Chapter 46 The first step to conquer Jimmy Butler (two in one)
"This kid's playing style is a bit like mine."
When Zheng Long broke through Wade and took off and completed an air hand change layup.
Jordan finally began to notice the Lakers' No. 23 rookie.
News about Zheng Long has indeed been flying in the league circle recently, and the NBA fan circle has also been going crazy.
But it does not mean that Jordan will know Zheng Long's existence. Have you heard of it? He has indeed heard of it. Even some news has even shown the title name of "Jordan Huang".
But Jordan won't pay special attention to a player because of these.
After Jordan, the league has always wanted to create the next Jordan, and the "Jordan successor" is flying all over the sky.
Anfenny Hardaway
Grant Hill
Deshoen Stevenson
Kobe Bryant
Derek Ross
It seemed like something strange was mixed in.
Being hailed as Jordan's successor certainly proves that these players' outstanding abilities have been recognized by some players.
Most of them have indeed gained a foothold in the NBA and played their own style.
But it's just their own style.
No one succeeded in becoming the next Jordan!
Only one person has achieved closeness to Jordan, that is Kobe Bryant, but it is just close.
On the court, the first quarter was just half over.
Bulls 14:13 Lakers.
The score between the two teams was very dead. Wade was successfully restricted by Zheng Long. He forced his move in anger and failed to welcome the favor of the goddess of luck.
But Butler scored 8 of the Bulls' 14 points today, and Ingram was like a toy in front of Butler.
Defensive consciousness cannot be facilitated in a short period of time.
Even though Zheng Long had already taught without reservation, Ingram still failed to grow as Zheng Long wanted.
Sometimes Zheng Long would consider whether he should give up.
Otherwise, Walton could trade this kid too. Of course, this is just thinking about it.
Even if Walton didn't say that, Zheng Long knew that Ingram was definitely placed in the untrade bar by the Lakers. Compared with Russell, Ingram in the rookie season has done well enough.
So far in the new season, Ingram has averaged 10.9 points, 2 assists, 5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game, with his shooting percentage remaining above 45%.
You know, this is when Zheng Long occupied a large number of attacks in the team.
"Come on your spirits! Prevent him from breaking through! Swipe your long arms!"
Since he couldn't give up, he had to continue charging. Zheng Long slapped Ingram's butt and cheered him up.
"Do you let him shoot?"
"Just relax and shoot mainly for interference, so that he can know how powerful it is to be inch long and short."
Zheng Long said confidently.
Butler's offensive ability has indeed been developed, but three-pointers are still not his strength, and it can even be said to be his weakness.
It can be seen from his average shooting average in his career that he has less than 3 on average.
The reason why Butler grew up quickly is that he is not strong enough to play with his strengths and avoids his weaknesses. He is 2 meters tall and has an arm span of only 2 meters. At the wing position, he can definitely be called a "broken arm monster."
Although it is not as good as Griffin's "Tyrannosaurus Rex".
But this also means that Butler's shooting, in the NBA, where there are many monsters, has to endure more interference than ordinary people.
The short breathing time left Wade's emotions even more unleashed.
He sat in the player's seat with a sinister face, and head coach Hoyberg turned a deaf ear to his ears.
I don’t have to listen to it, and I must have tried to reduce my actions when facing Zheng Long.
Seeing Wade like this, Hoyberg had no choice but to pray in his heart. Wade turned around and realized the painful reality gap.
No head coach can order a "big brand" star, and even many head coaches rely on licking the star to get on the position.
Having the support of the stars in the team is even more useful than betraying your butt to please the general manager.
For example, the relationship between Coach Lu and James.
The game continued to begin, and after the Bulls' ball was in place, Wade raised his hand to ask for the ball at the top of the arc, but Butler obviously didn't hear it. Perhaps, he deliberately pretended not to hear it.
In short, when Butler faced Ingram and wanted to enter another one, Zheng Long used his eyes to pay attention to the little brother.
Fortunately, Ingram was very advised. He let go of a step to prevent Butler from breaking through, leaving Butler room for three-pointers.
"Try to vote! Try to vote!"
For the first time, this kid not only listened to advice, but also gave Zheng Long a surprise, but actually provoked his opponent.
Butler took action decisively.
Ingram jumped and disturbed at the same time, proving that his long arm was not a silver gun candle head, but was also used for top use.
He successfully made Butler shoot a three-no shot, and Nans protected the defensive rebound.
Seeing Butler forcibly taking action, Wade was really angry and cursed "Farke".
He even slowed down as the Lakers pushed for a counterattack.
Zheng Long didn't care about him, leading the Lakers to four-on-five fast break in the frontcourt. Because Wade was away, Rondo was forced to come to make up for defense of Zheng Long.
Zheng Long generously gave the basketball to Russell in the open space, and Russell was still a little surprised after receiving the ball.
My grass, Zheng Long actually passed the ball to me?!
It was astonished as Nick Young passed the ball to Kobe.
The surprise made Russell hesitate for a moment and lost the best chance to use his mobile phone. The Bulls player had already made up for defense, and Russell took action in a hurry.
It's iron!
When the basketball fell into Lopez's hands.
Russell has not realized the seriousness of the problem yet, and this will be the last pass from Zheng Long that he has received in his life.
No goal was generated in this offensive round of the two sides.
But it also made both of the "bosses" of both sides feel dissatisfied.
Zheng Long did not expect Wade to be so angry. Obviously, he underestimated that the Bulls still had problems with the locker room.
In 2019, Butler interacted under the sexy photos of Wade's wife.
This quickly aroused Wade's dissatisfaction and left a message on Butler's social media to fight back - "If you want to harass my wife again, I will give you a good look, kid."
It seems that the relationship between the two is indeed not as perfect as Butler said later.
At least now, the Bulls' locker room problem exists.
The game continues.
The last offensive round in the first quarter.
Wade finally got the ball. Zheng Long knew that Wade would not send the ball out again, so he just wanted to call his teammates to get the ball around.
"Listen to the boy, there is no match on the court to despise me."
"Oh, right? What about Kobe."
"."
"Where is Jordan?"
"Shut up!"
"Sorry, I'm Jordan."
"Don't let you go!"
Zheng Long was helpless.
Why don't you believe it?
He made a decisive move to complete the dribble interference, and the basketball rolled out like a kite with a broken string.
Then, the two rushed towards the basketball at the same time, competing for the ball rights, and Wade held the basketball tightly in his arms.
To be continued...
