Chapter 202 High School Player

Since the Lakers started, Payton has scored 4 points by himself, and his constant provocation has made Schultz, who is sitting on the court, feel very uncomfortable.

But he is not the head coach and it is even more impossible to play the game, so he can only sit in his own position and frown, waiting for his own players on the court to make a tough counterattack.

Payton's defense this round is even more active.

Daniels almost lost the ball several times after he made great moves and extremely aggressive defensive presses.

Chen Cheng has been paying attention to the situation on their side. Just when Daniels wanted to use his back opportunity to break through Payton's defense, Chen Cheng suddenly rushed over from Daniels' blind spot in sight and formed a siege with Payton at the bottom corner of the midfield.

Lewis, who was closest to him, quickly stepped forward to respond. As soon as the ball in Daniels's hand was exposed, it was cut off by Chen Cheng and snatched it into his hand.

"Old guy, run!" As he said that, Chen Cheng threw the ball directly into the supersonic half.

Payton understood and immediately accelerated to chase the ball. Daniels made a mistake and hurriedly got up on the spot and chased after him.

The old players' game experience played an important role at this moment.

After receiving the ball, he did not rush to attack the box because Daniels was behind him. Whether it was speed or bounce, Daniels was above him.

If you take action rashly, you will most likely be blocked or fouled.

So, after receiving the ball, he did not directly attack the box, but suddenly slowed down while transporting it. Daniels was eager to chase the ball, and his feet lost control and directly hit Payton's body.

Payton played with the relay force, took advantage of his inertia and then jumped, made a layup in the air with a low hand, shouting "and     one!", and then a low hand picked up the basket.

The whistle sounded and the ball entered.

21 beat it!

Payton stood at the basket and raised his hands to greet the cheers from the audience.

Most of the fans at Key Stadium did not sting with their applause, but some fans have already started booing.

I don't know if it's for Payton or for home players.

"I found that we were getting more and more tacit understanding, rookie." Payton grinned and smiled, standing in front of the free throw line and said to Chen Cheng beside him.

"Don't be too happy too early. I will let your rookies know how powerful I am. Just like I dunk you during training back then." Lewis, who was stuck at the basket and Chen Cheng, responded.

"You? You can try it." Payton nodded with his lips and smiled meaningfully at Chen Cheng, and made a steadily penalty.

The score on the court was 4:7, and the Supersonics, who played at home, were 3 points behind. Daniels learned the previous lesson. He did not stick to the ball. Ray Allen stepped forward to respond and quickly passed the ball through half.

Lewis took the ball from Allen and stood in the left waist position, and Chen Cheng immediately defended.

The same high school student came from, the difference is that Lewis was selected for the "National American First Team" in high school, and can contribute 2812 per game.

The three-point shooting percentage was as high as 47%. Such a player with strong attack power fell from the earliest predicted lottery zone to the second round at the 1999 draft, and finally was selected by the Seattle Supersonics at the 32nd pick.

The huge psychological gap and the impact of his back injury made him not get much playing time in the rookie season.

During this period, he was late for a training match and was criticized by Payton to autism on the spot.

Fortunately, he overcame the psychological shadow in time and improved his strength through unremitting efforts. Then, in the training match, he responded with a dunk passing through Payton.

From then on, the team looked at this rookie high school player with admiration.

Now, Lewis has become one of the important cores of the team. In the opening game of this season, he faced the perfect data of 50 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 0 turnovers against the Los Angeles Clippers, becoming the fourth player in the history of the Supersonics to create 50 points.

This season, Ray Allen and Lewis' interlude with running and receiving balls has become the most deadly weapon of the Supersonics.

It once gave the opponent a headache.

Especially Lewis, he is close to 210, runs actively, has a delicate touch and is extremely fast to take action.

The three-and-four style of playing makes the opponents in the league very uncomfortable.

Ordinary No. 3 position to prevent him is basically misplaced. As long as he catches the ball, he will take action directly, and there is no need to worry about being covered.

If he defends the number four position, his flexible steps and active running can often create a lot of open shooting opportunities for himself.

Unfortunately, he met Chen Cheng today.

In his opinion, the little guy less than two meters in front of him could not threaten his attack at all, not to mention that he was still a defensive position that lowered the center of gravity to prevent himself from breaking through.

Therefore, facing Chen Cheng's defense, Lewis did not make too many moves, but instead directly stepped up.

With a confident move, the ball just passed through his fingertips and heard a "bang".

A ruthless long arm appeared in front of him, slamming Lewis' shot directly out of the sideline.

Lewis himself was still stunned and did not react next.

His attack speed is already very fast, and he is also supported by his height and arm span. How could a yellow man less than two meters tall have such strong bounce and explosive power?

But the cover just now was very clean and neat, without any unnecessary physical contact, and there was no way to speak up if you wanted to complain to the referee.

Payton came up again, put on Chen Cheng's shoulder, and looked completely "spoken" and opened his mouth towards Lewis' trash talk.

"rash, how do you feel? Without brother training for you, isn't this defensive intensity a little uncomfortable?"

Lewis put his hands on his hips and shook his head and smiled.

"It's just a cover, luck, gp."

"Yes, you can continue to enjoy the exclusive Chinese meal, which will ensure that you can eat too much and vomit." Payton replied.

Chen Cheng watched him and Lewis criticize each other, and he became an outsider.

I covered him up, but I finally let you pretend?

"Gary, can you let me say a few words?" Chen Cheng pretended to complain with a bitter face.

Payton waved his hand: "Your trash talk is not enough. I will teach you 1-on-1 when I have time. They are part of my defensive content."

The Supersonics serve outside the world, Chen Cheng closely sticks to Lewis' defense, leaving him no room for catching the ball.

Kobe also stared at Ray Allen's marching and stretched out his hands to interfere. There were constant physical friction between the two.

Seeing that the five seconds were about to run out, Lewis began to suddenly accelerate and move towards the sideline, and then suddenly pushed Chen Cheng's defense away.

It pushed Chen Cheng into a staggering position and also gained great space for him.

The whole action happened in front of the referee, but the referee turned a blind eye and did not sound a whistle.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he received the ball and completed a jump shot and made a long-range three-pointer.

"GP, you should teach him how to defend more, rather than just teach him to squirt about trash."
