NBA: Crazy Little Giant

Chen Cheng's [Dream Footsteps] is a little different from Olajuwon's.

Olajuwon's dream footsteps are to knock people out!

But Chen Cheng's dream footsteps are to knock people out!

Although the process is different, the result is the same......

Both teams had been attacking the inside in the first few minutes.

Embiid, who was praised by Olajuwon for his great talent and his charm, changed his strategy after missing the first attack....

Chen Cheng is a burly man with a large tonnage and strong strength.

Embiid's turn was easily caught by Chen Cheng's broad shoulders, and was bounced back by his beast-like strength.

Embiid knew that if he wanted to deal with Chen Cheng, it would be like trying to cover a rock with an egg!

Embiid received the ball at a high position.

Like a striker, he played a three-threat game with the ball.

Chen Cheng was not afraid of Embiid's strong attack, so he stuck to him directly.

Embiid took advantage of the situation and broke through, sliding past Chen Cheng's right side like a loach.

But before he slid two steps, he was almost caught by Chen Cheng.

Embiid made an emergency stop, with his right foot as the pivot foot, and his left foot turned, hiding his body from Chen Cheng, pretending to hook.

Chen Cheng jumped!

At this moment!

Embiid was delighted!

Sure enough, Olajuwon was right. Chen Cheng liked to block shots. As long as the fake moves were realistic enough, Chen Cheng would definitely be shaken up.

Embiid was so happy that he didn't forget to move his feet. He landed on his left foot, took off with his right foot, and shot the ball.

This is the up and down step according to NBA rules. If it were put on the international court, it would probably be called a traveling violation.

What Embiid didn't expect was that...

Chen Cheng, who had jumped a second ago, now actually rushed over. With his terrifying jumping speed and single-handed defense, Embiid's layup was directly slapped into the audience seats.

This made Embiid dumbfounded!

He had just shaken off this guy!

His reaction was too fast! He adjusted himself immediately.

Olajuwon, who was watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV, was also surprised to see his student Embiid being blocked by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng likes to block shots, there is nothing wrong with that!

He does have this bad habit of defense!

But Chen Cheng's jumping height is short....

Even with the bonus of [Giant Lord (Gold)], the maximum height that Chen Cheng can jump in a short period of time is only about 40cm. After all, Chen Cheng weighs 139kg. If he wants to jump fully, it takes a long time to prepare.

When Chen Cheng tried to block Embiid for the first time, his jumping height was at most 20cm.

However, Chen Cheng could jump to about 40cm the first time, but Chen Cheng did not jump with all his strength.

There are two reasons:

1) Advanced hunters often disguise themselves as prey in order to pretend to be"prey", which can make the real prey take the bait and reveal flaws.

2) Chen Cheng did not jump high in order to reduce the time of landing so that he could make a second jump.

Watching Chen Cheng on TV, who once again dunked over Embiid, Olajuwon fell into deep thought.

He underestimated Chen Cheng!

He is more cunning than O'Neal back then.

More like a mature hunter.......

""Boss, Chen Zhen is a genius." The assistant coach on the bench of the Thunder team praised subconsciously.

"Well, Chen, he is a real genius!"

"His talent and potential are even above the four centers of the past!"

Billy Donovan said.

Regarding Chen Cheng's problem of liking to jump, the coaching staff has talked to Chen Cheng many times.

Of course, it's not Chen Cheng's fault. After all, most of the rookies and even many old players have this problem.

The real NBA is not a basketball game.

In the game, if you raise your hands and don't jump, there will be strong interference under the basket.

In reality, if you raise your hands and don't jump, there will also be interference, but many players with soft touch near the basket can get in.

Sometimes, you have to jump!

But the timing of jumping must be grasped!

Chen Cheng learned of his shortcomings and couldn't change them in a short time. So he did the opposite!

Chen Cheng used the"jumping" method, pretending to be a"prey", and then gave the opponent a fatal blow.

However, no one can learn Chen Cheng's trapping defense.

First of all, you have to have a tall and burly figure like Chen Cheng.

Secondly, you have to have a bounce speed that is not inferior to AD on the defensive end.

Finally, you have to have the blocking awareness of Mutombo and Rodman.

All three are indispensable!

Especially the first point, once Chen Cheng's tall and burly figure jumps, the opponent will think he is safe and have a feeling of surviving a disaster, so he will rush to shoot........

3 minutes and 21 seconds after the start of the game.

Embiid, who was blocked twice in the previous four shots, continued to work hard.

Embiid is indeed a genuine talented center!

This time, Embiid continued to receive the ball in the high position.

After receiving the ball, the triple threat slid over again. Although it looked a bit strenuous and gnashing his teeth, he still slid over.

After Embiid came to the reasonable collision zone, he stopped again. At the same time, he leaned against Chen Cheng with his right foot as the pivot foot and his left foot retreated, seemingly to fade away and jump shot.

When a 216cm player plays a fade away!

Ordinary inside players can only let go!

But Chen Cheng put all his strength into blocking Embiid.

After all, Chen Cheng is a good man who keeps his word.

He promised Karl-Anthony Towns that Embiid would enjoy the same treatment as him.

Chen Cheng jumped up!

He wanted to show his amazing 40cm standing jump height!

"Hehe!" Embiid smiled, he retracted his left foot, leaned towards Chen Cheng, and at the same time, made a shooting motion.

""Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle.

Chen Cheng committed a defensive foul!

However, Embiid was not happy for long, as he was hit hard by Chen Cheng who fell down....

It was like being hit by Chen Cheng's exclusive [Dream Footsteps]......

Embiid, with the help of his teammates, went to the free throw line.

At this time, he did not forget to explain his secret weapon to Chen Cheng.

""Chen, you know how powerful my secret weapon is!" Embiid said with a smug smile.

Chen Cheng was speechless.

In this world, due to his arrival, Embiid became stronger than in the same period of his previous life. He even learned how to commit a foul in advance.

"Chen, you are very strong!"

"But when it comes to free throws, I am the older brother."

As the little prince of Twitter, Embiid is not bad at trash talking, otherwise Towns would not have been broken by him.

Chen Cheng admitted that Embiid's free throw ability is better than his!

But when it comes to trash talking, Chen Cheng is not targeting anyone, everyone here is trash!!!

Embiid on the free throw line took the ball from the referee and was about to shoot it

"Oh~ Rose girl, you are bound;"

After saying this word"oh", Embiid's hands shook for no reason and he missed all three free throws.

"Oh, Rose girl, you are bound;"

"But I am not ashamed of your chains;"

"Like a nightingale among the laurel bushes,"

"The king of singers in this forest..."......

That's right!

Facing Embiid who was in a good mood standing on the free throw line,

Chen Cheng started to chant!

This poem is"Oh, Rose Girl, I am Bound" from Pushkin's Selected Poems.

Chen Cheng changed it a little and dedicated it to Embiid"Oh, Rose Girl, You are Bound".

Chen Cheng personally, in fact, doesn't like foreign poetry very much. He likes the frontier poems of the Xia Dynasty and the lyrics of Jiaxuan.

It's just that domestic poems lose their flavor after being translated into English.
