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

Chapter 57 I Just Want Loel Deng to Go Down and Rest Early
"Bang!" The basket roared unwillingly, and Du Zhe on the court gained another piece of fine iron.

Old Nelson on the sidelines knew that under the restrictions of the Bulls, the young player was still a little uncomfortable.

And as the team's coach, all he can do is make some tactical adjustments and give Du Zhe more pick-and-rolls and screens.

As for whether he can overcome today's hurdle, it all depends on Du Zhe's own destiny.

In the old Nelson's view, today's challenge is just the beginning if he wants to become a super giant in the league.

If you can get through it, you will naturally skyrocket and become a star that everyone loves, and you may even have the opportunity to become one of the few high-profile stars in the league.

If you can't survive it, you have to accept the fact that you are just an ordinary role player.

But for Du Zhe, old Nelson is willing to give this young man some time to prove himself.

After all, the team's original goal this season was mainly training, and did not make too many demands on the record.

And as the number of games continues to increase, Du Zhe's status in Nelson's mind has also continued to increase. He has completed the triple jump from emergency substitute, to future puzzle, to suspected future cornerstone.

Although this transformation process spanned two seasons, after deducting the number of games Du Zhe was suspended, it actually amounted to less than thirty games!
Fortunately, before the end of the second quarter, Du Zhe finally hit a three-pointer, breaking the embarrassing situation of zero scoring.

At the end of the half, Du Zhe made one of three shots and scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and a steal.

And Luol Deng, who was facing him, didn't take advantage of it. After shooting 4 of 2 in the first quarter, his field goal percentage plummeted to 5 of 1 in the second quarter.

Even counting free throws, Luol Deng only scored 8 points in two quarters.

The Warriors, who have always advocated a fast pace, were unknowingly slowed down after meeting the steady Bulls.

The two teams scored 50:44 in the first half, and the Warriors temporarily led by 6 points.

After the start of the third quarter, Du Zhe temporarily took the position of shooting guard because Ellis did not appear on the court for the time being.

It's just that although the position has changed, the opposing players still haven't changed.

Bulls coach De Nagro seems to be determined, and he has no intention of replacing Luol Deng at all.

Since there was no opportunity on the offensive end, Du Zhe had no choice but to devote more energy to the defensive end.

And the Bulls, who were already relatively tough in defense, also refused to concede an inch, which turned the second half of the game between the two teams into a defensive battle.

To put it bluntly, it is called a defensive battle, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a fight with iron.

The two teams struck the iron with a bang, almost wanting to smash the opponent's basket.

It's just that compared with the Warriors who like to attack, the Bulls, who play steadily and are based on defense, obviously prefer this rhythm of the game.

After dragging the Warriors into their familiar rhythm, the Bulls can obviously use their rich experience to even out the gap in the score a little bit.

Seeing that the team's modest lead was being eroded a little bit, Old Nelson clenched his fists unconsciously, hesitating whether to call a timeout.

To be honest, the Bulls' tenacity far exceeded Nelson's expectations.

Although in this game, their head star Derrick Rose did not perform well, and the second scorer Luol Deng was also severely restricted by Du Zhe.

But the Bulls still clung to the score throughout the game. This tenacity is really daunting.

Thinking about it from his perspective, Nelson is not confident that the Warriors can still be so resilient in this situation. I can only say that this Warriors team still has a long way to go.

Thinking of this, he decided to call a timeout for the next round, so that the young players of the Warriors can stabilize their position a little bit.

Just when old Nelson walked towards the referee, ready to say hello in advance.

On the field, Du Zhe made a bold attack on the defensive end and successfully caused Rose's pass error.

With his sharp eyesight and quick hands, he quickly grabbed the ball and launched a counterattack.

Seeing that his team got a fast break opportunity, Old Nelson stopped unconsciously.

Du Zhe advanced very fast, but the speed of Ross and Luol Deng's return to defense was also not slow.

The two, one in front and one behind, just formed a 2-on-2 with Curry and Ellis who advanced to the frontcourt.

Du Zhe calmly distributed the ball to Curry, and at the same time pointed to the top of the basket with his finger.

Just now, while launching a fast break, he has imitated Rose's dunk skills with stealer gloves.

Although the number of dunks in Rose's career is not too many, it does not mean that his dunk ability is not good.

It can be said that each of Rose's dunks is of high quality and is a model of violent aesthetics.

After seeing Du Zhe's gesture, Curry had already understood it. He faced Rose's defense and made a shooting action.

It's just that shooting is just a cover, and Curry's purpose is to make fake shots and make real passes.

He knew that at this moment when the bayonet became popular, Du Zhe, who had maintained his health-preserving style for so long, would do his best.

Luol Deng on the other side was also attracted by Curry's shot. Looking at the arc drawn by the ball in the air, his hanging heart was relieved.

As an experienced player, he can be sure that this goal will not be scored no matter what.

But in the next second, a bad premonition enveloped Loel Deng's heart.

wrong!This is a fake cast!
After reacting, Luol Deng quickly ran to the basket desperately.

Oncoming is Du Zhe whose speed has been mentioned to be the fastest.

Luol Deng, who hurried back to the basket, had already lost the opportunity to defend, while Du Zhe jumped high with his speed.

Compared to Rose, Du Zhe is taller and has a longer wingspan, so although he can't reach Rose's jumping height, it doesn't have any impact.

"Bang!" This time, the sound that sounded over the United Center was no longer the dull sound of iron.

Du Zhe's air bombing, like dropping a bomb on the court, woke up the drowsy audience in this big iron battle.

However, the audience at the scene obviously did not understand Du Zhe's kindness.

As fans of the home team Bulls, they would only respond to Du Zhe's wanton celebration with boos.

Luol Deng, who was knocked into the air, held his chest and was pulled up by his teammates.

"Loel, are you okay? Why don't you take a break?" Rose couldn't help asking as he stood up and clutched his chest with a bitter look on his face.

"No...it's nothing, it's just that I was tricked by that Huaguo boy..." Loel Deng gritted his teeth and replied.

Ross saw that he seemed to be fine, so he said no more.

After all, after spending a season with Luol Deng, Rose already has considerable trust in the strength of his partner.

After getting up, Luol Deng looked at Du Zhe celebrating, and naturally he felt extremely dissatisfied.

This kid was clearly out of my defense for the whole game, and now he picked up a missed dunk on my head with a fast break, what's his air?
In the next round, Luol Deng wanted to get back on Du Zhe's head immediately.

It's just that he is not very confident in his outside shooting, so he can only choose to break through inside.

The "British Jordan" who had been calm for the whole game has now forgotten the coach's pre-match explanation.

Before the game, because he was worried about Du Zhe's stealing ability, Bulls coach De Nagro specifically told Luol Deng not to make too many sticky ball breakthroughs in front of Du Zhe.

But until now, under the dual effects of exhaustion and anger, Luol Deng was obviously on the upswing.

"Beautiful break!" Seeing that Du Zhe once again destroyed the Bulls' offense, the old Nelson on the bench couldn't help shouting.

The Bulls fans at the scene booed one after another.

But this time, the boos were somewhat mixed with dissatisfaction with the team.

The two leading players of the team were interrupted for two consecutive rounds.

Not only did it interrupt the team's lead momentum, but it also gave away two fast break opportunities to the opponent. The fans could not accept this sleepwalking performance.

And this time in the fast break, the only one standing in front of Du Zhe was Derrick Rose.

With a long way to the rim, Duzhe just took off, even though Rose tried to interfere with his dunk as much as possible.

But Du Zhe's movements were far smoother and more stretched than he had imagined, and a reverse dunk with a pull bar completely suppressed the Bulls' counterattack momentum.

Amidst the sighs of regret from the Bulls fans, the blacksmithing contest in the third quarter came to an end with Du Zhe's two dunks.

Back off the court, Du Zhe took a breather between the third and fourth quarters. The fast break sprints for several consecutive rounds were indeed quite exhausting.

However, compared with his opponent Luol Deng, Du Zhe's situation is obviously much better.

After all, Du Zhe only officially debuted in the second quarter. So far, he has only played for 10 to [-] minutes.

And what about Luol Deng?That was the first game, played for three quarters, and has not rested for one minute until now.

Du Zhe could clearly feel that when this iron man was marking his movement, his feet were already dragging a little.

But even so, after the opening of the fourth quarter, a panting Luol Deng appeared on the court.

Even the donkeys of the production team are not happy to do this!Du Zhe couldn't help feeling a little sympathy for this black-faced man.

But sympathy is sympathy, and if they really fight, Du Zhe will not show mercy at all.

Instead, taking advantage of Luol Deng's decline in physical fitness, he started running laps with him crazily.

With the double pick-and-roll between Randolph and Moore, Du Zhe finally got a chance to take action.

Although Noah saw that the situation was not good and wanted to make up for the defense, his position was a bit deep, and it was really difficult to quench the thirst of the nearer.

Du Zhe, who had already entered the microwave state, calmly made the three-pointer from the wing.

"Lol! Follow him, stick to him, don't let this Chinese get shooting space!" Seeing the victory fading away, Denagro on the sidelines shouted at the top of his lungs.

Scored 7 points in three rounds and contributed two steals. Du Zhe's small burst directly tilted the balance of victory.

The two teams, which were originally inseparable, have now reached the point of separation.

73:64, the Warriors' lead reached 9 points.

For the two teams that feel bad today, although the gap of 9 points is not much, it is indeed a bit difficult to get back.

And after Du Zhe broke out briefly, Luol Deng's marking on him obviously tightened up again.

And the rhythm of the two teams has entered the stage of fighting each other.

The Bulls' inside advantage became apparent at this time. The combination of Joakim Noah and Ty Gibson faced the Warriors inside and frequently rushed for offensive rebounds, winning many second offensive opportunities for the team.

Fortunately, for the Warriors, Du Zhe also relied on his own defensive ability to force the Bulls to make mistakes from the outside, which can be regarded as making up for it.

In the next offensive round, although Luol Deng stuck to his defense, Du Zhe could already hear that this "British Jordan" was obviously approaching the critical point of his physical fitness.

In the blink of an eye, Du Zhe gave a slight push, and then he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the inside lane.

Luol Deng, who was already a little heavy under his feet, was caught off guard and was half a beat slower.

Curry on the side also saw the opportunity and passed the ball to Du Zhe who cut in.

There is no one to defend for the time being, so Du Zhe chooses to dribble directly into the inside.

Even though the future first-defense player Joakim Noah was standing inside, Du Zhe still went in without hesitation.

No way, Du Zhe has no confidence in his mid-range shooting, so he would rather choose to go inside to face the challenge of the future first-defense players.

After reaching the inside line, Du Zhe directly plucked the green onions from the dry land, while Noah on the opposite side also jumped up almost at the same time.

After the jump, Du Zhe held the ball in both hands and turned his body backward to complete a bow.

Then there is the force of the mountains and rivers, and the basketball is smashed into the hoop on Joakim Noah's head.

This time, the Bulls fans did not boo, but instead blurted out exclamations!
The violence of this Chinese player's dunk is no less than their pride - Derrick Rose.

Along with the fans' exclamation, the referee's whistle also sounded.

Joakim Noah made a defensive foul and Du Zhe scored 2+1!

Looking at Du Zhe's free throw, Warriors coach Nelson shook his head helplessly.

This Hua country boy is good at everything, but playing on the court is a bit too healthy.

Obviously when he first debuted, he was still a violent dunker, but he ran to the three-point line to hit the three-point line.

If he hadn't been pushed into a hurry by the Bulls today, this kid might have to continue playing his health-preserving basketball from beyond the three-point line.

But the old Nelson is just complaining. After all, Du Zhe's current style of play is also very efficient and can effectively reduce the risk of injury. As the head coach, he actually supports it.

"Swipe!" Du Zhe easily scored the free throw.

And his violent 2+1 dunk just now completely extinguished the morale of the Bulls.

After that, neither the Bulls nor Luol Deng, who was at the bottom of his physical strength, could no longer stop Du Zhe's performance.

Seeing that there was no hope of a comeback, Bulls coach De Nagro finally showed mercy and let "British Jordan", who had played almost the entire game, leave the game early for a rest 3 minutes before the end.

Looking at Luol Deng whose face was full of dissatisfaction and disappointment, Du Zhe just wanted to express his feelings.

Deng, don't blame brother, brother is working so hard, isn't it to let you go down earlier to catch your breath?
