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

Chapter 23 The first game of Summer League
Scanning around the Rockets, Du Zhe found that most of them were not worth using the Stealer's Gloves.

It's James White. Although the number of appearances of this old man in the NBA can be counted on one hand, the number of dunks has really exploded.

It can only be said that he really deserves to be the holder of the earthy nickname of "Ultimate Dunk King".

In the first half, Du Zhe led the team's second team to come off the bench. He got a chance to play in the second quarter. He played 12 minutes and got a lot of shots. He scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals at the small forward position. data.

But throughout the second quarter, his efficiency was very average, shooting only 7 of 2 shots, and 2 of 1 free throws.

This made the other trial players who played with him feel psychologically unbalanced.

They all lamented that people with different talents have different fates, and they murmured in their hearts that if this Chinese kid hadn't relied on the market behind him, how could he have signed a guaranteed contract in the NBA.

7 of 2 shots, this level can only be said that I can do it.

Fortunately, Curry, who played as the main player in the game, also played rubbish, shooting 7 of 1 shots, and invisibly shared a lot of firepower for Du Zhe.

During the intermission, Du Zhe saw that Curry, who was playing for the first time, seemed to be quite stressed. He sat there without saying a word, so he walked over and patted Curry on the shoulder.

"Man, stop making a bad face. It's just a summer league game. Nobody's going to judge you based on one game or half a game."

"Relax and enjoy the game. The most important thing as a shooter is to have confidence. You have to believe that there is nothing wrong with your shooting. The only problem is that the ball didn't go into the damn basket."

Du Zhe poured chicken soup on Curry, he felt that he had invited Doug Rivers to his upper body, and became a "chicken soup expert".

However, these words were not without effect. With some encouragement, Curry seemed to regain his confidence, and the decisiveness of the shooter appeared in his eyes again.

Before the start of the second half, the assistant coach also fine-tuned the team's lineup.

Du Zhe was arranged to play with the starting lineup to minimize the impact of his poor touch, and at the same time, he could better play his role on the defensive end to contain Budinger, who had a good touch.

Looking at the scoreboard data, Du Zhe found that although he and Curry were still playing averagely, but fortunately, the team's insider Ding Haishen Pin Randolph performed well, and the scores of the two teams were very tight.

The Rockets stand out here is the "slam dunk king" White and rookie Budinger, the two shot from inside and outside, stabilizing the situation.

"Looks like it's time to use the Stealer Gloves." Du Zhe immediately launched his skills on James White, copying his best dunk skills.

【Other dunk】: 90
Acquired Skills - Button Master (Gold Level)
And he is facing off against this year's second-round pick, Chase Budinger. This is a striker with obvious characteristics, strong offense and weak defense.

Budinger, who doesn't know much about the NBA, was a little surprised when Du Zhe appeared on the stage.

Apart from being more active on the defensive end in the first half, the Huaguo player didn't seem to have any outstanding points. Unexpectedly, the coach of the Warriors was really willing to give him a chance.

Presumably it was because of the Huaguo market behind this person... Budinger secretly speculated.

As a Rockets player, although Dayao had already been reimbursed when he joined the team, Budinger is still very clear about the value of the Huaguo market.

It seems that this is a cash cow that the Warriors hired in order to get a share of the Huaguo market. Budinger is relieved after thinking about it. It seems that the second half should be easier.

After all, he is different from this kind of player. His strength is beyond doubt, as evidenced by his 11 points in the first half with only a limited number of shots.

While speaking, Budinger called his teammates to pass the ball to him, ready to use the breakthrough in front of him to open up the situation.

But looking at his teammates who only knew how to fight alone, he could only shake his head helplessly.

"I don't even have the consciousness to resolutely hit the weakest point of the opponent. I really deserve to be in the Development League for the rest of my life!" Budinger couldn't help complaining.

After waiting patiently for several rounds, Budinger finally got the ball.

"The opportunity is here!" Budinger had this idea immediately.

It's a pity that Du Zhe wanted to go with him.

After receiving the ball, Budinger observed that Du Zhe did not leave much room for him to take action.

Then break through!After waiting for a few rounds, he managed to get the ball. Budinger didn't want to hand over the ball easily.

This is what Du Zhe was waiting for.

Budinger's dribbling was already normal. Facing the entanglement of Du Zhe's long arms, he immediately panicked. If he didn't pay attention, the ball in his hand was out of control.

"Crack!" Du Zhe's chipping ball was not sloppy.

Then Budinger saw a yellow figure, dribbled towards the frontcourt to kill.

This time Du Zhe did not choose to pass the ball, but increased his speed to the fastest.

Budinger, who was originally behind, had already come first, leaped high, and wanted to intercept it forcibly.

It's a pity that Du Zhe's dunk is far more explosive than Budinger's imagination.

"This is not a slam dunk, this is murder!" After seeing the slam dunk and Budinger flying out, the players and spectators at the scene had this thought in their minds.

Budinger was obviously dumbfounded by being dunked. Why does this Huaguo player seem to be able to dunk better than him...

Then Curry, with the cooperation of Du Zhe's pick-and-roll, also ushered in a wave of small explosions. In the next few rounds, he scored 7 points in a row, playing back and forth with the Rockets.

Seeing that the score was constantly stretched, Budinger, who had recovered, wanted to find his way back.

It's a pity that he is not sure about breaking through, and he has no room for shooting. He wants teammates to cooperate, but everyone only cares about scoring points.

After making two strong shots, he had no choice but to sigh.

On the other hand, Du Zhe, through the subtle cooperation with Curry, also successfully completed an alley-oop.

It can be regarded as proof with practical actions that his nickname - "Essence of Pornographic Films" is not for nothing.

And this time he dunked neatly, and Curry, who watched the pass, was also excited.

"Although this three-pointer is one more point than a dunk, I always feel that the dunk is more enjoyable." Curry, who set foot on the professional arena for the first time, had such an idea in his mind inexplicably.

最终杜哲在本场比赛中12次出手，命中5球，此外还有罚球4罚3中，砍下15分5板4断的数据。

The Warriors also successfully won the Rockets with a score of 80:73.

The number one contributor to the Warriors' victory was the team's center, last year's No. 14 pick, Anthony Randolph, who dominated the interior and scored 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Although Curry broke out in this game, his overall performance was still a little struggling. It seemed that he had not yet adapted to the fierce confrontation in the summer league. He shot 14 of 4 in the whole game, scored 16 points and 3 assists, which can be said to be efficient. Not high.

But everything is difficult at the beginning. For him, the first step of his career is finally a success.
