Chapter 5 Counterpoint Wells
Under Andrew's leadership, everyone left the home team's locker room and stood on the floor in the center of Pepsi Center in Denver.
As soon as possible, Chishang began to look at the arena.
Perhaps the Nuggets' record is too poor, or the summer league has limited attractiveness, there are few fans who have seen this game, and they are sparsely distributed in the huge stadium.
It would be fine if there were few fans, but they were all very "quiet". After the Nuggets appeared, there was not much cheer.
Home fans are the most important part of the atmosphere in the stadium, but the Nuggets' record last season was too poor and they almost nailed to the pillar of shame. In addition, there are no stars in the team, so fans are too lazy to cheer.
The fans are not enthusiastic, Ikegami can understand that what he is most worried about is being discriminated against. He is the second yellow player to enter the NBA and is easily discriminated against.
Perhaps it was because of the home game, even if some fans were upset about Jishou, there was no discrimination.
Of course, no one cheered him.
No surprises, Ikegami and Lafrenz entered the starting lineup.
In addition to them, there are three team marginal people, commonly known as water dispenser watchers. They cannot play on the team and want to show themselves through the summer league.
The same goes for the Trail Blazers. Except Bunch Wells, everyone else is a marginal player, and even Chisaka has never heard of their names.
During the warm-up phase, Chi Shang took the initiative to understand the strengths of the other three players, especially the scoring area they are best at.
They knew Chishang's ability, and Chishang was designated as the organizer by the assistant coach, so they naturally did not dare to offend easily, so they hurriedly revealed the scoring areas they were good at.
When the warm-up was over, Chishang understood them a little more, which was helpful to the organization behind him.
Soon, under the organization of the referee, both sides began to enter the jumping stage, which was carried out by Lafrenz and the opponent's center.
The next moment, the referee threw the orange-red basketball high, and when the basketball started to fall, the two centers jumped one after another.
With better bounce, Lafrenz got in touch with the basketball first and put the basketball racquet to the side.
Wells wanted to compete for basketball, but unfortunately, he was stuck behind the scenes by Chi Shang and had no chance.
Ikesan was skillfully controlling the ball, his eyes were a little distracted, as if he was always paying attention to his teammates' running, which made Wells subconsciously think that Ikesan wanted to pass the ball, and he would inevitably be distracted when defending.
Just when he was distracted, the pool outside the three-point line jumped straight up. At this time, Wells wanted to block the block, and it was obviously too late.

The basketball was hollowed out into the net, opening the first record for the Nuggets.
Seeing the basketball fell into the basket, Chi Shang yelled softly, with an excited look on his face, and he began to turn around and return to defense.
After the Trail Blazers kicked off, the point guard had just dribbled the ball after halftime, and Wells leaned against the pool from his waist and waved to the point guard for the ball.
The point guard did not refuse. Wells was their biggest card on the court, so he naturally did not dare to offend him easily, so he hurriedly threw the ball to Wells.
Wells grabbed the ball with both hands and started playing singles at a low post.
Although his height is less than two meters, his tonnage is heavier, but it is more or less inferior to the pool.
Of course, these are not the key points. The key points are Wells' big PI stocks, and he has a similar style to Barkley, and he has a good low-level singles ability.
Wells leaned against Chi Shang, and his piss began to exert force. Chi Shang felt a little uncomfortable, but he still exerted his strength, and did not take a step back.
In this case, Wells changed his strategy and his shoulders began to sway, giving the feeling of turning around at any time.
"Left or Right?"
Chi Shang knew some about Wells, after all, the other party was also one of the most popular figures in NCAA.
He doesn't think Wells will choose to shoot because this guy's shooting feels stiff and his shooting percentage is unstable.
Sure enough, after shaking a few times, Wells began to turn to the right, and the Chi Shang hurriedly moved his footsteps to block the direction of Wells' movement.
However, at this moment, Wells stopped and turned to the other side.
In a blink of an eye, Wells wiped the pool and rushed towards the penalty area with the ball.
When Wells attacked the penalty area, Chi Shang followed closely behind, and his speed was no slower than Wells who held the ball.
Lafrenz wanted to assist in defense, but was entangled by the opponent's center and lost the best opportunity.
In this case, Wells jumped high and wanted to dunk the ball into the basket.
Just at this moment, a big yellow hand slapped from the side and finally rapped the basketball on the rebound.
Lafrenz reacted quickly, immediately grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to his own point guard.
After halfway through the dribble, the point guard hurriedly passed the ball to Chikan and began to work hard to get rid of the defender.
At this time, Chisaka made a gesture, and Lafrenz hurriedly left the penalty area and took the initiative to pick-and-roll for Chisaka.
Before the start of the summer league, the two had some communication and secretly reached an "agreed".
With the help of Lafrenz's pick-and-roll, Chikaka successfully avoided Wells and rushed into the opponent's penalty area with the ball.
The Trail Blazers' center was shocked and rushed forward to stop it. However, at this moment, Chi Shang hung the ball aside and was caught by Lafrenz.
Lafrenz stands at the front of the penalty area, and Wells is defending him. Compared with Lafrenz, the height difference between the two sides is obviously different.
This was a misalignment. Lafrenz did not miss this opportunity, and jumped up unreasonably, almost ignoring Wells' defense and shot the basketball in his hand.
No matter height, wingspan or strength, Wells was at a disadvantage and did not put much pressure on Lafrenz.
Brush ~
Lafrenz seized the opportunity and easily threw the ball into the basket.
After completing the score, Lafrenz and Chikaka slapped their hands and praised each other.
After the offense and defense transition, the Trail Blazers soon passed the half.
Wells benefited a lot from his four-year college career. After feeling the strength of the defensive defensiveness on the pool, he did not act on purpose, but took the initiative to start running and wait for an opportunity to find opportunities.
However, his teammates don't think so. They are all marginal people on the team and they all have the desire to show their feelings and hope to be favored by the coach.
So the point guard forced the shot.
Clang~
Unfortunately, the basketball did not hit, but jumped high.
At this moment, Wells rushed into the penalty area, then jumped up high, and pushed the basketball into the basket with both hands.
