At the North Shore Garden Arena, the Celtics at home are still battling the Mavericks.

The Mavericks with or without Chen Zhi are indeed two teams of completely different levels, and this is not just because Chen Zhi has a super high scoring efficiency.

In fact, after Chen Zhi appeared in the second quarter, although he scored consecutive points, he only made 3 of 6 three-pointers.

What made the Mavericks change dramatically was the confidence that Chen Zhi brought to his teammates after he appeared on the court, and Chen Zhi's tandem with the whole team's offense, of course, Chen Zhi's containment on the offensive end was the most important factor.

As long as Chen Zhi is on the court, the Celtics players, especially those who pay attention to the help defense inside, have to focus more on supplementing the defense, Chen Zhi's offense is too sharp, under his control, the Mavericks role players are extremely efficient in this quarter of the game, and Powell, who was beaten by Horford before, shot 6 of 6 and scored 12 points in a single quarter.

Rather than 6 shots and 6 shots, it's better to say 6 dunks and 6 hits, and after blocking and dismantling, cut inside and dunk under the basket, is there a simpler and easier job than eating cakes?

Although Horford is far from being a player that Powell can match, Powell, who is affectionately called "Little Leopard" by Mavericks fans, is really much faster than Horford.

Powell's work is the same as Capela of the Houston Rockets, Capela only eats the cake sent by Harden, and Powell only scores the ball sent by Chen Zhi under the basket. And usually, after the center blocks and dismantles in the high position, the defense under the basket is in an empty state, and at most the small players in the corner come to help defend, and it is not difficult to put the ball into the basket at this time.

This kind of work after blocking and dismantling, on the premise of not paying attention to the quality of blocking and dismantling, as long as the pace is fast enough, basically those young center players in the NBA can do it, and the difference lies in whether the attitude is positive and diligent, which is also the reason why the Rockets sent Howard away and let Capela take the position, and the Rockets used Capela as a bargain to do these jobs.

Powell was able to play this dazzling statistic, and most of the credit is naturally attributed to Chen Zhi, a qualified pick-and-roll ball carrier is always more important than the one that is the wall, just like Harden is to the Rockets, Paul is to the Clippers, they are the foundation of the team.

The halftime passed quickly, and the second half of the game seemed to be a replica of the first half of the game, with the Mavericks first maintaining a slight lead under the leadership of Chen Zhi, and soon fell into a passive state after Chen Zhi left the game, and was overtaken by the Celtics.

However, Barnes was in a heroic state in the third quarter, showing the Hawks' dry pull style, pulling three times in a row on top of Smart's head, and several role players who were fed by Chen to feel better than in the first half, and Powell, a player who rarely shoots threes, even threw in a three-pointer at the end of the 24-second timer. Although the Mavericks fell into passivity at the end of the break, they only had an eight-point gap with the Celtics.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Chen Zhi still did not play, and when there were 8 minutes left before the end of the game, Coach Carlisle finally waved his hand, and Chen Zhi appeared on the court again.

Celtics coach Stevens looked at Chen Dao, who ran onto the court in small steps, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Although several outside players of the Celtics did work the defensive end, often fighting with Chen Zhi physically to consume his physical strength, but looking at Chen's current state, how can he look the slightest tired, as if the game has just begun.

There are 8 minutes left in the game, and the difference is less than 10 points, although Coach Stevens does not want to see this happen, but he does feel that the Celtics have probably lost this game.

Because Chen Zhi is too comprehensive as a player, and every offensive method is the top level of the NBA, and in terms of projection and organization, it is the top existence.

The fact that these gifts were present in one person at the same time made Stevens even a little skeptical that God really treated everyone fairly.

The thin body is the death hole of Nash, the son of the wind, the indulgent and frivolous personality is the fatal wound of the magician, the big shark O'Neal has slashing tactics that can be slightly restricted, and the black Mamba Kobe and the little emperor James, the two historical players who have achieved a small dynasty, have certain shortcomings in projection, especially three-point projection.

And now this Chen Dao, where are his shortcomings? Coach Stevens found that he really couldn't find it now, and this seemingly overnight talent no longer had obvious shortcomings, especially after his original height of 175 cm, which made all NBA management disdain, reached the average level of today's NBA point guard.

Such a player, in the NBA, in addition to physical fitness and feel, is really an inexplicable existence.

At the very least, Coach Stevens feels like he really can't find more ways to beat Chen Zhi now, because with the talent of the Celtics, it is far from enough to compare with the Warriors and not be able to wear Chen Zhi out with a strong enough offense while maintaining a strong defense like the Warriors.

The most fatal point is that Coach Stevens can only describe the ability to block and dismantle tonight, perfect!

The main offensive means of Thomas Jr., the core of the Celtics' offense, is to block and dismantle, and he was almost completely blocked by Chen on the offensive end, which made the Celtics' offensive firepower drop by a level.

The Warriors' offense does not rely on too many pick-and-rolls, and there is far more than one player who can play the role of blocking and pick-and-roll ball carriers, and Curry's perverted shooting speed is almost impossible to defend effectively. As long as Curry is good enough, there is no upper limit to the Warriors' offensive firepower, which is why the Warriors can beat the Mavericks.

However, to Coach Stevens' surprise, after Chen came on the court, this game was not as he predicted, and the Mavericks would beat the Celtics in a hurry.

Not only did Coach Stevens not expect this, but even Chen Zhi, who was full of confidence, was also unexpected.

After Chen Zhi came on the court, not only did he not become the advantage of the Mavericks, but even became a cancer of the Mavericks.

Chen Zhi made a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Bogut on the court, Smart squeezed through the first alertly, so that Bogut did not have a good blocking effect this time, and after Bogut dismantled to the basket, there was a Celtics substitute center Olynyk to defend, and other teammates did not have a good chance, Chen Zhi chose to shoot by himself.

Stepping back halfway, a set of moves flowed, seeing Smart being successfully thrown off a position by himself, and then retreated to Chen Zhi, who was outside the three-point line, to directly pull out 3 points.

Smart was annoyed, but was pleasantly surprised to find that Chen had hit the iron with this goal!

And this shot was just the beginning, and the next five shots, whether it was a three-point shot or a pull-up shot, all ended in iron.

Coach Stevens' eyes couldn't help but light up, this is incredible!

Chen Zhi has studied all the game videos of the previous nine games, and the root of Chen Zhi's successive high scores is the feeling of going against the sky, and it is rare to miss two consecutive shots, let alone more than three times in a row.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi has missed six consecutive shots, although his ability to connect the whole team is still there, but the Celtics at least have the possibility of winning.

The young marshal stood up with his arms folded, and watched the court walk around the sidelines, and the light of hope clearly flashed in his eyes that were originally a little desperate.

Carlisle watched Chen Zhi from the sidelines, twitched his nose hard, and took a deep breath, he watched Chen Zhi train all day, and naturally knew how rare this situation was for Chen Zhi.

After thinking for a moment, Carlisle dismissed his intention of calling a timeout, believing that Chen would find a solution on the court.

After striking iron six times in a row, Chen Zhi finally accepted this fact, he suddenly "lost the power", he felt that there was no problem with those shots, but in the end, none of them went into the basket.

This situation is actually not uncommon, many players have experienced this power outage, and even the entire game has been in this state of power outage, the most famous of which is the NBA crotch dribble godfather Tim Hardaway, who moved the world with 17 0, the most in the history of the NBA!

Gentleman Sword Ray Allen, Demihuman Demigod Carter, and Turtle Westbrook all have an embarrassing record of 13-0.

Chen Zhi lost all six shots in a single quarter, but the fans did not point the finger at Chen Zhi, but at the innocent Carlisle sitting on the bench.

"Brain dead card, for no reason to limit Chen's playing time, the hand feels cold!"

"The only thing that can prevent Chen is the brain-dead card!"

Without Chen's ungodly outside touch, the Mavericks would not have the greatest advantage against the Celtics.

"Shoot, let you go!" Smart faced Chen Dao, who was attacking with the ball again, and began trash talk.

Smart, who was first shot by Chen to break through and then scored by Barnes on his head in a row, finally felt much more comfortable and the defensive pressure was much less.

In the face of Smart's provocation, Chen Zhi had no impulsiveness, during the period when he missed one after another just now, the Celtics were very efficient, and the difference between the two teams was about to be tied.

Chen Zhi just looked at Smart and said, "If I go to the right, can you block it?" ”

There was confidence in the flat voice, which made Smart smell a hint of danger in it, and sure enough, he found that after Chen finished speaking, he was about to break through, and Smart immediately moved to his left to block the breakthrough route in advance.

Chen Zhi changed direction quickly after a false shake, handed the ball to his left hand, and at the same time stepped directly to Smart's right side with his right foot, and instantly crossed steps to complete the breakthrough.

Smart saw that he had been fooled, and immediately turned to chase after him, obviously it was too late, but Olynyk had already put aside Powell to help defend to the basket.

Chen Zhi naturally noticed Olynyk's defense, but without the slightest hesitation, he continued to rush to the basket and jumped directly with the ball!

Olynyk jumped up from the side and headed his right arm towards Chen's left-hand block.

In the eyes of Chen Zhi in mid-air, Olynyk's movements were far from being as fast as the audience seemed to be, at least giving Chen Zhi some time to react.

In the middle of flying, he handed the basketball in his left hand to his right hand, and the right hand holding the ball seemed to suddenly become longer by a section, and smashed the ball directly into the basket through Olynyk!

Celtics fans at the North Shore Garden Arena couldn't help but let out a wave of amazement, even though it was their team's opponent who completed the dunk.

"Changing hands in the air, roar!" When the Yu family, the commentary of the Tianchao Sports Station, saw this dunk, his voice immediately raised several octaves, making the fans who watched the broadcast of this game more passionate.

The referees didn't have time to marvel, and the little whistle blew quickly.

Because Olynyk's right arm that blocked the basketball hit Chen Zhi directly after blocking Chen Zhi to no avail, and the range of action was not small.

Chen Dao, who grabbed the basket with one arm to stabilize his figure, hung in the air and did not rush to land, but looked down at Olynyk who was looking up at him with cold eyes!

Olynyk quickly raised his hand to signal for a foul and walked to the free-throw line, avoiding Chen's gaze.

The camera clearly recorded Chen Zhi's cold expression just now, and that look made countless fans fascinated and domineering! Overbearing!

The buckle 2+1 plus this domineering look is simply domineering!

However, Chen Zhi showed this look, not to show his domineering, just now he clearly felt that Olynyk's hand that hit him pulled his left shoulder!

If it weren't for the right-hand dunk and then grab the basket with one arm to stabilize his body, he would definitely be pulled to the ground by Olynyk!

Olynyk is undoubtedly a very dirty guy!

James returned to the first year of the Cavaliers' Big Three with Irving and Love, and it was Olynyk who strangled with two arms in the playoffs, unloading one of Love's arms and letting Love be reimbursed for the season. Even if Olynyk claims he didn't mean to, his action captured on camera speaks for itself!

Chen Zhi just gave Olynyk a cold look and didn't make any further moves. Because even if you watch the footage now, the referees will feel that Olynyk is an instinctive move to protect himself.

Probably there is indeed this kind of ingredient in it, after all, Olynyk was knocked out of the field by himself, Chen Zhi hopes that this is really the case, looking at Olynyk with long hair and shoulder-length, Chen Zhi can't help but secretly wary of this person.

I don't know if Smart really felt cheated or if he was trying to interfere with Chen's free throws with trash talk, but after Chen Zhi walked to the free throw line, he muttered, "Go to the right but go to the left, liar, you lose!" Lost character! ”

After hitting the penalty steadily, Chen returned to the backcourt on the way back to the defense, and smiled at Smart, "I just asked if you could prevent it, and I didn't say that you want to go to the right side, are you Biao!" ”

Smart was stunned when he heard this, and thought about it, as if what Chen Zhi said at that time was indeed what he meant.
