NBA: Crazy Little Giant

At noon, Chen Cheng and his team had already arrived in Toronto.

PJ Tucker was familiar with this place and privately invited Chen Cheng, Oladipo and Robertson to eat local delicacies. At

4 pm,

Chen Cheng and his team returned to the team.

The game started at 8 pm.

However, not long after Chen Cheng and his team returned,

Oladipo, Robertson and PJ Tucker had severe diarrhea.

The three of them ran to the toilet and their faces were black and green....

Chen Cheng was not unusual.

Seeing his players go out to eat privately before the game and not prepare well, head coach Billy Donovan went crazy with PJ Tucker.

As for Chen Cheng, because he did not have diarrhea.

The coach firmly believed that although Chen Cheng also went out, it was to bring back Oladipo and others.

The three main rotation players had stomach upsets before the game, and their calves were soft, so they naturally could not play in the game.

For this reason, the starting lineup of the Thunder tonight:

Megatron, inspirational Payton, 7-pointer Bojan Bodanovic, Aquaman Adams and Tyrant Chen.

Toronto's starting lineup:

Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, DeMarre Carroll, Pascal Siakam and Jonas Valanciunas.......

Not long ago, the Thunder led by Chen Cheng lost to the Raptors.

However, three players of the Thunder tonight had bad food and missed tonight's game.

This time, the home fans in Toronto, who were not optimistic about this game, saw the dawn of hope.

Oladipo, Robertson and PJ Tucker are all defensive stalwarts of the Thunder. Even if Chen Cheng's defense is strong, it is not so easy to defend the Raptors' double guns and the combination of the North Territory duo.

But after the game started, the Thunder gave them a blow.

After Chen Cheng received the ball in the low post, he was immediately double-teamed.

Valanciunas and Siakam almost stuck to Chen Cheng. In addition, the Raptors' small forward Carroll kept trying to steal the ball.

James broke the double-team with his camera memory and super fast reaction.

Many NBA players do not have these two abilities. Even Kawhi Leonard, who is as strong as he is, can never have excellent passing ability.

But Chen Cheng has both of these abilities.

The only thing he lacks is enough calmness and experience.

Chen Cheng found Neptune Adams immediately.

Knowing the horror of the [Fear of Shooting Award], Neptune decisively shot from the right wing three-point line.

Although Neptune's three-point shooting was unstable, his start tonight was OK.

""Swish!"

Hit!

A three-pointer at the start of the game gave the Thunder a first blood.

This also made the fans of the Toronto Raptors envious.

"No way!"

"It's been so long since we last met!"

"Steven has three points!"

"I do not believe!"

"This must be luck!"

Toronto fans are not not watching the game. Recently, Aquaman's three-point shooting is actually OK. He averages 3 shots per game and can hit 1.1. It's not a good space point, but you dare not let it go completely.

In addition, Aquaman's three-point shooting rate is gradually and steadily improving.

There is a very important reason why Raptors fans think that Aquaman's three-pointer is a fluke, that is, their center Valanciunas was similar to Aquaman before, both of them are strong inside players with short shooting range.

But now...

Wow!

Aquaman Adams can shoot three-pointers!

It's incredible.

At the same time, I couldn't help but complain about my center Jonas Valanciunas. Aquaman Adams has practiced three-pointers, why can't you practice it?

In his previous life, Valanciunas didn't have a three-pointer when he entered the NBA. He was forced to do it by this era.

But Valanciunas' three-pointer is not a conventional weapon. Even if his hit rate is okay, his output has not been high.

In the 19-20 season, he averaged only 1.3 shots per game........

Tonight, the Sea King seemed to be eating dumplings. He made two three-pointers at the beginning of the game, which made the Raptors fans who had dreams and aspirations of beating the Thunder, the first team in the league, feel disappointed.

But in fact...

The reason why Aquaman can hit the ball in succession is not only related to his three-point shooting ability, but also because of Chen Cheng's [Magic of Giants (Silver)], which makes his fixed-point wide-open shooting hit rate soar.

2 three-pointers are not as simple as 6 points. At the same time, Aquaman also made the Raptors dare not double-team Chen Cheng.

After Chen Cheng fell to the low post this time, Siakam did not dare to come over. Valanciunas defended Chen Cheng in the low post, and forward Carroll made a commotion.

Valanciunas' lower limb strength is very strong!

Ordinary inside players can't push him.

But Chen Cheng likes this kind of strong confrontation....

"boom!"

"boom!"

""Bang!"

The sound of muscles colliding and the friction between sneakers and the floor were clearly heard by the fans in the first row, which made the audience excited.

Valan, who had excellent tonnage and lower limb strength, was pushed into the reasonable collision zone by Chen Cheng like a bulldozer.

Chen Cheng leaned against Valan with his body and made a straight-arm hook!

When the weight of 139kg and the terrifying upper limb strength leaned against Valan, Valan couldn't jump up at all.

He watched Chen Cheng hook the ball out.

The moment the basketball was shot!

The Toronto fans at the scene said in their hearts...

"Hook shot? Chen, he actually hooked the shot!"

"This definitely can’t get in!"

"right!"

"That’s right!"

"Can not enter!"

"He doesn't know how to do this!"......

Valan is 213cm tall, a solid inside player.

【Anti-Giant Buster (Gold)】It is effective for players who are 5cm taller than you, but the greater the height difference, the better the effect.

It seems that the basketball has heard the voices of the Raptors fans!

""Ding!"

The ball that was about to go in bounced out.

"call!"

""Huh!"

The Raptors' home court actually heard a uniform sigh of relief.

Everyone seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they seemed to have forgotten that Chen Cheng's best skill was not the hook shot.

"With a"bang!", Chen Cheng jumped up for the second time. Although there was Valan between him and the basket, he took the rebound from his head.

After landing, Chen Cheng was held tightly by Valan again.

Chen Cheng continued to use his [straight arm hook].

This time!

This ball!

Did not go as the Raptors fans wished.

It went into the basket hollowly!......

This was the first time in Chen Cheng's NBA career that he used a straight-arm hook shot to score a goal!!!

""Shua!"

In the next offensive round,

Chen Cheng continued to ask for the ball in the low post and hooked it again!

""Shua!"

It hit!

Two consecutive hook shots!

The Raptors fans began to doubt whether Chen Cheng really had mastered the hook shot!

And Chen Cheng's third hook shot made the Raptors fans give up!

"Wow..."

"this..."

"Oh my god!"

Many fans put their hands on their heads, unable to believe what they saw.

At this moment, Chen Cheng brought more intimidation to the Raptors than that man!!!

The No. 23 who repeatedly blocked the Raptors from breaking out of the East!.......

On the offensive end, Chen Cheng almost destroyed the Raptors by himself. Moreover, Chen Cheng found that this hook shot saved a lot of energy compared to the strong dunk. After all, the hook shot did not require the arch to be too deep....

Chen Cheng's jumping ability...

If it's a little further away, it's easy to miss the dunk.

But on the defensive end, mainly the perimeter defense, the Thunder didn't do well enough tonight.

Although Payton Jr. worked hard and had defensive talent and potential, he was too young. Facing the third generation, the King of the North, DeRozan, who was at his peak, he couldn't defend.

6 minutes and 21 seconds in the first quarter.

DeRozan made a second acceleration with a sudden stop and start, and passed Payton Jr. cleanly. The sniper king Bojan had no time to assist in defense. DeRozan rushed to the basket, facing Chen Cheng's defense, and dodged with a 360-degree turn in the air, like a gyroscope, passing in front of Chen Cheng.

This offensive move is really cool....

It was very enjoyable to watch!

It was so beautiful that Chen Cheng was embarrassed to block it!

But Chen also wanted to save face!

Chen Cheng, who had a quick reaction, stood still and swung his hand back, blocking DeRozan's 360-degree aerial turn!!!
