NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 465

The Celtics trailed by 12 points, and it was still the Lakers' offense.

The eyes of the whole team were red, as if they were going to eat people.

If they could win just by staring, they would have already won.

Smart took the lead, staring, and using the dragon's claws, wishing he could lie in Westbrook's arms.

This kind of defense, regardless of one's own center of gravity, is to stick into the arms of others, which is very clever.

First of all, you must be able to keep the center of gravity very low, and secondly, you must be able to change quickly when the center of gravity is low, firmly follow the opponent's footsteps, and lean on him as much as possible, so that he cannot find a breakthrough space.

When Smart made a big move, Westbrook had no choice but to pass the ball.

He handles the ball more rationally than before, and rarely hits around.

James didn't call the pick-and-roll, and directly singled Horford.

Among the five opponents, Horford's defense is the weakest. If it is called a pick-and-roll, wouldn't it be a replacement for the strong one.

James' idea is correct, but it's a pity that he didn't call Horford.

The two are about the same age, and Horford is not very afraid of him.

As long as Horford can keep up with his footsteps and not be overstepped, and compete with experience and awareness, James does not have much advantage.

James looked up at the score, and was still leading by 12 points, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Back at halftime, the Celtics attacked, and Horford waited outside the three-point line.

Wait for the flowers to bloom.

He received a return pass from Brown and immediately shot a three-pointer.

This kind of return pass after a breakthrough is very lethal.

Everyone's focus was on Brown. At this time, Horford moved deftly, ran into Brown's passing line of sight, and succeeded in a jumper after receiving the ball.

The point difference came to 9 points, and the Celtics were slightly relieved.

Smart continued to stalk Westbrook, making it difficult for him to connect the ball.

Anyway, there are two ball handlers, Westbrook and James, and the Lakers simply let James control the ball.

James holds the ball and observes the Celtics defense from the top of the arc.

The last goal was not scored. If it was Kobe, he would definitely play this ball again until Horford collapsed or his own team collapsed; but he is James, with a different basketball philosophy, he will not choose to attack again.

He motioned for Nongmei to come over and play the pick-and-roll.

The Celtics switched defenses, James faced Williams, chose to pass the ball, and let the thick eyebrow singles Horford.

The thick eyebrows were also slapped on the back, squeezing in step by step.

The rhythm is very similar to James, one attacks from the front and the other pokes from the side.

Horford can guard against James, and he can also guard against thick eyebrows. At this moment, he turned into an inside gate, explaining the strength of tens of millions of wages.

Defending the opponent's No. [-] and No. [-], Horford's energy was rampant in his body, and the small universe couldn't wait to explode.

It's a great honor, something Horford hasn't enjoyed in a long time.

This, in turn, affects his offensive form.

In the TNT studio, O'Neal suddenly asked: "Why doesn't James play a pick-and-roll with Meng Hua? This was the Lakers' signature offensive method before."

When he said this, he also reminded the other two.

Smith said: "Yeah, today's game, I hardly saw this kind of attack from them, but Westbrook and Meng Hua played a lot."

Barkley said: "Honestly speaking, if James and Meng Hua play a pick-and-roll, it will be more powerful."

O'Neal said: "Yeah, Westbrook can only rush in, and James also has outside shots."

Barkley added: "But in this game, the Lakers have added a lot of cooperation between Westbrook and Meng Hua. I guess they are trying to prevent their opponents from understanding their offensive routines."

O'Neill said: "It's not just one or two fights, and you can still hide it at the beginning. The third quarter is almost over, so where is there any secret?"

Smith said: "Meng Hua and Westbrook have played a lot, and he has to mark Tatum again. I guess James is afraid of exhausting his energy."

O'Neill said with a smile: "I'm at this weight, so I have to worry about exhaustion. Meng Hua's age and weight, playing for 48 minutes is no problem."

Smith scratched his head: "What you said seems to make sense."

Barkley said: "As long as you can win the game, it's fine if you don't pass it to Meng Hua."

Victory can mask all problems, and Barkley was right.

It's just that the Lakers lead by 9 points, and there is still more than one quarter in the game. They may not be able to win forever.

Celtics attack.

Smart, Brown and Tatum took turns holding the ball, and none of them had a good chance.

Tatum passed Horford again.

Horford took a step away from the three-point line and shot directly.

Normally, his shooting range is one step away from the three-point line, but now he plays with momentum and confidence, and shoots directly from one step away.

James did his homework, but the problem was his homework.

In his memory, Horford would not attack like this, so when Horford received the ball, he thought he was just going to transition and didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, Horford, who has been beaten with chicken blood, has also increased his range, piercing Yang with a hundred steps, and succeeding in sneak attacks.

These few rounds have made James extremely embarrassed.

On offense, facing Horford's entanglement, he failed to open; conversely, on the defensive end, he was attacked again and again by his opponents.

More than embarrassment, it was humiliation.

There are still 6 points in the gap. The Celtics seem to have discovered the weakness of the Lakers and still send Smart to prevent Westbrook from receiving the ball.

In James' career, he has never encountered an opponent using such a defensive strategy.

To prevent his teammates from receiving the ball is to ask him to attack, and that is how he looks down on him.

James' eyes spit out anger, and he turned his horsepower to the maximum. He must complete this attack.

James signaled his teammates to get out of the way. He was at the top of the arc, facing up to the frame and back to the frame, pressing Horford and walking in.

Horford retreated steadily and couldn't stand James at all.

James made three laps to the left and three laps to the right, pinning Horford to the elbow.

The strength is too clear, and the live DJ plays the soundtrack of the attack. In his eyes, Horford in the local area is already a corpse.

With a smile on his face, the on-site commentator frequently listed James' back-up evolution history.

"LeBron is really a great player. In the Heat, against the Mavericks in the finals, facing 180 Barea inside, LeBron still chose to pass the ball to the outside, which became a big joke.

"Since then, LeBron has worked hard, crafted the post-up attack, and gradually became a master of the post-up game.

"The reason why Kobe looks down on Harden is because Harden only has face-up technology, and his back-up has never been developed."

James swings left, then spins right, then flips left for a jumper.

He was blocked by Williams just now, so he is not only playing Horford, but also defending Williams.

Before James took off, Williams on the other side was really shocked, and his strong body rushed to the other side.

The on-site commentator laughed: "Williams is such an idiot. He wanted to block twice. How could LeBron step into that river at the same time?"

The turnaround movement is smooth and smooth, and the turnaround jumper is as easy as lifting. James played the ball very beautifully.

The audience couldn't help applauding.

Bang!
It's hard.

James shook his head, and then raised his hand to make a shooting motion. He couldn't figure it out, how could such a shot hit the iron?
