NBA: Crazy Little Giant

Looking at the art on Chen Cheng's fingertips, and his two all-star inside players, dancing around Chen Cheng.

Clippers coach Rivers was almost petrified, stunned and dumbfounded.

Soon, Chen Cheng grabbed the rebound and passed it to Aquaman who was in an open position.

Aquaman made a three-pointer.

Watching the basketball passing through the air, Doug Rivers, as the head coach, had a terrifying idea in his mind.

Rivers actually hoped that Steven Adams could make this three-pointer.

Otherwise, his two inside players would be played to death by Chen Cheng.

Jumping continuously is very physically demanding. Griffin and Jordan are already exhausted and panting, with their hands on their knees.

The sweat on the forehead flowed down in streams, dripping onto the floor.......

""Shua!"

Aquaman made a three-pointer.

At this moment, not only Chen Cheng and other Thunder players were happy, but Griffin and Jordan also showed a relieved expression.

This was the third three-pointer that Aquaman made in this game.

3 of 8 three-pointers.

Although the hit rate was not high, it had great strategic significance for the entire Thunder lineup.......

With one minute left in the second quarter,

Chen Cheng was substituted.

Rivers also promptly removed Jordan and Griffin, the two unfortunate brothers.

So far,

Chen Cheng has a total of 13 rebounds.

Jordan and Griffin's rebounding performance is also good, with a total of 6, only one less than half of Chen Cheng's.

""Thank you for your hard work." Rivers, who is good at chicken soup, did not blame the two poor brothers.

There is no way.

Today's Chen Cheng is completely different from what is written in his"recent" player information report.

Since the last time, Chen Cheng led the Thunder to defeat the Warriors at the last moment with the long-lost"True One Star Four Shooting".

Video analysts across the league have only done one thing.

That is to analyze and find Chen Cheng's shortcomings and magnify them infinitely.

How to limit Chen Cheng's rebounds?

Offensive rebounds, if there are not enough rebounding resources, just give up.

But defensive rebounds, this must be fought for, otherwise, the opponent's unlimited secondary offense...

The Thunder's failure to score at this time will make the opponent feel more uncomfortable and even desperate.

How to protect the defensive rebounds?

1. Pour defensive resources to hold off Chen Cheng and do a good job of positioning!

2. Poke the rebound, even if you don't want the rebound, you can't let Chen Cheng grab it.

But Chen Cheng cleverly used his butt and fingers tonight to solve this problem very well.

Moreover, Rivers found that as the game progressed, Chen Cheng became more and more skilled in using his butt and fingers.

When a 226cm player masters Barkley's"butt invasion" and Rodman's"fingertip dance." All you can pray for is that the basketball can bounce farther and away from the territory of Tyrant Chen.......

The half ended.

The Thunder led the Clippers by 13 points, 63vs50.

During the period, the Clippers were under pressure and lost a lot of rebounds, but Crawford was really accurate, dribbling behind his back twice and then making 3+1.

Griffin's mid-range jump shot tonight was also quite efficient.

Also, the Thunder's substitutes are still lacking in firepower.......

The third quarter began.

Chen Cheng and Westbrook did not play.

The two rested off the court.

Audi Laoliu, anal digging master Robertson, shoe king PJ Tucker, Ilyasova and Aquaman, these five people competed with the Clippers' starting lineup.

Although the field was not the Thunder's strongest lineup, the 13-point lead was not eroded.

Chris Paul was particularly uncomfortable being restricted by Robertson tonight.

So far, 5 points, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Griffin played the role of an organizational No. 4 in this lineup.

Paul is more inclined to play without the ball.

This is also a kind of physical protection for Paul.

If the Clippers want to win the Thunder tonight, Paul must train Chen Cheng.

Although Griffin is comprehensive this season, he knows all kinds of offensive moves.

Breaking through with the ball.

Mid-range jump shot.

Post-up singles.

Organizing passes.

And so on.

But the score on the field has not been reduced.

Chen Cheng shook his head slightly off the court.

Griffin's transformation will prolong his career and reduce injuries to a certain extent. After all, Griffin's offensive field is getting farther and farther away from the basket.

But Griffin's influence and dominance in the game also left as he moved away from the basket.

Griffin regarded shooting as his [conventional weapon], and the proportion of attacking the basket was greatly reduced. Once the shot missed, the opponent would counterattack.

Unless you are as accurate as Stephen Curry.

In addition, it is difficult to cause damage to the inside with such a style of play.

When a team has 4 fouls and 0 fouls.

The defensive intensity displayed by the team is different.

Griffin should regard shooting as a [punishment weapon], and the conventional weapon is a strong attack on the basket.

Of course, Griffin's body may not allow it now........

4 minutes and 29 seconds in the third quarter.

Chen Cheng and Westbrook came on the court again, replaced by 'Sea King' and 'Ilyasova'.

The other players on the court were: Oladipo, Robertson and PJ Tucker.

Just after coming on the court.

After the Clippers passed the ball, Paul finally called on Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng had 2 fouls, all of which were caused by Paul.

Paul received a pass from Griffin outside the three-point line on the wing.

Facing Chen Cheng, he made a very standard three-threat posture.

Paul's speed was very fast, and Chen Cheng did not dare to be careless.

Paul kept trying steps.

His body moved back and forth.

This made Chen Cheng happy.

At this time, with his center of gravity pressed down, his face was full of a bright smile, and he couldn't help but move up and down and shook.

Paul's face turned cold.

This guy was provoking him again.

Paul took a flash step, dropped the ball, dribbled two steps forward, pulled back, and shot from a mid-range stop.

This series of operations challenged Chen Cheng's hip joints all the time.

Paul is a well-known point guard. After his rhythmic dribbling, Chen Cheng couldn't jump immediately and could only watch Paul's jump shot.

Although Chen Cheng couldn't jump, he could still raise his hands.

""Ding!"

Paul's shot was restricted by Chen Cheng.

It missed!!!

"Oh, my-god!"

This ball made Rivers, who was on the bench, hold his head in his hands.

Paul's ball was not just a miss.

If Paul didn't have a high success rate when playing small against big, the Clippers' score would have been widened in the second half.

After all, Crawford, who exploded in the first half, was treated harshly by the opponent, and his three-point shooting rate dropped.......

The facts are indeed the same as Rivers thought.

The Thunder has Chen Cheng, the inside rebounding beast, under the basket, and the margin for error is too high.

What's more, they are still very accurate today.

Paul can call out Chen Cheng one-on-one on the offensive end.

He even achieved the effect of military training through rhythmic dribbling.

But Paul's mid-range shots are not accurate.

In the first half, he made 2 of 7 shots.

In the second half, he only made 1 of 4 shots.

The problem is that the Thunder changed their offensive strategy in the first half after the second half.

Whoever is on Paul will play against Paul.

Constantly consume Paul.

8 minutes and 21 seconds in the third quarter.

Chen Cheng also encountered a mismatch in the low post.

"hey-hey"

""Great!"

Chen Cheng saw Paul right behind him.

He was thinking of turning around and dunking on him.

But Paul, who was smart, saw Chen Cheng's footsteps move in advance and fell back.

""Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle.

Offensive foul!

Chen Cheng was speechless.

Damn!

I didn't even touch him, and it was a foul?

Chen Cheng wanted to argue with the referee.

But the Clippers' home referee ignored him and warned Chen Cheng that if he said anything more, he would be given a technical foul. Seeing this

, his teammates hurriedly persuaded Chen Cheng.

At this time, Chen Cheng was a little angry and pretended to fall with his head tilted back.

This scene made the fans in Xia Guo's live broadcast room laugh.......

Chen Cheng, who was fouled by Paul, held his breath. He had to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Chen Cheng glanced at Chris Paul and thought to himself: How about a big loop on him? Uh...It seemed that he could only hit the air, and the referee might even call him a dive.

Thinking about it, Chen Cheng saw Liu Huangshu's DeAndre Jordan again.’

"I wonder if this big fool will be fooled?" Chen Cheng, who is 226cm tall, thought to himself.
