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

Chapter 25 New Mission

While Curry, who won the game, was busy with media interviews, Du Zhe had already packed up and returned to his room to rest.

Although each game in the summer league is only 40 minutes, the scheduled schedule is relatively dense.

In addition, Du Zhe not only had to defend Casspi, who was on the opposite position, but also helped defend Evans from time to time, even if he was a training madman, it would be too much for him.

"This Evans is too strong, like a bulldozer." Rubbing his sore shoulder, Du Zhe couldn't help complaining.

Now I can barely hold up Evans. So next season, won't I have to eat monsters like James and Anthony alive at the small forward position?
Thinking of these, Du Zhe suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

It seems like the summer league is over and I still have to practice hard...

While Du Zhe secretly made up his mind, he also secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Fortunately, among the opponents at the end of last season, I did not face those players who were too unfavorable, which gave me the opportunity to develop in such a long time.

And when he just lay down on the bed and was about to rest, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly started to move again.

"Summer League special mission released: mission goal - to achieve the achievement of Summer League victory, task reward - after completion, a lucky draw will be rewarded."

Different from the previous missions, the system rewards this time are not rich.

Du Zhe felt that the system seemed to be getting more and more stingy after not seeing him for a long time.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved. After all, this is just an ordinary summer league. In terms of importance and confrontation intensity, it can't even compare with the preseason games. It is interesting enough for the system to give some rewards.

On July 2009, 7, the Warriors ushered in a game against the Detroit Pistons after a one-day truce.

This Pistons team is led by the future South China Tiger star Will Bynum. The team also has this year's No. 15 pick - "Bankrupt Durant" Austin Daye, and the No. 39 pick Swede. ——Jonas Jerebko.

On the Warriors' lineup, there is an extra draft pick who performed well last season-Anthony Morrow.

In this game, the Pistons seemed to be trying a new style of play. They placed Austin Daye, who is 2 meters tall, directly at the small forward position, preparing to rely on his height advantage to suppress Du Zhe.

It can be said that Austin Daye has good shooting skills, and also has quite delicate outside skills at his height.

But unfortunately, his body is too thin. He is 2 meters tall and weighs only 11 kilograms, which is more than ten kilograms lighter than Du Zhe.

And his movement speed is also very average, it can only be said that his physical fitness is not outstanding.

It can be said that this kind of player who is skilled but not incomprehensible and has relatively average physical fitness is Du Zhe's favorite opponent.

In the subsequent game, Daye was, as expected, directly beaten by Du Zhe on both offense and defense.

On the offensive end, Daye only dared to float outside and use unstable mid-range shots and three-pointers to solve the battle.

On the defensive end, he became Du Zhe's background board again and again, using his tall body again and again to achieve Du Zhe's reputation as "the essence of pornographic movies".

At the last moment, Du Zhe used the stealer gloves to replicate the dunk skills of Deron Washington, a powerful dunker on the bench.

Although this guy is only the No. 59 pick at the bottom and has not left any traces in the NBA, he also participated in the 2008 NCAA Slam Dunk Contest, and even completed a 360-degree slam dunk, which is considered a good dunker.

In addition, Du Zhe's physical fitness and static talent are much better than Washington's, which leads to his dunks being even better than those of the original player.

In just 15 minutes, Du Zhe, with Curry's assist, dunked 3 times on Daye's head.

Curry, who watched the pass, was envious.

Although he dunked once in the last game, it was just an empty basket without any defender, and it was far less satisfying than Du Zhe's forced dunks one after another.

This made Curry decide that after the Summer League, he must ask Du Zhe for tips on dunking.

And with the elder Daye as the background, Du Zhe became even more infamous in Xia Lian.

Many players have heard about a Huaguo player who likes to dunk others, and some have even compared Du Zhe with Blake Griffin, the new No. [-] pick who is also good at dunking.

In the end, the more blossoming Warriors successfully defeated their opponents, with Morrow and Randolph both scoring 20+ points.

It was also rare for Du Zhe to eat dumplings from outside the three-point line. He scored 4 three-pointers and contributed 18 points, 1 rebound and 5 steals. It can be regarded as an efficient output on both offense and defense.

After the game against the Pistons, the next day, July 7, the Warriors began their contest with the Chicago Bulls non-stop.

Although Du Zhe didn't take much notice of the rewards given by the system this time, the team won three games in a row and the momentum was like a rainbow. Seeing that the task was in sight, he also decided to work harder.

In this game, Du Zhe is facing the No. 16 pick of this year, who is also the number one fighter in the NBA-James Johnson.

Fortunately, Johnson's skills are not linked to his personal force value, so Du Zhe can deal with it easily.

In the end, he scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, helping the team win again, and the thighs of this game were not surprisingly Morrow and Randolph.

Although Du Zhe also knows that Curry is far above the two in terms of talent and future achievements.

But in the last season, the duo, who had been fully trained in the regular season, appeared in the summer league as a blow to dimensionality reduction, directly showing that they were a level above other players.

On the contrary, although Curry also scored 17 points, his efficiency has dropped significantly in the last two games, and his average field goal percentage per game is only in the early [-]s.

It can only be said that this is the only way for every rookie player to adapt to the professional arena, and Curry is no exception.

However, after four games, Du Zhe's evaluation on the tactical board of the assistant coach has improved a lot.

"Du Zhe: The Chinese player has a keen defensive sense and high defensive enthusiasm on the defensive end. At the same time, his size advantage allows him to maintain good defensive pressure against most outside players."

"On the offensive end, he seems to be more inclined to score close to the basket. He has great physical fitness and can complete incredible dunks. Although his offensive desire is not high, his overall efficiency is not bad. Recently, he has also developed outside scoring ability, although not very stable. , but there is still room for improvement.”

However, these comments are only made for the summer league after all, and can only guarantee that Du Zhe will have a certain amount of playing time next season.

In order to become a stable rotation after the return of the Warriors' main force, Du Zhe needs to perform efficiently in the limited regular season time.

And one day later, Du Zhe also ushered in the final battle of the summer league.

On July 7, the Warriors vs. Hornets game officially started.
