Chapter 151
Although the Spurs' coach Popovich repeatedly told Chang Tiancheng to help Wembanyama grow as much as possible on the field, Chang Tiancheng also believes that he has this obligation.
However, after he wanted to warn Wembanyama in the first round, he may have missed the best chance to shoot and had to make a hasty shot, so Chang Tiancheng decided to let Wembanyama play the best game in his own style.
After all, those unreasonable choices in his eyes may be a good opportunity
for Wembanyama to make a move? Fox took the ball to the frontcourt, this time he called Huerter to block for himself, the intention was already obvious, just now he rushed to the inside line and was directly capped by Wembanyama, so he simply let Wembanyama switch to him through the blocking and dismantling this time, so as to give him a chance to face Wembanyama head-on.
Fox also wanted to use this opportunity to test what level of Wembanyama's defense is really like.
Given Fox's extremely fast speed, it is impossible for the Spurs to choose to let Chang Tiancheng forcibly squeeze through the block and then chase Fox, so they can only choose to let Wembanyama switch defenses with Chang Tiancheng.
Wembanyama, who faced Fox, was not afraid at all, but showed a look of excitement on his face, and it seemed that he had long wanted to test whether he could defend this super defender who is known for his speed one-on-one.
Fox first made a few changes before the crotch dribble was connected, but never made it clear which direction he would break through Wembanyama.
Wembanyama could only bend his waist as low as he could, while maintaining his squat, lowering his center of gravity and concentrating on the timing to jam Fox's breakout lane.
But Fox didn't play according to the routine, only to see him go directly through Wembanyama's crotch, and at the same time he bypassed Wembanyama's defense from the other side, and then picked up the ball from behind Wembanyama and killed the Spurs' inside.
At this time, Wembanyama was unable to get up and chase for a while because he had been lowering his center of gravity before, and could only watch Fox stage a wave of human balls, and then faced Collins' supplementary defense, and easily scored a throw.
Chang Tiancheng didn't expect Fox to use such an imaginative offensive means to break through Wembanyama's defense, but he didn't have time to reflect on that offense, and after receiving Collins' serve, he took the ball to the Kings' half.
Chang Tiancheng passed the ball to Wembanyama as soon as he passed halftime, and he also knew that Wembanyama needed an attack at this time to vent his anger that he had just been played.
After Wembanyama received the ball, he no longer planned to shoot, but began to increase his efforts to single the opponent's power forward Huerter.
Huerter naturally couldn't withstand Wembanyama's own low-post offense, and was forced to go to the basket from near the free throw line.
Wembanyama took a straight step, turned around, and in the face of Sabonis Jr.'s defense, he did not retreat, but jumped directly and tried to complete a two-handed dunk.
Naturally, Sabonis Jr. didn't want to be Wembanyama's backdrop, so he jumped with all his strength and stretched out his arms to try to stop Wembanyama's attack.
But Wembanyama, who had just been aroused, was so easily blocked, and this time he was bound to attack, not to mention that Sabonis Jr. himself was not a player known for defense, so Wembanyama completed a two-handed dunk on his head.
"Oh my God, Wembanyama's ball is too violent!" The Spurs fans at the scene couldn't help but get up and cheer when they saw this scene.
"I don't think it's been a long time since I've seen him attack like this, I guess he just got caught up by the ball, and I'm a little angry. Some Spurs fans who were still able to keep their sanity analyzed.
"Victor! detain a few more of them!" and some of the fans who were watching the excitement were heckling.
Sabonis Jr. listened to these voices and didn't say much, but walked to the baseline, sent the ball to Fox casually, and then immediately ran to the front court of the Spurs.
At the same time, he exchanged glances with Huerter, who understood and decisively ran over to Corinth and put his head on his shoulder.
In this way, Wembanyama will have to face the opponent's Sabonis Jr.
Just used as a background board by Wembanyama, Sabonis Jr. must not have felt comfortable, so he came to the Spurs' interior, stuck Wembanyama's position, and then reached out to Fox to ask for the ball.
After partnering for a long time, Fox naturally understood what Sabonis Jr. meant, so he passed the ball without hesitation.
After receiving the ball, Sabonis Jr. suddenly exerted force and began to use his body to charge Wembanyama hard.
Wembanyama's body was still too thin compared to Sabonis Jr., and he was pushed to the basket by Sabonis Jr. in a few clicks, just like Huerter who went to the low post to face the opponent before.
Similarly, Sabonis Jr. also turned around with a sinking step, and then faced Wembanyama to dunk.
Fortunately, although Wembanyama is slightly lacking in confrontation, his static talent is still very trustworthy, and the moment the opponent revealed his intention to dunk, Wembanyama reached out and pressed the basketball in Sabonis Jr.'s hand.
Although Wembanyama's hand has been pressed on the basketball, he is far inferior to Sabonis Jr. in terms of strength, and was directly pressed down by Sabonis Jr. in the air, and the basketball smashed the basket, although it was not able to dunk in, but the momentum of all the players of the Kings team was driven.
Wembanyama suffered a slight sprain on his wrist due to the failure of the block just now, causing his palm to hit the basket. But as the saying goes, a minor injury can't get off the line of fire, and Wembanyama didn't communicate anything with the team, just sent the ball to Chang Tiancheng and continued to walk towards his offensive position.
And Chang Tiancheng saw Wembanyama move his wrist before serving, and knew in his heart that Wembanyama's defense just now might have injured him, so he hurriedly turned on the injury detection skill and scanned Wembanyama's physical condition.
Fortunately, his wrist was indeed only a slight sprain, and it did not pose any hidden danger, and he just needed to recuperate after that.
However, in the short term, Chang Tiancheng does not plan to pass the ball to Wembanyama again, and he is worried that the opponent may aggravate the injury due to excessive attack.
So, after dribbling the ball to the half, Chang Tiancheng stopped.
