If I were Yi Di in the NBA

Chapter 190

On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, Durant looked like a dog. He got a job as an assistant coach for the first-year team in the Rookie Challenge.

But he used to be just having fun and not working like a real assistant coach.

After all, in the All-Star arena, the head coach is just playing casually, mainly for entertainment.

As a spectator now, Yi Jian doesn't care about winning or losing the game at all.

He will definitely cheer for Lopez, but as a technical insider, Lopez may not be able to determine the trend of the game.

"Coach Kevin, who do you like?" Yi Jian joked.

"The rookie team doesn't have players like us, so it's hard to say." Durant shook his head and said.

Although he is the assistant coach of the first-year team, he feels that the second-year team is much stronger. They don't even have a formal center forward.

The second-year team, but their team's starting center Lopez, and Gasol Jr. on the bench, played a ball.

"Aren't you still optimistic about Curry? I feel that this kid is mediocre." Durant said.

Yi Jian smiled and said: "He is not the core of the team's tactics now, and his performance is very good now. After the Warriors make him the boss, you will know that this kid is difficult to deal with."

"In the rookie game, generally active players will show their faces, not because of their strength."

He and Durant were strong enough and willing to perform.

This year, Yi Jian's impression was shocking. The second-year team was really sorry for their lineup.

Durant must think that his good buddy Beasley is the strongest, but Beasley is getting more and more mediocre now.

No one on the rookie team could guard him, but unlike last year, some of the sophomores wouldn't give him face, and he thought it wouldn't be so smooth playing singles without distinction.

The second-year team started with Westbrook, Mayo, Beasley, Gallinari, and Lopez, and there were Xiaojia, Love and others on the bench. It is reasonable to kill the opponent with just rebounds.

Because the rookie team has no center, they can only play a small lineup.

Curry, Jennings, Evans three guard lineup, plus Israel Jordan Casspi, and Blair.

Except for Harden, everyone else on the bench is mediocre. Now it seems that the 2009 class is reimbursed because of the No. [-] pick, and the lineup is really stretched.

After the game started, it was indeed unexpectedly intense.

Without defense, the scores of the two teams rose alternately.

Obviously, the most active starters on both sides are Evans, Blair, Westbrook and Beasley.

In fact, Beasley was full of fighting spirit since the beginning. He had no choice but to meet Yi Jian and Durant before.

However, I didn't expect that Westbrook in the team would not give him face at all.

Westbrook also wants the MVP. Who is Beasley? The Heat are just a weakling.

Under the active performance of the two, the inside advantage of the second grade has become a decoration.

Lopez still missed the rebound, resulting in no chance to perform at all.

Sitting off the court, Yi Jian also lamented that in the All-Stars, players with poor athletic ability are really uncomfortable.

Obviously Lopez's ability is invincible inside, but no one gives the ball.

In fact, the second-year team also has strong rebounders, but Love, who came off the bench, didn't get many opportunities at all.

Obviously, Love and Gasol, who came off the bench, were very efficient, but the head coach didn't give time at all.

Maybe the head coach of the second-year team also has ideas. After all, they have been brought in by the rookie team's small lineup, and the inside players have not been given many opportunities.

Lopez also looked at the Thunder as a strong team and gave them a few more minutes, but it was just a reverse run.

Westbrook and Beasley only want to fight for the MVP, and don't look at who is leading.

Two active players, coupled with a head coach with a brain-dead team and a small lineup, completely abolished the second-year team's inside advantage.

During the intermission between the two teams, Yi Jian said to Durant: "Look, the idiot of the second-year team has destroyed all his advantages. Coach Kevin, you have a chance to become famous in one battle."

"If someone told me to play like this, I'd beat him up."

At this time, the first-year team had already led by double digits.

Their substitute player, Harden, came up and killed the Quartet.

Also, rookies are better off sharing the ball.

Jennings, Evans and Blair, who wanted to compete for the MVP, did not forget to pass the ball. Although they were not organization-oriented players, Jonny Flynn, who came off the bench, passed the ball honestly.

In the second-year team, except for Mayo, everyone else took the ball and did it by themselves.

As a result, he was beaten up by the little brother for a while, and his face was lost.

In the second half, the second-year team still competed with the rookie team for a small lineup.

This makes Blair invincible on the rebounds and feels like a behemoth inside.

In fact, as long as the second-year team wins honestly, a double-digit point difference is nothing at all.

If you can't figure out how to fight outside, there are ways, or you can add a little defense inside, or use Love to protect the rebounds. Unfortunately, the second-year team coach Ewing's face is green and he doesn't know how to adjust.

After retiring with his qualifications and insider skills, this buddy could only wander around as an assistant assistant. In the end, he could only harm his alma mater. There is also a reason. Just look around the All-Stars and you will know how good the coaching level is.

The whole second half was actually not interesting. The second-year team followed the rhythm of the rookie team, and then was beaten by the opponent without any chance to vent their anger.

The final result can be imagined, the first year team won the victory.

The second-year team Westbrook scored the highest score in the game, and Beasley scored the second highest score in the game, but the two led the team to play poorly without knowing it, which is also a joke.

After the game, Durant was a little dazed. Looking at the second-year team's tough guys, the game was one-sided.

Sure enough, victory has always been on Durant's side.

The two also comforted Lopez, "It's okay to lose in the rookie game, we are the ones who are going to play in the All-Star game."

Lopez can't laugh or cry, the All-Star game is very cool, but he will definitely be complained about by the outside world.

As for the All-Stars, the rookie game didn't play well, it was just a waste of enthusiasm.

This rookie MVP was won by Kings rookie Evans.

Evans scored the highest score of the rookie team, but Blair's 22+23 performance can actually be shared by the two. Evans also expressed that he would share the trophy with Blair in an interview with reporters.

However, Blair is not well-known enough to enjoy this official treatment.

But it didn't matter, Yi Jian saw that this rookie competition was nothing more than pecking at each other, and the rookie team somehow defeated the sophomore team led by the two brushes.

As the assistant coach of the first-year team, Durant was booed and treated, and Yi Jian played with them until late.

The next day he only has a [-]-point contest and won't have any problems.

After all, how many points he is willing to score in the three-point contest is entirely up to him.

He can sleep until he wakes up naturally, and then goes to the arena to load his fork.
