Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 410 He can definitely become a superstar
In the locker room of the West team, there was a burst of laughter. Coach Steve Kerr's theory of "pushing hard, throwing hard" made everyone amused.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Cole said is right. The All-Star is different from other games. From No.1 to No.12, there are stars in every position. No matter what tactics the coach wants to play, outside or inside, he can find suitable candidates.

After all, there are only 24 people selected from the East and West, which means that there are at least 6 teams whose star stars cannot make it to the All-Stars, let alone a team like the Golden State Warriors who has a perverted team with 4 players.

"Coach Cole, can you put my Downs on the field together?" Cousins ​​raised his hand and asked.

Cole nodded: "No problem."

Cousins ​​asked again: "Can you put me and Yuan Qingshan on the court together?"

Cole continued to nod: "No problem."

Unexpectedly, Cousins ​​raised his hand again: "Can senior Davis be included?"

Yuan Qingshan, Cousins, Towns and Anthony Davis, these 4 people are from the University of Kentucky Wildcats.

This time Cole smiled wryly and said, "You might as well be the coach."

Seeing Cousins' embarrassment, everyone laughed again.

Westbrook smiled and asked: "Also, can you not put the Warriors on the field at the same time?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed more happily. Durant turned his head slightly and gave Westbrook a meaningful look, his eyes full of stories.

Cole said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are all head coaches, all of you!"

The eastern side is relatively more serious. Coach Stevens is not Cole's kind of jumping character. Although he is very young, he is usually used to being meticulous, like an old academic.

Everyone was concentrating on arranging their equipment. Only James and Wade were whispering in the corner. Stevens glanced at them and said nothing.

In fact, he now hopes that someone can stand up and liven up the atmosphere. After all, it is an All-Star game now, why is it so tense, like a last stand?

Different from the slightly quiet office area, the stadium has already been lively. Tonight is a carnival for all the fans. The New Orleans locals are the mainstream, and Anthony Davis's No. 23 jersey is everywhere.

In the commentary seat, O'Neill couldn't wait any longer, and kept getting up and looking towards the player tunnel.

"Why haven't they come?" O'Neill complained.

Barkley: "Why are you so anxious, I haven't seen you so hard every year."

O'Neal took a look at the lineups of both sides: "Because there are people I pay special attention to this year."

Barkley: "All-star rookie, let me guess, Towns?"

O'Neal shook his head: "No, it's Yuan Qingshan."

Barkley nodded. He was also looking forward to Yuan Qingshan's performance. Last year, Yuan Qingshan was able to win the best rookie award after a season of hard work as a rookie at the end of the first round, which showed that this kid is really good.

dong dong dong, dong dong dong.

Intensive drums were beating, and the protagonists of the 2017 New Orleans All-Star Game finally entered the arena.

All the lights on the ceiling of the stadium were extinguished, and a beam of chasing light was cast on the entrance of the player tunnel.

The first figure flashed, tall and big, and kept waving to the auditorium as soon as he entered the arena.

The fans cheered and screamed, and the big screen showed a close-up. The first player to play was the host, Anthony Davis, the star of the New Orleans Daigos.

Immediately afterwards came the starters and substitutes of the Western team. Westbrook was at the top of the bench, followed by Yuan Qingshan, Thompson and so on.

LeBron James is the leader in the Eastern Conference, and Wade is the first to appear on the bench.

The lineups of both sides are shown on the big screen.

Western starters: PG Stephen Curry, SG James Harden, SF Kawhi Leonard, PF Kevin Durant, C Anthony Davis.

Western Substitutes: Yuan Qingshan, Russell Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Chris Paul, Marc Gasol, DeMarcus Cousins, Karl-Anthony Towns.

Eastern starters: PG Kyrie Irving, SG Jimmy Butler, SF DeMar DeRozan, PF LeBron James, C Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Eastern Substitutes: Dwyane Wade, Kyle Lowry, McConley, John Wall, Paul George, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh.

DJ introduced every player who will be on the stage. He did a lot of homework in advance, and the string of words was very exciting, which attracted applause from the fans.

The pre-match procedures were completed, and the field was already extremely hot, and the starting lineups of both sides made their debut.

It will be Anthony Davis and LeBron James who will be doing the jump ball.

Yes, the audience read it right, the Eastern Conference did not select a traditional center forward, and Bosh, the only one who played a serious center, did not have enough votes to make it into the starting lineup.

The referee Jamal patted James, then patted Anthony Davis, looked left and right and said, "Are you ready to perform? You must get the scale right later. Don't let the water be too obvious."

Both James and Davis were amused. The All-Star game is an exhibition game. It is tacit that no one will risk their lives to guard against death. However, it is still a bit funny to say this from the mouth of the referee.

Jamal's eyes kept scanning the expressions on the faces of James and Davis, taking advantage of their momentary opportunity, he suddenly threw the ball into the sky.

"Damn!" Anthony Davis couldn't help spraying, and jumped up quickly.

James didn't use all his strength. He knew how abnormal Anthony Davis' body was, so he just thought about it, and ran to defend Durant after landing.

Antetokounmpo had no choice but to post Anthony Davis. He felt that he had trained his muscles very well, but compared with others, he was a younger brother.

Anthony Davis gave the ball to Harden, and Harden turned around and handed it to Curry.

Curry faced Irving in the middle circle. The scene in last year's finals was reproduced, and the fans cheered excitedly.

After losing the championship in the 73-win season, it was a lie to say that he didn't mind. Curry pursed his lips and pushed to the top of the arc, briefly looked at the position of his teammates, and then made a sudden shot.

Owen was caught off guard and wanted to pounce on the block, but he didn't even touch the shadow of the ball.

The basketball pierces the air and accelerates into the hoop.

"Three-pointers from a super long distance, come up is a killer move, this game is going to be good." Barkley couldn't help saying, thinking in his heart, if he had a teammate like Stephen Curry back then, wouldn't he worry about not having a championship?

O'Neill wasn't as excited as he was, and said flatly, "Irving can't guard against this kind of ball. If the kid Yuan Qingshan is here, maybe he can give it a try."

"You think highly of him," Barkley said.

O'Neal said bluntly: "In two years, he will definitely become a superstar!"

Barkley secretly counted his fingers. What does O'Neill mean to say that Yuan Qingshan can become a superstar like Curry within three years of entering the league?
