034 Pressing the defense
The game started a little uneventfully, the Cavaliers' little emperor James stood out and scored frequently, but the emperor's mid-range shooting and three-point shooting in this era were not too stable, and the crabs on the inside were also occasionally showing their grandeur. By the end of the entire first quarter, he had scored nine points alone.
Zhang Chen sat on the bench to watch the game up close, and today the veteran Hill swept away the decline of the last game and scored frequently. Barbossa came on for two minutes and scored points.
The Suns blossomed inside and out, firing on all fronts.
Zhang Chen had a vague hunch that this game might not have much of his own. After all, the Suns' offense is as natural and gorgeous as mercury, and they have played the offense they want. So, my presence in this game is a bit like chicken ribs. In the first few games, Zhang Chen was a bit of a firefighter in the Suns, and his shooting and running were very good at critical moments, which is why Zhang Chen was able to gradually gain a foothold in the Suns.
His current shooting skills are level five, which is basically barely enough.
The game was still going on, and two minutes into the second quarter, Zhang Chen was sitting there a little bored. It's a tense game, but if you sit down to the bottom of the game, it looks a little boring.
He didn't notice that there was a figure behind him that seemed familiar.
――――
Although Zhang Chen was a little bored, his expression was still unfazed, and he didn't want others to think that he was frizzy.
D'Antoni stood in front of Zhang Chendi with his hands on his chest, yelling at the people in the stadium. Let them move, let them play according to their own ideas, to win the game. He sat down again when he was tired, then sat down next to Zhang Chendi, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and said, "Chen, get ready, there should be your chance to play later." You know, you've done a good job in the first few games. ”
Zhang Chen said, "I'm ready, boss." ”
D'Antoni said, "Well, that's good...... Tatsu, what do you think of this game? I mean the perception of wins and losses and the players. ”
Zhang Chen took a closer look at the situation on the field, and said in a deep voice: "Now we are still six points ahead, I think this is a good sign, although Steve is down, but Leandro seems to feel very good today." Zhang Chen's vision is still very objective, and he did not verbally erase his performance because of the contradiction between himself and Barbossa.
The Suns' lead had reached seven points, and about four minutes into the second quarter. D'Antoni called a timeout.
"Boys, you've done a great job of not doing the hateful Clevelands any good! I want to say that's what we're going to do next, let's play next...... Remember to shoot when you get the chance, don't hesitate! ”
Zhang Chen nodded, and then, D'Antoni waved his hand and let the players play.
"The Chinese guy is on the field!" There were some people in the audience talking.
"I saw it in the last game, I couldn't believe it, he actually dunked Kobe!"
"yes, of course, that ball was a great pass from Steve, but I think his ability to take chances is beautiful."
"Let's see how he performs."
There are still a lot of such discussions, and many people's attitudes are pure support, hoping that Zhang Chen can get a better performance. Zhang Chen couldn't hear what they said on the court, but he was ready to perform a little better and make his position more stable.
Now the ball is in the hands of the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers when James is not on the court, their performance is a bit chaotic. It's also a legacy of a team that relies too much on one player, and when James isn't on the court, the Cavaliers' offense can be a little disorganized.
This is also the reason why D'Antoni let Zhang Chen play, taking advantage of their illness to kill them. Zhang's good shooting and movement can help the Suns build a bigger lead.
The Cavaliers handed the basketball to the inside, and Vallejo on the inside missed the shot and couldn't fake the fall, although he fell into the dust, but this time no one really touched him.
Zhang Chen was lucky to get the first technical statistic of this game: a rebound, and when he happened to go inside for a lap, the basketball appeared in his hand just right.
After receiving the basketball, several people from the Cavaliers quickly forced over, wanting to snatch the ball from Zhang Chen's hands. Zhang Chen held on to his death, and this is the only move he can do now to protect the rebound.
The guys on the Cavaliers saw that they couldn't squeeze the basketball on Zhang Chen, so they ran back, and the Suns players also followed back to prepare to attack, Banks gave Zhang Chen a look, and ran back himself.
Possession of the ball for the first time in the NBA! Zhang Chen is very careful, his basic skills in ball control are still well practiced, and the Chinese players are generally solid in ball control and shooting.
Just after halftime, there were Cavaliers players coming to press, and it was two!
――――
Zhang Chen didn't expect to cause such a big trouble with his possession of the ball, it seems that these two people came prepared, and the two of them pressed very tightly, especially Larry Hughes, who was like a moving wall, and his defense was very compact.
Zhang Chen dodged his attack with a crotch, and then the hand behind him came again, he had to put away the basketball, and the two of them completely interfered with Zhang Chen's actions and succeeded.
Zhang Chen picked up the basketball, and then passed it to Bell, who had been released on the outside, his height was good, and he had a wide field of vision, and he saw Bell who was vacated because of forcing himself at a glance.
Bale received a pass, and although the passing technique was not very good, his chances were quite good, jumping and shooting, and the basketball passed through the net, fluttering a circle of white net flowers.
The Suns' score advantage expanded to ten points, and the Cavaliers' bag of Zhang Chen instead shot themselves in the foot, turning Zhang Chen's technical statistics into a rebound and an assist.
Bell ran over and high-fived Zhang Chen, and Banks said, "Hey, Chen, your assist skills are going to surpass me." ”
Zhang Chen knew that this was nonsense, he was just a stroke of genius. However, he had an indescribable guess in his heart: he was just holding the ball once, and there were two players who came up to force it, and he had just passed a good open ball, and then they should not dare to be so blatant.
It's just that this kind of forcing is also a little weird...... Has he really become a public enemy of the Alliance?
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen was a little worried in his heart, but also had a kind of unruly arrogance: I am not afraid to score again in the face of such great pressure!
