Delhi. Kroos 18 points, 6 assists and 3 steals, OJ Mayo 16 points, Michael Brown. Beasley had 12 points and five rebounds, and Westbrook had 15 points and three assists.
At halftime, all major radio stations took the opportunity to report on the change of coach of the host Suns. It was supposed to be All-Star Weekend, and Phoenix was in a state of euphoria, but Suns coach Terry. Potter received a letter of dismissal after the show opened. According to local media in Phoenix, just hours before the start of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the Suns decided to fire coach Terry. Graham Potter, the news has just been officially confirmed by the team, and Porter's successor will be the team's assistant coach Erwin Potter. Kintley.
Previously, ESPN revealed that the Suns may "fire" Porter during the All-Star period, and it is clear that Kerr, the general manager of the Suns, is very dissatisfied with the team's 25-27 record, knowing that their roster can be called luxurious and deserves to finish in the top four, rather than not even being able to enter the playoffs as it is now.
Eight months ago, due to the former Suns coach De. Anthony had a feud with the team's general manager, Kerr, and as a result, the mustache ended up leaving New York. Porter, a former assistant coach with the Pistons, signed a three-year, $2 million contract with the Suns last June. In the first place, the reason why the Suns management took a fancy to Porter was because they appreciated his experience in coaching the team's defense. It is hoped that this will improve the defensive quality of the Suns and change the team's dilemma in the playoffs. But since Porter took over, he has never been able to solve the Suns' problems on the defensive end. And quickly lost his prestige in front of Nash and Stoudemire, because the Suns couldn't even play offense.
In Porter's tactical system, O'Neal got more offensive opportunities, but Nash's assist efficiency was not very good, Xiaosi was also taken up too much space, and the team was slowed down by the big sharks. Last December, the sun turned Raja. Bell and Boris. Dior traded to the Bobcats. In exchange for Jason. Richardson, still unable to improve the Suns' defense. The team's record has not improved either.
At the moment, the Phoenix Suns are only 10th in the West, and playoff qualification is in jeopardy, for a team with a luxurious roster. Such an achievement is obviously unjustifiable.
Jen LeBron. At halftime, Mes commented on the first half of the game: "In the first half, the sophomores had a bigger advantage on the inside, and they dominated from rebounding to scoring inside. The first-year led by more than 10 points at most, but they missed too many mistakes and were hit by back-to-back three-pointers from Fox and Durant. I know Wade talked about reducing mistakes in the game, and the problem arose. Late in the first half, Beasley and Westbrook's poor offense gave the sophomore a chance to fight back, and the two brothers led the team to a 13-2 score to tie and overtake the score. The second grade not only caught up with the score, but also turned the situation around. The final minutes of the first half of the first half of the first year were a bit of a one-on-one and they were not as experienced as the second grade. I don't know how to play more efficiently at critical moments. Also, I think the defense of the first year was also problematic, they were always on the feet, and the defense didn't keep up after the score was overtaken. The second grade is a real defense, a real robbery, and a real attack. Stretch the formation wide open and block from the halfway point. The twins did just like last year's All-Star Game today, except for a little relaxation in the opening stage, they were always playing hard. ”
Ji Guoyi was interviewed at halftime, and he told reporters: "Howard is very qualified for the role of coach today, when he walked out of the locker room before the game. Say to me, 'Fox, you have to be a beast today!' The little fox smiled and said, "He's a very good guy." As you can see, in the first half he kept pushing me on the sidelines, shouting 'don't worry, keep running, they're going to get tired in the second half.'" ''Fox, grab every rebound!'' Defend and as soon as you get the ball, hurry up and score! Wait. ”
Howard was also stopped by reporters at halftime, and the monster smiled and said: "I can't believe it, Fox scored 30 points in the first half, there is no doubt that he may have to score 60+ today, I hope he can do it." Actually, I think he's better than me, so I'm happy to be able to command him. ”
In the second half, Ji Guozhi reduced the breakthrough and increased the shooting, the reason was that the first-year team began to wrap him up, and the little fox didn't plan to break through the whole game, so try how he felt about shooting first, and it was always much easier to shoot on the outside.
The defensive intensity of the first-year team in the second half has finally been raised, and the players who can participate in the rookie game will not be inferior in physical quality, and if they have a good body, as long as they want to defend, they will not be too bad. Michael. Beasley played with his life, but Ji Guoyan didn't plan to force himself with the other party, and reused his old job, running without the ball and waiting for the panda hero to pass the ball.
Durant tried to increase the number of his offenses in the second half, constantly clapping his hands for the ball, but it didn't have much effect. Players on the second-grade team will choose to attack on their own, even if they don't pass to Brother Panda. Since Durant is not the boss of the team, he is destined to not get many shots. In the hearts of Brooks and others, although you Durant is powerful, it is no different from yourself, as long as you are not the boss, no matter how powerful you are, it is useless.
Ji Guoyi soon received a pass from the panda on the flank and hit a mid-range shot. A minute later, he threw in a one-on-one step-back shot from beyond the three-point line. Then, under the cover of Brother Panda, he broke through and took two steps to the basket, and jumped up directly to perform a tomahawk dunk!
James exclaimed, "Fox's dunk is powerful, he's a good dunk, and tomorrow he's in the dunk contest, and I'll be sure to watch it live." If the two brothers win the title of 'slam dunk king' in a row, it will also be a beautiful conversation in NBA history. ”
Ji Guosha put a few poss after he landed, but when he heard the gorilla call him a buckle general, the little fox was unhappy again, and said that you are only a buckle general, and when Lao Tzu officially makes a breakthrough, sooner or later you will explode your chrysanthemum!
In the second half, as the sophomore team took the lead, Wade knew his two-point guard strategy had failed. However, he simply changed the projection lineup since the breakthrough tactics didn't work, and it just so happened that they had Mayo and Fernandez and Gordon, all three of whom had excellent shooting ability.
At 15 minutes and 30 seconds, the first-year team took the lead in the second half, and they were replaced: Oj. Mayo, Eric. Gordon, Rudy. Fernandez, Michael. Beasley, Brooke. Lopez.
The lineup of the first-year team has played a very good role, or the first-year players are catching up with the excellent hand, and the rookie game defense is not as good as the official game after all, these players who are good at shooting have fully exerted their projection ability without enough pressure, and the shooting percentage is very high.
The second-grade team relied on the same accurate projection of Ji Guoyi and Durant, and began to form a tug-of-war with the first-grade team, and the Little Fox's score increased steadily in the matchup.
Two minutes later, the two brothers and Durant were replaced, and Howard planned to make two more substitutions in the final seven or eight minutes, during which time the rest of the sophomore team would go up and play for a while.
Ji Guoyi and Durant came off the court, the sophomore team's shooting rate dropped rapidly, Scola and Horford were not suitable for such a game, Brooks was also a little nervous, and the rest of the sophomore players were all convulsive types, obviously they didn't feel good today, so the first-year team only took three minutes to overtake the score.
"Damn, are we that weak?" Ji Guozhi felt a little incredible, his teammates were too weak, and they burst into it when they shot the iron?
The little fox's thoughts are not falling, Thaddeus. Jan was on the inside by Mark. Gasol took a risk, and Gasol Jr. has been playing very seriously in this game, and it can be seen that the first-year players are very eager to win.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Howard shouted excitedly on the sidelines, and Superman also felt that except for the twins and Durant, the rest of these sophomores were all waste, as long as he replaced these three people, the sophomore team would not be able to beat each other, could he still put these three people on the court all the time?
Wade looked like he was winning, standing on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, secretly posing to grab the camera.
Gordon and Mayo, two two-way guards, actually surpassed Jeff in the second year in attack power. Green and Thaddeus. Yang, many fans didn't expect it.
The two men threw four three-pointers one after another, plus one from Fernandez, and the first-year team threw five three-pointers in just three minutes. Gasol's blocking, the sophomore team's two-point shot during this period was not as efficient as the opponent's three-point shot.
At 9 minutes and 20 seconds in the second half, the score was 81:91, and the sophomore team actually trailed the first-year team by 10 points in less than five minutes.
At this time, Durant really wanted to play the role of the savior, go into battle to kill the enemy, and finally become a hero in the eyes of the American people, which is what Xiao Xuebao has always wanted to do.
But after he returned to the court, he sadly found that his thoughts were too unshown, and he still couldn't get the basketball after he returned to the court, which made Durant depressed and had the urge to release the water, he would never participate in such an All-Star game again, what was he doing here if he couldn't get the ball, did he run back?
Poor Durant should have thought that even if he was selected for the All-Star Game in the future, there would still be twin brothers there, and Kobe Bryant last year was an example, even Peter Pan was persecuted, and the two brothers were simply covered with one hand. (To be continued) R640
