NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 207 Hitting Gobert in Slow Motion

On the night of losing to the Warriors, the Lakers rushed back to Los Angeles overnight.

No matter how nice the hotel is, it's not as good as your own home.

A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own kennel.

The All-Star game is coming soon, and the recent schedule is relatively easy. There is only one game, and they still sit at home to face the previous defeated Utah Jazz.

Time flies, time flies, and it has been almost a month since Gobert kicked his crotch.

Thinking that his strength was not improving fast enough, Meng Hua couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

During training, Vogel intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Gobert's behavior last time, inciting everyone's hatred for Gobert.

Even the use of such methods also shows that Vogel has run out of tricks.

This directly confirms the nickname that James gave Meng Hua.

All the mouths of gold, accumulating and destroying bones.

Fortunately, Meng Hua has a strong ability to resist blows. He doesn't care if his teammates make jokes about him personally. In fact, as long as the jokes are not aimed at Huaxia, he can always smile.

This in turn made his teammates like him even more.

When you suddenly mention a person's embarrassing things, he still laughs with you, how can you not love him?
Under Vogel's indoctrination for several days, the players regarded Gobert as the number one enemy and vowed to train him well.

This also strengthens the cohesion of the team.

Entering the playoffs, or even winning the championship, is a long-term goal. Even if the team has this strength, it will be a matter in June.

But training Gobert is a short-term goal, so everyone forgets the pain of the three-game losing streak and works towards a common goal.

Gobert arrived as scheduled. He didn't know that he was missed so much, even if he knew, he didn't care.

Which defensive gate is not the villain in the eyes of fans?

Why should I apologize to the Huaxia boy?
I just hate kicking hard enough!

This is the Lakers' last game before the All-Star Game. After a three-game losing streak, online fans condemned it.

But the arena was still full.

This is the Lakers' ball market. Except for the New York Knicks, no one in the league can compare.

Players from both sides entered the court to warm up. Compared with the match a month ago, the Jazz lineup has not changed, and the Lakers ushered in the return of thick eyebrows.

The game started immediately, and Jazz Gobert walked to the middle circle to jump the ball.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little different, he smelled something, and the usually friendly Lakers player had a terrified expression on his face.

Thick eyebrows bared teeth and paws, as if he was not going to give him face from the time he jumped the ball.

Gobert's face turned cold, since this is the case, let's do it, no one is afraid of anyone.

The two raised their right hands high, trying to cross the center line to demonstrate to each other, and also made various jump ball feints with their lower limbs and buttocks, in an attempt to interfere with each other.

The referee threw the ball, Gobert reacted quickly, took off one step ahead, and passed the ball to Mitchell.

He clenched his fists and roared to cheer himself on. This was the first time he was applauded for winning a jump ball.

Mitchell dribbled the ball like the wind, and when he arrived in the frontcourt, he found that Westbrook had already made his plans.

Hmph, knowing that he won't be traded, he was much more positive, he secretly smiled.

Despise the enemy strategically and value the enemy tactically.

After laughing, Mitchell set up camp, started from the most basic details, and approached the opponent step by step.

Getting closer, getting closer, even the crow's feet in the corners of Westbrook's eyes were clearly visible, and Mitchell launched an attack brazenly.

In the world of martial arts, there is nothing that cannot be broken, but only fast.

Mitchell's abnormal lateral speed, one change of direction will throw Westbrook away.

This was not enough, he slowed down suddenly, blocked the chasing Westbrook with his butt, and then used Westbrook's forward strength to start to attack the penalty area again.

His explosive power plus Westbrook's top power, the two forces superimposed, Mitchell has turned into a bolt of lightning.

A bolt of lightning strikes from bottom to top.

Thunder and lightning flashed, and the flames soared into the sky. Mitchell soared through the clouds and made a ferocious dunk with both hands.

The basket was shaken to pieces, what a domineering force.

Nong Mei was secretly startled, but luckily he was a step too slow just now and didn't pounce on the cover, otherwise what was waiting for him would definitely be a buckle.

Mitchell roared and glared at Meng Hua intentionally or unintentionally. Last time he trained him badly. After returning home, he did his homework. He hoped that Meng Hua would defend him.

Before the game, Westbrook actively challenged and asked to defend Mitchell.

Since the management has no deal, it is necessary to complete the season with existing players, so Vogel cannot dampen Westbrook's enthusiasm.

But he also made adjustments and formulated a new defensive strategy, that is, Westbrook defends Mitchell alone, and others are responsible for cutting off Mitchell's passing route and forcing him to play singles.

Meng Hua is responsible for defending Conley. The task is relatively easy, so he has to be a mobile unit. Once Mitchell passes the ball, he has to go up and pinch his teammates, so that his teammates can't score and reduce Mitchell's willingness to pass the ball.

The defense is like this. As for the offense, in the previous hate training, Vogel has already arranged it. Whoever holds the ball should try to pass the pick-and-roll to single-play Gobert.

James holds the ball, and he and Thick Eyebrow are executing this strategy.

After the pick-and-roll, it really was Gobert defending James. After all, he won three best defensive players. Even if he was transferred to the outside, it would not be easy for James to beat him.

It is also because it is not easy, so the two sides will definitely confront each other, which will consume a lot of energy.

Five people take turns to beat Gobert, how much energy reserve can he have?

In the fourth quarter, it is estimated that Gobert's legs will be full of lead, and that is when the Lakers rushed to the inside.

Vogel designed it like this, but he doesn't know if he can play it.

He has never made such a crazy hunting plan for a player.

James kept changing directions, chiseled in twice, made a turnaround jumper and hit two points.

There was a strong muscle collision, and he and Gobert both let out an "ah", and they didn't know whether they wanted to foul the referee, or they just screamed out of comfort.

The Jazz attacked, Mitchell called a pick-and-roll and wanted to hit Meng Hua, but the Lakers didn't switch defenses, so he had to continue to single-play Westbrook.

He felt hot, made a three-pointer against Westbrook, and looked at Westbrook provocatively.

It wasn't Meng Hua who defended him. Although he shot in, he felt that something was missing. The shot was not pleasant, at least not completely released.

There is one more point of displeasure. The Lakers didn't panic about his goal. They seemed to have already calculated that he would score.

The Lakers still attacked Gobert, but this time it was Meng Hua who singled out Gobert.

The fans still remembered the grievances between the two and spontaneously cheered for Meng Hua.

Amidst the tide of cheers, Meng Huayun dribbled the ball in a calm and unhurried manner.

Generally, when a small man hits a big man, the tempo is accelerated, so that the big man loses his center of gravity, and then breaks through or shoots a jumper.

Like Meng Hua, it is impossible to fix Gobert.

Meng Hua didn't move much, and then he received the ball, almost on the spot, a golden chicken leaned back, and threw the ball.

The ball has a high arc, flies fast, and is a hollow ball.

Gobert didn't believe that he was going to shoot until Meng Hua raised the ball to his shoulders, and it was too late for him to make the jump.

Meng Hua dribbled the ball with his left hand and joined his right palm together, as if in slow motion.

Gobert thought he must be playing some tricks, such as Buddha dribbling or something, and he didn't believe that he would just shoot like this, so his reaction was half a beat slow.
