After the game with the Trail Blazers, Chen continued to do projection training for a while. Ｘ

The guy who sprained his foot in this game was practicing after the game, and the young players who didn't play much time in the Mavericks naturally couldn't stand and watch, they already understood Chen Zhi's intentions at the moment.

The post-game training time is not long, and the amount of exercise is not large, there is only less than half an hour of projection practice in total, but the projection training with a small amount of exercise for half an hour every day will slowly form a qualitative change invisibly, and many things will often have unexpected gains in the case of paying an extra half an hour every day.

Chen Zhi does not expect players like the Mavericks to grow quickly, but as the core of the team, he is very willing to grow up with these teammates who have just entered the NBA.

Although the NBA is a business field, I believe that any locker room that gets along well does not want a trade to happen, unless teammates can get bigger and better contracts and have better opportunities in other teams, such as Barnes leaving the Warriors to join the Mavericks, the Warriors undoubtedly send their blessings to Barnes.

The next morning's training was routinely canceled after the game, but Chen Zhi did not choose to train at home, but rushed to the training hall with Zhou Jian as always, and sure enough, not long after, several young players of the Mavericks arrived!

Chen Zhi did not force this, but his position as the boss of the team, coupled with a good locker room atmosphere, made these Mavericks players willing to work side by side with Chen Zhi, not to mention that they already knew that Chen Zhi's hard training was by no means a show, since he came to the Mavericks, it has always been like this!

The coaching staff doesn't have a routine morning break like the players, they mostly show up on time, and they have a lot of work, such as Carlisle analysing the game footage for the team in the afternoon training and pointing out the problems in the game.

Although the Mavericks have started the new season very well and the team has played well around Chen, Nowitzki's injury will still have a big impact on the team, at least the big four, small and five shooter lineup that played a miracle against the Jazz has basically no chance to show after Novitz is missing.

On the way to the training hall, Carlisle was already thinking about the changes in the team's starters, Nowitzki's absence, whether Powell would be better to play the starter, or give Finney Smith more chances, maybe you can ask Chen Zhi's opinion to see who he would prefer to play with.

Walking into the Mavericks' new training hall, Carlisle couldn't help but be stunned, the newcomers of the Mavericks team, all of them were in the arena, which was really beyond his expectations, it seems that these new players deserve more opportunities to play!

Taking advantage of Chen's training break, Carlisle walked up to Chen's side and talked to Chen Zhi about the team's rotation arrangement after Nowitzki's absence.

"The trend in the NBA right now is to play faster, and I think we can also raise the pace of the game."

Chen Zhi did not say who he would be the starter, but only expressed the idea of increasing the pace of the game and playing more offensive and defensive transitions, but it is clear that Finneysmith has an advantage over Powell in this regard.

In the afternoon training, the Mavericks veterans also showed up in the training hall for training, and the older players really can't increase the training volume like the younger ones, and even deliberately reduce the training volume in normal training, otherwise they may be injured in training like DeLong.

Following Nowitzki's Achilles tendon injury, Deron Williams will also have to recover for a while due to a minor injury.

Injuries are often annoying, but for the team's young bench players, this is an opportunity to make a difference, and the Mavericks' young bench players will obviously get more playing time. Despite the successive injuries, the atmosphere in the Mavericks' locker room is not sluggish, but the young players on the team are a little eager to try.

After the team's training was over, they trained spontaneously, and Chen Zhi naturally joined in.

Every weekend, NBA games are played early, and the Bucks' away game against the Mavericks will be played at 3 p.m.

In the preseason, the Bucks and the Mavericks have had a match, and the Bucks beat the Mavericks by 30 points at home, but the main players of the Mavericks did not play much time in that game, but the main players of the Bucks were still on the court in the fourth quarter, and the victory or defeat of that game was not enough to show the true strength of the two sides.

In the regular season, although Nuo Tianwang and Deron are both out due to injury, the Mavericks are still confident to win the game, as long as Chen does not sit on the bench again in this game.

The Bucks have played 6 games in the new season, and they are currently 4-2, which is a good start and shows that the Bucks have a very strong strength in the new season.

Despite this, the Bucks still didn't dare to be careless against the Mavericks in this game, because Chen Zhi's combat effectiveness in the opening stage of the regular season was too terrifying, and as long as Chen Zhi was there, the Bucks did not dare to say that they were sure of winning.

What's more, this game is already the third game in the last four days for the Bucks, and the game against the Mavericks on the road is even back-to-back.

This schedule was really unfriendly for the Bucks, who won the previous games and the team atmosphere is pretty good.

The game started early at the referee's whistle.

Finnish Miss started in place of the absent Nowitzki, and the Mavericks can also be regarded as a big and four small for the lineup on the court, but the projection ability compared to Nowitzki and Deron when they appeared on the court is really not flattering.

However, the defensive ability of this lineup is quite passable, Chen Zhi's defensive ability is unexpectedly underestimated under the cover of dazzling offensive ability, and it is also because Carlisle has always let Chen Zhi defend those role players in the opponent's lineup, and did not collide with the opponent's offensive arrows, in this case, it is difficult for Chen Zhi to have a sense of presence on the defensive end.

Matthews' defensive ability does not need to be doubted, he has always been the top defensive player in the Mavericks' backcourt, but after a major injury to his foot, his lateral movement ability has decreased significantly, and his defensive ability is somewhat lacking when facing speed-type openings.

Barnes and Fenysmith are both athletic small forwards who can defend the No.4 position, and Bogut is slow on his feet but has a commendable amount of rim protection and experience.

Maybe it's true, as Mavericks head coach Carlisle said, the Mavericks are always on the defensive right now.

The Bucks' starters, in addition to the two core players of Brother Alphabet and Jabari Parker, the point guard is Dellavedova, and the starting center is the brother of the Trail Blazers' starting center Mason Plumlee, Myles Plumlee.

It's just that compared to his younger brother, who has a subtle ability to play a game, the Bucks, Plumlee is a complete blue-collar defensive player, and there is really nothing to praise other than excellent jumping.

He is just a pseudo-starter with the Bucks, although he starts, he only averages ten minutes of playing time per game, and the Bucks spend more time on the inside with Monroe.

Middleton, last season's main player, was reimbursed for the season, and the Bucks management supplemented it with Kidd's failed test product McCarvey and traded Tony Nel from the Bulls as a supplement, and Snell has integrated very well with the Bucks in the previous regular season games.

After all, he's always been a very commendable role player, who doesn't need to play on the offensive end with the ball, just needs to shoot when he receives a pass and avoid his weaknesses.

And the positive performance on the defensive end has always been the main reason why Snell can get playing time in the Bulls, close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, and Snell, who has a personal relationship with Spurs Leonard, is obviously not bad defensively.

In the Bucks' starting lineup, the worst defensive link is probably the 14-year-old star Jabeur Parker, who is 203 cm tall and plays the No. 4 position, mainly relying on excellent skills and weight, and the defensive end is not his strong point.

Probably this is also the reason why Kidd had to put Plumlee in the starting lineup, and he had to try to stagger the playing time of Jabari Parker and Monroe, otherwise the Bucks' interior defense would be a disaster.

Even if there is Brother Alphabet, a firefighter with super defense ability, he probably can't make up for these two black holes.

In general, the Bucks are still a team with excellent defense, after all, head coach Kidd has always been very demanding on the team's defense, and he was obsessed with players with super long height and arm span, and getting McCarvey from the 76ers is a major advantage of height and arm span on the defensive end.

At the referee's whistle, the game between the two teams began quickly.

Bogut's current jumping ability can't catch up with the Plumlee brothers, who are famous for their bounces, and the Bucks are not surprised to get an opening offensive opportunity.

Although Matthews has always been responsible for defending the opponent's offensive core, the Bucks, the monster brother, he is really beyond his defensive range, and Barnes naturally does not let him play against the brother. Barnes is really not afraid when he plays against Brother Alphabet, a famous little monster in the league, and now Barnes has a relatively short offensive means, but his defensive ability has always been his housekeeping skill.

What's more, the sharpness of Brother Alphabet lies in the rapid counterattack when the offense and defense are converted, and there are also not many means of positional warfare.

In the end, he relied on his height to force a mid-range shot in front of Barnes, but unfortunately he couldn't hit the ball.

Chen, who was defending Dellavedova in the bottom corner, was lucky enough to pick up the rebound that bounced in front of him.

Usually, the first offensive option for defensive teams is to quickly counterattack after grabbing a defensive rebound, and this Mavericks team is no exception.

In the Bucks' offense just now, Fennis Miss, who was taken to the wing three-point line by Jabari Parker, immediately rushed to the forefront of the counterattack.

Jabari Parker, a small forward with a more technical floor flow, is clearly no match for electric fans when it comes to running comfort.

The electric fan was running wildly to the front court, and all that could be thought of was what Chen Zhi said to him before the opening, "Run, run, run to the basket and jump up, and the ball will be in your hands!" ”

Probably Finneysmith trusted Chen's passing ability too much, or got a start, which stimulated the potential in his body, and the speed of the electric fan was simply galloping, and he was about to reach the basket in the blink of an eye, and Chen had just passed half court with one foot at this time.

Brother Alphabet is worthy of being the absolute core of the Bucks' offense and defense, he saw that after Chen Zhi got the rebound, he took the lead in defending to the halfcourt, but after turning around, he found that there were still people who were one step faster than him!

Immediately, he stepped away from his long legs and began to run wildly, coupled with the terrifying cadence that a player of his height would never have, the distance between him and the electric fan became closer and closer, and it was probably not more than three or five steps to catch up with the electric fan.

If Brother Alphabet successfully rushes to the vicinity of the electric fan, then the Mavericks' fast air will be roughly disintegrated this time, because behind Brother Alphabet, although the speed is not fast, but Parker is also running wildly, once he takes the lead in returning to the backcourt and settling down, it is difficult for the Mavericks to have a chance to arrive in the future.

Chen Zhi watched the electric fan that shook off his footsteps and ran wildly, probably running out of the best speed of his career, and couldn't help but regret boasting a little before the game, "When you get to the basket, the ball is here!" ”

To be honest, Chen Zhi knew that he could pass this kind of half-court empty catch, although the success rate is not as high as before, but there is still a letter brother in the middle, and the difficulty of this pass is even higher.

After all, Brother Alphabet's bounce and arm span are not vegetarians, as long as he finds a pass, the probability of a successful break is very high, and the height of the pass must be guaranteed.

And the distance between him and the electric fan is very close, if you pass the ball to a height that even a letter brother can't reach, then the electric fan may not be able to catch the ball!

In fact, the safest way is to stop and play a positional battle, but any point guard who is sober-minded will definitely suppress his speed at this moment and attack the position.

However, he boasted about Haikou before the game, if he didn't pass the ball to the electric fan at this time, he was afraid that it would dampen the electric fan's fast-break enthusiasm, after all, he had to encourage the electric fan to run more to the basket, because the electric fan's three-point shooting rate this season was only two percent, and once he stopped cutting on the court, there was basically no threat.

To pass an empty connection, Chen Zhi made a decision in an instant!

In the process of quickly holding the ball, he suddenly stopped and collected the ball with both hands, squinted his eyes, and sent the ball forward with both hands!

"Oh!" The audience immediately collectively exclaimed, after all, Chen was far away in the middle of the field at the moment, and he wanted to send an empty pick-up.

The most important thing is that the height of Chen's empty pass is surprisingly high, I am afraid it will be a passing error!!

Brother Alphabet seemed to sense something from the reaction of the audience, and suddenly turned his head to find the basketball flying above him, and immediately jumped as hard as he could to intercept the pass.

After he jumped and straightened his long arms, his fingertips even felt the air flow of the basketball as it slashed, but unfortunately, he didn't touch the basketball at that distance.

At this height, this guy in front shouldn't be able to catch the ball! Brother Alphabet immediately had a premonition!

Then Finneysmith, who was not far in front of him, jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket without much effort!!

How could it be! Brother Alphabet couldn't believe his eyes, the height of this basketball dropped was much bigger than he imagined!

In the cheers of the audience, Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made no mistakes, which can be regarded as his peak pass!

When Brother Alphabet was waiting for the serve, he watched the replay on the big screen, and he found that the original Chen Zhi's pass was completely different from the ordinary kind of empty pass trajectory similar to a straight pass, but drew an extremely high huge parabola, as early as when it reached the top of his head, it was already falling, no wonder the height of the descent would be far beyond his expectations!

This passing ability is truly breathtaking!
