NBA: Crazy Little Giant

Chapter 87

After hearing Payton's answer, Chen Cheng nodded seriously, as if to say,"Yes, you are right."

Soon, in the next round, Chen Cheng first interfered with Jabari Parker's breakthrough attack on the defensive end.

As the second pick in a big year for the draft, Jabari Parker has first-class physical talent. Before the draft, he was even hyped by the media as a combination of"James" and"Durant."

After the successful defense, Chen Cheng immediately entered the state of grabbing rebounds.

The Bucks' starting center tonight, Thorn-Mark, who was selected one pick before Chen Cheng, had already secured his position in advance.

Seeing this, Chen Cheng directly used his 134kg weight and the full strength of his lower limbs to squeeze over and violently grab the position.

""Plop!" Chen Cheng, who was a little too serious, accidentally knocked down the 101kg Thorn-Mark. Ugh....

Chen Cheng glanced at Thorn-Mark from the corner of his eye.

He really didn't mean to do that. He hadn't even really tried to grab the position, but the other party fell down.

But the referee didn't blow the whistle at this time, thinking that this was a normal physical confrontation.

Chen Cheng naturally didn't get entangled.

""Snap!" Chen Cheng grabbed the backboard with both hands, but at this moment, a pair of huge black hands appeared on the basketball.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, after entering the league, continued to grow physically. This season, he has grown to 211cm. His official wingspan is 224cm, but this is the wingspan he measured when he just entered the NBA. At that time, his wingspan was only 206cm.

Theoretically, his wingspan is definitely more than 226cm now.

In addition to his physical growth, Antetokounmpo's running and jumping abilities have also been strengthened to a certain extent.

Rushing for rebounds is his specialty.

Many big inside players will be rebounded by him.

Chen Cheng, who only has upper limb strength [91], can bench press 190kg at most. He wants to pull teeth out of a tiger's mouth?

After landing, Chen Cheng shook slightly, and Antetokounmpo returned empty-handed, and staggered to the ground.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations.

You know, the opponent is the Greek monster Giannis Antetokounmpo who can easily start from the three-point line and dunk over the big center.

But in front of Chen Cheng, he looked very weak....

At the same time, the Thunder's two outside strikers,

Gary Payton II and Victor Oladipo, had already started galloping.

They were extremely fast, and because they believed that Chen Cheng would definitely grab the rebound, they had already started before Chen Cheng had grabbed the rebound.

At this time, the two were almost unguarded.

Chen Cheng could pass the ball to anyone.

"With a"whoosh!", Chen Cheng passed the ball to Little Payton.

Little Payton would certainly not disappoint Chen Cheng.

""Bang!" With a sound, a slam dunk with a high degree of stretch and obvious lingering in the air violently smashed the basketball into the basket.

After the slam dunk, Payton did not roar or celebrate like other rookies. Payton chose to return to defense without looking back.

"Gary, great dunk. Chen Cheng said with a smile

"Chen, you are the one who is comfortable passing the ball."Little Payton smiled slightly, and then he devoted himself to defense seriously.

The conversation between the two made Audi Laoliu look a little weird. He even glanced at Chen Cheng with resentment, as if to say:"Sure enough, love will disappear."......

The Bucks' original cornerstone was Jabari Parker, but he was a bit fragile and had frequent injuries.

In addition, Antetokounmpo's growth was beyond expectations.

From the Bucks this season, it has been completely clear that Antetokounmpo is the team's first core.

The prototype of Antetokounmpo's Greek monster has begun to emerge.......

The Bucks attack.

Antetokounmpo holds the ball from the outside and runs a pick-and-roll with Bucks starting guard Matthew Dellavedova.

This is a common tactic used by Antetokounmpo in positional warfare. He runs a pick-and-roll with the smaller player, forces a switch, and then holds the ball and plays against the smaller player.

Although Payton Jr. is aggressive in defense and quick in his actions, he is powerless against Antetokounmpo, and he is crushed into the paint.

Just as Antetokounmpo stabilized his body and prepared to attack the basket, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Antetokounmpo's eyes widened!

He didn't expect the big guy's pace to be so fast.

"Don't be afraid!"

Antetokounmpo said to himself, calming down.

He scanned the court and found his teammate Thornmark in the corner.

Antetokounmpo's eyes lit up.

He grabbed the ball with one hand and wanted to throw it out quickly.

""Snap!"

Antetokounmpo was surprised to find that the basketball was stopped by a big hand.

""Hehe." Chen Cheng showed a sly smile.

This season, Antetokounmpo's passing ability is not good, even worse than his own.

During this period, more and more teams chose to double-team Chen Cheng. Although Chen Cheng's passing ability did not make a qualitative leap, he inadvertently learned how to double-team.

In addition, he watched the defensive videos sent by old Payton every day recently.

Chen Cheng, who possessed the [Giant Lord (Gold)], caught Antetokounmpo's passing intention and route in advance, and had already set up a trap to trap this adult Greek monster........

There are two ways for Antetokounmpo to attack:

1. In positional battles, he uses small pick-and-rolls to attack mismatches.

2. His invincible offensive and defensive transitions......

Regarding the first point, Chen Cheng's timely double-teaming made Antetokounmpo very uncomfortable. Originally, Chen Cheng was like a mountain, which blocked his vision. Moreover, Chen Cheng's prediction of the passing route was particularly accurate. The second point is that the offense and defense transition requires defensive rebounds to advance.

The problem is that the Thunder's positional warfare hit rate is frighteningly high, and what makes the Bucks speechless is that even if the opponent's outside line does not score, Chen Cheng can grab the offensive rebound.

Antetokounmpo's two vital points were strangled by Chen Cheng.

8 minutes and 21 seconds in the first quarter.

Antetokounmpo, who only scored 2 points and 1 rebound through a long rebound offensive conversion, ran over Payton Jr. to the basket after a pick-and-roll, and saw Chen Cheng coming over again.

At this time, he wanted to pass the ball.

But Chen Cheng's positioning was particularly good, and his whole person was on the passing route between him and Thorn-Mark.

Antetokounmpo quickly retreated to the three-point line when he saw it.

He chose a three-pointer

""Ding!" The sound of"

Strike the Iron!"
