Zhao Chen had no intention of competing with Miller on three-point shooting.
Zhao Chen's goal is to help the team win, not to show off his personal abilities with his opponents.

Zhao Chen has too many offensive options, and Zhao Chen is still crotchless.
This time, after shaking Tony Allen, Zhao Chen easily got rid of Tony Allen from the right side.
Zhao Chen's breakthrough and footwork combination are very smooth. Including Tony Allen, almost no one can guard him one-on-one.
Looking at Zhao Chen's back, Tony Allen felt a little lonely.
The defense he was proud of was torn to pieces after playing a little more than a playoff game with Zhao Chen.
No one can restrict Zhao Chen's retreat and his breakthrough at the same time.
Tony Allen wanted to chase after being passed over but had no idea.
Dribbling the ball inside, Zhao Chen challenged Gasol head-on.
Gasol raised his hands straight up, but he didn't dare to make a move. Zhao Chen made a tough layup.
The defensive side is passive compared to the offensive side. As long as Zhao Chen stands out like this, Gasol will be difficult to defend.
30 to 40.
The Grizzlies did not stop the game, but allowed the game to continue.
This time, after Conley and Gasol cooperated in the pick-and-roll, Conley still guided the ball to Miller in the bottom corner.

When everyone thought Westbrook would control the rhythm, Westbrook suddenly launched an attack. His first step passed Conley and reached the inside.
Zhao Chen quickly followed and stood in the bottom corner to support Westbrook.
Westbrook's impact instantly attracted the Grizzlies' four-man attack.
Seeing Westbrook in dire straits, he threw the ball out at the last moment.
Westbrook threw the ball a little hard, and Zhao Chen jumped high to reach the ball.
When he fished it out carefully, Gasol's defense was in place.

In order to shoot this ball, Zhao Chen fell down on the sidelines.
The basketball drew a high arc, bounced above the backboard, and then fell into the basket...
Dribbling the ball, dribbling the ball very well.
The ball did not hit the timer. Even though the Grizzlies players and coaches were yelling, the referee still signaled that the three-pointer was valid.
30 to 43.
Seeing this ball, Zhao Chen himself was so happy that he sat on the ground.
Westbrook came over and pulled Zhao Chen up and said, "Sorry, buddy, you took the blame for this ball."
"It's funny, I originally wanted to give him a foul, but he was too smart."
"Hey, that guy is a Defensive Player of the Year candidate after all, so he still has some experience."
...
Westbrook and Zhao Chen retreated and chatted very relaxedly.
"What a lucky shot."
"That's awesome, you can still lean back like this."
"Westbrook is too impulsive, Zhao Chen helps take over."
"Zhao Chen came from a career that was filled with troubles."
"It's crazy, this goal can be scored."

Unconsciously, Enna's screen debut went out like this.
Otakus posted screenshots of Enna on the Hupu forum.
Soon, Enna’s Weibo was dug out by netizens with powerful skills.

Judging from Weibo trends, there are not many beautiful female fans who love basketball so sincerely these days.
The otakus in Hupu screamed one after another.
Enna cannot be said to be a top beauty, but her overall appearance is above 90 points....
Relying on the attention of otakus, Enna's Weibo fans quickly increased from a few thousand to 200,000. This was just brought to her by a few broadcast scenes.
