Chapter 132: A Surprising Move
But the Panthers have their trump card, which is interior defense.
Zhao Qiang went to the penalty area and saw center Ryan Miner coming over.
This is the ace player of the Panthers. Zhao Qiang really wants to fight with him.
But the risk of doing so was very high, so Zhao Qiang still chose a reasonable play style, hitting the ground and passing the ball to Ben on the right side of the basket.
Big Ben gets the big pie and dunks easily!
Ryan Miner felt a little like he was being teased, and he was annoyed, so he scolded Zhao Qiang.
"How cowardly! Why do you still want to be the captain?"
Zhao Qiang originally wanted to turn around and go back to defense, but when he heard Ryan Miner's words, he became angry.
He turned around and retorted with a sneer: "A rookie like you, do you still need me to take action personally?"
Ryan Miner has always been proud. In the 1990s, big men were still very popular.
Although Jordan and some guards have also made a name for themselves in the league, big men still have the main advantage in the draft market every year.
"I'm a newbie? Okay, I'll show you how I can deal with you!"
Miner started to get angry.
Zhao Qiang is not afraid of the other party being cruel. As long as they are provoked, they will definitely make mistakes!
2:2 tie, Panthers attack.
Miner ran to the penalty area in advance, got stuck, and reached for the ball.
He wanted Zhao Qiang to see how he brutally tortured Da Ben.
Ben was very nervous. He knew it was difficult to defend Miner, but he had to go all out, even if he was beaten badly by the opponent.
After catching the ball, Miner slid quickly with his feet, making fake moves all over his body, spinning Ben around.
Miner was so proud that he took advantage of Ben's opening and jumped up, hoping for an easy layup.
Unexpectedly, the moment he collected the ball, a big hand stretched out like lightning.
Snap!
The basketball was actually knocked out.
You know, big centers attach great importance to protecting the ball, and they are very strong. Even if the defender has quick hands and can touch the ball, he may not be able to intercept it.
But the strength of Zhao Qiang's hand was not inferior to Miner's, and the angle was very tricky. Miner felt that as soon as his hand was empty, the ball would be gone.
Miner was shocked. He lowered his head and saw Zhao Qiang appearing behind him.
"You brat, you..."
He also wanted to counterattack, but Zhao Qiang moved the ball directly to Jerome on the right.
Jerome launched a fast break and passed it to Druid near the center line.
Xiao De's speed is also much faster than in previous months.
Although he is not as fast as Zhao Qiang, the training plan Zhao Qiang made for him is very effective.
Especially at the moment of startup, it is even more explosive.
The Panthers' point guard Sean started almost at the same time as Djokovic, but in less than two seconds, he was thrown away by more than 1 meter by Djokovic!
You know, the tradition of the Panthers is to be fast, which is also the origin of the name of the Panthers!
Even though the core of their tactics is center Miner, the speed of players in other positions is average to above average in the NCAA.
But Xiaode still left him behind!
The home fans of the Cavalry were jumping up and down with excitement. Their heroes really got better and better as they played, and the game became more and more enjoyable to watch!
Druid got to the basket, easily picked up the basket and scored two points!
After scoring the goal, he raised his right hand handsomely, high-fived his teammates one by one, and finally bumped into chests with Zhao Qiang and roared!
The atmosphere at home reached a small climax.
The celebrities also smiled, nodded, clapped, and cheered for the cavalry's fast attack.
Ryan Miner's face was livid with anger. He had just scolded Zhao Qiang, but Zhao Qiang intercepted the ball. He couldn't save his face.
Zhao Qiang was also quite irritating, and he didn't miss this good opportunity to troll people.
When he ran past Miner, he deliberately mocked: "Oh, he's such a big guy. He can't even protect a ball. Why do you still want to play in the NBA?"
Miner was actually quite stupid. He hesitated and didn't think of any harmful trash talk, so he could only sulk on his own.
Bird and Smiling Assassin Thomas were very interested in Zhao Qiang, and they kept their eyes on Zhao Qiang.
"Thomas, who do you think is faster between Zhao Qiang and you?"
"Of course I am fast, but when I was in college, I was not as fast as him. If he can enter the draft market, some teams will take a fancy to him, right?"
"I don't think so. Although he is fast, he seems to have few offensive methods, but his shooting is not bad."
"Big Bird, good shooting is an advantage. Didn't you also have a top-notch shooting back then, so the Celtics drafted you?"
"I was different back then than I am now. Good shooting is just a bonus. My rebounding and passing abilities are also top-notch!"
"Let's take a look again. I heard that Zhao Qiang's passing ability is also pretty good."
…
Big O heard the conversation between the two and interrupted: "Have you forgotten that basketball is improving? Zhao Qiang's style of play may promote the development of basketball."
Bird and Thomas disagreed, laughing and shaking their heads.
…
The game lasted for more than 7 minutes, and the Cavaliers already led by 6 points.
Panthers head coach Frank had to call a timeout.
Coach Anzo was very satisfied with the Cavalry players. He high-fived the players and applauded them.
At the same time, he urged the players to maintain their defensive intensity and not to slack off.
Ryan Miner was a little over the top, which was the main reason the Panthers fell behind.
If Miner regains his composure after the timeout, the game will still not be easy to play.
Moreover, the Cavalry team has a hidden danger. Ben has already committed a foul.
This is a huge challenge that Ben faces. This Miner has more comprehensive skills than the previous Marcus Camby. Although Ben is not weak in strength, he always feels like he is unable to use his strength.
Zhao Qiang was sitting next to Ben. Seeing that Ben was a little depressed, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry about it. Miner's skills are definitely not good for single defense, and he is taller than you. We can do it."
If you double-team him properly, he'll be finished!"
Daben nodded gratefully.
If Zhao Qiang hadn't frequently assisted in defense and helped Da Ben, Da Ben would have been defeated.
Being beaten in front of so many famous players will affect Ben's draft ranking.
For Ben, who only wants to make money to support his family, entering the NBA is a big deal!
The timeout ended and the game continued without any substitutions from either side.
Sure enough, coach Frank still had something. He persuaded Miner not to play alone, but to increase teamwork.
When the Panthers attacked, Miner did not continue to ask for the ball. Instead, he helped his teammates cover and did a blue-collar job.
Zhao Qiang muttered in his heart, this is not possible!
If Miner calms down, the game will be difficult to play.
The Panthers played very reasonably in this round. Small forward Antoine succeeded in a jump shot from the edge of the paint area and scored 2 points.
His goal was attributed to Miner. Miner helped him cover, so Antoine could take the shot easily.
Unexpectedly, after Antoine scored, he turned around and walked away without even looking at Miner.
Chapter completed!
