NBA: Crazy Little Giant

The Warcraft sent the ball out of bounds, and the Hawks called a timeout.

After the timeout, Dwight Howard, who had played for less than 3 minutes, was replaced. The player who came on was Mark Muscala, a 211cm tall, 108kg inside player. He had good rim protection and shot blocking skills. In addition, he had a good mid-range shot and could occasionally shoot three-pointers. His disadvantages were poor athletic ability and sparse rebounding ability.

After Chen Cheng came on the court again, he saw Dwight Howard leave the court, which made him frown.

What does the Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer mean?

Does he think that this skinny Muscala can defend him?

The Thunder served the sideline ball.

Chen Cheng served the sideline ball.

Instead of Westbrook suddenly cutting inside, he gave it to Bojan on the diagonal line.

The through pass, like a cannonball, flew past Millsap and Schroeder. The pass was as fast as lightning, but the accuracy was average. After Bojan received the ball, he made adjustments and then shot a three-pointer.

Hit!!!......

"What good luck!"Bazemore, who was defending Bojan, said unconvincedly.

"No, you are lucky."Bojan pointed at Chen Cheng who had already rushed to the basket and said with a smile.

Bazemore was speechless.

The big guy in their team was really active in grabbing rebounds.

Howard, who was off the court, looked at everyone on the court with a complicated expression on his face.

As the former No. 1 center, he was beaten by Chen Cheng and was replaced by the coach.

3 strong attacks, all were defended by Chen Cheng.

0 points and 1 rebound!

The opponent got 4 points and 6 rebounds, and in one of the attacks, he even swiped N offensive rebounds over his head.

Thinking of this...

Howard couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile......

After Howard was substituted, the Hawks' offensive space improved a lot.

Schroeder and Millsap had a pick-and-roll.

After Millsap received the ball outside the three-point line, he faked a shot and sent PJ Tucker flying. He crouched down and rushed to the basket with the ball!

Millsap is at his peak this season. Although he is only 203cm tall, he has good explosive power and is also a representative of short and strong monsters.

Millsap took off!

Like an eagle flying in the sky!

""Bang!"

A giant hand dropped from the sky and knocked down his fierce dunk.

Oladipo, who was not far away, rushed over and picked up the floor ball.

Although Chen Cheng's rebounding ability is strong, he is too tall and it is very difficult to pick up the basketball close to the ground. For this reason, Oladipo is always ready during every block of Chen Cheng.

Floor balls are easy for Oladipo, who is black and hard and has learned to block vision.......

The Hawks' defense speed was good this time.

They stopped the Thunder's fast break.

Chen Cheng was the last one to cross half court.

But after crossing half court, Chen Cheng went down to the low post. He wanted to attack Mark Muscala.

The Hawks knew very well that as long as the ball was given to Chen Cheng, Mark Muscala would be beaten. For this reason, Mark Muscala took a front defense. In addition, Millsap was ready to assist and double-team at any time.

When Westbrook was not there, it would be difficult to give the ball to Chen Cheng.

But now it is different.

Westbrook instructed PJ Tucker to screen Bojan to adjust Millsap's defensive position.

Millsap followed.

However, what surprised Millsap was that PJ Tucker's screen was a fake screen. He just reached the high post and suddenly ran back.

Millsap didn't dare to let PJ Tucker in the corner shoot a three-pointer.

He quickly followed.

Westbrook seized this opportunity and lobbed the ball to Chen Cheng.

Mark Muscala kept sticking to Chen Cheng, stretching out his arms to interfere with the pass, but Chen Cheng hit him with his hips the moment he saw the ball coming, causing Mark Muscala to stumble, and Chen Cheng successfully caught the ball!

He turned around and faced Bazemore's help defense!

""Pah!"

Bazemore's hand hit Chen Cheng's arm, but Chen Cheng, who could bench press 235kg, remained unmoved....

Facing the basket, it’s a slam dunk!

""Bang!"

The whole basketball hoop was buzzing!

""Beep!"

The referee whistled.

Defensive foul! and-one!......

Chen Cheng stepped onto the free throw line.

The Thunder's MVP cheers also rang out.

"List!"

"List!"

"MVP！"

"MVP！"

As everyone expected, Chen Cheng scored 2+0!......

After the Hawks replaced Mark Muscala, the space was expanded. The team's offense seemed to be smooth, but the basket was completely blown up.

When Howard was on the court, Chen Cheng did not complete a dunk.

But after Howard left the court and Mark Muscala came on the court, Chen Cheng attacked 6 times, 5 of which ended with dunks. The remaining 1 was interfered by the Swiss Army Knife Safrosa!

But Chen Cheng used [One Pillar to the Sky] to get 5 offensive rebounds and finally scored.

By the way, although Chen Cheng can't do a windmill dunk, Chen Cheng is the league's actual dunk king, averaging 5.4 dunks per game, ranking first in the league!

Chen Cheng only played for 9 minutes in the first quarter, but got 14 points, 13 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

Westbrook's performance in the first quarter was mediocre, 2-point shots, 4 shots, 1-of-3 shots, 1-of-2 free throws, 8 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 5 assists.

The first quarter ended.

Thunder 32 vs Hawks 15, 17-point lead......

Tianchao Sports Live Room

"It's unreasonable for the Hawks to replace Howard"

"yes..."

"If Howard is off the court, it will be very comfortable for Mr. Chen to be under the basket."

"That's right"

"I even felt that Teacher Chen didn't even sweat."

"Although Mr. Chen grabbed a lot of rebounds in front of Master Huo, he did a good job in defending Chen Cheng. Moreover, Master Huo's passing could pass Mr. Chen's rebounds to other people."

"Yeah, that's right"

"Dear audience, from the match between Teacher Chen and Master Huo, you can see the difference between Teacher Chen and Dayao."

"Yao Ming faced Howard and scored easily"

"Teacher Chen is bad���few"

"But in terms of rebounding, Mr. Chen completely dominated Mr. Huo and was much better than Yao Ming."......

The second quarter started.

Howard was back on the court.

The Hawks coach looked at Mark Muscala, who played against Chen Cheng for less than 6 minutes in the first quarter. He was now on the sidelines with ice on his knees, and the physical therapist was rubbing his shoulders. Mark Muscala looked like he had fought a giant beast. His body was bleak and weak.

"Man, I finally got you. Chen Cheng smiled when he saw Howard on the court.

"Chen, as a respect for you, I will also give my all tonight."Howard said in a resounding voice.

Howard is not particularly old. Born in December 1985, he is now 31 years old, which is the golden age for a center, but due to various reasons, the years have passed and will never come back.

But in his previous life, Howard had played a highlight performance of 30+30 even in the Hornets.

In some special games, Howard can still dream back to the peak!!!
