Chapter 431: A unique showdown

There was no big problem in winning against the Clippers, but the game was not all smooth sailing. In the third quarter of the game, a scene that the Warriors players did not want to see happened again. Rasheed Wallace fell to the ground and left injured.

On the field, it was determined that the back was injured in the subsequent MRI examination, and the situation was not optimistic. The recovery period is expected to be as long as two months. Read the full article.

Recently, due to Chandler's injury, Wallace's playing time has been much more than before. In addition to starting at the power forward position, he also often plays a guest role at center. The result of this is his physical strength.

It consumes a lot.

The consequences of heavy physical exertion usually lead to injuries, as evidenced by Rasheed Wallace.

At this time, it is obviously meaningless to investigate the cause of Wallace's injury. The Warriors lost their starting power forward, and for a long period of time.

The injuries of Chandler and Hinrich have already caused the Warriors to suffer from injuries. Now that Wallace is injured again, neither the Warriors' senior management nor Nelson believes that relying on the current players in the team can completely make up for Wallace's injury.

There is a vacancy, and they need to bring in another powerful insider.

There were still eight days until the trade deadline. After realizing this, the Warriors' front office team began to act quickly.

While the Warriors' top brass, headed by Chris Mullin, was actively looking for trade possibilities with some teams, Yang Shuai went to Dallas with Nelson and Tyreke Evans.

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

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

There are many activities during the All-Star Weekend, but the real theme is only three days. The first one is the Rookie Challenge. In the previous two seasons, Yang Shuai participated in the Rookie Challenge. In the first season, he only played on the court.

Last season, Yang Shuai, who had greatly improved his strength, participated in the Rookie Challenge again, led the second-year team to win and won the MVP of the Rookie Game.

This season is Yang Shuai's third season in the NBA. Logically speaking, he has missed the Rookie Challenge. However, after the Rookie Challenge started, 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 game. Of course, the Rookie Challenge in previous years has attracted a lot of attention, but this year is obviously something special. The first-year rookies

We're going to be playing against second-year players on the court, and off the court, there's two guys that are going to have a unique showdown."

Barkley, the on-site commentator, shouted with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, Kenny Smith immediately interrupted: "Charles, in order to avoid your introduction being too obvious, I think it's better for me to introduce both parties."

The starting lineup will 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 arranged by 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 is competing against him is LeBron James.

Everyone knows that David Stern did it on purpose this time. The first-year head coach is Yang Shuai and the second-year head coach is James. Everyone knows the discord between the two. David Stern

She doesn'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 was very interesting. He asked who can win, not which ball.

The 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 the attention of this year's Rookie Challenge is higher than before. There is no doubt that there is a big difference.

Part of it is because of Yang Shuai and James.

Fans have watched some of the duels between Yang Shuai and James on the court, and almost every time they were exciting, the fans never minded more duels between the two. Unfortunately, the teams they played were in the east and west divisions, so the number of duels was really limited.

Duo. Now that I have the opportunity to watch the unique showdown between the two, the interest of the fans has naturally been aroused again.

"It seems like the game is about to start. I think we should explain the tactics!" From the moment he entered the arena, Yang Shuai has been laughing and haha. Seeing that the game is about to start, Yang Shuai seems to have just woken up from a dream.

He stood up and said a fairy tale.

After hearing Yang Shuai's words, the first-year players suddenly started to sweat. Yang Shuai actually remembered the identity of his coach, which really surprised them.

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

"Dejuan Blair, Tyreke Evans, James Harden, Brandon Jennings, Stephen Curry, come on."

As soon as Yang Shuai said this, the players on the first-year team all looked at each other. There are nine players in the first-year team, including five outsiders and four insides. The combination is reasonable, but Yang Shuai is better. This time he sent

Four of the five perimeter players are deployed on the inside, while only DeJuan Blair is deployed. What kind of arrangement is this?

"Okay, guys, there is no doubt that you heard it wrong. I just want four of you guards to appear on the court. If I guess correctly, the second-year team will send at least two big men, or even three, to catch

Seize this opportunity and concentrate your firepower to attack from the outside at the beginning.

Give the ball to Tyreke, Tyreke, what you have to do is to keep attacking the opponent's inside, and then distribute the ball to James, Brandon, and Stephen on the outside. DeJuan, your task is to fight

Every rebound you can get, any questions?"

Several players who were named to start shook their heads and said there was no problem. Yang Shuai was the coach and they could 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 of grabbing rebounds? This is his most common job.

"Huh? Yang actually sent four outside players? What does he want to do?" Kenny Smith kept thinking about the first-year starting lineup, and it became more and more wrong. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what Yang Shuai was doing.

Charles Barkley on the side was really a die-hard fan of Yang Shuai. He immediately shouted: "It seems that Yang has been prepared for this game. I feel that I should celebrate for the first-year team."

"You know your inside strength is not good, so why don't you just throw away the inside?" James on the other side sneered inwardly when he saw the players on Yang Shuai's side.

As Yang Shuai expected, James sent three big players, Brook Lopez and Kevin Love in the interior, and Mike - who can play at both the third and fourth positions at the small forward position.

Beasley, on the outside, partners with Thunder point guard Westbrook and Grizzlies guard OJ Mayo.

When James thought about it, his team would have a firm advantage in such a matchup. After all, his team had extraordinary internal strength and very good external strength. However, after the game started, he found that things were different from what he had imagined.

too far.

Evans breaks through, Harden, Jennings, and Curry, who are very good on the outside, fire from a distance, and Blair rushes for rebounds. The first-year team adopted an unconventional play, but facts have proven that this play is very effective.

obvious.

The three starters on the first-year team all have very good shooting abilities. When they only need to be responsible for shooting on the court, they are very efficient. 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, both Kevin Love on the inside and OJ Mayo on the outside felt a little helpless in the face of his ox-like body, but they were slightly relieved after Mike Beasley switched defenses.

It has a restrictive effect, but for Beasley, it is difficult for him to stay focused on the court and attack seriously. Let him concentrate on defense? He might as well choose to sleepwalk on the court.

"Tyreke broke through, he rushed in again, was careful with his point shot, layup, Tyreke made a layup, and the ball went in! He left 5 seconds for the sophomore team."

There were only 5 seconds left, but the sophomore team failed to catch it. Westbrook missed a three-pointer. The sophomore team had to accept the fact that they were still 4 points behind after the first quarter.

27:31, after the first quarter, the first-year students were 4 points ahead of the second-year students. This obviously exceeded many people's expectations. The camera scanned the benches of both sides at the end of the first quarter, and Yang Shuai was smiling.

It was in sharp contrast to James' stern look.

If it were just a rookie game focused on entertainment, James wouldn't think too much about it. He would leave the scene to the players. But now that the head coach of the first-year team is Yang Shuai, the meaning is obviously different.

Five minutes into the second quarter, Yang Shuai was sitting leisurely off the court. If possible, he would even want to bring a plate of melon seeds and taste them carefully.

In fact, the score difference between the two grade teams was not big, only 8 points. However, Yang Shuai felt relieved when he saw that the first grade team always took the initiative on the court.

Evans broke through and once again penetrated to the basket seemingly easily. The second-year team tried several players to defend Evans, but the effect was never good.

For a layup, Evans rushed to the basket and leaned on Kevin Love. The ball fell steadily into the basket. With two minutes left in the second quarter, the first-year team successfully closed the gap.

The freshman year reached double digits.

"Beep!" As the referee blew his whistle, the first half of the game ended. The score 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 immediately stood up from his seat, then whistled and shouted to the first-year team members who were still beside him: "Guys, rest! Recuperate. We are fully prepared for the second half of the game, today is destined to be a moment for us to create history."

Yang Shuai couldn't help but be excited. Just now, when he glanced at the other side, he noticed that James on the coach's bench had a gloomy face. He could make James' face change drastically without even playing. It was natural for handsome guy Yang to do so. happy.

"Woohoo!" The Warriors players whined, followed by Yang Shuai and walked quickly towards the player tunnel, and then entered the dressing room. ^-^138 Kanshu.com (www.) No pop-up window reading^-^
