Chapter 193 Defeating the Rocket
Turning heads, the Rockets attack.

As a Summer League team, several players on the Rockets court can be said to be both teammates and opponents.

Everyone wants to get more ball rights and more opportunities to perform.

This also led to the fact that the Rockets as a whole did not play well.

Point guard Ahearn advanced with the ball and called a pick-and-roll, but Hill, who came to pick-and-roll, was half-hearted, and the effect was very mediocre.

As a white point guard, Ahern's physical fitness is not outstanding, and his style of play is more inclined to a technical guard.

This also led to his gold rush journey to the CBA not going smoothly in the future. In the CBA, he only averaged 23 points per game, which was not much improvement compared to his data in the NBDL.

Although Liu Wei won't have the upper hand against him, he won't be beaten on the offensive end like in the last game.

However, although Sun Yue's offensive ability on the outside is not outstanding, his defensive ability is still reliable.

Moreover, he is similar in height to Du Zhe. This kind of physique is simply an advantage in the guard position.
In addition, there is Du Zhe, the DPOY, who wanders inside and outside the line and supports the defensive system. The perimeter defense of the entire Huaguo national team can be regarded as very tight.

The Rockets' three perimeter players couldn't find a better opportunity after some attempts.

In fact, in this case, it might be a better choice to give the ball to the inside.

After all, Dazhi is not too young, and he is really powerless in terms of interior defense.

However, several players of the Rockets did not cooperate at all, or most of the Summer League teams were in a mess.

Several people on the outside would rather make wasteful shots when there are no good opportunities than pass the ball easily.

The national team, on the other hand, implemented the "find Du Zhe" tactic extremely resolutely.

If Du Zhe has the opportunity to find Du Zhe, but if Du Zhe has no chance, then he should pass the ball to Du Zhe and let him create opportunities.

But now that Du Zhe came to the summer league, it was a complete dimension reduction blow, and the strength of other players was several grades lower than his.

In just one quarter, Du Zhe scored 10 points with a shooting percentage of 8 of 22.

The national team also achieved a good lead with a score of 33:21.

This made Deng Huade feel ecstatic. Unlike being suppressed throughout the previous game, Du Zhe showed unparalleled suppression power as soon as he came on the stage.

Although the rules of the NBA are slightly different from those of FIBA, if nothing else, Du Zhe's defense and three-pointers are definitely a killer in the international arena.

In the second quarter of the game, Du Zhe did not appear on the stage and sat on the field to watch the game.

The national team lineup has also been adjusted.

Zhu Ba and Wang Qi got the opportunity to play. Ah Lian and Sun Yue still stayed on the court to hold the line, while Ding Jinhui replaced Da Zhi.

It can be said that this lineup is not too weak for the national team.

And several other players have adapted to this fast-paced style of play after experiencing the baptism of the last game.

But the Rockets are still fighting on their own, but they firmly grasp the rhythm on the court.

Without Du Zhe to attract firepower, Ah Lian became the key target, which made it difficult for him to fight.

On the outside, Zhu Ba and Wang Qi are obviously uncomfortable facing the NBA's three-point line.

Even though the three-point distance in the NBA is only a little further than in international games, it still has a huge impact on pitchers who have developed muscle memory.

This also made the national team lose the three-point suppression in the first quarter.

At the end of the first half, the national team temporarily led 54:47.

Du Zhe still did not play in the third quarter. Deng Huade, who wanted to win a guaranteed victory, also fielded the strongest lineup except Du Zhe in this quarter.

Ah Lian, Dazhi, Zhu Ba, Wang Qi and Sun Yue all appeared on stage.

Under his passionate encouragement and mobilization, several players on the field played desperately.

With Ah Lian and Da Zhi joining forces in the interior, the two teams can barely evenly split the game.

After three quarters, the national team still maintained a slight lead with 78:74.

In the fourth quarter, Du Zhe finally went into battle again.

It's just that after three consecutive quarters, Ah Lian and Sun Yue had to take a break.

In the fourth quarter, Deng Huade could only send Ding Jinhui and Zhu Ba on the court.

However, with Du Zhe, the pinnacle of stability, on the court, even if the other players are slightly worse, it won't be a big problem for him.

In the last quarter, seeing a comeback in sight, the Rockets also began to target Du Zhe crazily.

At first, Du Zhe tried to distribute the ball to his teammates, but after playing for a while, he realized that this did not seem to be a good choice.

Zhu Ba has not been able to find his touch for a long time. Ding Jinhui is positioned as a blue-collar player in the national team. Liu Wei seems not to have enough physical strength until now, and it is difficult to achieve anything on the offensive end.

Only Dazhi can still help a little.

So in the next game, on the offensive end of the national team, it almost became a duo between Du Zhe and Da Zhi.

Fortunately, Du Zhe's offensive efficiency is quite high now, and he can't ignore the pursuit and interception of several fringe NBA players.

It can be said that in the last quarter, Du Zhe completely carried the sky on both offensive and defensive ends.

Several times, he was first on the offensive end against the defense and scored a goal abruptly.

Turning around and returning to the defensive end, he used tough defense to disrupt the opponent's offense, and even directly stole the ball to initiate a fast break.

With him as the core, other Chinese players on the field also have a sense of confidence, and at least they are more confident when playing.

At the last moment, Du Zhe, who was already in high spirits, directly used the ultimate trick to press the bottom of the box - a fade-away three-pointer, ending the game.

In the end, the Huaguo national team won the game with 106:97.

Du Zhe scored 42 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, completing his first appearance with the national team in an almost invincible manner.

Arab League also performed well, scoring 26 points and 12 rebounds, and Da Zhi also scored 15 points and 6 rebounds.

Of course, except for the three of them, the performance of other Chinese players was relatively lackluster, and no one even scored in double figures.

However, as of now, the Huaguo national team has achieved a record of 1 win and 1 loss in the Summer League, which still makes the fans quite satisfied.

Especially Du Zhe, although he only played half of the game, his dominance was something fans had never seen before.

Although Dayao was also a pillar in the national team at the beginning, Du Zhe can not only open up the space, but also attack the inside line, and he can defend from the inside to the outside. It can be said that his role on the field is stronger than that of Dayao. a notch.

Although Du Zhe's strong performance excited the fans, many fans also felt regretful.

It would be great if Dayao could stay healthy. A healthy Dayao would join forces with Du Zhe, and with players such as UAE Lian, Da Zhi, and Sun Yue, the competitiveness of the Chinese national team in the world arena would definitely reach another level. grade.
