start with scouting

Chapter 141 Did you see Nash's defense?
Eight p.m. on the [-]th, Arlington Cowboys Stadium.

With the loud shouts of the announcer, the warming-up players from the East and West teams stopped and walked towards the player tunnel talking and laughing, while more than 8000 spectators cheered and applauded. The All-Star Game is about to start the appearance ceremony.

Su Yang sat on the western bench, feeling the whole stadium buzzing, as if he was in the midst of countless bees.

"It's too exaggerated!" Harden, who was sitting in the audience behind, sighed, "I've never seen such a big scene..."

Su Yang nodded upon hearing this. This All-Star Game, 8000 people watched the game, setting a new record in North America. Generally, March Madness basketball games have a maximum of 7 people watching the game. It is difficult for NFL football games to reach 10 people. person level.

"The current progress is 25%..."

The lights around the stadium gradually went out, and a cold mechanized electronic female voice came out, announcing the progress of the game preparations.

Su Yang looked up at the top of the court, and the two 54-meter-long and 21-meter-high display screens began to flash images quickly: Bob Cousy was holding a basketball and chatting with his teammate Edward McCauley, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar jumped high With the hand on the board, Jordan started from the center line and rushed to the free throw line to take off and dunk, Bird easily won the three-pointer contest championship, Carter dunked in a big windmill, Garnett won the AMVP trophy, McGrady and Arenas faced off with a super long three-pointer, Howard wearing a Superman jersey shockingly buckle...

From the first All-Star to last year's eight All-Stars, classic scenes appeared in each session.

The mechanized electronic female voice was ready to broadcast simultaneously, and the camera turned to the big stage. U2 lead singer Arthur began to perform, and opened his mouth to sing the fire song: If you want more, just call it out loud...

The singing flew out, the fireworks exploded at the same time, and the whole stadium was instantly restless, shouting one after another.

The announcer immediately announced the appearance of the eastern substitutes, then the starters and coaching staff, then the western substitutes, and finally the western starters. When the camera was on Su Yang, the cheers were obviously mixed with boos.

Assistant coach Brian said with a smile: "It seems that the people of Texas don't welcome you, or look down on you."

"Maybe we lost to Dallas twice, which made them more confident..." Su Yang joked.

While chatting and laughing, the lights of the audience were brightly lit, and the mechanized female voice sounded again, announcing Nowitzki's appearance.

I saw Nowitzki walking to the middle of the court, waving and shouting: "Welcome! Welcome everyone to Dallas, thank you for coming on this special day today, enjoy this show, and then I want to say that Texas will do everything bigger."

The voice fell, and screams resounded throughout the audience.

Su Yang couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect the honest Nowitzki to make such a joke.

Does everything have to be bigger in Texas?
The generals in the Western Conference also burst into laughter, Kidd almost spit out his chewing gum, Nash and Durant's high-fives were crooked.

Immediately after the long whistle sounded, all the generals from the west surrounded Su Yang spontaneously and listened to his pre-match arrangements.

"Our opening tactic is..." Su Yang wrote on the spur of the moment: Give the ball to Kobe...

The generals in the western part suddenly laughed, and Kobe said with a serious face: "You can trust me!"

Su Yang waved his hands with a smile, and carefully arranged a few tactics. Durant kept clapping his hands to create atmosphere.

Anthony and the others were full of curiosity, and when they finished speaking, everyone in the west raised their hands and cheered together.

The short whistle sounded simultaneously, and the referee whistled to remind the players of the two teams to enter the field, but on the eastern side, LeBron was spreading chalk on the technical stage to declare his arrogance, while Howard puffed up his muscles to face the audience, looking like a beast Roar and shout.

The referee blew his whistle again to remind the Eastern Conference starters to finally enter the court and stand still, and the head coach Van Gundy was a little embarrassed.

The lineup comparison between the Eastern and Western teams is displayed on the big screen in the midfield simultaneously. Point guard Nash vs. Wade, shooting guard Kobe vs. Joe Johnson, small forward Durant vs. LeBron, power forward Dirk Nowitzki vs. Garnett, center Duncan vs. howard.

The big-screen camera in the midfield gave VIP seats on the sidelines. Shakira, Sister Key, Beyoncé and other female singers were on the line. Rappers such as Snoop Dogg and Fifty Cent sat carelessly. Mark Cuban and others Regal applauded excitedly.

The referee held the ball and walked to the middle circle, and the intensive drumbeat continued to sound, and the All-Star Game was about to start.

Whoosh!The referee threw the ball up with both hands, and Duncan and Howard jumped up to fight.

The two collided in the air, and neither of them succeeded, but Duncan jumped on the ground and took the second jump first, and smoothly moved the ball back.

Nowitzki reached out to catch it and threw it to Nash. The announcer shouted: Are you ready!

Cheers poured out from all around the court, Su Yang stood up and applauded, shouting LetsGo to the court.

Nash took the ball and ran to the left wing, took advantage of the situation and cooperated with Durant in a pick-and-roll, trying to break through from the sideline.It's a pity that Wade and Brown cooperated very well. Between retreating and going around, they easily resolved the pick-and-roll threat. Nash turned to move to the right to find opportunities.

At the same time, Nowitzki stood on the right side of the waist, pretending to set up a wall to cover Kobe, let Kobe rush to the basket to catch the ball, but suddenly bowed and started, with the help of Duncan and Kobe. Step outside and rush to the right wing.

Perhaps the tacit understanding formed as teammates many years ago has not disappeared, and Nash threw the ball to the right wing almost at the same time.

Garnett was delayed by the two and it was too late to catch up, and Joe Johnson suffered a disadvantage in height, and Nowitzki caught the ball and shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the basket and goes into the net.

Su Yang subconsciously stood up and applauded, but the cheers of 10 people mercilessly drowned his shouts.

The two teams switched offense and defense, LeBron dribbled the ball across the center line, first passed to the left and then ran to the right, and then got stuck with his back.

Johnson and Wade cooperated to pass the ball back, and LeBron caught the ball with his back and faced Durant, preparing for a moment to turn over and shoot.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Coe grabbed the rebound, turned around and crossed the center line, pretended to hit to the right, but actually moved to the left, and used a screen at the top of the arc to pretend to break through, but actually passed the ball to Nowitz who quietly used Duncan's screen to circle to the left 45 degrees Kei, quite confused.

Garnett kept up, but Nowitzki resorted to his signature golden rooster independence and forcibly leaned back to make a shot.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

Cheers reappeared in the court, and the East made a fast break. Wade took the ball and rushed to the top of the frontcourt, and directly trailed to cooperate. Garnett, who followed up, stretched out his hand to catch the ball, took advantage of the momentum and patted it to find the rhythm. Duncan took off and shot two points.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Bryant caught the rebound, flew to the left wing of the frontcourt, didn't want to screen and launch an attack, but lobbed it to Duncan.

Garnett quickly put on a defensive posture, chased Duncan to the basket, and slapped Duncan's right hand for a layup.

The basketball slammed like iron, but Durant made a tip-up with a jump, and the West started 6-0.

On the eastern side, head coach Van Gundy was a little anxious and shouted at the court.

Johnson immediately took the ball to the front right wing, and Garnett received the ball at the top of the arc, and then divided it to LeBron on the left wing.

LeBron took the ball and immediately slid it straight to the left waist, very fast, obviously wanting Wade to use his physical advantage to force Nash.

But as soon as the basketball flew to the left waist, Nash came out from behind Wade and slapped the basketball flying.

Amidst the exclamation, the basketball flew out of the sideline, and the referee blew his whistle to signal the Eastern Conference's second attack, with 14 seconds left.

The East quickly set up the baseline ball formation. Wade first screened for LeBron, then ran to the right with the screen of Howard, and Nash chased after him.At the same time, LeBron took the ball from the left wing and made a long pass to Johnson at the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Johnson took the ball and immediately passed it again with the help of Garnett to cover the outside Wade, a typical FLOPPY tactic.

Wade didn't completely get rid of Nash, but he still made a jump shot and didn't seem to worry about defense.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Duncan raised his hand to catch the basketball, then passed it to Nash, and the Western side launched a fast-break counterattack.

Nash ran two steps with the ball, made a long diagonal pass, and the basketball flew straight to the right side of the frontcourt for a 45-degree three-pointer.

Bryant received the ball and did not hesitate to make a quick shot against Johnson. Wade was not worried about defense.

The basketball was banging like iron, Su Yang curled his lips slightly, thinking that if Kobe was a Thunder player, he would probably stop criticizing him.

Amidst the cheers, Nowitzki failed to grab the offensive rebound, and Howard handed the ball to LeBron.

The East launched a counterattack, Wade rushed to catch the ball from the center line, and knocked Nash head-on in the paint.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, whistled Wade for an offensive foul, and transferred the ball to the West.

There was applause in the court, and Su Yang turned to look at Harden: "Did you see Nash's three defenses? His physical fitness is far inferior to yours, but he can do everything well, whether it is spotting, chasing defenses or drawing fouls. You should also With that attitude!"

Harden tilted his head impatiently: "Got it, got it..."

Su Yang looked back into the field with a smile, and found that Wade was arguing with the referee, with a look of wanting to win.

Only a few rounds were played in the opening game. Judging from Nash's active defense, Kobe's serious organization, Nowitzki's courage to fight for offensive rebounds, and Wade's theory, the players of the two teams really valued this All-Star game .
