Chapter 16 The Dawn of the Dawn
There was only one preseason game scheduled for the NBA today, so even though the game was unimportant and unnoticed, ESPN's two gold medal commentators, Barkley and Smith, sat on the sidelines. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Barkley almost couldn't help but yawn: "The Rockets are currently trailing by 11 points, 15:26. Against the Bobcats, who have the lowest record in the league, the Rockets are actually 11 points behind, although Yao Ming and Maddy are not there, but they can't say anything about a team that aims to win the championship? ”
Smith nodded and agreed: "Yes, for example, the Spurs, even if Duncan and Parker don't play, the Spurs will definitely not fall behind by more than 10 points in the first quarter when they come to play the Bobcats today." Therefore, it is not for nothing that the Spurs have won consecutive championships, and the Rockets have not even been able to pass the first round of the playoffs. ”
Ma Fei, a reporter from "Basketball World" on the sidelines, shook his head secretly, and today for Zhang Chu, he deliberately ran all the way to Charlotte. As a result, after playing for a few minutes, Zhang Chu didn't even touch the ball skin.
When attacking, no one passes the ball to his teammates, he is a rookie, and this treatment is normal. When defending, the Bobcats had all the ball in Morrison's hands, and they made three consecutive shots, and the ball went in, and they didn't even leave a chance for Zhang Chu to grab a rebound.
One is a flower show, and the other is a rookie at the end of the second round, and the gap between them is really not a star and a half.
"Coach, I'm going to defend Morrison in the second quarter!" Zhang Chu wiped his sweat and took the initiative to ask for help. Yao Ming secretly confessed to him, as a rookie, he must perform well in the preseason, otherwise his fate may not be stable, and the Rockets can not sign with him, or send themselves to the development league or something...... Zhang Chu is not a showy person, but he is also unambiguous about his fate.
He took the initiative to ask for a change in Morrison, not recklessly, but after careful consideration. First of all, his current comprehensive strength has reached more than 65, and in the NBALIVE2006, he vaguely remembers that Morrison's comprehensive strength is only a little more than 70, which is not much different from himself.
Secondly, and the most critical and important thing, he has the anti-heaven skill of intentionally controlling the ball, not to mention that his Morrison's comprehensive strength is more than 70, even if it is higher, Zhang Chu is confident and capable of fighting.
Again, Morrison's offensive ability is strong, but he pays too much attention to outside shooting, and his pace is slow, the bounce is poor, and the start speed is slow---- which is the judgment unanimously given by various scouts during the draft, not Zhang Chu's own blind guess. And slow footsteps, slow speed, poor bounce, like to shoot on the outside, Zhang Chu is the most fond of defensive players.
"You're here to defend Morrison?" Van Gundy glanced at Zhang Chu, touched his smooth baldness, and thought.
Yao Ming didn't come today, but the translator, Brother Terry, came, so Zhang Chu's communication with others was still no problem.
"Okay, Novak, you change to the position of big forward, Zhang Chu, you come to play small forward and defend Morrison!" The interval was only a minute, and Van Gundy didn't have much to think about.
Originally, he didn't believe that Zhang Chu could limit Morrison, the latter was a Tanhua show, and he almost didn't become the champion, and Jordan also gave him a high evaluation, how can it be compared to you as a rookie at the end of the second round.
However, the preseason is supposed to observe the newcomers, train the newcomers, try more, and it doesn't matter if you lose anyway.
Section II.
Familiar information flashed through Zhang Chu's mind again: "The score on the field is more than 10 points behind, and the host's special skill 'Mind Control' is triggered!" ”
The Bobcats are still Morrison's main offense, he stood outside the three-point line with the ball, looked at Zhang Chu who was defending him opposite, and changed the defense? But there was no expression on his face.
Morrison made a shooting feint, Zhang Chu was unmoved, at this distance, as long as you dare to shoot, I dare to guarantee that you will not score!
Morrison made another probe step, Zhang Chu was still unmoved, Morrison's starting speed was not fast, and his speed reached 70, and he did not suffer a loss against Morrison.
Seeing that Zhang Chu's defensive position was very stable, Morrison was not surprised, but began to dribble according to his own offensive rhythm, he first rushed the ball to the left, and then quickly ran to the right, and Zhang Chu followed closely.
The two struggled to the free-throw line, and Murray bobbed left and right, and then, began to jump up to shoot from mid-range, and it was in this position that he used the same offensive style against Novak, scoring three in a row.
However, this time, his defender is Zhang Chu.
Since he is still not very familiar with Morrison's shooting rhythm, Zhang Chu took the safest method---- I just don't jump up, shoot if you like to shoot, I just use one move, mind control the ball to interfere with your shot!"
Sure enough, Morrison shook twice, saw that Zhang Chu didn't react, jumped up and shot, and Zhang Chu was still standing stupidly in front of him, Morrison showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his front was open at the moment. When Novak was defending himself just now, he jumped up and interfered with his vision, and this Chinese kid, hehe......
The shot is very soft, the shooting feels good, judging by Morrison's feeling of playing for so many years, this goal will undoubtedly be scored.
Barkley on the sidelines couldn't help but hold his head with his hands: "This Chinese kid is so bad at defense, people say that Maddie of the Rockets likes to defend with his eyes and eyes, which is a bit exaggerated...... Today, let's take a look at what it means to really defend with your eyes...... The Chinese kid is a perfect illustration of ......"
"That's right!" Smith said, "Morrison is a tanhuaxiu, Renovak is the 32nd pick, it's normal to not be able to prevent Morrison, and this player in China can't even compare to Novak, Novak won't let Morrison get such a comfortable shooting opportunity...... Ah, didn't get in! Didn't even throw in? Morrison's luck is too bad......"
Barkley and Smith were boasting about Morrison, but the latter didn't put it in, which suddenly made the old faces of the two a little unbearable.
What the? Rebounding, the Chinese kid actually grabbed the rebound? What made the old faces of the two even more unbearable was that Zhang Chu actually rushed to get this rebound among the interior players on both sides.
It turned out that the inside line of both sides thought that Morrison's goal was undoubtedly a must-score, and they were not very prepared to grab it, while Zhang Chu clearly knew that this goal would definitely not be scored, and it was interfered with by himself a little harder, and the rebounding ball should bounce farther. With mental arithmetic or unintentional, it is not surprising that Zhang Chu grabbed this rebound.
"Attack!" Zhang Chu did not hesitate after grabbing the rebound, and immediately passed it to guard Sula, and then ran to the front court quickly.
The field changed rapidly, although Morrison didn't score this goal, but no one paid attention to it, and they all ran to the front court quickly.
"Here, give me the ball!" Zhang Chu stood near the free throw line and reached out to Sula for the ball. Despite the language barrier, everyone can understand his gesture of asking for the ball.
