NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 324
Paul had an ominous premonition, so he acted like a big brother, called Booker, and told him what to do.

After Meng Hua switched to defending Booker, the Suns also used Booker to defend him. The two faced each other directly on offense and defense. Of course, Paul hoped that Booker could put enough pressure on Meng Hua on the defensive end.

Booker said that offense is the best defense, and I will kill him.

Seeing that he misinterpreted his meaning, Paul couldn't say it anymore. If Booker can really kill him, he will win the game. The question is can he kill him?
Although not optimistic, Paul still passed the ball to Booker, which is a recognition of his offensive ability.

In terms of offense alone, Booker is indeed stronger.

Booker caught the ball and took out the routine of beating Rivers to attack Meng Hua. The ball was almost stolen after only two dribbles, and he was so scared that he quickly collected the ball.

That's what changing tempos and defenders do.

Booker has adapted to Rivers' wingspan and defensive spacing, and faced Meng Hua's more oppressive defense, he was a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Of course, the two have faced each other before, but it has been three days since the last match, and the muscles and heads have to re-adapt.

It only took a dozen seconds for Booker to pass the ball in a hurry from being full of confidence to not adapting to the defense.

Talk about it, Paul finished cursing secretly, and then passed the ball to Booker, it really doesn't work, you can throw a three-pointer.

Booker thought the same way, and immediately broke his own record.

Total career strikes.

Paul is not afraid of Booker hitting the iron. What he is afraid of is that Booker's defense is not strong enough.

Paul's worry was a bit unnecessary, Booker was very active, and Meng Hua just passed halftime, he stuck to him like a mad dog, causing interference as much as possible, preventing him from receiving the ball comfortably.

He is the boss of the Suns. Although his defensive strength is mediocre, he has absolutely no problem with his attitude.

The Jazz's three-time DPOY Gobert once used Booker to run against Mitchell.

After a game, he said: "Booker has always been proud of defense. He will try to limit the opponent as much as possible on the defensive end, and this has become part of their victory."

Although he didn't name his name, Mitchell knew he was talking about him. The relationship between the two main generals is so "good", it's no wonder that the Jazz couldn't get out of the West.

Since the defensive champion Gobert has praised Booker, and his defensive strength is mediocre, it is naturally his attitude that is praised.

Sometimes, attitude alone may not be useful.

The pick and roll of Monk and James seemed to activate Meng Hua.

The Lakers attacked. As soon as James reached the top of the arc, Meng Hua couldn't wait and ran towards him.

Seeing Meng Hua running towards James, Monk obediently opened up space in the other direction.

He has just scored a three-pointer, and he is feeling hot. The pick-and-roll with James is also the team's offensive routine, but he still has no objection to this ball.

Seeing Meng Hua running towards James, he was still very happy.

All this is because he has not won against Meng Hua in the team's three-point competition.

Meng Hua is more accurate than him in three-pointers, and he can dismantle them faster than him. What can he say?
Strength is king.

Meng Hua didn't know that Monk still had so many mental activities. He just felt good and wanted to shoot this three-pointer.

One pick and one roll, another turn around fake, and then continue to run.

Meng Hua completely shook off Booker, received a pass from James, and made a jumper at the speed of light.

The ball was thrown flat and hit the neck of the back basket.

Bang!
Quickly rebound into the net.

Meng Hua scored a three-pointer.

Meng Hua made a clasping gesture, and then made a flying gesture. He wanted to fly very high and far.

The Lakers scored two three-pointers in a row, leading by one point in a single quarter, and the total score was only two points away. The Suns began to panic.

Paul took the ball and raised his hand to signal his teammates not to panic.

If he is a super scorer, he can boost the morale of his teammates with unsolvable scoring.

But he is an assist player, which requires someone to stand up and cooperate with him, so he alone can't be chaotic.

This may be the reason why it is difficult for the point guard to win the championship as the team's No.1.

The Pistons' Thomas and the Lakers' Magician once led the team to win the championship, but their team is more like a number of average stars.

After halftime, Paul directed Bridges to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Covering by Bridges, the quality is very good.

The Lakers were forced to switch defenses, Bridges cut outside, and when Rivers flew in, he had already made a three-pointer.

The goal was scored, and a penalty was added. Bridges hit a three plus one.

The Lakers attacked, and Meng Hua continued to play the pick-and-roll. This time James did not pass the ball to him and chose to break through the basket.

Combining throwing and attacking, the enemy will only care about one thing and lose another.

The Lakers scored two three-pointers in a row, and the Suns' defense was extremely tense, and they expanded greatly.

James rode and shot an arrow, easily hit two points, and won an extra penalty.

This is James' experience and golf quotient. He can quickly read the opponent's defense and choose the most reasonable offensive method.

This kind of ability, no matter how we practice Westbrook, we will not surpass him. Everything requires talent, especially when you are on top of the world.

Hard training, from a rookie to a king, is very inspirational, but in the end it is just chicken soup.

Jordan is 198cm tall, this is talent, it is God's reward.

Let him try to be 25 centimeters shorter, then become his brother Larry Jordan, and see if he can play in the NBA.

Even if he can, let's see if he can win six championships.

Without talent, hard work is useless.

Or Jordan's example. He retired to play baseball. With his competitive spirit, he must have worked hard. Why don't you see him as awesome?

Obviously, basketball talent doesn't work in baseball.

When you know that if you train hard, you might be able to, or at least come close to winning, a lot of people will train hard.

Not just Jordan, James, and Meng Hua.

On the court, James steadily hit free throws, and the two teams tied again in a single quarter.

Vogel's face was not very good-looking. He sacrificed the death five in advance. Although the points were recovered, it was not enough.

Without defeating the Suns, it will be difficult to beat the fourth quarter.

Statistics show that when the Suns lead into the fourth quarter this season, they have not lost.

This shows that they have a super brain and are very good at playing four quarters.

Next, the two sides struck iron frequently.

The wing strikes the iron, the center strikes the iron, and the ball handler also strikes the iron.

Everyone took a turn, except Meng Hua.

The man in good form has never had an offensive opportunity since he grabbed Monk's running position and cooperated with James to score a three-pointer in the pick-and-roll.

Several times he ran out of opportunities and reached out for the ball, but James still chose to go it alone.

Some balls he can hit, and some get fouled, which is quite lethal.

If Meng Hua didn't have the feeling that he must hit a three-pointer, he would think that James was right to play like this.

But it was obviously the Fifth Elementary School of Death, and it was clear that they had to rely on three points for food, and they continued to fight like this, Meng Hua felt a little suspicious.

If Westbrook was on the court, he would definitely pass to me, even though he didn't pass the ball very well.

Meng Hua couldn't help looking at Westbrook on the sidelines, missing him a bit.

With one goal, James struggled to perform a dream dance under the basket and succeeded in dunking.

Meng Hua was not very happy.

I was emptied of the ball at the three-point line, and it was a three-pointer if it was passed to me. Why should I play like this?

This is his idea, how does James know that he will score a three-pointer?
When a person thinks he can score any goal, he will definitely complain that his teammates don't give the ball.

It has nothing to do with whether James has the ball or not.
