Chapter 705 Unreserved Player

what! ! !
Chen Xin jumped up vigorously to block Chris's attack. Unexpectedly, at the moment the two collided, Chen Xin, who "presented" a clear advantage in physical fitness, was forcibly knocked away by Chris. The latter stabilized his shooting posture in the air and sent the ball into the basket.

The ball was not only successful, but also caused Chen Xin's foul, winning the opportunity to expand the point difference again.

Chris extended a hand of friendship to Chen Xin, and he pulled Chen Xin up from the ground by himself. Chen Xin is very strong, and usually two teammates are needed to pull him up, but Chris did it alone.

"His strength is so strong." Chen Xin looked at Chris with a surprised look. He also knew something about Chris. After all, he often watched NBA games, but in the league, Chris has always been a representative of delicate skills, and he is rarely seen in physical contact with opponents.

Huh~ Chris was very serious about executing free throws at the free throw line, but in the area on both sides of the free throw line, there was not a single player from the US team, only three players from the Chinese team.

"Did they give up on rebounding?" Liu Tianyu said softly.

"No, they believe that Chris can make free throws, so they don't need to grab rebounds." Zhang Jianing instantly understood the meaning of the US team's actions. It was not contempt for the opponent, but absolute trust in the teammates.

"That's too confident, just in case," Liu Tianyu continued.

"What if?" Chris seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and said before the shot, "There is no such thing." Then he threw the basketball in his hand, and the basketball produced a strong spin in the air and fell into the net.

Chris's shooting hand hovered in the air for a long time before letting go.

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Fang Tianzheng said after seeing this, "No matter how accurate a free throw is, there will be times when he misses it. Is it really okay not to arrange people to grab rebounds?"

"This is a team bet they made themselves. When teammates perform free throws, no one will be arranged to grab rebounds. This is also to passively improve the players' free throw percentage. If they miss a free throw, they will donate $5000." Lewis explained.

"5000 dollars?" The richness of NBA players is simply beyond Fang Tianzheng's imagination, but the reason why they made such a bet is also based on their strong strength.

"How much do you donate now?" Fang Tianzheng asked curiously.

Louis slowly raised his hand in the air and made a "0" gesture, "It's still 0 yuan so far."

This result was beyond Fang Tianzheng's expectations. 0 yuan means that no player has missed a free throw. In the past month, the US team played a total of 4 exchange games. In the 4 games, they did not miss a free throw. It is unbelievable.

What's more, the American team's free throw level is uneven. The free throw percentage of outside players is generally high, but the shooting percentage of inside players is much worse. This is a problem that has always existed in the American team.

"So the hit rate of those big guys is 100%." ​​Fang Tianzheng asked in a suspicious tone.

Louis nodded slightly, "Of course."

Fang Tianzheng seemed to have heard a very terrible news. From the beginning of the Dream Team's birth, the inside line has always been the biggest problem of the American team. The most prominent problem is free throws. The free throw percentage of those big men is really bad, but now they have solved even the biggest problem.

"None of them are willing to shell out that $5000, so the free throws are very focused."

Chris’s tough performance seemed to turn on the switch of the US team’s game, especially Davis, who used Liu Tianyu’s gorgeous and dreamy footsteps in the matchup, and successfully sent Liu Tianyu flying. Although Chen Xin also made a limit block, Davis still bypassed his fingertips and hit the net.

Davis has a soft touch that is rare for big players. His style of play is more like a Chinese inside player, capable of inside and outside, with a long range and soft shots.

Liu Tianyu responded in the next round, but his shooting position was farther than Davis and closer to the three-point line. Generally, big men who shot at this position would not be too closely marked, so Liu Tianyu almost made an open shot, and the basketball went into the frame.

"Huh? This range? I underestimated you." Davis also gained a certain understanding of Liu Tianyu's technical style of play with this shot, which is very similar to his own style of play, which allows him to more easily catch the opponent's loopholes when defending.

Playing like Liu Tianyu is not a long-term tactic for the Chinese team, because the core of China is still Zhang Jianing, and his matchup has the most obvious advantage.

When Zhang Jianing held the ball again, Jackson suddenly became nervous. He only felt such a strong sense of tension when he was facing top small forwards like James and Barrett.

"Why? The opponent is just a Chinese player, why am I nervous?" Jackson couldn't explain why he felt this way, but this feeling did exist.

"This guy has the same terrifying strength as James." When Jackson reacted, Zhang Jianing had already broken through him. The moment the two brushed shoulders, it seemed that it was not Zhang Jianing who passed him, but James.

Then, there was a roaring basket bombing sound from the back of his head, Zhang Jianing completed the violent dunk on Howard, and poor Howard could only obediently become the background board.

"I said you people, can you be more serious?" Zhang Jianing's eyes showed a fierce look. He attached great importance to this exchange match, and he hoped that his opponents would pay the same attention, so that the exchange match would be meaningful.

After seeing Zhang Jianing's serious attitude, the players of the US team were a little surprised, "This kid should not play the exchange game as a regular game."

The meaning of the exchange game, as the name suggests, is to exchange tactics or play styles with each other. Both sides of the game mainly focus on training and will not bring out the real core of the team. This is the difference between the exchange game and the regular game.

However, judging from Zhang Jianing's attitude at the beginning of the game, it didn't seem like the attitude of exchanging love at all. He is the only player on the field so far who has no reservations.
