Under the leadership of Chen Zhi, the first quarter of the game ended, and the Dallas Mavericks led 33:27 to end the first half.

Compared with Anthony Davis's 14 points and 5 rebounds, Chen Zhi's 12 points and 5 assists in a single quarter are a little inferior, and Chen Zhi is naturally dissatisfied with this data, mainly because he passed the ball in his hand and did not make many offensive shots.

It's just that he is a little dissatisfied with the conversion rate of pass assists, NBA players are much better at defending under the basket, and the few people who play with him are not stable enough in their projection ability.

The second quarter of the game is about to start, Chen Zhi stood up to warm up, ready to continue to play to brush up the data, the first preseason game always has to come to a beautiful data, isn't it!

However, as soon as he walked from the sidelines, he was called back by Carlisle.

"Chen Dao, your task today is complete, sit down and rest!" After Carlisle finished speaking, he continued to turn to Barria and said, "You and Seth partner in the backcourt, this quarter of the game, on the offensive end, you have to give Harrison more opportunities for mid-distance singles." ”

Carlisle didn't care about the pre-season win or defeat at all, and the most important thing was to train the team, especially for Barnes. He found that when Chen was on the court, Barnes always seemed to be suppressed by a layer of plausibility, and his shots obviously showed that he was not confident.

It was probably Chen's efficient performance that put pressure on him, Carlyle thought, so he kept Chen on the bench to give Barnes more time and space to regain confidence and get ready for the regular season.

Chen Zhi sat on the sidelines and found that the Pelicans' thick eyebrows didn't play, so he realized that the real stars in the preseason didn't have much playing time, so it's no wonder that there weren't many people watching the game in the stadium.

At Carlisle's behest, the match became almost a singles practice for Barnes.

Chen Zhi is also paying attention to Barnes's singles performance, he has his own set of actions that he likes very much, tentative steps and then dribble one step dry, the hand shape is very beautiful, and the rhythm is not bad, but it is difficult to hit the ball smoothly, which is probably really related to the feel.

Under Barnes' leadership, the Dallas Mavericks' lead was gradually erased, and then overtaken, but in the end, Seth Curry hit two three-pointers in quick succession to roughly tie the score.

Presumably, Carlisle still felt that Barnes had too few solo shots, and even the main rotation players such as Seth Curry and Barria sat on the sidelines to rest in the following games.

By the start of the final quarter, the Mavericks had gone from leading by six points to trailing by 15 points, and the Patricks contributed at least half of the Pelicans' lead.

Watching Barnes strike iron one after another, still pulling out his hand with a persistent face, every shot was exactly the same from the action to the expression, Chen Zhi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of joy, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. The state is really amazing, there is no trace of it, Barnes's low state has lasted for a long time, and he has not found his form all offseason!

"Coach, why don't you let me go on the field and help Barnes!" Seeing Carlisle staring at himself snickering, Chen Zhi immediately said with a serious face.

It is said that it is indeed not a good habit to watch his teammates snickering at iron, but watching Barnes's neck stretch, shooting with confidence, and then staring at the basketball flight track, and finally finding that he still struck iron, I really can't help but want to laugh, mainly because of the confidence on his face, obviously he is pretending to be very confident, not confident at all, but his pretended self-confidence, in fact, he does not look confident, and the action of secretly swallowing saliva after striking iron has betrayed him......

Seth Curry, Anderson and others who were sitting around couldn't help but secretly laugh when they heard this.

Carlisle glanced at Chen Zhi when he heard this, "Except for Barnes himself, I'm afraid no one can really save his shot." ”

Chen Zhi sat on the bench and was bored, so he simply entered the ball soul system, anyway, he didn't need him to wave a towel, he found that although the growth rate of soul power was much faster, it was still a cut slower than Huaxia.

The attention of the preseason game is really not high, and probably few people will watch the whole preseason game except for real basketball die-hard fans, but fortunately, the amount of soul power collected in this game is not bad.

In the end, the Mavericks lost the game without question.

On the bus back to the hotel, the atmosphere was still good, but Barnes was a little sullen.

Although he scored 13 points in this game, he played the highest minutes and took the most shots among the team's main players. The efficiency is too low, especially with only 2 points on the ball, and in his own opinion, even this only goal is probably a blind shot.

The next game against the Hornets at the Mavericks' home stadium at the American Airlines Center, although it is only a preseason game, this is the first time in Barnes' career at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Although many players say that they don't care what others say about them, it is definitely a joke or a joke, and in fact the stars are very concerned about what fans think of them, and Barnes doesn't want to mess up in this game.

But today's poor hand made Barnes have to worry about what he can do next.

Especially when the team threw out two top salaries this summer, the performance of another top salary player, Chen Zhi, is very different from him.

And his relationship with other players, especially Justin, Seth, and Dwight, really made him a little envious.

Although he had just played a pre-season game, Barnes felt that he was getting farther and farther away from the team's position as the team's leader, and it was a real sense of loss.

After this game, it sparked a lot of discussions in the United States, especially a few scenes of Chen Zhi and Brother Thick Mei meeting and spraying trash talk, and everyone guessed what the two said.

And in the Dallas area, the performance of Chen Zhi and Seth Curry has made Mavericks fans look forward to the new season, because unconsciously, Dallas does not seem to be so old, but full of energy.

It's just that Barnes has inevitably received a lot of criticism, and many Dallas Mavericks fans have pointed out that Barnes should give up singles, and his inefficiency has hurt the team.

Compared with the rational expectations of Dallas Mavericks fans, Huaxia's praise of Chen Zhi is even more ruthless!

In just 12 minutes of the first quarter of the game, Chen was made nearly 50 animated pictures by a fan named Dallas Northsoft, attacking and defending, talking to Brother Thick Eyebrows, calling tactics and so on, and even the subtle movements of players such as Seth Curry and Powell when they returned to the bench and Chen Zhi high-fived were analyzed, which can be described as extremely fine.

In the end, Dallas Neusoft came to the conclusion that Chen Zhi had essentially become the leader of the Dallas Mavericks, at least in this preseason game when the Noras Kings did not play.

Dallas Northsoft's post on the GIF analysis was widely circulated, directly on the homepage, and tens of thousands of replies were posted on the top floor, winning countless fans for Chen Zhi and countless Chinese fans for the Dallas Mavericks.

Of course, there are also many people who criticize him for touting a new realm, and he did blow it with his heart, which is worthy of recognition, but after blowing to the sky, please let Chen Zhi land safely, after all, he is an NBA rookie, I am afraid that he will meet the rookie wall!

The second game of the preseason is played in three days, and Dallas did not train on the second day, after all, only one game was played yesterday, and there are still games to play tomorrow.

However, Chen Zhi did not rest, and still came to the Dallas Mavericks' training ground in the afternoon, his current social circle in the United States is still very narrow, and the focus is all on basketball, and he went to the training ground today for another reason, to save the Dallas Black Chickens!
