NBA: The strongest talent

In the next few rounds, both Durant and Yang Xu’s shooting percentages decreased.

But the entire second quarter was almost a two-person session.

Durant scored 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting and 3-of-4 free throws.

Yang Xu was even more exaggerated, 7 of 10, 3 of 3 free throws, and crazy cut 20 points.

In one fell swoop, he led the Knicks to lead the Thunder and end the first half.

When Yang Xu took the penalty, many fans even shouted “MVP!”

This is almost a miracle for a rookie.

Some of the other stars on the court, Durant and Harrington, were suddenly eclipsed.

At halftime, the Knicks returned to the locker room.

Some substitute players immediately gathered around Yang Xu and began to boast in various ways.

“Yang Xu, you were so powerful just now, Durant couldn’t beat you!”

“Yes, that one dunk, actually directly dunked Green, it’s too perverted.”

“If you continue to fight like this, the best rookie may be yours.”

At this time, Harrington, who was on the side, coughed hard twice.

Everyone glanced over there and returned to their respective places.

The more beautiful Yang Xu was, the more lonely Harrington became.

He wants the team to win, but he wants to be under his own leadership.

And not someone else, and even less a rookie.

He thought that Yang Xu’s job was to defend and assist himself, but he didn’t expect to become the protagonist.

What was even more infuriating was that those substitute players were all gathered around Yang Xu, completely ignoring themselves as the boss.

Just when he was about to trouble Yang Xu, D’Antoni also came to the dressing room.

Patting the tactical board, his face was full of excitement, “Boys, the first half played well, and the fans on the scene were completely detonated. ”

“In the second half, adjust the starting lineup, Yang Xu, Hill, Duhon, Gallinari, Larry Hughes you are on.”

In the pre-season, every team will not give their full strength, and the main team will play very little.

There was no objection to this decision.

Harrington was a little unhappy, in the first half, he was crazy targeted, the data is very unsatisfactory.

He didn’t play in the second half, and although the preseason was irrelevant, he considered himself a star, and the statistics were still too ugly.

But at this time, the coach has already arranged, and it is not good for him to say anything more.

After D’Antoni finished arranging the tactics, he sat down next to Yang Xu.

Yang Xu looked at him suspiciously, “Coach, is something wrong?” ”

D’Antoni laughed: “Your performance in the first half was so good, it completely surprised me, but in the second half, I want to see the other points on you!” ”

“Other points? Coach, I don’t understand! ”

“I want to see your passes, in the second half you reduce your attack and share the ball more with your teammates!”

Yang Xu was stunned for two seconds, passing ability?

It’s not that he can’t do it, but it’s not that good.

Most of his training is carried out by himself, and he plays few games.

Even if you have the strongest talent, you still need some time to learn, the timing of passing, the angle of passing, the strength of passing.

These are very exquisite, and by no means can they be done well with good physical fitness.

Yang Xu wasn’t sure if he could do a good job and meet the coach’s expectations, but since the coach mentioned it, he only agreed.

“I’ll try!”

Yang Xu didn’t know that D’Antoni already had an idea to make him the next Nash.

Nash may not be a good fit, but Nash is the best point guard D’Antoni has coached.

The best point guard in his mind is Nash.

At the start of the second half, the players came on the field.

The Knicks’ Harrington, David Lee, and the Thunder’s Durant, Wilson are all on the bench.

This game will not play again, but fortunately, Yang Xu is the most rookie and will continue to play.

As soon as he appeared, there was a cheer from the scene.

It’s like a superstar coming out, who would have thought that this was just a guy who had just played two NBA preseason games.

Wei Shao, who was sitting on the field, actually wanted to play too.

But the head coach didn’t let him, so he could only watch Yang Xu perform angrily off the field.

Now the lineup of the two sides, Yang Xu is even more unstoppable.

As long as he wants to score, no one can prevent him.

But the coach arranged for him to pass the ball more, and he had to change his style of play.

As soon as Yang Xu took the ball, he was immediately pressed.

He stepped on his feet and immediately passed the defender, facing the one-man inside, he feigned a layup.

The attention of the interior defenders was all attracted by Yang Xu, who went straight to Hill, and Hill received the ball and smashed the basket with both hands.

Another offensive round, Yang Xu once again entered the inside line.

Faced with the two defenders, he threw the ball to Duhon in the bottom corner.

The latter raised his hand for three points and seized the open three points.

Due to Yang Xu’s super scoring ability shown before, the Thunder treated Yang Xu’s defense particularly strictly.

So much so that two defenders will always appear beside Yang Xu.

In this way, the Knicks have gained a lot of open slots.

Although Yang Xu’s pass was not particularly timely, it was enough for the attacker.

Every pass is almost a huge opening, and as a professional, this is enough.

In eight minutes, Yang Xu scored 2 points and 6 assists.

Completed the task of the coach perfectly.

Outsiders watch the liveliness, insiders watch the doorway.

Those who don’t understand the ball see the data of 8 minutes and 6 assists, and definitely think that they are passing masters.

But D’Antoni knew that those assists were all earned through personal attraction.

Compared to Nash, Yang Xu’s passing kung fu is still much worse.

But he had confidence and cultivated Yang Xu.

In the following game, the Knicks replaced Yang Xu, and the game was already a certainty, and there was no need to continue.

And Yang Xu is now a treasure in his hand, in such a competition that has nothing to do with results, it is completely unnecessary to continue to consume.

The final game ended with the Knicks at 111:103 for the Thunder.

Durant scored 26 points, Wilson had 11 points and five assists.

Harrington 4 points, David Lee 6 points.

Yang Xu came off the bench and scored a game-high 31 points, plus 10 assists.

Best in the field!
