NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 305 Paul breaks the double team

The Suns were a little flustered. Ayton has scored five consecutive goals from the last goal of the first quarter to the present, and the Twin Towers stopped inside.

But the score did not catch up, and the opponent still gave way to Wang Zha.

Paul couldn't help looking and turned to the head coach for his opinion.

Monty signaled that he insisted on bombing the inside line, not only the old cannons, but also the Italian cannons.

Paul had no choice but to continue delivering shells inside.

Even if you want to play the Twin Towers, you don't need to feed every ball to the inside, but the Lakers almost give up the inside defense. This kind of huge temptation makes the Suns can't help but hang to the inside.

However, Paul still adjusted his posture slightly, changed his tricks, and passed to McGee in the high position. McGee hit high and scored two points.

McGee, who has been reused, is very excited. He is just a secondary player. He usually scores in single digits for 10 minutes in a game.

In the playoffs, the playing time has been greatly reduced. How dare you think that there will be such a bright moment.

Train hard and persevere will pay off.

Thinking of O'Neill's slander, McGee clenched his fist secretly, and if he won the championship, he must slap him in the face hard.

Paul continued to block Westbrook. His physical strength was exhausted. The Lakers played too fast, and the double-high movement speed was not enough, forcing him to chase Westbrook immediately.

Westbrook cat-and-mouse, played with Paul twice, gave the ball to Tucker, then ran to him to catch the ball, and continued to play.

Paul cursed angrily, but he had no choice but to keep running.

Monk came out of the baseline for a pick-and-roll. He rolled it very quickly. The Suns defender jumped up and he passed to Rivers.

Rivers rushed into the inside after a three-point feint, and succeeded in picking the basket against Ayton's block.

Paul got the ball and was so angry that he smashed the ball to the floor. His teammates were really fast.

He is in a hurry, he is in a hurry.

Meng Hua didn't go up to press, and quickly retreated to the backcourt, whispering to Rivers and Tucker.

Paul King Kong glared, seeing that Meng Hua didn't come up to force him, he felt a little better.

In the frontcourt, Ayton and McGee knew each other well and squeezed inside. Paul signaled them to pull away and come out to cover.

Ayton mentioned the line cover, and Tucker followed.

The Lakers didn't switch defenses and suddenly flanked Paul.

They had flanked twice before and failed, so Vogel let Meng Hua defend alone.

Seeing that Paul was in a hurry, Meng Hua secretly discussed with Tucker and asked him to attack again.

Paul is unflappable, puts away the ball, and puts his elbows.

Turn left and turn again, and pass to Booker who responds.

The Lakers have switched positions, and Westbrook is defending Ayton inside.

Booker didn't make a strong shot and fed it to Ayton.

As soon as Ayton received the ball, the Lakers pinched again, unable to turn around, worried about losing the ball, Ayton returned the ball to Paul again.

At the moment when he passed the ball, Meng Hua Spirit Snake, who had been staring at him for a long time, came out of the hole.

No matter how clever the snake is, it will not have such a speed of exiting the hole. Meng Hua is more like a bolt of lightning.

He poked the ball in a diagonal stab, and the man also accelerated to rush over.

There were Suns players around. After getting the ball, Meng Hua stopped and hugged the ball tightly, protecting it first. Paul was on the last line and couldn't play a fast break.

He was pushed on the back, with a huge thrust, he threw the ball and fell to the ground with a plop.

It was Paul. He chose to foul intentionally and gave Meng Hua a hard blow from behind.

There is nothing wrong with this ball awareness, but the foul is a bit big.

Paul was very obedient and raised his hand to signal that he had fouled.

The referee saw that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistake and called a common foul.

Vogel shook his head and smiled wryly.

Monty looked at him, also laughing: home whistle, you know.

The Lakers continued to attack, and Westbrook passed it to Tucker, signaling him to train Ayton.

Tucker's eyes showed a fierce look, and old and new grudges welled up in his heart.

If you hit me with your height inside, I will hit you with your footsteps on the outside, one for another.

Tucker turned left and right, accelerated his footsteps, broke through Ai to attack the basket, and scored two points lightly.

The Suns attacked, Paul chose the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, ready to let Ayton train Meng Hua.

The Lakers continued to double-team the ball holder, and Paul couldn't find a chance to pass the ball. This time he didn't stop the ball and passed it to Johnson.

Johnson shot a three-pointer and hit the iron.

Two consecutive attacks were unfavorable, and both were double-teamed by the opponent. Paul's head began to calculate again, and he had to break the opponent's double-team.

He sensed the threat on the court, and Coach Monty off the court was also frowning.

Even Smith, who has little to do with the result of the game, is worried about them.

Smith scratched his head: "The Lakers' defense is very targeted. The Suns are not easy to handle. The Lakers' Wang Zhake is still sitting on the sidelines to rest."

O'Neill asked: "I don't feel it. What is the purpose? Isn't Meng Hua always defending Paul alone?"

Smith smiled and said: "Single defense, what are you kidding, can he defend?"

"It's definitely impossible to defend. They only lead by 15 points. If they lead by 20 points, they will be considered to be defended." O'Neill glanced at the statistics and said seriously.

Smith said angrily: "To be honest, the Lakers played well this time, but people with a discerning eye should also be able to see that this is Westbrook's role. I know you have to emphasize Meng Hua again, save yourself, what's wrong with him? How many points did he score? Did he guard Paul? It's a joke, the Suns have been scoring, but they scored two points, and the Lakers scored three points, so they fell behind."

Seeing that Smith was angry, Barkley knocked on the table and said, "You can't beat him, you have no right to be angry. Go back to the game. Now the Lakers are obviously double-teaming. What will the Suns do?"

"Two-man pick-and-roll." Without thinking, Smith said, "Six people lead to a point, and then the pick-and-rollers spread out."

Barkley said: "But they are playing the Twin Towers, so they can't play like this."

While several people were talking, Paul dribbled the ball to half court.

Meng Hua did not stick to the defense, and the rhythm cannot remain the same forever.

And he suddenly didn't stick to the defense, it was also an attempt, in order to let Paul play the pick-and-roll smoothly, otherwise how could he double-team.

Paul was also very cunning, he seemed to see through Meng Hua's tricks, and he stopped in the Logo area.

The two confronted each other, yelling at each other.

"Come down."

"Come up."

The shrew scolded the street for a long time, but Paul moved first, after all, there were 24 seconds.

He directed Ayton to come up to pick and roll, Meng Hua didn't dare to let Paul go too far, and Tucker didn't dare to go so far to double-team Paul.

Paul dribbled the ball past Meng Hua, Ayton inserted inside, blocked Tucker, received Paul's long-distance pass, and hit two points.

"Strike." O'Neal applauded.

"Strike." Smith agreed with him this round.

"This is a good idea. The old gun's head is easy to use." Barkley was full of praise. "He stays in the Logo area. Meng Hua has no way to prevent him completely. Ayton comes up to pick and roll. If Meng Hua doesn't chase, Paul will go straight to the inside or make a jumper. Logo area, I can’t come back at all.”

Paul did think so, and he did break the Lakers' double-team.
