At 8 p.m., New Orleans Arena.

The T-MOBILE-titled rookie challenge is about to begin. Dozens of thick lights in the stadium are cruising randomly, and fans cheer like waves. The rookies' wonderful offensive and defensive performances are played on the central screen.

In the VIP seat on the sidelines, the little emperor LeBron sat carelessly with his legs spread apart, frequently turning his head to talk to the singer JAY-Z next to him, and his eyes looked at the second-grade team, as if he was paying special attention to his little brother Gibson.

In addition to LeBron, Arenas was also sitting on the sidelines to watch the game when injured, and Wolf King Garnett also came to cheer for Rondo. Yao Ming was also standing on the sidelines, preparing to go to the CCTV commentator's seat for a while and play a guest role in the commentator.

Players such as Bosh, Howard were also on the sidelines, as well as New Orleans representatives Paul and West.

TNT commentator Seat, Marvin Abbott, Reggie Miller, Doug Collins sat side by side. The three of them talked about Su Yang being the first Chinese assistant coach and the first Chinese coach to coach the rookie challenge, and they were slightly looking forward to his performance.

Accompanied by the three-person explanation, the central large screen lens was given to the first-grade bench, enlarging and focusing on Su Yang.

Su Yang was wearing a sexy patterned suit, and from a distance he looked like a model coming to the show.

The boo and whistle sounded immediately, and Su Yang grinned, knowing that the purpose of attracting attention had been achieved. He was not a high-profile person, but in such an occasion where big names gathered, he wanted to be high-profile so that fans and media could remember him.

Marvin said: "The Trail Blazers are currently tied for the first place in the Western Conference with the Suns and can defeat strong teams like the Spurs and Celtics. Many people think that they have completed the reconstruction and are on the right track. With such achievements, whether the media, fans, or the Trail Blazers, they all think that Su Yang has made great contributions. What do you think?"

"I asked McMillan for inquiries, and he told me in person that Su Yang brought many new ideas to the team. Looking back many years later, it is very likely that the concept of transcending the times will be beyond the times, such as the three-pointers and a large number of early attacks..."

"So, I retired too early?" Miller smiled, "but I also saw many statements on social media, believing that Su Yang is just a convenience for the team's lineup upgrade and running-in, and is good at promoting himself, just like wearing a patterned suit tonight, making everyone think that many things are related to him, but in fact it is not like that."

"Those doubts may have results tonight..." Collins said, "The strength of the first-grade team is obviously weaker than that of the second-grade team, and there is only one hour of running-in time. If the effect is achieved, it is enough to show Su Yang's strength."

While the three chatted, the sound of a long whistle sounded, and the referee waved his hand to remind the players of the two teams to enter the court.

On the first-grade bench, Su Yang summoned the team members to imitate Rivers to imitate the soul-stirring chicken soup.

Su Yang did not repeatedly emphasize tactics. He believed that Conley could organize the team to play out the tactics of the morning training, because Conley is an extremely traditional point guard and will arrange for many rounds to pass the ball to his teammate.

The starting lineups of the two teams are simultaneously displayed on the center large screen, point guard Conley vs. Roy, point guard Green vs. Roy, small forward Durant vs. Guy, power forward Scora vs. Aldridge, center Horford vs. Banyani.

Amid cheers, the players of the two teams landed around the center circle, and the referee held the ball and walked to the middle.

Bang! Horford touched the ball first, moved backwards, and the basketball flew straight to the first grade half.

Conley picked up the basketball when he trotted, stopped in place and turned his head to look at Su Yang. The two of them gestured silently.

Conley nodded immediately, started and ran across the center line with the ball, raising his left hand high to show three fingers.

Seeing this, the first-year players took action. Green stood at the bottom corner on the left, Scola stood at the waist position on the right, Horford went to the elbow area on the right, and Durat stood at the elbow area on the left, and the whole team formed a typical horn formation.

Seeing that Conley was about to reach the top of the arc, Horford started to span the left and set up a human wall as a positioning cover.

Durant took the opportunity to lift it up, rushed to the top of the arc in two big steps, and made a move to cooperate with Conley as a pick-and-roll.

Guy quickly squeezed over the cover and chased out, but Durant twisted his hips and ran backwards, heading straight to the left wing. At the same time, Conley threw the ball towards the left wing, turned around and ran to the right wing, and cooperated with Scola to run without the ball, leaving room for the arc top.

Durant took the ball with the left wing and immediately took the lead to the top of the arc, and Horford raised it again as a cover.

With two consecutive covers and two consecutive directional runs, it was useless for Guy to actively catch up.

Bagnani was forced to switch defenses, and in the arc top position and with a huge space, he faced Durant.

But it was also more than two meters high, Durant suddenly bent down and lowered the center of gravity, dribbled the ball with his left hand and slapped two steps, passing Bagnani like a rocket, easily rushed to the right waist position, ignoring Ade's threat to prevent the attack, and then shooting.

The basketball went into the net with a hollow sound, and Su Yang stood up and applauded, and cheers gradually emerged from around the stadium.

Durant ran back with a smile and waved at Su Yang. He seemed to have never played such a simple tactic. He only had three steps in total. He used the cover to lift the ball - back-run and catch the ball - and then dribble in the opposite direction to find the misalignment, but he could fully utilize his breakthrough and shooting advantages.

"OK!"

Su Yang gave a thumbs up and responded that the tactic just now was HornsRamSlip (the cover of horns was disassembled in advance), which perfectly played the technical characteristics of the three players, mainly to steal the future Celtics head coach Brad Stevens.

In the field offense and defense transition, the second-year team first launched an attack from Aldridge.

Scola's defense is average and before he can defend carefully, Ade easily turned around and hooked up before receiving the ball.

Turning around and attacking again in the first grade, Conley took the ball across the center line and raised his hand to signal the No. 3 tactic.

The first-grade generals quickly landed, but the defensive master Thibodeau waved his hand, Bagnani surrounded him and blocked Horford, and Guy surrounded him and blocked Durant. Although he could not completely stop the two of them from cooperating, it greatly delayed the attack time.

Seeing this, Su Yang wanted to speak out to remind him to implement the variant tactics, but he still chose to believe Conley.

Conley was not disappointed, and raised his hand and passed the ball directly to Horford, then headed straight for Durant.

That look, no matter how you see it, you have to cover Durant, let Durant go out of the elbow area, and then fight Horford to cooperate with each other, and continue to have a misaligned duel against Bagnani. If you run successfully, the probability of scoring is extremely high.

Guy realized that the situation was not good, so he subconsciously stepped forward, intending to squeeze through the cover and chase as soon as possible.

Then he thought that just as Guy landed, Durant twisted his hips and ran back and rushed straight to the basket.

At the same time, Horford made a straight pass when he defended, and Durant took the ball and jumped with a clang dunk.

Seeing the dunk, the audience subconsciously cheered and shouted, and the large screen shot swept across the sidelines quickly.

LeBron stopped talking to JAY-Z, frowned and thoughtfully, and then smiled again in a blink of an eye.

At the TNT commentator's seat, Marvin asked: "How about these two tactics of the first-year team?"

"Very great!" Doug Collins said, "Although it's just a change in horns, this design allows Durant and Horford to fully play. Especially Durant plays as a small forward, even if it only takes two rounds, I'm surprised."

Miller said: "Su Yang's tactics completely release Durant's ability. I guess Coach PJ? Carlesimo will learn his trick. It's so easy to use! It's a pity that the supersonics are not Horford, it's a pity, it's a pity..."
Chapter completed!
