explosive dribbler

Chapter 94 North Shore Garden Arena
The evening of July 11.

In the home of the Celtics - TD North Shore Garden Arena, it is already filled with a piece of green...

Players from the Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics warm up on opposite sides of the court.Tonight's game is their second matchup of the new season.

In the first duel, the Magic lost to the Celtics by 88:109, with a gap of 21 points.Tonight, all of them looked serious, as if the anger that had been pent up in their chests for a long time was about to explode.

When the game started, Owen and An Xiaonan also stood on both sides of the center line, facing each other.

"Kary, on this wonderful night today, I will definitely defeat you." An Xiaonan smiled slightly.

Owen snorted, as if he thought it was a little funny: "Thinking about going to the sky in one step?"

An Xiaonan pursed his lips, subconsciously grabbed the corner of his jersey, stopped talking nonsense with Owen, turned around and returned to his seat.

Roland was in the front row of the stands, watching An Xiaonan nervously.

Nan, you must win!

It is worth mentioning that Barkley, who had previously kissed O'Neal's ass because of a bet, came to the scene to comment on this game.Moreover, O'Neal, another protagonist of this comedy, once again appeared in the audience's sight.

It's okay for the two of them not to meet, but it's embarrassing when they meet...

The two of them almost hated An Xiaonan to death...especially Barkley...

The matter of being fainted by a fart on the program that afternoon...

Uh...it's better not to mention it too much.

“OK，我们来看看今年的落选黑马安笑南赛季至今的比赛数据。到现在为止场均登场31.4分钟，得到22.2分7.8次助攻3.5个篮板球2.8个失误1.6个抢断……噢天哪，这个数据已经是全明星水准了！”

Buckley looked at the manuscript in his hand and said in surprise.

O'Neal said: "I can't imagine this is an undrafted rookie! He is the number one favorite for the best rookie of the year."

"No, no, Simmons' statistics are also explosive! He averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game! This is a quasi-triple-double data... You know, he is called Little James, a little magician!" Barkley will never allow himself to praise An Xiaonan...

"Mitchell's data is also very good... averaged 20 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4 assists per game."

……

From the words of two famous commentators in the commentary world, we can know that the biggest favorites for the best rookie are An Xiaonan and No. 76 pick Simmons.The data of the two of them can be said to be comparable.If this data is maintained until the end of the season, it will definitely depend on the record of the [-]ers and the Magic.

So far this season, the Magic and Raptors are tied for second, while 76 is still struggling on the verge of the playoffs.It can be said that An Xiaonan has the upper hand in the competition for the best rookie.

That's all for the off-court conversation, now the game has started...

According to the usual practice, let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides:

Boston Celtics:
Point guard No. 11 Kyrie Irving,
Shooting guard No. 7 Jaylen Brown,
Small forward No. 0 Jayson Tatum,

Power forward No. 13 Marcus Morris,
Center No. 42 El Horford.

Head Coach: Brad Stevens.

Orlando Magic:
Point guard No. 19 An Xiaonan,

Shooting guard No. 10 Evan Fournier,
Small Forward No. 17 Jonathan Simmons,
Power forward No. 0 Aaron Gordon,
Center No. 9 Nikola Vucevic.

Head Coach: Frank Vogel.

The game started, and this time Vucevic succeeded in jumping the ball.An Xiaonan dribbled the ball to Irving under the boos of the Celtics home fans.

Pass the ball obediently, execute tactics obediently.

"Swipe!" Vucevic scored a blood for the Magic.

During the opening period, Irving, like An Xiaonan, did not attack directly, but shared the ball more with his teammates for shooting.

The game went on for more than two minutes, and the scores of the two sides were evenly matched, 6:5, and the Magic temporarily led by one point.

Soon, the first scorer was created between An Xiaonan and Owen.

Irving bypassed the off-ball screen, threw off An Xiaonan from the baseline and slipped directly to the bottom corner.The Celtics' excellent rotation ability allowed Irving to receive a pass from Tatum on the corner three-point line and then shoot directly.

"brush!"

"yeah--"

At 6:8, the Magic was overtaken.

An Xiaonan has a feeling in his heart that tonight's game will definitely be more difficult than the last time at home... The morale of the fans is really high... This will greatly affect their own performance...

However, An Xiaonan has already fully prepared for tonight's game. What he needs to do now is to concentrate and handle every attack well.

An Xiaonan played a wave of tactics. After bypassing the pick-and-roll, he quickly saw that Simmons had a chance to cut inside, and directly passed the ball to the ground.

Simmons received the ball, forced a layup and made a successful foul.And made two free throws.

8: 8.

"Dang!" Irving missed a mid-range jumper.

This ball is a bit like the trick he used yesterday when he was duel with An Xiaonan.But no matter what the trick is, the success rate will drop a lot in the whole game.After all, the whole game needs to run back and forth, fast and slow, which is beyond your control...

So the rhythm of breathing will also be disrupted to a certain extent.Therefore, in the NBA, the most difficult thing to master is not basketball skills, but the skills to adjust one's own breathing.

Irving is already a master in this regard, but his season shooting percentage will not exceed [-]%.

An Xiaonan was in good form tonight. Through the pick-and-roll, he pulled the Celtics center Horford in front of him for a small fight and a big one-on-one.

With a feint shot, he opened up the shooting space for himself. To be on the safe side, he added a step back, and then shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Although Horford's interference played a certain role, it is clear that An Xiaonan is in excellent condition.

"Swipe!" An Xiaonan hit a three-pointer steadily, and An Xiaonan once again succeeded in a small hit.

But Horford was not discouraged.As the offensive center of the Celtics, he can easily get scoring opportunities.For example, after the Celtics ran a series of pass pick-and-roll screens, Horford made a step-up mid-range shot from inside the three-point line...

Horford is an experienced offensive kaleidoscope in the center position.Vucevic has no advantage in front of him at all...

But Gordon also performed well tonight.An Xiaonan's pass revitalized the team, and Gordon made a layup.

The scores of the two sides are still anxious.Nearly halfway through the first quarter, at 10:11, the Magic trailed by one point.

Then, the game took some turns.After Vogel called a timeout, An Xiaonan started his scoring performance...
