Chapter 51 Against the Red Mamba
The Spurs and the 76ers' bench lineup were inseparable. Reed's quick breakthrough tore apart the old Spurs' perimeter defense. Without Duncan's protection, Dalembert also began to score frequently in the penalty area. Ginobili One person struggled to support, but after Duncan came back in the second quarter, he beat the 76ers again.

With 4 minutes left in the third quarter of the game, the two teams sent out substitute lineups again. Channing finally heard Cheeks' call, took off his coat and was ready to go on the field. At this time, the Spurs held an 8-point advantage.

"It's a very commemorative moment. Channing finally ushered in his first appearance in the NBA." Tencent sports commentator Ke Fan finally cheered up. The previous game was not interesting, and he almost fell asleep watching it. .

"Yes, Chen Ning became the fifth Chinese player to appear on the NBA regular season stage after Dayao, Daba, Daqi and Alian. Although he appeared a bit late, he can be seen on the NBA field. I believe It is definitely worth it for the fans." Su Qun also became excited, and more and more Chinese players are beginning to play in the world's highest level basketball league, which is something that every sportsman is excited about.

"It's just that the playing time is a bit strange. There was no one minute at all in the first half, but the normal rotation lineup was entered in the second half. It's a bit strange." This is the first time Ke Fan has seen such a situation.

Su Qun gave his opinion: "It is indeed rare, but maybe Coach Cheeks has his own considerations, such as letting all the bench players play in the first game, whose performance can be passed by the coach. It is possible to officially enter the rotation in the later games of this season."

"It makes sense. Smith was inspected in the first half. It seems that Channing will be tested in the second half. I hope Channing can perform well."

This was the first time the fans at the scene saw Channing play. Although the Philadelphia fans knew that this year the team had selected a rookie from far away China, they knew nothing about his ability and style of play. A small group of scattered Chinese fans cheered for Channing.

Be sure to perform well!

Qian Ning clapped his hands vigorously to encourage himself.

The Spurs attack, Ginobili is the engine of the bench lineup, he holds the ball at the top of the arc, directing his teammates to run, Channing is close to Matt Bonner, and after a fake pick-and-roll, Manu gets the ball Passed to Bonner, and at the same time signaled his teammates to pull away, giving Bonner plenty of room.

This is the most commonly used set of offensive tactics by the Spurs. The starting lineup and the substitutes all play like this. In the starting lineup, Duncan is now receiving the ball. Duncan can make mid-range shots with the ball, can break through, and can also find teammates to pass the ball. Substitute lineup It was Bonner who replaced Duncan here.

Matt Bonner is a player Channing was very familiar with in his previous life. He is nicknamed Red Mamba. He is 2.08 meters tall. He is a standard power forward with average speed and strength, but he has the ball-handling skills of a guard and doesn't like confrontation , Lack of strong inside ability, the main scoring method is three-pointers.

Strength does not suffer, and speed has an advantage. Channing is very confident in defending Bonner. Such a weak opponent is just used to express himself.

Bonner holds the ball on the wing. He has the power to decide the offense at this time. Pass?projection?breakthrough?The defender in front of him is a rookie, such a weak opponent must seize the opportunity to score.

"Come on Red Mamba, teach that rookie a good lesson!" Bowen booed on the bench.

Bonner knew very well that persimmons should be picked softly, so he feinted and shot the ball from the left to the basket.

Both saw the other as a stepping stone in their performance, but Bonner hadn't taken the first step until he realized he was wrong.

The rookie moved at least twice as fast as himself. Bonner had only landed on his left foot, and before he lifted his right foot, Channing had already moved to a suitable position, blocking Bonner's path.

"Such a fast lateral movement speed, it's hard to imagine that this is a 2.07 big man!" The fans were shocked when they saw Channing play for the first time.

"This speed is much faster than during the summer league. It seems that after going through the NBA's systematic training, Channing has obviously become stronger!" Su Qun said.

"That's right, compared to Channing, Bonner is like a 60-year-old grandma." Ke Fan also joked.

With Channing occupying the position in advance, Bonner could only be forced to slow down, and if he rushed down, he would definitely be called offensive by the referee.

Just as Bonner slowed down and adjusted his pace, Channing's flashing right hand startled Bonner again.

"Steal? Channing wanted to grab Bonner's basketball directly. Although Bonner dribbled the ball behind his back and avoided it, Channing's steal attempt was very good. It just caught the opponent's window period when he changed his offensive strategy. , showed excellent defensive sense."

A steal was unsuccessful, Channing quickly got close to Bonner, and pressed and interfered with Bonner. His speed crushed Bonner, so he didn't have to worry about being pushed too hard and being passed by Bonner in one step, and he could increase his strength without any worries.

Bonner was in a hurry, and Channing's wingspan was too long, which posed a huge threat to him. If it weren't for the foundation of guard dribbling that he had built since childhood, the basketball would have been cut off by Channing long ago.

In a panic, Bonner used his body to protect the ball, trying to hit Channing with his back.

"Want to eat me with your back? Okay, then I will show you some confrontation!"

Not afraid at all, Qian Ning puffed up her chest and pushed forward.

His strength is still weak at the power forward position, but it depends on who the opponent is. To deal with a big white soft Bonner, Channing's strength is more than enough.

Push it, push it again, and Channing doesn't budge, and Bonner goes crazy.

This rookie should not be underestimated, he looks tall and thin, but his speed and strength are not inferior to him!

It was almost three seconds into the attack, and Bonner couldn't find any space to shoot, so he could only lean back and shoot randomly. In order to avoid Channing's arm, Bonner's old waist was about to break.

This angle is not very good for blocking shots. Channing resolutely gave up the idea of ​​making the first block on Bonner, and turned around to get stuck in the position.

Sure enough, it was a strike. Channing grabbed the rebound before Oberto and handed it to Lu Wei.

"Good job!" Lu Wei cheered for his teammates loudly.

Cheeks also applauded Channing's solid defense and gave Evans a meaningful look.

Evans suddenly shivered: "Hmph, it's just that he guarded Bonner, what's the big deal, it was Duncan who beat me up!"

Unexpectedly, his teammates would suffer. Bowen shut his mouth and stopped talking. Popovich was a little dissatisfied with Bonner's offensive choices. He felt that Bonner was too sticky to the ball, but it was just a ball. Popovich didn't Say something to Bonner.

The first defense was successful, and he also received a rebound. Channing's performance attracted the attention of the fans.
