Chapter 128
Having thought about it for a long time, Booker had already launched an attack after receiving Wembanyama's serve. Changtian had to keep up.
Booker faced Doncic's defense, or symbolically broke through first, but he didn't expect this breakthrough to attract the bag of wing Jaylen Brown. It seems that the opponent's ball can be seen now, and the current Booker is the team's most terrifying offensive firepower.
Booker has become familiar with this treatment in his years with the Suns, and has even honed some ability to share the ball under the bag. The moment he saw Jaylen Brown rushing towards him, his ball went straight to Wembanyama, who was standing in the bottom corner.
Although Wembanyama's three-point shooting rate was not high in the regular game, he was still full of confidence in the face of this unguarded situation, and he made a decisive three-point shot and hit it hollow.
In the next round, Doncic dribbled the ball past half court and gave the ball to James. But James was feeling a little tired at this point. After all, he is no longer young now, and the intensity of the confrontation in the front of this friendly game is okay, but the intensity in the second half is getting higher and higher, and it feels like a playoff or even a finals.
And because there are no substitutes, these players can only play on the court all the time, and naturally there is no time to rest, plus just a few breakthroughs, James's physical strength began to decline significantly.
After hesitating for a while with the ball, James chose to face Wembanyama and shoot a three-point shot directly. Because of the fear of Wembanyama's height and reach, James adjusted the arc of his three-point shot very high this time, but after the basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air, it turned out to be a three-pointer!
This shocked several other players, they had not seen James shoot such a ball in a game for a long time. Time seemed to freeze in the arena, and everyone didn't know what to do in the face of this situation.
And Coach Kidd suddenly stood up at this time, he clapped his hands, and attracted the attention of several players to himself: "Okay, stars, I think you should almost take a break, after all, according to the game time, you are equivalent to playing two consecutive quarters of the game without any rest and timeout."
Giannis scratched his head: "Has it been so long?
James put his hands on his knees, and when he saw Giannis's relaxed expression, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Who hasn't been young anymore, if it were ten years ago, I would definitely accompany him to the end to see who exhausted his physical strength first."
But despite what Giannis said, he honestly walked over to the rest area, apparently going to take a shower.
Since the people who organized this game have spoken, the other players will naturally not continue to play, so they went to take a shower and change clothes, and went back to their respective homes.
On the way back to San Antonio, Wembanyama couldn't help but complain to Chang Tiancheng: "Chang, did you see that guy Giannis play today? I really feel like I'm facing a monster!"
"Actually, if you can fight him for that long, it's kind of like a monster." Chang Tiancheng comforted Wembanyama, he didn't want Wembanyama's self-confidence to be hit.
"No, often, you're not in a position with him, so you can't feel it. Wembanyama shook his head, "I can say that I have tried my best against him this time, but he obviously didn't play his full strength, and I don't even think he has even half of his strength!" "
Is it so exaggerated as you said?" Chang Tiancheng smiled, hoping to make Wembanyama feel more relaxed in this way.
But Wembanyama's tone became more and more serious: "It's not that I'm exaggerating, often. When we do meet the Bucks, I'm afraid it's going to be a tough battle. Hopefully Drummond will be back at that time, so that our odds can be a little bit higher.
"What if he can't come back at that time, what will you do if you have to go to top Giannis?" Chang Tiancheng asked.
"Then I'll talk to Coach Popovich in advance and ask for another player to come with me to defend Giannis. Wembanyama thought for a while and then replied, "At least this season, if you want me to defend Giannis alone, I'm afraid it won't work too well."
Chang Tiancheng nodded: "Since you have said so, why don't we go to Coach Popovich now to discuss countermeasures?" "
Then there is no need, it is not too late to discuss it before we really play with the Bucks." Wembanyama said, "One more thing, often." Don't always think I'm in a fragile state of mind, and this time I was blown up by Giannis, which was completely expected. To be honest, I feel like I've played a lot better than I expected. "
Yes, yes, I can feel that you are really working hard as I watch from the sidelines. Chang Tiancheng echoed.
"Will you go straight home in a moment, or will you stay with me for a while?" Wembanyama changed the subject after expressing his feelings.
"Take me back to the apartment, I should be able to go back now. Chang Tiancheng thought about it, since Yin Tianyi had returned to Houston, it would not be good for him to disturb Wembanyama again. With his character, he will definitely start to review today's confrontation with Giannis as soon as he goes back.
"Okay, then I'll take you home first. Wembanyama nodded and drove the car in the direction of Chang Tiancheng's apartment.
After returning to the apartment, Chang Tiancheng found that his apartment seemed to have become much cleaner. The beds are neatly packed, the floors are clean, and even the contents of the refrigerator have been repositioned, which makes it look a lot more comfortable.
It seems that when he was away, Yin Tianyi helped him clean the entire small apartment. Thinking that he left others here alone last night, Chang Tiancheng actually felt a trace of guilt in his heart. Although the main reason is because I can only sleep one person in this apartment, but thinking about it carefully, there should have been a better way to deal with it yesterday, but I treated this matter negatively.
Thinking of this, Chang Tiancheng sent a text message to Yin Tianyi, thanking her for tidying up the apartment for herself, and feeling sorry for her attitude yesterday, and assured that she would face it with a more mature and problem-solving attitude next time she faced this kind of thing.
Yin Tianyi's reply was sent quickly, and in the text message, she expressed her understanding of Chang Tiancheng's behavior and expressed her willingness to tide over this difficulty with Chang Tiancheng.
