The strongest basket king

Chapter 16 Confrontation
After a two-game losing streak, Mike Brown finally couldn't bear to change the starting lineup.

In fact, it doesn't matter who the starting insider is. Anyway, the position is Bynum's. It would be good to let Xiang Chu try.

Mike Brown had to make a change. Kobe was in a bad mood during this time. In front of superstars, ordinary coaches can't do it well.

Of course, Kobe will not blame the coach, he will blame the management for inaction, and the coach may be responsible for it.

"I'm always ready."

Being able to start the game, Xiang Chu already had a smile on his face. No matter one or two games, he is happy to show his face, and he has been looking forward to it.

In the training before the game, Josh McRoberts was a bit depressed. He was the strong support the Lakers signed after trading Odom, but there is no way, he did not meet the expectations of the Lakers in the first two games.

For consecutive games, the training in the team is just to familiarize yourself with tactics and activities.

Xiang Chuzheng is asking Gasol for some inside tips. Gasol has a good personality, and it doesn't matter whether he learns or not. It is necessary to have a good relationship with the important players of the team.

"It would be great if I could play. If I could play, the team would never lose again." Bynum was a little bored on the side.

They returned to the home court, and their back-to-back opponents were the Jazz.

The Jazz are not an easy team either. They had some problems last season, but they adjusted well.

Now they have good young people again, Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors are worth looking forward to.

Their current main firepower is inside, which is also one of the reasons why Mike Brown is determined to let Xiang Chu, a tall man, start.

"Hey, buddy, don't be nervous, that's what it's like to start." In the locker room, Artest came over and said.

"I'm not nervous. I haven't won before the first round, and the result can't be worse." Xiang Chu smiled.

Artest patted his head, "I should have guessed it. Your honest appearance during team training always makes me forget your arrogance on social media. It seems that there is your real appearance."

"It's just to put some pressure on myself." Xiang Chu explained weakly.

The Lakers' home court will never be short of spectators, and Xiang Chu gets excited when he goes out.

Somewhat different from what was expected, the Jazz actually let Paul Millsap play as a substitute. You must know that he and Al Jefferson are not so tall twin towers.

The Jazz may want to train young people and increase their firepower during the next rotation. Millsap has the ability to lead the team.

Whether Xiang Chu is facing Jefferson or Favors, he has an advantage in height.

And although the other party is heavier, neither of them is the type to rely on their bodies to force them.

What Xiang Chu dislikes the most now is the unreasonable type. Gasol taught him a very simple defensive method. Just raise a pair of long arms to interfere, regardless of the opponent's footsteps or is other.

The Jazz let Favors start, and also meant to let him defend, Xiang Chu will also take over this job.

This time it was the Jazz who scored first, and Xiang Chu was waiting for the inside line, but they made a hit from the outside line.

However, the Jazz's outside line is much worse than the previous two teams. The Lakers are a bit afraid of the strong outside line now, but the inside line is really not that scary.

As soon as Xiang Chu and Gasol spread out their long arms, they really put a lot of pressure on them not to jump.

No matter how awesome Al Jefferson's footsteps are, they will not move, and the height and length of the arms are arrogant.

Al Jefferson's height is still a bit short, and there is only one tall insider in front of him. Fortunately, the two really affected his performance.

Coupled with Xiang Chu's strong rebounding ability, the team took the lead from the beginning.

The Jazz had to adjust in less than 4 minutes after the start and replaced Millsap.

Millsap's offensive power is much stronger than Favors. The key is that he can play like a small forward, so Xiang Chu and Gasol will be a bit hard to defend.

Xiang Chubie passed once, and was replaced after another foul.

But he must have completed the task, because the score is ahead.

When he was off the court, he couldn't help but said something to Mike Brown, "Coach, put me on the court at the last moment, and make sure there will be no problems."

Mike Brown glared at him and ignored him.

Xiang Chuhan smiled as if nothing happened. He was really worried that Mike Brown would be stupid again, so it would be nice to keep him on the court to protect the rebound.

The starter was very cool, and he was quickly sent to the field again, because Josh McRoberts fouled twice soon after he came up. He was also a little anxious to play as a substitute this time, and the more he wanted to perform, the more problems he had.

The key is that the Jazz's two insiders are sometimes really hard to defend, but sometimes it's not that difficult. Xiang Chu still has an advantage in being taller.

When Xiang Chu played again, he faced Enes Kanter, the No. [-] pick in this round.

When Kanter saw Xiang Chu on the court, he immediately asked for the ball to play singles. He was praised by many people as the best insider in this year. Before entering the NBA, he was also a beast-level guy.

The other party wanted to force him directly, Xiang Chu immediately became upset, everyone is a rookie and they are so disrespectful, come here as soon as you come, I am afraid of the girls.

Kanter sat inside after catching the ball with his back, and his other hand still felt a little bit elbowed.

Xiang Chu resisted stubbornly, resisting with force. He might have been crushed half a year ago, but the crazy strength training in the past few months is not fake.

Not giving Kanter is not a purely powerful insider. His physical contact is to affect the opponent's defense. After sitting in, he turned around and shot very softly.

Before entering the NBA, he used this trick to abuse many people.

After Kanter found that Xiang Chu was not so easy to bully, he immediately turned around and stretched out his arms with a half-hook. The shot was very gentle.

Xiang Chu's heart tightened. He put all his strength on the confrontation, and the interference was not good.

But Kanter didn't make a good shot. Xiang Chu's height still affected him, and the ball went out of the basket.

"Girls." Xiang Chu sneered disdainfully, not pretending at this time is better than waiting.

"You are the bitch." Kanter is not an honest person, and immediately countered, "I will fuck you hard. If you are lucky, you will not be able to explain anything. I will tell you what is a strong insider."

Enes Kanter has always felt that he is the best player in this year. Because he received illegal offers and could not further show himself in the NCAA on behalf of the school, he fell to third place, so he was eager to perform.

It's a pity that he chose the wrong person for choosing Xiang Chu as the target of Li Wei. In the next matchup, Xiang Chu paid more attention, and did not forget to use his long arms to interfere during the confrontation.

Like he said, he's improving every game.

Now it may be difficult for him to fight against the famous insiders in the league. For bullish rookies, he will tell the opponent that the NBA is actually very difficult to mix.
