Chapter Forty-Eight: Perfect Performance
"Incredible, incredible...... scout Simone's psyche has slowly begun to undergo some subtle changes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this season's Rockets, Yao Ming is at the center position, Swift is at power forward, Maddy is at small forward, Anderson is at scoring guard, and Alston is at playmaking guard. The players in these five positions, count them carefully, none of them defend well, and those with strong defensive ability, whether it is Yao Ming or Maddie, they are strong in attack and weak in defense, and the other few people are weak in attack and weak in defense.
Otherwise, history would not have been at the end of this season, in the summer of 2006, when the Rockets traded a new draft pick, Rudy Gay, plus power forward Swift, to the Grizzlies in exchange for Battier...... There are two things that the Rockets need most in their current lineup: one is defense, the other is three-point, and Battier has it all, so the Rockets traded, although at that time this deal, everyone has always said that the Rockets suffered a loss, after all, Rudy Gay's development achievements were far above Battier, but, judging from the needs of the Rockets at that time, the decision of the Rockets' top management was correct.
Don't?
After seeing Zhang Chu's performance, Simone's eyes became brighter and brighter...... Especially when I saw that Zhang Chu deduced Doug's basketball, he quickly attacked the frontcourt, shot directly outside the three-point line, and the ball brushed the net into the net, and then chased three points! I've chased 13 points in a row!
The audience was boiling, the DJ was loud, and the host mobilized the voices of the audience, loudly cheering for Huayang United and Zhang Chu, who was the most focused performance!
And Simone's heart is also a little excited, this Zhang Chu's performance is simply tailored for the current Rockets, there is defense, there are three points, if you can organize your teammates on the court and connect the team's offense, it will be even more perfect.
The Rockets don't defend well, so they are in dire need of a defensive giant; Yao Ming and Maddie are often caught in the opponent's bag, so there is an urgent lack of a player who can shoot three-pointers from the outside, which involves the opponent's defensive attention...... Simone watched the game on the court, and on the other hand, his mind returned to the Rockets' current roster.
……
Next, UConn's point guard John didn't choose to trust Doug anymore, but asked for a cover and made a layup himself. On the side of Huayang United, it is the main attack on Zhang Chu, and the others are all pulled away.
And Zhang Chu is to shoot three-pointers, or use feints to trick Doug, and then make a pull-up jump shot. And the teammates of Kangda, due to the pride in their hearts, it is impossible to say that it is what kind of treatment is it to use two people to cover Zhang Chu, that is the treatment of superstars......
Therefore, Kangda's side just didn't cover it, it used Doug to defend Zhang Chu alone, and Doug tried his best, but he just couldn't prevent it. In the face of a person with a super high long-range shooting rate, how do you defend it, you don't jump, he shoots directly, you jump up, but he is a feint......
That's it, Kangda and Huayang United, one of you and one of me, began to soar, and the audience shouted for it, and it was enjoyable to watch......
But Rush, the head coach of UCN, gradually frowned. Yes, you are one, I am one, but most of Kang Dajin's are two-point shots, while Zhang Chujin's is mostly three-point shots, this round, people will score one more point, and ten rounds will score 10 more points......
Sure enough, at the end of the third quarter, Huayang United was still 10 points behind, from 30 points behind to 10 points behind, it only took one quarter.
If the third quarter is an offensive battle, then the fourth quarter is a defensive battle. The managers of both sides have made targeted arrangements according to the situation on the field.
The strategy of Huayang United is: Whoever has a good hand in Kangda, I will use Zhang Chu to defend whom, and once Zhang Chu defends whom, he will basically freeze whom.
Kangda's strategy is to use a player with fast speed, good strength, and good at close defense to defend Zhang Chu, only looking at people, not the ball.
Kangda's head coach Rush assigned only one task to the defender---- that is, to "hold" Zhang Chu in his arms at all times, not to let Zhang Chu leave him a step away, that is, not to let Zhang Chu receive the ball...... Wherever you go, I'll go up, you can't catch the ball, I see how you attack, you don't even have the ball, what kind of hit rate do you talk about......
……
I have to say that these two head coaches have a certain level, and the use of these two tricks directly makes the situation on the field into a stalemate.
Zhang Chu successfully limited the opponent, but put too much energy on defense, coupled with the opponent's defensive players who followed him like a shadow when attacking, Zhang Chu's physical strength gradually declined, and the offensive efficiency also declined.
Isn't it, the offense wins the crowd, but the defense wins...... Kangda's head coach Rush nodded with satisfaction, the situation on the field is a little ugly now, but just like this until the end, the victory will definitely be his own.
At the last moment, Zhang Chu was desperate, gritted his teeth and shook off the opponent's close defense, and scored two more three-pointers in a row......
At the last minute, in the face of the opponent's hands, Zhang Chu had to pass the ball, but neither Zhou Qi nor Lin Feng seized the opportunity.
In the end, Kang Da won the game with a difficult 70-65 victory, Zhang Chu scored 40 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals, and 4 blocks. One person's score accounts for more than half of the team's total scores, and the scores, steals, and blocks are all the highest in the game......
When the host reported such data, the audience was boiling, although the game was lost, but Zhang Chu's data and performance were worthy of the most dazzling and eye-catching one in the audience, and everyone seemed to see another star of hope rising. After all, the opponent is a strong team in the NCCA of the United States, and with such a performance, I believe that his future is limitless.
After the game, Simone, the scout of the Rockets, under the leadership of Coach Zhang Li, found Zhang Chu for the first time.
"Mr. Zhang Chu, are you interested in playing in the NBA?" Simone got straight to the point.
Simone said, and Liu Qingxue whispered in Zhang Chu's ear to help him translate.
"Of course I do!" Hearing Simone's news, Zhang Chu's heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Okay. I have recorded your performance on the court in detail, and next, I will submit the information to the decision-making level of our Rockets, and if the senior management of the team is interested in you, I will notify you as soon as possible. ”
Then, the two left each other's email addresses, and Simone and Liu Qingxue left each other's mobile phone numbers, because Liu Qingxue is from the School of Foreign Languages, and there is no problem with simple English conversations, if there is any news, Liu Qingxue can relay it on his behalf.
PS: According to everyone's opinions, the pace of the protagonist's entry into the NBA has been accelerated.
