NBA: Crazy Little Giant

"Emm..."After hearing Chen Cheng's words, Westbrook's face was filled with a black question mark.

But Chen Cheng's words were like a meteorite falling into a calm lake, causing a huge wave that stunned all the reporters on the scene.

The reporters couldn't believe their ears....

What does this mean?

Is Chen Cheng planning to participate in the dunk contest?

The dunk contest is an"important" program of the All-Star Weekend, but the ratings of the dunk contest in recent years have been very low.

If Chen Cheng can participate in the dunk contest, even if it is just a hard dunk like usual, with his current popularity, the whole audience will definitely cheer. As for whether he can get first place, it is hard to say.

But what is certain is that if Chen Cheng participates in this dunk contest, the ratings will definitely be the highest in the past 10 years, and can even compete with Carter, McGrady and Francis.

"Chen, I know you like dunking, but are you serious?"Westbrook asked with a bit of a smile.

For a moment, all the reporters' attention was focused on Chen Cheng again.

"Haha." Chen Cheng laughed and said,"I will seriously consider this issue. Then, maybe Stephen and I will participate in this year's slam dunk contest together."

"ah!"

"Wow..."

"This?"

Chen Cheng revealed that he was going to participate in the dunk contest, just like a meteorite falling into the lake, but when Chen Cheng heard that Curry was also going to participate, at this moment, it was like two meteorites falling into the lake.

The reporters present were shocked.

Chen Cheng was very interested in whether to participate in the dunk contest, but Chen Cheng deliberately whetted the appetite of these reporters, and Chen Cheng also wanted to drag Curry into the water, ahem, no, to participate with Curry.

Chen Cheng set the atmosphere here, and Curry might really agree.

As for the fact that the league did not send Curry an invitation letter to the dunk contest, it doesn't matter.

As long as Curry nods in agreement...

The NBA officials will undoubtedly send him a"slam dunk contest invitation" in person.

As for what Chen Cheng and Curry will perform in the slam dunk contest, it doesn't matter. Even if the two of them miss every dunk in the game, the ratings will undoubtedly hit the highest-rated [slam dunk contest] in NBA history.

I believe the NBA will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity........

The Thunder will face the Detroit Pistons at home tonight.

The difference in strength between the two sides is huge, so it shouldn't be much to watch.

But tonight the Pistons coach took a different approach and thought of"using height to control height".

They activated the Pistons' secret weapon, the water dispenser guardian - Boban Marjanovic.

Boban Marjanovic, a giant with a height of 223cm, a wingspan of 233cm and a weight of 131kg.

He took the team's number five position. He formed an inside partner with Drummond.

When Chen Cheng, who is 226cm tall, has a wingspan of 230cm and weighs 139kg, stood with the giant Boban, it caused agitation among the home Thunder fans.

"OMG!"

"These two people are too tall!"

"yes!"

"horrible!"

"This makes the others look too small."

"Well, Russell looks like 1.7 meters tall at this time"......

Chen Cheng, who was standing next to Boban, suddenly seemed not so tall.

The reason why the Pistons sent Boban was very simple, that was to use their height to cover Chen Cheng. After all, Chen Cheng's offense was mainly concentrated under the basket. Although he had shot well near the free throw line recently, it was negligible compared to the number of offenses and efficiency under the basket.

This is a good idea.

But what the Pistons did not expect was that Chen Cheng's straight-line speed had been enhanced.

Now the straight-line speed of [62] is not at all disadvantageous for the center position.

In addition, Chen Cheng's strength, rebounding speed, rebounding ability, agility and speed are far beyond Boban.

But Boban's defense against Chen Cheng is indeed effective.

Boban is the only one in the active league who can make the [Anti-Giant Buster] badge invalid.

【Anti-Giant Killer is for opponents who are 5cm shorter than Chen Cheng, and it has a hit rate bonus effect.

Boban is only 3cm shorter than Chen Cheng.

When Chen Cheng came on the court, he directly faced Boban in the low post and hooked the ball. With a"Duang", the shot went blank.

But just as the Pistons coach had a smile on his face,...

Chen Cheng had already jumped into the air.

Boban, who was 223cm tall, was preparing to jump up.

""Snap!"

After Chen Cheng grabbed the rebound, Boban raised his long arms to cover Chen Cheng.

This time, Chen Cheng did not hook the ball, but leaned his body towards Boban.

Boban is 223cm tall and weighs 131kg.

But the lower limb strength of the two is not on the same dimension.

Besides, Chen Cheng is 8kg heavier than Boban.

Heavier than you!

And stronger than you!

Boban was pushed back a big step.

""Bang!" Chen Cheng succeeded in dunking the ball.......

It is difficult for Boban to defend Chen Cheng under the basket, which is different from how Boban defends Jokic.

Although Mr. Jokic has enough weight and strength, he is not as strong as Chen Cheng.

In addition, the height difference between the two is huge.

Jokic is often bullied by Boban under the basket.

But Chen Cheng is different....

Although the hook shot was blocked by Boban, Chen Cheng was able to use [Low Post Impact] to break through Boban's rim protection. In addition, Chen Cheng ran much faster than Boban. At the beginning of the game, Boban, who was full of energy, could barely keep up with him....

But after playing for 2-3 minutes, Boban saw Chen Cheng as fast as Iverson.

More importantly,...

Boban is a double-edged sword.

If the Pistons put both Drummond and Boban in the paint, there would be no space under the basket.

The Thunder's outside players can stick to them recklessly. Even if they are passed by them, they can still challenge Chen Cheng under the basket.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"......

Chen Cheng blocked 8 shots in the first half.

He had a chance to break the NBA regular season single-game block record tonight.

However, the Pistons coach"threw sand" in the second half.

He kept Boban on the bench and let Tobias Harris play the power forward position.

With the efforts of the entire Pistons team, Chen Cheng only got 11 blocks after 2 minutes and 1 second in the fourth quarter, and then he had no success.

Seeing the Pistons' outside players who would rather give up layups than challenge Chen Cheng, the Thunder fans booed angrily.

What does that mean!

Don't let our teacher Chen break the record?.......

In the end, Chen Cheng, who played for 32 minutes, scored 34 points, 17 rebounds, 11 blocks, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Tonight, Chen Cheng's rebounding data dropped seriously.

In addition to the fact that the opponent did not dare to attack the basket, a large number of long shots led to a lot of long rebounds, and the combination of Boban and Zhuang Shen, although they could not defend Chen Cheng's strong digging, they restricted Chen Cheng's hooks and rebounds well.

Boban, who is 223cm tall, knew that he could not beat Chen Cheng, but he would block and create opportunities for Zhuang Shen.

Thunder coach Billy Donovan looked at Boban, who had almost no playing time in the second half, and thought to himself:"No wonder 'Chen' proposed to be on the same team with him at the [meeting]."

At the beginning of the season.

Chen Cheng asked the management for three people.

7 Bojan, Jordan cursed - Bojan Bodanovic.

Dayao's old player - Diamond Louis Scola.

The last one is this - Boban Marjanovic.

When the team owner and general manager heard that Chen Cheng wanted him, they all showed an incredible expression.

Boban earned his worth in the San Antonio Spurs.

But after leaving the Spurs, Boban has always been the team's mascot and special weapon, and even normal playing time is difficult to get.

But if this big Boban really comes to our Thunder...
