Junior Basketball says

Chapter 230
In the first 3 minutes of the game, the situation on the court was that Xu Hao and Westbrook kept hitting each other with the ball.Although Xu Hao relies more on precise three-point shooting, while Westbrook maximizes his impact, the scoring efficiency of both sides is not low, especially Xu Hao, who can maintain such a shooting percentage outside the three-point line, is enough to prove He feels hot today.

Westbrook played very well, he likes this kind of game rhythm the most, and Xu Hao's performance also aroused his competitive spirit.However, Xu Hao keenly noticed the emotions of his teammates. Although they did not express their dissatisfaction with physical movements, their eyes were more or less helpless. This is a stage for everyone to play tricks, not for turning back on the field. Running.

Xu Hao knows his position very well. Dantley certainly hopes that he can help the team score more points on the offensive end. However, his job is to be a point guard. As a commander on the field, it is absolutely unqualified to patronize his own scoring. of.Not to mention Griffin, who is also used as a scoring point by Dantley, among other players, Harden and Evans are also excellent scorers, and it would be a waste not to use them.

With this kind of mental awareness, Xu Hao is ready to play with his teammates. Even if Westbrook is still tirelessly trying to fight one-on-one in every round, Xu Hao doesn't want to play with him anymore.Westbrook has the capital to play like this. Anyway, there is Rose in the starter of the second-year team who can take on the heavy responsibility of organizing the offense, but Xu Hao is the only one in the first-year team.

So the next time the first-year team launched an attack, Xu Hao didn't try a three-point long shot in front of Westbrook. Instead, he waved for Griffin to come up and cover for him.Griffin was also stunned. Previously, his task on the court was to fight for rebounds and then complete the second attack. As a result, he only scored 6 points now. This was the first time Xu Hao asked him to cover in the high post.

But Griffin didn't dare to neglect, he vaguely felt that this was a good opportunity for him to score.When he moved to the high position, his huge body firmly blocked Westbrook behind, and Xu Hao smoothly entered the inside to face Beasley.Beasley didn't intend to defend either, but he still raised his hands as if to prevent Xu Hao from shooting.

At this time, Griffin had already rushed to the basket from the other side. Xu Hao caught a glimpse of him, and with a covert ground pass, he handed the basketball to Griffin.The ball was given just right. Xu Hao simply predicted Griffin's rhythm and passed it. The latter didn't need to adjust at all. He picked up the basketball with his right hand and took off, facing Gasol's long arm and hitting the ball hard. Smashed into the basket.

As the strongest dunker in 2009, there is no doubt that Griffin's dunk is highly appreciated. He used the tomahawk style for this dunk dunk. The indomitable momentum stimulated the hormones of the audience. Stand up and yell, applaud the domineering dunk.They bought tickets to watch the rookie challenge, didn't they just want to see such a scene?

Griffin, who dunked successfully, was very excited, but he also knew who should give most of the credit for this ball.Seeing that Xu Hao was already running towards the other half, he hurried to catch up and gave a boy scout military salute in a dignified manner, thanking Xu Hao for his assist.Xu Hao smiled slightly and gave him a thumbs up. After all, Griffin's dunk was equally wonderful.

The format of the Rookie Challenge is not like the NBA, but more like the NCAA. The game is divided into two halves of 20 minutes each, each with a long timeout of 100 seconds. In addition, there are two mandatory Commercial breaks are suspended, mandatory at 7 and 14 minutes into the half.Each team has a 20-second timeout in each half.

Before Xu Hao was replaced by Dantley, his scoring did not continue to increase, but his assists increased a lot. Three of the other four starters of the first-year team scored in double figures, and Blair also scored 8 points by relying on the pick-and-roll .Dantley was very satisfied with his performance, but in order to give the substitutes enough playing time, he had to replace Xu Hao and take a good rest.

Xu Hao had no objection to this. In the Rookie Challenge, it was basically not until the last moment of the second half that he started fighting for real. The reason why he exerted his strength from the beginning was largely because he was forced by Westbrook.Although the opponent's defensive intensity cannot increase, it is very tiring to constantly charge back and forth on the court. At this time, it is necessary to take a rest.

Over there, Clifford had already replaced Westbrook at an earlier point. Letting him continue to hold the ball and play in singles alone would undoubtedly greatly damage the enthusiasm of others. It would be better to let him take a rest and let others have more time. Beat.

However, after Xu Hao left the court, the first-year team's original lead was quickly eroded. The reason was simple. They did not have a second pure point guard.This time, besides Xu Hao, the first-year team's point guards are only Curry and Jennings. The former is accurate in three-pointers, and the latter is sharp in breakthroughs. However, their common shortcoming is that they are not very good at organizing offenses and only think about playing by themselves.However, their physical fitness is not as good as Westbrook, and they are easily strangled by the opponent, and it is even more difficult to score independently.

Xu Hao sat on the bench and chatted and laughed with Harden. Firstly, according to Dantley, he couldn't rest for too long off the court. Secondly, with the defensive intensity and game rhythm of the Rookie Challenge, even if he was behind by double digits That too can come back quickly.The most important thing is that in the Rookie Challenge, there is no such thing as six fouls, but free throws are required when the number of fouls is reached.

In other words, as long as the players want to and the coach allows, they can stay on the court from beginning to end without worrying about getting into foul trouble.Xu Hao believes that his physical strength can last. Isn't the 20 minutes in the first and second halves an NCAA game?Is it still less that I played all the games in college?So even though the team is behind, he is not worried at all.

Dantley did what he said, and with more than 7 minutes left in the first half, he sent Xu Hao again, and Harden also appeared together.But at this time their partners have been replaced, except for Evans at the small forward position, Casspi at the power forward position, and Gibson at the top center position, just like a small lineup with a low average altitude .

However, this is also Xu Hao's favorite player configuration. Except for Gibson, all five players have three-point firepower, and the inside can also follow up in time when playing transition attacks. This is simply tailor-made for him.Looking at the numbers on the scoreboard, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Hao's mouth: Next, let you take a good look at what is called super run and bomb!
