The game was as expected by the media, and the scene was extremely hot, especially the Hornets' scoring guard Mason, power forward West, and center Chandler, who were particularly excited. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I have to say that the overall strength of the Hornets has improved very quickly since they got the talented guard Paul. Around 07 and 08, he even occupied the first place in the West for a time, and in those two years, Paul's call to be elected MVP of the regular season was also very high.

The Hornets' offense basically relies on Paul to initiate, if you play blocking and dismantling, there is a center Chandler on the inside who can relay in the air, a power forward West who can shoot in the middle range, and a small forward Peja who can shoot three-pointers on the outside; If you play positional, West and Mason are both good players in the low post, and there are a lot of options for attacking.

Therefore, in the first quarter, although the overall strength of the Rockets was superior and the Rockets had two superstars, the Rockets did not have any advantage in terms of the field or the score.

Even, the two superstars of the Rockets, Yao Ming, were given special care by Chandler and West, while Maddie was miserable by Mason's small moves and rough moves. Finally, after preparing to dunk after a Maddie breakaway, but was maliciously pulled down by Mason behind him, Van Gundy waved his hand and was ready to go up.

Given Maddie's glass man attributes, and the fact that this game is not a finals, Van Gundy has no reason to put Maddie on the court to fight his opponent. The overall momentum of the Rockets this year is very good, and if Maddie is injured because of this little thing, it will be more than worth the loss for Van Gundy.

……

Zhang Chu replaced Maddie, who limped to the bench on the sidelines, supported by his teammates, and the team doctor wanted to give him a simple examination.

Seeing Zhang Chu replacing Maddie and slowly walking towards him, Mason was not angry, but shook his head while laughing and said, "Yo, boy, you have a kind, you are going to play a point guard, to defend me, right?" ”

"As you wish!" Zhang Chu looked at Mason, and subconsciously clenched his fists with both hands, he knew that today's scene was a little difficult to stop, and the opposite person was the biggest thorn in the Hornets, what would happen between himself and him next, no one could predict...... If there is a conflict and a fight breaks out, should I be able to defeat the other party? Zhang Chu also muttered a little in his heart.

Speaking of which, Zhang Chu is a righteous and well-behaved otaku in his bones, he was bored at home every day in his last life, and rarely mixed in society, you have to say, a fight, a brawl or something, although he is also a gentleman, he will not be afraid of anything, but he is definitely not very experienced.

MD, Zhang Chu scolded in a low voice in his heart, come on, if you want to be ruthless, let's be ruthless, if you want to fight, you will fight! I don't believe in evil yet. Compared with Mason, he is young and strong, and he is definitely better than the other party in terms of strength, Zhang Chu really doesn't believe what he can lose.

Mason's full name is Desmond Mason, born in 1977, participated in the NBA draft in the summer of 2000, has strong physical fitness, amazing bounce, and extremely aggressive style of play, participated in the NBA dunk contest in his rookie season, and won the slam dunk contest championship that year. His overall strength is 71, and his scoring mainly relies on the small hook hand of God in the low post singles, as well as the dunk after the break. But as an outside player, the three-point shooting percentage is relatively poor, and the mid-range shooting rate is not high.

And Zhang Chu's current comprehensive strength happens to be 71, that is to say, even if he does not rely on the anti-heaven skill of mind control, Zhang Chu's comprehensive strength is on par with Mason. Zhang Chu's main strength is in the physical aspect, the defensive aspect is average, and the offensive aspect is relatively poor.

Zhang Chu: 2.02 meters tall, 98KG in weight, 2.18 meters in reach, and 71 in comprehensive strength.

Physically:

Strength: 83

Bounce power: 82

Speed: 80

Explosiveness: 75

Three-pointers: 35

Free throws: 60

Inside Scoring Ability: 20

Dunk: 35

Dribble: 30

Passing: 20

Offensive awareness: 20

Key Ball: 30

The maximum value for all data is 99.

It can be seen from Zhang Chu's current data that his physical data is already in the middle of the NBA, and it is relatively comprehensive, all above 70, and there are no shortcomings in physical hard conditions.

The pure defensive ability can only barely be said to have reached the NBA bench level, but the pure offensive ability is not up to the NBA level, and his usual defense and offense still mainly rely on the skills of mind ball control to make up for it.

Compared with Mason, Zhang Chu is far better than Mason's 65 in strength, and it is faster than 20 points, but in terms of bounce power, Mason's 96 is also better than Zhang Chu's 82 more than ten points.

……

Due to the scorching score between the two sides at the moment, the Rockets did not fall behind by more than 10 points, therefore, Zhang Chu's mind ball control skills were not triggered, and he could only rely on his true strength to compete with Mason.

Chandler and Paul made a blocking and dismantling cooperation, Paul made a wonderful pass, sent the ball to Chandler's hands, faced with an easy shooting opportunity, Chandler did not shoot, but passed the basketball to Mason on the outside: "Come on, man, score a goal, give that Chinese rookie some color." ”

"Yes, that's it, it's up to you, Mason!" Next to the West also expresses the same meaning. There were so many people in the Rocket team just now, and they were provoked by the Hornets, and no one dared to speak out, just this Chinese rookie shouted the loudest, and now that he is on the court, of course he has to target him.

Paul smiled helplessly, the NBA is like this, full of this kind of confrontational culture, he and Peja and others all opened up space, leaving Mason on the outside and singles Zhang Chu.

As mentioned earlier, Mason's outside shooting ability is not strong, and he is 1.96 meters tall, 6 cm shorter than Zhang Chu, his height and arm span are not dominant, and there is not much chance of pulling out on the outside, so Mason chose to break through with the first shot.

As a veteran who is nearly 30 years old and has been in the league for seven years, Mason's experience on the field is obviously incomparable to Zhang Chu. He took a few cross-steps, shook off Zhang Chu's defensive center of gravity, and then quickly killed inside.

However, Zhang Chu's reaction was also very fast, his speed and pace were very flexible, he adjusted his center of gravity in time, and he stuck to it tightly, and the two ran to the basket entangled.

During the entanglement, Mason dribbled the ball with one hand and pushed Zhang Chu's body with the other, making a look of protecting the ball, and secretly took advantage of the moment when the referee's vision was blocked, but smashed Zhang Chu's lower abdomen with an elbow.

A sharp pain came, which immediately affected Zhang Chu's footsteps, and Mason took the opportunity to get rid of Zhang Chu's tearing, killed under the basket, and came to a back dunk. Although he is older, the ability of the former slam dunk king is still there.

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie!" Mason, who successfully dunked, deliberately ran to Zhang Chu and said a few words triumphantly after falling from the basket.
