Zhao Chen’s footsteps are a show off!
After scoring this goal, Zhao Chen continued to improve his defensive intensity.
Timberwolves offense.
After all, Rubio is a very experienced point guard. The two of him and Towns cooperated well and passed the half smoothly.
This time Rubio gave the ball to Wiggins, who was cutting.
Wiggins also wanted to use his talent to overpower Covington, but Covington was smart enough to occupy a favorable position this time.
Wiggins' layup missed.
The rebound was taken by Towns, who was about to lay up. Jokic seized the opportunity.
"Snapped!"
Jokic gave Towns a big hat.
The rebound was taken by Zhao Chen, who directly passed a long pass to Booker who was about to leave.
Defending Booker was LaVine who retreated early.
Many fans thought Booker would stop and wait for his teammates after the ball was played, because they felt it would be difficult for the rookie to challenge LaVine one-on-one.
But Zhao Chen dared to give it to Booker because he had confidence in Booker's scoring ability.
Booker first gave LaVine a confrontation at high speed, and without changing his movements, he forced a hand change and scored a layup!
72 to 73.
The Lakers successfully took the lead.
This ball reflects Booker's man-ball combination ability and core strength.
Most players would lose their balance in a defensive situation like LaVine's, but Booker didn't.
"Good job!" Zhao Chen and Booker applauded, and then continued to defend Rubio.
Booker looked at Zhao Chen's figure and immediately defended the nearest LaVine.
Booker felt that he would do whatever Zhao Chen did, and it was definitely the right thing to do.
On the sidelines, watching this scene, Mitch Kupicek knew that Zhao Chen had made the right bet again.
This rookie Booker's ceiling will be higher than Randall!
The Timberwolves' offense comes again.
Rubio signaled to hold on.
In the frontcourt, after a series of passes and runs, LaVine handed the ball to Towns inside.
LaVine doesn't know much about Towns now, but he knows that his offense is very good.
It's okay to let Towns handle the ball, but there is a mismatch on Towns' side.
The one guarding Towns was Zhao Chen, who was changing positions.
Zhao Chen used his arms to support Tang Si's waist.
Seeing the obvious height advantage, Towns hit Zhao Chen from behind.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Downs used the breast-feeding lens, but Zhao Chen remained motionless and used his chest to resist Downs!
"Haha, this No. 1 pick doesn't know how high the sky is. He wants to use his strength to eat Zhao alive. This is too whimsical."
"The first reaction of other defensive players when encountering Zhao is to avoid him!"
On the court, Towns worked up all his energy and the picture appeared on the big screen.
"Kakaka!"
A famous scene is born.
A center hit Zhao Chen with a ferocious expression, but Zhao Chen was able to do it with ease!
With the opponent working so hard, Zhao Chen chose to withdraw his stool directly.
Towns immediately lost his point of support. Towns tried to control his body balance, but he exerted too much force.
Unable to control it, he ran directly to the sidelines!
He staggered and finally fell.
The basketball was thrown out by him, but it hit the lower edge of the basket.
The basketball bounced off and hit him in the face.
The referee decisively whistled for a walking violation! !
The ball belongs to the Lakers.
The fans at the scene burst into laughter! ! !
Zhao Chen was also happy. He didn't expect that Tang Si would really fall.
"Shaq's five biggest embarrassments now have a theme." Barkley said with a smile.
"Karl shouldn't try to challenge Zhao. It will just be humiliating. I think he will regret this scene in his debut game." Kenny Smith said.
On the court, Towns was pulled up by Wiggins and LaVine with a hot face.
This scene made Downs feel very embarrassed...
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen gave the ball to Jokic.
Jokic comes to organize the offense.
Although Jokic was in average shape in the first half, Zhao Chen still trusted him.
The Lakers' players have great awareness and are creating offensive opportunities for Zhao Chen with various off-ball screens.
The Timberwolves players also switched defenses continuously, just not giving Zhao Chen an opportunity to take an open shot.
In the end, Jokic gave the ball to Booker, and Booker gave the ball to Zhao Chen in the low post.
The one guarding Zhao Chen was Towns, the Timberwolves' top pick.
The positions of the two are almost the same as when Towns played Zhao Chen, but they just swap offense and defense.
Zhao Chen also chose to play Towns in a post-up game.
"boom!"
"boom!"
After all, Towns is the center, and Zhao Chen's advancement is not as fast as pushing and pulling.
But it is also progressing slowly.
Tang Si held back all his strength to block Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen turned right and stopped between the three-second zone and the free throw line.
Towns was shaken up.
Zhao Chen's right foot does not move on the axis, and he adjusts his left foot.
The Timberwolves' defense focused on preventing Zhao Chen's pass, because Zhao Chen seemed to be forced into a blind corner with this ball.
But Zhao Chen threw the ball toward the backboard and then broke out into a sprint.
Wiggins and LaVine took off at the same time, trying to intercept Zhao Chen's ball.
But they didn't succeed. Zhao Chen was faster and jumped higher.
Zhao Chen caught the rebound ball he threw towards the backboard with his right hand.
Take off into the air and bend to the extreme!
Basketball explodes!
"boom!!"
72 to 75! ! !
"Pause!!!" The Timberwolves were finally stopped.
After hearing the timeout whistle, Zhao Chen flashed his muscles toward the camera.
The self-throwing and self-dunking dunk made Zhao Chen feel very excited!
This is McGrady’s classic dunk move.
"Oh oh oh, nice dunk!"
"Throwing and buckling, Zhao Chen used his talent to crush the third young master of the Timberwolves!"
"It's not that the Timberwolves' defense is bad, but that Zhao Chen's offense is too strong."
“Awesome!!”
"66666!!"
"Idol!"
Countless student fans in China watching the game cheered loudly.
After returning from the timeout, the Timberwolves' offense once again stalled.
The Lakers' defensive intensity has completely increased.
The Timberwolves were immediately blocked for a 24-second violation.
Lakers offense.
Zhao Chen brought the ball to the frontcourt.
Zhao Chen gave the ball to Booker.
Booker wanted to pass the ball back to Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen signaled Booker to play it himself.
The reason why Zhao Chen brought in so many helpers was because he didn't want to get too tired.
It’s impossible to do every round by yourself.
Booker attacks LaVine.
Continuous footwork adjustments for dribbling.
Booker missed LaVine's rhythm and stopped mid-range!
"Uh-huh!"
72 to 77.
Facts have proved that Booker is also offensively efficient when he is confident.
Booker scored in double figures.
Booker nodded towards Zhao Chen to express his gratitude and encouragement! !
Timberwolves offense.
Wiggins used Towns' screen to hit the basket, causing Covington to foul again.
Wiggins stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws!
74 to 77.
Just when the Timberwolves felt they could breathe a sigh of relief, the Lakers' offense came back in full swing again.
Zhao Chen went one-on-two in the frontcourt, and a change of pace broke through the pinch between Rubio and Wiggins.
Towns raised his hands in the three-second zone, Zhao Chen stepped on the rhythm, collected the ball and kicked off the ground!
Zhao Chen grabbed the ball with his right hand and smashed it across from Towns! !
Towns didn't put up much resistance...
"frame!"
Zhao Chen's dunk is completed!
Zhao Chen's jump height was beyond Tang Si's expectation, and as a result, Tang Si was dunked!
74 to 79.
After completing the dunk, Zhao Chen said to Towns who was crying: "Rookie, welcome to the NBA!!"
Because this sentence was too close to the bottom line, it was recorded by the camera...
