Although Chen Zhi was indeed shaking his finger at Uncle Mu, even his Mavericks teammates, including Matthews, thought that Chen Zhi was shaking his finger at the Rockets bench to provoke, and the same was true of the ace trio in the TNT studio.

Feeling hot 8 shots and 8 shots, crisscrossing the Mavericks' interior line like entering a no-man's land, just now a feint shook off Mejri, a cadre of players on the Rockets bench had already stood up, ready to wave a towel to help the brave veteran Nene celebrate.

After Chen finished blocking the inside, he shook his finger in the direction where Mutombo was, and it did seem that he was teasing the Rockets bench, no wonder the referee was very decisive in blowing a technical foul!

This technical foul was so taken for granted that Maverick owner Mark Cuban, who has always liked to roar at the referee, only raised his eyebrows after seeing the referee's blow, without any doubts at all.

"Hey, it seems that Chen Zhi's punishment is indeed up for debate, you see Mutombo in the replay, when the referee blew the whistle, he just raised his right index finger, as if he was responding to Chen Zhi, through this action, I feel that these two people should have eye contact, Chen Zhi is indeed shaking his fingers at him!"

O'Neill is very big, but he saw Mutombo's movements in the replay shot very carefully!

"Probably the league will re-examine this technical foul after the game." Barkley also looked at the replay camera and nodded, agreeing with the big shark.

"It seems that it's better not to shake your fingers in front of Mutombo, anyone who shakes his finger in front of him will be whistled for a technical foul, and the last one to shake his finger in front of him was Jordan who completed the dunk, and the basketball god was whistled for a technical foul without exception." Kenny Smith said with a smile.

Chen Zhi felt very unhappy with this penalty, but he was helpless, and he simply would not have much impact on this game, at most because of a technical foul and fined himself a thousand meters of gold.

For technical fouls, the NBA has strict penalty rules, the first 5 technical fouls in the regular season, each will be awarded a 1,000-meter fine, after which the fine will increase, and after the 16th technical foul, the game will be automatically suspended for one game.

Chen Zhi felt that he should not reach 16 technical fouls in a season, and it didn't matter if he had one more or less fouls, so he simply ignored it, anyway, the players were helpless against the referees on the court, they were the gods on the court.

The game continued quickly, the Dallas Mavericks attacked, Barnes, who was slowly moving outside the three-point line, took advantage of the moment when the defender in front of him paid attention to the ball and Powell's blocking, and suddenly ran to the basket, Chen immediately grabbed the ball with one hand and threw it into the air during the breakthrough, Barnes immediately eagle hit the air to complete the empty dunk, for Barnes, the ball alone is indeed not efficient, and it is a little difficult for him, and the off-ball air cut that the Warriors are accustomed to is his sharpest weapon.

Barnes's active offense on the court, Chen Zhi also began to exert his strength on the offensive end, after all, the Mavericks are ten goals behind, especially when the Rockets are hot, it is a bit dangerous to continue to maintain this point difference, and it is better to narrow the point difference as soon as possible.

However, even if Chen Zhi started to score frequently and continued to send assists, the speed at which the difference shortened was still very slow, and with 3 minutes left in the game, the difference was still five points!

The two core beards and round-faced Gordon of the Rockets' backcourt are also efficiently adding points to the Rockets during the period when Chen Zhi is constantly scoring, especially Gordon, who repeatedly pretended to cut inside and then V-shaped outside, and hit three points after receiving Harden's pass.

Although the offensive tactics of the Rockets emphasize speed, pursuing a 7-second offense similar to the Suns during the Nash period, and the positional battle tactics are mostly simple tactical cooperation, simple tactics can also bring obvious results when they are unexpected.

For example, Gordon's offenses are the thru down tactics that D'Antoni also used during his time with the Suns, which is actually very simple, Harden holds the ball on the right side as an axis, can play alone and pass, attract the attention of defenders, Gordon starts without the ball outside the three-point line, pretends to cut inside, and then Capela helps cut to Gordon who receives Harden's pass outside the three-point line again to make a cover.

In fact, under Matthews' defense, after this tactic was played, it did not form a particularly good space, especially when this tactic was used in the next few times. Matthews' off-ball defense is very good, and his marking of Gordon is very good, and he was only slightly delayed by Capela for a moment, but for NBA players, it is enough to complete the shot, and Gordon, who is in hot form, has no shots.

The Mavericks launched an offense after the Rockets scored the ball, playing the Mavericks' run-in very pure UCLA cut-in series tactics, Chen Zhi successfully went around the three-point line to receive the ball after passing the weak-side double screen, and the tactics worked well, and Ariza was successfully delayed by Powell's last cover.

Chen Zhi shot three points after receiving a pass from Bogut who responded to the high position, and the Houston Rockets fans immediately had their hearts beat to their throats, the Mavericks' new core three-point shooting rate was too rebellious, and there were a lot of reports about his three-point shooting in the media recently, basically a fan, who knew that the Mavericks had such a three-point accurate guy.

However, Chen made a shot this time, and the three-point shot that had fallen into the basket was brushed out of the basket and failed to hit!!

Fortunately, after covering Chen Zhi, Barnes had rushed to the basket for the first time and completed a powerful dunk, which would have caused fans to cry out for a tsunami if it was in Dallas.

Chen Zhi's three-point shot that missed the opportunity did not attract much attention from fans and even coaches, it is too normal to miss three-pointers in the NBA, and Curry often has times when he hits iron continuously.

No one noticed that Chen Zhi frowned, this is not the first time he has missed a three-point shot in this game, in fact, since the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, Chen Zhi has begun to increase the number of three-point shots, and the previous three quarters of three-point shots were all 5 shots, and this quarter only hit 3 shots out of 7 shots.

It's a signal! Chen Zhi understands very well that his three-point shooting rate in the preseason and the first two games of the regular season is bidding farewell to him, although there were times when he was lost in the previous games, but most of them were caused by his own adjustment of rhythm and forced shots, and 3 of the 4 three-pointers missed in this game were thrown in the state of running out of the vacancy.

But even so, Chen Zhi's three-point shot is still the most feared weapon of the Rockets, and it is also the most powerful weapon that the Mavericks, who are not strong except for Chen Zhi, rely on.

The last three minutes of the game were very close, although Chen Zhi stood up, but taking over the game was not as smooth as before, forming an absolute lead for the Rockets, because his three-point shooting rate was not enough to go against the sky, and the Rockets were still continuing the hot game feeling.

Fortunately, 10 seconds before the end, when the Dallas Mavericks only led by one point, Chen Zhicheng successfully completed a steal under the Rockets' mistake and hit a three-pointer on the counterattack, basically sealing the victory.

Although the three-point shooting rate declined, Chen Zhi still dared to shoot, at least his three-point shooting rate in this game was maintained at more than five layers, and he was not soft at the critical moment.

In the last ten seconds of the game, the Rockets fought desperately, and when they missed a quick three-point shot and failed to grab a rebound in the frontcourt, they sent Chen Zhi to the free throw line, and Chen Zhi's score of two free throws came to 50 points again, and at the same time, it completely brutally killed the Rockets' fantasy of getting the first win of the season at home.

After the game, the bearded man hugged Chen Zhi again, "I was going to treat you well after the game and let you see the wonderful night in Houston, but your three-point shot completely killed all this, I can only go home tonight and stay honestly, otherwise the media will definitely run away with me again!" ”

Houston, which has lost three consecutive games in the opening season, has indeed put Harden under a lot of pressure, and it is indeed not easy to lead the team with a single core!!

It is so difficult to lead the team as strong as Harden's single-core, and the number one legendary player in Houston who watched the game on the sidelines led the team to win the championship that year, you can imagine how great it is!

It's just that Olajuwon's signature skills are so loud that with the passage of time, they even overshadow the glory brought by his two championships to a certain extent.

"I haven't watched the schedule, in the short term, we shouldn't have a fight, I think your first win of the season should be coming soon!" Chen Zhi said with a smile, even if Harden wants to take him to a nightclub, he may not agree, and even if he agrees, Zhou Jian may not agree. "Be sure to keep a safe distance from the beard!!" This is what Zhou Jian has been warning Chen Dao for the past two days. However, I haven't heard any news that Harden has brought his teammates badly!

When Harden heard Chen's words, he immediately sent a large blank of eyes with his eyes, and Chen's words sounded like saying that if they meet the Dallas Mavericks again, the Rockets will still be difficult to win!

However, Harden, who has lost to the Mavericks in two consecutive games, can't come up with any favorable refutation for Chen Zhi's slightly arrogant words.

After Chen Zhi accepted a sideline interview, Penguin Sports can be said to have taken the lead in grabbing interview resources, Liu Ning's performance in the interview became more and more mature, looking at Liu Ning who asked various questions to himself, Chen Zhi couldn't help but think, it was hard to imagine that the little girl in front of her was still a nestling that couldn't do without the bird's nest a few months ago.

"That technical foul got you into an argument with the referee, do you have anything to say about that?" Liu Ning asked with a smile.

Before Chen Zhi could answer, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban came over, "There's nothing to say, I like Chen Zhi's actions very much, this is the temperament that a team's core player should have, he used his actions to inspire the Mavericks' fighting spirit, and the team will be responsible for the fine!" ”

Cuban was very supportive of Chen Zhi in front of the camera, with a serious face, without the slightest hint of laughter.

Chen Zhi shook his head when he heard this, Cuban never thinks it's a big deal to see the excitement, sometimes he can't wait to get on the court to do things by himself, and after saying the reason for shaking his finger with a smile, he continued, "After the final review of the league, the technical foul may be revoked, and I believe that the league and the referee association will make the right decision!" ”

"So that's the case, it's okay, I've paid enough fines over the years, it's not bad for this thousand meters of gold, I hope that next time you finish the block, shake your finger again, even if it's a provocation! Ha ha! After hearing the reason, Cuban couldn't help but joke.

Chen Zhi's technical foul for shaking his finger in the game was just a small episode, and the major media did not make a big fuss in the report, because they had more important content to report, "How crazy is it to lose the draft with the top salary in the three 50+ games in the opening season!" ”

This season's Dallas Mavericks game has received a lot of attention that has not been seen in recent years, because Chen Zhi's performance is really crazy, and after every Mavericks game, Chen Zhi will undoubtedly make headlines!

After just three regular season games, Chen Zhi has completely made a name for himself in the NBA, and social media is full of discussions about Chen Zhi.

After a two-year break, Embiid, who just played this year, wrote on IG: "The best rookie only competes between two people!" Chen arrives! ”

The level of the 16 rookies after the start of the season really confirmed the judgment of the draft year, except for the rookie Embiid two years ago and this year's undrafted Chen Dao, none of them had a bright performance in the game.

After the game, Chen Zhi returned to the team's residence hotel in Houston, and immediately entered the ball soul system to check the situation.

Recently, the growth rate of soul power value has increased significantly compared to the past, after this game, it is not surprising that the soul power value should reach at least 1 million, Chen Zhi wants to see if this number can stimulate high-level strengthening, after all, the number of soul power points is already very high.

Unfortunately, the high-level enhancement options are still dark, and there is no sign of enhancement.

This made Chen Zhi inevitably a little disappointed, in the current three-point shooting feeling has gradually lost, he is eager to strengthen his height, and his current height undoubtedly limits his dominance on the court.

Although he can still play efficiently on the court, but as the touch continues to drain, his efficiency will continue to decline, after he can't play against the sky, it is difficult to say what kind of record the Dallas Mavericks can come up with, after all, the main players of the Mavericks are too old and slow, and the bench players are not talented, a few games are okay, to take on the burden of the whole season, they are not capable enough.

If he can continue to strengthen his height and arm span, although the three-point shooting rate will not improve, Chen Zhi's dominance on the court will definitely be further strengthened.

It's just that the soul power required for high-level enhancement does seem to be massive, and one million soul power points still haven't triggered the enhancement.

Early the next morning, the Dallas Mavericks assembled at the hotel and prepared to fly back to Dallas for the airport.

Today is nothing special for China, but for the people of the United States, it is a special day, October 31, the eve of Halloween, just as the most lively Chinese New Year is Chinese New Year's Eve, the most lively and important time of Halloween is on the eve.

To celebrate Halloween, children dress up as all sorts of cute goblins and knock on doors from house to house, asking for candy or trick-or-treating. It's a very important holiday for children.

For NBA players, it's party time!

Nowitzki, the big guy after the back-to-back wins, was obviously very happy, and before he returned to Dallas, he had already invited the players to a makeup party at home!
