Chapter 98

When defending David West and Peja, Channing is confident that he can defend against two in a short period of time, but facing Chris Paul, Channing decisively made his choice.

With a slide, Channing blocks Paul's drive.

So fast defense speed!

Paul couldn't help being stunned, it's really rare for a big man with such fast speed and agility.

Peja was already beckoning from outside the three-point line, but Paul was not in a hurry to pass the ball. He was inspired by Channing and wanted to test how agile the rookie was.

With a fast cat waist, the ball was handed over to the right hand. Paul took a big stride to the right. Suddenly, the ball returned to his left hand. After a short pause, Paul broke through to the left again.

Then, Paul took a large step back and suddenly pulled up.

Mid-range jumper!
The classic little fights big!

This is Chris Paul's special skill. It is known as the NBA's textbook-like small play big. Paul will give full play to the speed and agility advantages of the small man, through left and right changes, back and forth pauses, rhythm changes, combined with true and false shots. , playing with a bunch of big men in the palm of his hand, and often ended up with an ankle accidentally.

There are many outstanding small guards in the NBA, but Paul's small play is known as the most classic, because Paul has extremely fast pace, skillful dribbling, accurate mid-range shooting that can be shot anytime, anywhere, and a large rear. Relying on ability, the most important thing is that Paul is a basketball player with a super high golf quotient. When he is facing up to big players, he can often observe their center of gravity changes. As long as he sees the opponent's center of gravity is unstable, Paul has the confidence to complete Jump shot.

Facing Channing this time, Paul still gave up his shot space, but Chris Paul felt a little uneasy.

This big man is really too stable. He is faster and more agile than all the big men Paul has faced before. Paul has already made three fake moves in an instant, just to get a chance to make a move. Channing's center of gravity There is no chaos, his footsteps are still very steady, and he can even catch up and take off to block.

"What a perverted big man! Is this what LeBron said is the most promising rookie of the year?"

Channing didn't have time to think about it. The little guy Paul was too fast. Channing's brain couldn't react to a few fake moves in an instant. He could only follow his body's instinctive reaction to defend. This is an NBA-level guard, really strong. Much better than Chen Jianghua, Liu Wei and his ilk.

However, Channing's defensive goal has been achieved, allowing Paul to play singles and try to limit his shooting percentage.

"This guy, the arms are too long!"

Paul felt that Channing's fingers were about to poke his nostrils, and he couldn't help being startled. He thought he had already opened up enough space for his shot, but he didn't expect that after taking off, Channing, relying on his abnormal height and wingspan, insisted on jumping. Come and cap.

There is no way, Paul can only lean back as much as possible in the air and increase the arc of the shot.

In order to avoid blocking, this shot was shot.

"Beautiful defense, excellent defense awareness, excellent big defense and small defense!"

Reggie Miller couldn't help but praised, and the sports reporters on the sidelines quickly picked up their guns and short cannons, and kept shooting.

Philadelphia protected the rebound and immediately launched a fast break. Iguodala took the lead and scored after receiving a long pass from Miller, leading by 4 points.

At this time, there is a ding-dong sound, and the system pops up a prompt:

"Host regular pentagon all-round defensive mission, progress completed: defending point guard Chris Paul, has been achieved."

Chan Ning was overjoyed. He originally wanted to complete the defensive matchup with Peja first. He didn't expect that Peja basically didn't play alone. He just defended against David West. The system may judge that he was assisting in the defense and did not defend directly, so It doesn't count, but this time it's a real defense against Paul.

"It's no good to complete one fifth of the tasks, why can't we advance a lottery first?"

Qian Ning thought angrily, the system responded him with silence.

Paul controlled the ball and advanced, the Hornets made a comeback, still started the pick-and-roll, Paul firmly controlled the ball and broke through.This time, it was still Qian Ning who stood in front of him.

"Damn it, this big man will knock you down sooner or later!"

Paul cursed, he already knew Channing's terrifying defensive power in the attack just now, but this time, he still had to challenge Channing head-on.

For Channing, Coach Cheeks has given him the important task of being the first defensive leader, so it doesn't matter what defenders, defenses, switching defenses, etc. Channing needs to protect other teammates at any time, and try his best to fill up all defensive loopholes .

Chris Paul went up, this time he didn't use fancy fake moves, but pushed up the speed in one step, since the technique didn't work, he went straight up.

Channing quickly slid back and opened his hands, covering Paul's head all the time, preventing him from taking shots. Compared with blocking shots, making it difficult for the opponent to get a good shot is a better defensive choice.

Sure enough, Paul rushed all the way to the penalty area, but still failed to get rid of Channing, so he could only score the ball outside.

The right is Peja's point. Channing has followed the defense to the penalty area. Peja should be wide open. Paul deserves to be the king of assists. He was double-teamed in the paint, and he was still dodging in the air. The ball goes out.

"Finally come alive!"

Peja was very excited. Since the Cretaceous period, there has been a big vacancy on his side. Looking at the basketball flying towards him, Peja couldn't help but burst into tears.

However, he was only half happy.

A big hand appeared in mid-air, and snatched the basketball from it.

"Who?"

Peja quickly turned his head to look, could it be Channing again?Peja was getting a little nervous about Channing's defensive intimidation.

However, this time it was not Channing, but Iguodala, who spoiled Peja's good things.

Although Iguodala was relieved of the task of defensive engineers, his innate sense of defense allowed him to move to the best stealing position. Channing followed Paul to the penalty area, and Iguodala naturally moved to the right Lu moved to fill in the vacancy of Qian Ning, who happened to be waiting for a rabbit at this time, and he was ready to catch him.

Taking a big step, Iguodala raised his speed, and Peja couldn't keep up at all, so he could only watch Iguodala score a fast break dunk.

"Beautiful, the Philadelphia 76ers are obviously prepared tonight. Their defensive attack is very strong. They took an 8-2 lead in the start and forced the Hornets coach Byron Scott to call the first one tonight. pause."

"That's right, the Philadelphia 76ers looked like they had changed to a different team tonight. Although the tactics were simple on the offensive end, the execution was more resolute. The defensive end changed a lot. Channing was given more defensive freedom. At the same time, this talented rookie player makes the 76ers defense very difficult to penetrate."
