Chapter 8 vs Pierce

Unlike Xiao Ye, Zhang Chen didn't think he would suffer a big setback against Paul Pierce and Vince Carter. Although his ability might not be as good as them for the time being, he had one of the biggest advantages, which was his teammates.

He can focus on doing his own thing on the battlefield, because the team has Alonzo Mourning on the inside and Tim Hardaway on the outside, but the other two have to take on more responsibilities.

This bet seems to be unfair to Zhang Chen, but it is actually unfair to Paul Pierce and Vince Carter. After all, Xiao Ye is a system wizard, and she only looks at the data. She is far from Zhang Chen's real understanding of basketball games.

The NBA has played three games, and Paul Pierce has performed amazingly every game. Celtics head coach Pitino shouted "We have found a treasure". With Paul Pierce's performance, the No. 10 pick is really wronged some.

But if the No. 10 pick has wronged Paul Pierce, Zhang Chen, the No. 51 pick, is a mockery of the managers of NBA teams.

Pat Riley has said that the team's No. 51 rookie will start in this game, proving that the Heat are the real "big leak."

The media reporters were immediately moved by the news. Although only three games had started, some outstanding rookies had already shown their prominence. Due to the shortened season, many people had already begun to predict the best rookie. Now the top five performers include Paul Pierce and Zhang Chen.

The other three are Zhang Chen's opponent Vince Carter in the next game, and the other two are Jason Williams of the Sacramento Kings and Mike Bibby of the Vancouver Grizzlies.

When the reporter asked, "Which one will win, you or Zhang Chen?" Paul Pierce, who had a strong self-esteem, said calmly, "I will win." He had no reason to lose, and he didn't even regard Zhang Chen as an opponent. Zhang Chen's reputation is greater than that of Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen's NCAA championship makes him envious, and he has always wanted to win one.

Zhang Chen was also asked this question by the reporter, and he said seriously: "I will win for the team."

"You mean you don't have the statistical confidence to match Paul Pierce?"

"No, no, what I mean is that I will use all my means to win for the team. Whether it is offense or defense, victory is the benchmark to measure whether a player is good or not. This is what the coach told me when I started playing basketball. Yes." Zhang Chen answered seriously.

He's not fooling around, the pursuit of victory is his basketball philosophy, he doesn't care about playing ugly and sacrificing stats for the sake of victory, the uncrowned king is bullshit, the essence of competitive sports is to make people reach the highest level podium.

After the intermediate training of offensive ability in the basketball master system, Zhang Chen's strength has once again been greatly improved, and his current statistics in all aspects are much better than when he participated in the draft.

Attack ability (full value is 100): ball control ability 80, passing ability 73, shooting ability 82, long-range shooting ability 78, free throw ability 90, breakthrough ability 81.

Defensive ability (full value: 100): stealing ability 69, blocking ability 66, one-on-one defensive ability 78, frontcourt rebound 60, backcourt rebound 75.

Team ability (full value is 100): judgment 78, leadership 50, tactical talent 74, offensive and defensive movement 79, teamwork 65.

Physical talent (full value is 100): strength 80, speed 79, agility 81, bounce 78, balance 84, endurance 82, explosive power 70.

Comprehensive judgment: 75.

Apart from the system, his own basketball experience and this young and vigorous body are also a big reason for his rapid improvement.

In this game, the Heat's starting lineup became Tim Hardaway, Dan Marley, Zhang Chen, PJ Brown, Alonzo Mourning, that is, Zhang Chen replaced the temporary starter Keith Aspen Kings location.

The starting lineup of the Celtics is young people who take the lead Paul Pierce (first-year rookie), Ron Mercer (second-year rookie), Anthony Walker (third-year rookie), Vitali Potapanko ( third-year rookie), Kenny Anderson at the No. 1 position is also in his prime.

This is also one of Pat Riley's considerations for putting Zhang Chen in the starting line-up today. A group of talented young players are likely to overwhelm the Heat's veterans. After all, they are back-to-back.

At the beginning of the game, the Heat got the ball. According to the routine of the game, Tim Hardaway hoisted the ball to Mourning inside. -Brown dunked directly.

Anthony Walker is a power forward with technical characteristics like a small forward. Mourning's attractiveness made him forget the P-J-Brown around him. The Heat started 2-0 smoothly.

The Celtics attacked, and Zhang Chen directly entangled Paul Pierce to prevent him from receiving the ball. This will be the main theme of his defense against the opponent.

In fact, Paul Pierce's physical characteristics are somewhat similar to his. His speed and bounce are not top-notch, but his wingspan is good. The difference is that Paul Pierce's offensive skills are better than his. If he is allowed to catch the ball smoothly, Zhang Chen will be difficult to limit.

So Zhang Chen chose to fight on the outside to consume Pierce.

Although it was a back-to-back game, Zhang Chen was only a substitute on the field, and he was very physically fit.

Under Zhang Chen's entanglement, it was Anthony Walker who fired the first shot for the Celtics. He pulled out P-J-Brown, which was difficult to defend, and he easily scored two points.

The Heat's second attack, Mourning held the ball in the low post and singled Vitali Potapanko. Zhang Chen took advantage of Pierce to look back at the inside situation, and suddenly made a counter-run. Mourning passed one hand, Zhang Chen Pulling it up is a slam dunk.

This is the Heat's tactic today, attacking the Celtics inside, but Mourning saves his strength first, and then exerts his strength at the critical moment. This is the advantage of Zhang Chen's teammates. Mourning fights to the edge of the three-second zone. Attract the opponent's attention.

"Kenny." How could the arrogant Pierce be willing to let Zhang Chen's performance overwhelm him? He went directly to the middle circle to ask for the ball. Pierce is the team's key training object. Of course Kenny Anderson would Give him this face.

Zhang Chen was ready at the three-point line. Pierce's biggest threat, the moment he took a tentative step at the start, he ran to the center circle to catch the ball, which was tantamount to abolishing his greatest martial arts.

Pierce dribbled towards Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen concentrated his energy and moved to the front of Pierce almost at the same time as the opponent disguised himself. Fortunately, the speed could keep up.

Pierce leaned against Zhang Chen as if he was in a state of inertia, and Zhang Chen stood firmly, it was great, and his strength was not at a disadvantage.

He was happy, Pierce had already taken a step back, and Zhang Chen was too slow to jump up to block the shot.

"Beautiful step back, Pierce's technique is really good, it is really difficult for Zhang Chen to guard Pierce." The commentator sighed.

Changing the offense, Zhang Chen wanted to fight back. Unfortunately, his status in the Heat is not as high as that of Paul Pierce, and he has more opportunities to play with the substitute. It is difficult to attack with the ball as a starter.

"Why, NCAA champion, don't you want one? Oh, I see, this is the NBA." Pierce felt much better after scoring the goal, and he did not forget to tease Zhang Chen who just reached out for the ball and was ignored by his teammates when defending. .

"Oh, what's the difference in the NBA? Is it easier to win the championship?" Zhang Chen was not a really young guy, and immediately sarcastically returned.

Pierce's face was a little green at the moment. He was still worried about the NCAA championship. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, I will definitely win the NBA championship."

Later, Pierce did win the championship, but it was still far away. How could Zhang Chen lose his momentum, "Dude, let's talk about winning this game first."

"Okay, I'll win, don't cry if you will attack."

The Celtics attacked Pierce and came to the middle circle to get the ball. This time Zhang Chen has experience, and he will not retreat at all. If you have the ability, you can step back from outside the three-point line. The confident Pierce really came A three-point step back shocked Zhang Chen, but he had nothing to do about it.

Fortunately, the ball was hit. Zhang Chen rushed to the opponent's half at the first time. He wanted to score in the main lineup. The opportunity of a fast break must not be missed. After receiving a long pass, he started with a tomahawk, cool, really him Damn cool.

"Paul, you go to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and I will pass it to you." As the No. 1 position on the court, Kenny Anderson immediately gave advice. If Pierce wanted to control the ball, their current tactical system would be collapsed.

"Kenny, I beat him like this. That kid is really annoying. His attacks are all sneak attacks. I want to beat him head-on." Pierce said bitterly.

Seeing that Pierce caught the ball again in the middle circle, Zhang Chen stood firmly near the three-point line. He had nothing to say about the shot being dead, but it was impossible to deceive him like this.

Pierce made another similar breakthrough, but when he got to Zhang Chen's side, he made a different choice in an instant, turned around sharply, and passed Zhang Chen in one fell swoop.

Your sister, there are so many tricks, Zhang Chen turned around and Pierce had already strode towards the basket.

"Crack..." Looking at this big cap, Zhang Chen trembled. Mourning has been the leader in blocked shots for the past two seasons. You kid, you don't even look at who is there, just go to the basket.

When he turned around to chase, he just picked up the ball that Mourning had blocked, picked it up and rushed to the basket.

Facing Kenny Anderson, who was back on defense, Zhang Chen, who had rushed to the basket, just made a simple change of direction. Defensive players, so that ordinary opponents cannot block him, and it is easy to cause fouls by the opponent.

Kenny Anderson did not choose to foul, and Zhang Chen easily put the basketball into the basket.

"The Heat's Zhang Chen has already scored 6 points. His style of play is very smart and he is very active on the field. Some players can't tell that he is a rookie. As the first starter, his field selection is very mature. "

"Hey, can you come face to face once." Pierce was depressed.

"But this situation doesn't require me to come forward at all." Zhang Chen shrugged and said helplessly.

Compared with trash talk, Zhang Chen has enjoyed a lot in his career. If there is a value, he thinks he can reach 90 in this respect.

"Really, I will let you have this chance." Looking at the scoreboard behind, Pierce suddenly became extraordinarily calm.
