At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 104 Du Zhe's Speed
But there was no turning back when he opened his bow. He immediately raised his heart and bent his bow, wanting to end the fast break with a tomahawk dunk.

And it was Du Zhe who defended him.

Although his take-off time is a little slower than Shannon Brown, fortunately he is tall and has long arms, so he does not suffer from the height of defense.

On the other side, Brown tried his best to hit the ball into the basket, but his small body was like hitting a wall against Du Zhe.

"Crack!" Brown just waved his hand holding the ball above his head when he was stopped by Du Zhe.

A precise and ruthless block blocked Brown's tomahawk dunk.

Subsequently, Brown, who lost his balance in the confrontation, flew directly out and fell to the ground.

On the other side, Du Zhe staggered back two steps and leaned on the basketball stand behind him.

This gave him an advantage.

At this time, Shannon Brown was still lying on the ground, and the only one closest to the ball was Du Zhe, so he flew up, grabbed the rebound, and launched a counterattack.

In the blink of an eye, the offensive and defensive situation changed, and the other players of the two teams could only slam on the brakes, turn around, and start running back.

Du Zhe dribbled the ball quickly forward and just passed Shannon Brown who was struggling to get up.

Brown was still in a dazed state at the moment, having been captivated by the big hat just now.

"What happened just now? How did Du Zhe catch up with me? Was I blocked? Where is my ball?"

After finally getting up, he could only look at Du Zhe's back, helpless.

The Warriors, playing five on four in the frontcourt, got an easy scoring opportunity after two simple passes. Watson, who came on the bench, made up for it and scored two points with a solid mid-range shot.

This smooth transition between offense and defense confused Nelson off the court.

He wasn't surprised by the team's cooperation.

"Has Du Zhe been so fast before?" Old Nelson rubbed his eyes, feeling that he seemed to be dizzy.

Although the speed of players when dribbling will be affected to a certain extent, Shannon Brown himself is a physical monster who can run and jump, and his speed is very fast even among defenders.

Just now, Du Zhe was clearly two positions behind Shannon Brown, but in the end he was able to overtake in a straight line, giving the opponent a solid head-on blow.

No matter how he thought about it, Old Nelson felt that the scene just now was a bit too outrageous.

As the coach of the team, in the old Nelson's impression, Du Zhe's speed can only be said to be not bad among outside players. After all, given his height and tonnage, it is really difficult for him to have lightning speed.

But the speed Du Zhe showed in his return to defense just now was even a little faster than Shannon Brown. This was simply beyond his imagination.

Has this kid improved again?Or was he not doing his best?

Nelson felt that Du Zhe's impact on him this season was too much.

In the remaining time of the first quarter, the two teams could do nothing but fight.

The final score was fixed at 24:33, and the Warriors were still 9 points behind.

Although the team took the lead, the Los Angeles fans at the scene were not excited at all.

Du Zhe is like a haze, hanging over the hearts of the Lakers, lingering.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams replaced the second team to start the game.

Du Zhe's player became the Lakers' backup small forward Adam Morrison.

Due to insufficient manpower, Lakers coach Jackson had to send him on the court.

As the "Basketball God" Jordan hand-picked the pick of the show, Morrison used his own strength to prove once again that Boss Joe's vision is as stable as ever.

Playing in the NBA for four years, Morrison played on and off and suffered from injuries.

And his statistics were even more appalling. After being traded to the Lakers, Morrison only averaged three or four points per game, and his shooting percentage was less than 4%. Even among role players, his strength was only average.

With Du Zhe's current strength, he would be completely crushed against him.

Du Zhe immediately activated the thief's glove skill, used Shannon Brown's dunk skill for nothing, and began to do his best.

Morrison, who had been out of battle for a long time, was helpless against Du Zhe. Only 3 minutes into the second quarter, Du Zhe completed a dunk on his head and added a three-pointer.

Seeing that Zen Master Phil Jackson couldn't resist it and didn't dare to push him too hard, he had no choice but to send Artest on the field again and let him target Du Zhe.

As a small forward, Artest is only 2 meters tall, but when he played for the Lakers, his weight was close to 01 kilograms.

This weight is terrifying among small forwards, and it is even heavier than many centers in the league.

With such a tonnage, Artest's confrontation is top-notch among outside players, but accordingly, his movement speed can only be said to be average.

As a result, although his single defense ability is excellent, he is somewhat powerless when facing pick-and-roll rotations.

After more than half a season of running-in, the Warriors' pick-and-roll, especially the build-and-roll tactics tailored for Du Zhe, have basically taken shape.

This alone is enough to make Artest drink a pot.

Coupled with Kobe's absence, the Lakers lost an excellent defender on the perimeter, which further magnified Artest's shortcomings.

And today Du Zhe's speed has increased a bit, which is simply worse for Artest.

Under the heavy pick-and-roll, it is even more difficult for Artest to keep up with the speeding Du Zhe.

Watching the Huaguo boy on the opposite side rely on running and pick-and-rolls to move around, constantly gaining shooting space, Artest's lungs exploded with anger.

What he feels now is that he has no strength, but the punch he throws out is like hitting cotton, with no effect at all.

This is also Du Zhe's strategy for dealing with Artest. Although you Artest's confrontation is strong, I just won't confront you head-on. I just can't use your abilities.

If you want to switch defense after the pick-and-roll, then Du Zhe doesn't care.

The other two outside Lakers, whether it is "Old Fish" Fisher or Shannon Brown, are much easier to deal with than Artest.

Artest, who had nowhere to use his strength, could only follow Du Zhe to eat exhaust gas, while feeling powerless and furious in his heart.

On the offensive end, due to Artest's poor performance today, Du Zhe didn't even bother to talk to him.

Du Zhe still focused on killing Shannon Brown. Although the opponent was only a role player, his touch in the first quarter was really good, so we should give full respect.

However, after being blocked by Du Zhe for a dunk in the first quarter, Brown's whole soul seemed to have been lost by the block. He was directly invisible during the entire second quarter and could not make any waves.
