Chapter Ninety-Five: I'm the Protagonist!
The Bulls started off on the inside, and Fetzer opened the game with back-to-back baskets against Harvey.
However, his hand was not good, and he failed to score in consecutive shots.
On the one hand, Harvey, who is opposite, is also a black and rough man, and his NCAA power advantage is not so great;
On the other hand, his style of play is a bit similar to Boozer's, he is on the outside and shoots from mid-distance, and his scoring efficiency is very low if he doesn't feel good.
However, the defense of this Bulls team is really good, with Artest on the outside and "Meat" Thomas on the inside, and Alexander and Harvey's continuous offense did not score.
Both teams showed off their mamba spirit at the beginning.
When the Bulls attacked the frontcourt again, Crawford didn't feed the ball in anymore and directly signaled to pull away.
He's going it alone!
Everyone on the Bulls, including Artest, also pulled up and gave plenty of space.
Clearly, Crawford has proven himself in training camp.
Whistles began to sound at the scene.
One-on-one has always been their favorite part!
Bell leaned close to Crawford and pressed his hands against him.
At this time, the league has not abolished the handcheck rule, and defenders can get started directly.
His thoughts were the same as Sun Hao's guess.
It's his second year playing in Summer League and he knows exactly what he needs to show.
The Mavericks averaged 101.4 points per game last season, which was a very high statistic at the beginning of the century.
In other words, the Mavericks' offense is perfectly fine, and what they need is defense, especially outside defenders.
There's no better chance than to take on Crawford.
Crawford holds the ball three to squeeze a little space for himself, changes to the left and backs and then dribbles to the right, and directly uses the crossover!
The man and the ball are one, elegant as the wind.
There was a scream from the sidelines.
Crawford's action is so beautiful!
But what people didn't expect was that Bell actually slid backwards and followed.
Without two brushes, he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask for Crawford.
But before he could stand firm, Crawford closed the ball under his crotch to reopen the distance between him, followed by a big crossover, switched to the left side to break through to the basket, and scored a backhand layup!
The whole set of actions is like flowing water!
The cheers at the scene have exploded.
This style of play is not only beautiful but also cool!
Sun Hao couldn't help but sigh.
Although Bale at this time is not the one who will be selected for the defensive team in the future, his defensive ability has begun to emerge.
But obviously, Crawford is the better show!
That kind of combination of people and balls changes direction and then changes direction, that sense of rhythm, plus the height of others, is really a little handsome!
Alexander's shot after the breakthrough was still no.
Looking back, Crawford continued to play with the ball.
The fans at the scene have already begun to heckle.
After seeing Crawford's tricks once, they can't wait to see them a second time.
Bale didn't play defensively this time around, and he was positioned far back.
Crawford saw it...... Straight dry pull three points.
"Huh!"
Pull it out and you'll have it!
The cheers at the scene rose again.
Crawford, he scored 5 points in a row in the opening game!
Not only can he show, but he can also shoot!
The best defender in the class of 2000!
He's the hero of tonight!
Harris stood up at this time, shouted Sun Hao, and made a tactical gesture to him.
That was the signal for him to make a move.
Sun Hao held the ball to the front court and motioned for Xavi to mention the high block.
Harvey's blocking and dismantling was very strong, and after the dismantling, Harvey went down, and Sun Hao directly shot three points.
When Fetzel saw this, he flew up, his speed was fast, and his big hands covered the sky.
Indeed, as Harris reminded, it is much more difficult for Sun Hao to get shot space in the NBA than in Europe.
Even in Summer League.
However, Sun Hao still completed the shot before Fetzel's block.
Him, faster!
The basketball swirls through the air and crosses a parabola.
"Huh!"
Hollow into the net!
answerball!
Sun Hao scored in the first shot of the summer league!
What's more, this ball almost shot Fitzel!
Excellent outside shooting!
The fans on the sidelines began to talk to each other.
Not every rookie will get noticed, Crawford is the No. 8 pick, the first guard player to be drafted in the Class of 2000, and with the performance at Rock Park, there are naturally many people who know about it.
But Sun Hao's words, at the end of the first round, it was still the first game, and most people didn't know him.
"I've seen him on the beach course!"
Someone in the audience spoke.
Long Beach is a satellite city of Los Angeles, and it's all too normal for someone to have been to Los Angeles.
The scene where Sun Hao crossed Lu has been passed by word of mouth at the door of the streetball player.
You must know that in this era, the yellow defenders are really eye-catching!
Now that the yellow defender is on the Summer League court in Long Beach next door, it's hard to recognize.
Crawford continued to break down the pitch, but this time Bale managed to defend it.
After all, Crawford has just debuted, and Bale is not the rookie he was last year.
Harvey grabbed a defensive rebound.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Sun Hao, who had already rushed out of the three-point line.
A long throw in the backcourt, Sun Hao rushed forward after receiving the ball.
Crawford struggled to chase after him, but Sun Hao was fast.
When he rushed to the three-point line, Sun Hao had already reached the free throw line.
When he flew to seal it, Sun Hao had already jumped into the air...... Lick the basket to score.
Sun Hao single-handedly returned the Bulls with a wave of 5-0!
The whistle at the scene could not be stopped.
For the first time, they saw that there were yellow people who could kill all sides on the American court.
It felt weird, like a human first.
But, it's exciting!
"What's his name?"
"The sun."
It seems that there are many people who pronounce "sun" as "sun".
"The sun? Good name! ”
Crawford's breakaway layup drew a foul and made both free throws to help his team tighten the score.
So far, he's got all of the Bulls' points tonight.
The Mavericks advanced to the frontcourt, and the ball spun around and returned to Sun Hao.
Xavi continued to pick up the pick-and-roll.
However, Fetzel grabbed it in advance this time, and he didn't give Sun Hao a chance to make a move at the first time.
Xavi took Guyton away, and Sun Hao got a one-on-one misplaced singles opportunity at the top of the arc.
The fans began to cheer.
The Bulls didn't mean to help defend or switch back.
This is the atmosphere of basketball at the beginning of the century in the United States.
One-on-one doesn't need to help defense, and helping to defend will make the defender look rubbish.
Fitzel sank his center of gravity and spread his hands, feeling like he was going to devour Sun Hao alive.
This is also a normal reaction, who can bear it if they are shot by Yan丨?
Unless she's a woman.
Fetzel is obviously not, he started directly, pressing Sun Hao to prevent him from dribbling easily.
This defensive style is full of pressure, but it is in Sun Hao's arms.
He was still afraid that Fetzel would not come up.
He pressed forward, and after feeling Fetzel's center of gravity very forward, he took a direct step to the right.
Fetzel moved quickly to the right, and his speed stood out among the big players.
However, Sun Hao immediately pulled the ball back with a large crotch.
Fetzel wanted to come back again, but his consciousness couldn't keep up with his body, and he slipped directly under his feet.
He showed his reflexes, reaching out to protect himself as soon as he skidd, and the result was directly ...... Get down on one knee!
And he didn't have time to get up again, so he could only watch Sun Hao shoot after three points.
The basketball swirled in the air and crossed an arc.
"Huh!"
Again!
The cheers at the scene exploded in an instant.
Sun Hao's second three-pointer of the quarter!
He has scored 8 points in a row!
Fetzel was angry and went straight to the front court to ask for the ball in the low post.
He was first shot and then shaken down, and he wanted to prove himself.
Catching the ball and hitting it back, turning around and attacking, he is like a big black bear with a rage.
But it's a pity that he is not a brown bear, he is not large enough, and his offensive intentions are too obvious, and he was directly defended by Harvey and Saunders!
The ball was exchanged, and Sun Hao advanced to the front court with the ball.
It was then that he noticed that his defender had been swapped from Guyton to Crawford.
Crawford's eyes were focused.
He got all seven points from the team after the opening and performed well, but now Sun Hao's limelight completely overshadowed him.
This cannot continue.
He knew that in the inconspicuous place in the stands at this time, general manager Klaus and the team's head coach Froude were watching him.
Sun Hao knew that Crawford was fast, and beckoned Xavi to continue to block and dismantle.
However, Crawford's defensive reaction was really fast, and Xavi failed to make two pick-and-rolls in a row.
At this time, Sun Hao either passed the ball or did it strongly.
"Heads-up! Singled out! ”
The audience began to heckle.
The duo are undoubtedly the best performers of both teams at the moment tonight.
Familiar plots, pad drills, elite showdowns!
Sun Hao motioned for Harvey to go back and chose the latter.
He knew it was irrational to fight like this, but the atmosphere was here.
If you can't score, it's just a loss of face, but if you get in, it's a hole-in-one, and you climax directly!
Seeing that Sun Hao was about to attack, Crawford immediately approached, and then pressed his long arm on Sun Hao's hand, not giving him a chance to shoot.
Sun Hao tried to dribble out of space, but was unsuccessful.
I have to say that with the handcheck rule, it's really difficult to get out of defense.
And Crawford is not a big man like Fitzel, and sticking it to his hand is really like sticking to himself.
The advice Harris gave him now looks really important.
But now is not the time to think about that, he takes a step to the right, and rushes straight in.
The space on both sides was wide open, from the three-point line to the restricted area, giving him enough space to break through.
And Crawford's disadvantage comes out, he's too skinny!
Although he is more than ten centimeters taller than Sun Hao, he does not weigh much more than Sun Hao!
As a result, Sun Hao, just like Su Qun's article said, killed Crawford like a small steel cannon.
When he got to the basket, Sun Hao's strong layup, Crawford's block had no angle, and it hit Sun Hao's arm directly!
"Huh!"
Sun Hao also completed the shot after the hit, and the ball grazed the basket and fell into the net bag.
2+1!
Sun Hao scored 2+1 on Crawford one-on-one!
After scoring the goal, Sun Hao was emotional, rushed to the bottom line, beat his chest and shook his fist and roared at the audience.
Is Crawford the protagonist tonight?
No, he is!
The cheers of the fans could not be stopped.
Although there is no fancy dribble change like Crawford, Sun Hao's scoring efficiency is very high!
I didn't shoot many times when I looked at it, but when I looked at the score, he had already scored 10 points! More than Crawford!
"The sun! Sun! ”
When Sun Hao went to the free throw line, there was a shout from the sidelines.
Generally speaking, this kind of shouting will only appear at the critical moment of the last quarter.
But Sun Hao's performance in this section is too good, the key is that they are still Asian players they have never seen before!
Listening to the shouting, Sun Hao was stunned for a moment.
What's so ...... Did he get a new nickname?
"Huh!"
Sun Hao's penalty is also there, and he has already scored all 11 points in the opening game of the Mavericks!
The corner to the right of the stands.
Klaus's expression was a little complicated.
He is particularly fond of Crawford and expects the latter to be the outside answer to the team's rebuild.
Crawford's opening performance also proved that he didn't look away.
But like everyone else, he soon found that the protagonist on the field had changed, from Crawford to Sun Hao.
Although Sun Hao was selected by the Mavericks, he was also traded from the Bulls after all.
And there is an example of Kobe Bryant in front, if it is Sun Hao......
No.
He immediately shook his head.
What's wrong with him, it's just a summer league, he has such an illusion.
even compared Sun Hao with Kobe!
Sure enough, when I'm older, I like to think cranky.
At this moment, the Bulls made a mistake on the court, and Sun Hao chased down a three-point shot in the fast attack.
"Huh!"
And also!
The shout of "the sun" rang out again in his ears.
I......
