Chapter 896 Beverly drools
Westbrook can often perform explosively on the court because of his temper, but he is also very easy to get angry.
Beverley is a smart player and he wanted to take advantage of that tonight.
Westbrook was not sloppy at all after getting the ball at the top of the arc. He changed direction and rushed inside with the explosive bag.
DeAndre Jordan and Al Harrington were also brought in.
Together with Beverley, Westbrook forced a shot against the three-man defense!
"Bang!"
The basketball hit the board first and then bounced out of the frame!
Chen Yan focused on counterattack and ignored Jimmy Butler.
Jimmy Butler rushed in and clicked on the rebound, but did not make up the score.
Jimmy Butler knew that he had failed to seize this opportunity and would be punished by Chen Yan.
Sure enough, after Jordan got the rebound, he threw it forward.
Jordan is very confident in Chen Yan's speed, so he usually doesn't control his intensity very much, as long as he can get past half court in the first time.
Jordan's idea is not wrong, but the pass was slightly exaggerated.
Chen Yan sprinted at full speed and took one step ahead of the baseline before barely controlling the ball.
Chen Yan braked suddenly, and when he was about to cross the baseline, he hooked his right hand and scored a goal.
Director Xu shook his head: "The most direct feeling of this ball is that Chen Yan and the basketball are racing 100 meters."
"In addition to his speed, Chen Yan's body control and finishing ability are also top-notch. Other players may not be able to score." Zhang Lijia can always find different angles to criticize Chen Yan.
After Chen Yan returned to the defensive half, he patted Jordan: "Next time you give me a long pass, remember to tell me in advance that I need to prepare a rocket."
Jordan didn't feel guilty at all: "Boss, I knew you could catch up."
Bulls head coach Thibodeau yelled at Jimmy Butler: "Do your job! Keep an eye on your man! Don't run around, Shet!"
Jimmy Butler nodded expressionlessly. He is not the kind of person who loses control when criticized by his coach or teammates.
Bulls offensive possession.
Westbrook took the ball, and Beverley kept taunting him verbally.
Westbrook didn't even look at his teammates, he just changed direction!
After eating Beverley alive, he hit the basket and scored hard!
4:5.
After the ball was scored, Westbrook made a cradle celebration towards the camera.
This action means to mock Beverly for acting like a little baby in front of him.
Beverley also has a temper, and kept squirting at Westbrook while dribbling the ball across half court.
Westbrook's temper was detonated again, and he directly knocked down Beverley during the steal.
"Beep!"
The referee called Westbrook a defensive foul.
Westbrook defended the referee, while Beverley applauded next to him.
What Beverly wants is that Westbrook can't control his emotions.
D'Antoni looked on the sidelines and nodded. If a team wants to succeed, it must have one or two villains. Beverley plays this role in the Knicks.
Beverley also knows the role he plays. He is not disgusted with it and is willing to play this role to the extreme. Not every player is the protagonist like Chen Yan. The ultimate goal of most players is to "survive". Earn yourself a contract in the league.
To achieve this goal, players sometimes have to be shameless.
The Knicks served again, and Beverley stepped forward and pretended to catch the ball. Battier glanced at him and threw the ball to Chen Yan at the top of the key.
Without Curry and David West, Chen Yan will naturally become the Knicks' absolute main attacker.
The Bulls know this too.
The moment Chen Yan caught the ball and landed, Westbrook and Jimmy Butler covered him up.
Beverley ran to a 45-degree angle on the left, thinking: Hey, now I have an open three-point opportunity.
Chen Yan glanced at it before landing. There were only two people there, so there was a lot of space.
So Chen Yan did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, he kicked off his left foot after landing and rushed directly to the right!
This is the simplest and crudest way to break a double team. Before the two people can completely form a circle, they rush in one direction!
In this way, one of the defensive players will naturally help himself to block the other defensive player.
Chen Yan chose to break through in the direction of Jimmy Butler.
Although JB is very tough, his athletic ability is not as good as Westbrook.
Chen Yan tore open a hole with a sudden thrust.
Westbrook wanted to start, but was blocked by Jimmy Butler.
Chen Yan drove to the basket and scored two points with a flying basket.
"Yo! The sudden attack was very determined and he scored two points! Chen Yan has a strong desire to attack tonight!" Zhang Liji said happily.
The reason is not that Chen Yan has a strong desire to attack, but that he really has no choice.
The four teams around Chen Yan now are Beverley, Battier, Al Harrington and Jordan. They are all players without the ability to attack independently, so tonight the Knicks' offense has to be done by Chen Yan himself. .
Bulls offense.
Westbrook continued to struggle with Beverley.
Such a confrontation consumes physical energy, but it doesn't matter to Beverley. Anyway, his playing time is basically evenly divided with Barea's, and the remaining energy has no other use except having sex with his wife.
"Russell! Please cooperate!"
Thibodeau couldn't stand it anymore and yelled from the sidelines.
Although Westbrook is the team's top player, Thibodeau, as the head coach, will not allow him to go back and get the ball and go it alone.
After all, he is not Kobe, and Westbrook has not proven himself in the NBA.
Westbrook hesitated after hearing Thibodeau's call, then pulled back and passed the ball to Butler on the wing.
"Snapped!"
Chen Yan saw through Westbrook's intention and flew directly to the basket after stealing the ball.
Jimmy Butler was chasing after him. Although he knew it was impossible to catch up, Jimmy Butler had this tenacity.
Jimmy Butler didn't give up until he was one step ahead of the free throw line.
Because Chen Yan has already started.
At this time, if you force yourself to come up from behind, it is very likely to give him a 2+1.
"Bang!"
Chen Yan's domineering tomahawk dunk did not give any fans at the United Stadium any face.
8:5.
Chen Yan scored 8 points in the opening game.
This dunk also woke up Westbrook a lot, and he ignored Beverley's provocation in the next round.
Westbrook is just easily fooled, not a fool.
In fact, Westbrook is very smart. His math scores were always top-notch when he was a student. Stanford University was even willing to provide him with a mathematics scholarship.
Westbrook took a step inside after the pick-and-roll, and then passed it to Asik.
Seeing that Asik had no room to penetrate inside, he immediately took the pass hand-in-hand and used Gibson's cover to rush in from the left.
After entering the paint area, Westbrook seemed to have a multiplier!
Soar into the sky!
Explosive dunk!
Even Jordan didn't react to this dunk, it was too fast and too abnormal.
"yeah!!!!!!"
The scene was filled with excitement. This is the characteristic of Westbrook, who can quickly ignite the enthusiasm of the fans!
Faced with Westbrook's dunk that smashed Huashan, Chen Yan's response was a bit overwhelming.
After Beverley passed half the court, Chen Yan caught the ball hand-to-hand in two steps from the top of the arc.
Just when Beverley was about to run, the Bulls were about to cover him.
Chen Yan took action.
"Shh!"
Absolutely empty net!
11:7.
The decibels at the scene were instantly lowered a lot. Chen Yan's ball was a bit like killing people every ten steps and leaving no trace for thousands of miles.
Chen Yan had a smooth start, but Thibodeau thought about it and replaced Jimmy Butler with veteran Hamilton.
Thibodeau wanted to use Hamilton's experience to slightly restrict Chen Yan, but the effect was even worse.
Hamilton's martial arts skills have now been reduced by 50%, especially his athletic ability, which is basically gone. He himself admitted at the beginning of the season that this is likely to be his last season.
Thibodeau asked Lul Deng to defend again, but the effect was not good.
Neither single defense nor double-teaming can limit Chen Yan.
陈炎第一节打了9分钟12投10中，其中三分球3中3，罚球5中5，拿到25分3篮板1助攻。
Seeing this data, Beverly on the side was salivating. He would be satisfied when his average data per game can reach Chen Yan's level in one quarter.
