Chapter 187 Dayao's cameo, dreaming of returning to the NCAA period!
During the warm-up period, Chen Yan and his teammates had a lot of fun.
In the first-year team, the Arab League and the young coach are all old acquaintances of Chen Yan. In addition, Jeff Green, Al Horford and Conley are not strangers to him. They are all players he has played against in the NCAA, so
Chen Yan gets along easily with his teammates.
"Dear viewers, what is about to begin is the All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge. Two Chinese players that everyone is paying close attention to, Chen Yan and A Lian, have also been selected for this Rookie Challenge. They will represent the first-year team.
, I hope they can bring a wonderful performance later!"
At the on-site commentary box, Zhang Weiping was dressed in formal attire and explained energetically.
Starting from the 1996 San Antonio All-Star Game, Zhang Lili has been responsible for the on-site commentary of the All-Star Game every year, and he is unstoppable.
In addition to the guidance of Zhang Weiping, there is also a heavyweight guest sitting in the commentary box, and that is today's special commentator Dayao.
The emergence of Dayao also added a lot of highlights to this rookie game, turning the duo of Chen Yan and Ah Lian into a threesome.
"Dayao, it's your first time to be a guest commentator. How do you feel?" Zhang Weiping said with a cheerful face.
"I'm still a little nervous. If Chen Yan and Ah Lian are rookies in the NBA, then I'm a rookie TV commentator." Dayao replied shyly with a smile.
"Dayao, please tell everyone about the rules of the rookie game. It's still a little different from the NBA game."
Zhang Lili also noticed that Dayao was a little nervous and kept creating opportunities for him to speak.
Dayao nodded: "NBA games are divided into 4 quarters, each section is 12 minutes long, while the Rookie Challenge is divided into two halves of 20 minutes each. Both teams have a 2-minute long timeout and a 20-second short timeout in each half.
During a timeout, no matter how many personal fouls there are, the team will not leave the game. If a team accumulates 10 fouls or any team commits two fouls in the last two minutes of the first and second half, they will automatically take free throws."
After introducing the rules, Dayao smiled: "The rules are generally similar to those of the NCAA. I don't know if Chen Yan and Durant can find the feeling of playing side by side in college."
Zhang Liji nodded: "Chen Yan and Durant are both outstanding first-year students and college teammates. If they perform well, they may be able to break the first-year curse of being winless for five consecutive years!"
Since 2003, the first-year team has not defeated the second-year team. Last year, the Las Vegas All-Stars lost 114 to 155 by 41 points!
However, the first-year rookie who was badly abused last year has been promoted to a second-year veteran this year.
The boy who slayed the dragon finally became a dragon, and the second-year players are already gearing up to start their journey of torturing vegetables!
The appearance ceremony ended quickly. The Rookie Challenge did not receive as much attention as the All-Star Game. It was just an appetizer before the meal, so the appearance ceremony was naturally not too flashy.
Afterwards, the starting players of both teams stayed in the center of the field.
First-year team: Mike Conley, Chen Yan, Durant, Jeff Green, Al Horford.
Before the game started, the camera gave a big close-up of Chen Yan's feet.
Tonight Chen Yan is wearing the All-Star special edition mandarin duck color [Yan Yi]. One shoe is pure white and the other is orange!
Before the game, neither Li Ning nor Chen Yan did much publicity for this color scheme. The reason is very simple. As long as Chen Yan wears this pair of shoes and gallops on the field, it is the best publicity!
"So sexy!"
“So cool!”
"Li Ning is really attentive to Chen Yan's sneaker design this time!"
“When will these shoes be released?”
The eyes of the fans in front of the TV were immediately attracted by this pair of shoes.
On the second-year bench, Barea and Azubuike looked at the pair of All-Star color [Yan Yi] on Chen Yan's feet, and at the same time, they were already talking about Chen Yan giving them two pairs of All-Star color [Yan Yi] after the game.
Already......
"Beep!"
As the referee blows his whistle, the game begins!
Aldridge beat Horford with a jump ball, giving the second-year team the first opportunity to attack.
One step beyond the three-point line, Bargnani took a shot directly after receiving Rondo's pass!
I don’t know if it was because of the Rookie Challenge, but Bargnani shot the ball very casually.
"Boom!"
The basketball popped out of the frame and bounced very far!
After Chen Yan picked up the ball, he directly pushed back and counterattacked!
Chen Yan led the ball in front, followed by Durant and Jeff Green.
"Chen Yan advanced with the ball, and the first-year team counterattacked very quickly. This is a rhythm that the Suns are familiar with, and it is also a rhythm that Chen Yan is familiar with!" Dayao said in the commentary box.
"Hey, it's very fast. I passed half the game by myself. Let's see how Chen Yan handles it!" Zhang Lili also raised his voice.
On the second-year team, only Rondo is in place, so it is obviously unrealistic to want to defend 1 against 3.
Facing Rondo's defense, Chen Yan didn't forget to show off and suddenly dribbled under his crotch!
Followed by a high-throwing board pass!
Chen Yan is not prepared to worry about what happens next. He knows that there are two teammates behind him, and whoever receives the ball will perform!
"Boom!"
There was a thumping sound. After receiving the pass from the board, Durant slammed his arms into the frame and simply faced his brothers to complete the connection!
After landing, Durant and Chen Yan had a passionate chest-to-head collision, and the scene seemed to have returned to the NCAA era!
The audience on the sidelines screamed again and again. This is a scene that fans like to see!
