However, although Sabonis Jr. was very uncomfortable being restricted by Giannis, his static physical talent still supported him to prop up his arms, interfering with Giannis's shot.
The basketball smashed on the back edge of the rebound and failed to make the shot.
Wembanyama took the defensive rebound and gave the ball directly to Chang Tiancheng. Chang Tiancheng quickly came to the opponent's half with the ball, James followed him closely behind him, after finding that Chang Tiancheng stopped in the half again, James directly stuck to Chang Tiancheng this time, saying that he didn't want to do a multiple-choice question, I won't give you room to shoot directly, see how you play your half-court three-point.
Chang Tiancheng was forced to stop the ball under James' pressure and soon teetered on the edge of walking. At the last moment, Chang Tiancheng passed the ball to Wembanyama, who ran from the backfield.
After Wembanyama received the ball, he faced Giannis's defense and made a series of flashy dribbles that did not belong to a man of his height, and then suddenly pulled up from outside the three-point line and threw a three-pointer.
However, Giannis's defense was still very good, he did not lose his defensive position under Wembanyama's dribble, and Wembanyama made quick interference moves when Wembanyama made a three-point shot. In the end, it was Wembanyama's three-point shot that made the iron successful.
Giannis took advantage of the situation to accept the long rebound, and then quickly dribbled to the opponent's frontcourt, seeing that there was only one Sabonis Jr. standing in the restricted area on the inside, and Embiid was still slowly returning to the defense, Giannis directly broke into the opposing team's interior line, and seemed to be going to go straight to the basket.
Sabonis Jr. is very smart, he knows that it is unlikely to try to steal or block Giannis's offense at this time, and there is a high probability that he will have to pay a foul, so he put his hands in front of him, stood in a defensive position, and faced Giannis's offense, intending to cause Giannis's offensive foul.
However, when Giannis broke in front of him, he suddenly used a very large European step, directly bypassed Sabonis Jr.'s defense, and then gently put the basket with his left hand to complete the end of this attack.
I don't know when Kidd coach and owner Cuban of the Mavericks have quietly appeared on the sidelines and began to enjoy the matchup between the two top stars. Although Wembanyama and Chang Tiancheng have not yet made it to the All-Stars, this season's All-Stars for both of them can be said to be a sure thing. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this friendly game is an all-star lineup.
"Kidd, which of these players do you think are suitable for Doncic today. Cuban asked with interest, although these players may be a bit troublesome to trade, but as long as it can really make a qualitative change for the Mavericks, he is not unwilling to try.
"Chang Tiancheng and James are both the same type of players as Doncic, and they can be ruled out first, and their addition will only cause problems in the distribution of the ball. "Embiid isn't bad, but I don't really like his playoff performances, and he seems to be playing more like an outside player on the offensive end, and although he has improved a lot this season, I still don't recommend trying to trade him."
"You still need to say this, even if I want it, the 76ers will definitely not give it." Cuban smiled bitterly, "He just won an MVP last season, and the team won't even think about trading him directly."
"Well, in that case, I think the people on the court, the most suitable for Doncic is probably Wembanyama and Giannis. Kidd touched his chin and gave his answer, "If you want to keep the team competitive in the long term, I recommend Wembanyama, and if you want to be immediate, I recommend Giannis."
"If we can ask the Spurs to come to Wembanyama, then he and Doncic will grow together, and the two will take turns to reach the top, and I guess our team can win three or four championships." Cuban looked at Wembanyama, his eyes lit up, but soon, the light in his eyes dimmed again, "It's a pity, if I go to the Spurs and say that I want to trade Wembanyama, that old man from Popovich will probably scold me directly." "
Then only Giannis is left?" Kidd raised an eyebrow, "Giannis is not bad, you can also see, there are so many stars on the court, but he is clearly the strongest one, and he can bring a huge improvement to the team on both offensive and defensive ends." If I can get him, I can guarantee that the Mavericks have at least an 80% chance of winning the championship this season. "
Is that an exaggeration?" Cuban smiled, "It's kind of interesting, and I'm kind of tempted to try it." "
The players on the pitch didn't know they were being discussed, and their attention was completely focused on the game.
Chang Tiancheng first turned his back to James, and the moment he saw Booker come out of his pocket after going around the baseline, Chang Tiancheng waved the ball with one hand.
After Booker received the ball, he was unrelenting, pulled up a jumper directly outside the three-point line, and continued to hit.
"Speaking of which, Booker is also very strong. Cuban watched Booker's three-pointer hit again, and showed an exaggerated expression, "It's a pity that the Suns shouldn't move." Seriously, I feel like the Suns would rather trade Durant than trade Booker right now. And looking at their actions in the previous offseason, this is also going for the championship.
"After all, it's Durant's last few years, if you can take advantage of the opportunity, maybe you can really win a championship?" Kidd shook his head as he thought of the Suns' trade for Paul from the Wizards for Beal in the offseason, "The competition in the West is really getting more and more fierce now, but I always have a feeling that the Nuggets have a high probability of successfully defending the title this year."
Cuban smiled, not talking to Kidd, his eyes were already firmly fixed on Giannis on the court, and in his heart, a big game of chess was brewing at this time.
Giannis made a block for Doncic from the outside, then handed the ball to Doncic, and then suddenly turned and ran back, directly shaking off Sabonis Jr.'s defense and leaping into the air.
Doncic understood and threw the ball into the sky with both hands, and Giannis received the ball and dunked it into the basket.
The air relay cooperation between the two can be said to be smooth, and it is completely impossible to see that this is the first time that the two have partnered together.
Chang Tiancheng saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "These two people deserve to be the top inside and outside lines in the league, this cooperation is really seamless, I am afraid that I and Wembanyama may not be able to play such a smooth cooperation often..."
