Chapter 273 Rookie Challenge

After defeating the Atlanta Hawks, the Warriors officially announced that Zhang Xin had an occasional typhoid fever, and in order to avoid cross-infection, the next game was truce. The return date is based on the team doctor's report.

Zhang Xin can finally take a good rest for a few games. What, the official only said that there will be a truce?Doesn't that depend on the team doctor's report? If the team doctor says they won't be able to play in the near future, then it means they can rest.

Zhang Xin can take a good rest, but the others are not so comfortable. They first went to New York to challenge the Knicks. In fact, it is inappropriate to use challenges, because it is called a challenge if you are under attack, and bullying if you are under control.

The Knicks have been rotten this season. So far, they have only won 50 games in 10 games!It's better for the management to urge the head coach not to win again, so that he can draft a good rookie at the end of the season.

Facing such a team, even without Zhang Xin, the Warriors easily won the game, the score was 128:98, the Warriors beat the Knicks with 30 points, and Klay Thompson scored 64 points in Madison Square Garden!
Thompson made 18 of 12 three-pointers!Although it didn't break Zhang Xin's record of 14 three-pointers in a single game, it was great enough!

Only then did people remember that besides Zhang Xin and Curry, the Warriors also had such a great god!

After torturing the Knicks in New York, the Warriors went to Philadelphia to challenge the Philadelphia 76ers. The Philadelphia 76ers were slightly better than the Knicks, but the results were limited. The Philadelphia 76ers only won two games more than the Knicks!
You can't ask for too much from such a team. The Warriors won the game easily. The score was 122:105. The Warriors won by 17 points!
The Warriors did not stop and rushed to Minnesota immediately. The Timberwolves were worse than the Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers. The record before the game against the Warriors was 11 wins and 41 losses!The Warriors won their last game before the All-Star break with 124:102.

Before the All-Star break, the Warriors had a record of 52 wins and 1 loss!
In the remaining 30 games, as long as the Warriors can win 21 games, the Warriors can surpass the Bulls' best record of 72 wins in the regular season!

On February 2015, 2, the NBA Rookie Challenge was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Generally speaking, not many people will watch the Rookie Challenge, and the attention of the Rookie Challenge is relatively low compared to the three-point contest, the dunk contest and the All-Star Game.

But this year's Rookie Challenge is a little different. With Zhang Xin, a very popular rookie, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn is already overcrowded and bustling with people, and the atmosphere is very warm.

Steven Adams, McAway, and Olynyk failed to play due to injuries. The substitutes were Papanicolaou, Dellavedova, and Robert Covington.

Zhang Xin was quite excited, this was a brand new experience, and he also wanted to try how it felt to cooperate with other people besides cooperating with the Warriors teammates.

Zhang Xin is undoubtedly a big player in the rookie game. There is no rookie who can compare with him. These rookies are still rookies, so it is natural for Zhang Xin to take the lead to lead the team forward, and there is no rookie. Dare to compete with him, the gap is too big!
Before the start of the game, Zhang Xin called up the rookies and assigned tasks to them;

"Giannis (Antetokounmpo), Andrew (Wiggins), you just run, the ball will come to you if you have a chance; Nicola, catch the ball at any time on the three-point line and shoot, there is no need to hesitate ;Rudy, give me a high pick-and-roll any time, roll down after the pick, ready for the lob. Got it?"

"Got it!" The rookies were very excited, and they were also very excited to cooperate with a superstar like Zhang Xin.

Gobert and Noel jumped the ball in the middle circle. Gobert passed the ball to Zhang Xin with his long arm, and Antetokounmpo didn't even look at it.

Zhang Xin caught the ball with one hand and threw it without hesitation. Antetokounmpo just reached the three-point line with his long legs. Two strides to the basket and a dunk!
"Wow!! The connection between Zhang Xin and Antetokounmpo! It's too fast. In less than 5 seconds from the kick-off to the dunk, Zhang Xin has already sent a fast and superb pass! It's unbelievable!"

Antetokounmpo ran back to the half court and celebrated by bumping his chest excitedly with Zhang Xin. It was so cool to play with Zhang Xin!The passing of the ball was fast and stable, and then it was comfortable, and even his own rhythm was considered.

Payton dribbled the ball halfway, only asked for a pick-and-roll from Zeller, and broke through directly to challenge Gobert's long arm, but was slapped by Gobert.

As soon as Zhang Xin controlled the ball, he immediately launched a transition. Wiggins and Antetokounmpo rushed to the front court with long legs. Zhang Xin directly attacked the basket. Pope and Oladipo followed Zhang Xin to the basket. under.

Zhang Xin didn't focus on the basket, but paid attention to Antetokounmpo's follow-up. Zhang Xin threw the ball into the sky, and Antetokounmpo, who followed up, took off and smashed the ball hard into the air. basket!
Antetokounmpo roared to the sky!

This ball is so fucking cool, you don't need to worry about other things, you just need to run with your long legs, and Zhang Xin will naturally give the ball over at the right time.
