After scoring the goal, Zhao Chen opened his hands and kept pressing them down, indicating that the cheers and boos at the scene could be suppressed.
This was an away game, and the away fans obviously wouldn't see Zhao Chen being so arrogant, so they immediately booed.
"If you work harder, you can guard against me." Zhao Chen smiled at McAway.
Seeing that Zhao Chen could hit a step-back three-pointer like this, McAway's scalp felt a little numb, but he didn't fight back.
The 76ers attack.
McAway held the ball forward, and Zhao Chen's defense made McAway feel very uncomfortable. He did not dare to easily single out Zhao Chen.
McAway elected to call Thaddeus Young's screen.
Thaddeus Young sets a pick-and-roll for McAway.
After the pick-and-roll, Robertson and Zhao Chen switched defenses, and McAway chose to pass the ball to Thaddeus Young outside the right three-point line.
McAway chose to let Thaddeus Yang take advantage of Zhao Chen's misalignment.
Thaddeus Young threatened with three consecutive attempts.
Zhao Chen kept thinking about Thaddeus Young's characteristics, and finally, Zhao Chen made a very big defensive choice.
Zhao Chen chose to take two steps back, and then shouted to Thaddeus Yang: "Vote, I'll vote for you."
Facing this kind of brush who is similar to Josh Smith and has no three-point shooting ability, but likes to shoot three-pointers, Zhao Chen decisively made the shot.
Zhao Chen seems to be more decisive than Wei Shao in the training matches.
Zhao Chen was even more worried that Thaddeus Yang would use this space to rush up, and he would not be able to defend himself.
But Thaddeus Young was obviously stimulated. He felt humiliated and immediately wanted to prove his three-point shooting ability.
Step back laterally, collect the ball, and shoot a three-pointer.
Thaddeus Young's speed was relatively slow. When he stepped back to collect the ball, Zhao Chen pounced forward. Zhao Chen had time to react.
Thaddeus Young's three-point shot! !
Seeing Thaddeus Young playing like this, Coach Brown was a little angry.
The advantage of the 76ers tonight lies in their inside rush for rebounds. The inside was pulled out to shoot three-pointers, so how could they rush for the ball?
After Zhao Chen made the save, he immediately ran back and went straight back to protect the rebound.
Zhao Chen's rebounding ability mainly comes from skill bonuses, and coupled with his height, he is considered to be at a good level in the defender league.
Adams stuck Henry firmly behind him, and Zhao Chen continued to get a backcourt rebound.
After Zhao Chen got the rebound, he quickly gave it to Fisher.
Fisher dribbled forward and looked like he was working hard, but the speed was really too slow....
Fisher was very smart. He continued to feed Zhao Chen the ball after halftime.
Adams took advantage of the screen and Zhao Chen took a step forward with the help of the screen.
A pull-up jumper from the high post on the right side of the free throw line! !
Zhao Chen's emergency stop shot felt soft! ! !
"Shua!!"
21 to 24.
Zhao Chen led the Thunder to a 7-0 victory over the 76ers.
"Zhao, your mid-range is really stable, teach me." Robertson said to Zhao Chen.
"No problem." Zhao Chen smiled.
Robertson's current offensive method is counterattack and layup. He has always wanted to practice mid-range shooting, but he can't learn Durant's method. Robertson feels that he can imitate Zhao Chen's shot a little.
It's just that Robertson doesn't have much shooting talent. Zhao Chen has taught him three-pointers before, but without success.
The 76ers offense.
Coach Brown did not call timeout and the score was still ahead. He chose to let the players on the field decide the game.
Instead of giving the ball to Thaddeus Young, McAway passed the ball to Evan Turner.
Turner was also quite depressed, having just failed to catch the ball in several consecutive rounds.
Turner is a wing player who excels in rebounding and passing. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective.
However, Turner's shooting and breakthrough are mediocre, and his scoring efficiency is very poor.
Turner hit Robertson with his back on the baseline.
After two consecutive steps with his back, Turner couldn't move and chose to turn over and shoot a jumper.
Turner is left-handed and his jump shot is very slow. Zhao Chen seized the opportunity and quickly jumped up on the right side to help defend.
"Snapped!"
Zhao Chen immediately gave Turner a hot pot from the side.
Confronting Robertson has already made Turner miserable, and now Zhao Chen is here again, and he is also helpless.
Zhao Chen's boldness to help defend Turner is also related to McAway's lack of three-point shooting ability.
McAway's three-point shooting percentage is too low, Zhao Chen can just let it go.
The ball blocked by Zhao Chen was caught by Adams.
The Thunder's offense comes again.
Zhao Chen advanced with the ball and was fouled.
The 76ers began to rotate personnel. They replaced several main players such as Thaddeus Young and Turner, and asked McAway to bring a few substitutes on the court.
Coach Brown feels that these veterans have interfered with McAway's growth....
"Just guard against his three-pointers and force him to attack with the ball." Brown told McAvoy.
The impression that Zhao Chen left on everyone is that his offensive ability with the ball is slightly worse.
Coach Brown obviously hasn't realized that a player averaging 30 points per game cannot be good at only one offensive method.
The Thunder continued to attack.
Zhao Chen continued to lead the Thunder's offense.
McAway defended Zhao Chen alone.
Zhao Chen chose to cover.
Adams brought it up, and Zhao Chen dribbled the ball to the right and broke through.
Seeing that the defense failed to catch up, Zhao Chen immediately stopped and scored another two points.
Without pressure, Zhao Chen felt so comfortable playing.
"Uh-huh!"
23 to 24.
When Coach Brown was hesitating whether to time out, McAway served a long ball from the baseline to Henry in the frontcourt.
Henry singled out Adams one-on-one for a layup.
23 to 26.
The 76ers' offense finally responded.
The Thunder attack comes again.
Zhao Chen continuously passed the ball, and Zhao Chen was under great pressure, but other players on the field lacked the ability to attack independently, and the ball eventually returned to Zhao Chen.
Seeing that the attack time was only 8 seconds, Zhao Chen continued to signal to pull away! !
Facing McAway's defense, dribbling under the crotch in singles is the most appropriate way.
Zhao Chen felt that Brother Deng’s trick was really useful and it kept feeling good on his crotch.
After continuous dribbling at the hip, Zhao Chen stepped back and faced McAway's defense and shot a three-pointer from the highest point! !
McAway gave Zhao Chen enough interference, but Zhao Chen's touch of the ball did not change at all.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc! !
"Uh-huh!"
No solution hit!
26 to 26.
Zhao Chen is becoming more and more proficient in his step-back three-pointers.
"Oh, there's no way to retreat."
"Zhao Chen's singles performance is really cool and he's progressing too fast."
"McCaw couldn't guard Zhao Chen at all, and was beaten by Zhao Chen while he was hanging."
"Zhao Chen's step-back three-pointers and ball-handling abilities have improved in a way that can be seen with the naked eye."
"How dare Mike Wei defend Zhao Chen alone!"
"Zhao Chen is going to explode tonight. Without Westbrook and Durant, his right to take shots is not restricted."
Fans at home and abroad are fascinated by Zhao Chen's unsolvable retreat.
"You can't guard against me." Zhao Chen shouted at McAway.
McAway did not reply to Zhao Chen. It turned out that he really couldn't guard against it.
The first quarter ended quickly, with the score fixed at 28-28.
Since Zhao Chen came on the scene, all of the Thunder's scoring has something to do with Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen scored 12 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, and he played extremely efficiently.
Brooks praised Zhao Chen during the break: "He played very well, just keep playing like this and continue to attack with the ball."
Brooks thought that Zhao Chen could be trained as a point guard. Zhao Chen's ball-holding ability didn't seem as bad as before.
Zhao Chen was also very excited, it was a feeling that his strength was recognized.
