Chapter 211 A little stiff

Brandon Jennings dribbled the ball over quickly. This is not a regular season or playoff game, so there is no need to control the offensive rhythm so accurately because there is no need to use too complicated tactics.

Jennings handed the ball to Curry, who suddenly shot a 3-pointer from the outside - short!

But under the basket, Spurs youngster DeJuan Blair suddenly jumped up, grabbed the offensive rebound, and passed the ball to Evans on the outside.

Facing Xie Kai, Evans rushed in with the ball and passed it to Kings teammate Casspi near the baseline!

Casspi hit a jumper—there it was!

The first grade team takes the lead!

The first-grade team temporarily leads 2:0.

"When Tyreke faces Kane, does it feel like he's playing an intra-team match?" Mike Breen said with a smile.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "The boss of Sacramento is probably laughing so hard that there are actually three young players starting in this Rookie Challenge!"

"Tyrek and Kane were expected, but Omi's performance was surprising!" Mike Breen said.

Here, Westbrook breaks out from the outside and passes to Brook Lopez under the basket, but Curry sees through it!

Curry steals successfully!

First grade varsity transition!

Evans in the frontcourt received a pass from Curry, drove to the basket, and dunked with one hand!

The first grade team quickly took a 4-0 lead!

The fans at the scene burst into cheers. This was the first dunk in the game, which quickly put the fans into a state of excitement.

The offensive rhythm of both sides in the Rookie Challenge is very fast. Almost all of them are quick attacks. They start the attack with a simple pass or pick-and-roll. The attack time is not even 24 seconds, not to mention 14 seconds.

The second-grade team hasn't scored yet! Here, Westbrook rode through the barrier alone, broke into the opponent's penalty area, smashed Huashan, and tomahawk dunk to break the team's scoring drought!

Jennings and DeJuan Blair alley-ooped back, but Brook Lopez broke it out of bounds!

Curry made a free throw from the bottom line and gave it to Jennings at the top of the key!

Jennings did a trick of dribbling under his crotch, then suddenly made an emergency stop and shot a 3-pointer - there it was!

The first grade team leads 7:2!

On the second-grade team's side, Westbrook pushed forward and gave it to Xie Kai.

Xie opened the points to Mayo, who returned 3 points and one - but no!

DeJuan Blair collected the backcourt rebound and handed it to Jennings to counterattack!

Casspi received a pass from Jennings and missed a layup!

Xie Kai grabbed a backcourt rebound, pushed forward himself, and scored inside Lopez!

Lopez didn’t attack the basket either!

Curry collected the rebound, counterattacked, and hit a 3-pointer!

The first grade team leads 10:2 in the opening period!

"Jeff, my God, the offensive pace is so fast, it almost makes my eyes blur. Compared with them, the '7-second offense' of Mike D'Antoni's Suns team back then is nothing!" Mike

Bryn laughed.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "There is no defense on both sides. They are all running fast breaks. Both sides are young and have good physical strength. They are running around. Poor Brook, a 7-foot big man is following small guards like Brandon.

!”

If they were beaten 10:2 at the beginning of the regular season or playoffs, the coach of the team behind would definitely call a timeout to rearrange and adjust. But this is the Rookie Challenge. There are not many timeouts in the first place, and the outcome is not that important, so

Patrick Ewing, the second-year coach of the team, didn't even stand up and sat there calmly.

The game continues.

Westbrook dribbled over, made a sudden pass, and passed it to the bottom corner.

Xie Kai caught the ball and came up with a 3-pointer - he actually shot a "three-pointer"...

In a game of this intensity, Xie Kai, as a shooter, actually missed three shots... Even the commentator, Mike Breen, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Jeff, Kane looks a little weird!"

Jeff Van Gundy nodded in agreement and said: "I also noticed that from the first two rounds, his body movements seemed very stiff. I think he should be a little nervous! After all, it was his first time to participate in the National Football League.

The competition for Star Weekend!”

Mike Breen also agrees with this analysis, otherwise it would be difficult to explain that there was no news before the game that Xie Kai had physical problems. It was not physical, it could only be psychological.

The observation of the two commentators was indeed careful enough. Xie Kai did feel that his body was a little tight. He kept hinting that he should not be nervous, but his body was still very nervous. When he was nervous, he could not keep up with such a fast offensive and defensive rhythm.

, the status fluctuates greatly, and the performance is also substandard.

Here, Evans used a screen from DeJuan Blair to break into the basket and successfully layup! With this kind of defensive intensity, he broke through easily and happily, without much difficulty.

At 12:2, the first-year team showed excellent offensive status after the start, suppressing the second-year big brothers.

Westbrook dribbled the ball over and passed it to Mayo, who was cutting through the air.

Mayo rode archery and scored 2 points!

The second grade team finally has a second person to score!

The fans at the scene were screaming, and they did not want to see a one-sided game. If the game loses suspense early, it will be meaningless.

On the first-year team, Evans and Curry cooperated, played too much, and made mistakes...

Looking back, Westbrook attacked the basket and passed it to Lopez, who easily scored 2 points!

The sophomore team chased the point difference to 12:6!

Xie Kai's family in the stands were also a little worried about his sluggish performance. They didn't know why he was acting so abnormally. It was a bit unlike him.

"Why do I think the second-year team played like a first-year team at the beginning, and the first-year team played like a second-year team?" Mike Breen said with amusement.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "There seem to be many reasons at present. Brook seems not very adaptable to this kind of game. The rhythm is too fast. Derek is not playing, and Kane is a little nervous!"

Xie Kai's first goal came late. It wasn't until more than 6 minutes into the first half that he received a second pass from Westbrook and hit a layup under the basket. Before that, he had made consecutive shots.

Conceded 5 goals.

Xie Kai only played 8 minutes and 03 seconds in the first half and was replaced by interim coach Patrick Ewing after a dead ball. It's not that Ewing didn't like him, he himself did feel that with his state in the first half

, I feel embarrassed to have to stay on the field all this time.

Xie Kai's replacement was Eric Gordon.

Before Xie Kai came off the court, he made 2 of 8 shots, including 0 of 3 3-pointers, no free throws, 4 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 3 turnovers. His performance was basically poor.
