NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 472



Chapter 472
Monk and Meng Hua are very similar. Vogel has never let the two play pick-and-rolls before. They always separate the two and play pick-and-rolls with James and Westbrook.

But in the previous training, he had a whim and joined this tactic.

Monk's offensive firepower can completely coexist with Meng Hua on the court, and then the two of them cooperate to play pick-and-rolls, which should be sparks.

Vogel learned inspiration from the Warriors.

Poole and Curry are also very similar. Both of them are still very average in defense. Kerr dared to put them on the court at the same time. There is no reason why the Lakers can't put Meng Hua and Monk.

This was originally a tactic used at critical moments, but now that Westbrook was forced to leave the field and the score fell behind, Vogel had to resort to his ultimate move in advance.

Monk held the ball and faced Smart, a little bit scared.

Meng Hua came up quickly, and he was also worried that Monk would be cut off.

One of the two faces to the left and the other to the right, standard pick-and-roll cooperation.

The Celtics switched defenses, Smart and Tatum moved quickly.

When Monk passed the ball to Meng Hua in a bit of embarrassment, Smart's thigh was already inserted into Meng Hua's middle road.

Meng Hua dribbled back; Smart forced a step.

Meng Hua retreats again, this time Smart will not force him.

If it is too far outside, if the opponent passes by and the teammates face Meng Hua who is rushing up at high speed, they can only raise their hands and surrender.

It can also be seen from this detail that Smart's defensive awareness.

No matter how strong the defensive awareness is, there will be times when you will be deflated.

Meng Hua saw that Smart was not up for grabs, so he simply shot directly at the logo area.

In the TNT studio, there was a lot of discussion.

"Oh my god, what is he going to do? The final tie-breaker, this is the logo area."

"Super big heart, I think this ball will work."

"In the Logo area, Smart let him make an empty basket, and if he goes one step further, he will face Smart's defense. There is nothing wrong with this choice."

The ball rolled forward until there was a crisp "shua".

Smart knew that he had lost the bet, and he glared at Meng Hua unwillingly, hoping to save some face.

Meng Hua didn't look at him at all, and said to Monk who was back on defense: "Brother, don't be nervous, mad dogs sometimes bite people, but in the end they will definitely be beaten to death with random sticks."

He was a little nervous in the battle of life and death, let alone Munch who had just been replaced.

Monk replied: "Okay, let's fight Mad Dog together."

The three-point logo once again tightened the hearts of the Celtics fans. They were too afraid of Meng Hua. They even hoped that Tatum could forcefully push Meng Hua down like Smart did.

The Celtics are attacking, and Smart is still holding the ball.

He can beat Westbrook down, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with letting him push hard.

Tatum and Brown both chose the weak side.

Smart was very satisfied to be able to attack with a knife three times in a row. He once again performed a push and pushed Monk to the inside.

Monk doesn't have Westbrook's strength, and because of this, he tries to avoid physical contact with Smart so that the referee can't find fault.

When Smart went to the basket and made a final layup, Monk bounced up like a spring and struggled to block the shot.

Smart was startled, his hands shook, and he missed the layup that was close at hand.

Three offenses and two successes are supposed to be pretty good, but they only scored two points.

The Lakers continued to attack, this time it was James with the ball.

Monk pans for a screen, and one crosses the other.

James hit the ground, and Monk, who was outside the three-point line, caught the ball and flicked it.

Getting used to Westbrook's fake moves, Smart jumped up when he suddenly saw something different.

Monk bowed his waist and released the ball, and strode towards the penalty area to kill.

Speed ​​up, speed up, speed up again.

He knew that the enemy would definitely come to help him defend. Before that, he needed enough speed.

Sure enough, Williams pounced, and Monk flew up, gliding through the air.

Where to escape!
Williams' long arms cover his ball space.

But he just covered the left side of the rim, Monk continued to glide, reached the right side of the rim, and made a layup.

Munch landed on the ground, with huge inertia and extreme belly stretching, he didn't stop, and fell heavily on the floor.

If a heavy fall can be exchanged for a reverse basket, it is estimated that the wooden floor will be collapsed by him.

Although the veteran joined the Lakers with a basic salary, Monk worked hard, dared to fight, and made great contributions to the Lakers as well as himself.

The point difference returned to within one goal, the Celtics were a little panicked, and Udoka called a timeout.

He will call a timeout because Tatum hasn't played yet. He will encourage Ai Jiang to play more off-ball cooperation with his teammates to contribute to the team.

Returning to the game, Tatum immediately made contributions.

It was a double screen, and Williams and Horford pulled up, their fleshy tendons clamping Meng Hua firmly like a mountain.

Tatum drifts horizontally and vertically, and raising his hand is a three-pointer.

On the outside, there is too much room to dodge, and the defensive thick eyebrows and James can't stop him.

This was Tatum's first goal of the night, and he couldn't hide his excitement, with tears in his eyes.

James, who also hasn't scored a goal, feels the same way.

Westbrook went off the court, and Monk didn't hold the ball too much, and handed the ball to James.

James is trying to attack with the ball. He doesn't want to score zero and call Monk for a pick-and-roll.

The two cooperated tacitly, and the offense the Lakers relied on most was their pick-and-roll.

Monk took a second, and the defender in front of him became Horford.

On the perimeter, Smart fears no one.

James turned around and hit back, Smart confronted strongly.

Bang!
The muscles of the two clashed fiercely, just like Westbrook bumped into Smart.

Although Smart is strong, his strength and weight are several grades behind James.

Bang!
James made another effort, then turned around and shot a jumper.

Smart was bounced away, and although he quickly jumped on it again, James had already shot.

Swish!
James hit a two-pointer. Like Tatum just now, he was also very excited, as if he hit a lore.

If you want to catch up or even overtake the score, in addition to being able to score goals, you must also be able to defend on the defensive end.

The Lakers couldn't hold it, and then the Celtics' five tigers took turns to ravage the Lakers' ball frame.

The Lakers had no choice but to attack with offense.

James, who is in possession of the ball, is smiling, as if he has returned to his peak.

It just seemed that his defense would never go back.

With Horford hitting a three-pointer, the first quarter ended.

The Celtics led the Lakers by 30 points 24-6.

For the Lakers, Meng Hua scored the most with 9 points, James with 5 points, Thick Eyebrow with 4 points, Monk with 4 points, and Westbrook with 2 points.

Cruising on various occasions, Rivers, who served as the glue of the team, did not score.

Although James only scored 5 points, he has all the rebounds and assists, and the statistics are pretty good.

This is the offensive rhythm he likes, but this rhythm may not be able to win the Celtics.

Of course, they may not lose. The game is not over yet, and who can know the result in advance.

Westbrook was very depressed and troubled by fouls. He took 4 minutes more rest than usual.

He vowed to make it up in the second quarter.

The major media have made predictions one after another, fearing that it will be too slap in the face, and no one dares to speak too much.

In addition to Tencent Studio, the four famous mouths firmly believe that the Lakers will definitely win the game.

They seem to have more confidence in the Lakers than in themselves.

But basketballs are also round.
