Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Master of Pitching
At nine o'clock in the evening, the game officially began, and before the game began, the national anthem of the United States was played, but Qin Zheng never sang it, just lowered his head.
Qin Zheng will not sprinkle magnesium powder and do some tricks like James, he only knows that winning is the most important thing, and it would be better if he could get a good number of jรน while winning.
Didn't you think that's what Jordan did back then?
Qin Zheng felt that he would definitely be able to get a good number tonight, and Gordon on the outside line was not there, so Dunleavy had already arranged to focus on the inside line, after all, there were still two people on the inside, as long as he played well, it would not be a problem for him and Carman to cut sixty points, and if he played well, seventy points could also be done.
The Hornets' interior line is Okafor and David West, and Armstrong is just a blue-collar player, averaging 3 points and 3 rebounds per game, but Armstrong and Okafor are both centers with better defense, so this game is still hard.
The Clippers' starters are Davis, Butler and Elsorton, and the interior is Qin Zheng and Camby.
Why didn't he go to Kaman, Dunleavy has learned to be smart, Qin Zheng and Karman must be separated, because the twin towers composed of Camby and Jordan Jr. don't have any offensive ability at all.
Qin Zheng easily dialed the basketball to his side, Davis was startled by the figure in front of him as soon as he got the ball, and when he realized it, the basketball had been stolen by Chris Paul.
After Paul made a steal, he went straight to the fast break and made a layup to give the Hornets two points.
Looking at Paul's pair of small short legs, but the frequency is super fast, Qin Zheng is still very envious, his favorite player in his last life is Iverson who is 1.83 meters tall, and then Chris Paul who is the same height, and Yin Saiya Thomas who is 1.85 meters, but things after rebirth are obviously different from dreams, he was two meters tall when he was fourteen years old, and he was two meters and one zero when he went to college at the age of sixteen.
As for why Qin Zheng was able to go to college at the age of sixteen, and it was the University of California, Los Angeles, who made the family a college student in his last life? And in terms of the difficulty of the college entrance examination in the United States, the 800-point math problem is similar to the math problem of junior high school students in China, what kind of derivative function do you want to say, I haven't heard of it, and there is 800 points of reading comprehension, and finally 800 points of writing, which is not a problem at all for Qin Zheng, who has written several books and written tens of millions of words.
Qin Zheng's California college entrance examination score reached 2300 points, which is enough for him to go to science and engineering universities such as Stanford and MIT, and private universities such as Yale and Harvard, but does Harvard University have a basketball team?
If it weren't for a banana man, Jeremy Lin, Qin Zheng wouldn't have known that Harvard University still had a basketball team.
It's a pity, time is also fate!
"Since Lao Tzu has grown so tall, he can't be wasted." Since you can't steal our passes, then I, Qin Zheng, will give you the Hornets a little color and cover you a few times.
But the idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very skinny, the first quarter of the game is halfway through, Qin Zheng didn't have a single block, and he also let the opposing West shoot three shots in front of him, if he hadn't dodged in time, maybe he would have made a defensive foul!
However, Qin Zheng himself also made four shots on West's head, and also made a defensive foul on West, but even if he scored 10 points and grabbed 4 rebounds, the Clippers still trailed by 7 points with 12 points: 19 points.
The reason is very simple, the three players on the outside didn't have their brains today, they shot three points outside the three-point line, and the three of them added one shot to the second three-pointer, and only shot 2 times, unless Qin Zheng can cut 20 points to make the Clippers overtake the score.
Qin Zheng didn't know how the three of them had their brains? Is it because the Hornets are relatively short on the perimeter that you can shoot threes unscrupulously?
But the game still has to go on.
Qin Zheng was still on the court in the second half of the game, but his partner was replaced by Jordan Jr., Dunleavy arranged for Jordan Jr. and Okafor to play, and West was handed over to Qin Zheng.
West plays very smart, and some of the smart ones make Qin Zheng jealous, but Qin Zheng's jealousy is not because of himself, but because of the other people in the team, at least West still has brains when he plays.
This game also allowed Qin Zheng to see the power of the only two excellent mid-range power forwards in the league.
Watching West shoot with a misplaced shot after a block, Qin Zheng's mouth didn't know what to say?
They're all black players, so why do you shoot so well? Why can't a second kid like Jordan Jr. even make free throws?
In fact, Qin Zheng also knows that this is the result of the development of the league's atmosphere, when the environment develops to the point where there is no need for interior offense, only defensive strategies and rebounding, who will work hard to exercise shooting skills?
Players who can shoot basketball don't necessarily have the physicalities to get paid more than the players who can shoot?
So the drive of profit is the most important, but the effect of this atmosphere is that all black insiders are blue-collar except for a few people.
Not to mention reaching the shooting level of Duncan and Olajuwon, even the level of Mourning Ewing! As a result, the shooting level of one by one was not even as good as O'Neal's.
Looking at West's shooting, Qin Zheng could only continue to strengthen his shooting and continue to grab rebounds in the front court.
I don't know if the three people on the outside of this game didn't take medicine, and rarely passed the ball to the players on the inside, Qin Zheng still had two of the four shots that he grabbed and dunked in the front court.
However, after Qin Zheng grabbed the rebound in the front court and hit a hook shot, West gave Qin Zheng a mid-range shot.
West's height is the same as Randolph's, and his weight is ten kilograms lighter than Randolph's, so his footsteps are very flexible, and some of the flexibility makes Qin Zheng a little unable to catch up, if it's usual, it's okay, once someone blocks and dismantles, Qin Zheng can't catch up with West at all.
So in the second half of the entire first quarter, the shape of the inside line is that Okafor constantly blocks and dismantles West, and after blocking and dismantling, Okafor does not dismantle, or goes to the bottom, just to block Qin Zheng, and the rest is handed over to West.
Where is Little Jordan's opponent for West, he was shaken off twice by West in the half quarter of the game.
Then it was easy to break through and dunk it violently.
Qin Zheng didn't have time to block and foul.
But the three people on the outside still shot three-pointers happily.
But Dunleavy can't help it, right, who will go up if the three of them are replaced? There were no bench bandits on the Clippers' bench, only water cooler guards who delivered towels.
It wasn't until after the end of the first quarter that Dunleavy lashed out at the three of them.
It turned out that in the first quarter of the game, the Clippers fell behind by 7 points at 28:35, which was the result of Qin Zheng's shot in the last five seconds of the game, otherwise it would have been 9 points behind.
