NBA: Crazy Little Giant

Chapter 75

There are no weak teams in the NBA, let alone the Trail Blazers with their two guns.

Under the leadership of Lillard and CJ McCollum, the Trail Blazers are regulars in the playoffs.

But the Trail Blazers have never been able to enter the first tier of the league.

In addition to the lack of strength in the team's lineup, there is also the problem of the quality of superstars.

Lillard is definitely an All-Star level player.

There is no need to question his ability to lead a team.

But Lillard is still a big problem away from being a historical level guard.

Although the Trail Blazers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder.

But the star player Damian Lillard expressed his high appreciation for Chen Cheng.

"Although I don't think Russell Westbrook is a stronger star than me, he has a teammate in the inside line that he always dreamed of."When Lillard said this, the envy in his eyes was beyond words.

You know, Lillard is a very confident player. His signature celebration action is to 'look at the watch'.

He doesn't admit that he is worse than Westbrook, Harden and Curry, but at this moment, he is greedy for Chen Cheng, and his mouth is watering. After the game, more than half of Lillard's topics revolved around Chen Cheng.

"Damian, do you think the Portland Trail Blazers can win the championship this year?"The reporter asked with a smile

"Every year our goal is to win the championship. Although it is very difficult, we will do our best. Lillard's answer was very official, which made the reporters around him fall asleep.

But soon, Lillard changed his tone.

"If we are given a 'Chen', we will definitely win the championship." Lillard said surprisingly.

This confident look and expression shocked the reporters.

"Ah!?"The reporters' first reaction was naturally surprise.

"That's right"

"Give us a chance, and we will definitely be able to compete for the championship."

Lillard said again with absolute certainty.

And these words were also recorded by all the reporters at the scene........

On the other hand,

Chen Cheng returned to his rental house at night and watched serious basketball videos again. Well, it was the one Barkley sent before.

Chen Cheng would have new insights after watching it after each game.

And he could apply it in the next game.

Even Charles Barkley praised this.

"You only see Chen's height, but you don't see how terrifying his basketball IQ and learning ability are."......

The talents of NBA players can actually be divided into [explicit talents] and [implicit talents].

Explicit talents can be divided into: static talents and dynamic talents.

Static talents: physique, size, etc.

Dynamic talents: running and jumping ability, etc.

Although Chen Cheng's dynamic talents are at the bottom of the NBA, his static talents are extremely explosive.

【[Hidden talents] are even more difficult to see at first glance, such as: big heart, ball sense, learning ability, player plasticity, etc.

The terrifying thing about Curry is that his [hidden talents] explode.

Chen Cheng's [hidden talents] are absolutely no problem.

He can learn 88% of rebounding techniques by watching videos, and he can also apply these techniques to real games. This [learning ability] is evident.

Some NBA players practice three-pointers hard during the offseason, but when it comes to official games, they don't even have the courage to shoot.

This is a manifestation of lack of [hidden talents].

But Chen Cheng is different.

His [hidden talents] are at a super high level.......

About an hour later,

Chen Cheng's cell phone rang.

It was a call from an Oklahoma manager, who told Chen Cheng that he had found several sellers of luxury villas and manors.

The specifications of the villas were very much in line with Chen Cheng's requirements.

He would go and see them when he had time.

"Thanks"

"I will definitely take a good look when I come back from Dallas."

Chen Cheng said with a smile.

Chen Cheng, who has recently received several advertising endorsements, has enough money to buy a luxury villa.

That's why he asked the Thunder's management to help him find a house.

However, Chen Cheng will embark on a journey to Dallas tomorrow.

He will have to wait until he comes back to live in his own luxury villa.......

Before going to bed,

Chen Cheng received a comforting text message from Westbrook

"Chen, only after experiencing victory and failure can one grow into a man."

——Russell Westbrook.

Westbrook was worried that he would be depressed because of the failure, so he sent a text message to comfort him. After all, before Westbrook was absent, he joked that"without Westbrook" might be stronger.

"Russell, I think you should dye your hair red. Chen Cheng also replied.

"？？？"Westbrook left several big question marks, not sure what Chen Cheng meant by asking him to dye his hair red?

"Russell, have you watched the videotape I sent you?"Chen Cheng asked again.

Westbrook, in front of the phone, laughed.

Good fellow!

For other rookies, it was the team boss who urged them to throw away the thermos cup and send GIF pictures of dunks to inspire their fighting spirit.

But you sent the videotape to your own boss and asked me to be your perimeter defense spearhead.

Chen Cheng sent Westbrook the videos of his NBA draft templates 'Tony Allen' and 'Gary Payton'.

In his previous life, Chen Cheng heard from media reports that Westbrook never watched videos after the game.

How can this be possible!

Bad habits must be corrected.

It is worth mentioning that this video is not someone else's It was not compiled, but was given to Chen Cheng by 'Gary Payton', the father of 'Gary Payton II' who will join the team tomorrow. Gary Payton

II, also known as Payton Jr., was this year's undrafted player. He was cut by the Rockets yesterday.

The Thunder, who have been short of players on the outside recently, inquired about Chen Cheng and decisively signed him.

To express his gratitude, Payton Sr. presented the Thunder with his outside defense teaching video.

As a marginal figure in the NBA, the news that Payton Jr. joined the Thunder did not even make a splash in the NBA.

For such an undrafted player, it's as if nothing had happened.

"Don't worry, Chen"

"When I come back, I will let you see a brand new me."

Russell Westbrook responded quickly.......

The next day.

Philadelphia.

Inside a mansion

"I won the game yesterday"
