Chapter 20 Fighting the Grizzlies

The appearance of Channing made Billy King instantly refreshed. He was eagerly looking forward to Channing messing up his summer league debut, and then he could justifiably persuade the boss to deal with the rookie.

Danny Ainge of the Celtics is also paying attention to this game. Billy King has not given feedback on his trade proposal. Ainge is not in a hurry. He knows that Billy King is a good person and will definitely satisfy him in the end. , let Billy King think for a moment now.

As soon as Channing came on the court, he got an open opportunity. He tried a mid-range shot and missed the shot. Although he had nothing to do on the offensive end, he ran actively, took the trouble to pick and roll the guards, and passed the ball quickly. Vitality makes the Chinese team's offense less old-fashioned.

Finally, under the solid cover of Chen Ning, Wang Shipeng broke through the penalty area with his awkward dribble, and passed back to Chen Ning in the face of double-teaming.

Big open!
"Can't shoot! He can't shoot!"

Billy King was thinking in his heart, and he had already shouted out.

According to Billy King's data, Channing's shooting skills are very rough, and basically he has never hit the middle distance in official games, not to mention the short-term increase of 12 kg of muscle, which will definitely have a great impact on shooting shots!

Sure enough, it was still a strike.

"Look, I just said he doesn't have any offensive ability." Billy King was triumphant.

Snyder frowned. As a boss who doesn't understand basketball, he was also shaken. Compared with Channing, Thaddeus Young has a variety of weapons on the offensive end. He has a good mid-range and good offensive ability at the basket. Worth cultivating?However, the No. 12 pick is traded down for the No. 20 pick. No matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making deal.

"Okay, you call Danny Ainge and ask him to add another 300 million in cash, otherwise we won't talk!"

Danny Angie was ecstatic, that fool Billy King really took the bait, but the 76ers suddenly raised the price, which made Angie very unhappy. A Thaddeus Young is nothing, the key is 300 million cash, you know, Channing’s salary It's only 200 million, and the Celtics don't have much salary space. Moreover, Angie is still waiting for a more important news, a good news from his old friend for many years and the current general manager of the Timberwolves, McHale.

KG!

Angie is ambitious, Pierce + Ray Allen + KG, once successful, will overturn the entire league, just around the corner!

If you add the point guard Rondo, the center meat shield Perkins, and the potential striker Channing, the fire of the Celtics will definitely burn!
Operating such a big deal that shocked the league requires Angie to be extra careful. The salary cap, the approval of the league, and all aspects need to be considered. Before KG arrives, every sum of money cannot be spent casually.

Angie made up her mind, instead of agreeing in a hurry, she delayed Billy King first.

The management negotiated various transactions, but the situation on the field changed suddenly.

Channing stopped trying to attack with the ball, and instead focused on the defensive end, he began to show terrifying dominance. Although Kirilenko's defensive package fusion was only 60%, in the summer league, it was simply a start. A strange existence.

The Grizzlies' second-round rookie center Courtney turned around and passed the slow and soft big tree Zhang Songtao. He wanted to perform a dunk, but was easily blocked by Channing in time.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, the small steel cannon Lowry completely left Zhang Songtao behind with a change of direction, but the final layup was rejected by Channing's long arms.

Conley easily pushed Liu Wei away, shot a mid-range jumper, and a big man jumped out from the stab, and missed Conley's shot with his fingertips.It's Channing again!
"After Chen Ning came on the court, he sent three blocks in a row. The Grizzlies didn't score a point in 3 minutes! The Chinese team counterattacked again. Li Nan's three-pointer, Xiao Li's flying knife, has it!"

Jonas nodded and applauded. Channing made a great contribution on the defensive end after he came on the court, not only blocking shots, Channing made a lot of statistics in terms of blocking defensive rebounds, protecting the inside line and helping the outside line to defend. This made Jonas very satisfied.

Snyder regretted it a bit. With his brutal blocking and quick movement, Channing's style of play was too entertaining. It seemed, uh, not being able to attack wasn't a big deal.

The two sides drew a tie, the Chinese team successfully passed the unsuitable start, and the Grizzlies also started to get serious after relaxing and blindly playing after leading too much.

"Cheer up, the No. 12 show on the opposite side has something!"

As a sophomore who has been in the rotation position of the Grizzlies, Lowry stabilized the situation. After playing a pick-and-roll with insider Courtney, he no longer forced to challenge Channing, but chose an assist, a beautiful pass Flying around Channing's fingertips, it flew down to Courtney's hand.

"A-Ning, A-Ning, help me!" Zhang Songtao couldn't resist, and was brutally beaten.

Qian Ning can't do anything about it. This Zhang Songtao always misses people. He made up for him twice before, but Zhang Songtao relies on Qian Ning instead. When he sees something bad, he calls for Qian Ning's help.

"Come down quickly!"

Yunus couldn't stand it anymore, and sent Yi Jianlian to replace Zhang Songtao, and at the same time, he crossed Zhang Songtao's name out of the 08 Olympic squad in his heart.

Why are there always players like this?Jonas remembered his famous nine questions.If Yao Ming is on the court, he will rely on Yao Ming to play. If Yao Ming is not on the court, he will not be able to play at all. He played like shit in the first few minutes today. Now that he sees that Chen Ning is very strong, he starts to rely on him again. What can such a player be expected to do? ?Go down early and rest.

Lowry showed a mature ability to control the court. Although he couldn't penetrate the basket dominated by Channing, he was able to drive his teammates through passing and defense, especially the high-intensity defense, which made it difficult for the Chinese defenders to move forward.

Under the pressure of Lowry and Conley, Liu Wei made a mistake and lost the ball!
"The back line made another mistake. The Chinese team made 6 mistakes today. Lowry quickly counterattacked."

Going down quickly, Lowry is very confident in his ball-handling speed, the small steel cannon is strong and fierce!

Liu Wei was thrown far away, he could only watch the ball and sighed, and was about to walk over to serve the baseline.

But Chan Ning did not give up. The moment he saw Liu Wei being double-teamed, Chan Ning predicted that he would drop the ball. When Lowry took the ball and was about to drop it, he had already taken great strides to catch up.

There were only the two of them in the entire frontcourt.

"It's so fast, faster than Lowry."

"It's unbelievable, it's Wade at 2 meters!"

Lowry's speed with the ball must be slower than running empty-handed. As soon as he entered the three-point line, Channing chased after his ass.

Into the blocking distance!Instead, Channing slowed down and controlled the distance. At the same time, he paid attention to Lowry's footsteps. He knew that at this time, he had to beware of the opponent's confrontation and fouls.

Many fast break and breakthrough masters will take the initiative to create physical contact before taking off. For example, James in the NBA and Guo Ailun in the CBA. A defensive foul, for this kind of high-speed fast break, many referees often subconsciously call a foul on the defender, thus getting a 2+1 chance.
