Chapter 76: Losing Suspense
Soon Owen couldn't laugh, because Chen Shu directly opened the skills of the trash talk king, and in the next face of Alonzo Key's defense, Chen Shu was not polite, and directly **.
100 steps through Yang, the score is 83:95.
Owen was stunned, the Chinese guard actually faced the defense with a 3-point open shot, and hit the head. You must know that since the beginning of the second half, this guy has not played on the outside, and this TM is more confident than him, who is the champion in the end.
But although Owen was a little frightened, he didn't admit defeat so easily, turned around, and wanted to return one, but unfortunately it backfired, and he missed the 3 points.
Gortat took the backcourt rebound and continued to hand it to Chen Shu, who became more and more convinced of Chen Shu, because under Chen Shu's tandem, he beat Valejo under the basket, Chen Shu's passing was very comfortable, and there was a feeling of shooting and hitting, which was similar to Nash's.
"Hey, Owen, I'll be in the same position this round, play the same plot, remember not to blink", Chen Shu continued to trash talk to Owen.
Sure enough, Chen Shu took the ball to the top of the arc, and Owen also believed that with the arrogance of this rookie, this ball would definitely shoot 3 points.
In the surprised eyes of the audience and the players present, Owen actually pounced on Chen Shu with Alonzo, and what surprised them even more was that Chen Shu could choose to pass the ball to the empty Brown at this time, which was a good opportunity, but Chen Shu did not.
Chen Shu's choice was to ignore the two of them, resolutely choose to pull out the outside, and when he jumped to the highest point, he threw the basketball, and then Chen Shu was thrown to the ground by the two who pounced on him.
Gentry wanted to curse off the court, this shot selection table is terrible, if Nash would never choose that, no, no point guard, even a superstar in the league, would do that. But this damn rookie just did it.
Also wanting to scold people is McDonagh, the general manager who is sitting next to the boss and worried about Chen Shu's play.
But in the next second, the swear words that started with "F" that were about to be scolded were swallowed back.
The basketball didn't drag the mud at all, but plunged steadily into the basket. The audience was collectively boiling, this kind of hero ball is rarely seen in the Suns, because under the leadership of Nash, the Suns pay attention to fast transmission of the ball, and when there is a vacancy or a good opportunity, they will choose to shoot. Although such a game is also exciting, it is far less exciting for them than such a hero ball.
"Hey, this rookie is really good, McDonagh, I think he should be the one in the team's plans for the future" scolded the team's owner, Sarvor, but not angry, but excited. As a boss you don't focus too much on the tactical level, that's the general manager and the coaching staff. He is concerned about whether he can attract fans, whether he can win games, and whether he can expand the market to bring him benefits. Obviously, Chen Shu's performance made him very satisfied.
"Of course, boss, I traded him here because I fancy his ability and potential, and he will be the person we planned." McDonald was refreshed, and at this time he put the credit for trading Chen Shu on himself. But the boss Savor didn't say anything, he didn't care about this, he cared about the result.
Chen Shu, who got up from the ground, was calm, not at all excited and excited to face the three-pointer that the two blocked and threw in the game-killing 3-pointer.
This added another point to Gentry's understanding of the rookie, and it turned out that the ball was not a hot-headed shot, and it seemed to be in his plan. But in any case, Gentry can't figure out why this Chinese defender, who is not so physical, has such confidence. After thinking about it for a long time and not being able to find an answer, this may be a genius, and genius just can't be looked at with common sense
Seeing that Chen Shuru's divine help came directly to 15 points between the two teams, the game basically lost suspense.
At this time, Byron Scott saw that Irving's eyes were a little glazed, and the Cavaliers' starters were obviously not fighting anymore, and the Asian point guard was even better than Irving in some aspects.
He called a timeout and replaced all the starters and put them all on the bench. Seeing that the Cavaliers gave up resistance, Gentry made the same choice.
The score was 83:98. Both sides have been replaced with pure substitutes, after all, the rookies in the starting school are the future of the team, and there is no need to risk playing in garbage time.
During the garbage time, many spectators also left the stadium, and judging from the reaction of the audience, the game was quite exciting. Soon the game was over, and the final score was 93-104, and there were no surprises, and the Suns won one at home.
There weren't many surprises on the Cavaliers, because they had come to terms with the fact that they were terrible, that they had already lost a dozen games, and that one more loss was no big deal for them old fritters. But Irving was unhappy, and although he scored more points than Chen, it was clear that the Asian point guard was not doing his best to attack.
Chen Shu gave him a feeling that was a bit unfathomable, especially after he provoked, Chen Shu scored two incomprehensible 3 points, and this fearless momentum really shocked him. In this matchup, in terms of data, the two can be said to be comparable, in the case of the overall strength of the team, Chen Shu won this duel, as the champion, he has the full strength of the team's training, but in the face of a draft in the same class, he failed to take away a victory, which is still a bit of a blow to him. After the game, he refused to be interviewed by the media and went back to the locker room a little depressed.
Cavaliers: Irving played all kinds of singles in the second half of this game, shooting inside and outside and shooting free throws, shooting 12 of 21, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 32 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 turnovers. Jamison had a second-highest 19 points for the Cavaliers, center Vallejo had 11 points and 15 rebounds, Alonzo Kean had 12 points, Samuels had 10 points, Tony Parker had eight points, and the rest of the players had a lot to do.
In the second half, Chen Shu focused on connecting teammates, although he didn't shoot much, but the offensive efficiency was very high, Chen Shu was 9 of 15, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and got 27 points, 9 assists, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 turnovers. Both scored and assisted team-highs, but also had three turnovers. Morris had 16 points and nine rebounds; Gortat 14 points and 11 baskets; Kannon Brown had 11 points and 2 rebounds on 3-of-9 shooting, and most of his energy was put into the defensive end, and the offensive end was not efficient; Dudley had 15 points and seven rebounds; Substitute power forward Channingfrye scored 13 points, and Telfil came off the bench to score nine points and five assists, leading the second team to play well.
After the game, due to Chen Shu's outstanding performance, some local media in Phoenix wanted to interview Chen Shu, and finally under the arrangement of the team, a reporter from the Arizona Republic Daily interviewed him. But Chen Shu noticed that in a group of reporters, he saw an Asian face, and this Asian reporter also looked at Chen Shu, and the two smiled at each other and nodded their heads, indicating that it is not easy to meet an Asian face reporter in the United States.
