Jamal Murray, following the plan, quickly passed the ball out.
On the perimeter, Little Porter used a screen to get to the sideline, then caught the ball.
However, just as he was about to shoot, Chen Xi had already switched onto him.
After hesitating for a moment, Porter gritted his teeth and simply rose up right where he was, forcing up a three-point attempt.
Clearly, banking on the excellent shooting touch he'd shown tonight, he planned to shoot right over Chen.
Seeing this, Chen Xi immediately jumped, then used his own excellent leaping ability to catch up with Little Porter in the air.
Although the difference in height and wingspan kept him from blocking the shot outright, he could still make sure to contest it.
Well, maybe—
Swish—
The sound of the ball swishing through the net came from behind him. Chen Xi turned around in disbelief and looked at the ball as it dropped beneath the basket again.
"WTF?! He made that? Did this kid turn on cheats?!"
He turned back to look at Porter.
The guy was excitedly flashing a three-point celebration with his right hand, then jogging toward his own end of the court.
Along the way, he even high-fived a few of his teammates one by one, his excitement plain to see.
You had to admit, given Chen's stature these days, shooting right over him was definitely something worth celebrating~~
Especially for role players who were still relatively unknown.
Chen couldn't help feeling helpless about it~~
But that was basketball. When a player got hot, he could make shots right over you.
Besides, Porter was a tall shooter with outstanding physical gifts.
Of course, more importantly, Chen still had to focus on the game in front of him—and on the next possession.
