"Dude, you shook me too." Durant shrugged.
Zhao Chen can make a three-pointer, which satisfies Durant.
If the ball was missed, then Zhao Chen would be greeted by Durant's cold face.
"Hey, I'll take advantage of it if I have one," Zhao Chen said.
The three-pointer also made Zhao Chen clenched his fists, and he became more confident about his future in the NBA.
Durant nodded and said nothing more.
.....
"Zhao Chen takes action!! Ouch! Three-pointer hit."
"Well done, the Thunder recovered three points."
The domestic commentator shouted excitedly.
"Haha, awesome, Zhao Chen has tied his career scoring high."
"I don't know why, but this shot seems to be more stable."
"The posture has changed a little and become more standard."
Fans also tapped their keyboards to analyze Zhao Chen's three-pointer.
Yes, this is the current situation of domestic basketball. A player's ordinary shooting in the NBA can be analyzed a lot.
It is conceivable how eager domestic fans are for domestic players to gain a foothold in the NBA.
On the court, Westbrook also came over to greet Zhao Chen: "Well done."
Originally, Westbrook wanted to blame Zhao Chen for not passing the ball to Durant, but in the end, Zhao Chen made the ball, so he could only swallow his complaints.
Heat offense.
Saw Chalmers dribbling forward.
Zhao Chen also suppressed his excitement a little and devoted himself to defense again.
Zhao Chen followed Ray Allen closely, constantly confronting him and guarding him personally.
Ray Allen frowned and raised his hands.
Zhao Chen's physical confrontation is good and his speed is very fast. The most important thing is that he seems to know what he is thinking.
Ray Allen's continuous running failed to get rid of Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen is very experienced in shooters' movements, and he can judge Ray Allen's movement intentions.
Seeing that Ray Allen didn't move out of position, Chalmers also gave the ball to James.
James holds the ball on the right side and calls for cover!
The Heat's players began to cross paths, and the Thunder's defense also changed, becoming an infinite defense change.
After James's series of organizations, Zhao Chen stood up to defend James.
Thompson is a top-notch 3D, and the defense he brings to Zhao Chen is also top-notch.
Zhao Chen's way of defending James was to retreat continuously, directly retreating to the three-point line.
Open your hands and lower your center of gravity.
Zhao Chen focused on preventing James' breakthrough rather than shooting.
James didn't care about Zhao Chen's defense. Zhao Chen's reputation was so low that James had no impression of him.
Zhao Chen didn't dare to be careless, his eyes kept staring at James' dribbler.
James dribbled the ball with his left hand and raised his right hand high, signaling everyone to pull away and that he was going to play singles.
It's impossible for Zhao Chen not to be nervous now. After all, he is facing the number one player in the active league.
However, Zhao Chen also gritted his teeth and waved his hands to indicate to his teammates not to use a double attack and just defend alone. James's passing ability is also very good. If he is allowed to pass the ball to Ray Allen, the defense will be in vain.
Fans at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami kept cheering James.
Seeing Zhao Chen's actions, James was a little surprised. Zhao Chen actually wanted to defend alone instead of attacking from a flank.
These days every newcomer really wants to beat him to become famous.
James changed direction and adjusted to the right, directly using this small space to dive!
"boom!"
James didn't use particularly strong force and collided directly with Zhao Chen.
The intensity of Zhao Chen's confrontation exceeded James' judgment. James did not knock Zhao Chen away, but was stuck by Zhao Chen.
James' breakthrough was blocked, so he immediately dribbled the ball to the left and then broke through again!
Zhao Chen gritted his teeth and followed.
James got stuck in Zhao Chen's position and took three steps slower to the left! ! !
James chose to end with a throw that he was not good at! !
Zhao Chen jumped hard.
When your fingertips touch the basketball, the trajectory of the basketball changes!
Cover arrived! !
The basketball hit the rim and bounced high.
Ibaka jumped up and grabbed the rebound firmly.
Zhao Chen was on guard.
"Well done."
"nice shot!!"
Brooks applauded from the sidelines. Zhao Chen's performance exceeded his expectations.
Zhao Chen didn't get a chance in the next few rounds of the first half.
As a marginalized person, Zhao Chen would have few opportunities if no special tactical arrangements were given to him.
Westbrook and Durant took all the Thunder's shots, but their touch was very poor and they were severely limited when facing James and Wade.
Although Zhao Chen had no chance to shoot, his role on the defensive end was demonstrated. Ray Allen did not hit another three-pointer at the end of the first half.
Although Zhao Chen's performance in the first half did not help him get a starting opportunity in the third quarter, Brooks noticed him. He thought Zhao Chen was in good condition today.
In the third quarter of the game, Zhao Chen, who was sitting off the court, hoped that the Thunder would widen the point difference quickly.
As long as there is garbage time, he will have another chance to appear.
Now Zhao Chen needs playing time to show his abilities.
The Heat did not disappoint Zhao Chen.
Wade used Haslem's pick-and-roll breakthrough to go in and score a layup.
Durant's dribble was interrupted by James and Wade, and James and Wade staged a "James and Wade Connection" fast break.
56 to 70
....
56 to 72
....
56 to 74
....
59 to 76.
Three quarters are over.
The score became 70 to 90.
After the third quarter, an angry Brooks replaced all five of the Thunder's starters and replaced them with the second lineup.
Because Lamb's overall performance was slightly normal, Brooks didn't think of Zhao Chen in the third quarter.
According to Brooks, Zhao Chen is a 3D player without the ability to attack independently, and he cannot be put on the court at critical moments.
However, Brooks doesn't care now, it's almost garbage time, and the performance of the starting lineup is really unsatisfactory.
After the fourth quarter started, the Thunder sent out pure substitutes.
Fisher, Reggie Jackson, Zhao Chen, Robertson, Adams.
Because the Heat were leading by many points, they also played a pure substitute lineup.
Cole, Jones, Beasley, Lewis, Anderson,
...........
"Oh, Zhao Chen is here again, come on!"
"We performed well in the first half, but unfortunately we didn't have a chance in the third quarter. We performed well in the fourth quarter."
“Try to get into the rotation for the next game.”
"It's better to come back to CBA after you develop your worth."
Many fans whose monthly salary is less than 10,000 yuan are worried about the work arrangement of millionaire Zhao Chen.
Although Zhao Chen had a good short-term performance, they still considered it lucky.
...
The battle begins at the end.
Derek Fisher dribbled the ball across half court.
According to previous opinions, the Thunder's lineup does not have many scoring points, and the most reliable one is Reggie Jackson.
As for Zhao Chen, no one takes him seriously yet. Although he hit a three-pointer in the first half and had several good defensive performances, it was far from enough for the Heat players to take him seriously.
Fisher is an organization-oriented defender. After coming to the Thunder from the Lakers, he took advantage of his experience and often helped the Thunder organize their offense.
Zhao Chen has a good relationship with Adams. Before playing, Zhao Chen greeted Adams and asked him to provide him with an off-ball screen.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Zhao Chen immediately began to move without the ball.
There is no chance when partnering with Shuang Shao, but there is a chance when partnering with a substitute.
Zhao Chen is very capable now, and Thompson's ability at his peak is not empty. He has a lot of running skills.
Adams helped Zhao Chen block Cole.
Adams' body was very solid, and Cole could only curse: "Fuck," and then watched Zhao Chen run to the 45-degree three-point line on the right side.
Fisher's pass came in time.
Zhao Chen made preparations before catching the ball. As soon as he picked up the ball, he kicked up his feet in a standard shooter's catch-and-shoot posture! !
Wonderful arc! !
"Uh-huh!"
73 to 90.
Three points passed through the net.
The cheers at the American Airlines Center subsided slightly.
Zhao Chen's three-point shot was too fast and the Heat's defense couldn't keep up.
After seeing the ball go in, Zhao Chen also raised three fingers and shook his head in celebration!
It’s really cool to hear the sound of a basketball passing through the net! !
