NBA: Crazy Little Giant

"Okay, dear Mr. Chen, I will definitely come to watch your game in person. Look at you crying." Mallory Edens was not a pushover and immediately responded to Chen Cheng on Twitter.

Chen Cheng and the Bucks' daughter's online"bickering" has caused a heated discussion among fans online........

Two days later, the Oklahoma City Thunder played against the Utah Jazz at home.

In the last match against Gobert, although Chen Cheng had the upper hand, he had knocked Gobert over and dunked over Gobert during the game, but throughout the game, Chen Cheng's hit rate was not high.

There are many reasons, the most important of which is that his upper limb strength is not very good. At that time, his maximum bench press was only about 140kg.

But now Chen Cheng's maximum bench press has reached a terrifying 200kg. Not to mention in the small ball era, even in the 1990s when physical combat was advocated, Chen Cheng was a leader.

For this reason, Chen Cheng is very much looking forward to Gobert's arrival.

Really looking forward to it.

I want Gobert to test his growth.

Before the game.

The Jazz accepted media interviews.

The media who like to stir up trouble will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

"Rudy, as we all know, you are one of the best defensive big men in our league."The reporter first gave Gobert a compliment, and then asked:"Rudy, in tonight's game, how many points can Chen score under your defense?"

Rudy Gobert usually gritted his teeth when talking about Chen Cheng.

But facing such a direct and sharp question.

Rudy Gobert learned tonight and did not give a clear answer.

After all, after the last game, Gobert almost became a joke.

"I believe that with the efforts of my teammates and I tonight, we will definitely cause him trouble and make him feel very uncomfortable." Gobert said in a deep voice

"Then can you specify a specific number? Chen, how many points can you get tonight?"The reporter asked without giving up. Impatient

Gobert turned around and left.

At the same time, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: These reporters, do they really think I'm stupid?.......

The starting lineup of the Thunder tonight: the inspirational boy 'Little Payton', the anal-digging expert Robertson, the shoe king PJ Tucker, the sea king Steven Adams and the tyrant Chen.

Oladipo was rested in this game because of ankle pain due to excessive fatigue in training.

Little Payton, who almost had no ball to play a few days ago, took the starting position tonight.

In order to protect the rebounds, the Jazz sent out the inside twin towers of Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors.

Twin towers against twin towers!

By the way, the female referee among the three referees tonight is the one that Chen Cheng had teased before.

After the game started, the Jazz made changes in defense. They did not let Gobert go against Chen Cheng, but let Favors, who is 208cm tall and weighs 113kg, with a relatively stable lower body, go to the low post to go against Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng will naturally not be polite.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Bang!"

Chen Cheng crushed Favres from behind, like a heavy armored vehicle pushing him back step by step.

""Plop!" After several consecutive full-strength resistances, Favors finally couldn't hold on and fell down.

At this time, there was no one behind Chen Cheng, only the basket.

Seeing this, Gobert on the weak side was stunned. He clearly felt that this damn rookie seemed to be even more brutal.

Gobert, who didn't have time to think about it, let go of Adams who was open in the bottom corner and went directly to Chen Cheng.

This is also the way most teams defend Chen Cheng at present.

Chen Cheng on the offensive end is slow and slow to get up. When he is about to shoot, he comes to assist in defense and interfere, and at the same time, be prepared to protect the rebound.

Gobert is also slow!

But Gobert accelerates in a straight line!

Chen Cheng needs to turn around and jump before he can attack the basket.

The experience of the last match told Gobert that he would definitely have time.

However, just when Gobert came to assist in defense, a scene that made him dumbfounded happened.

Chen Cheng's back-turning speed is not like a 226cm player at all. This is comparable to Anthony Davis, who is known for his agility and 208cm tall.

And...

Chen Cheng's bounce speed also seemed to have increased.

After Chen Cheng turned around, he jumped up and dunked. This series of actions was much faster than Gobert had expected....

Gobert rushed over and Chen Cheng jumped up.

Gobert had no choice but to jump up as well.

""Bang!"

The two tall inside players had a head-on collision in the air.

In an instant, Gobert's body was crooked.

But for his own face and future maximum salary contract, Gobert tried his best to use his 236cm wingspan to interfere with Chen Cheng's shooting arm, even if it cost him a foul, he would not let Chen Cheng succeed.

However, Chen Cheng, who had a maximum bench press of 200kg, was hit by Gobert, but he was safe and sound and continued to make dunks.

""Bang!"

Chen Cheng violently and savagely stuffed the basketball into the basket. The basket was buzzing.

Rudy Gobert, who wanted to challenge Chen Cheng, almost turned over in the air and fell to the ground in a mess.

""Beep!" The referee whistled.

Defensive foul!

Chen Cheng stepped to the free throw line.

"Rudy, your defense tonight is like butter bread, soft and sweet. Chen Cheng trash-talked Gobert

"Humph." Gobert snorted coldly.......

The Jazz's offense is still centered around Gordon Haywood.

But now the Thunder's perimeter defense has been completely transformed.

Gordon Haywood's level is difficult to deal with.

PJ Tucker's toughness and his flexible hands make him very good at stealing the ball from the front.

Robertson's behind-the-back anal digging and his elusive appearances almost drove Gordon Haywood crazy.

Occasionally he would break into the inside and pass the ball to Gobert or Favors.

But this guy was tortured by the two beasts in the inside of the Thunder.

Gobert couldn't push Chen Cheng away, nor could he push Aquaman away.

Even if he could push Aquaman away a little after receiving the ball, Chen Cheng's rim protection and sweeping under the basket were too terrible.

"Gobert, my dear fellow..."

"Your offense is as soft as toilet paper."

After getting the block, Chen Cheng started to talk trash again.

Gobert's offense is very direct and simple. When he encounters a short inside player, he can use his physical advantage to force a layup. But Chen Cheng, who is 226cm tall, weighs 134kg, has full lower limbs and 200kg of upper limb strength, likes this simple inside attack too much. He is born to block shots for himself.......

"oh, my-god!"

"Rudy!"

"Did you accept the money from Oklahoma before the game?"

"In just one quarter, you were blocked by Chen Cheng 4 times."

Charles Barkley in the TMT live broadcast room couldn't help but complain at this time, Gobert was an undercover agent and spy of the Thunder, otherwise, how could he be so good to Chen Cheng.

After completing the fourth block on Gobert, Chen Cheng started to talk trash again.

"You remind me of that stripper from last night."

"You are all the same soft."

Chen Cheng's trash talk was never repeated, and Gobert was mad at him.

At this time, the Jazz coach couldn't stand it anymore and asked for a timeout.

During the timeout, Gobert told the beautiful referee about it.

""This damn guy has been insulting me during the game. Didn't you hear me?" Gobert complained.

The beautiful referee glanced at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng quickly smiled and said,"No, dear referee, Rudy must have heard it wrong. I was just reciting a poem."

Gobert was furious when he heard it.

You are too good at making up stories?

You call that reciting a poem?

Are you kidding?

The referee was also looking at Chen Cheng with suspicion.

Although trash talk is allowed on the court, it should not be too excessive.

"Ahem." Chen Cheng cleared his throat and began to sing:

Gobel, Gobel!

I am in agony of joyless sorrow,

I am tortured, I shall die, my burning heart is destroying me.

But my friendship is in vain;...

Chen Cheng chanted

"fuck!"

"What kind of shitty poem is this?"

Gobel heard Chen Cheng talking nonsense and interrupted him angrily.

"Chen, is this the poem"To Lila" from Pushkin's Poems?"The female referee looked at Chen Cheng with a strange expression.

"Yeah, that's right"

"I adapted it based on"To Lila."

Chen Cheng said with a smile.

This poem was indeed written by Pushkin, but Chen Cheng changed"To Lila" to"To Gobel" and"love" to"friendship".’

"Chen, I didn't expect you to like poetry."The female referee laughed.

"Well, although I can't write poetry, I like to chant it." Chen Cheng said with a smile.

Chen Cheng and the female referee talked about foreign poetry at this time, which made Rudy Gobert, who wanted to report it, look helpless....have no choice.
