NBA: Crazy Little Giant

The game was 7 minutes and 28 seconds into the fourth quarter.

The score was 118 vs 88.

The Thunder led by 30 points.

It is worth mentioning that in tonight's game, the Thunder's overall hit rate was not high, only 42.8%, of which the three-pointer hit rate was only 31.8%.

However, the three-pointer hit rate of new aid Bojan Bodanovic was still as high as 44.2%, but he was given special attention by the opponent tonight and did not get many shooting opportunities.

PJ Tucker's three-pointer hit rate was also 38.9%.

It should not be so low, but the other players of the Thunder team were not good at shooting. Whether it was Oladipo, Payton Jr., Robertson, or Aquaman who had just developed a little three-pointer, the three-pointer hit rate was terrible.

But the Thunder team still led by 30 points until now.

This horrible tolerance rate made the opponents in the game tonight shudder.

The reason for such a large tolerance rate.

Two points:

1. The Thunder's defense is online.

Even the 72-win Bulls and 73-win Golden State Warriors have their offenses not in shape.���When it is accurate.

But the defense will not have such big ups and downs.

Chen Cheng, who has his own defensive system, makes the paint area impregnable. Chen Cheng's defense can also spread to the area within the high position. Although it is not as fierce as in the penalty area, it is enough for the Pistons to drink a pot.

2. The Thunder's rebounding guarantee.

Chen Cheng got 16 offensive rebounds in the game tonight, which is equivalent to 16 more second-chance opportunities.

In addition, Aquaman Steven Adams also got 9 rebounds when Chen Cheng was not on the court, including 4 offensive rebounds.

20 offensive rebounds, plus excellent defense.

Directly maximize the tolerance rate.

And this is also the foundation and strength of a championship team.......

In the last three minutes, the Pistons surrendered and the Thunder replaced all five starters.

Chen Cheng scored 31 points, 27 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 blocks and 3 steals.

As a 226cm tall guy, getting 3 steals is simply crazy.

Moreover, all of Chen Cheng's 3 steals were obtained by intercepting the passing route.

Of course, Chen Cheng has to thank God of Zhuang here.

His rough passing skills and overly obvious passing routes made Chen Cheng's steals create a season high.......

"What a pity"

"ah!?"

"If Mr. Chen can get 2 more steals, he can complete 30+ 5X5. If he gets this, it will be quite explosive even in history."

"Puff!? 5X5? Man, you are not mistaken, do you think stealing is that easy?"

"Yes, it's not a rebound. If it's a rebound, let alone 2, I feel that as long as Mr. Chen is willing, it would be no problem to get 10 more."

5X5 is a representative of a player's versatility.

It is much more difficult than a triple-double. In history, there are very few players who can get 5X5.......

Chen Cheng, who was sitting on the bench at this time, actually did want to take a 5X5.

But steals are really hard to get.

After being intercepted by him 3 times in this game, God of Zhuang was extra cautious when he saw him. For this reason, Chen Cheng did not have a single steal in the third and fourth quarters.

As an old rogue who is determined to become a veteran on the record list, Chen Cheng began to think about how to make a fuss about the steal statistic.

Chen Cheng saw that the veteran Scola on the court was being singled out by Marcus Morris.

At present, Morris is the only main player of the Pistons on the court.

The Thunder also kept Oladipo.

Chen Cheng looked at Scola who was singled out by the young and strong Morris and fell into deep thought....

Scola is the worst defender in the Thunder's interior. After all, he is old, and his athletic ability is not enough.

For this reason, Scola can easily become a defensive weak link targeted by other teams.

If I play with Scola, I can completely help Scola to double-team and attack his point.

Chen Cheng, who has [God-level Reaction (Bronze)], has very fast hands.

In addition, the defensive effect of [Giant Lord] is added.

For a time, Chen Cheng saw the hope of 5X5.

Of course, what if the opponent does not target Scola?

In fact, this is easier to deal with.

Scola has a solid low-post offense, stable shooting, and a good off-ball receiving ability. He can appear in the most comfortable position when the center is double-teamed, which can indirectly improve Chen Cheng's [passing ability].

Leaving Scola on the court, Chen Cheng will be particularly comfortable on the offensive end, and this will make the opponent pay a greater price.......

The game was in the final 11 seconds. The outcome was decided!

The winner was determined!

After Peyton Jr. crossed half court with the ball, he did not plan to attack.

But at this time, the Pistons player Marcus Morris, who lost by 39 points, seemed to give up defense and came behind Peyton Jr., suddenly accelerated and stole the ball from Peyton Jr.

"fuck!"

""Fuck!"

This scene made the Thunder players sitting on the bench furious, and they all wanted to rush to the court to punch Morris.

The team coach Billy Donovan was also very angry, but for long-term considerations, he held back and asked the assistant coach to stop Chen Cheng and others.

Payton, who was intercepted by Morris on the court, quickly chased back. He blocked Morris who wanted to shoot a three-pointer from behind. After blocking Morris, Payton quickly dribbled the ball across half court.

There was still 1 second left in the game.

The Pistons players on the court thought Payton would throw the ball away, so they planned to rush over.

But at this time, Payton did not use shooting to vent Morris's unethical steal at the last moment.

Instead, he pressed the basketball hard on the floor with one hand.

Clean and neat!

Cool and domineering!

""Beep!" The whistle of the end of the game sounded.

Little Payton walked to the bench without looking back.

At this moment!

The Pistons fans who wanted to boo Little Payton were all cheered by Little Payton's demeanor.

They couldn't help but applaud this undrafted player.......

When both sides had given up, Payton was intercepted by Morris. He chased Morris and blocked his shot, which proved his ability.

Then, after passing the half court with the ball, he did not choose to shoot in garbage time, but pressed the ball on the floor, which proved his demeanor!

Although Payton is a substitute for the Thunder, he has the same X gene as Chen Cheng!

Of course, if Payton is replaced by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng would not choose to shoot in the end.

But he did not press the basketball on the floor with his hands.

Instead, he stepped on the basketball and looked down at Morris.
