NBA: Crazy Little Giant

Chapter 106

"It’s muddled!"

"Thirteen Yao!"

PJ Tucker said in broken Chinese, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

""Go to hell, PJ, you're a fake winner!!!"

Chen Cheng said angrily when Oladipo and Robertson were about to pay.

Oladipo and Robertson looked at each other and began to look at the cards. They found that PJ Tucker was really a fake winner.’

"Ha ha"

"PJ, give it to me."

Then, everyone smiled and reached out to PJ Tucker.

According to Chen Cheng's rules, a big hit would be fined a lot of money.

As Teacher Chen, Chen Cheng naturally had to collect their"tuition fees".

After the two rounds of mahjong after the game, the tuition fees Chen Cheng received were almost enough to buy a Tibetan mastiff.

Chen Cheng looked at Oladipo and others with a smile on his face, and a little bald Oladipo and others looked at him with a wry smile.......

Two days later, the Thunder played against the Pacers away.

Although the Pacers' core player Paul George has gradually come out of the shadow of injury this season, this Pacers team is not the Eastern Conference powerhouse that could fight against the Big Three of the Heat. Of the former team, only Paul George is left.

By the way, the name Paul George has a very high homonym rate in the United States, which is equivalent to the name Li Lei in the 80s, Zhang Tao in the 90s, and Haochen in the 00s.

There are always a few in each class.

The Pacers' starting lineup: Jeff Teague, Monta Ellis, Paul George, Thaddeus Young and Myles Turner.

The Thunder's starting lineup: Oladipo, the king of the old six, Robertson, the king of anal digging, PJ Tucker, the king of shoes, Adams and Tyrant Chen. Myles Turner was the 11th pick last year. He has good rim protection ability.

He also has a certain ability to shoot from the outside, which can open up space for the team.

After the game started, the Pacers used the five-out tactics.

Jeff Teague wanted to break through Oladipo, but the current defensive ability of the Mamba is enough to be regarded as an outside defensive stalwart. Jeff Teague's several strong breakthroughs were blocked by Oladipo.

Watching the time pass by.

Paul George cut in from the wing, and with his speed advantage, he successfully got rid of PJ Tucker.

He cut to the basket, received the ball, and planned to force a dunk.

After seeing this, Chen Cheng, who was near the bottom corner, rushed over quickly.

"this..."

"No way."

Paul George's face suddenly changed, he couldn't believe that Chen Cheng, who was so big, was so fast.

Before the game, although he had watched Chen Cheng's game videos and knew that this big guy had unlimited energy on the defensive end, he was not so fast.

He was not only taller and stronger than his former teammate Hei Yuanyuan, but also much faster.

Chen Cheng's lateral movement has increased recently, and it has now reached the upper limit MAX——【55].

The video footage that the Pacers team studied was the footage of Chen Cheng last month.

But Chen Cheng makes progress in almost every game.

So the footage of Chen Cheng can only represent the past.

Seeing Chen Cheng rushing over, Paul George temporarily changed his defensive strategy. He did not jump, but turned his back, seemingly wanting to turn over and lean back.

Chen Cheng slid over.

Paul George saw Chen Cheng coming.

Paul George made an emergency stop and twisted his body back.

He had planned to rely on this rhythm to play.

But Paul George found that although he was leading by half a body length, the tall Chen Cheng still covered him.

In addition, PJ Tucker, who he had previously thrown off, had already caught up and formed a double team with Chen Cheng.

Paul George was like a small animal that fell into a trap.

There was nothing he could do.

He could only choose to pass the ball.

Paul George saw Myles Turner in the bottom corner.

""Whoosh!"

As Paul George threw the ball, a big hand intercepted the pass.

""Snap!"

The big hand successfully intercepted the ball.

Then, the big hand swung in front of Paul George like a catapult.

A long pass across half the court was sent to Oladipo.

The Pacers' two main guards, Jeff Teague and Monta Ellis, went to block.

Oladipo threw the ball and assisted Robertson who was following behind.

This series of actions made Paul George a little stunned.

He was not amazed at Chen Cheng's pass.

But his defense.

His movements were agile, not slower than that of Myles Turner, the second-year rookie of his team. No, to be precise, he was faster than Turner, who was famous for his mobility. His defensive prediction was even more sharp.

It felt like he seemed to have predicted his passing action.......

The Pacers' two guards.

Jeff Teague's defense this season is pretty standard.

And Monta Ellis's defense, even at his peak, was like a piece of paper.

They could not withstand the Thunder's offensive and defensive transitions.

Oladipo repeatedly performed the feat of carrying a bomb to the basket in the fast break after the opening.

In the Pacers, Paul George, who was born in 3D, has good defensive ability, especially in assisting defense.

As for single defense, although Paul George is at the upper-middle level of the league's forward position, he can't defend against fast and strong guards, nor can he defend against heavy forwards.

Of course, the Thunder currently does not have a heavy forward with excellent independent offensive ability.

There is no fast guard with outstanding independent offensive ability.

Although Oladipo's physical fitness is explosive, at present, he is best at [rushing to the basket] and [defense].

And Paul George's assisting defense ability exposed a shortcoming of the Thunder on the offensive end, that is, it is difficult to pass the ball to Chen Cheng who is asking for the ball in the low post.

Myles Turner adopted a front defense.

At the moment when Chen Cheng was about to receive the ball.

Myles Turner jumped first.

Turner has very good jumping ability.

This makes it more difficult for Chen Cheng to catch the ball.

In addition, Paul George's assist and air defense capabilities.

He predicted that this ball would be passed in advance, and when Chen Cheng was about to receive the ball, he came to double-team.

The three of them almost grabbed a basketball at the same time.

In the melee, Paul George passed the ball to Turner, leaving Chen Cheng empty-handed.

Turner just got the ball.

A strong and powerful big hand came. The rude and rough big hand snatched it out of Turner's arms.

Turner, who was desperately protecting the ball, was thrown out and fell to the ground.
