Chapter 100 David West

"Channing's defensive skill is of course very good, but his passing skills are still lacking a lot."

Big Mouth Barkley never forgets to find fault:

"If it had been Dark Chocolate Chris Webber, or Turkey Machete Turkoglu that had just made the tackle, I'm sure they'd have a powerful swipe that went right through everyone's heads on the court and put the ball right on it. Passed to Andre Iguodala at the opposite basket. What a pity, what a pity! A chance to make a top-five shot wasted!"

"Come on Charles, money is just a rookie, you can't ask too much."

Channing also agrees with Barkley's opinion that he lacks too many skills on the offensive end, and urgently needs to fill them in one by one. But right now, we still have to forget about this unfortunate cooperation and focus on the game.

The old Miller touched his head, signaling to play a positional pick-and-roll, and Iguodala also winked at Channing, saying that although he sprinted for nothing, it was nothing, so don't take it to heart.

The 76ers continued to attack. The old Miller used Channing's cover to bypass Paul, and after attracting the opponent's defense, he scored the ball. Iguodala made a three-pointer and made a hit!

"Beautiful, Andre, you're on full fire tonight! The opponent can't defend you at all." Chan Ning hurried to flatter him.

"Hahaha, Qian, your defense is also invincible, and no one on the other side can face you and score goals." Iguodala also patted back, expressing politeness.

The jokes of the two made the Hornets boss Chris Paul very angry, and it was time to take the shot.

Paul advanced through the frontcourt, gave the ball directly to David West, and then took the lead to pull away.

That's right, Paul decided to single David West.

This is Chris Paul, who always has a calm mind and insight into the situation on the field. Paul accurately perceives that due to the existence of Channing and Iguodala, Philadelphia's perimeter defense is hell-level, whether it is Peja or Paul. If I want to score, I have to lose at least one layer of skin, but the inside line is seven inches from Philadelphia.

Whether it's Reggie Evans, who is undersized, or Dalembert, who is generally defensive, the inside line is Philadelphia's natural shortcoming, so Paul is very smart and directly gives the ball to David West, signaling his teammates to play singles .

David West quickly understood Paul's intentions. After his teammates opened up the space, David West faltered and quickly found the space, facing Reggie Evans and hitting a shot.

Looking back, Philadelphia's offense was still very smooth. After the pick-and-roll, Iguodala broke through with the ball, attracting everyone's attention, and then threw the ball into the sky. Channing took off high and succeeded in a relay dunk!
"Excellent alley-oop cooperation! This is also the second tacit cooperation between Channing and Iguodala in this game. It seems that the two have already created enough sparks!"

The Hornets repeated their tricks, David West flew Reggie Evans, and succeeded in a breakthrough layup.

In the next few minutes, the two sides fell into a confrontational battle. David West displayed his All-Star offensive strength and frequently ravaged Philadelphia's inside line. They fought back, but the point difference continued to narrow. In the second half of the first quarter, Philadelphia's lead was only 1 point.

"We are at a disadvantage in the offensive game, and the offensive end is still weak."

Coach Cheeks thought to himself, there are two All-Star offensive points on the opposite side, Chris Paul and David West, and only one Iguodala can be called an All-Star offensive point in Philadelphia. They are not stable enough, piecemeal play is definitely not as good as the opponent in terms of scoring.

The substitute lineups of both sides officially debuted. Peja on the Hornets took a rest. Under Channing's marking, Peja played for seven or eight minutes without contributing. Paul and David West were still on the court, playing with three substitutes. For the Philadelphia 8ers, Coach Cheeks replaced Iguodala and sent Louis Williams as an attack point, plus Miller, Korver, Dalembert and Channing, also two The main force takes three substitute players.

Channing returned to his old position, power forward. In fact, Cheeks wanted to let Channing rest for three or two minutes, but no one was available inside. Channing top.

"It's really not easy for Qian Ning. After defending the outside line after defending the small front line, he needs to make up the inside line after defending the outside line. Qian Ning is really needed everywhere." Even Ke Fan complained to Qian Ning.

Qian Ning is not dissatisfied with this. As long as his physical strength allows, he would like to stay on the court all the time, playing for 48 minutes, and sitting on the bench for 48 minutes. In contrast, Qian Ning would rather play for more than 10 minutes every game. , and he is still young and has plenty of physical strength. It is no problem to play for four or 10 minutes.

More importantly, the longer the playing time, the more conducive it is to complete the task. In the first half of the first quarter, point guard Chris Paul, who Channing had successfully defended, made a shot and made a steal against small forward Peja's breakthrough with the ball. Piggybacking blocked Hornets shooting guard Maurice Peterson's jumper, leaving the defense at the fourth and fifth positions inside, it is just right for Channing to return to the fourth position at this moment.

The game continued, David West was still catching the ball and wanted to single out, leaning back, David West felt that something was wrong, the body behind him was obviously stronger, and he could not take advantage of the strength, so he turned to the face frame to do it. The opponent was not fooled by the two fake moves. David West frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple.

Take a closer look, Channing!

"I'll go, no wonder it can't be moved! Why did he go back to the fourth position?"

David West shuddered all over, feeling that the basketball was hot in an instant, and immediately threw the ball back into Paul's hands.

"Don't mind, baby, come and hit me! Kang busy Beibi!"

No matter how provocative Channing's words were, David West always smiled and shook his head. This guy is too smart. Seeing that Channing is strong in defense, he is unwilling to fight hard.

In fact, David West has the strength of an All-Star power forward. In terms of offensive ability, he may not be much different from Chris Bosh. The big reason for entering the level of a superstar is because of his character, that is, his style of play on the basketball court.

Some people play fiercely, and they just do it if they refuse to accept it. Some people play rigorously and smartly, and know how to make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses. David West's style of play is cunning, bullying the weak and fearing the hard. When he meets Reggie Evans, he will Bullying to death, seeing Qian Ning coming, he was unwilling to make a move no matter what.

This kind of style of play means that if you are a mid-level team, you can't make much waves. Only a character like Channing who is not stingy, whether it is crushing Bosh, being crushed by Duncan, or playing with James. Back and forth, Channing is always attacking with all his strength, trying to go further.
