NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 450 Two steals from Tatum



Chapter 450 Stealing Tatum Twice

TD North Shore Garden Arena, a large number of fans arrived early.

The stadium has not yet opened, and they gathered outside the stadium, either exchanging favorite stars, or scolding the Lakers stars, it's not easy to talk.

The Lakers and Celtics are old enemies.

No matter how friendly the players are on the court, the fans of both sides are in a fierce battle of words.

The game has not yet started, James, thick eyebrows and Westbrook have been blackened by the fans.

In the Lakers press conference before the game, Vogel continued to feed the tainted milk and praised the Celtics, saying that they are a great team, and their results are getting better and better under the leadership of the young Tatum.

These are all nonsense, they have all entered the finals, can the results be bad?
But sometimes, nonsense is just talk, and if you don’t talk, he won’t talk. What do reporters use as material?You can't just make it up yourself.

James also praised Tatum fiercely, repeatedly saying that he is excellent.

A reporter asked him who is better, he or Tatum.

Of course, James does not directly compare, but always emphasizes that Tatum is excellent.

At the Celtics press conference, unexpectedly, most of the reporter's questions were about Meng Hua.

It seems that they also know the ball very well, knowing that to solve the Lakers, they must solve this annoying Meng Hua.

"Be sure to cut off the claws next to James, the tiger, such as thick eyebrows, such as Meng Hua."

"We have Smart, and Meng Hua can't make trouble."

"We must pay attention to him. The Lakers were able to pass the Warriors because he was shot to death, and he made Curry very uncomfortable."

Tatum looked at these reporters and really wanted to scold their mothers, aren't you boosting their morale?Coach Uduka is not an idiot, you can all see that Meng Hua is amazing, will we be unprepared?
In the locker room of the visiting team, Vogel is encouraging his generals.

"We are ranked tenth, passed five stages and cut six generals, all the way to the finals. We only need 4 wins before we make history..."

In the locker room of the home team, Udoka also made a fuss about the Lakers' No.10.

"They ranked tenth. If we lose in the finals, we will definitely be treated as a background. I don't think any of us want to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history..."

Next, both sides played.

Tatum played the finale, and the atmosphere on the court reached a fever pitch.

The shouts of the fans are like the roar of a Buddhist lion.

The players of the home team listened, their morale was greatly boosted, and their martial virtues were full.

The players of the visiting team were shocked and dispirited after hearing this.

After a brief warm-up, the game begins.

The Celtics are wearing white jerseys, with point guard Smart at positions [-] to [-], shooting guard Jaylen Brown, small front Tatum, power forward Horford, and center Williams.

The Lakers are wearing purple and gold jerseys, with Westbrook, Rivers, Meng Hua, James and thick eyebrows at positions one to five.

The lineups of both sides are very balanced, and the offense and defense are directly matched.

Nongmei hit the ball, and the Lakers took the lead in attacking.

Under Smart's restraint, Westbrook swayed left and right, failed to find a chance, and passed the ball to James.

James swayed Horford from the outside, entered the penalty area, and faced Williams who was defending, he turned into a left-handed basket.

Not only Williams, but Tatum followed closely behind and blocked James' layup.

Williams gets the ball and passes it to Tatum.

Just as Tatum was about to dribble, Meng Hua had already appeared beside him. He switched to dribbling with his left hand farther away from Meng Hua.

The two fought all the way, and Tatum managed to dribble the ball across the half court.

He was so defensive at the beginning, Tatum was very angry, and he was going to give Meng Hua a little color.

Tatum crosses the dribble, then sticks out his left hand to clear the drive.

This is no longer an elbow, this is all about pushing people.

Meng Hua was short, avoiding Tatum's arm, reaching for the ball.

Tatum thought that there must be no problem with his left hand, and he had no protection for the ball. He took it for granted.

The opponent he faced had even better defense than DPOY's smart brother.

Snapped!
Meng Hua completed the steal, accelerated and accelerated again, reached the basket, and took off for a dunk.

The stadium, which was still noisy just now, became quiet in an instant.

One break and one attack, this No. 95 is too powerful.

Some fans who don't pay much attention to other teams began to ask who the number 95 is.

Tatum caught the ball that fell from the net, somewhat embarrassing.

He remembered that a few months ago, Meng Hua rewarded him with many chasing hats.

He has always been able to forget unpleasant things quickly, but it doesn't mean that he won't remember them again at some point.

Next, Tatum restrained a lot, didn't hold the ball very much, just kept running, consuming Meng Hua's physical energy.

His physical strength is very good, so he wants to run and kill the opponent first, and then attack.

It's just that he seems to have forgotten that Meng Hua is not yet 20 years old, so how could he have no physical strength?

Tatum is almost out of the system, just attracting Meng Hua's defense.

The Celtics rely on Brown and Smart to barely support the team's offense.

Fortunately, the Lakers' offense is not strong, and the thick eyebrows even missed the counter-basket that is close at hand.

No one expected that in the first quarter of the finals, both sides fought hard to defend.

Vogel sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not in a hurry.

Udoka, on the other hand, couldn't sit still. Although his team's offense was okay, the routine was not a conventional routine, and Tatum disappeared.

Relying on Brown and Smart is unreliable after all. They often play tricks and ghosts.

"Maybe it's just the beginning of the finals, and I'm nervous, and it will be fine after this period."

Uduka comforted himself inwardly. He was not Tatum. He didn't feel the horror of Meng Hua's defense at close range. He thought it was Tatum who was nervous.

In fact, Tatum is not nervous at all. The problem is that Meng Hua who defends him is too strong, forcing him to not play like before.

After James broke through and scored, the Lakers led 15-13 by 2 points. Their offense was very balanced, and all five players scored.

Smart dribbled the ball across half court, handed it to Tatum at the top of the arc, and then motioned for everyone to pull away.

Tatum has been without the ball for so long, and it's time to play singles with the ball.

Since the front frame is not easy to hit, let's back the frame.

Tatum turned around halfway, step by step pushing Meng Hua inward.

Meng Hua's bottom plate is very stable, and Tatum is not a strong type, and it is very difficult to push up.

Fortunately, he still has some skills, not facing the hard top, but sideways.

Worried about his iron elbow, Meng Hua fought and retreated.

Tatum reached the elbow area, secretly happy, and when he got here, he turned around and made a jumper, and he could score two points casually.

Uduka also nodded secretly, with the stone in his heart at ease, he knew that his love sauce would be fine.

No one can guard against his Tatum, even DPOY Smart in the team, let alone Meng Hua, who is similar in size to Smart.

Tatum received the ball, turned back to the right, raised his arm, turned over and shot a jumper.

At the moment when the ball was exposed, Meng Hua's hand cut the ball precisely like lightning.

He waited so hard for this moment.

Snapped!
Meng Hua took another step, grabbed the ball first, and accelerated towards the opponent's penalty area.

Behind him, a black lightning chased after him. As expected of DPOY, Smart reacted quickly.

One step inside the three-point line, Smart finally caught up with Meng Hua.

Meng Hua dribbled outwards, turned around quickly, took half a body ahead, and took three steps towards the penalty area.

Smart chased after him hard, and he was also waiting for Meng Hua's shot.

Meng Hua didn't make a move at all, and directly dunked with both hands.

Smart's judgment was right, and he also blocked Meng Hua's ball.

But Meng Hua's strength was too domineering, and the ball was still dunked in.
