NBA: Crazy Little Giant

Chapter 66

The Thunder built a defensive system with Chen Cheng as the core of defense.

Chen Cheng was the pillar under the basket.

Audi Six, the death-wrap, and Robertson, the anal-digging master, were on the outside.

PJ Tucker, the tough shoe king, was swinging on the front line.

After defeating the Warriors, when these four were on the court at the same time, they were the team with the fewest points lost in the league. They were also the team that forced the most turnovers and blocked shots in the league.

The official media of the Oklahoma Thunder gave their team a resounding name,"Forbidden City".

Of course, the outside media jokingly called the Thunder"Oklahoma Six".

Tonight's game has received high attention from the whole world. Before the game, all major media were claiming that this game was a battle between

"Alley-Oop City vs. Forbidden City". The high attention and popularity of the game made the average ticket price of this game increase by 69%. It can be seen from this that Chen Cheng's ability to attract money can be seen from a small glimpse.

.......

The starting lineup of the City of Lobs: Chris Paul, JJ Redick, Luke Richard Mbah a Moute, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

The City of Six, ahem, no, the starting lineup of the Forbidden City: Megatron, Audi Six, Robertson, Aquaman and Tyrant Chen.

After the game started, Jordan won the jump ball.

Jumping the ball is not entirely related to height, jumping and jumping speed, but also has a lot of luck.

Jordan passed the ball to Chris Paul.

Paul passed the ball across half court with a serious expression and used his fingers to direct his teammates to run.

As the commander of the team, Paul is very strict with his teammates, even to the point of being harsh.

He does not allow his teammates to make any mistakes on the court.

Paul's style of play tends to be that of a veteran and rigorous point guard.

This style will enable the team to have good tactical execution capabilities.

The disadvantage is that the ability to fight tough battles is very average. Facing strong enemies, high-intensity games, and overly rigorous styles will reduce the team's tolerance rate.

The team led by Chris Paul was overturned by the Rockets' headband gang, the Bucks' Antetokounmpo and the Dallas Mavericks' East 77.

This style of play was indeed good in the regular season.

But in the playoffs, it exposed the lack of tough battle ability.......

After half court,

Jordan went to the high post to set a screen for Paul.

Paul is still at his peak, and his mid-range shot is as steady as a dog. Chen Cheng saw that Westbrook did not squeeze through the screen in the first time, so he switched to Paul.

At this time, Paul did not choose to train Chen Cheng, but pretended to break through, tricked Chen Cheng to move left, and then made a quick and accurate ground pass, which passed under Chen Cheng's crotch and passed to Blake Griffin who cut inside.

"Wow!"

"Beautiful! Chris, great post."

"Nice, Chris"

"Hahaha."

The fans at the scene saw Paul pass the ball through the crotch as soon as he came on the court, which seemed to be teasing Chen Cheng, and they couldn't help but cheer.

On the court, Griffin got the ball, took a step, and took off directly.

Aquaman couldn't keep up with the pace, so he could only foul in advance, but he hugged Griffin who was unbalanced in the air.

""Beep!"

The referee whistled.

Aquaman committed a defensive foul.

Griffin stood on the free throw line.

This round fully demonstrated Paul's experience. He was afraid of Chen Cheng's ability to protect the rim, so he pretended to break through to attract Chen Cheng's defense, and then passed the ball to Griffin who cut in.

In this way, Chen Cheng could not rush back to help defend Griffin.

"Rookie, welcome to the city of alley-oops." Chris Paul raised his lips and said with contempt.

Paul's ability to control people's mentality is also first-class.

He wanted to use this method to anger Chen Cheng so that he could perform the"Big Loop" in the next round.’

"Hey, CP3, actually, if you didn't pass the ball just now, but broke through my crotch, you might have scored 2+1." Chen Cheng was not to be outdone, and said with a sunny smile

"Rookie, I hope you can still laugh later."Paul said coldly......

This season, Griffin has very comprehensive skills.

His outside shooting has been developed. His free throws are much more accurate than his rookie season.

Most importantly, Griffin has become more calm.

He is no longer the white monster who only knows how to dunk.

"Swish!"、"Swish!"Two free throws made......

The Thunder attacked.

Chen Cheng did not choose to go down low and attack Jordan.

First, Jordan is still a defensive player this season.

Second, Chen Cheng wanted to be more responsible for connecting the team and activating teammates at the beginning of the game.

Third, the Thunder will try a new tactic tonight.......

High post double pick and roll, to put it simply, is to widen the pick and roll wall.

Delay the pursuit of the defender with the ball.

Westbrook holds the ball.

At the same time, Chen Cheng and Aquaman move from the basket to the three-point line.

Aquaman is a tall inside player, and his pick and roll quality is very good.

Chen Cheng is a huge inside player, and his pick and roll quality is like a copper wall.

Westbrook does not have excellent shooting ability, but Chen Cheng's [Giant Iron Wall (Bronze)] can help Westbrook increase his shooting BUFF after the pick and roll.

"Wow..."

"OMG!"

"Chen and Steven's pick-and-roll wall is like a bunker."

Charles Barkley said in amazement in the TMT live studio

""Uh." Kenny Smith was speechless.

But he also agreed with Barkley's point of view.

The high-post double pick-and-roll of Chen Cheng and Aquaman was not only incredibly tough, but also really wide. The pick-and-roll wall formed by these two people was as wide as three Porzingis, really like a wall.

Chen Cheng had to stand closer to the basket.

Aquaman was closer to the three-point line........

Westbrook chose to break through from the empty side to Chen Cheng's right.

Paul knew that Westbrook's shooting threat was small, so he chose to go around the pick-and-roll.

He just went around the wide wall of Aquaman.

He ran into the huge wall of Chen Cheng.

Paul's ability to go around the pick-and-roll was sufficient, but he was still caught by Chen Cheng.

Paul was between Chen Cheng and Aquaman at this time.

Chen Cheng saw that Paul was about to go around, and while the referee was not paying attention, he leaned to the side of Aquaman.

Chen Cheng and Aquaman were like two closed doors.

In an instant, Paul was stuck

"ouch!"

"fuck!"

""Fuck!"

Paul cursed angrily.

In the eyes of the fans in front of the TV, Paul's head seemed to be stuck outside between two doors.

At the same time, Westbrook broke through to the basket and completed a dunk under the pursuit of Jordan.

Seeing Westbrook score,

Haiwang and Chen Cheng smiled at each other and returned to defense.

Only Chris Paul, who was complaining to the referee at this time, was left

"Referee, that big guy just moved on the pick and roll."

"Yeah?"

"Of course, that damn rookie..."

Just as Paul was complaining to the referee, Jordan passed the ball to JJ Redick from the baseline.

Redick signaled Paul to control the ball.

Paul had no choice but to give up arguing with the referee. After receiving the ball, he thought to himself that he must single out the cunning big guy in the next round.

However, at this moment, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

Paul felt something was wrong.

The next second.

A black hand suddenly appeared on the basketball.

""Bang!"

Oladipo blocked the field of vision perfectly, rushed out from the sidelines, and stole the ball from Paul.

After being stole the ball, Paul was extremely depressed.

Just now, he was hit on the head by that big guy.

Now, the ball was stole by this unknown player.

Paul became more and more angry, and pushed Oladipo from behind in a subtle way.

Fortunately, Oladipo had good physical fitness and stabilized his body.

Oladipo and the referee indicated that Paul had committed a foul.
