NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 301

Meng Hua got up from the floor, trembled and made two free throws.

Paul received the ball, and Meng Hua immediately went to bite.

Paul sneered: "Didn't you just get injured and live so quickly?"

Meng Hua said, "You are young, you recover quickly, unlike some old men."

He glanced at Paul, and deliberately said, "I didn't mention you."

Paul quickly dribbled through the half court and replied, "You play too dirty. I'm going to give you a nickname, Dirty King."

Meng Hua smiled: "James and Melon have called you dirty, they told me to be careful."

While the two were bickering, their hands were not idle, one resorted to the "Dragon Binding Hand", and the other frantically dribbled the ball.

In the end, Paul found Booker and assisted him to throw a three-pointer.

James ran without the ball and cut the penalty area from the top of the arc.

Westbrook told people to play without the ball. It would be a joke if he couldn't pass the ball. Fortunately, he still has a lot of skills in passing the ball and sent a wonderful pass.

James took the ball and took off, took three steps, and the last step was flying in the sky.

The Sun simply gave up on defense.

Bang!
James dunked and celebrated with Westbrook after landing.

"Just play like this, good job, Russell." James encouraged.

If Westbrook can keep doing this without making mistakes, he can accept playing off the ball.

The sun attacked, and Meng Hua continued to bite.

This time, Bridges covered in the backcourt and blocked Meng Hua to save Paul's energy.He is a strong defensive player, and he can see that Paul is somewhat out of breath. There is an easier way, so why be persistent.

Meng Hua said lightly: "This needs to be covered by teammates, what a grown-up." This time he took the initiative to provoke.

Paul glared at him: "It's old, seeing you is like seeing my son."

Menghua language is blocked.

Paul's eyes were spitting fire, and his anger returned to anger. He was still thinking clearly, and he picked and rolled with Crowder. Crowder made a roll, and Paul made a fake fax shot and hit a two-pointer on Westbrook's head.

Among the Lakers, the worst defensive player is Westbrook, who killed him in a pick-and-roll.

What's wrong if you can't prevent it?Back at halftime, the young master continued to soar, broke through Paul, and made a layup from the basket.

Paul continued to call Claude. This time Westbrook and Meng Hua didn't cooperate well, and both rushed towards Paul.

It can also be understood that the two gave up Claude at the same time and flanked Paul.

Claude is not a fuel-efficient lamp, feeling that there seems to be no one around him, he raised his hand and lowered it.

Paul passes the lob.

There are Westbrook and Meng Hua in the underground, and the golf ball is safe.

The moment he hit the ball, Meng Hua Dapeng spread his wings, jumped high, stretched out his giant palm in the air, and received Paul's ball.

Paul grabbed the ball at the first time, but Meng Hua had no chance, so he held the ball tightly and waited for the opportunity.

Paul refused to retreat and grabbed his hands. Meng Hua raised his arms to prevent the ball from being intercepted by him.

Paul fell backwards.

beep!
The referee blew the whistle in time and called Meng Hua for a foul.

Meng Hua shook his head, spread his hands, and said to the referee, "I didn't touch him at all."

"Will I fall to the ground if I don't touch it?" Paul exclaimed angrily.

The referee signaled, you all shut up.

The Suns continued to attack, this time switching to Ayton's pick-and-roll, Paul misplaced and hit the thick eyebrows who switched defenses, using small to play big, but it was a pity that he hit iron.

This ball Paul has successfully tricked the thick eyebrows into throwing, but unfortunately he was not very lucky, the ball bounced a few times, and he still ran out.

So far in the game, Paul has been interrupted twice, hit the iron once, made a shot once, and drew a foul once. His performance is average and below his average level.

Even so, the Suns are only 7-10 behind by three points, which is the league's number one strength.

The Lakers attacked, Westbrook held the ball, and James continued to run without the ball. This change really made Bridges exhausted.

James is already a tank. If he runs without the ball, he is a tank running at high speed. How to defend against it?
The defensive focus of others is somewhat involved by James' running.

Westbrook looked at James, and after hitting the ground to Nongmei, seeing Nongmei receiving the ball steadily, Westbrook was as happy as a child.

It's about not looking at the pass, and I do too.

With thick eyebrows and shoulders shaking, he turned and leaned back and made a jumper.

Westbrook is even happier.

This is assists, and I will too.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Monty got up and asked for a timeout.

"They changed their offensive strategy, with Westbrook holding the ball, James increased off-ball movement. We also have to adjust, Booker to mark James, Bridges to mark Westbrook, Paul to be in charge of Rivers, Claude and Ayton remain the same, understand?"

Paul volunteered: "Can I mark Meng Hua, and match him both offensively and defensively, and Crowder will guard Rivers."

In fact, neither Meng Hua nor Rivers is the main attack point, and the defensive pressure is not great, but of course Paul wants to defend Meng Hua more.

Where there is pressure, there is motivation.

Paul spoke, and Monty naturally agreed.

On the Lakers side, Vogel estimated that the opponent would adjust their strategy and made corresponding adjustments.

You will change, and so will I.

Back on the court, the Suns attack.

Paul holds the ball at 45 degrees on the left wing and picks and rolls with Ayton.

Ayton went down to the basket non-stop after blocking.

The Lakers' thick eyebrows and Meng Hua suddenly chose to pinch Paul to delay his pass; at the same time, Rivers defensively rotated to the basket, preparing to block Ayton.

Seeing that Paul was about to play the ball, Meng Hua, who moved faster, rushed to the basket, and Rivers pinched Ayton.

With this ball, the Lakers suddenly changed their defensive strategy, and the players on the court were very understanding.

This is what Vogel confessed during the timeout.

It's a pity that Ayton still scored. Facing the Lakers' two strongest perimeter defenses, he made a difficult turn and fallback hit.

Just from the point of soft touch, Ayton can definitely compete for the top spot among the centers.

If we must say his shortcomings, it is that the shooting range has not been extended to three points.

He is still young, and he has plenty of opportunities to develop this weakness.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Westbrook stopped holding the ball. After playing so many, it should make others feel good.

He just asked to control the ball a little more, and didn't say that he should control all the ball.

So during the timeout, when Vogel predicted that the Suns would adjust their defensive strategy and prepare to change their offensive strategy, Westbrook raised his hands in favor.

The Lakers pretended to play one star and four shots, leaving only James on one side, and the other four ran to the weak side.

James turned his back and pushed Booker twice.

Booker yelled "ahhmm" twice.

James turned around and made a jumper and hit a two-pointer.

The Suns attacked, Paul continued to play pick-and-roll with Ayton.

Worried about being blocked, this time they chose the top of the arc, where they can pass on both sides, and there are open areas everywhere.

Ayton still cuts to the basket after the pick-and-roll.

Nong Mei and Meng Hua resolutely pinched Paul. They almost succeeded in defending just now, so there was no reason not to insist.

Paul didn't pass the pass to Ayton, who was going down. This kind of pass was very difficult. He passed it to Claude who came out of the baseline and ran to the lateral position.

Crowder flashed a pass to Ayton, and Ayton caught the ball and went straight to the basket. He made a pull to avoid Rivers and moved forward easily.

He landed a layup, and Meng Hua, who was out of breath and wanted to pinch him with his teammates, just ran over.

For two consecutive rounds, Vogel's strategy of flanking Paul was broken by the Suns.

In order to double-team Paul and Ayton, Meng Hua exhausted his energy.

So Vogel waved his hand, stop, stop, let Meng Hua defend Paul alone.
