Chapter Twenty-Four: Victory in the First Battle

Zhang Chu received the ball, and Delong pushed him hard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info You have to say that Delon's strength is definitely one of the best among the point guards in the entire NBA league, his speed is not fast, but he can always crush the opponent's point guard with his strong body. However, he met Zhang Chu this time, and he was deflated in terms of strength.

You must know that Zhang Chu is living in the inside, no matter how strong Delong is, he can't compare to the strength of the inside players, so he didn't push Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu jumped directly on Delong's head, I am taller than you, the bounce is better than yours, and the arm span is longer than yours, why can't I pull it out on your head?

The basketball drew a beautiful arc from Zhang Chu's hand, and under the slight correction of Zhang Chu's mind to control the ball, it fell steadily into the basket, and it was still a hollow net......

"Good shot!" This time, not only Van Gundy was clapping, but even Yao Ming stood up, raised his hands above his head, and applauded to cheer Zhang Chu.

……

Four rounds in a row! Boozer, who received DeLong's pass after the block, didn't shoot, while Zhang Chu either pulled out, or made a stop-and-go jump shot, or used a feint to deceive DeLong and then shoot, and all four goals were scored anyway. The Rockets chased 8 points in a row, and the difference was only 2 points!

The Jazz coach stood up, his face a little solemn. Throughout the game, Van Gundy was standing on the sidelines and walking around, like ants on a hot pan; Sloan, on the other hand, has been sitting firmly in Diaoyutai and is confident. However, at this time, he couldn't sit still, and was ready to call a timeout if the Jazz offense didn't score any more points in the next round.

In this round, the Jazz team is still blocking and dismantling, and before the coach does not signal a change of tactics, the Jazz players are still resolutely implementing the established tactics. But this time, Hayes suddenly exploded in character, and when he was defending Delon, he slapped the ball in the latter's hand, and Hayes used more force, and the basketball rolled directly to the front court.

At this moment, the first two players on both sides are Zhang Chu of the Rockets and Oku of the Jazz. Zhang Chu's speed is very fast, at least faster than the opponent's center Oku, who is too big and has a much slower pace.

In the front court, Zhang Chu picked up the basketball that Hayes swatted, and there was no one in front of him......

Zhang Chu's bounce is 78, this value cannot be compared with Kobe, Maddie and others, but it is definitely very good, so a beautiful dunk was born.

The basket groaned in pain, and after Zhang Chu fell, he raised his right hand high, clenched his fist and waved, this was his first official game in the NBA, it was the first dunk of his NBA career, and it was his 10th point of the game......

The score is tied! The Rockets relied on this batch of substitutes to play a wave of 10:0 small climax! At this point, there were four minutes left in the game.

……

In the end, the Rockets won the Jazz 98-92 in this game. After Zhang Chu's dunk, the Jazz called a timeout and changed tactics, while the Rockets were once again on the full main lineup, Yao Ming and Maddie were almost rested, and Zhang Chu did not play again. As a substitute, he played nearly 11 minutes in this game, which is a lot of substitutes, and Van Gundy still couldn't get rid of his conservative philosophy, replaced Zhang Chu, and replaced the main force.

However, fortunately, the Jazz team has changed their tactics and no longer plays blocking and dismantling, and the Jazz no longer play blocking and dismantling, and the Rockets are really not afraid of him. In the last few minutes, Yao Ming Medici came out of his power and won the Jazz team smoothly.

At the end of the game, Yao Ming scored 28 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block, and was named the best player of the game. Maddy had 25 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and had a good performance.

Zhang Chu played 11 minutes and got 10 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal, including 5 shots from the field, with a shooting rate of 100%. That's a great statistic for a rookie, not to mention that he's just a rookie at the end of the second round.

The Rockets won, the fans were happy, and when Zhang Chu walked off the court, the fans applauded, and even one fan, the black strong man wearing the No. 1 jersey, ran to Zhang Chu and asked him for an autograph.

"Hey, hello, my name is Tom! Man, what a nice job today, especially with that block, it's so relieving, I declare, I'm your fan from now on. In the next game, I won't wear Maddy's No. 1 shirt and I'll wear your No. 7 shirt instead. Let's sign my name first......"

The black strong man who called himself Tom was also more than 1.9 meters tall and very muscular, but he spoke too fast, and Zhang Chu didn't understand a word, but he was also a fan of the Rockets, and he said good things, so he could only repeat awkwardly: "Thankyou!" ”

At the press conference after the game, Zhang Chu, as a rookie, was of course not eligible to participate, and the Rockets were head coaches Van Gundy, Morey, and the team's two cores, Yao Ming and Maddy, attended the press conference.

However, despite Zhang Chu's non-participation, both Van Gundy and Morey praised his performance today. His stats were good, but both Morey and Van Gundy saw something deeper---- that as long as Zhang Chu was on the court, he kept a clean sheet against Millsap and was very successful in limiting Boozer's scoring, forcing the Jazz to switch tactics...... These things can't be directly reflected in the data, but these things can be said to be a key point for the Rockets to win today.

However, the players of the Jazz team were very unconvinced, at the post-game press conference, the two core Delon and Boozer both said cruelly, today is just a bad feel, and the rookie feeling of the Rockets is too good, that's all, losing, but today the goddess of luck is on the side of the Rockets, but luck cannot last forever, and the next time you meet the Rockets, you will definitely take revenge.

Today, not only the local fans in Houston are very happy, but also the fans in China are also very happy, CCTV5's SMS platform will be about to burst, the host of the live broadcast room, Yu Lu, is reading the fans' messages: "Okay, audience friends, look at this message from fans and friends---- our Chinese fans have always loved and hated the Rockets, they love that there are Chinese players in the team, and they hate that the Rockets are always not angry, and they drop the chain at critical moments, especially in the third quarter, they are always reversed by others, and they are worried about it." The Rockets performed well today, and it seems that the new year and new atmosphere will make the Rockets this season look good......"

"Well, that's a very good point." Zhang Liang, the partner next to him, also took over the topic, "Today, the Rockets won the game, and our Chinese players in the team also played very well, needless to say, Yao Ming, 28 points and 9 rebounds, which is completely All-Star level data." Another Chinese player, Zhang Chu, played an official NBA game for the first time, and he was not stage frightened at all, playing 11 minutes and handing over an excellent report card of 10 points and 5 rebounds in a limited time...... Great, this is exactly what our fans and friends want to see the most---- the Rockets win, our players are doing well, I hope Yao Ming and Zhang Chu will have even better performances in future games." ”

No, Baidu post bar, rocket bar, Yao Ming bar and other lively will not be mentioned, even the newly built Zhang Chu bar will be very lively, and the number of members will continue to soar.

"How many points do you think Zhang Chu can score in the game today?" This post will also be refreshed rapidly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blackened Zhang Chu before, I shouldn't have said that he couldn't play, and he scored 0 points." Many netizens have left messages, "I haven't watched Zhang Chu's game before, I watched it for the first time today, it's really good, whether it's against Millsap or against Boozer, it's very tough, especially the last dunk, it's so handsome, I declare, from now on, I'm a fan of Zhang Chu, whoever of you hacks Zhang Chu, I'll be anxious with whoever ......"
