Chapter 8 Against the Hornets
How to limit West on the defensive end, Du Zhe already has a preliminary plan in mind.

But what to do on the offensive end made him a little unsure.

Are you going to continue to act like you did on the field?Or continue to practice three-pointers?

These two ideas were quickly rejected by Du Zhe.

After thinking about it, he opened the system mall, ready to see what he could buy with his only 11 system points.

The enhancement cards in the mall that can permanently improve personal abilities cost a minimum of 5 system points, and each card can improve the corresponding attribute by 5 points.
However, there are many categories of attributes in the system, and the improvement of a single attribute can be said to be insignificant when converted to the overall ability value.

Then we can only look at what is included in the temporary bonus items.

"81 points Kobe experience card!" Du Zhe shouted excitedly.

"Oh, order one for the 100 system, then it's fine..."

Looking down, there are many more, [McGrady 35 seconds 13 points experience card] [Ray Allen three-point experience card] [Carter dunk experience card] [Harden 2-for-27 points experience card]...

It's just the price, it's not something Du Zhe can afford now.

Then we can only take a gamble...

Du Zhe set his sights on the lottery button on the top of the mall.

Spend 10 system points to draw a lottery. The result of the lottery may be nothing, or it may be the top basketball talent. It can be said that everything is possible.

Moreover, this lottery seems to have won the authenticity of certain games that Du Zhe played in his previous life. Some unique and rare basketball talents can only be obtained through lottery, which can be said to be a scam to maximize the attributes.

"System! Pump it for me!"

The virtual carousel appeared before Du Zhe's eyes again.

As the turntable slowly stopped, the pointer pointed at one of the grids.

"Peak Griffin Slam Dunk Experience Card (Three Games)"

After activation, the user can gain the slam dunk ability of Peak Griffin in the next three games.

Du Zhe's eyes lit up, it seemed that he was lucky, at least he pulled out a useful item.

Although he himself is a bit shorter than Griffin, he is more than ten centimeters longer than Griffin in terms of wingspan, and going back and forth will not affect the effect of the experience card too much.

"I didn't expect that Paul in this life would have to taste his good partner's dunks before he could join forces with Griffin."

After thinking about the relationship between Paul and Griffin in his previous life, Du Zhe actually felt inexplicably excited.
-
The next day, at Oracle Arena, the Warriors faced the Hornets at home.

In the first quarter, Du Zhe sat on the bench to watch the game according to the arrangement of the coaching staff.

The combination of Paul and David West is indeed powerful. Although the two took almost all the team's shots in the first quarter, they also scored 31 points.

Paul's sharp breakthrough coupled with David West's deadly mid-range shooting made the Warriors' weak defense crumbling.

Fortunately, Morrow, who started the game, felt hot and never missed a shot. He scored 12 points and was able to maintain the situation for the Warriors.

The first quarter is coming to an end, and at 20:31, the Warriors are already 11 points behind.

This made Nelson feel a little embarrassed. He waved his hand to indicate a pause in formation changes.

Crawford was used to replace Azubuike, who was sleepwalking and missed all shots.

At the same time, Du Zhe replaced Turiaf, who was helpless against David West.

Crawford, who will win the best sixth man award three times in the future, has already shown his plug-and-play ability at this time. After playing, he made a cold arrow and scored three points.

On the offensive end of the Hornets, this round is still a "two-person turn" between Paul and David West.

After some breakthrough dribbling, Paul passed the ball to David West, who caught the ball in one step inside the three-point line.

For many players, one step inside the three-point line is the least cost-effective area to attack, but David West obviously doesn't think so.

Nicknamed the "17-foot Assassin," he has always maintained an efficient shooting rate from this distance. He catches the ball, fakes, and jumps. His actions are as unpretentious as ever but contain hidden murderous intent.

The only difference from just now is that Du Zhe, who was lying in ambush, would not give him an easy chance to score. When David West took off, he also shot out like an arrow from the string.

"I'm going, why do you jump so high?!" Just after taking off, Du Zhe felt something was wrong.

Compared with yesterday, his feet seemed to be equipped with springs, and he jumped high.

Originally, he just wanted to interfere with the opponent's shooting, but the ball went out of bounds unexpectedly.

"This Griffin's bounce is too strong..." Du Zhe finally realized that this seemed to be the role of the [Peak Griffin Slam Dunk Experience Card]. Unexpectedly, this thing was so effective on the defensive end. It also has wonderful uses.

This made him couldn't help sighing: "It seems that this Griffin still suffers from the short wingspan, but if the arms are longer and coupled with this bounce, why is it so late that he can't touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals!"

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 23:31, and the Warriors were temporarily 8 points behind.

The Hornets came on as substitutes in the second quarter, while the Warriors continued to play with their original team.

There is no way, there are only seven players in the Warriors' rotation today. In addition to the five starters, there are only Crawford and Du Zhe on the bench.

Marking Peja on the outside in the second quarter relieved Du Zhe's pressure a lot. This veteran was good at breakthroughs when he was young.

Under Du Zhe's strict defense, the veteran Peja had a hard time finding a good shot, and all three shots were shot.

Du Zhe, on the other hand, changed his previous habit, frequently pick-and-roll with his teammates, looking for opportunities to run through the pick-and-roll.

Finally, after another pick-and-roll, Du Zhe finally found a gap in the Hornets and went straight to the inside.

And Morrow also quickly passed the ball to his hands.

A flash of yellow lightning flashed, and the Hornets' substitute insider Sean Marcos, who was rushing up to defend the Hornets, was immediately buckled and knocked to the ground.

After swinging on the basket for a few times, Du Zhe landed easily.

The long-suppressed passion of the Warriors fans on the court was completely ignited by this dunk. Many fans who had never watched the game began to curiously inquire about the name of this young player with an oriental face.

The two players on the bench also stood up and waved towels excitedly. Although there were probably a few people, the excitement was palpable.

Seeing that the Warriors were getting more and more courageous and gradually narrowing the point difference, the Hornets coach Scott hurriedly called a timeout.

He thought that with the bench lineup led by veteran Peja, at least he could play back and forth with the Warriors, who were almost all undrafted.

Unexpectedly, only halfway through the second quarter, he was chased by the Warriors for 6 points in a row, and he had to replace the main players again.

Old Nelson was also in a daze. Du Zhe's sudden dunk just now even made the old man doubt him.

"Can this kid jump so high? I don't have the slightest impression. Is it really time for me to retire?"

Du Zhe, who completed the first dunk in his NBA career, also looked up to the sky and roared, showing his domineering attitude.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

"The dunking hand really hurts. No wonder those NBA players like to yell after dunking..."
