is also a blacksmith, but he didn't play that much.

Due to the two sides fighting outside, the inside advantage of the second grade was not reflected at all.

Maybe the insiders in the second grade are also relatively shy, unlike Blair in the first grade, who actively asks for the ball and hits it when he gets the ball.

Compared with the All-Star Game, the defense in the rookie game is weaker. Many young players don't know the boundaries of performance, and they simply don't defend because they are afraid of using too much force.

In this case, Curry's basket is accurate and really takes advantage.

Although Curry hits the iron when he reaches the All-Star, isn't that without Zhang Sixin's education?

Now coming to the All-Star game for the first time, Curry played hard.

The Timberwolves have good grades, and the team's players have confidence in this situation, and the coach is willing to arrange tactics for them.

If you don't arrange tactics for stronger players, don't you don't understand the ball?

A group of young NBA players, except for Westbrook who works extraordinarily hard, or Beasley who doesn't care about his teammates at all, other players are more obedient.

And the two obviously different guys are in the same team.

"On the court, try to use the opposite side, otherwise it will be useless." Zhang Sixin said.

He still felt that there was suspense before, but looking at the play styles on both sides, he felt that the second-year team still had to kneel, let alone the first-year team Curry was stronger this time.

At the beginning, the first-year team didn't see a clear advantage, but as the rotation started and the second-year team began to play like Beasley, the first-year team had an obvious advantage.

A few substitutes in the first grade were obviously more honest and played very hard.

And there is a player with outstanding strength like Harden. Harden doesn't have so many possessions in the Thunder now, but he has begun to show his scoring ability and efficiency in the Rookie Challenge, which is obviously higher than other substitute players.

And the second-year team still has a big problem, that is, their internal and external lines are out of touch.

Not only do they have no offensive opportunities with their obviously strong inside line, they can't keep up with the speed of several defenders and strikers.

As soon as they ran over, the offense was over, and they didn't even have a chance to grab a rebound.

Love is very depressed. His offensive efficiency is obviously good, but most of the time he runs in reverse.

But looking at Lopez, who is similarly efficient, and Gasol, who is more efficient, is even worse, he can't say anything.

After all, his good buddy Westbrook in college still took good care of him, and deliberately passed the ball to him several times, but there must be a problem with the team's rhythm.

Zhang Sixin often emphasizes with the players that the Timberwolves players obviously understand how to win the game better than those high-ranking rookies trained by weak teams.

It's a pity that in this rookie game, Love couldn't make the team make adjustments.

On the one-year team, Curry and DeRozan are both backcourt players, and sometimes they can bring a rhythm.

It's really unfair. The two opponents he usually partners with are opposite each other, and Love feels too difficult.

Love is not the only one who feels difficult for the second-year team. Several European players don't want to play anymore. They feel that the American team is targeting them.

Zhang Sixin took a closer look. Compared with Westbrook, Beasley was more vulnerable. In this kind of loose defensive game, his shooting percentage was not very good. He probably had a good time with someone before.

When Westbrook makes the most three-pointers on the team, it is difficult for the team to play.

Of course, Westbrook is also the one who shoots the most three-pointers among the players, and he is always full of confidence.

During the intermission, Zhang Sixin had already signaled Curry to grab the MVP.

There is nothing wrong with Curry being selfish in this kind of game.

After all, his shooting percentage from the outside is much better than Westbrook.

He is now also playing the second position on the first-year team, responsible for scoring, and he also grabs good rebounds.

The first-year team without an inside line suppressed the second-year team with rebounds, and a few outside centers contributed a lot.
