Chapter 354: The Female Coach of the Spurs Department (2/3)
The All-Star Game is still a bit far away for him now, and the rookie game is just around the corner, and if he can take this opportunity to break some records and get a single consumption pack, then he won't look so embarrassed when it comes to the main game.
Thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Hamon.
Before the All-Star start, although he was full of confidence in the people around him, including Duffy, he still didn't have much confidence in the real game, after all, Yao Ming was not very suitable for this kind of performance competition.
It's never easy for a player to find a balance between performance and game.
Fortunately, Harmon's presence now allows him to completely eliminate these concerns.
Although the game hasn't started yet, the tactical setup of a few minutes ago gives him reason to believe that Hamon's presence will make this rookie game different.
At the end of the acrobatic performance, the promotional video of the rookie game began to be shown on the big LED screen, accompanied by a passionate background music, and the rookie game players appeared in the video with clips, which attracted bursts of cheers from the audience.
After the video introduction, the rookie game starters then appeared.
On the U.S. side, Smart from Boston and Zach LaVine from the Timberwolves are in the backcourt, Jabari Parker is last year's top star at small forward, and this year's No. 1 Lang Towns and Tanhua show Okafor are on the inside.
On the world team's side, the inside line is a combination of Porzingis and Nukic, the front line is Wiggins, and the outside line is a combination of Moodier and Tang Shuai.
The whistle sounded soon on the sidelines. Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the starters of both sides stretched out their hands to the crowd. While walking towards the arena.
At the same time, all over China. Including university dormitories, wall-mounted TVs in street shops, office computers, and station TVs, as long as there is a live signal, there is a good chance that CCTV 5 will be broadcast live, because of Tang Shuai's existence, the rookie competition has attracted millions or even tens of millions of viewers in China.
Toronto's Aviation Centre Arena.
"Come on!" In a row at the back of the audience, Zhu Shan looked at the arena with a flushed face, and pressed her fists tightly.
The commentary for this game is from T.N.T's aces "Shark" O'Neal and "Big Mouth" Barkley.
"Hey, Shaq, it's another annual rookie game. How does it feel to go from the coach's seat to the commentary bench again, from the opponent to the partner again? Barkley touched his slippery head and said to O'Neill with a smile.
In 2013, the rookie game was still played according to the first- and second-year teams, and the head coaches of the two teams happened to be O'Neal and Barkley, and the two teams were also known as O'Neal and Barkley at that time, and this year was also the first time that the two had partnered to explain the All-Star Rookie Game since that year.
"Charles, I don't know if it's the right basketball theory to talk to the kids on the sidelines. It's obviously more fun to chat and fart here. O'Neill said and looked to the sidelines seriously, "Look at Becky, she took over my class very well, although she looked much more nervous than I was. ”
Barkley laughed at O'Neal's cheekiness.
Just when the two of them were chatting and farting in the comment seat. The starters from both sides were already on the field, and it was Nukic and Downs who jumped the ball.
With the referee's whistle, Downs jumped to his feet and slapped the ball into the U.S. half. The first quarter of the game between the two sides officially began.
"Shaq, who do you think is most likely to win the MVP of this game?" Wait until the game on the field starts. Barkley turned to O'Neal and asked.
"Zack of the U.S. and Don of the World are the two most likely pairs, but it's all about which team will emerge victorious." O'Neill said with a smile.
"Zach I think it's promising. But why do you think there is hope for Don too? Isn't Andrew more hopeful? He was last year's MVP, and this year he's more mature. "Barkley had a lot of opinions about Tang Shuai after the first round of All-Star voting.
"Maybe you think that Becky is the coach of the Spurs and his scoring comes more from the inside, or like you said, Andrew is the ace of the world team, but the truth is, after so many games, it's not a problem because the rookie Saitang is significantly higher than the others." O'Neill said lightly.
"Oh, Shaq, you're not kidding! Why do you suddenly have such thoughts! Barkley was visibly taken aback by O'Neal's remarks.
"Am I kidding, you'll find out when the game starts." O'Neill is still very confident, and he is one of the few American celebrities who supports Tang Shuai.
By the time O'Neal said this, the U.S. had already completed their first offense, and LaVine took advantage of his teammate's block to shoot straight to the basket, and when he was still two meters away from the basket, he had already kicked himself in the air with both legs.
The All-Star Game was a show-based game, and Nukic naturally flashed to the side under the basket.
Laven has a lightweight, one-handed clasp.
The muffled sound of "bang" caused a burst of excited cheers from the fans at the scene.
The slam dunk contest hasn't started yet, but LaVine has already entered the state early.
"Oh, an amazing bounce, is this guy using the rookie game as a training ground for a slam dunk contest!" Barkley couldn't help but exclaim.
The buckle was full of ornamentation, and the fans cheered at the scene, showing the highlights of the All-Star Game to the fullest.
This would have been a good thing, but at this moment, Harmon on the sidelines couldn't help frowning.
The attack of the world team, after Moodier controlled the ball to the frontcourt, a breakthrough attracted the bag, and then passed the ball to Porzingis on the flank, and Porzingis raised his hand was a big parabolic backward jumper.
"Bang!"
The basketball smashed into the basket at a good angle, but unfortunately the force was a little stronger, and the rebound was grabbed by Downs.
"Dirk-style shooting, it's a pity that the center of gravity control is a little bit worse, and Kristaps still has a long way to go to become the next Dirk." O'Neill commented from the sidelines.
The offense of the American team, Smart held the ball to the front court for an accelerated breakthrough, and gave the ball to Downs on the wing, Downs faced Nukic's defense, and it was directly a beautiful turn, followed by a violent frame with both hands.
Somewhat similar to the last time, Nukic gave up defending after being shaken off by Downs, allowing Towns to fully display his talent.
There was a more violent cheer from the fans at the scene, and Towns's dunk pushed the atmosphere to another climax.
"Another brilliant dunk! The U.S. team is full of offensive firepower! Barkley let out another exclamation.
But just then, the world team suddenly called a timeout. (To be continued.) )
