NBA: Crazy Little Giant

"Swish!"

Chen Cheng made the first free throw

"Ding!"

Chen Cheng missed the second free throw.

After missing the shot, Chen Cheng just wanted to rush in to steal the rebound, but was blocked by Paul George.

"OMG"

"This guy is too scary."

Although Paul George tried his best to hold off Chen Cheng who was trying to grab the rebound, his face was distorted and painful, as if he was hit by a truck.

Myles Turner took the rebound.

""Beep!"

The Pacers coach requested a timeout.......

"ah?"

"What is going on?"

"Why do you ask for a pause?"

"yes"

"What is the Pacers coach thinking?"

For a moment, Xia Guo fans did not quite understand why the Pacers coach requested a timeout.

But soon...

They understand.

Myles Turner, the Pacers' starting center, staggered back to the bench after the timeout.

"Well..."

"All right"

"Turner is out of energy."

"No wonder they asked for a pause."

"Yes, after all, Turner is only a sophomore rookie and has been competing against Teacher Chen since the beginning of the game."

"Teacher Chen is so mean, bullying other second-grade children."

After learning the truth, the fans of Xia Guo couldn't help but make fun of it.......

On the Pacers bench.

Myles Turner was so tired that he was panting and could not even speak. Sweat was pouring down his face. He looked like he had been fished out of the water.

The Pacers coach looked at his disciple with some heartache.

Turner, who weighed less than 110kg, was competing against Chen Cheng, who weighed 134kg. It was not easy for this young boy to hold on until now.

As for the fact that Chen Cheng was still a rookie, it had been gradually forgotten by the league.

The coaches of all major teams defended him with the standards of a superstar.

Just like Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan who had just entered the league.

Chen Cheng's endurance was as high as [88]. Although it could not be compared with the top physical monsters, it exceeded 80% of the players in the same position.

The most important thing was that the intensity of the confrontations they endured was different.

Chen Cheng, who was on the Thunder's bench, still maintained good energy and stamina.

"Guys, when you get on the court, go attack their basket."

"I don't believe it anymore"

""We will always take care of them with rebounds tonight."

Chen Cheng said somewhat unhappily.

A large part of the rebounds tonight were long rebounds, which was very disadvantageous to Chen Cheng. For this reason, up to now, Chen Cheng has only got 6 rebounds.

The entire Pacers team on the other side actually got 5.

Only 1 less than Chen Cheng.

Although there were more long rebounds tonight, Chen Cheng was extremely dissatisfied with his own performance.......

Back from the timeout.

The game continues.

The Pacers replaced the backup center with 'Al Jefferson'.

Al Jefferson, born in 1984, is 32 years old this year, 208cm tall, 132kg in weight, and has a wingspan of 220cm. In his prime, Jefferson also had the title of Wolf King. His low-post footwork was solid, his offensive skills were like embroidery needles, and his one-handed half-court shot was exceptionally accurate.

But now is the era of small ball, coupled with his own injuries.

It is difficult for Jefferson to keep up with the pace of the times.

After Jefferson came on the court, he asked for the ball directly in the low post and backed up Chen Cheng.

Jefferson's footwork was not fast, but his rhythm was varied. Although the continuous fake shakes of his shoulders did not allow Chen Cheng to jump, they mobilized Chen Cheng's defensive attention.

Immediately afterwards, Jefferson turned around and used his broad shoulders to complete a jump hook across Chen Cheng.

"Ding!"

"Ding!

The basketball bounced on the rim for a few times before finally falling into the basket.......

Jefferson's delicate inside technique, coupled with his soft touch, made it difficult for Chen Cheng to adapt to the defensive end for a while.

But on the offensive end.

Jefferson was helpless against Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng played back in the low post and hard-hit the 132kg Jefferson.

Although Jefferson's tonnage was still there, he was old and his lower limbs had lost a lot of strength, making it difficult to hold up against Chen Cheng.

Although Chen Cheng did not directly push him away like he bullied Towns, he would push him to a deeper position under the basket within the back-to-back time limit.

However, Chen Cheng's [Giant Burst (Bronze)] made Chen Cheng turn so fast that Jefferson could not even see the taillights of the car.

After turning around, Chen Cheng directly got rid of Jefferson, and then he made a one-handed slam dunk.

The two exploded on the offensive end.

But no matter how stable Jefferson's skills under the basket were, it was also very difficult for him to hit one after another under Chen Cheng's defense.

Once Jefferson missed!

It meant no rebounds.

In addition, physical strength is a big problem for veterans.

Tyrant Chen played for 11 minutes and 12 seconds in the first quarter before being replaced. The two centers of the Pacers, Turner and Jefferson, who shared the 11 minutes and 12 seconds, were panting and sweating during the timeout in the first quarter. They seemed to be more tired than Chen Cheng.

"Want to deal with Chen..."

"I think we need at least three inside players."

"Among them, there must be a meat shield center"

"Otherwise, after playing for a few minutes, the other team's center will be unable to run on the court."

The Pacers coach thought to himself.

At the same time, Thunder coach Billy Donovan saw that the other team's two centers were exhausted by Chen Cheng, while his own center could still say"tomato" energetically, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Want to deal with Chen!"

"You have to prepare a warship!"

Donovan said secretly.
