Chapter 121
Chang Tiancheng came to the front court with the ball, and at this time it was still his former big brother James who defended him. This is the third time that the two have faced each other head-to-head, in the first few encounters, Chang Tiancheng did not take too much advantage, even James, who is nearly forty years old, can still rely on his own body to advantage and the experience of the old way and Chang Tiancheng have played back and forth.
Chang Tiancheng naturally understood that he couldn't go head-to-head with James, so after observing the offensive positions of his teammates in a circle, he chose to dribble to the wing, and then passed the ball to Booker who came out of the bottom corner on the other side.
In the face of Doncic's defense, Booker simply made a triple threat, and then broke through to the inside line, directly pulled up the mid-range shot, and the basketball hit it steadily.
Although this goal seems simple, the difficulty is actually not low, and to be able to throw such a ball so lightly, Booker has undoubtedly put a lot of effort behind the scenes to polish it.
After all, when the league started in the park in 20 years, he once single-handedly faced the defense of George and Leonard, and threw a mid-range shot.
Doncic receives the ball and immediately attacks the opposing half. Although there is another ball-handling core James on the team, Doncic clearly didn't think about handing the ball to James to handle.
James doesn't have any opinion on Doncic's approach, it's still in the regular season, of course he doesn't need to spend too much energy for a friendly game, now that Doncic has decided to take charge of himself, James feels that he might as well paddle and take the opportunity to take a good rest.
When Doncic arrived in the frontcourt, he first called Giannis to play a high-ground pick-and-roll with him, and cut inside himself.
Wembanyama had just seen this move a few days ago, so he naturally knew how to defend, so he moved to the interior one step ahead of time and focused his defense on Doncic.
After all, Giannis did not go down directly after blocking the demolition, but chose to cut out first, with his shooting ability, Wembanyama can certainly rest assured and boldly let him shoot.
But after Doncic broke to the basket, he didn't choose to continue to attack himself, but used a behind-the-back pass to pass the ball back into Giannis's hands.
After Giannis received the ball, he directly chose to stride straight to the basket, Chang Tiancheng saw that it was impossible for him to block a full-strength sprint Giannis, in order to avoid injury, he had to give up the offensive route.
Wembanyama also reacted that Giannis was about to eat the ball, but he was not as cautious as Chang Tiancheng, as if he didn't care that he might be injured, he jumped straight on the spot, and even tried to block Giannis directly.
Giannis's physical fitness is also extremely good in the NBA, and although Wembanyama's static talent is superior, the two are not at the same level when it comes to dynamic talent. How could Giannis, who was already at full speed, be afraid of Wembanyama's defense. I saw him jump against Wembanyama's defense, straighten his arm holding the ball, and make a slamming dunk pose.
After a loud bang from the hoop, Giannis pressed the basketball into the basket perfectly. Wembanyama, on the other hand, fell straight to the ground in the confrontation with Giannis.
Seeing this, Chang Tiancheng didn't care about defense, so he immediately ran to Wembanyama's side, squatted on the ground and asked Wembanyama, "Hey, how do you feel?" Wembanyama
lay on the ground and touched his waist: "It's okay, it's just that it hurts a little when I fall, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"Take it easy. Chang Tiancheng stretched out his hand and slowly pulled Wembanyama up from the floor, and after confirming that he really had no problems, he said with some reproach: "Victor, we are just playing a friendly match, and the main purpose is to help the Kuban boss try the lineup, why do you have to be so serious? Drummond has just been suspended, if you are also injured, what will happen to the team's interior line?"
"Hehe, I know." Wembanyama smiled and put on an understated expression, "But as soon as I saw Giannis, it was like challenging him, can you understand my feelings?" "
I can understand your feelings, but I still hope that next time you will understand Coach Popovich's heart attack." Seeing
Wembanyama fall to the ground, the other players also stopped their movements and looked over to the Spurs twins. It wasn't until we saw Wembanyama stand up and move around for a while that the stars were back in shape.
Sabonis Jr. sent the ball to Chang Tiancheng, Chang Tiancheng continued to advance, facing James in front of him, Chang Tiancheng chose to call Wembanyama to block for himself this time. He wanted to use this attack to get Wembanyama back on the field, so as to alleviate the embarrassment of being blocked by Giannis just now.
Wembanyama naturally understood what Chang Tiancheng meant, and the moment he received Chang Tiancheng's eyes, Wembanyama leaned over and made a cover for Chang Tiancheng.
After Chang Tiancheng bypassed the cover, he found that the opponent didn't think about changing the defense at all, but directly let LeBron forcibly squeeze past Wembanyama's block and continue to defend Chang Tiancheng.
Just when Chang Tiancheng was still thinking about how to play this ball next, Wembanyama, who cut outside the three-point line, did stretch out his hand and took the initiative to ask Chang Tiancheng for the ball.
Seeing that Wembanyama wanted to single out Giannis, although he was a little worried, Chang Tiancheng still passed the ball over, wanting to see what kind of offensive performance Wembanyama could play in the face of Giannis.
I saw Wembanyama first make a triple threat, and just wanted to directly pull up the mid-shot, Giannis directly posted it, completely sealing the space for Wembanyama to shoot.
Wembanyama tried several times to defend Giannis with his shoulder, but all failed, and in desperation, Wembanyama had to break through with the ball.
But Giannis, as a former best defensive player, still held a handle in the face of Wembanyama's slightly immature offense, and before Wembanyama could break through two steps, he reached out and slapped the basketball directly from his hand.
Jaylen Brown on the other side had a quick hand, took the basketball directly into his hand, and then quickly took the ball to launch a fast attack.
Fortunately, Embiid returned to defense quickly this time, and when Jaylen Brown just came to the three-point line, Embiid had already fallen into a defensive position and prevented Jaylen Brown from counterattacking this time.
Jaylen Brown first wanted to use speed to break through Embiid's defense, but Embiid's footsteps were not slow, and he directly followed Jaylen Brown, compressing Jaylen Brown's breakthrough space to the greatest extent.
