Chapter 201 201, a wave
Tony Allen looked at Cheng Lei, and it took a long time to say a sentence, "Cheng Lei, you are the first person in the rookie to make me feel a little angry!" ”
"Then I should thank you for the compliment!" Cheng Lei chuckled and said.
"Wait, don't cry!" Tony Allen put down a cruel word and turned to attack.
Tony Allen is very strong defensively, but it does not mean that he will not attack, on the contrary, his ability to run without the ball is also very strong, all along, Tony Allen has been conscientious in defense, rarely take the initiative to ask for the ball, today, he actually took the initiative to reach out for the ball.
After making a no-ball cross with Evans, Toni Allen uncharacteristically ran towards the free-throw line.
At this time, Marc Gasol was standing near the midline.
Tony Allen ran close to Marc Gasol, and Cheng Lei was naturally blocked by Marc Gasol, so he could only choose to bypass Marc Gasol and then chase Tony Allen.
After Tony Allen bypassed Marc Gasol, he reached for the ball directly.
Conley was also the first to pass the ball over with a grounded pass.
After Tony Allen received the ball, his speed did not stop at all, and he went straight to the basket.
"If you want to go to the basket, don't be delusional!" Cheng Lei accelerated under his feet and rushed towards Tony Allen.
Seeing that he was about to catch up with Tony Allen, this guy actually came to a Harden-style European step, although the action was very awkward, but he still did it.
Bypassed Cheng Lei all of a sudden, and made a backhand layup.
"Do you know why I rarely attack?" After scoring, Tony Allen said to Cheng Lei: "Compared with scoring, I enjoy the feeling of not being able to score points against others!" ”
Looking at the narcissistic look, Cheng Lei rolled his eyes at him and walked away directly.
"Ray, are you ready?" Paul asked.
Cheng Lei made an OK gesture.
The Rockets continued to attack, and after Harden received the pass, Evans first had time to keep an eye on the ball in Harden's hand, ready to block Harden's offensive line at any time.
"Evans, you can't stop me!" After Harden said a word, his center of gravity pressed down and he broke through directly to the left.
As a left-hander, the first step to break through to the left has a natural advantage, and in just one step, it opens up half a body distance, which is also Harden's natural advantage.
Evans moved rapidly, leaned sideways, and followed Harden closely.
At the same time that Harden broke through, Paul also began to move, and he ran in the direction of Cheng Lei, obviously, to help Cheng Lei block and dismantle.
The Grizzlies had no choice but to make substitutions, and Conley temporarily switched to defensive Cheng Lei.
Harden disguised himself in the chest, slowed down a bit, and slashed to the right.
Evans kept hitting Harden with his body, trying to squeeze Harden away from the basket.
Harden pulled the ball with his left hand and quickly stepped back quickly, with a large backside step.
If you want to defend Harden's move, to be honest, except for the referee blowing fouls, there is no good way to defend alone.
However, Conley appeared right behind Harden and reached for the ball behind him.
Cheng Lei passed by the side, Harden was on tiptoe, and soon retracted it, hand-to-hand to Cheng Lei.
This time, Cheng Lei chose a jump shot and scored two points.
"Huh? Is Harden so good at talking now? O'Neill said puzzled.
As the boss of the team, there is no reason to give up the opportunity to score to a newcomer, I can't figure it out, not only O'Neal, but also the coach of the Grizzlies team.
The star of a team actually went to help a rookie make a ball.
"Maybe the relationship between the two is really good!" Barkley guessed.
Tony Allen is also very clear now, Cheng Lei is not ready to play singles with himself, this rookie is really a bit special, very sophisticated, and not fooled.
Later, the game between the two teams continued to be anxious, and the Rockets' offense was very smooth, but the Grizzlies relied on Makgasol's strong point and were not to be outdone.
Towards the end of the third quarter, the form of the court suddenly changed, and on the Rockets' side, it suddenly rained three-pointers.
Harden first stepped back and scored a three-pointer, then Anderson made two consecutive shots, and Cheng Lei took a step outside the three-point line to face Tony Allen, and also made a three-pointer.
Four three-pointers in a row, with four seconds left in the third quarter, Paul hit a three-pointer from the midline on a run and hit a cricket.
Let Ben suddenly lead by nine points into the final quarter of the game.
The sudden three-point rain blinded the Grizzlies, and they felt like they could shoot no matter how they shot, and the Grizzlies team who played had no temper.
At the beginning of the fourth season, the Rockets' hand was still very hot, who shot and who had it, it was like a hanging, and even Capela on the inside ran outside the three-point line and showed off a three-pointer.
Relying on a wave of familiarity, the Rockets directly knocked out the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies also knew that the tide was turning, and Marc Gasol was on the inside, and after taking a handful of Capela, he withdrew all his main forces.
In the end, the Rockets won the game with a big score of 115-102.
"Young man, you're great!" When leaving, Tony Allen walked to Cheng Lei's side and said.
"Thank you for letting me know what real defense is!" Cheng Lei said modestly.
Enemies on the court, brothers off the court, basketball games, that's it.
In this game, Cheng Lei's performance in the second half was not bad, scoring 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Rockets flew back to Houston, and Cheng Lei didn't know until the next day that the Grizzlies evaluated him.
Tony Allen gave an interview, and a reporter asked him what he thought of his newcomer.
In response to this question, Tony Allen said, "This rookie plays very smart, and besides, he can control his temper very well and will not be rash! ”
In the end, Tony Allen also said: "If you can give Cheng Lei a little more time, his height is absolutely unimaginable!" ”
......
After winning the Grizzlies, the next game was at the home court of the Rockets, and the coach gave everyone a half-day off to adjust and rest.
"Cheng Lei, come and take a look at this!" Zhuo Jiayue shouted to Cheng Lei, who was bragging with Wu Chunlei in the hall.
"It's coming!"
Cheng Lei walked to the upstairs room in three steps and two steps.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at what this is, someone in China helped you open a post, and a lot of people have paid attention to it!" Zhuo Jiayue said, pointing to the computer screen.
Cheng Lei leaned over and took a look, but really, he couldn't think of Cheng Lei's topic person.
"Why don't I apply for it and see if I can get a moderator?" Zhuo Jiayue said.
"Okay, if you have time, go apply for it!" Cheng Lei nodded.
"Hungry, by the way, I almost forgot something for you!"
Cheng Lei suddenly patted his head, walked to the sofa as he spoke, picked up his backpack, and took out two signatures from it.
"Here you go! Jordan's autograph! There is also one to be given to Wu Chunlei. ”
"Wow, this is what my best friend Meng Yao has always wanted, thank you!" said excitedly and kissed Cheng Lei's face.
