NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 72 Stern is good or bad, I like it so much
With the whistle of the referee, the starters of both sides began to appear.

Nuggets coach Bill Hanzlik is a new coach. Like Combe, he just took up the position of head coach this year.

There is no harm without comparison, and both of them took over teams with garbage lineups.

Comb has made the Raptors a powerhouse in the league, but the Nuggets are still hard to find a win.

After the opening game, Da Zhi actively participated in the team's offense and defense.

Last night, Kong Bu talked with Dazhi about his debut, and told him many times not to shoot casually, but to ensure his hit rate.

In the Raptors' offensive round, after Snow controlled the ball to the frontcourt, he lobbed the ball to Big Zhi outside the three-second zone.

Da Ben opened his arms, with blue veins popping up on his forehead, he tried his best to stop Batty and Garrett behind him.

"cast!"

He shouted loudly, reminding Dazhi not to miss this open shot.

Seeing this scene, Kong Bu's eyes were a little sore. The most successful thing he did since time travel was to trade Daben to himself.

Big Ben never cared about his own gains and losses. As long as Kumbu made a statement, even if all the statistics in a game were zero, he never felt dissatisfied.

Tonight is Dazhi's first show, and Daben really did his best to make Da Zhi more comfortable.

When helping Xiao Ao, he was stuck in one position, creating one-on-one opportunities for Xiao Ao.

Now he directly blocks two spots, leaving Da Zhi open to make a shot.

On the one hand, the two insiders of the Nuggets are indeed good enough, and Daben can get two of them with all his strength.

On the other hand, during the team training in the past few days, he could clearly feel that Da Zhi's strength is not very good.

In order to keep Kong Bu's famous brand of knowing people, and to prevent Kong Bu from being ridiculed by the outside world because of the poor statistics of Big Zhi's first show, Da Ben wanted to hold Big Zhi to dunk.

Da Zhi took a deep breath and made a direct mid-range shot.

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the hoop.

Two points to the account.

Big Zhi made a shot for the first time in his NBA career and got off to a good start.

When it came to the Nuggets' offensive round, their leader Lafonso Ellis made a mid-range shot and failed to score.

Ellis was in the same class as O'Neal, and his style was like Grant Hill, who had no organizational skills. At that time, many people had high hopes.

It's a pity that because of a serious injury, he completely disappeared from everyone. Right now, he is only averaging 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and his shooting percentage is only 40%.

A rebound appeared, and Ben under the basket tried his best to block the duo again, allowing Da Zhi to comfortably accept a defensive rebound.

Next, a scene that surprised everyone appeared.

I saw Dazhi holding the ball alone and quickly leading his teammates towards the frontcourt.

Old Thomas rubbed his eyes. He even suspected that he was hallucinating. Can a 216 cm man really control the ball to the frontcourt so quickly and smoothly?
Such basic skills are too rare among big players.

The man began to think again.

Good shooting, solid basic skills, fast speed, who dares to say that he is not the second generation of general, who is the old Thomas in a hurry.

There is no doubt that Big Zhi's show off on the court was arranged by Kong Bu.

In the past two days, Kongbu has been thinking about how to make Da Zhi take advantage of his own advantages and gain popularity in his debut.

Basic skills and speed are Big Zhi's advantages.

Speaking of basic skills, both Big Zhi and Yao Ming are from a basketball family. Both parents played basketball. They received professional training since they were young, and their basic skills are extremely solid.

As for speed, after all, Big Zhi has the nickname of Chasing Boy. His speed is definitely not as fast as those monster players like Chamberlain or Admiral, but among the big players, he is also a relatively top-notch existence.

Combining these two advantages, the scene just now was born.

After striding forward to control the ball, Da Zhi didn't rush to make a shot, because he kept in mind Kong Bu's instructions, and he couldn't make random shots to affect his hit rate.

After passing the ball to McGrady, he got into the three-second zone.

Batty was like a drowning landlubber, with his arms fluttering, he finally escaped from Da Ben's defense line and rushed to Da Zhi's side.

At this time, McGrady made a three-pointer.

"boom!"

Failed to score, Big Ben pressed Garrett under the basket to take off the rebound, and passed it to Big Zhi immediately.

There was a big open shot just now, but this time there is a defensive player in front of him.

Dazhi didn't think too much, and shot against Batty's defense. At this time, his position was only six or seven yards away from the basket, which happened to be his most comfortable shooting point.

The next second, the basketball flew towards the basket.

A piercing whistle blew, and then the basketball slammed into the rim and missed.

Batty was dumbfounded, did the referee blow his whistle?

What the hell?Foul yourself?

Just now, his fingertips did touch Da Zhi's palm slightly. According to the rules, if a defensive player touches his palm after the ball is released during shooting, it is also considered a thug foul.

But rules are rules, and in practice, such fouls are rarely whistled.

On the one hand, it is difficult for the referee to determine whether there is really contact, and on the other hand, it affects the fluency of the game.

At least Batty has never encountered someone who blows the whistle decisively at the first time like this, at least in his two-month career.

Although the ball was missed, Dazhi got two free throw opportunities.

At this time, the advantage of high free throw percentage is reflected, and there are two swishes, and two free throws are made.

Da Ben looked at his hands in a daze, and sighed secretly how could his hands be so unsatisfactory?
Making two free throws is like something out of a sci-fi movie to him.

Kumbu didn't think much about it, he just thought it was the home whistle.

But in the next few rounds, he overturned this idea.

Where is this home whistle?It's totally a prince whistle!
Dazhi seemed to be surrounded by an invisible force field. As long as Batty dared to stretch out his hand, the referee would dare to blow.

In the opening 3 minutes, Batty has already taken three fouls.

However, because the Nuggets' team did not use up the number of fouls, and the foul was not caused by Da Zhi when he was shooting, Da Zhi did not get a free throw opportunity.

Even so, three fouls at the beginning of the game are enough for Batty to drink a pot.

Kong Bu shouted, good guy, this is his grandma's black whistle!
Thinking with the big toe, everyone knows that it was Stern's handwriting. In order to make Dazhi's first show a success, so as to increase the NBA's popularity in China, he really didn't want any face.

There was only one thought in Kong Bu's mind, whether Stern was good or bad, I really liked it.

He began to sympathize with Batty. He was a rookie with poor strength, but he was ganked by Stern again tonight, and his young heart was devastated.

With the three criminals in hand, Batty's defensive strength, which was not very high, has dropped to another level.

Halfway through the first quarter, Da Zhi scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, made 4 of 4 free throws, and 3 of 2 mid-range shots. Because being fouled free throws does not count as the number of shots, it means that Da Zhi only took 3 shots. 8 points are credited.

Kongbu heaved a sigh of relief. After Stern made a move, the difficulty of the task was directly reduced by more than one level.

The main reason is that free throws are not counted in the number of shots taken. If there is no whistle protection, Da Zhi is now shooting 5 of 2, just 55%, which is far from the [-]% required by the mission.

Big Ben was exhausted enough, and Kumbu took advantage of the timeout to replace him.

Dazhi still stayed on the field, and Kong Bu told him again that he must not shoot randomly and must keep his hit rate.

It was about Da Zhi's future, and Kong Bu dared not be careless.

The reason why he is still on the field is that Kong Bu wants to complete the task goal of the third 10 minutes of his appearance.

Nine minutes into the first quarter, Dazhi was replaced by Kumbu. In the next three minutes, he didn't make a shot and only got one rebound.

In 3 minutes, Da Zhi exposed a rather fatal problem.

That is the lack of defensive ability.

Batty had enough water, but he almost got what he wanted on Dazhi's head. Daben was not present, and Batty scored six points in a row.

Kumbu didn't care too much. Anyway, the system didn't require the opponent not to score points. Batty's six points didn't affect the result of the game.
