Jokic jumped up and passed the ball to Zhao Chen first.
It can be seen that after Jokic lost weight, his sensitivity has improved a lot. Towns has good talent, but after all, it was only his debut, and the jump ball did not skip Jokic.
In the first round, Zhao Chen sent Staples Arena into cheers.
Zhao Chen took the ball and sprinted directly. Garnett wanted to stop Zhao Chen, but his speed was too slow for Zhao Chen and he was passed directly.
Wiggins was on the crossbar to help defend Zhao Chen. He was fast enough, but Zhao Chen just changed direction without slowing down and threw him away!
Downs chased Zhao Chen behind him, getting further and further away. Zhao Chen instantly destroyed the Timberwolves' defense.
Rushing into the three-point line, taking off, rising into the air, the highest point is almost the shoulder close to the basket!
There was a big windmill in the air!
"frame!"
The visual effects are perfect!
0 to 2.
Booker on the bench shouted instantly.
Also a scoring guard, Booker knew the gap between Zhao Chen and him in the first round.
Zhao Chen's physical talent is much better than him.
"Oh, Zhao is very fast. His offense is very simple. He just needs to take the ball and go towards the basket."
"The Timberwolves tried to stop Zhao's straight-line sprint, but failed."
"With lightning speed, Zhao Chen's attack ended too quickly."
Buckley was shouting too.
Wiggins felt a little numb when he saw this scene.
Others call Wiggins a proud man, but Wiggins feels that his talent is not worth mentioning in front of Zhao Chen.
What good would come of fighting a guy like this?
Wiggins's fighting spirit to defeat Zhao Chen only lasted for one round before he was discouraged.
"Zhao seems to love the basket more than last season, and his body has become stronger." Kenny Smith shouted.
Zhao Chen pulled the basket hard with his hands and then landed firmly on his feet.
With all attributes at MAX, Zhao Chen is the most physically gifted athlete on the planet.
The Timberwolves' defense itself was not very good, and Zhao Chen disintegrated easily.
Timberwolves offense.
Rubio looked serious. Judging from the first round, Zhao Chen was as unstoppable as he was last season.
This is bound to be a very difficult game.
Rubio was very careful to guard against Zhao Chen's steal.
But Zhao Chen kept using his stealing skills against Rubio.
As luck would have it, it was triggered quickly.
When Rubio turned around in the middle line.
"Snapped"
Zhao Chen directly stole the ball from Rubio one-on-one.
Zhao Chen's defense is very oppressive, which is why the point guard needs to be extremely careful when facing Zhao Chen.
"Zhao is the only one in the NBA who can stop a group of point guards who are very stable in dribbling one-on-one to the point where they dare not dribble in front of him." Kenny Smith said.
Zhao Chen's height, wingspan, and reaction speed are a nightmare for point guards defensively.
The point guard's mistakes are fatal to the team.
However, Wiggins and Garnett had not passed halftime yet, and the two quickly returned to defense.
Zhao Chen was hugged tightly by Garnett.
"Beep!"
Garnett is very experienced and would rather commit fouls than let Zhao Chen speed up.
"Don't let him charge. If you let him charge, there will be no fight." Garnett shouted to all the Timberwolves players after the foul.
Garnett has a lot of defensive experience that can be passed on to young players, which is why the Timberwolves recruited him again.
Zhao Chen was not impatient and gave the ball to Covington on the sideline, signaling for a restart.
Covington passes the ball to Jokic.
Jokic's ball-holding position is on the right side of the free throw line.
It was Prince who defended Jokic.
Jokic didn't hesitate and immediately hit Prince with his back.
Independent offense is the focus of Jokic's summer special training.
Prince couldn't defend against the crushing attack.
Jokic advanced to the inside with his back and turned around.
Jokic took away all the defenders and then threw the ball to the right side of the basket!
to whom?
Zhao Chen completed the cut from the right side and soared into the air. Zhao Chen forcefully knocked Garnett away and grabbed the ball with one hand in the air, and smashed it towards the basket! !
"frame!"
0 to 4.
Contributing two dunks at the beginning, Zhao Chen completely ignited the momentum in Staples Arena.
"Nikola, the pass was good, just right." Zhao Chen praised Jokic.
Jokic said shyly: "You know what I will do."
The two of them understand each other more and more.
Indeed, Jokic seemed to be attacking the ball himself, but those were all fake moves, and his purpose was still to score the ball.
Teammates also came over to high-five Zhao Chen to celebrate.
Lakers players have discovered that Zhao Chen attacks the basket more frequently.
Zhao Chen reduced his shots and strengthened his impact on the basket.
Shooting often requires creating space, but Zhao Chen does not need to attack like this.
Even though Garnett was on the inside, Zhao Chen knocked him away and completed the alley-oop!
This is a more domineering attack method than James.
Zhao Chen's idea in the opening game was to show off his physical talents to the fullest.
Zhao Chen also wanted to find out how powerful his current body was.
See how you are different from yourself when you were growing up.
Timberwolves offense.
Rubio was very steady and gave the ball to Wiggins who came to respond before halftime.
Let Brother Wolfberry go beat Kobe.
Wiggins gives the ball to Towns.
Towns pulled Tucker out and beat him.
Tucker was not familiar with Towns' offensive style and gave Towns a space at the top of the arc.
Towns' three-point shot!
"Uh-huh!"
3 to 4.
"He can shoot, don't give him a chance to shoot." Zhao Chen ordered the Lakers players.
Towns seems to be very talented, but his playing style is soft and he often likes to pull out to shoot.
Tucker and Jokic looked at each other and nodded.
Jokic sent the ball to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen slowly brought the ball across the half court.
"attack!"
"Dunk!"
"another one!"
Lakers fans continued to chant.
Arriving at the frontcourt, Wiggins was the one defending Zhao Chen.
Wiggins encouraged himself and said to Zhao Chen: "Zhao, I will guard you."
Zhao Chen said: "You don't need to give yourself psychological hints, you can't prevent it."
Wiggins didn't answer again.
Zhao Chen already possesses that potential deterrence.
This is the deterrent effect of Zhao Chen's impressive results in the past two seasons.
Zhao Chen greeted Jokic's cover.
Zhao Chen passed Wiggins on the right and rushed to the free throw line.
When everyone thought that Zhao Chen might pass the ball to Jokic, who was going downhill, Towns chose to speed up twice and break through Towns' defense!
Garnett was under the basket. He wanted to jump, but he couldn't.
Zhao Chen grabbed the ball with one hand, jumped into the air, and firmly suppressed Garnett.
Bend down to the limit and slam the ball into the basket!
"frame!"
3 to 6!
Zhao Chen dunked on Garnett, and then knocked Garnett directly to the baseline!
After landing, Zhao Chen stood still and stared at Garnett for a while.
That seems to be saying.
Wolf King!
you're old!
