Chapter 236: Worthy of the Defending Champion
No, today is the time he has been aiming at for a long time, and his purpose is to fight with Chen Lei, a super rookie.
One is to prove his strength, and the other is to avenge being suppressed by this guy in the Western Conference Finals last year, and it's time to get back the limelight for this fat man during the Western Conference Finals.
The game has been played so far, and it was hard to wait for Chen Lei to come to the No. 3 position, and finally be able to play with him for 300 rounds, but at the beginning of the third quarter, this guy was sad after a wonderful three-point shot.
Chen Lei doesn't shoot outside the three-point line, but he can't watch the excitement from the clubbing, and after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Lei can only play the role of breaking through the ball.
Three times in a row, Chen Lei forced the way with his physical advantage, knocked Leonard into the penalty area, and distributed the ball to his teammates again and again.
Even if Leonard tried to use a deception foul to block, he failed to foul Chen Lei, but instead attracted a roll of the referee's eyes.
3 crosses and 2, while the team scored 5 points, Chen Lei also received 2 assists.
At 4 minutes and 2 seconds in the third quarter, Chen Lei was replaced by Si Shuai and did not continue to play in the third quarter, and Leonard, who planned to get back to the court, could only grit his teeth and pause, but could not do anything.
In the third quarter, Si Shuai gave up using Chen Lei and relied on Jordan Jr. to play under the basket, which made Heat fans very puzzled, and they were looking forward to seeing him in every game for more than half of the games, but today it is obvious that Chen Lei will not have many opportunities.
"Hey!" At the end of the third quarter, Chen Lei sighed heavily, because just now Si Shuai and Special said the fourth quarter arrangement for himself, but this was not what he wanted.
Although he was still able to play, he didn't have much offensive arrangement. His main task is on the defensive end.
Chen Lei knows what his defensive ability is. Neither good nor bad can be regarded as average.
There won't be much of a mistake. Again, there won't be too many bright lenses.
"Let me limit the opponent's interior attack, directly against Duncan or intercept other breakers, how can I have that ability?" Chen Lei felt bitter in his heart, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Si Shuai's gourd, and he didn't know how this guy could see that he could restrict them.
I'm not Little Jordan, I'm not Birdman Anderson, I'm just a fat man.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, according to the coach's arrangement, Chen Lei began to bloom his energy on the defensive end.
At 3 minutes and 11 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Spurs once again stretched the score to double digits, and Chen Lei stopped inking and began to attack on the offensive end. However, the body that consumed a lot of money made him unsuccessful in two consecutive strong fights.
"Crit!" Angry, Chen Lei ignited the first critical opportunity, and stepped on the line of the ultra-long-distance two-point shot into the pocket.
"Brilliant hands!" On the defensive end, Chen Lei activated his magic skill and slammed the basketball in Duncan's hand, but just when Chen Lei thought that he could lead his teammates to counterattack as soon as he succeeded, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle in his mouth to signal that the game was temporarily stopped, and pointed to Chen Lei, who was grabbing the basketball and was about to pass, to make a defensive foul gesture.
"Defensive...... Foul? Chen Lei looked at the referee who raised his hand depressedly, your uncle, Lao Tzu This is a skill, how can he foul?
Chen Lei's mind was blank, because he was completely stunned at the moment. He didn't understand how a steal from a good hand could have been fouled.
"Fack!" Chen Lei spread his hands aggrievedly and looked at the referee: "Have you seen it clearly?" Where is this foul? I'm a ...... with a lot of skills."
Chen Lei was anxious to tell his secret, but the referee didn't think he was telling the truth.
"Your hand is a steal of the basketball. But your body illegally collided with Duncan's lower body during the steal. The referee gave a rare explanation, but it sounded strange.
Nakedness? Chen Lei glanced at Duncan and couldn't help but tremble.
The final penalty has not changed, and it can be seen on the video that Chen Lei did have a physical collision with Duncan, for which Chen Lei could only sigh that he was incompetent.
Chen Lei was replaced by Si Shuai and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Today's Spurs' main offensive firepower is still the team's young blood, and in the middle of the fourth quarter, Leonard, Green and others broke out their own small universe to beat the Heat, and the point difference returned to double digits again.
Si Shuai quickly thought about countermeasures in his head, and planned to put Chen Lei back in the field, but he finally gave up using Chen Lei.
The rest of the team's lineup is also good, relying too much on the individual is not the way to do it, and this is just an innocuous preseason game, mainly training.
In the end, Si Shuai gave up the idea of changing Chen Lei to the court, and used Jordan Jr. and Anderson's double defensive interior to protect rebounds and limit the opponent's offense, and the offensive end was dominated by Collison, Carter and Rohr Deng.
"Smack!" Jordan Jr., who returned to the court, slapped Leonard's breakthrough layup out of the restricted area with a heavy hat, and Jordan Jr. looked at this arrogant guy for a long time and rubbed his nose and snorted coldly.
The Heat did a good job of defending at the end of the fourth quarter, but the offensive end could only be regarded as a mediocre, and in the end they could only helplessly watch the Spurs take away the victory and reap a defeat.
In today's game, the Heat can be said to have not achieved a real advantage, and have been dragged by the Spurs for four quarters of the game.
Although it is not like the finals to be cut by the Spurs, and in the end it is only a few points apart, but the gap between the two is still relatively obvious.
Some people may say that it is the reason why Wade did not play, and some people say that it is the reason why Si Shuai hid Chen Lei in the end, but in the eyes of the Heat's coaching staff or those senior basketball masters, this is not as good, it is not as good.
"Lost to them again." Chen Lei sighed, stood up from the bench, and walked to the Spurs players on the field.
"Smack!" Chen Lei and Duncan high-fived: "Congratulations." ”
"Don't be discouraged, it's just a pre-season game, and it's good for you guys who are regrouping." Duncan patted Chen Lei on the shoulder, "To be honest, this team is very suitable for you, Si Shuai is a good head coach, a smart guy who grew up in Riley's hands." ”
Chen Lei nodded, "I also know that this place is very suitable for me now, so I have to be careful next time we meet, because the competition at that time will definitely not be like today." ”
"I'm looking forward to that day too." Duncan and Chen Lei hugged again, and the two waved their hands separately.
After a few polite words with Ginobili, he hugged Parker again, and looked up again at a smiling fat man in front of him, his old rival Dio.
"I wonder why I'm so happy now?" Diohaha smiled and said, "Second grade, what do I say, the victory belongs to us, right?" ”
Looking at Dio Chen Lei in front of him, his frustrated mood was a little better, and he looked at this proud fat man and smiled, "You guy, why are you so indebted when you laugh?" (To be continued......)
