Chapter 17: Score a new high

Zhang Chu actually took the initiative to ask for the ball, everyone was a little surprised, although because the offensive ability of the five players on the Rockets team was not good, and Van Gundy did not arrange targeted tactics, but a rookie took the initiative to ask the veteran players for the ball...... Isn't this said that the Chinese are very low-key and reserved? Van Gundy touched his smooth bald top and looked at the situation on the field. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Rockets' playmaker Sura hesitated slightly, but saw that center Hayes had no intention of asking for the ball at all, power forward Novak had no ability to take the initiative to attack, and Hyde was defended by the opponent to death...... Forget it, give this rookie a chance to attack.

Zhang Chu received the ball and observed the distance between himself and the basket, it was not far, even if the basketball parabola factor was taken into account, it was definitely within six meters, within the effective range!

Zhang Chu bowed down and took a probe step to the right front, making a breakthrough feint, and Morrison's body shifted his center of gravity slightly...... Zhang Chu quickly retracted and then shot......

Hmph, you know that you are a fake breakthrough, a real shot, can such a simple routine fool me? Morrison was disdainful, but he did not hesitate at his feet, quickly adjusted his center of gravity, and flew up to prevent Zhang Chu's shot.

"Beautifully judged, beautifully defended, and then it will be a beautiful block......" Barkley, who had some faces on his face just now, only then found the feeling of commentary, "Morrison, worthy of the scout, which scout said that he was slow, you look at this series of defenses, fast jump blocks...... Ahh......h

Barkley was excitedly commenting, showing the audience what a beautiful block would be next, however, Zhang Chu did not shoot just now, but a feint to shoot, and Morrison was deceived......

Zhang Chu deceived Morrison, quickly dribbled the ball to the inside line, and then, unguarded, he easily jumped, shot, and the basketball flew in the air......

Buckley, who was excitedly explaining the block, suddenly seemed to be stuck in the neck, his voice stopped abruptly, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Beautiful! Pretty! Ma Fei on the sidelines muttered while the shutter flashed. Well, the goal is crisp and the posture is beautiful...... Zhang Chu got 2 points and a rebound, Ma Fei not only had to shoot, but also record the data so that he could write a script.

……

Morrison changed his attack in the next round and played with his back to the single!

This knows that the technique of back-to-back singles is rarely known among scoring guards or swing guards, and in the past ten years, Jordan and Kobe Bryant have used this technology the most, and Jordan did not hand-pick Morrison for nothing......

However, Morrison really found the wrong opponent, due to the rewards brought by the system upgrade, Zhang Chu's current strength has reached 78 points, which is the strongest among his abilities. Morrison leaned his back against Zhang Chu and couldn't squeeze in at all. If you can't squeeze the opponent inside step by step, and then shoot close to the basket yourself, you lose the greatest meaning.

As a result, the more Morrison squeezed Zhang Chu, the more his position went to the outside line anyway, after all, with Zhang Chu's strength of 78 points, it would not be a loss against the general inside line, let alone against an outside player?

In the end, as a last resort, Morrison opted for a step-back jumper. Back-to-back singles plus step-back jumpers, which are standard for Jordan and Kobe. Well, the movements are very skillful, and the posture also has a hint of Jordan's.

Barkley, the commentator on the sidelines, was about to praise a few more words, but remembering the situation just now, he quickly held back again.

Sure enough, this goal didn't go in. In fact, Morrison's backward shooting only learned to resemble a shape, and it seemed to be far from it, otherwise he would have ended up in the NBA and ended up playing a game that could not play, and finally retired early.

……

In the next game, it seems that Zhang Chu has restricted Morrison well, as long as Morrison is on the field, Van Gundy will take Zhang Chu to defend him. And Zhang Chu did a good job, defensively being flawless, and offensively, he kept taking the initiative to ask for the ball.

Zhang Chu is using his mid-range shooting ability to make a fuss. As long as you give me space, I shoot and shoot super high; If you don't give me space and defend closely, I'll break through and then make a pull-up jump shot or break through the ball;

And Zhang Chu's feints Morrison had to be guarded against, several times, as soon as Zhang Chu made a shooting move, he jumped up subconsciously, who told Zhang Chu to shoot too accurately.

On Zhang Chu's offense, Morrison was difficult to restrain him, and he was almost blown up. When Zhang Chu defended, Morrison became more and more skilled, he couldn't shoot from the outside, and he wanted to play inside, but the strength of the hard squeeze was not as good as Zhang Chu, and the speed of the strong burst was not as good as Zhang Chu...... Both offensive and defensive ends were completely suppressed.

At the end of the game, Zhang Chu played 20 minutes---- which is very impressive for a rookie rookie, almost catching up with the main players. He finished with 14 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals on 7-of-10 shooting. Zhang Chu made 10 shots, three of which were interfered with by the defense, and the gap between the landing point and the basket after the shot was too large, and the system determined that it could not be corrected, so he did not score...... The system is not a panacea, and if it is really too outrageous, the system will not be able to help.

And the opposite Tanhua show Morrison, played 18 minutes, got 10 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists.

Except for the beginning of Novak's defense, Morrison scored three goals in a row and scored 6 points, which means that Morrison only scored 4 points under Zhang Chu's defense. In terms of data, Zhang Chu, the rookie at the end of the second round, is almost the same as Morrison, and even has a certain advantage.

But this is only from the point of view of the data, and from the point of view of the scene, Zhang Chu occupies an absolute advantage.

No, after the game, Van Gundy was looking at the statistics from the technical desk. In this game, due to the absence of Yao Ming and Maddie, the Rockets lost to the Bobcats 80-86. However, Van Gundy did not care about the win or loss of the game, and he now only cares about the performance of Zhang Chu, who made his eyes shine in this game:

Morrison made 5 of 20 shots and shot 25 per cent. Zhang Chu shot 10 times and hit 7 balls, with a hit rate of 70%! Who wins and who loses, make a judgment!

The game was over, and Ma Fei, a reporter from "Basketball World", was so excited that he immediately found Zhang Chu: "You say, Zhang Chu, I am Ma Fei, a special correspondent of "Basketball World" in the United States. First of all, congratulations on your fantastic performance today, scoring the second-highest 14 points on the Rockets......"

"I'm the second-highest on the team?" Zhang Chu wiped his sweat, he was also satisfied with his performance today.

"Yes, the highest scorer for the Rockets in this game is Juwan Howard, who scored 18 points......" Ma Fei showed Zhang Chu the technical statistics. In this game, due to the lack of two-point scoring masters in the team, the scoring points were scattered, and Zhang Chu's 14 points were already the second highest.

"You scored 14 points in the second game of your NBA career, which is already very good, how do you feel at the moment?"
