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

Chapter 38 The Collapse of Ellis
In the Warriors training hall, the team is competing in groups.

Although Du Zhe has been the starter in the last three games, he still forms a team with Randolph, Morrow and other substitutes in accordance with his past habits.

As the Warriors have made great strides recently and defeated the Cavaliers and Trail Blazers, two strong playoff teams last season, the team's momentum is high, and the training game is also in full swing.

At the end of the training game, Ellis tried to get past Morrow, who was facing him, for a layup, but under the pincer attack of Du Zhe who came to defend, the ball was blocked by Morrow Down, even Ellis, who lost his balance, fell to the ground.

Although it was a group confrontation, seeing Ellis fall, Du Zhe and Morrow hurried over to help each other up.

But as soon as the two stretched out their hands, they saw Ellis get up on his own, and then directly started to attack.

"It's just a training match. Is it necessary to make such a big move?"

"Are you rookies going crazy just to get ahead? You occasionally perform well for a few games and don't you take the veteran players seriously?"

"I have seen too many guys who are short-lived in the NBA. Compared with them, you are still far behind!"

Ellis's mouth was like a barrage of words, giving the two of them no chance to speak.

At first, Du Zhe thought that the action between himself and Morrow was too big, which made Ellis a little unhappy.

So after Ellis's attack was over, he was going to go over and apologize and settle the matter.

After all, the other party is also the boss of the team, and Du Zhe doesn't want to make things too rigid.

But what Ellis said next was a bit confusing.

"Since you don't care about me as the leader of the team, that's good! Let's have a one-on-one match, and I want you to see the true strength of NBA star players."

Du Zhe finally came to his senses now. Ellis felt that his position as the boss of the team had been shaken, and he was using the two of them to establish his power.

Although Du Zhe usually doesn't like to cause trouble and only likes to make a fortune in silence, but since others take the initiative to stir up trouble, he doesn't intend to let it go. Whether he can win or not is not yet known, but in terms of momentum, he doesn't want to give in first. .

He was just about to say a few harsh words and take on this one-on-one challenge, but the fiery-tempered Moreau couldn't help it and immediately responded: "Come on, who is afraid of who? I think you are the one Deliberately looking for trouble!"

This played right into Ellis's plan. To be honest, he was not completely sure about facing Du Zhe in a duel.

After all, compared with him, Du Zhe is not only a head taller, but also a lot stronger. His physical advantage is too obvious.

What's more, Du Zhe is also very good at defense. Everyone in the Warriors team knows this, which also makes Ellis jealous.

But now, Ellis is very confident against Moreau, who is similar in size to him.

Morrow is just a guy who can only shoot three-pointers, let's see how I handle him!Ellis felt ruthless in his heart.

Naturally, the group training will not work out. Although Maggette is a veteran, he only came to play for the Warriors last season, so he doesn't want to get involved because the team's foundation is not deep.

As for the other Warriors players, they are either rookies who have only entered the league in the past two years or trial players poached from the Development League. Even if they want to take care of it, they don't have the courage.

Looking at the two people who were about to start a one-on-one duel, Du Zhe silently stood aside, ready to wait and see the situation first.

The head-to-head match between Ellis and Morrow was based on the 5-point system and the rule of not exchanging possession for goals. As the team leader, Ellis was naturally the first to attack.

Nicknamed the "Mississippi Bullet," Ellis has an extremely fast first step that can tear apart defenses with ease.

This stunt allows him to have a very high breakthrough efficiency. Ellis used it to sweep the Quartet in high school. After entering the NBA, it has become the capital for him to settle down.

As a high-quality shooter, Morrow's defensive ability can only be said to be average, and his speed and confrontation are not outstanding. It can be said that the chance of winning against Ellis is not great.

Sure enough, in the first round, Ellis relied on his speed to eat Moreau alive and went straight to the basket to complete the layup.

After the goal, the ball was still in the hands of Ellis. In the second round, he just made a few simple changes of direction to sway Morrow, and easily scored another point.

After scoring the goal, Ellis glanced triumphantly at the other onlookers, both showing off and warning.

The next few rounds were simply re-enactments of the previous two rounds. It can be said that Morrow was sieved by Ellis.

After several rounds, his face was pale from the beating, and his entire face was frighteningly black.

"One-on-one quest released, quest content: win Monta Ellis in one-on-one, quest reward: one random gold-level talent."

"Special mission: zero seals for Monta Ellis. Mission reward: a talent upgrade card."

Du Zhe, who was watching the battle intently, suddenly heard the system prompt.

Looking at Ellis who was showing off his power on the field, he suddenly felt that this guy seemed to be a lot more pleasing to the eye. This was an experience package for his upgrade, so he couldn't let it go.

As Mo Luo was about to have his head shaved, Du Zhe knew it was time to do it himself.

"Okay Morrow, you come down and have a rest first, I'll play with our boss." Du Zhe deliberately emphasized the word boss, which sounded quite harsh in Ellis's ears.

But facing Du Zhe, Ellis was not as confident as before.

He could only pretend to be tough and said: "The one-on-one duel between me and Morrow hasn't decided yet? Why are you anxious? Besides, I'm not an iron man. I'm so tired after this round that I can't rest?"

Du Zhe heard a hint of strong-willedness in Ellis's tone, and he decided to add fire. After all, if Ellis avoided the fight, he would not be able to get the reward.

"Since the boss is tired, let's change the game. I still need to score 5 points to win, and you only need to score one goal on my head to win, how about it?"

After hearing Du Zhe's words, the muscles on Ellis's face twitched twice unconsciously.

Contempt, this is naked contempt... If you don't dare to accept such conditions, then you won't be able to survive in the team.

The other players also thought that Du Zhe was crazy. Although Ellis played more independently and was not very efficient, he was still a core player with an average of 20+ per game. How could he be defended and not even score a goal? ?
This Chinese player has always been low-key and humble, so why is he acting like he's gone crazy today?
"You asked for it!" Ellis only said this, and then took the ball and stood outside the three-point line.

This move made other players complain. Du Zhe had already given in like this, but Ellis actually wanted to take action first. This is too courageous...

But Ellis doesn't care about this. Here today, he just wants to re-establish his majesty as the boss of the team.

In the first ball, Ellis still broke through quickly with the ball, trying to throw Du Zhe away like he did with Morrow.

Du Zhe, who had just watched the game on the sidelines for a long time, already knew this move well, not to mention that he was not Moreau. It was not difficult for him to prevent Ellis' breakthrough.

"It's about to pass!" Seeing that Du Zhe seemed to be unable to keep up with his pace, Ellis was overjoyed and felt that victory was in sight.

But Du Zhe's speed exceeded his imagination. Ellis, who was just about to take off, was pushed back.

He hurriedly changed direction, trying to bypass the high wall in front of him, but the pair of long arms on the opposite side were like fishing nets, trapping his nimble fish.

Without paying attention, the ball in Ellis's hand was cut off by Du Zhe.

After successfully chipping the ball, Du Zhe quickly dribbled the ball outside the three-point line.

Turning around, after a slight pause, he directly shot a three-pointer.

Taking advantage of the space where Ellis could not react in time after his mistake, Du Zhe easily hit the ball.

A two-pointer in a heads-up is counted as one point, a three-pointer is counted as two points, and Du Zhe temporarily takes the lead at 2:0.

After the goal, the ball was still in Du Zhe's hands.

Knowing that his other offensive methods are limited, he can only choose to shoot another three-pointer from the outside.

Ellis, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed to interfere. With Du Zhe's ability to shoot three-pointers now, he missed the shot without accident.

Ellis, who got the ball again, wanted to try to break through Du Zhe, so he first dribbled the ball behind his back to break through, and then pulled the ball under his crotch to change direction. Every move was smooth.

Although other Warriors players were a little unhappy with Ellis's behavior just now, they had to admit that this guy's combination of man and ball was quite good.

However, these fancy moves were completely useless in Du Zhe's opinion. He chose to remain unchanged in response to all changes and quietly watched the other party fill the cup.

Sure enough, Ellis couldn't find an opportunity to take advantage of, so he could only choose the inefficient offensive method of standing on the spot.

With this ball, Du Zhe didn't even give him a chance to strike, and directly used a big shot to blow the ball out of the three-point line.

Ellis, who had eaten a cap, hurried beyond the three-point line to regain possession of the ball.

It's just that Du Zhe, who was behind him, had already followed closely. If he didn't pay attention, Ellis's ball was in Du Zhe's hands before it was hot.

Although he was still a little far away from the three-point line, Du Zhe, who had a full three-pointer with an open three-pointer, decided to take a gamble.

"Brush!" This ball hit easily.

"Isn't Du Zhe's three-pointer too accurate?"

"You can't even move the ball well. How can Ellis be the boss of the team?"

"I support Du Zhe as the speaker!"

……

Seeing that Du Zhe had won the match point, other players on the sidelines were whispering.

It's just that although their voices were small, Ellis could hear them clearly.

This made the already impatient Ellis even more angry. In the next round, he had to defend against Du Zhe's attack. Not only that, he also had to score a goal beautifully and silence the others.

Du Zhe, who held the match point, remained calm and continued to fire from outside the three-point line.

Although he missed the hit, Du Zhe didn't panic at all.

He knew all about Ellis's few moments. If there were other factors interfering on the field, it might not be easy to keep the opponent clean.

But now, in this one-on-one duel situation, he can focus all his energy on defending Ellis, and he is confident that he can make a player of Ellis' level get nothing.

So Du Zhe is not in a hurry now, just be steady and take his time shooting. As long as he scores one more goal, he will receive the reward from the system.

Anyway, his height and wingspan have a great advantage, and it is impossible for Ellis to completely block his shooting from the outside.

After another six or seven rounds, neither man's attacks succeeded.

Don't worry, just play slowly, it's just one ball, and if you take a few more shots, the ball will definitely score.

Du Zhe silently reminded himself in his heart, but don't act too hastily and let the cooked duck fly away.

After all, with his dribbling ability, if he is not careful, the ball will be stolen easily by the opponent.

As long as Ellis scores a goal, he loses. If he is really cut off, he may really capsize in the gutter.

However, Du Zhe's steady play was a completely different scene in the eyes of Ellis and other onlookers.

humiliation!This is absolutely humiliating!
Du Zhe obviously has the ability to end the match, but he has been deliberately delaying the end of the duel.

It's like a cat catching a mouse, enjoying the fun of playing with its prey.

And why does Du Zhe keep shooting from beyond the three-point line? What about his famous dunks?What about those fantastic moves against the Rockets?What about the breakthrough against the Cavaliers?Why don't you use it?The other onlookers were full of suspicion.

In this case, there is only one reasonable explanation, that is, in the eyes of Du Zhe, Ellis is not a player of the same level as him at all, and he is not worthy of his full strength.

Killing someone... but actually killing your heart!
"His! His! His!" Thinking of this, all the players present took a breath, and couldn't help but feel sympathy in their eyes when they looked at Ellis.

None of them could have imagined that this Chinese guy who was usually kind to others would turn out to be such a ruthless character.

Ellis seems to have hit a brick wall today!

A few more rounds passed, and the two sides still had no outcome, and Ellis's mentality gradually changed.

He could no longer bear Du Zhe's public execution.

Du Zhe, who hit the iron outside the three-point line again, returned the ball to Ellis.

But this time, Ellis did not launch an attack, but slammed the ball to the ground angrily.

"Du, I admit that I offended you a little today, but you don't want to humiliate me like this!"

"I've also heard of an old Chinese saying that says a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Today I admit defeat. You win!"

Seeing that Ellis gave up, Du Zhe was not at all happy, because the system hadn't reminded him that the mission was completed.

It seems that this last shot must be made, or Ellis can't be let go.

After making up his mind, he stretched out his hand to grab Ellis again, and said, "No, there is an old saying in China that says a gentleman is hard to follow. Now that the game has begun, we must clearly decide the winner." burden."

Seeing Du Zhe's reluctance, Ellis' face suddenly collapsed. He really regretted how he got into trouble with such a ruthless character.

It seems that today he, as the boss of the team, has completely come to an end... Ellis can't help but feel sad.
