Jonathan Gibson is fast, as you can tell from his nickname, Shadow Assassin!

He has made the most of his fast offensive characteristics in the CBA league, and his speed is his sharpest weapon to score points, and there are few players in the CBA league who can keep up with his speed and stamina. Ｘ

However, the nickname Shadow Assassin also exposes his weaknesses, such as his thin size compared to NBA players, and his inconsistent shooting!

Gibson has always been quick to change direction.

In the face of Chen Zhi's defense, he took a step towards Chen Zhi's left with his right foot, and his right hand controlled the ball at the same time and moved to the right.

Very realistic breakthrough feints on the right side, even if Chen Zhi has a good sense of defense, he can't help but take a small step back to his left back in order to maintain a defensive position.

However, Gibson suddenly flicked his right hand, changed direction in front of his body, and went from Chen to the right side to the basket.

Two steps later, he was already holding the ball and jumping to the basket.

In the first few rounds of the fight, he already knew how fast this opponent from Huaxia was! At the same time, the footsteps on his side made him realize that his opponent was not completely eliminated, and he was following him like a shadow.

Instead of making a layup, Gibson made a small lever in the air to dodge the opponent's block, and only threw the ball upwards as his body fell.

"Bang!" There was a bang, the sound of basketballs and rebounds colliding.

"Oh! Strike! Even the well-informed Kuban could not help but applaud.

Some of the players who trained with Gibson and were ready to play in the summer league let out a "whoow" cry, and some covered their eyes.

Gibson didn't know what was going on after he threw the ball and landed behind the basket, but the spectators on the sidelines could see it clearly.

Chen Zhi, who was following Gibson, jumped quickly after he jumped, and the Oriental boy, who was half a head shorter than Gibson, instantly overtook Gibson, and his left arm went towards the ball block in Gibson's hand, but Gibson's first small lever just escaped this block!

Before the audience had time to applaud Gibson, they saw that the ball thrown by Gibson's backhand was nailed to the rebound with another right hand that could not be blocked by Gibson because of the distance, and the basketball that was going backwards to the basket was nailed to the rebound!

After finishing the defense, Chen Zhi began to attack.

Jonathan Gibson moved slowly as Chen changed his offensive route with the ball, and his heart was a little shocked.

I have been playing in China for many years and have never seen this player, which club is he from? Why don't I have the slightest impression of this player who is so good at offense and defense?

Chen Zhi held the ball all the way around the wing from the front, and then began to try to get closer to the basket.

Gibson was fully engaged in defense, carefully observing Chen Zhi's every move, he didn't know what kind of offensive move the opponent was going to use this time, because in the first three attacks, he had used three different ways to complete the score, there were three points, there was a stop-and-go shot after breaking through a step, and there was a violent dunk after dribbling past himself.

Chen Zhi glanced at Nowitzki, who was watching the game with great interest on the sidelines, and turned his back to Gibson to press down to the basket.

"Well, it looks like he has a lot of moves to score the ball, is it time to show off his back skills?" Nowitzki said.

Little Nelson also looked at Chen Zhi with interest: "It's not a good choice for a small person to hit a big one with his back." However, with the advantage of strength, Chen can easily press under the basket! ”

Chen Zhi took control of the ball and pushed to the basket twice, and Jonathan was immediately knocked back two small steps, and he had to lean his center of gravity forward more in order to counter Chen.

Chen Zhi hit Jonathan sideways again, Jonathan snorted and retreated, and immediately defended again.

Chen Zhi took a step back with his left foot and leaned back directly, and his right leg was placed sideways to open up space, which was exactly the same as Nowitzki's action rhythm just now, and the golden rooster was independent!

Seeing this, Jonathan tried his best to block, but even if it was ten centimeters higher, his arm span had an advantage, and after being hit backwards by Chen Zhi, it was too late to pounce again, Chen Zhi twisted his body, and with a flick of his wrist, the ball was already out of his hand, and the arc was not as high as that of the Norwegian driver, but the shot was faster, and the basketball jumped on the basket and fell into the net.

"Oh! Is this a trick I just learned! Seeing this, Nowitzki couldn't help but say, "This kid is very capable of learning!" It's just why I watched him do this action so ugly! ”

"Dirk, you know, sometimes you look ugly when you do this!" Little Nelson dismantled the platform.

"Huh? Yes! Nowitzki laughed, "I want to coach him to make his movements as picturesque as I am!" Whatever, it's a good move to score! There's no need for every ball to be as beautiful as Kobe! ”

"Cuban, let's have him play a full-court game with these players, we need to see how he does on the team." Carlisle said suddenly to Cuban.

Carlisle was very satisfied with Chen Zhi's performance in the confrontation with Jonathan Gibson, showing a variety of offensive means on the offensive end, and the most praised thing about Carlisle was that Chen Zhi only allowed the opponent to successfully complete the score once on the defensive end, and his defensive ability was obviously not paid enough attention in the scouting report.

Height is an advantage, strength is also an advantage, and when a smaller player has enough strength, he can also contribute enough strength on the defensive end.

Carlisle was very sure of this.

Because in the season when she led the Mavericks to win the championship in 2011, she used Barria, the shortest on the team, to defend James in the low post, and it worked very well.

It's because Barria is not tall enough, but he is very strong, and he has enough hard work on the defensive end to be able to cause trouble for James, and of course, there is also a point, James' low-post skills are rough enough at that time. For example, let Barria defend Kobe Bryant and Anthony's low-post offensive kaleidoscope, Carlisle would never dare.

Carlisle doesn't like small players, but likes the hard work of those small players who want to get a foothold in the NBA, and if he can bring Thomas Jr. down the Mavericks, Carlisle must be very happy, but the Mavericks have not been able to get his capital from the Celtics.

Cuban wanted to discuss signing after Chen showed an amazing level of projection, and when Chen singled out Jonathan, Cuban felt like he had to increase the contract amount.

But when Chen Zhi and the summer league team began to practice together, Cuban knew that he had thought about it simply, this draft loss was far from as simple as he imagined, it was simply a dragon into the sea, one by one passing feints and sudden projections, his threat was infinitely magnified, and after a few rounds, the blue team had silently revolved around him as the core for offense and defense! And the opponent seems to have little resistance under Chen Zhi's scoring and scheduling.

Watching Chen Zhi shine on the court, and then looking at the difference between the two sides, Cuban feels that there may be another accident in the recruitment work this offseason, and he has to replan with Rick and Downey.
