NBA: Crazy Little Giant

"Oh! No!"

Warriors coach Kerr held his head in his hands, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

Chen Cheng, who was a pillar in the interior, faced the double-team of Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala. He shot high and made a shot, causing Iguodala to commit a defensive foul.

Although these two players are only forwards less than 2 meters tall, the intensity they gave was not low, especially Green, who was almost hanging on Chen Cheng, but this still could not stop the tyrant Chen.

However, the player information clearly shows that Chen Cheng's offense under the basket is not good. Facing inside players of 210cm+, his hit rate is less than 40%.

When facing double-teaming, the hit rate is only a pitiful 33%.

However, tonight, Chen Cheng, facing the double-team of Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, he attacked hard and his hit rate reached an astonishing 80%.

4 of 5 shots!

The only time he missed a shot, Chen Cheng also grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Oladipo on the outside, who hit a three-pointer.

"What's up with this big guy?"

""I feel like I'm bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!"

Kerr thought helplessly.

The first quarter ended.

The Thunder led the Warriors by 8 points, 28 vs 20.

Draymond Green, who returned to the bench, smiled bitterly.

Facing Chen Cheng's attack, he tried his best.

But he couldn't reach it!!!......

After the second quarter started, Chen Cheng did not play immediately.

He played almost the entire first quarter and was still sitting on the sidelines to rest.

With the addition of PJ Tucker, the Thunder's frontline resources have improved a lot.

But compared with the Warriors with a strong bench, it is still far behind.

Livingston, an inspirational player on the Warriors bench, led the team's bench and used his steady mid-range shots and back-to-back jump shots to erode the lead little by little.

However, the Thunder's bench performance tonight was not bad.

It's just that the opponent is better.......

4 minutes and 21 seconds in the second quarter.

The Thunder's starting five came on the court again.

The Warriors' lineup was: Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Kevin Durant and Zaza Pachulia.

One inside and four outside.

Green sat on the sidelines to rest.

It's not that Kerr felt that Draymond Green was beaten by Chen Cheng and gave up on him. It

's just that it's not the right time yet.

The Warriors still gave up on offensive rebounds, but tried their best to defend defensive rebounds.

Kerr's idea was that Zaza Pachulia would block the position and Kevin Durant would rush the rebound. On the defensive end, Zaza Pachulia would naturally consume Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng was in the low post, one-on-one, and it was difficult to bully Zaza, who was 125kg and 211cm tall.

But Chen Cheng's mobility was better than his.

Chen Cheng immediately changed to play without the ball, and screened with Westbrook to cover his teammates.

Kerr found that this effect was even more terrifying than Chen Cheng's one-on-one low post.

Chen Cheng's screen wall was very solid, and even Iguodala could be firmly caught.

The speed of the pass is fast.

And Chen Cheng's pass

【Giant's Magic (Silver)] can increase the hit rate by up to 8%.

For this reason, after Zaza Pachulia came on the court, Chen Cheng reduced the frequency of strong attacks on the inside, but became the main organizer and connected the team's offense.

"OMG!"

"The Thunder also rained three-pointers tonight"

"Tonight's game is interesting."

"Yes, there are both old-school basketball's inside fighting and modern basketball's three-pointers and fast breaks."......

In the second quarter, although Thompson also entered a rampage state, transformed into the Buddha, with Buddha's light shining everywhere.

But even so, he was still suppressed by the Thunder.

The Thunder always maintained a lead of more than 5 points.

It was only in the last minute of the second quarter.

Something happened on the court.

After Chen Cheng and Westbrook's pick-and-roll,

Chen Cheng, who was coming down, was just about to eat the ball.

Chen Cheng's speed made it difficult for Zaza to keep up.

But in order to defend him.

Zaza actually reached out from behind to pull Chen Cheng.

It was intentional, even as strong as Chen Cheng was, he was thrown to the ground by the sudden pull.

He fell backwards!

This caused the two commentators of the Tianchao Sports Channel to exclaim.

"Danger!"

"be careful!".......

Seeing Chen Cheng about to fall backwards, Zaza had a playful smile on his face.

Rookie, you are so arrogant!

The experienced Zaza had an innocent expression on his face.

However, the next second.

Two players fell to the ground at the same time.

"ah!"

"What's going on?"

The fans looked at Chen Cheng and Zaza Pachulia who fell to the ground at the same time.

What was terrifying was that Zaza Pachulia's nose was bleeding........

The referee in the stadium was also replaying the slow motion repeatedly.

At this time, the referee found that Chen Cheng, who was pulled down from behind by Zaza Pachulia, hit Zaza Pachulia's face with his elbow when he fell backwards.

Zaza Pachulia fell unconscious instantly without even a cry of pain.

"Is that an elbow?" a referee asked

"Are you kidding me? This is just a move to roll over and protect yourself."Another referee said

"That elbow was too accurate, wasn't it?"The referee said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Finally, the referee in the stadium made the following ruling:

Zaza Pachulia committed a second-degree flagrant foul and was directly sent off.

Well, of course, Zaza Pachulia had already been carried out on a stretcher at this time.

As for Chen Cheng...

He was safe and sound.

After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, Chen Cheng's elbow swing did not seem deliberate.

And the truth of the matter was known only to Chen Cheng.......

"Haha, Xiao Chen looks mild-tempered and modest, just like Yao Ming. But he is decisive and ruthless in his bones."

"If you want to make him suffer, you have to pay ten times the price, and it may not work."

The sharp-eyed coach of Tianchao Sports said with a smile.
