Ray----Allen! ! ! "
A loud DJ shout woke up Zhao Chen who was in a daze.
"Is that bald guy Ray Allen?"
Isn't this the NBA three-point marksman?
Zhao Chen opened his eyes in confusion and looked around at the dazzling lights, the wildly shouting audience, the players running on the field, and the photographers on the sidelines.
Before Zhao Chen could figure out the situation, a bunch of memories came to him.
"It turns out it's time travel." Zhao Chen murmured to himself.
Zhao Chen, who was just an ordinary office worker in 2021 in his previous life, discovered that he had become an NBA player in the 2013-14 season.
He is 2.02 meters tall and weighs 98KG. He plays the position of SG. His current team is the Ohio Lahome Thunder.
The Thunder selected him with the 58th pick in the second round this summer and signed a one-year contract with him with no fixed guarantee period.
The contract of a second-round pick is different from the contract of a first-round pick. There are no restrictions and it is basically the same as a free agent. Therefore, the initiative lies with the team.
After signing a non-guaranteed contract and entering the Thunder, Zhao Chen was positioned as a 3D player, serving as a substitute for Sefolosha and Lamb.
Zhao Chen is very handsome, but his skills are average. He has played 28 games this season. Zhao Chen has had very few playing opportunities, averaging only 1.4 points, 0.8 assists and 1.1 rebounds per game.
The Thunder are a strong team this season. Their current record is 28 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference and second only to the Heat in the league.
Sefolosha is absent due to injury, so Zhao Chen, the water cooler manager, has a chance to enter the squad for this game.
The competition on the field is very serious at this time, and Zhao Chen has not got a chance to play tonight.
The Thunder's opponent tonight is the Miami Heat, the team that defeated them in the Finals in the 2011-12 season.
The Miami Heat completed their title defense last season and won two consecutive championships. Their goal this season is to complete a three-peat dynasty.
It doesn't take much mobilization for the Thunder to beat the Heat, all of them work very hard.
Especially the Thunder duo of Durant and Westbrook.
Durant and Westbrook have both entered the peak period of their careers, and the "king combination" formed by the two shocked the entire league.
But helplessly, the opponent in this game is the more arrogant James and Way combination. The Heat are slightly stronger, and the situation on the court is not good for the Thunder.
Zhao Chen looked back to the court. It was DJ who woke him up just now when he called Ray Allen's name.
Ray Allen, who joined the Heat from the Celtics, played an important role in the Heat's championship last season. His desperate three-pointer helped the Heat drag the game with the Spurs into overtime and helped the Heat complete the final victory. .
Ray Allen is already 39 this year, but his offensive power cannot be underestimated. Facing the Thunder tonight, his three-pointers killed everyone.
As the three-point king in NBA history, Ray Allen has a career three-point shooting percentage of 40%, averaging 2.3 hits per game.
Ray Allen was in great shape today. Before the first half was over, he had made 6 three-pointers, completely blowing away the Thunder's perimeter defense.
Zhao Chen looked at Ray Allen with fiery eyes.
In his previous life, Zhao Chen had thought about playing in the NBA countless times. At this moment, he was here, one step away from logging into the game.
In this life, Zhao Chen feels that he can pursue his NBA dream.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks was very anxious on the sidelines. He deployed many defensive strategies, but he was unable to guard Ray Allen.
The Heat have James and Wade, allowing them to easily create open opportunities for Ray Allen. Ray Allen is the top shooter in the NBA. If he has a good touch, he can easily hit open three-pointers.
"Timeout!" Coach Brooks requested a timeout.
With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first half, the score was 40 to 55, and the Thunder trailed by 15 points.
If Ray Allen continues to shoot so easily, the game will be over.
Zhao Chen saw Coach Brooks constantly scolding Lamb. He was vaguely looking forward to being called by his name by the head coach, but he was also a little unsure.
Zhao Chen is 2.02 meters tall and weighs 98kg. His athletic ability and various talents are average, otherwise he would not even be able to play in the rotation.
Encountering such a hot Ray Allen, now Zhao Chen is also blown away when he goes on the court.
Zhao Chen feels that under the current situation, the Thunder can only count on the two big guys Durant and Westbrook to lead the team to a comeback.
Durant averaged 32 points, 7 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game this season!
Westbrook has been injured this season, averaging only 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game!
The two of them average more points per game than James and Wade combined...
While Zhao Chen was observing Westbrook and Durant, a shout broke his observation.
"Zhao, come on!" Coach Scott Brooks turned around and shouted at Zhao Chen after scolding 2K great Lamb.
Zhao Chen was stunned when he heard the words from head coach Brooks.
"Damn it! I'm really going to get fucked!"
Although he was looking forward to his debut, Zhao Chen couldn't help but not panic. When he came on the stage, he would either face Wade or Ray Allen.
This feeling will be very sour.
Other time-travelers still have the chance to survive and develop, but he doesn't have any time at all. It has been less than 5 minutes since he time-traveled.
Zhao Chen stopped his thoughts, forced himself to calm down, and walked towards Brooks.
Brooks held Zhao Chen's shoulders, pointed at Ray Allen and said, "Zhao, follow him. Don't let him take a three-pointer and cause trouble for him."
It was a helpless move for Brooks to use Zhao Chen. No one else could use the Thunder's No. 2 position.
Starting point guard Sefolosha is injured, and the Thunder have relatively few rotation personnel at shooting guard.
The shooting guard is now a pain point for the Thunder. Without James Harden, they have basically lost their independent offensive ability at this position and can only catch and shoot or defend.
Fortunately, Westbrook and Durant have been very strong in the past two years, and James Harden is still nostalgic in Houston nightclubs. There has not yet been any talk in the media that trading Harden is a shoddy operation.
The Thunder's continued improvement in performance also relieves Brooks from so much off-court pressure.
"OK!" Zhao Chen nodded nervously.
Westbrook and Kevin Durant only glanced at Zhao Chen and turned away.
They don't have much hope that Zhao Chen can guard Ray Allen. Zhao Chen is only a second-round pick. He is still a player with no fixed guaranteed contract and may be waived at any time.
They just hope that Zhao Chen can cause some trouble to Ray Allen just a little bit and not make him so comfortable.
Durant and Westbrook are actually dissatisfied with the Thunder trading James Harden.
Without Harden, the Thunder couldn't find a teammate they trusted at the second position.
The reason why the Thunder are now behind by as many as 15 points is because Durant and Westbrook encountered a crazy attack from the Heat, and no one could score the ball they separated.
If position 2 can score at this time, it will be a great support for the two of them.
After all, Durant and Westbrook are facing James and Wade, and these two guys are no less super giants than them.
Standing on the field, while Zhao Chen was still nervous.
"Dang, the "fusion system" is loaded. The host successfully fused Klay Thompson and merged the attributes and abilities of Klay Thompson at his peak."
