King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 54 Returning to New Jersey

The New Jersey Nets, He Yixiang was traded to the Kings after being selected by this team this year. At that time, the Nets promised to choose him, but in the end they chose, but they yearned for Evans more.When Yi Jianlian returned to his hometown, it was difficult to calm down inside. Last year, he was still fighting here, but he didn't expect to meet him in the second game this year. However, despite facing his old club, he should play his best strength.Of course, last year’s Rookie of the Year, Evans, was still traded after averaging 20+5+5 per game. He Yixiang, this is the most direct way to prove the king's mistake.

Although this is just a very ordinary regular season, the two teams were even the bottom teams in the East and West last year, but because of the deal after the draft, the two teams have become a focus of attention. A game, the revenge of the old club, the battle between the two generations of Memphis core, these things sound like a gimmick. TNT also conducted a national live broadcast of this game, and the live commentary guests were the old partners of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

"Hey, why am I always asked to explain Chinese games? I don't think Chinese people are very friendly to me." When Barkley saw the Chinese boy on the field, an unpleasant memory flooded his mind instantly.

His old partner Kenny Smith laughed when he heard this sentence: "It's okay, I haven't sold the donkey last time." On November 2002, 11, Barkley believed that Yao Ming was not qualified at all. After becoming the No. 12 overall pick, the famous statement of "Kiss Kenny Smith's ass when Yao Ming scored 19 points" shocked the basketball world. This suspense was solved within 10 days: On November 20, 2002, it was time for Barkley to fulfill his promise, but Kenny Smith was unwilling to undress in front of a national audience. Smith led a borrowed donkey to the studio.Because the English ass can refer to the ass, and it can also refer to the donkey, and then Barkley also kissed the ass of the donkey in public live broadcast across the United States.

"You guy, do you want to gamble again?" Barkley was a little dissatisfied with the last time, "I can guarantee that this Chinese rookie will get his ass kicked by Evans this time."

"Do you know the record-breaking assist of this Chinese boy in the last game? What do you want to bet with me? My donkey is still there." Kenny Smith naturally understood that Barkley was going to add a little fun to the audience in front of the TV. Naturally, he would gladly accept the challenge.

"One more bet, I'll let you kiss the donkey's ass too."

The king still continued the starting lineup of the previous game. Although Yi Jianlian performed well in the last game, but the slightly worse confrontation still did not win the full trust of the head coach, but he must have become an important member of the rotation.

Nets starting lineup: point guard Devin Harris, shooting guard Evans, small forward Anthony Morrow, power forward Chris Humphries, center Brook Lopez.After the Nets traded to Evans, he pushed him to the position of shooting guard. With his height of 198cm, he is completely qualified for the position of shooting guard.However, the backcourt breakthrough ability of the combination of Harris and Evans can be said to be at the S level, but the shooting ability can only be said to be beautiful.

Cousins ​​used his excellent jumping ability to jump to the basketball first. This time He Yixiang was not facing Harris, but Evans. Knowing that Harris' defense can't play a big role for He Yixiang, he decided to dislocate the defense and use Evans, who is taller, stronger, and will be more active in this game, to defend He Yixiang.

"He Yixiang got rid of Evans' defense with a wonderful crossover. Evans shouldn't have such a reckless steal. Facing Lopez's supplementary defense, he passed Cousins ​​from the armpit. Dunk, good shot, this shot feels like Evans is more like a rash rookie who just entered the league, but He is like a veteran who has been in the league for many years." Since Kenny Smith has already bet heavily on He Yixiang, The praise is naturally undisguised.But it is true that He Yixiang played the ball beautifully, with a chic breakthrough and a clever pass.

Evans reached out for the ball as soon as the half-court was over. He squeezed the position with his huge body for He Yixiang. He squeezed two steps with his body first, and was surprised to find that although the Chinese boy didn't look strong enough, he was not strong enough. Weak, even though strong hits can still impress, but the efficiency is too low, leaning on He Yixiang's body with his arms, pretending to be a strong hit, when He Yixiang stood up and prepared to mark, Evans turned his back and directly hit He Yixiang left behind, obviously looking very strong, but his turning speed was not slow at all, and he directly hit the shot near the penalty area.Cousins ​​was eyeing the penalty area and was ready to give this guy a big cap, but Evans didn't enter the penalty area directly, and a mid-range shot ended the offense, which made Cousins ​​very angry. "He, you can't guard against me." Evans smiled confidently after succeeding.

Barkley's voice disappeared after He Yixiang sent that beautiful assist, as if he was no longer there. As soon as the goal was scored, he immediately came to life. "Hey, Kenny, did you see, that Chinese kid can't guard against Evans at all, you just wait for Evans to fuck He Yixiang's ass, honestly go and kiss the donkey's ass."

In the first quarter, the two came and went, but He Yixiang paid more attention to guiding the offense of his teammates. Under his tandem, the four starters all scored. Cousins ​​​​even scored in double figures, and he also scored in the first quarter. Scored six assists, and Evans may not have run in well with his new teammates, relying more on his own singles. Although the efficiency is good, it is completely incomparable with the opponent's full blooming state.Harris also began to be dissatisfied with Evans' singles with the ball all the time, and Lopez even touched the ball twice after playing most of the quarter.Everyone understands that Evans is angry, but his style of play is already hurting the team.Although he scored 23 of the team's [-] points, the opponent has already scored [-] points under the support of He Yixiang.

Barkley was originally excited about Evans' singles against He Yixiang one after another, but his roar became smaller and smaller, because he found that although Evans' singles were efficient, the Nets were falling behind more and more. , The Kings team revolves around He Yixiang's counter-run and pick-and-roll. The inside line creates shooting space for the outside line, and the outside line creates one-on-one offensive opportunities for the inside line. He Yixiang only needs to send the ball to the right person when the opportunity comes out.
