Chapter 178 178. A Subtle Trend (6000 words please subscribe for tickets)
Liu Xiu + James, the opponents saw the cooperation between the two, and felt that the two were a match made in heaven.

This is not important to the second-year team.

The important thing is that the rookie on the opposite side angered them!

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Liu Xiu's expression was different when he saw the opposite player running over.

very serious!
coming!This is what he wants.

Rookie game!

When will the 18 players on the field be divided into two teams to play a game?
It is certain that there will be no more in the future, and it is impossible.

Of course you have to play hard!
Yaliqi advanced to the frontcourt and lobbed the ball to Yao Ming.

Can't watch Bosh being so abused, Haslem gestured towards Anthony and James, contracting the attack.

Stoudemire cuts in, Anthony retracts to block in place, Yao Ming points the ball to Prince, James makes a good defense, and Prince misses a three-pointer...

but!

With 5 people under the basket, Stoudemire quickly exploded in the crowd, and with a faster bullet speed than Anthony, he made a dunk and scored two points!

In the transition from offense to defense, Ginobili retreated back to direct his teammates' positions.

This time Liu Xiu + James' cooperation failed to get a mobile phone opportunity. James came to close range and was blocked by Stoudemire. The ball came to Haslem's hands, and the left side of Haslem's free throw line Responding to a long two-point shot... Iron!
Yao Ming got stuck and Stoudemire received a defensive rebound.

The second-year team attacked, Yao Ming opened up, Ginobili and Stoudemire picked and rolled, Yao Ming opened up to respond, and made a long two-point shot...hit!
Why are veteran role players with championship experience always favored by strong teams or teams that want to cultivate young talents?

A veteran means having experience, a champion experience, means knowing how to succeed, being persuasive, and other teammates are willing to command on the spot from him.

Ginobili is only in his second year in the NBA, but the players present know that he is a veteran, and he really has NBA championship experience.

In this defense and attack, Ginobili made good use of the abilities of his teammates and seized the loopholes of the rookie team!

The rookies attack.

James felt that things were troublesome, he didn't know how to solve the problem, and the tactics seemed to be failing.

Once he can't get through, his idea is very simple - punch hard.

But now he is not in the Cavaliers. He just advanced halfway, and Liu Xiu asked for the ball.

Liu Xiu received the ball and made a gesture, and James remembered that he also played without the ball.

When Liu Xiu received the ball, Anthony didn't need Liu Xiu to say hello. When he saw Liu Xiu receive the ball, he knew where he was going.

Anthony took a tentative step to catch the ball on the right side of the three-second zone, took a shot, stepped back and made a mid-range shot from the free throw line...hit!
If the tactics work out, then play tactics, if the tactics fail, then go to Anthony!
Anthony did not celebrate after scoring, and turned his head back arrogantly.

Liu Xiu and James cut in the middle one after another just now, and when they saw the ball go in, they also retreated quickly.

James asked suspiciously: "Since Melo will definitely shoot in singles, why do we have to cut in?"

"If we don't cut, Prince will feel like he has something behind him and he can press Melo to shoot.

And we can also rush for offensive rebounds. "

James suddenly realized.

He doesn't like playing off the ball, but a simple cut from the end that doesn't seem to work can actually bring so much help to the offense...

It is at this time that little by little changes are made.

When the second-year team attacked, Ginobili broke through the pick-and-roll, and started to take the European step at the middle distance.

The rookie team cooperated in this defense. Liu Xiu made up for Ginobili's pick-and-roll, but he couldn't block it. Ginobili threw him aside with a single step.

But this gave Haslem the opportunity to recover the basket.

Ginobili took the second step and landed on the arc of the reasonable collision zone. Haslem blocked in front of Ginobili.

but……

Ginobili pulls up on the spot and dunks Haslem!
European Step Buckle!

The scene immediately boiled.

In addition to Duncan, the Spurs actually have such a player?
The referee's whistle was a little slower, Ginobili's goal was valid, and a penalty was added, and the rookie team called a timeout!

Back on the bench, Liu Xiugang wanted to talk to Chip Englander, but the opponent handed him the tactical board.

As if England will coach, he is only responsible for teaching shooting in the Nuggets.

This scene, in the eyes of James - a few handsome thieves.

Liu Xiu didn't refuse, didn't waste time, changed players, and discussed how to play.

On the other hand, after the sophomore team played a few games in a venting style, the pure feeling of unhappiness gradually faded away, and they now felt the competitive spirit of the rookie team.

The competitiveness of the second-year players has also risen!

Like the rookie side, the second-year players began to discuss how to cooperate.

……

The rookie team sent a combination of James, Liu Xiu, Anthony, Bosh, and Kaman.

The second-year team sent Ronald Murray, Ginobili, Prince, Stoudemire, and Yao Ming.

Ginobili's extra penalty... misses!
Kaman blocks Yao Ming, Bosh blocks Stoudemire, and Liu Xiu receives a defensive rebound.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Liu Xiu passed the ball to James.

The cooperative tactics of James and Liu Xiu continued to play, Anthony stretched out on the flanks, threw the ball if he caught and shot, and waited to retreat if he didn't.

James, who rushed in, and Liu Xiu, who slid around the bottom line continuously, attracted the defense. Kaman moved to the bottom line on the left side, received a breakthrough ball from James, and made a mid-range shot from the bottom line...hit!
Looking back, Yao Ming leaned on Kaman on the left side of the three-second zone and turned to the basket, received a pass from Ginobili, and scored an easy layup.

The rotation of the rookie team and the two insiders with more accurate mid-range shots have indeed solved the problem of difficult offensive tactics, but the problem on the defensive end has become even bigger.

Kaman, a traditional white center, focuses on close-range attacks and shoots online, but he has a large tonnage, a body size of 213+120, and his speed is not as fast as Yao Ming before he gained weight.

There are gains and losses. The inside line of the 03 class is incomparable with the 02 class. The age of the ball is still a year behind. It is already very good to be able to make achievements on the offensive end.

When the rookie team attacked, James gave the ball to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu passed it to Anthony, and Anthony launched an offense in singles.

Anthony faced the frame in a singles, withdrew a fake move and made a breakthrough, attracting Yao Ming's contraction, and Bosh scored the ball.

Yao Ming's frame protection gave people a strong sense of security, and Prince, who had excellent defensive discipline, immediately switched to Bosh's defense, and Bosh caught the ball and missed the shot!

Yao Ming alone blocked both James and Anthony.

Kaman opened to the middle distance on the left, stuck and slow, so he couldn't even think about offensive rebounds.

Kaman has a characteristic. He is very good at playing against opponents who are shorter than him and not as strong as him. This season, several players who are shorter than him have made consecutive tip-ups. Those who don’t know think he is from Syracuse University. of.

But this time against Yao Ming, he didn't intend to go in and grab the rebound.

The ball bounced in the direction of Stoudemire, blocking Kaman and the basket to grab the rebound... A man who claimed to be [-] feet [-] inches rushed out behind him, grabbed the ball first, got up and threw it, and the second A successful attack!

Although Kaman didn't make offensive rebounds, he could really open up the space and helped Liu Xiu's offensive rebound rush!
Stoudemire, who became the background, was very upset. He felt that all Chinese players were targeting him.

It was the second-year team's offense again. After Yao Ming ran to the three-point line, he found that the man guarding him had changed back to Bosh.

No one forced Bosh to defend Yao Ming this time, but Kaman's miserable appearance made even Bosh look down on it.

Bosh can at least rely on his speed and flexibility to create troubles for Yao Ming on the defensive end, but Kaman is really stuck and slow.

Yao Ming chose to pull away, leaving Stoudemire with short-range space.

Ginobili is very good at distributing the ball. The Spurs' offense is based on superstar singles. To put it simply, Duncan's dead grass tactics...

Stoudemire worked very hard in singles and didn't want to lose to Yao Ming!

Stoudemire was an insider, and facing Kaman, he made a horizontal pull and changed direction. Liu Xiu made up for it... In the background, Stoudemire stopped and threw high, and hit the board!
The shadow of the league's first singles master is already there!It was this 110 kg weight that made an emergency stop... Liu Xiu felt knee pain just looking at it.

When it came time for the rookie team to attack, Anthony scored the ball in a single, and James responded with a pass from the left mid-range.

Liu Xiu received the ball, turned around and made a diving breakthrough, came to close range, Yao Ming went to cover James, Liu Xiu avoided Stoudemire's poor defense, wiped the board and scored!
Liu Xiu's knee hurts watching Stoudemire's face-up singles, and others feel pain in his knees, ankles, and waist when they watch his "inertial acceleration"...

The two teams started the bombardment mode.

There are obvious differences between the two teams, and unexpected differences.

Anyone who can understand the game has discovered this point.

Normally, the coordination ability of second-year players should be better than that of rookies.

Those who can be selected for the rookie game must be the absolute core in high school and college. In their eyes, the teamwork is actually the cooperation of their teammates.

As for the second-year players, they have already experienced the beatings of the society and learned to become supporting roles.

But tonight's game was reversed. The second-year players discussed the style of play-the stars took turns playing singles.

At most, there will be a pick-and-roll burst.

The rookies are playing tactics and coordination instead!

The personal abilities of the players of the two teams are also evident.

The players on the second-year team are indeed better than the rookies.

The rookies can only compete with the second-year team by relying on tactical cooperation and a more positive attitude.

However, in this kind of competition, personal ability is still more important.

Fighting and fighting, the advantage of the second grade team came out.

打到6分33秒，姚明被内内替换下场的时候，二年级队以20比16领先新秀队4分。

But when Yao Ming went down, the situation was different...

At 7 minutes and 11 seconds, Liu Xiu grabbed an offensive rebound and passed it to Haslem who replaced Bosh. Haslem caught the ball and made a layup.

At 9 minutes and 55 seconds, James received Liu Xiu's low back and missed a three-pointer. Liu Xiu grabbed the offensive rebound again, went up by himself, and made a throw.

The score was 28 to 27, and the rookie team overtook the sophomore team by 1 point.

When the second-year team was attacking, Ginobili's passing convulsion came, and he passed the ball to the basket. He thought Stoudemire could cut in, but Stoudemire was blocked by Haslem.

Out of bounds!Dead ball, 10 minutes and 07 seconds, entering the official timeout period.

Seeing that the rookies couldn't bear it anymore, they suddenly came back to life.

The key is that Liu Xiu grabbed two offensive rebounds and one steal in less than 4 minutes!
At the beginning, Liu Xiu relied on teamwork to score 4 points and 2 assists. At that time, the commentators thought that his style of the game had changed tonight, with violent dunks, flying layups, and counterattack guidance... His fans, court TV fans, etc. The narrators were pleasantly surprised.

Then, after playing and playing, I realized that it was still the same. If there is no assist, there will be no assist, that is, the style of play is not a style of play that can get high assists, and the purpose of passing out is not to get that stat.

Later, he got two assists, one was to steal a counterattack, and the other was to grab an offensive rebound.

10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steal!

Liu Xiu grabbed even more rebounds than in the regular season!
In the past, Liu Xiu was active. Tonight, in being active, he has a more accurate position judgment, a better prediction of the opponent's rebounding movement, and can better find opportunities to rush...

On the second-year team, Stoudemire's offensive rebounds were part of their individual abilities.

Liu Xiu's offensive rebound broke out, helping the rookie team to complete two more offenses, plus a counterattack pass to James for a dunk, helping the rookie team successfully overtake the score before entering the official timeout!

The court commentator and his fans are naturally very happy with his performance tonight.

But this is getting more points and assists, relying on offensive rebounds... It feels very subtle.

……

An outsider analyzes the game and has the advantage of being an outsider.

But what the players feel, there are also things that the players feel.

Liu Xiu knew that the overtake was due to Ginobili's sudden mental retardation.

With Ginobili as the main force, in addition to facing a physical crisis, he also has to endure the brain twitch operations of this genius from time to time.

But the most important thing is that this group of rookies played hard enough to seize the opportunity.

The score was overtaken, Yao Ming was replaced by the second-year team, and Stoudemire, who played 10 minutes in a row, was replaced to rest.

The combination of Yao Ming + Boozer was replaced, and the twin towers were still much stronger than the rookie team.

To be precise, Yao Ming, Stoudemire, Boozer, and Nene, any of these four are better than Bosh, the strongest insider of the rookie team.

The rookie team bench, Bosh really didn't want to get up, but thinking of the fans on the other side of the ocean, Bosh gritted his teeth and worked hard!

"Warden, I suggest you rest for a while, and when Yao is replaced, you can go again..."

Chip Englander has no coaching ability, but Liu Xiu thinks this suggestion is reliable.

With Yao Ming in, he scored 6 offensive rebound in nearly 1 minutes.

Without Yao Ming, he had less than two offensive rebounds in 4 minutes.

The combination of Hinrich, Wade, James, Jarvis Hayes and Bosh was replaced.

On the sophomore team, Ronald Murray, Jalic, and Prince joined the Twin Towers.

Liu Xiu took the bag, sat on the edge of the bench, took out her hand, and came with a set of pancakes...

The rookie team had already started to attack on the field, but the live broadcast camera stopped for a while on Liu Xiu.

TNT live broadcast, Barkley complained: "The warden's talent for stealing the scene may be stronger than his talent for playing."

On the court, the performance of the rookies has declined a lot...

They are also known as 'natural leaders', but the gap between Hinrich and Liu Xiu can be seen immediately.

It's not about ability, it's about mentality.

Hinrich always has a kind of self-confidence and a sense of superiority that 'I am an NCAA superstar, and I have won all awards except MOP and championship medals'.

Just like Jay Williams last season.

Maybe it's the bulls' rookie tradition, or maybe they haven't experienced enough social beatings.

Liu Xiu is really not greedy for merit, if he feels that he is not good enough, he will not try if he can.

Hinrich is different. If he doesn't have that ability, he will think that he might be able to do it, and the Bulls' guidance for him is to let go.

The training method is good, and the Bulls are not afraid of losing.

But it's different here...

二年级队迅速打出一波9比3，将比分打成36比31，取得5分的领先优势。

Wade can't stand it!

When that guy was on the court, the team was resilient and played so well.

If he came up instead, he was 5 points behind!

It was the rookie team's attack again, and Wade yelled at Hinrich who was advancing: "Give me the ball, let me do it!"

Although Hinrich has an inexplicable sense of superiority, he also has his advantages-willing to admit mistakes.

The score fell behind, and he didn't play well in controlling, so he pulled away obediently, even if it was Wade who yelled at him.

39% three-point shooting rate, averaging 2 three-pointers per game, Hinrich's three-point shooting accuracy is the same as his layup accuracy, and the number of hits is even more.

Like Stockton, Hinrich is a perfect mid- to long-range pinch point and support point even if he doesn't hold the ball.

Wade took the lead, James followed up, and the two started taking turns to score points.

Bosh's role is very important. Tonight he played aggressively, bravely, and never discouraged, which played a considerable role in restraining Yao Ming.

Without him, James and Wade broke through, and Yao Ming stood there and capped it.

On the defensive end, Bosh can also bring more consumption to Yao Ming by relying on movement and flexibility.

What Haslem and Kaman can do, Bosh can do alone.

It just seems that Liu Xiu, James, and Wade are all showing off, and Bosh is the only one being beaten...

Janeway took turns to score points for a while. Although he couldn't really narrow the point difference, he at least tightened the score. When the second-year team replaced Yao Ming, the score was 42 to 46!

When Yao Ming was replaced, Liu Xiu was replaced.

In the court commentary hall, Sun Zhengping complained: "Will the head coach of the rookie team be replaced? Liu Xiu and Yao Ming's playing time is staggered again..."

The combination of Hinrich, Liu Xiu, Anthony, Haslem and Kaman was replaced.

The second-year team replaced Jalic, Ginobili, Dunleavy, Boozer, and Stoudemire.

In the last 4 minutes of the first half, the rookie team beat the sophomore team 11-8!

Liu Xiu scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. He made a three-pointer with a catch from the sideline.

It wasn't long before Hinrich partnered with Liu Xiu for the first time, but he clearly felt the difference between Liu Xiu and him.

He originally thought that he was going to cooperate with Liu Xiu to fight, but when Liu Xiu encountered more defenses, Liu Xiu took the initiative to give up holding the ball, and was assisting him in sorting out the offense, helping him to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and to do the dirty work.

Liu Xiu felt that he had to learn pick-and-roll offense and long-range shooting from Hinrich; Hinrich felt that he was not as comfortable as Liu Xiu.

After a short period of cooperation, both of them felt admiration for certain aspects of each other, both found out that they were not as good as each other, and were eager to learn that the other was better than themselves.

With 13 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, Liu Xiu performed very well.

After halftime, the score was 53 to 54, and the rookies entered the intermission 1 point behind the sophomores!
……

Intermission.

Back in the locker room, the players of the rookie team temporarily put aside their grievances and prejudices, and discussed how to adjust in the second half.

In other words, they are all rookies, and maybe next year, there will be no way to do this.

Now they don't have many real grievances.

Now Hinrich can't understand Wade, and wants to beat Wade, but he is still thinking that if he really wants to form a grievance, he has to wait for Hinrich to do it or fail.

Like the second-year team in the locker room on the other side, the atmosphere is not as united as the rookie team.

Stoudemire complained that he had too few offenses. Yao Ming had 20 points in the half, and he only had 16 points.

Yao Ming was still unwilling to have such an argument outside the court, so he chose to keep his mouth shut, but Nene, who still had two eggs, had a bad temper, and said to Stoudemire: "He made 12 of 8 shots, and you made 13 of 6 shots. Among them, who has fewer shots?"

Stoudemire is also a bad temper: "A lot of my shots are offensive rebounds I grabbed myself!"

"Then you should do your best to grab offensive rebounds, your efficiency in singles is really bad." Nene shook his head with a tsk tsk after speaking.

Stoudemire is so angry!
It is obvious that the opponent used Bosh to single-handedly defend Yao Ming, not flanking, and using normal shrinkage to block the flank defense, which made his singles ineffective.

I wanted to refute, but the words came out of Stoudemire's mouth and became: "I am different from a second-rate player like you. What I can do is not only grab rebounds."

"Who do you say is a second-rate player?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Yao Ming, who didn't want to quarrel with Stoudemire, patted Nene on the back and said, "We have to argue and we should argue about how to prevent those rookies from continuing to fight." proud."

"Hey..." Stoudemire curled his lips and didn't continue talking.

Nene smiled back at Yao Ming.

He had nothing else to do. After Stoudemire won the Rookie of the Year award, he was always so arrogant in front of the players of the same class. Nene couldn't understand him, and whenever he found an opportunity, he made a fuss and just helped Yao Ming.

If Yao Ming continued to remain silent, he would not feel that there was anything wrong at the moment, but he would definitely feel that he was helping the dog afterwards.

Now, he thinks it's the right thing to do.

In the early days of his career, as the age of the ball grows, the grievances between players of the same class will inevitably increase, until a certain critical point is reached...

Tonight, because everyone has a common goal, Yao Ming is right. Now they are still a whole body, and the grievances and grievances need to be put aside for the time being.
