Chapter 430 A Unique Showdown

There is no big problem in winning the Clippers, but the game was not so smooth. In the third quarter of the game, the scene that the Warriors players did not want to see appeared again. Rasheed Wallace fell to the ground and was injured. On the field, it was confirmed that the back was injured in the subsequent MRI examination, the situation is not optimistic, and the recovery period is expected to be as long as two months.

Due to Chandler's injury recently, Wallace has played a lot more than before. In addition to starting at the power forward position, he often plays as a center forward, and the result of this is his physical strength. It consumes a lot.

The consequences of physical exertion often lead to injuries, as Rasheed Wallace proved.

At this time, it is obviously not meaningful to pursue the cause of Wallace's injury. The Warriors lost their starting power forward, and it was for a long time.

The injuries of Chandler and Hinrich have made the Warriors taste the pain of injuries, and now that Wallace is injured again, neither the Warriors executives nor the old Nelson think that relying on the players in the current team can fully make up for Wallace There is a vacancy, they need to introduce another powerful insider.

There are still eight days before the trade deadline. After realizing this, the Warriors' uniform team began to act quickly.

Just as the Warriors executives headed by Chris Mullin were actively looking for the possibility of trading with some teams, Yang Shuai went to Dallas with the old Nelson and Tyreke Evans.

The 2010 All-Star Weekend was held in Dallas, and only Yang Shuai, Evans and Nelson needed to go to the Warriors.

Yang Shuai needs to participate in the three-point contest, slam dunk contest, and the All-Star Game. Evans needs to participate in the Rookie Challenge, and the old Nelson is the head coach of the Western All-Stars.

There are many activities in the All-Star Weekend, but the real theme is only three days, and the first one is the Rookie Challenge.In the previous two seasons, Yang Shuai participated in the Rookie Challenge. In the first season, he just played some soy sauce. In the last season, Yang Shuai, who has improved a lot, participated in the Rookie Challenge again, leading the second-year team to victory and winning. Won the mvp of the rookie game.

This season is Yang Shuai's third season in the NBA. It stands to reason that he has missed the rookie challenge, but after the start of the rookie challenge, Yang Shuai once again appeared on the team's bench.

"Welcome to the All-Star Rookie Challenge. This year's Rookie Challenge will be a very interesting competition. Of course, the Rookie Challenge over the years will attract a lot of attention, but this year is obviously something special. The first-year rookie We're going to be playing against second-year guys on the court, and off the court, there's going to be a unique duel between two guys."

Barkley, the on-site commentator, shouted with a smile, and Kenny Smith immediately interrupted his words: "Charles, in order to avoid your introduction being too obvious, I think it's up to me to introduce the two sides. The starting lineup would be more suitable."

After finishing speaking, Kenny Smith ignored the dissatisfaction of Charles Barkley, and introduced: "Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the first-year team coach Yang..."

Head coach, Yang!

Yes, Yang Shuai is the head coach of the first-year team, and the head coach of the second-year team who sang against him is LeBron James.

Everyone knows that this time David Stern did it on purpose. The head coach of the first year is Yang Shuai and the head coach of the second year is actually James. I don't mind lighting a fire between the two of them.

"Hey, Kenny, who do you think can win today?" Barkley asked Kenny Smith with a smile.Barkley's question is very interesting. He asked who can win, not which team can win.

Barkley's words obviously represent the views of many fans. The first-year and second-year games can indeed attract the attention of some fans, but this year's Rookie Challenge has attracted more attention than before. There is no doubt that there is a big difference between them. Part of it is because of Yang Shuai and James.

Fans have watched some of Yang Shuai and James' duels on the field, almost every time is very exciting, and fans never mind that the two have more duels. Unfortunately, the two teams are divided into east and west teams, and the number of duels is really small. many.Now that I have the opportunity to watch the unique duel between the two, it naturally aroused the interest of the fans.

"The game seems to be about to start. I think we should explain the tactics!" After entering the arena, Yang Shuai has been laughing and laughing. Seeing that the game is about to start, Yang Shuai just woke up from a dream. The stand up fairy tale.

After hearing Yang Shuai's words, the first-year players suddenly sweated profusely. Yang Shuai still remembered his coach's identity, which really surprised them.

"Okay, let's arrange the starting lineup!" After the list of players participating in the rookie game was confirmed, the starting lineup was not yet determined, and it was completely arranged temporarily by the head coach before the game.

"DeJuan Blair, Tyreke Evans, James Harden, Brandon Jennings, Steph Curry, come on."

As soon as Yang Shuai said this, the first-year team players looked at each other in blank dismay.The first-year team has a total of nine players, including five outsiders and four insiders. The combination is reasonable, but Yang Shuai is good. This way, four of the five outsiders are sent, and only Germany is sent inside. Juan Blair alone, what kind of arrangement is this?

"Okay, guys, don't doubt that you heard it wrong, I just want you four guards on the court. If I guess correctly, the second-year team will send at least two big men, maybe even three, catch Taking advantage of this opportunity, they concentrated their firepower on the outside attack at the beginning of the game.

Give the ball to Tyreke, Tyreke, all you have to do is to keep attacking the opponent's inside line, and then distribute the ball to James, Brandon, and Stephen on the outside line.DeJuan, your job is to get every rebound you can get your hands on, any questions? "

Several players who were named to start all shook their heads, saying that there is no problem. Yang Shuai is the coach, and they can only listen to the coach.

De Juan was defined as a coolie player by Yang Shuai, but he did not express dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he was very happy to be able to start. As for the task is to grab rebounds?This is what he does most often.

"Huh? Yang sent four outside players? What does he want to do?" Kenny Smith's reading of the first-year starting lineup became more and more wrong, and he couldn't figure out what Yang Shuai was up to.

Charles Barkley on the side is indeed Yang Shuai's die-hard loyalist, and immediately shouted: "It seems that Yang is already prepared for this game. I feel that I should celebrate for the first-year team."

"Knowing that my inside strength is not good, so why don't you just throw away the inside?" James on the other side sneered in his heart immediately after seeing the players on Yang Shuai's side.

As Yang Shuai expected, James sent three big players, including Brook Lopez and Kevin Love in the interior, and at the small forward position, Mike - who can play at the third and fourth positions. Beasley, on the outside, is partnered with Thunder point guard Westbrook and Grizzlies guard OJ-Mayo.

In James' mind, this kind of matchup will firmly occupy the advantage of his own team. After all, his team's internal strength is extraordinary, and the outside line also has very good strength, but after the game started, he found that things were different from what he imagined. too far.

Evans made a breakthrough, Harden, Jennings, and Curry, who were very good outsiders, shot from a distance, and Blair rushed to grab the rebound. The first-year team adopted an unconventional style of play, but the facts have proved that this style of play is very effective. obvious.

The three starters of the first-year team all have very good shooting ability. When they only need to be responsible for shooting on the court, their efficiency is very high. As long as Evans attracts the defense and puts the ball in their hands, Their hit rate can be very well guaranteed.

As for Evans, whether it is Kevin Love on the inside or OJ Mayo on the outside, he felt a little helpless in the face of his bull-like body, but it was slightly less after Mike Beasley switched defenses. It plays a restrictive role, but for Beasley, it is difficult for him to keep his focus on the field and seriously attack. Let him concentrate on defense?He might as well choose to sleepwalk on the court.

"Tyreke breaks through, he goes in again, watch his point, layup, Tyreke layup, ball in! He left 5 seconds for the sophomore team."

In 5 seconds, the second-year team did not catch it. Westbrook missed a three-pointer. The second-year team had to accept the fact that they were still behind by 4 points after the first quarter.

At 27:31, after the first quarter, the first grade led the second grade by 4 points, which obviously exceeded many people's expectations.The camera swept across the benches of both sides at the end of the first quarter. Yang Shuai's smiling appearance formed a sharp contrast with James' stern-faced appearance.

If it was just a rookie game mainly for entertainment, James would not think too much about it, he would hand over the scene to the players, but now that the head coach of the first-year team is actually Yang Shuai, the meaning is obviously different.

In the opening 5 minutes of the second quarter, Yang Shuai sat leisurely on the sidelines. If possible, he even wanted to serve a plate of melon seeds to taste carefully.

In fact, the point difference between the two grade teams was not that big, only 8 points, but Yang Shuai felt relieved seeing that the first grade was always taking the initiative.

Evans broke through and once again inserted into the basket with ease. The second-year team tried several players to defend Evans, but the effect was not good.

Layup, leaning against Kevin Love, Evans rushed to the basket and jumped up to shoot, the ball fell steadily into the basket.With 2 minutes left in the second quarter, the first-year team successfully widened the point difference to double digits.

"Beep!" With the whistle of the referee, the first half of the game ended, the point difference stayed at 51:63, and the Warriors led by 12 points.

After seeing James leading the second-year team into the locker room, Yang Shuai also stood up from his seat immediately, and then whistled and shouted to the first-year team who was still beside him: "Guys, rest! Prepare for the second half of the game with sufficient energy, today is destined to be a moment of history for us."

Yang Shuai couldn't help being excited. Just now, when his eyes swept across the other side, he found that James on the coach's bench had a gloomy face, and he could make James' face change even when he was not on the court. Handsome Yang took it for granted. happy.

"Woohoo!" The Warriors players groaned, followed by Yang Shuai and quickly walked towards the player tunnel, and then entered the locker room. ^-^138 Reading Network (www.13800100.com) has no pop-up window to read^-^
