Chapter 82: Strong Performance

Back to the game, the second half of the game ended in a battle between the two teams on the bench. The score is 50:54.

Chen Shu played 7 minutes in the second quarter of the game, shooting 4-of-7, 2-of-2 free throws, 0-of-2 3-pointers, and scoring 10 points and 3 assists. In the entire first half, Chen Shu made 10 of 15 shots, 4 of 7 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 26 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 turnovers.

But there is still some distance from the 3 tasks, Chen Shu decided to buy a bottle of physical recovery potion in the system, and play a few more minutes in the second half, after all, it is not easy for the system to release such a task, it can't be wasted, it's best to complete it all. And before the sponsor asked Chen Shu to play eye-catching data, this game is not strong in defense, whether it is under the basket or outside, Chen Shu has the grasp of offense, and there is the ball in hand, this is an excellent opportunity to brush data.

If you want to talk about physical recovery medicine, if you take it during the game, you can only use it once a month, Chen Shu has never taken it before, because you can't use it, but now it's different, the playing time is guaranteed, maybe you will often use it in the future, but you can only use it once a month, the limit is too great.

Having said that, the game continued, and although the margin was not very large, the Suns dominated the court in the first half.

At the beginning of the second half, DeRozan, who was stimulated by Chen Shu, faced Brown, who was a few centimeters shorter than him, and shot resolutely from mid-distance, and hit continuously, feeling hot. Brown, who was defending him, also felt the change in his opponent, especially DeRozan's eyes, the dead fish eyes that had not been able to wake up, as if they had turned on, burst into fiery light.

The score was soon tied, 56:56.

The Suns offense, it is still DeRozan who defends Chen Shu, because in the second quarter, DeRozan's 3-point defense against Chen Shu is good. And in order to limit Chen Shu's breakthrough, after the start of the second half, Chen Shu's assistance defense was also tighter. Obviously, Casey can see that the core of the Suns' offense on the court is this Asian rookie, strangling this, the Suns can't make any big waves, although the team wants to be bad, but it also needs to win, and tactically it still can't lose to the opponent.

Chen Shu, who had suffered setbacks in his first two attacks, changed his strategy and began to try some combinations of off-ball and ball-based play. As soon as he reached the 3-point line, he passed the ball to Hill, who responded, and then chose to get rid of the defense and reach the 45° position on the right side of the free throw line, Hill quickly passed back, but at this time DeRozan had already followed, Chen Shu did not make a strong shot, but attracted the attention of the assistant defenders in the middle distance, and then plugged it with one hand, and gave it to the basket at this time to slip to the bottom line and run to Morris, who received the ball in the middle of the march and made a layup with a low hand, and scored easily.

56:58。

The sudden change made DeRozan, who was defending Chen Shu, a little unable to react, but he didn't expect Chen Shu, who had been resolutely shooting before, to give up his own shot so easily. However, this also meets the coach's defensive requirements, at least the Suns' strongest point is limited.

Off the court, Gentry was still worried that Chen Shu, who had been frustrated in his attack, would get into the horns and obsessed with attacking by himself, but he didn't expect Chen Shu to find a solution quickly.

On the other side, Calderon got 2 assists in a row from DeRozan, which made him happy. Seeing DeRozan run out of position again, he didn't think much about it and passed straight over.

But things can be one or the other, Chen Shu judged the passing route and directly stealed. They had been thinking about Chen Shu's offense before, but Chen Shu's defensive ability has also improved greatly after the bonus of skills and this period of training. Counting the skill of 81 points of defensive awareness and 77 points of steal attributes, Chen Shu can have 1~2 steals per game.

In other words, after the steal at the 3-point line, Chen Shu ran wildly with the ball, followed only Calderon alone, but it was obvious that the latter's speed was slightly worse than Chen Shu. Both the audience and the players thought that the fast-break layup was absolutely stable.

But Chen Shu will always be unexpected, there is a big vacancy in front of him, Chen Shu actually chose to make an emergency stop outside the three-point line, this choice made everyone stunned.

Stop outside the 3-point line, big vacancy, pull up and shoot, in this game, Chen Shu only speculated for 3 points in the first game, for a Chen Shu who relied on 3 points as the main offensive means, how to do it without scoring 3 points. Just now to get rid of the defense, a big open opportunity. For others, there may be a problem with the choice, but for Chen Shu, this is the best opportunity.

As Chen Shu expected, the 3-point hit steadily. Open the eight-fold mirror, eight hundred miles away, a headshot. Viewers have found that they have fallen in love with the Asian point guard, and the rookie has brought them so many surprises.

Several Asian students shouted "Chen Shu, Chen Shu, Chen Shu" in Chinese, and the short-haired girl among them heard this familiar name, and her eyes became blank, as if she was caught in memories and thoughts.

Chen Shu on the field seemed to hear Chinese's shout, and looked over there, and sure enough, he saw a few Asian-looking international students, saying Chinese, it should be Chinese, so Chen Shu waved his hand over there.

Suddenly, Chen Shu found a familiar figure among those people, but because he couldn't see clearly from too far away, Chen Shu didn't think much about it, maybe it looked like it.

Chen Shu, who was caught in the offensive and defensive battle next, quickly forgot about this episode. Because of DeRozan's outburst, the Raptors seem to have found a strong point, and when a team has a strong point, then their offense becomes smoother.

Under the leadership of DeRozan, the Suns' defense was greatly tested throughout the first half of the quarter, and in terms of overall strength, the Raptors who found the rhythm were stronger than the Suns.

Soon the Raptors overtook the score, 66-62. And Chen Shu only scored a 3-pointer in these 6 minutes, scoring 3 points and 2 assists. Moreover, Chen Shu was tired of defense and had a huge physical exertion, and he quickly sweated profusely.

Gentry noticed this and replaced Chen.

In the second half of the third quarter, both teams used a mixed lineup of starting benches, and the Raptors further stretched the score with better form, although Telfil was full of energy, neither on the offensive or defensive end, but could not help the team much.

With 15 seconds left in the third quarter, the Raptors were on a strong move, stretching the margin to more than 10 points, and the score came to 82:70.

In the last attack, Gentry called a timeout, and this attack was very important, and if it was scored, it meant that they could narrow the gap to 10 points and enter the fourth quarter.

Chen Shu decisively swallowed the physical recovery potion he had bought before, and said to Gentry: "Coach, next, I'll play, we will definitely win this game."

"Huh? Chen, aren't you taking a break? ”

"I've regained my strength, you know the coach, my talent is to recover quickly, haha"

"Ahem. Well, well, you have to pay attention to yourself, you can't be reckless, it's easy to get hurt, and then, if you can't bear it, you can call a timeout"

"Yes, okay, coach, thank you!" Hearing Gentry's words, Chen Shu was grateful, no matter what the other party's intentions were, at least he was worried that he would be injured.
