Super Role Player

At six o'clock in the morning on Saturday, February 14, 2015, U.S. time, Anxi jumped up from the bed quite excitedly. Next to her was Abby. In the crib next to the big bed, little Angel was sleeping sweetly.

Anxi got up, first kissed Abby, who was already half asleep, and then ran to the crib and touched Angel's little face.

After whispering hello to Abby, Anxi washed up and went out directly.

Jogging around the hotel for morning exercise, the air in New York was still very good. Anxi ran around for a while. Not long after running, Anxi saw a few reporters beside the grass. Anxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized and smiled.

At this time, New York is a time when big names are gathering. A big hotel like the Hilton is bound to have reporters stationed nearby. But when they see Anxi, these reporters don’t have too many ideas. Anxi held a conference just one day ago. It was a small media meeting. It could be said that if there were any questions, they were all asked at that meeting.

When they met Anxi again a day later, they had no questions to ask and no interest.

After saying hello to Anxi, several reporters continued to stay there.

Anxi ran for a while, and soon received a call from NBA officials, Anxi was about to start work.

I found a car and drove it myself, and my destination was the Barclays Center.

…

The Barclays Center drove for half an hour from Anxi, Brooklyn, to arrive here. By the time he arrived, most of the young players participating in the rookie game had arrived.

However, Anxi's first task was not to meet with this group of young players. He was taken to another small room by the league staff. In that small room, Anxi met the player representatives of the Masters Game, Kevin Hart and Alan Houston.

Kevin Hart was the MVP of the last Masters, and Alan Houston was the CIC king and a New York legend. Being invited to compete in this Masters also had the meaning of being a landlord.

In this Masters Game, Anxi will coach the East Side Celebrity Team. Alan Houston is naturally the representative of the East Side Celebrity Team. On the other hand, the West Side Celebrity Team will be coached by James Harden. James Harden also has a strong player, naturally Lian Zhuang. MVP Kevin Hart.

Anxi said hello to Kevin Hart and James Harden, and then was pulled to the other side by Alan Houston to discuss the afternoon's Masters Game.

There will be a joint practice before the Masters, but it's just a formality.

It was too much to expect this group of amateur basketball enthusiasts to cooperate. Alan Houston took Anxi to discuss, and the discussion was only about the formation in the afternoon.

There are not many players in the Masters Game, and there are only eight players in the East End Celebrity Team. In addition to Alan Houston, there are also emerging movie star Ansel Elgort, famous actor Chadwick Boseman, and Indian movie star Abhishek- Bachchan, WNBA star Shawnee Schimmel, popular American sports player Money Davis, actor Anthony Anderson and comedian Michael Rapaport.

It was not easy to arrange the starting lineup. After all, they were all short. Anxi thought for a while and decided: "You, Sean Schimmel and Mani Davis will start. In addition, Abhishek Bachchan and Michael Rapaport will start." Also join the starting lineup.”

Anxi's starting list starts with three sports celebrities, three physically superior players, which shows Anxi's determination to win.

Abhishek Bachchan's first appearance is to take care of the Indian market, and Michael Rapaport is because he is a comedian. With one more comedian on the field, there may be a lot more highlights and jokes.

Anxi's arrangement was comprehensive enough, and Alan Houston naturally agreed with it.

After arranging the Masters Tournament, Anxi went to the court where the young players from the Rookie Tournament were waiting.

Anxi doesn’t need to worry about the grouping of the rookie game, because this year’s rookie game will be divided into two groups: the international team and the American team. Anxi will naturally lead the international team. Stephen Curry is the head coach of the American team. The two will compete in the rookie game. A different kind of showdown took place on the field.

Rookies on the international team include Andrew Wiggins (Minnesota Timberwolves), Steven Adams (Oklahoma City Thunder), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks), Bojan Bogdanovic (Brooke Brooks) Nets), Gerd Dieng (Minnesota Timberwolves), Dante Exum (Utah Jazz), Nikola Mirotic (Chicago Bulls), Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz), Kevin O. Linick (Boston Celtics), Dennis Schroder (Atlanta Hawks).

The rookies of the U.S. team include Mike Caraway (New York Knicks), Victor Oladipo (Orlando Magic), Trey Burke (Utah Jazz), Pope (Detroit Pistons), Zach LaVine (Minnesota Timberwolves), Shabazz Muhammad (Minnesota Timberwolves), Nerlens Noel (Philadelphia 76ers), Mason Plumlee (Brooklyn Nets), Cody Taylor (Charlotte Hornets), Alfred Payton (Orlando magic).

Anxi saw McAway from a distance, and the two said hello, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Michael, how are you? How are you doing lately?"

"Not bad." McAway responded briefly, with no special expression on his face, but Anxi knew that McAway had some opinions on Anxi in his heart, and even held back his anger.

Originally, as the best rookie, McAway should be the real core of the 76ers' team building, but the emergence of Anxi not only took away McAway's opportunity, but also made McAway's performance on the court more difficult. Eventually I had to walk away.

McAway's response was brief, and the two of them said nothing more. Anxi turned around and summoned his own players.

Andrew Wiggins, a Canadian, is the No. 1 pick this season. He joined the Timberwolves through a trade. He has averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game so far this season, which can be regarded as a certain performance as the No. 1 pick.

Steven Adams, a New Zealand athlete and sophomore, averaged 7.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game this season. His performance this season has made up for the Thunder's internal deficiencies.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, the tall Greek player, has made significant progress this season, averaging 12.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game. As a sophomore, he was also selected for the rookie game.

Bojan Bogdanovic, Bosnian, rookie this season, three-point shooter, averaging 9.0 points and 2.7 rebounds per game this season.

Gedhidion, Senegalese athlete, post, sophomore, averaged 9.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season.

Dante Exum, Australian, point guard, rookie; Nikola Mirotic, Spanish, forward; Rudy Gobert, French, center, Kevin Olynyk, Canadian, center, Dennis Schroeder, French, point guard.

These are all the players under Anxi. According to the reputation data, the starting lineup has long been determined, point guard Dennis Schroeder, shooting guard Andrew Wiggins, small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, power forward Nikola Mirotic and center Rudy Gobert.

Different from the Masters Game, the rookie Anxi was going to play some tactical tricks, so he gathered all the young players and said a few words first.

"Dear young talents, I am Anxi, you can call me An."

A total of ten players stood in front of Anxi, some of them smiled, and Anxi also smiled: "You are all newcomers who have just entered the league, or have just entered the league for more than a year. The rookie game is where you show yourself in front of everyone. On the first stage, you must really want to win the final victory, and you must also want to play a perfect game, but what I want to say is that if you want to win and have a perfect performance, you must follow my instructions."

"Because your playing time is under my control, your playing style on the court must also be according to my instructions."

Anxi's idea is very simple. In this rookie game, he also wants his players to cooperate, instead of blindly playing alone and blindly grabbing the right to take shots. He doesn't want to see such a game.

Therefore, after Anxi said a few words, he felt that it was almost done, so he arranged a time to practice tactics.

Anxi's tactical layout is also very simple, which is simple pick-and-roll tactics and some corner tactics.

Most teams have routines for these two tactics, so they are very simple to practice.

In addition, Anxi also asked the players for their opinions. Some players hope to make contributions in the rookie game. Anxi is prepared to allocate shooting rights based on the wishes of these players and their status at the time.

The final result of the inquiry was that both Andrew Wiggins and Giannis Antetokounmpo were interested in performing well in the rookie game, so Anxi was prepared to allocate most of the shots to these two people.

After roughly making arrangements, Anxi left the Barclays Center.

Anxi was very busy. He took advantage of his free time in the afternoon and went to another private arena in Brooklyn to meet several of his teammates from the Shooting Star Competition the next day.

Charles Barkley opened his arms and rushed towards Anxi. Such a fat man of 300 pounds was about to hang on Anxi.

"Ann, are you happy? Are you excited? From now on, I am your teammate!" Charles Barkley was very arrogant. He had a great desire to perform. Even if there was no one in the arena, he seemed very lively. active.

"You should feel very excited to have a Hall of Fame player as your teammate!"

Anxi smiled and nodded, as if he had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes, Charles, I'm very excited, I'm very high!"

Anxi said something perfunctory, then turned to look at the other side. Elena Dorn, the star of the WNBA Washington Mystics, is popular in the United States with her perfect face. Of course, her basketball skills are also very powerful, otherwise she would just rely on her face. Face, it is still difficult for her to reach this point. At least Anxi will not consider a player with poor basketball skills when choosing a shooting star teammate.

The combination of the Shooting Star Competition is usually composed of three people, an active player, a retired NBA player, and a WNBL star, so Anxi's Shooting Star team is complete.

The rules of the Shooting Star Competition are that there are 6 shooting points, and three people shoot separately. Only after the previous person makes a shot can the next person shoot. The winner will be determined through one round of competition. The six shooting points are: 45 degrees 3 meters on the right, 45 degrees 3 meters on the left, three-pointers from the top of the circle, 3-pointers from the bottom line on the right, 45-degree three-pointers from the left and 3-pointers from midfield . The competition is divided into two rounds, with two teams eliminated in the first round and the winner determined in the second round.

For Anxi, shooting at these six shooting points is not a big problem. Elena Dorn may spend a little more time, but it is not a big problem. It is Charles Barkley. As an inside player in the player era, Charles Barkley The three-pointer is a problem, and the mid-to-long-range shooting is not a big problem, but whether Charles Barkley, who has retired for a long time, can still find the crosshairs is indeed a problem.

Anxi had a skeptical attitude, and Charles Barkley was naturally unconvinced. He shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc and a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the results were accurate. Then, Charles Barkley started to complain again.

Anxi was helpless, but these two three-pointers still allowed Anxi to see the good condition maintained by Charles Barkley, and also allowed Anxi to see the hope of winning the Shooting Star Competition.

After Anxi practiced shooting with Elena Dorn and Charles Barkley for a while, Anxi began to practice dunking in the other half.

Shooting is really nothing for Anxi to practice, but for dunking, Anxi has to prepare a few routines.

Charles Barkley came over and wanted to give some guidance, but was eventually driven away by Anxi.

…

The All-Star game in the afternoon is quickly approaching, and the Barclays Center is gradually becoming lively. As the NBA's annual show, the Barclays Center has many celebrities from all walks of life in the United States. Some of them come to join in the fun, and some of them really like it. Basketball, there are also some who come to the scene to seek exposure.

For example, an 18th-tier actress from China was wearing sexy clothes and holding up a one-to-one portrait of Anxi. She looked like a fan of Anxi, but in fact, what does such a big-breasted and brainless woman know about basketball? How much, no one knows.

However, through the live broadcast, she suddenly became popular all over the world.

Anxi ignored these ghosts and monsters on the sidelines. He turned around and walked to the coaching bench, directly organized his players to go on the court to warm up, and then he accepted an interview on the sidelines with Turner Sports sideline reporter David Aldridge.

"An, what are your goals for participating in the Masters and Rookie Games as a coach this time?"

Anxi smiled: "This is the beginning of my coaching career. I hope to win these two games and give my coaching career a good start."

"Are you going to start those celebrities in the Masters Game?"

"I have already thought about the starting lineup, but I am not ready to reveal it yet." Anxi gave up, and David Aldridge shook his head and laughed.

Then, the last question was asked: "So if you win these two games, how will you celebrate?"

"I'll treat everyone to a big meal."
