Chapter 208 Rank Gap
In this year's Rookie Challenge, Golden State Warriors assistant Jalen Collins will be the coach of the world team, and Celtics assistant Jamie Young will be the coach of the U.S. team.

The two originally wanted to take a cutscene and enjoy the 40-minute rookie performance and go home after work, but they thought that the players of the two teams had high fighting spirit, and their dedication even exceeded the regular season, so they actually ran tactics spontaneously!

Jamie slapped his forehead and directly called out a timeout, to arrange a complete strategy for the US team.

This approach made all the fans very curious, what happened to this year's rookie game?
First Embiid passed the ball weirdly, then some players crazily increased their offensive and defensive intensity, and now the coach suddenly paused again!

Not to mention the fans, even Klay Thompson, who ran to the commentary booth to experience his father's work, was a little confused.

"Clay, what do you think of the suspension of the coach of the US team?" the commentator on the left asked.

"It feels like they're going to take out their secret weapon, let's see how the world team responds."

The 100-second timeout is fleeting and the game continues.

Russell dribbled the ball to the right wing, cooperated with Towns in the pick-and-roll, and used the screen to break through from the sideline to the bottom corner, completely ignoring Embiid's defense change, and raising his hand was a three-pointer.

The basketball is hollow into the net, and it only takes 3 seconds from breakthrough to shot.

Embiid shook his head in frustration, strode to the basket, picked up the basketball and exited the baseline.

Make a long pass!The basketball went straight to the center line, and Tianyang took the ball to the top of the arc.

Booker bent his legs and bowed, spread his hands, and kept his eyes straight, posing the most standard single-defense posture.

Thompson in the commentary booth nodded, "Booker is very good defensively, Tianyang has to rely on the pick-and-roll to break through..."

Before the words were finished, Tianyang didn't seem to look at it, and directly made a three-pointer, which took less than 2 seconds.

Bang bang bang, the basketball bounced back and forth against the hoop, but eventually fell into it.

Thompson was embarrassed, and Booker also looked a little embarrassed, and quickly turned and ran to the frontcourt.

Russell broke through with the ball, rushed to a 45-degree emergency stop to score the ball, and then ran to the top of the arc to cover for Booker.

But Booker dribbled the ball with his left hand and swung his right hand again and again, indicating that he would be singled out.

Perhaps relying on his height advantage, Booker dribbled the ball to the left and broke through, took two steps and retreated.

Hit!The fans at the scene exploded, and the two teams soared three-pointers, which was so exciting.

Thompson's eyes lit up in the commentary, "It would be great if I had this level of ball handling."

As soon as the words fell, Tianyang received a pass from Exum in the backcourt, changed direction in front of the continuum to avoid Ingram's interference, rushed to the center line, turned around and dribbled the ball to get rid of Booker's body, and finally stepped into the inside line to make an emergency stop. fly downs.

Throw shot, 2 points hit.

The whole movement flows smoothly, just like a painting by a famous artist, with the coexistence of beauty, skill and strength.

In the commentary seat, Thompson raised his head and blinked, his face full of thought, "The last time we played against the Lakers was at the end of November, so it has been almost 11 months since we played against Tianyang, and he has improved again!"

On the court, Russell dribbled the ball to the left wing and made a pass inside. Towns took the ball in the low post on the left side and played singles with his back.

Embiid was also polite, and put up a 113KG body and ran up.

Downs made strong pushes continuously, but he was embarrassed and couldn't stand...

In desperation, Towns turned around and made a hook shot, and Embiid jumped in place to interfere.

The basketball hit the circle and rebounded, Jokic moved laterally to catch the rebound, turned around and threw it to Tianyang.

Tianyang catches the ball and gallops past Russell and Booker to the right elbow. Facing the defense of Marquis, he throws a Kobe-style running back and hits sideways.

Clay in the commentary booth spread his hands, "Are you going to play a shooting guard singles against a heavy power forward? I don't believe it!"

When he said this, the two commentators on the left and right also nodded, expressing their disbelief.

As soon as the nodding was over, Tianyang bent over and lowered his shoulders, and with a loud roar, he raised his head with all his strength.

I don't know if it was not ready or for other reasons, Marquis took a half step back!

Tianyang immediately turned forward and shot a jumper from the free throw line!
Hit!Tianyang scored 100 points in a row with a 12% shooting rate!
The game goes into an ad pause.

In the commentary seat, Thompson scratched his head, "It seems that the World Team has also come up with a secret weapon."

The commentary on the right asked: "What secret weapon?"

Thompson turned his head, looking like a fool, "Of course I try to let Tianyang handle the ball as much as possible. The rookies on the field are completely different from Tianyang. The gap is too big."

The commentary on the left interjected: "The coaches and players of the World Team have given Tianyang face, I can't see it."

Thompson turned his head again, "Embiid will give face, and Saric will give face. Before the Tianyang draft, Jokic still wanted him to go to the Nuggets. Exum has nothing to do with him, but the head coach of the World Team, that is, Jalen Collins of our Warriors graduated from Stanford and is an alumnus of Tianyang, do you understand?"

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, and the game continued between the two teams.

Russell dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and after cooperating with Towns in the pick-and-roll, he slid inside in one step.

Embiid switched defenses and chased, Russell accelerated the sprint, made a layup with a low hand,

After hitting the iron, Embiid grabbed the rebound and the World Team made a fast break.

Tianyang caught the ball and ran wildly, but the American team returned to defense quickly, and there were three people blocking the breakthrough route.

One Booker, one Ingram, one Downs.

For the three of them, Tianyang broke through once just now, and he immediately rushed forward.

But this time, the three cooperated and no longer fought alone, but joined forces to form a siege.

In the commentary seat, Thompson nodded frequently, "Tianyang should have nothing to do with defense like this, it can only pass the ball!"

Sure enough, Tianyang immediately braked and brought the ball to the right sideline, and the defensive trio also subconsciously moved to the right.

When the three of them were about to form a straight line, Tianyang passed the ball behind his back unknowingly!
Stealthy action!Plenty of strength!Fast!The angle is precise!
The basketball went straight into the hands of Embiid who was about to go down, without even bending his waist, he took advantage of the opportunity to divide Saric again.

Towns and Ingram quickly returned to defense, and Saric adjusted his posture and raised his hand to shoot.

At the same time, Tianyang sneaked from the sideline to the right corner, and when Booker called out to remind him to intercept, he had already received a pass from Saric and made a steady shot.

Hit a three-pointer and scored 15 points in a row!The fans applauded thunderously!

In the commentary seat, Thompson got up, and the two commentators on the left and right asked him what he was doing.

"Slip, slip, this game is boring, Tianyang blows up the audience, what is his opponent for the rookie of the US team, a player who was selected as the starter in the main game, it is a bit bullying to play in the rookie game, let alone the rest of the world team People haven't exerted their strength yet."

After Thompson left the table, the commentator on the left shook his head and sighed, "Tianyang is a bit of a bully. Russell shot a 3-pointer in 3 seconds, and he made a three-pointer; Jia turned around and passed three people in a row with a European step; Towns backed up and couldn't hold back Embiid, and he, a shooting guard, actually knocked away power forward Marquis."

The commentator on the right also sighed, "It's too strong. Its speed, skill, and shooting are far superior to players at the same position. It can also make a clever move. Tianyang leads by a whole rank. This game will be a one-sided massacre."
