NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 128: Rookie Game, Dimensionality Attack (35)

The game is about to begin and the starting players on both sides stand on the court.

O'Neal's starting players.

Point guard: Kemba Walker (Bobcats)

Shooting guard: Klay Thompson (Warriors)
Small forward: Kawhi Leonard (Spurs)

Power forward: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Bobcats)

Center: Lin Chuan (Thunder)

Barkley's starter.

Point guard: Kyrie Irving (Cavaliers)

Shooting guard: Damian Lillard (Trail Blazers)
Small forward: Chandler Parsons (Rockets)
Power forward: Anthony Davis (Hornets)
Center: Nikola Vucevic (Magic)
Just looking at the lineup, except for Lin Chuan, the other positions of O'Neal's team are quite inferior to those of Barkley's team, but O'Neal is still very happy.

This one point is enough to destroy Barkley's entire lineup.

Originally this year's rookie challenge.

There is a famous scene that has gone viral.

Irving faced Knight's defense, dribbled the ball brilliantly, knocked Knight down and then scored a goal.

But because of Lin Chuan's special situation.

As a result, Knight and Irving were assigned to the same team.

The original famous scene just disappeared like that.

It’s a bit of a pity.

Looking at Vucevic in front of him, judging from his movements, he is fully prepared.

But seeing his slightly trembling limbs and stiff face.

It’s not hard to find.

The jump ball with Lin Chuan made him nervous.

The referee blew his whistle and threw the ball into the air.

Lin Chuan jumped high and took the lead.

Grab the basketball before this white European guy does.

Kemba Walker dribbled to the front court and saw Lin Chuan reaching out to him and yelled,

"Hey, have a ball!"

Seeing the big guy asking for the ball, he immediately gave it to him.

Lin Chuan stood at the top of the arc, watching Parsons coming up to defend in front of him.

Now that the famous scene is gone, Lin Chuan decided to make up for it with his own actions.

Facing the defense, Lin Chuan suddenly started to drop the ball.

"Does Lin Chuan have to start from outside the three-point line and break through directly?"

"Although it's a rookie game, he really underestimates the opponent's defense!"

On the sidelines, Barkley saw Lin Chuan actually playing like this, and immediately stood up and waved his hands and shouted to Parsons on his team,

"Guard him! Don't let him show off on the perimeter! He's a center! You're a small forward! Don't be afraid!"

Hearing Barkley's shouting, Parsons became more nervous.

Although that is what he said, Lin Chuan is one of the top three players on the MVP list!
It's not that easy to defend!

"Come on! Parsons!"

At this time, many fans at the scene also shouted.

After all, this is Houston, and Parsons is our own child, so we must work harder.

Lin Chuan remembered this when he heard the cheers of the fans.

I almost forgot, this is Parsons' home court.

Wouldn't it be even more interesting if he was knocked down by an outsider in front of his own home court and created a famous scene?

Lin Chuan's evil taste came up.

Immediately start dribbling with changes of rhythm.

Parsons stared at Lin Chuan, afraid that he would dodge past him.

With a cross dribble, Lin Chuan stretched out his ball-protecting hand to block Parsons' breakthrough.

Parsons' mobility is indeed much stronger than that of a center. With a sideways move, he stood in front of Lin Chuan again.

"it is good!"

"Cool! Just defend him like this!" Barkley was watching the fun and shouted louder than anyone else.

Thought it was over?

When the ball bounced back into Lin Chuan's hands again, his right hand took advantage of the floating time of the suspended ball to forcefully transfer the ball sideways behind Parsons!

And on the left wing position, there was Kawhi Leonard who was left open by him!
And he has made the gesture to receive the ball and is ready to shoot at any time!
Seeing that he was about to miss someone, Parsons rushed to Leonard's direction to provide defensive support like a hungry tiger!

wrong!

After taking the first step, Parsons suddenly realized that the basketball did not reach him!
Could it be a fake news to deceive me? !

Parsons turned his peripheral vision and saw that the basketball was still in Lin Chuan's hand.

Just when he was about to pass the ball, he flipped his right wrist to the left.

Move the basketball from the left side of your hand to directly below your hand.

Then he spun and bounced the basketball onto the ground, returning it to his hands!

Lin Chuan’s next step is to break through!
With the help of friction, Parsons forcibly stopped his forward movement. Playing at home and listening to the fans' cheers, he broke through his potential. At this moment, he turned his body abruptly and chased after Lin Chuan again!
"Don't even think about it!"

Parsons rushed towards Lin Chuan diagonally with a ferocious face, and it was obvious that he was determined to stop Lin Chuan's breakthrough.

Lin Chuan had just broken through to the free throw line when Parsons had already rushed back. He lowered his center of gravity very low and stretched out his hands to Lin Chuan to block his breakthrough.

However, Lin Chuan suddenly stopped.

He held the ball with both hands and stopped abruptly one step inside the free throw line.

"Fake..."

Parsons thought to himself that this was not good, but he was no longer able to stop.

This time, he was completely shaken and flew away.

Parsons fell all the way from the free throw line to the three-point line on the right.

Lin Chuan, who received the ball, stopped shooting, glanced at Parsons who fell out, spread his hands innocently, and made a mid-range shot before Vucevic rushed out from under the basket to defend.

"holy......!"

The live commentator was so annoyed, this was too good!
"Lin Chuan! Stop bullying the rookies! They are still young!"

"Kakaka!"

Many reporters captured these scenes.

The basketball went into the net, and Lin Chuan maintained his shooting posture.

And Parsons who was carried aside.

These photos will definitely dominate the media headlines in the coming time!

Barkley couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. This was too miserable.

The rookie was cheered on by the home fans, but was knocked flying by the opponent's fake move and fell to the ground in a mess.

Any player with a better reputation would probably want to retire right where he is.

In fact, Parsons is about to make this decision.

Lying on the ground, his whole face was red and felt hot.

When being pulled up by teammates, I had to pretend to be calm and act as if I didn't care.

And when it was Barkley's team's turn to attack, there were fans cheering at the scene!
"Give it back to him! Chandler!"

"Fight back!"

"come on!"

For a moment, Parsons was even put on the fire to roast.

I heard the fans at the scene put forward their own demands.

Irving was not the ignorant player who was obsessed with religion and art and acted eccentrically.

He is still quite honest now.

After crossing half court, he passed the ball to Parsons.

Leonard also retreated to the other side and let Lin Chuan come over to defend.

Facing Lin Chuan's defense, Parsons regained his composure.

He knew that Lin Chuan had a high level of offensive ability.

The interior defense is great.

But he's not so strong in defending the outside too!
