The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 169 169 New Aids! Demon God's lackeys!
The fans who were listening to the nonsense of the Big Three and exaggerating Zhou Si in various disguises were a little confused.

Zhou Si, who was sitting on the bench and chatting with his teammates, also looked blank. He was just chatting with Lillard and didn't care too much about the court.

After a while of confusion, Zhou Si finally figured out that it was Nolan Smith who sprained his ankle when he landed unsteadily when he landed for a layup.

Fortunately, there were no Spurs players around him, and the suspicion of the Spurs was also ruled out through replays.

However, it is predictable that the Spurs with a large number of criminal records will fall into the crotch of yellow mud again, which is either shit or shit.

For player load management, the Trail Blazers team doctor has been doing a good job.

After all, products produced by the sun must be high-quality products!
But I can’t hold Nolan Smith too hard, learn from Zhou Si and practice secretly!
As the Trail Blazers' backup point guard, Nolan Smith doesn't get much playing time, but his role is obvious.

When Zhou Si is not there and the opponent double-teams Lillard, he can sort out the offense on the court.

The Blazers don't have many players with independent offensive and coping abilities, which is the main reason why their main injury record dropped sharply last season.

Although the ankle sprain was not very serious, it also cast a shadow over the Blazers' victory.

Nolan Smith is very frustrated. A player like him who has no special skills is the most likely to be eliminated by the NBA. This injury may be a turning point in his career.

Zhou Si can only give this Lillard horse a good encouragement.

What he has is self-healing, not healing, and he can only express his helplessness.

Nolan Smith's injury reminded Coach Stotts that their current team's lineup is not deep enough and the fault tolerance rate is too low. The lack of Nolan Smith will affect the strength, not to mention other important rotations.

Take a break!
Reinforce!
Coach Stotts knew it was time to test him.

In the case of guaranteeing the record, we must pay attention to the health of the players.

……

When the Trail Blazers fans were saddened by Nolan Smith's injury, they didn't notice that a name was quietly missing from the team's roster for the last game.

On February 2, Blazers fans are very excited, because tonight the Blazers opponent is the Jazz!
It is a pity that they were not able to witness Zhou Si scoring 78 points and a lore at the Jazz's home court before!
Tonight they will witness Zhou Si's scoring performance live!
As for whether Zhou Si will be soft?
Hehe, there is Kanter who has filled up the anger of the demon god on the opposite side!
Moreover, the current ranking of the Jazz is still ninth in the Western Conference, and they are trying their best to sprint for the playoffs. The victory of each game may determine the fate of the Jazz!
They can't take Kanter off!
……

Courtney Lee is happy he finally made it out of Boston!
At the beginning of the season, the new head coach, Marshal Stevens, said he was in the team's future puzzle.

But slowly he discovered that the facts were completely different from what the coach said!
He was forced to learn all kinds of defensive skills and shoot fewer threes!
For him who has a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% all the year round, it is a kind of suffering!
You can do the dirty work, but why can't you shoot three-pointers?

In the face of his doubts, Coach Stevens just replied lightly, everything has to start with defense!
Like Popovich, Stevens is the kind of coach whose team has to follow his will!

So Courtney Lee worked hard on defense!
However, Courtney Lee is still unclear to what extent he has studied defense. The three-pointer he relies on most has become worse and worse, and his shooting percentage has dropped to 35%!
Seeing that Bradley is being reused more and more, Courtney Lee knows that his life will become more and more difficult.

When he learned from his agent two days ago that he would be traded away, Courtney Lee laughed happily without asking where he was traded.

He believes that no matter where he is traded, it will be [-] times better than staying with the Celtics.

When Courtney Lee heard from his agent that he was traded to the Trail Blazers, he really felt like he had won the $500 million lottery.

That's a pioneer!
Although the team leader Zhou is called the Demon God!
Although Zhou was said to be independent by the media, he was said to be a waste of his teammates!
However, his assists leader in the league came out of a real game!
Courtney Lee, who has studied Zhous video, is ready for a dog lick!
As long as he can shoot three-pointers, so what if he is a lackey of the Demon God?

……

"Lee, we need you to start on defense."

I haven't seen the legendary Demon God yet, but Courtney Lee's heart is a lot colder after hearing Coach Stotts' words!
Falk...

Why is it like this again!
Why do I feel like I just came out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den!
"Yes, Coach!
I'm definitely going to play defense seriously, that's what I do with the Celtics!"

Courtney Lee showed a cute look.

Coach Stotts nodded in satisfaction.

This player looks very obedient!
……

Wow, so handsome, so powerful!
Courtney Lee, who was led by coach Stotts to the training hall, recognized Zhou Si from the crowd at a glance!
Sure enough, he is like a demon god that people cannot ignore, extraordinary!
Everyone is vaguely centered on him!
clap clap clap!
Coach Stotts clapped his hands, and everyone stopped to look at him and the slightly thin figure beside him.

Have a new teammate?

……

Tonight, Rose Garden Arena!
While habitually marveling at Zhou Si's explosive performance, many people also paid attention to Courtney Lee!
"Wow, that new recruit looks good!"

"Yes, I watched the Jazz game last time. Except for Zhou, no one can limit that Burks, but I didn't expect this new aid to defend well!"

On the court, Burks, who was going to take advantage of Zhou Si's rest to score a wave of points, was a little dumbfounded!
Although the player on the opposite side looks very thin, although his physical fitness is not very good, his defensive skills are very solid and he is very hardworking!
"Tsk tsk, Birx is deflated again!"

Barkley complained.

"I have paid attention to Courtney Lee before, and his defensive skills are still very comprehensive."

Kenny Smith looks like I knew it would!
"Using the fringe man Wharton to add a second-round pick in exchange for a defensive expert, the Blazers are making a lot of money with this wave of operations!"

O'Neill said what a lot of viewers were thinking!
Walton has played the role of water dispenser administrator in the Trail Blazers this season, and his presence is extremely low!
In fact, the Celtics didn't feel that they had lost much. Courtney Lee was not in their future puzzle, and their back line was too crowded, so it's better to gamble with another draft pick in the future!
In the eyes of the Celtics management on the road to reconstruction, draft picks are much more important than Courtney Lee.

"It's a pity... there are no three points..."

Barkley, who watched Courtney Lee miss two consecutive three-pointers, muttered to himself.

It would be even better if there is a defense and a three-pointer.

Otherwise, the tactical role will drop a lot in the playoffs.

"That's right... have you heard?
In addition to Courtney Lee, the Trail Blazers seem to have a new deal on the horizon!"
