Chapter 55 Defeating the Nets
Trailing by 15 points at halftime, the Nets team had completely lost the high spirits they had at the start.

Even Lopez, the only player who performed well in the first half, was a little distracted.

After all, no matter how well he plays, he can't reverse the situation. He can only watch the team go from failure to failure. This kind of frustration is still a bit difficult to accept for a second-year show.

Now that the Warriors have a big lead, they have also adjusted the personnel on the field.

Ellis and Curry took a break in the backcourt and replaced them with a combination of CJ Watson and Anthony Morrow.

However, Du Zhe still stayed on the court. He only played for 13 minutes, and it was far from the time to rest.

Seeing that Du Zhe was not replaced, Coach Zhang also praised the Warriors coaching staff.

"I feel so hot against Du Zhe, so I should stay on the court and play more. This kind of rotation is reasonable."

"A conservative estimate is that Du Zhe will score [-] points this game. What do you think of the guidance?"

After hearing this, Director Yu looked troubled, and after pondering for a while, he gave a more rational answer.

"Forty points is probably a bit difficult. After all, the advantage on the court is quite large. When it enters garbage time, the coaching staff should arrange for Du Zhe to rest."

"But it's still very promising to hit 30 points in a single game."

In fact, 30 points in a single game is also a remarkable achievement for Hua Guo players.

As of this game, among the few Chinese players who have landed in the NBA, including Du Zhe, only Dayao has reached this level.

Even the UAE, which has been working hard in the NBA for several years, only scored 29 points in a single game.

If Du Zhe can break through 30 points today, he can be regarded as the second player under Yao.

…………

After scoring 20 points in the first half, Du Zhe found that his teammates became an unusual team in the second half.

To be precise, once his teammates got the ball, they immediately wanted to find Du Zhe's position and pass the ball to him.

After all, Curry scored 5 assists in the first half just by passing the ball to Du Zhe, and everyone saw it.

And Du Zhe did not live up to everyone's expectations for the time being. In just 2 minutes of the opening of the third quarter, he got rid of Chris Douglas Roberts' defense and hit two consecutive three-pointers.

This second-round pick, who is about the same age as Du Zhe, has been stunned by his three-pointers.

who I am?where am I?what happened?Why did the Chinese player on the opposite side score another three-pointer?
At this moment, a bunch of irrelevant thoughts popped up in Roberts' heart one after another.

And the local fans in New Jersey couldn't help but lower their heads and cover their eyes, and couldn't bear to watch the tragic situation of the team on the field.

It stands to reason that after the Nets' 18-game losing streak at the beginning, the Nets fans who still insist on coming to watch the game at home are all psychologically strong, and they shouldn't be so fragile.

To blame can only be blamed for the Nets starting too fast and leading too much, which gave the fans on the scene hope that the team can win consecutively.

But the sudden appearance of Du Zhe directly shattered the hopes of the Nets fans, turning their hopes into despair all of a sudden, without even leaving a bit of disappointment for the fans as a buffer.

The fans, who had experienced ups and downs, were unwilling to endure it and began to vent their dissatisfaction wantonly.

“The team played like a bunch of shit*”

"Vanderweghe dismisses get out of class!"

Fans with a more tempered attitude greeted the Nets players and coaching staff directly on the court.

"MVP! MVP!"

Fans with a slightly better temper were quite reserved. When they saw Du Zhe holding the ball, they yelled "MVP" at him.

At this time, the Nets players began to double-team Du Zhe at all costs in order to maintain their last bit of dignity.

It's just that this kind of spur-of-the-moment double-teaming not only failed to narrow the gap between the two teams, but instead made the Nets slip into the abyss a little bit.

After all, Watson and Morrow on the outside of the Warriors are not like Javier who can't shoot three-pointers. Both of them have been qualified three-point shooters at least in their careers.

With Du Zhe attracting firepower from the outside, the mouths of the two of them almost crooked. Now they don't even need to move around, and they can easily get shots from the outside.

Coupled with the fact that the overall strength of the Nets is really poor, Watson and Morrow didn't sweat much after playing for a full 10 minutes until they were about to be replaced.

Also substituted with them was Du Zhe, who played average in the third quarter and only scored 3 points on 2 of 6 shots.

But now the situation on the court can basically be said to be decided, 88:68. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were already leading by 20 points.

In this case, out of consideration for protecting the players, Nelson had to replace Du Zhe and take a rest.

Although the two commentators understood the adjustments made by the Warriors coaching staff, they still couldn't hide their disappointment in their voices.

"We can see that Du Zhe has been replaced and rested. The Warriors are currently leading by 20 points, and the game has entered garbage time."

"And Du Zhe's performance in this game is also very impressive. Up to now, he has scored 26 points." Director Yu briefly summarized Du Zhe's performance in this game.

Director Zhang said with some disappointment: "Oh! It's a pity that the Nets are too weak, and I don't know if Du Zhe will have a chance to play in the next game."

However, Director Zhang’s worries are unnecessary.

As a former NBA professional player, Nelson also knows that today is a critical moment when Du Zhe is expected to break through [-] points.

He just saw that after the Nets double-teamed Du Zhe, they temporarily replaced Du Zhe to avoid the limelight.

But Du Zhe didn't think so much, whether it's [-] points or [-] points, when his ability value rises later, he can easily win it.

So he has no resistance to being substituted.

Seeing how Du Zhe obeyed the tactical arrangement, Old Nelson appreciated him even more.

After all, when the hand feels hot and is about to break through the milestone, whoever is replaced will feel a little bit uncomfortable.

But Du Zhe did not complain, which in Nelson's eyes was undoubtedly a sign of maturity and professionalism.

In his decades of playing and coaching, Nelson has seen too many arrogant and proud men.

These players are often young and energetic, with their eyes above the top, relying on some talents and abilities to be arrogant and arrogant, and do not take their coaches and teammates seriously.

For this kind of player, I am afraid that he will complain non-stop from the beginning when he is replaced.

In the old Nelson's view, the professionalism of this kind of player is undoubtedly unqualified. Even if he can perform brilliantly for one or two seasons with his talent, it is only a flash in the pan after all.

And Du Zhe is obviously not this kind of player. He is tough and energetic on the court, but low-key professional off the court. Old Nelson now feels that he still underestimated this Chinese player before.

Du Zhe obviously has a maturity and stability that belies his age. It seems that this young man may really be the future leader of the Warriors.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, seeing that Du Zhe's physical strength was almost restored, Nelson waved his hand and sent him on the field again.

The opportunity has been placed in front of Du Zhe. Whether he can seize it depends on his own strength.

However, the current situation on the field has shown a one-sided state.

The Nets' substitutes, who have no comeback, have already lost their morale. They just want to put up some beautiful statistics on the court so that they can continue to appear in the league next year.

Faced with this situation, other players on the Warriors also wanted to be beautiful, and Du Zhe made a [-]-point breakthrough without much trouble.

In the end, 115:88, the Warriors slaughtered the Nets with a huge 27-point difference in New Jersey.

Although the game had long since lost its suspense, the two commentators watched the last quarter with trepidation. After seeing Du Zhe's score finally broke through [-] points, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

在比赛结束后,张指导更是兴奋地喊了出来:“31分,杜哲今天的数据是31分4板1助6断!可以说这是继大姚之后,华国球员再一次在NBA赛场拿到30+的高分!”

"Not only that, Du Zhe also had 6 steals in this game, which can be said to have directly destroyed the Nets on both offense and defense!" In addition to being excited, Director Yu also highlighted that Du Zhe's contribution on the defensive end cannot be ignored. .

Indeed, unlike those players who only focus on collecting statistics on the offensive end, Du Zhe scored extremely efficiently in this game. He scored 15 points in only 31 shots, and his true shooting percentage directly exceeded [-]%.

Not only that, but his self-contained defense system also has the ability to attract defense, which has revitalized the Warriors team.

除了杜哲以外,勇士队其他球员也几乎是人人得分上双,沃特森18分、库里16分、米基·摩尔16分、兰多夫13分、莫罗11分……

On the other hand, for the Nets, only Lopez performed well, scoring 15 points and 8 rebounds on 21-of-10 shooting.

The only person on the team who can help him is Courtney Lee, an outside shooter who has not been targeted by Du Zhe much. He hit 12 goals in 6 shots, scored 15 points and 8 rebounds, and his performance was fairly stable.

After the game, all major sports forums and portal websites in Huaguo began to report on Du Zhe's performance today.

Implicitly speaking, it is a report, but it is actually a way of exaggerating Du Zhe's performance.

Regarding Du Zhe's performance of 20 points in the first half, the media said—[Everyone passes on him!The Warriors scored the first high score at halftime, and the voice of "Du" resounded throughout the arena]

Some reporters regretted that Du Zhe only played for 10 minutes and did not achieve further breakthroughs. They wrote an article and pointed out-[Explore Adu's limit behind the high efficiency, what data can be obtained given enough time? 】

And Du Zhe's six steals naturally did not escape the editor's eyes - [The Warriors once again found the key to victory, Du Zhe singled out the entire Nets team with one stat]

Some sharp-eyed media also noticed Ellis' cheating performance, and naturally Ellis would inevitably be criticized by the Chinese media——[Du Zhe's firepower is fierce, but he only takes 10 shots. Still trying]

Of course, in addition to this, such as [The rise of a new star in China, will he be Dayao's strongest helper after he recovers from injury? 】

【Anger at Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki, revealing the unknown side of rising star Du Zhe】

【Shock!9 three-pointers in a single game, an NBA record that may be broken by a Huaguo player]... There are endless reports like this.

It can be said that all major domestic portals have joined this traffic carnival. Editors do everything they can to attract attention, using exaggerated titles.

However, unlike before, although this time the bragging was more ruthless than before, it did not arouse the disgust of the majority of netizens.

The reason is very simple. Strength and performance speak for themselves on the court, and Du Zhe's performance really conquered the fans.

Whether it is Tieba forums or articles on these portal websites, you can see fans posting and commenting on them.

"Rational discussion, whether Du Zhe has the level of an NBA All-Star now"

"What about those sunspots who say Zheshen can't fight? Do you dare to stand up now?"

"With Zheshen and Dayao, can the national team achieve another breakthrough next year?"

Various analysis and discussion posts are varied and emerge in endlessly.

Although occasionally some people are dissatisfied and say, "Isn't it just a matter of beating the Nets, who are at the bottom of the league, to eat dumplings? Why are you bragging so much?"

But it won't be long before more posts touting Du Zhe's performance will be squeezed down below, and will never be seen again.

After all, Du Zhe is now the second Chinese player to score 30+ points in the NBA, beating Ah Lian, Roughly, Daba, and Dasheng.

Coupled with Dayao's reimbursement, Daqi, Daba, and Dasheng have all left the NBA. It can be said that the expectations of Huaguo fans are all on A Lian and Du Zhe.

Compared with the UAE, Du Zhe played better, was more efficient, and his body was more resistant to grass, so he was naturally more favored by fans.

More importantly, compared with the Nets, who are at the bottom of this season, the Warriors after Du Zhe's return have a chance to hit the playoffs, which also makes fans pay more attention to Du Zhe.

…………

After the game was over, Du Zhe couldn't help asking when he saw that the system had been silent for a long time after he got a high score of 30+.

"System? I got thirty points in this game, isn't there any reward?"

"The host, please raise your requirements. As a player with system support, 30 points are not enough to activate system rewards." A moment later, the system's emotional voice finally sounded.

"Well, how many points do you need to activate the reward?" Hearing the system's explanation, Du Zhe was also a little curious about the system's reward standard.

"At least you have to surpass Dayao's highest score of 41 points and become the player with the highest score in a single game in the NBA among Huaguo players, in order to be rewarded for scoring." The tone of the system is still mechanical and cold.

Do you want to surpass Dayao... This system is quite thoughtful... Complaints are complaints, but this also gave Du Zhe peace of mind.

41 points is just 10 points more than today, and he will definitely reach it in a short time.

No!Let alone 41 points, even if it is 81 points, sooner or later he will be able to step on him.
