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

Chapter 9 The Power of David West
Looking at Paul and David West on the bench gearing up to appear, Du Zhe knew that the real challenge had just begun.

At this time, the second quarter was just over halfway, the score was 36:38, and the Warriors were still two points behind.

After Paul held the ball, the offensive rhythm of the entire Hornets obviously improved.

He first broke into the Warriors' paint, but was not in a hurry to attack. He just slipped around and came out again.

In and out, the Warriors' two defenders wanted to double-team Paul and steal the ball.

But how can Paul, who is known as the number one point guard, let them succeed easily, relying on his agility and skillful ball-handling skills to keep moving around.

In a hurry, it disrupted the Warriors' own defensive formation.

Looking at the open Paul, he passed the ball to the open Russell Butler.

It's a pity that Butler, who felt cold, couldn't seize the opportunity and slammed the ball heavily on the basket.

Du Zhe bounced off the ground again. Although he made a slight mistake in judging the ball's landing point, he still passed the ball to his teammates with his advantage of bounce and wingspan.

Then came the Warriors' quick run-and-gun counterattack.

Watson, who sprinted to the basket, faced Paul who was returning to defense, and chose to pass the ball back to Du Zhe, who was following behind.

"Boom!" Although Du Zhe's speed is not very fast, the impact after running is not something that a short defender like Paul can withstand.

This time it was "Queen Bee" Chris Paul who was docked.

"Two dunks! It seems that Du Zhe is very excited after getting more playing time!"

On the other side of the world, China's senior basketball commentator Director Yu was explaining the game in front of the screen.

After Du Zhe killed the king on both offensive and defensive ends at the last moment of the last game, the Huaguo media was keenly aware that this young player who had been on the bench for several consecutive games is likely to get more game time in the next game.

Therefore, both Channel [-] and Somelang Platform also broadcast the game between the Warriors and the Hornets live today.

"Du Zhe's game is very reasonable. He dares to make moves and find physical confrontation. What about you Paul? You give me space, and I will still dunk you under the basket." Director Zhang on the side also took over the conversation. , praised Du Zhe vividly.

"It's true that Du Zhe used this style of attacking inside and relying on his body to make damage. Of course, what makes us even more happy is that even in the NBA and on the stage, this young player is not stage-frightened." The guidance was supplemented in a timely manner.

On the court, the Hornets still rely on Paul to connect the team in offense.

The ball was quickly distributed to David West in the low post.

At this time, David West was afraid of Du Zhe's excellent reaction and amazing bounce. He no longer dared to take random shots, but chose a more secure attack method.

While relying on strength to perform back hits, while observing the running positions of teammates.

In this way, you can attack by yourself, and you can pass to teammates who have a chance when you retreat.

Du Zhe, who was defending David's west back hit, was pushed back continuously, but this was expected by him.

Although David West's jumping agility is average, his strength is outstanding among inside players.

Even James at his peak would find it difficult to confront him head-on in terms of strength, let alone Du Zhe now.

This also made the two commentators sweat.

"In the last two games, Du Zhe has been very active on the defensive end. Today he is facing All-Star power forward David West, but it seems that he does not have an advantage in terms of strength..." Director Yu The tone was calm and the problem was pointed out directly.

Director Zhang on the other side didn't seem too worried: "We often say that defense is a physical job! It's not like offense, which requires you to have touch and skills. No need! When you defend, if you Work hard, and if you have the belief that I must guard against you, you can guard against me!"

Before he finished speaking, David West, who squeezed into the inside, hit the ball with a hook.

After a brief silence, Director Zhang continued to explain as if nothing had happened: "Uh-huh, let's take a look at the results of today's competition draw. Oh! It's a guy from..."

On the field, Du Zhe could only helplessly shake his head after failing to defend.

It seems that he is still far from the top players in the NBA in terms of strength. In this round just now, it can be said that he was eaten alive by David West.

But that doesn't mean he's helpless.
-
In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Thanks to the fiery touch of Crawford and Morrow, coupled with Du Zhe's efficient performance on both ends of the offense and defense, the score between the two teams did not open up a big gap.

51:55, the Warriors are currently only 4 points behind.

其中克劳福德10投6中，罚球3罚3中，砍下全队最高18分。

莫罗8投6中，罚球2罚2中，得到17分。

杜哲则是3投2中，得到4分，不过除此以外他还有4板1助1冒2断的数据入账，表现十分全面。

As for the Hornets, due to the poor touch of the role players, Chris Paul had to turn on the scoring mode, making 17 of 8 shots and 8 of 7 free throws, scoring 25 points.

David West was the only Hornets player who could provide support for Paul. He made 12 of 8 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 18 points.

In the third quarter, Du Zhe continued to stay on the court.

Although the old Nelson hesitated about this, he still chose to continue to give the young man another chance.

Of course this is the lesser of two evils.

After all, in the first quarter, the stronger power forward Turiaf was directly hit by David West's mid-range shot, allowing the opponent to score a full 14 points in a single quarter.

Once on the court again, Du Zhe chose to change his defensive method after looking at David West's thick body and solid bottom plate.

That is, once David West entered the low post, he quickly defended around the front, making it impossible for the Hornets to easily feed the ball to the low post.

This trick can be said to be very effective against insiders who are not outstanding in agility and jumping, and David West is exactly this kind of player.

In Du Zhe's impression, even an insider at Yao's level in his previous life was a bit short of heroic when facing the Jazz's defense around the front, let alone David West.

What's more, after activating the death coil talent, his defensive awareness and stealing ability have reached the top level, and his judgment and destruction of passing passes can be said to be stable and accurate.

Coupled with the explosive jumping ability gained after activating the [Peak Griffin Dunk Experience Card], even if the opponent passes the ball with a lob, he is confident to intercept it.

Thinking of this, Du Zhe could only silently apologize to the hero of the Warriors' championship in his previous life.

I'm sorry, "Master Xi," if I can't guard you today, I'm afraid my brother's job in the NBA will not be saved. Now we are all masters, so let's each rely on our own abilities!
