NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 41 Super offensive firepower! 33 points in summer league debut!

Wang Chong naturally knows Barnes, who is not a nobody in the NBA.

But even at his peak, Barnes was only a substitute player, and his overall ability rating was only about 75.

This refers to the mature Barnes who averaged 10 points and 5 rebounds per game after playing for the Suns, Lakers, and Clippers a few years later.

Barnes, who is still a second-year rookie, may not even have an overall ability rating of 70. This is naturally not the case for Wang Chong, who currently has an overall ability rating of 82, reaching the standard for a star-level player, and has four badges. What kind of.

Seeing Barnes taking the initiative to get close to his body, Wang Chong didn't even think about it. He put the ball forward and accelerated his breakthrough. He passed Barnes with his long legs and rushed straight towards the penalty area.

"So fast!" Barnes was shocked and didn't even have time to react.

He could never imagine that a man as big as Wang Chong could be so flexible.

When Durant was at his peak, his explosive power was not weak, and breakthroughs with the ball were also one of the important offensive methods.

Wang Chong's current speed and agility are 79 and 77 respectively, and his explosive power is 79. He is not far behind Durant at his peak. With the advantage of being taller and longer than other forward players, he does not pose a threat at all when breaking through. Weaker than peak Durant.

Kaman, who was still standing in the penalty area, also didn't react. He didn't even see how Wang Chong got past Barnes, but the next moment he saw Wang Chong rushing towards the penalty area with the ball.

The two had played against each other during March Madness. At that time, Kaman easily suppressed Wang Chong on the offensive end, whose overall ability rating was not high enough. However, Wang Chong still caused him some trouble. , causing Wade to seize the opportunity and take away the game in one wave.

Therefore, Kaman is actually slightly hostile to Wang Chong and does not want to see Wang Chong stand out.

Facing Wang Chong who rushed into the penalty area with the ball, Kaman did not hesitate at all. He directly gave up defending his opponent and faced Wang Chong to make up the defense.

But Wang Chong stopped one step in front of him and made an emergency jump shot.

It was too late for Kaman to keep up with the defense. Not only was Wang Chong tall, but his shooting angle was also very high. Even Kaman, who was 2 meters tall and slightly taller than Wang Chong, had no way to deal with Wang Chong's shooting. , could only watch the basketball pass over his head and hit the net.

Dazhi, who was sitting on the sidelines, watched this scene and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"This combination of dribbling and pull-up jump shots shows Wang Chong's basic skills are very solid!"

Da Zhi is also a seven-foot-tall inside player, so he knows very well how difficult it is for big players like them to make flexible dribbling actions like outside players. At least he can't do it. When he saw it, There are very few people who have ever done it.

Wang Chong is the big man with the best combination of man and ball that he has seen so far, which is quite rare even in the NBA.

"No wonder he was selected in the first round of the lottery. He is so strong."

Obviously, Dazhi sighed too early.

Where is this?

The summer league itself is a stage for players such as James, Anthony, Wade, and Wang Chong to perform far beyond the rookies of the same class.

The opponent's strength is weak, giving them many opportunities to show off their personal abilities.

In the next few rounds, the Lakers' offense was all carried out by Wang Chong. Poor Barnes was beaten by Wang Chong in various ways.

<divclass="contentadv">Mid-range pull-up shots, behind-the-back fadeaway jumpers, super variable-frequency European step layups, corner three-point line cuts to the basket...

This game can be regarded as the most enjoyable game Wang Chong has played since he traveled here. After all, the opponent's strength gap is huge, and they have no sense of teamwork and do not understand the efficiency of double-teaming Wang Chong and assisting in defense. Not high either.

Most of Wang Chong's attacks were concentrated within the three hot zones lit by the hot zone hunters. With the blessing of the badge, his hit rate was also astonishingly high.

In the first half alone, Wang Chong made 14 of 8 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 20 points. His superb performance made the Lakers coaches ecstatic.

Hit the jackpot! Won the jackpot!

The coaching staff had to admire the management's vision at this time.

Wang Chong's ability is too outstanding.

Even though it was a brutal game, everyone is an NBA player after all, and they still have a good eye for judging people. While beating his opponents, Wang Chong showed solid basic skills and accurate mid-range shots that are very good even in the NBA. Excellent standard.

For the Lakers, who currently lack outstanding talents at the forward position, Wang Chong is like manna after a long drought. It is really important and timely!

In the second half of the game, Wang Chong did not play for too long, because the summer league itself is not a game about winning or losing. The main job of the coach is to test the players' abilities, especially whether a large number of short-term contract players have the value to sign long-term contracts with the team. .

Therefore, Wang Chong only played about 8 minutes in the third quarter and did not play again. The game was completely left to other supporting players.

Even so, Wang Chong, who played nearly 30 minutes in the game, still efficiently scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and his shooting percentage reached an astonishing %!

In fact, no one cares about winning or losing the final game.

Whether it is media reporters or some die-hard fans, they only pay attention to the performance of the players participating in the game.

Wang Chong, who scored 33+6+4, naturally succeeded in stealing everyone's attention. This data is dazzling enough even in the summer league.

In contrast, Chris Kaman, who was drafted by the Clippers with the sixth overall pick in the first round and was much higher than the draft pick, performed mediocrely. He scored 18 points and 8 rebounds in the game. Although it cannot be considered a poor performance, this thing is Afraid of comparison.

When fans compare the performance of Kaman and Wang Chong, it seems that his performance is not generally bad.

It is worth mentioning that Da Zhi played as a substitute and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds in a limited time. His performance was not bad.

It's a pity that no one cares about Da Zhi's performance and performance. I am afraid that only the assistant coaches of the Clippers coaching staff will see his efforts and record them in the report. This has become one of the reasons why Da Zhi successfully stayed in the Clippers. one.

After the game, Wang Chong and Dazhi left each other's contact information. They happened to be playing in Los Angeles. They were strangers in a foreign land. When they met, they knew each other.

Although Wang Chong is now a Chinese-American, his soul that traveled through time is actually an out-and-out Chinese. Therefore, he can completely empathize with Dazhi's experience. He has a compatriot whom he can occasionally meet up to eat and chat with. It's also an excellent thing.

However, Wang Chong also knew that Da Zhi would be traded to Miami by the Clippers not long after the start of the 03-04 regular season. The two of them would not be able to get along with each other in Los Angeles for too long, which is a bit of a pity. .
