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

Chapter 78
On the field, JR Smith's eyes were bleary, and he didn't seem to notice Du Zhe's appearance at all.

Du Zhe seriously suspected that this guy either didn't sleep at all last night or was too high.

Just as he trotted onto the field, JR Smith, who was still sleepy, suddenly regained a gleam of clarity in his eyes.

A trace of doubt and surprise flashed in those godless eyes.

Looking at JR Smith, whose eyes were staring like brass bells, Du Zhe felt a little unhappy, and secretly said: "It's true that I'm a little handsome, but I feel very unhappy when you stare at me like this."

When the two armies are at war, in terms of momentum, they cannot lose first.

Du Zhe has never been persuaded by the death stares of Kobe and James, and he will not be used to a little JR Smith.

Just as he was about to stare back, he saw JR Smith lowering his head in deep thought.

"Like! It's so similar!" JR swallowed and muttered to himself.

From Du Zhe's body, he felt a familiar aura.

This temperament is so similar to his elder brother Anthony who has a gangster background, it can make people shudder and fear.

Even in JR Smith's perception, Du Zhe gave him a stronger sense of oppression than his elder brother Anthony!
Under the halo of Du Zhe being a villain in the stadium, JR Smith, a member of society, had an illusion. The previous tabloid reports might be true, and Du Zhe might really have a gang background!

Fortunately, today is just playing ball, not fighting.

As a battle-tested stunner, JR Smith quickly adjusted from the shock.

With less than 1 minute left in the first quarter, JR Smith suddenly started after taking the ball, trying to get inside.

After finding that he couldn't get rid of Du Zhe's frontal defense, he still used a very strange posture to make a difficult shot.

It can be said that just doing this action requires extremely strong physical fitness. From this point, it can be seen that JR Smith still has some strength.

But Du Zhe's defense was overwhelming, and with just a simple and crude block, the basketball that had just taken off was sent back.

The ball hit the floor, and Kenyon Martin lunged out to protect the offensive rebound.

Then he passed the ball and wanted his teammates to reorganize the offense.

But JR Smith did not hesitate at all. Facing Du Zhe's defense, he just dribbled the ball a few times, and then made a three-pointer with a step back.

"Kang Dang!" It was another shot of fine iron.

It took only 20 seconds for two consecutive irons, and Du Zhe had an intuitive understanding of the level of JR Smith's nerve knife.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors temporarily trailed by three points at 30:33.

After a short break, the competition between the two teams continued in the second quarter.

In this section, JR Smith still does not change his true nature of the nerve knife, and against Du Zhe's defense is a chaotic battle.

But his random punches, like hitting cotton, were easily resolved one by one by Du Zhe's unpretentious defense.

6 of 1 in a single quarter, and only hit a three-pointer with a step back. This is all JR Smith gained.

However, since it is normal for him to play ghosts and ghosts, other teammates of the Nuggets have long been familiar with this.

Adhering to the principle of "you hit yours, I hit mine", the other players of the Nuggets have a good efficiency, with a shooting percentage of more than 31%, scoring [-] points in a single quarter.

However, after the Warriors increased their speed, the entire team, especially Curry and Du Zhe, also got more shooting opportunities.

Curry made 5 of 5 shots in a single quarter and hit 2 three-pointers again.

After Du Zhe activated the Stealer Gloves and used JR Smith's outside strong three-point shooting skills for nothing, he also moved wildly and kept firing.

He made 5 of 3 shots in a single quarter and scored 9 points.

After the first half, the Warriors took the lead 65:64.

In this half, the biggest hero of the Warriors was Stephen Curry. He made 10 of 8 shots, scored 20 points, and even missed shots from beyond the three-point line.

Although the team took the lead, Du Zhe did not feel relaxed at all.

The power of the plateau's home court seems to be stronger than he imagined.

He didn't feel much in his usual daily activities, but after a real fight on the court, he could feel his physical energy passing by rapidly, and he even felt a little out of breath.

Moreover, in addition to defending JR Smith, he also needs to assist defense from time to time, coupled with various sprint counterattacks, Du Zhe can be said to be one of the most active players in the entire Warriors team.

Old Nelson noticed that Du Zhe's face was not particularly good-looking, so he came over and said, "Du, is this your first time playing in Denver?"

"Phew, that's right, coach. I happened to be suspended when the team came to Denver last time." Du Zhe tried his best to calm his breath before answering the old Nelson's question.

"Oh yes, that's right." Old Nelson nodded and sat next to Du Zhe: "It's normal to not adapt to the first game in Denver. Just play a few more times and get used to it."

"In the second half, I will arrange a few more people to rotate, so that you can also take more rest and recover your strength."

Although Old Nelson is also a serious old-school coach, he is still very careful in protecting his proud disciples.

Du Zhe feels that the treatment he enjoys now is almost catching up with Nowitzki back then.

……

On the other side of the Nuggets bench, there is far from such a harmonious atmosphere.

Head coach George Karl is giving the players tactical arrangements.

"JR, your bullshit shot selection is a joke. Don't shoot against that useless Chinese defense in the second half!" Karl said in a foul tone.

A veritable court tyrant, his favorite thing to do is publicly criticize players.

JR Smith, who was rebellious and went his own way, didn't speak, and after a cold snort, he sat back on the bench.

He does not have the strength and status of his elder brother Anthony, so he can only fight with silence.

In fact, not only JR Smith has a bad relationship with George Karl, most of the players Karl has coached in his career have no good impression of him.

In this Nuggets team, Anthony once got into trouble with him.

Kenyon Martin even raged at Carl after leaving the Nuggets: "Every player who has played for this rotten man, and every coach who has worked under him can't stand him."

Kenyon Martin even bluntly said, "Karl is definitely the worst coach I have ever played for."

After clearing his throat, Carl continued: "Everyone can amplify their actions in the second half, and it doesn't matter if we abolish that Hua country boy named Du Zhe."

As a coach who has been in the Jordan era, this trick seems to be ordinary to Karl.

Since I can't deal with you, wouldn't it be easier to just abolish you and let you end?
In Du Zhe's previous life, Karl arranged for Iguodala to deal with Curry in this way, but Iguodala refused at that time.

At this time, the players of the Nuggets also looked at me and I looked at you, and no one made a sound.

After all, they have no grudges with Du Zhe in the past, and they have no grudges in recent days. There is no need to do such a thing for a victory in the regular season.

More importantly, most of the Nuggets don't have a good relationship with Karl, and they don't want to take the blame for this old man who keeps trolling people.

The atmosphere on the Nuggets bench was immediately awkward.
