"Dammit!" When he saw the situation on the court and the way the substitutes of the Los Angeles team were beaten, D'Antoni couldn't help but curse.
At this time, he really reflected on himself because Chen Sha had been right about the changes on the pitch.
The feeling of the players was cold, and they didn't get any shots. Their defense didn't limit the Cavaliers 'shots well, which made the Cavaliers more confident.
Kyrie Owen, as the core of the team, was still playing beyond his level on the pitch.
In the face of Kyrie Owen's breakthrough, the Los Angeles defense was completely torn apart.
Chen Sha sat on the substitutes 'bench with a water dispenser in his arms. He looked extremely calm.
"Dwight!" D'Antoni couldn't stand it anymore and called Dwight Howard up.
Howard had the best hand feel on today's team. It was hard to say if Chen Sha's hand feel was good. He only scored a three-pointer in the first quarter.
Howard came on and stirred up the storm in the paint, but Howard could not produce the effect that D'Antoni wanted.
The defense was very intimidating. Owen broke through, but he still had to pay attention to Howard's joint defense and defense. He had to be careful if he wanted to make a layup.
However, D'Antoni had used Howard as a defender, but he had not been able to develop his offensive abilities.
As long as the head coach wasn't stupid, he would know that the main player was Howard. This way, the Cavaliers would suffer.
"What do you think now?" Kobe sat beside Chen Sha.
"What a waste!" Chen Sha shook his head and answered Kobe in a low voice.
"Tell me?" Kobe was not in a hurry. He wanted to hear what Chen Sha had to say about the current situation on the court
."The Cavaliers 'inside line. Maris Spades is a center who can shoot from mid-range. His footsteps are agile, and he has explosive power near the basket. His shooting feel is good, and his footwork is also good.”
"It's just that if a player like him runs into Howard inside, he'll be completely crushed. Howard's physical fitness is there, although he can only block and play under the basket, and his hook is also unstable.”
"But even so, as long as he plays inside, Speights won't be able to defend against him.”
"As for Thompson, he's still a rookie. He can't compare to the current Dwight in all aspects, so there's no need to worry.”
"Now, Dwight is playing inside. He's only playing defense, but he's neglecting his dominance under the basket. I could have let Howard play inside the Cavaliers and make them doubt their lives, but it's all a waste." Chen Sha shook his head. He definitely would not do that.
"Don't forget that during the Orlando Magic's time, Dwight was the main player in the paint. When the opponent was double-teaming, he would pass the ball to the outside and give his teammates a three-pointer. If he hit the ball, it would be a three-pointer. Even if he missed the shot, he would be there to grab the rebound.”
"He can attract defense for his teammates and let them shoot better.”
"If the opponent doesn't double team, then he can do whatever he wants under the basket.”
"Now, defense is effective, but it's a waste of another of his strengths.”In fact, D'Antoni had heard everything Chen Sha said.
To be honest, he knew that he did not get along well with a player like Howard.
It wasn't that they didn't get along, but that when
Chen Sha was around, Howard played very well and was very efficient.
However, when Chen Sha and Howard were not present at the same time, Chen Sha was still Chen Sha. His efficiency was still as high, but Howard could not use his advantage.
Why? De Antoni himself also knew about the Tsuran-Generals.
It was because Chen Sha had a very high IQ and a very good eye. He could often see through the opponent's tactics.
Even if Kobe wanted the ball, Chen Sha could ignore him and pass the ball to his teammate who was in the best position and could score the most easily.
There were very few players who could defeat Howard in the paint. Even if there were, Howard could make things difficult for the other side. Therefore, when Chen Sha was on the court, Kobe and Howard had a good chance at the same time. He would naturally choose the paint first. As long as
Howard played confidently, he would destroy whoever he saw.
Moreover, Howard would not lose a single one. He was very stubborn and persistent in getting one back.
Kobe was different. If he missed a shot, he had to keep shooting until it was accurate.
If it were anyone else, they would have let Kobe do whatever he wanted, but Chen Sha would not let Kobe do whatever he wanted.
"Chen!" D'Antoni turned around and looked at Chen Sha.
"It's fine if Kobe and I don't play. We just need to replace Ci Shiping with Jamison and let Meeks be the shooting guard. Dwight played inside and was sandwiched to pass the ball to the outside.”
"If it's the inside lane, let Dwight pass it to Gasol. Gasol's touch isn't that great, but the Cavaliers don't dare to let him shoot too recklessly.”D'Antoni was surprised by Chen Sha's suggestion.
However, he tried to listen to Chen Sha. D'Antoni made some arrangements.
Although the first two rounds weren't ideal, in the third round, the Laker's offense slowly improved. It could even be said that it made the Cavaliers suffer.
This was a simple three-pronged attack, but it caused the knights to collapse.
The main attacker was Howard. The second attack was Howard attracting the defense and passing the ball to the outside to shoot three points. The third attack point was Gasol, who had been emptied. The
three shots could make the Cavaliers feel very uncomfortable.
Kobe looked at Chen Sha with even more shock. This guy actually knew his teammate's abilities and strengths so well.
At the end of the half, the team was 62 - 44, leading the Cavaliers by 18 points.
After the first half of the match ended, the reporters from the Heavenly Dynasty found Chen Sha.
"Hello, Chen Sha. We are the media from China. Can we disturb you for a few minutes and ask you a few questions?”The reporter stopped Chen Sha.
"Sure! This is the first time I've been interviewed by the domestic media since I entered the NBA!”Chen Sha accepted it with a smile.
"Do you know how popular you are in the country now?”
"I know! Hehe, after all, these days, my roommates in university have been sending me WeChat messages every day, bragging about how awesome I am now, how I entered the NBA, how awesome my brother is, and so on.”Chen Sha's interview was broadcasted live.
"Hahaha ~" The fans watching the live broadcast felt very cordial when they heard Chen Sha speak in Chinese.
"Then do you know how incredible it is for you to enter the NBA? According to what I know, you haven't even participated in an official game before. Why did you suddenly join the NBA?”
"That's true. I was helpless. I was just running and working out to make myself taller, but I didn't expect to meet Kobe. He invited me to the Laker's training center to shoot. After the three of us beat him, we asked for a bullfight. Although we lost, he shamelessly signed me on a ten-day contract.”When Chen Sha mentioned this, the reporters could not hold it in anymore.
