NBA: Crazy Little Giant

Two days later.

The Oklahoma City Thunder played against the Charlotte Hornets at home.

This season's Hornets are still the league's bottom team. Although their small boss Michael Jordan is the god of basketball, his vision in selecting players is indeed problematic.

Of course, this is also related to Jordan's genius.

In his opinion, a simple move that other players practice a thousand times would hardly satisfy him.

However, even if the Hornets are aiming for the draft, the Thunder cannot be careless.

There are no weak teams in the NBA.

Everyone has their time to lose.

Weak teams can also be upset.......

Before the game.

In the locker room.

Coach Donovan also emphasized many times that the opponent should not be underestimated.

All this is to have the home advantage in the playoffs.

The starting lineups of both sides:

Charlotte Hornets: Kemba Walker, Marvin Williams, Nicola Batum, Michael Gilchrist and Cody Zeller.

In addition, Chen Cheng also noticed that the iron tower 'Roy Hibbert' known as the 'Black Yao' was sitting on the bench.

This former Eastern Conference All-Star substitute.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Russell Westbrook, Victor Oladipo, Andre Robertson, PJ Tucker and Chen Cheng......

After the game started, Chen Cheng showed his dominance in rebounding.

With his huge body, he was a pillar in the paint. Even though Cody Zeller had good rebounding skills, he was still like a fragile child in front of Chen Cheng.

Not to mention that Chen Cheng now had full strength in his lower limbs.

"oh-my-god!"

"Chen, what did he do?"

"He blocked two people and grabbed the rebound on the spot."

Charles Barkley in the TMT live broadcast room saw Chen Cheng on the court, blocking Cody Zeller with one hand and Michael Gilchrist, who was swinging on the front line, with the other hand. At the moment the rebound fell, he pulled out his right hand that was blocking Michael Gilchrist and grabbed the defensive rebound on the spot.

After grabbing the rebound, Chen Cheng did not put the basketball down, but continued to raise his hand to keep the basketball at a high point.

At the same time, Chen Cheng noticed the two arrows that were already galloping.

Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo took the lead and rushed to the front.

Especially Westbrook, although his physical test data Although his speed is not as good as De'Aaron Fox, who claims to be the fastest in the NBA, Westbrook is one of the few players in the current league who has a visual effect of acceleration when rushing on the court.

The man has arrived, uh, the ball almost arrived!

Although Chen Cheng's vision is top-notch, his passing technique and basic skills are not at the master level.

Fortunately, Westbrook has a strong ability to receive the ball.

With a slight adjustment, he caught the ball steadily.

The defensive player behind him, Kemba Walker, who is also known for his speed, rushed over and got in front of Westbrook.

At this time, Megatron rushed again.

Kemba Walker, this little guy, was directly overwhelmed by Westbrook. He took three steps and two steps at a time and made a slam dunk.

""Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle. and-one!

2+1

Kenba Walker's face helpless. Although Rand is together, although Witong is also fierce, it can only be regarded as the"Shooting Ri Yaoshen Bow". At this time , the Hornet coach quickly asked for a suspension. They were all scored in positions.

......

The Hornets players on the court all returned to the bench dejectedly.

The Thunder team, on the other hand, turned into"Happy Comedians"’

"Chen, believe me, the celebration I designed for you will definitely be cool for the fans."

""Hurry up and show it."

Westbrook urged.

As he spoke, Westbrook also showed his kingly celebration steps, plus the roar of the turtle.

At the same time, Victor Oladipo, Andre Robertson and PJ Tucker also showed the celebration moves he designed for Chen Cheng.

Watching his teammates' crazy celebrations, Chen Cheng felt like watching a two-person show.

Especially PJ Tucker.

He was so strong that he twisted his buttocks, as if he was dancing Yangko.

"PJ, he's like a naughty pig, hahaha." At this time, Charles Barkley in the TMT live broadcast room laughed while watching and imitated PJ Tucker's celebration.

""Puff!" Kenny Smith laughed.

PJ Tucker's figure is similar to Charles Barkley's. Both are short and strong players. But in terms of physical fitness, PJ Tucker is far inferior to Charles Barkley.

But he is so cool..........

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched, indicating that he would not use that style of celebration.

However, it was time to do his own celebration.

Mmp!

It's impossible for a future superstar to not have his own celebration.

During the previous game, Chen Cheng was not used to doing celebrations and forgot about it.

He must show it later.......

The timeout is over.

The game continues.

The Hornets attack.

Walker breaks the ball and passes it to Batum who cuts in without the ball.

Batum receives the ball.

Andre Robertson rushes over.

Zeller quickly proposes a pick-and-roll for Batum.

However, Robertson does not squeeze the pick-and-roll, but goes around it.

But Robertson's pick-and-roll is not from behind Zeller, who is the pick-and-roll wall, but from behind Batum.

It's like a hyena that is ready to dig its anus at any time.

In the past two games, Robertson's defensive style has changed a bit, especially when defending players with accurate shooting.

If it were a normal defender, this alternative pick-and-roll would not catch up with Batum and it would be easy to lose him.

But Robertson is tall and thin, has fast steps, excellent size, and good bounce speed.

Chasing from behind, or in other words, digging the anus at any time, makes the defensive players feel cold behind them.

If you are not careful, they will be stolen by him.

In addition, it will make it difficult for offensive players to make high-completion shots and prevent them from shooting in a comfortable manner.

This is the Thunder's [Aggressive Defense No.

1 - Digging the Anus!

].

Of course, there is a problem with this defensive method.

That is, Robertson cannot always keep up with the opponent.

Once he is lost, the opponent will attack the inside line and cause a local outnumbered situation with teammates under the basket.

But sorry

...

This is what the Thunder hopes for.

【Aggressive defense style 2 - Cover the sky! 】

Chen Cheng sits under the basket. His size and first-class athletic ability among ordinary 213cm+ inside players are enough to cover the entire restricted area.

Although Batum avoided Robertson's hyena-like anal digging defense this time, he stepped into the trap set by the Thunder's defense system.

Batum, who was threatened by the hyena anal digging from behind, noticed Chen Cheng under the basket, but he was on the weak side and there was not much room for thinking in his mind.

If... should... possible...

He won't be able to make it in time.

""Pah!"

Batum's shot was slapped away by Chen Cheng. For a moment, applause rang out like thunder.

At that moment, Batum was like a flying iron tower, rushing towards him, and then the basketball flew out.

Suddenly, at this moment, the applause and shouts at the scene exploded.

Many fans even stood up excitedly.

Batum, who was still standing there in a daze, saw Chen Cheng, and seemed to be doing a strange celebration.

He put his left hand behind his back and stretched out his right hand, with his palm facing up and his fingers bent.

It seemed to convey"Come on, come over here!"

This action, for some reason, was quite provocative in the eyes of the referee.

Even if he didn't do it to Batum, but to the opposite basket...

""Beep!"

The referee whistled.

"Technical foul!

The referee gave Chen Cheng a technical foul.

"what?"

"this!?"

"No way!"

"Is this also a technical foul?"

The fans at the scene were very dissatisfied with the referee's decision and immediately booed the referees.

The three referees on the field could not help but sweat. Is Chen Cheng so popular in Oklahoma?

Compared with Kevin Durant back then, he is even more popular.

As the star player of the team, Russell Westbrook was also very dissatisfied when he saw Chen Cheng was called for a technical foul and went to the referee to argue.

"Russell, Chen, I'm not targeting you, your celebration was provocative."The referee explained.

"Where's the provocation?"

"I mean welcome!"

Chen Cheng said seriously.

"Uh."

The referee rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Chen, if you want to do this celebration without being penalized, you can apply to the league."The referee said again.

The two sides argued for a while.

In the end, they both took a step back.

The referee changed the decision, but Chen Cheng could not do it again in this game.

Chen Cheng also agreed.

First, after doing the celebration, he felt good.

Second, he could not pay for it.......

In this game, the Thunder's focus was not on how many points they won, but on practicing the new defensive system.

The effect was much better than the first game.

Although Batum also scored, he will dream about Robertson and Chen Cheng tonight.

The cooperation between the two of them is like that of a hyena and a giant tiger.

He is a prey being chased.

It is already difficult to stare at the anal digging that may happen behind him at any time.

The problem is that there is a tiger's mouth that covers the sky and the sun in front, waiting for him to send his head in.......

"Ha ha"

"The Thunder's defense has changed a lot tonight."

"It seems that their defensive system adjustment has achieved good results."

Charles Barkley laughed in the TMT live broadcast room

"Yes, it is true."

"However, Chen still felt very uncomfortable when facing the"big defending small""

"In this playoff stage, we will still be targeted."

Kenny Smith said

"Haha. Kenny, you are too pessimistic. Kemba Walker's three-point shooting was extraordinary tonight, and coupled with his fast speed, Chen looked a little embarrassed."

Charles Barkley brainlessly defended Chen Cheng......

At the same time, at 6 minutes and 21 seconds into the third quarter, the scene erupted with cheers and screams.

Barkley was a little surprised.

It was just Chen Cheng grabbing an ordinary rebound, why did it cause a sensation again?

Uh!

It turned out that Chen Cheng was doing a"rebound celebration"’

‘Come here, come here! This is Chen Cheng's [block celebration].

Now it's the rebound celebration.

But this action seems a little strange....

Not very serious.
