Chapter 67 The most terrifying devil in the United States is here
January 28, 10:40 noon
After the All-Star starters were determined a week ago, the All-Star substitutes have become the biggest suspense of this All-Star season.
Because of injuries in 11 games since the first round of voting
Young lost the battle for the starting point guard without any suspense to Lowry, who had Toronto's local advantage.
There is no other way, in order to block 750,000 distracting thoughts.
Young entered the training hall early in the morning.
…………

"Yang, you made it to the All-Stars."
In the training hall in Philadelphia, Young was practicing 100 fixed points when he heard Brett Brown's rare loud voice.
"If Irving hadn't come back in December, he, I, and all the coaches would have struggled." After making 98 of 100 shots, Young also teased himself.
"The one I am comparing to you is Thomas! Your 292 points, 71 rebounds and 80 assists have already made it impossible for the coaches to be picky. Coupled with the gap between fourth in the Eastern Conference and seventh in the Eastern Conference, the coaches will not be able to choose you."
"Don't forget, I can't even make it to the stat list now." Because he only played 31 games out of 45, Yang is nowhere to be found in any major stat column.
"It's such a big happy event, do you want to treat me to dinner?" On the way back to the locker room to take a shower, Young realized that Covington had been waiting for a long time.
"Invite" Although everyone may pay for a dinner party, generally more people are invited to invite.
"Go eat seafood. You will have to chase Clay the day after tomorrow. You have to make up for it." The team's weak back line defense resulted in the 76ers having to use the defensive strength of the forward line to make up for the back line.
"By the way, how are you doing with Ismail and McConnell?" Covington started chatting with Young across the shower partition.
"It's not good, I guess you can get beat without even using a pick-and-roll. It's not good to go around the screen without the ball." The recent 287 three-pointers made Covington not participate in defensive training, but instead practiced the top and bottom of the arc.
angle, a 45-degree three-pointer.
"Oh, I'm so tired. If the team had a second-rate defender, I would feel much better." Because of the sound of water, Young said something bad.
"When Joe comes back next year, there won't be so much air leakage. He can protect the frame well, and he's attractive enough in the low post to help you relieve pressure."
"These problems are not big. I really need someone to help me with the pick-and-roll and the defensive back point. If I continue to play like this next season, I will definitely be seriously injured."
"Then I will take some action, such as..."
With an absolutely high production rate of 318 rounds, the true shooting rate reached around 60%.
It would be a bit crazy for the 76ers to ask Young to do more during the regular season.
"If you don't say anything unhappy, let's go eat!" As soon as the sound of water stopped, Yang said nothing.
…………
…………
2929 points,
455 3-point shooting percentage 3-point shooting percentage
Averaged 48 three-pointers per game, first in the league vs. averaged 36 three-pointers per game, second in the league.
"This is a showdown with the strongest firepower in the league, and Oracle viewers are in luck."
"No, all the audience should be blessed. Such a perfect performance is usually hard to come across."
"You said that, right? Mark?"
Former Warriors coach Mark Jackson could only laugh to cover up his embarrassment.
"Congratulations, you made the All-Stars in your rookie season." Young and Curry, who were warming up at the same position, chatted back to back.
"Thank you, this is the benefit of the East." In order to prevent lip readers from interpreting it, Yang deliberately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Although we are quite familiar with each other, I'm still looking forward to playing against you, Dang." If it weren't for meeting Curry, Young would usually not go too far from the center circle.
"I won, you treat me to some of your popcorn after the game, ugh." The words affected Young, but they did not affect Curry's super long range.
"?"
Faced with such a nonsensical request from a person with a unique third grade, Yang didn't know what to answer for a moment.
Because he has never encountered this kind of situation, to be precise, he didn't know he had this hobby.
"Okay, but I don't know where it is." Even though the request was a bit strange, Yang agreed.
"I know this. I know which of the 30 arenas has good popcorn and which one doesn't."
"I'm going back, the coach called me." Looking at Brett Brown waving, the conversation between the two ended.

“Steve, the lineup tonight is the same as usual, center: Andrew Bogut, power forward: Draymond Green, small forward: Harrison Barnes, shooting guards are still Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry.
Formed by Splash Brothers."
"The 76ers have made adjustments. Starting power forward Jerami Grant, who was sidelined for three weeks due to an ankle injury, has returned. Therefore, they pushed Young, who temporarily played power forward during this period, back to the starting point guard position.
In other aspects, the 76ers have not made any adjustments. The starting shooting guard, small forward, and center are still the combination of Moore, Covington, and Noel.
In order to show their emphasis on the game, the 76ers did not let Noel jump the ball, but let Young stand in the center circle.
Facing Bogut, who couldn't even win against Fat Jimmy, Young, whose athletic ability was obviously superior, won the jump ball without any suspense.
Although the main players have been injured intermittently, the tactical quality of the 76ers' generals has obviously improved.
They didn't communicate at all and just started running the first attack strategy.
After letting everyone touch the ball,
The ball came to Wing Yang's hands
Although the Warriors are the best pick-and-roll defense team, the 76ers do not have the low-post ability inside.
There is no other way but to start with a pick-and-roll,
Although it is a forced choice
Young also put a lot of thought into calling Curry and Bogut's counterparts.
"Double false cover!" Noelle and Moore quickly dispersed without approaching Yang.
One makes an air cut and the other moves down in advance
"It's now"
Because Bogut is out
When Moore made a cut and ran towards the basket, Green, who was one step away from Covington, immediately prioritized taking care of the basket.
The inconspicuous cutting long pass in Young's arsenal came into use immediately.
Because of the 8 height difference, Harrison Barnes was unable to do anything about this pass.
"I've been fooled." Green, the smart help defender, quickly judged that he had been fooled, and immediately got up and flew out.
"Why does it feel so weird?" Although the projection arc was normal, Yang just felt something was wrong.
"Go in and take a look." The ball was still in the air, and Young, the team's first and last line of defense, sneaked into the three-point line.
"There's someone there." There was someone waiting at the expected rebound position, and Yang turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Because he knows that the most powerful thing about the Golden State Warriors is their transition offense.
With his long legs highlighted at this moment, he succeeded in catching the ball before it reached Clay's hands.
Blocked the shooting position
Take the ball and move one step to the right
Chapter completed!
