NBA: James wants to team up with me

Chapter 43 The second battle between Wang Chong and Anthony was really different.

The Lakers center won the jump ball and the Lakers gained the ball.

The team's point guard had not dribbled the ball past half court, and he eagerly passed the ball to Wang Chong.

Everyone on the field knows very well that there are only two protagonists in today's game, Wang Chong and Anthony, and everyone else is a foil. Whoever dares to dominate the scene will not be able to continue to play in the team in the next game. Went down.

In fact, during the summer league, the team's lineup will undergo substantial changes in every game. The team coach will decide whether to let the opponent continue to play in the next game based on the player's performance. After all, during the summer league, the team is not afraid of looking for players at all. Instead of players playing, a large number of unemployed free agents will gather here, waiting at any time for teams that have vacant player spots to sign short-term contracts with them.

It is normal for a team to change four or five players in one day in the summer league.

Therefore, players who can play for the team usually cherish this opportunity. Not only must they strive to show their best selves on the court, but they must also show stronger execution than anyone else and obey the coach's arrangements. After all, no coach would hate a player who always obeys his orders.

Just like now, when he saw the point guard handing the ball to Wang Chong immediately, the corners of the Lakers assistant coach's mouth curled up slightly.

Although the opponent's behavior was not enough to leave an impression in his mind, at least the coach was not dissatisfied because of "excessive" sticking to the ball. This is actually enough.

After receiving the ball, Wang Chong took two steps forward and came to the three-point line. Standing in front of him was Anthony.

Anthony is actually still a little confused.

During Wang Chong's time in the NCAA, he has always been a center. Although he was responsible for defending him in the finals, he didn't switch from an inside player to an outside player in just two months, right?

Anthony couldn't figure it out. He hadn't watched Wang Chong's game later. After all, during the draft, Anthony's main focus was on James, his biggest opponent in the draft. How could he have the time to pay attention to a small character like Wang Chong? ?

Even now, Anthony still feels that Wang Chong, a player who mainly plays inside center, can have any solid basic skills at the small forward position?

"Boy, I'm going to score 40 points on you today! There's no Dwyane to protect you today."

Looking at Wang Chong facing him with the ball, Anthony immediately spoke harshly without thinking.

When Wang Chong heard this, he smiled slightly.

His current strength is not what it used to be. If Anthony says this again, it will have no deterrent effect on him.

The calf muscles tightened, and Wang Chong jumped out instantly, extremely fast.

Anthony was caught off guard, his reaction was half a beat too slow, and he watched Wang Chong rush past him.

"So fast!"

Anthony's pupils shrank. Wang Chong's speed was so fast that he couldn't believe it. The speed he started at this moment was even slightly faster than his own. Although Anthony himself is not good at speed, he is inferior to breakthrough masters such as Wade and James. A little better, but the breakthrough ability is also very strong.

Wang Chong was actually able to do it faster than him, which naturally surprised Anthony. Two months ago in the finals, Wang Chong did not have such speed.

He immediately turned around and wanted to pursue the defense, but saw Wang Chong, who had passed him in one step, only took two steps and then stopped, raised his hand and took off to shoot.

Anthony, who was standing beside Wang Chong, subconsciously raised his hand to interfere with Wang Chong's shot, but when he stretched out his hand, he found that his action was somewhat self-defeating.

Anthony has a standard small forward figure, with a height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 03 meters. His static talent is not particularly outstanding in the NBA, and he himself is not known for his static talent.

But at such a height, it will be very difficult to defend Wang Chong. Wang Chong is really too tall. In addition, after equipped with Durant's shooting action package, the shooting point is now also very high, and it is difficult to form an effective defense from the front. .

"brush!"

<divclass="contentadv">Wang Chong threw the basketball towards the basket with almost zero interference. There was a crisp sound of the net being brushed, and the basketball hit the net.

Seeing this, the Los Angeles Lakers fans on the sidelines applauded.

Facing Carmelo Anthony, this year's third overall pick, Wang Chong actually showed no sign of weakness and scored easily in front of the opponent. How could this not surprise Lakers fans?

This is a direct duel between the third pick in the first round and the 13th pick in the first round. Not to mention having the upper hand, even if Wang Chong can tie with Anthony, the Lakers will still make a profit!

"Aren't you going to score 40 points on me? I'm waiting."

Wang Chong, who scored the goal, glanced at Anthony and said lightly.

Anthony's face turned a little dark, and he went directly to the baseline to catch the ball and dribbled the ball across half court without letting the point guard do it for him.

The tone of this game from the very beginning has been Anthony vs. Wang Chong, and it is natural for the two to directly confront each other.

When Wang Chong attacks, Anthony defends. When Anthony attacks, Wang Chong naturally guards.

With experience in the NCAA finals, Anthony clearly knows that although Wang Chong has a great advantage in height and wingspan, it is indeed difficult to deal with those long arms waving, but Wang Chong's confrontation ability is not strong. He can easily handle strength.

Therefore, in this attack, Anthony did not use any fancy skills, but simply held the ball to accelerate the breakthrough, trying to use his strength advantage to forcefully crush Wang Chong.

Seeing this, Wang Chong took the initiative to greet him without dodging or evading.

"Bam—!"

The moment their bodies collided, they were both shaken violently.

Wang Chong couldn't help but take two steps back, and Anthony's momentum was also slowed down.

At first glance, Wang Chong was indeed at a disadvantage in the confrontation of strength.

But Anthony's eyes widened in shock, looking at Wang Chong in disbelief.

"How can this be?"

In the moment of contact, he was originally going to crush Wang Chong directly, but Wang Chong's strength was greatly beyond his expectation. Although Wang Chong was at a disadvantage, he successfully stopped his momentum. This shows that the two sides The difference in human strength is not that big.

But how is this possible?

During the NCAA finals, in terms of strength alone, Wang Chong was no match for him and could be easily manipulated by him. How could Wang Chong's strength improve so much in just over two months?

Anthony, who was completely unprepared, was almost unsteady and could only protect the ball with both hands and stand still. The ball was dead at this time, so he had to subconsciously raise his hand to shoot.

But Wang Chong did not retreat too far, and immediately came up to him and raised his hand to interfere.

At this time, the gap in static talent becomes apparent.

When Wang Chong shot, Anthony had no way to defend him. But on the other hand, when Anthony shot and Wang Chong defended, Anthony felt as if he was being blocked by a mountain. In order to avoid being blocked, he could only increase the shooting angle. Although he could avoid it, He blocked the shot, but the shooting angle was too high and he directly shot a three-pointer.
