Chapter 208: Left or Right

Langston Galloway is an undrafted pick, with an average of 9.7 points, 2.9 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game in the Knicks at the end of the year, and only reached a two-year 10 million contract with the Pelicans this year. X

He doesn't look down on others getting the top salary, but he can't accept a draft like Chen Zhi who directly gets the top salary.

Old man Carlisle is a very peaceful person off the court, but on the field and in training, it is best not to provoke him to lose his temper, and he is a little similar to the old man ** Vicky, Duncan who can scold dry eyes.

Hearing the bald card's disgruntled shout, Chen Zhi glanced at the time, and there were 12 seconds left.

Anderson also shouted anxiously on the side, "Chen! Attack! What are you doing! Pass the ball! ”

"Which way do you want me to pass you, left or right?"

After feeling Langston Galloway's provocation, Chen Zhi also said in his previous flat tone.

"Haha, interesting, let me choose? Then you finish the breakthrough from my right side! "Langston Galloway doesn't flinch!

He really didn't believe that Chen Zhi could pass him at will, and made up his mind to break through on the left side, so he didn't believe that you could break through from the right.

As he spoke, he moved his body slightly to his right, giving Chen less room to break through to the right.

Seeing this, Chen Zhi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be very surprised to see the gap on the left side of Galloway, the ball in his left hand suddenly changed direction to the front right, and then his left foot stepped up.

Langston Galloway showed a sneer the moment Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows, young man, the subconscious action of your brow betrayed you!

His body moved slightly to the right just now, but the pace under his feet was ready to move to his left at any time, seeing this Chen Zhi's movement, Langston immediately moved to the left, which side will not give you a chance to break through!

If after what he said just now, he really let go of Chen to break through to the left, unless Galloway is extremely naïve or directly stupid!

Chen Zhi's footsteps were not particularly fast, and Langston had a premeditated defensive move, and even grabbed ahead of Chen Zhi.

At the moment when Galloway's footsteps were completed, Chen was able to land with his left foot, and Galloway immediately used his body to stick to it, at this time, as long as his body exerted force, it was easy to force the opponent to stop the ball.

The moment he sticks to Chen's body, his heart jumps in an ordinary way, and the feeling of sticking to the defense is not right, and the opponent should usually stagger to stop the ball because of the sudden unstable body contact action, at least there will be a brief confusion in the rhythm of the dribbling action.

But this guy in front of him doesn't seem to feel the power he exerts on the defensive end at all!

At the moment when Chen Zhi's body was attached to Galloway's body, he pulled the ball with his right hand and turned around quickly, and the action rate far exceeded the start of the cross-step just now, which was his normal action speed.

This swift backward turn was completed by leaning on Galloway's axis, and Galloway's strength was pushing forward, and his feet wanted to move, but he didn't have time to make adjustments.

After turning around, Chen Zhi quickly changed the direction of the basketball in the air with his left hand, and instantly broke through from the right side of Galloway and killed the basket.

Atkinsa, who was defending Powell in the middle distance of the baseline, saw Chen Zhi complete the breakthrough, and immediately moved to the basket, letting Powell go to the middle distance, and he couldn't let the opponent go to the basket.

Atkinsa's height and long arms are definitely a blocking weapon under the basket, but his turning speed and footpace are too slow, and the thick eyebrows who are farther away and the outside defender Solomon Hill are a little faster than him.

But at greater distances, a little faster doesn't help.

Chen Zhi drove straight down, and before the three people were in place, he had already completed the violent deduction.

In the process of retreating, passing by Langston Galloway, Chen Zhi said flatly: "Your defense is not much different from a stake to me, saying that passing from the right will never be from the left!" ”

Galloway looked at Chen Zhi's momentum that absolutely crushed him, and said angrily: "Don't be complacent, I have 100 ways to get past you!" ”

"I'll wait for you! Come on! Score in front of me, count yourself as a win! Chen Zhi turned around and said.

For people who are taller than him, such as Nowitzki and Durant, Chen Zhi will never dare to say this, height is an absolute advantage, people just have the height of the shot that can be projected head-on, and Chen Zhi will never be able to limit these people if he does not foul.

However, Galloway, whose height is no different from himself, Chen Zhi dared to respond so absolutely domineering.

Although the champion Ben Simmons has realized that Chen is strong after a game in the summer league, it is clear that many people are not paying attention to the summer league at all, especially the games of non-home players.

Galloway's sudden provocation made Chen Zhi find that he needed to show his presence in the NBA in a more high-profile manner, otherwise he would have to endlessly face the provocations of these small characters who were resentful of getting big contracts.

Toads don't bite, but they're annoying!

So, be brutal with Galloway! Thinking like this, Chen Zhi turned his neck left and right.

Langston Galloway was busy arguing with Chen and did not get to the baseline to receive the serve, and the defender swingman Moore dribbled the ball across the frontcourt.

This Moore, like Galloway, is a new player signed by the Pelicans this year, and he grabbed the opportunity to play with the Bulls, playing with 7.5 points, 2.2 assists, and 2.1 rebounds.

It's not a good statistic, but he's very efficient, shooting 48% from the field and 45% from three-point range! It's just that the number of three-point shots he makes is a bit small, and after a large number of three-point shots, it is very difficult to ensure this kind of efficiency.

But the Pelicans still offered a four-year, $34 million contract, hoping that he could fill the void left by Eric Gordon.

It's really sad that a small city team like the Pelicans can rarely keep big-name players, and can only sign players who show potential without causing a rush, and expect them to play better with the Pelicans.

Seeing Galloway beckoning to him for the ball, Moore did not hesitate and passed the ball directly.

Every player wants to respond after the opponent attacks, and he knows that Galloway wants to prove his quality, especially since it's pre-season and there is no need to be serious about every goal.

After passing the ball, Moore ran to the wing three-point line to open up space for Galloway, and the other teammates, including Anthony Davis, understood the subtle relationship, although they didn't hear what the two had just said, but they all opened up space to create an environment for Galloway to break through.

"Boy, don't be so complacent, it's nothing to pass once, and when you play a few more NBA games, you'll get used to it." Galloway was defending himself for being overlooked.

Chen Zhi smiled: "Obviously, you have long been accustomed to it!" ”

"Humph! You are very good at defending on your lips, but I don't know if your defensive skills are also so powerful! ”

"Just try it! As I said, you win by scoring in front of me! Chen Zhi smiled at Galloway, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc.
