NBA: Destroying Irving in the opening field

Chapter 13 Little Rivers collapses: This man is simply a bandit!
Wharton continued to mobilize troops.

Wang Hao, who performed well on the defensive end before, was also replaced by Brother Qiu to rest.

In fact, during this period of time, Wang Hao also played a bit aggrieved.

On the one hand, he really doesn't have the ability to organize offenses on the offensive end.

Except for the invincible open three-pointer, Wang Hao has no other use for the time being.

However, there is no player on the field who can deliver shells for him!
Therefore, he can only "smoke" in the bottom corner every round, quietly watching his teammates strike iron.

"After this game, we must first learn a skill to attack independently." Wang Hao made up his mind: "But this time, we may have to rely on the neutral position when defending and counterattacking."

At this time, the game has come to the fourth quarter, and there are only 5 minutes left before the end of the game.

Since Ingram was injured and Wang Hao took a rest, the Clippers quickly regained the lead.

The ball brother who had high hopes continued to perform poorly after his debut again.

He made 13 of 1 shots, including 6 of 0 three-pointers. His performance can be described as "disaster".

Beverly is also a bad guy to the end, taking advantage of Qiu Ge's sluggish performance, talking nonsense.

In the end, the referee couldn't stand it anymore and expelled him directly.

Fortunately, this year's No. 27 rookie Kuzma took over the banner of offense.

He currently has 12 points, including 8 points in the fourth quarter, which did not allow the Clippers to widen the point difference too far.

ESPN commentator A-Smith commented:

"The Lakers' game can be described as a mixed blessing."

"Happily, there are two rookies who are not optimistic-Wang Hao and Kuzma, one defense and one offense, it is amazing."

"Worrying Lonzo Ball - the No. [-] pick that many Lakers fans give high hopes to, the current performance is a disaster."

"Now the game is coming to an end. Although the Lakers are not far behind, they have nothing to do with the Clippers. If this continues, it will be a slow death."

"I think the Lakers still need to start with defense. I don't know if Wang Hao, who performed well on the defensive end in the third quarter, will still play."

At the same time, Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw had the same idea. He turned to Walton and suggested:
"Now on the offensive end, with Ball's organization and Kuzma's end, the scoring is fairly stable, but on the defensive end, there is nothing to do with Little Rivers. Why don't you try Wang Hao?"

Wharton nodded, and turned his gaze to the depths of the bench again: "Wang Hao, get ready. When you go up to guard Little Rivers, there is only one request - guard him to death!"

"Understood, coach." Wang Hao nodded in response.

He took off his training clothes, stood up, and walked to the technical table.

Following an offensive foul by the Lakers, the field entered a dead ball state, and Wang Hao replaced Luol Deng on the field.

Now there are only 3 minutes left in the game, and the Lakers are 6 points behind.

After Wang Hao came on the field, he walked directly in front of Little Rivers, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to defend.

Rivers Jr. is a combo guard who is good at offense and has excellent physical fitness.

The organizational ability is very average, but the speed is fast and the athletic ability is good. They are two completely different styles from Lu Wei.

"Rookie, I'm not Lu Wei, don't expect to be able to defend me with physical advantages. I eat you alone as easy as eating donuts." Little Rivers spat trash talk skillfully.

Naturally, Wang Hao didn't bother to pay attention to his uninspired trash talk.

Lou Williams just now is at least at the level of the best sixth man, and this buddy is also at the level of an ordinary NBA substitute.

The others who bullied the Lakers just now didn't defend well, and after scoring a few points, they drifted away.

　
The game continued, and after a few passes, the ball came to Rivers Jr.

Little Rivers had hit consecutive shots before and was full of confidence. At this moment, he signaled his teammates to pull away and chose to singles Wang Hao.

Lu Wei was watching from the sidelines, and he naturally hoped that some teammates could help him get back on the field.

But based on Wang Hao's defensive level before, Lu Wei always had an ominous premonition in his heart.

It was his hunch as a veteran.

Wang Hao's sense of oppression when defending made him worry about Little Rivers.

Rivers Jr. naturally didn't know Lou Wei's worries.

Facing Wang Hao, who is 1 meters high, he has a speed advantage.

Therefore, after a few tentative dribbles, Rivers Jr. saw the right time, and after a feint, he accelerated to attack Wang Hao's right side.

"boom!"

Little Rivers slammed into Wang Hao's chest firmly.

"He actually kept up?!" Little Rivers was startled.

But instead of stopping the ball, he took a step back, took a crotch dribble to open up space, and then made a sharp change to the right side where he wanted to allow Wang Hao to cut.

"boom!"

Little Rivers hit Wang Hao's chest firmly again.

"how is this possible?!"

The Asian undrafted pick in front of him is obviously not fast, but he can always predict what he will do next, and then move laterally in advance to defend.

In fact, this is the credit of [Death Coil].

The effect of [Death Coil] is not only a certain chance to steal the opponent.

In fact, it can also improve the owner in terms of reaction, speed, and anticipation.

In other words, Wang Hao now has the NBA's top individual defensive ability.

Of course, Wang Hao's current body is not as strong as Leonard's.

This prevents him from showing 100% of the strength of this skill, but it is more than enough to deal with players of Rivers Jr.'s level.

After Rivers Jr. was forced to stop again, he chose to turn around and make a backward shot.

Wang Hao has sharp eyes and quick hands. He took a step forward and stretched out his right hand, trying to block the shot.

"Bang~"

Although it was not covered, Rivers Jr.'s shooting itself was not very stable, and if it was disturbed, he would naturally not be able to complete the goal.

The Lakers took the defensive rebound.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

"Perfect defense! Wang Hao! His defense is precise, clean, but extremely aggressive! He is simply the Leonard of the guard!" A-Smith praised.

The Lakers fight back!

Many scouts have said: "Lonzo Ball in the fast break is unstoppable."

I saw Brother Qiu used a "quarterback pass" similar to a football game, and passed the ball directly from his own half to Kuzma, who was about to go down to the Clippers' half.

This is a pass across the field!

Kuzma made an easy layup and scored two points.

The entire fast break took less than two seconds from start to finish!

The fans were boiling, as if seeing the dawn of a reversal.

In the Clippers round, Lu Wei organized an offense.

Little Rivers ran quickly, trying to get rid of Wang Hao with the help of his teammates' pick-and-roll.

Wang Hao's speed is not fast, but relying on good defensive awareness to find gaps and squeeze through the pick-and-roll, he did not lose too much position.

Lu Wei passed the ball immediately after seeing a gap,

Little Rivers was about to observe the situation after receiving the ball, when he saw a black shadow approaching him, it was Wang Hao!

I saw him throwing out both hands, the speed of his hands was so fast that Little Rivers had no time to react.

Wang Hao's big hands grabbed the basketball in Little Rivers' hands like two big pliers.

"What?!" Rivers Jr. opened his mouth wide in an instant.

Wang Hao's steal was so fast that he could only make an expression, but his body couldn't react.

Under Little Rivers' stunned gaze, Wang Hao snatched the ball over!
"Death entanglement!!! Wang Hao once again staged a Leonard-like death entanglement!" A-Smith shouted excitedly in the commentary.

Since the steal was completed near the three-point line, after Wang Hao got the ball, there was only Lu Wei, a Clippers player in front of him.

Lu Wei had no choice but to return to the defense quickly, and retreated directly to the free throw line.

Wang Hao was delighted when he saw it.

With his current skill level, unless it is an empty basket for him to dunk, he is really not sure of completing the fast break.

At this time, he was on the three-point line, but Lu Wei had retreated to near the three-second zone.

If you don't vote now, when will you wait?
I saw Wang Hao smiled under the attention of everyone, received the ball, bent his knees, jumped up, and shot~
The basketball arced in a rainbow-like arc through the air.

The arc is so high, from the moment the ball leaves Wang Hao, it only goes through the net, as if a century has passed.

This is Shintaro Midorima's [Super High Trajectory Three Points]!
"Shu~"

The basketball hits the net crisply.

"WOW!!!"

After a second of silence, the Staples Arena erupted into loud cheers, and many fans even stood up excitedly!

"OMG! How can I describe this weird and perfect ultra-high arc three-pointer! This is simply... simply art!" A-Smith fell into madness.

At this moment, the other protagonist of the story—Little Rivers still doesn't know what he will encounter next, but simply feels that he has just been careless.

Hence.
The Clippers attacked and Rivers Jr. got the ball.

"Snapped!"

Wang Hao steals it!

The Clippers attacked and Rivers Jr. got the ball.

"Snapped!"

Wang Hao steals again!

In just 1 minute, Wang Hao completed three steals in a row!
Moreover, after the steal, Wang Hao hit another three-pointer, and another assist for Kuzma to complete a layup.

The audience is boiling! ! !
The commentary is boiling! ! !
The fans watching the game all over the world are boiling! ! !
And the victim Rivers Jr. doubted his life.

"who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"What am I doing?"

I saw him looking at his teammates with a look of asking for help, and then at the team's coaching bench, as if he wanted to find some comfort from the coach or his teammates.

But the coach (Old Rivers, his father) and his teammates seemed to have nothing but puzzlement and doubt on their faces.

"This can't be an actor, right? Why was it stolen so easily?"

In the stands, a Clippers fan complained sullenly.

Little Rivers wants to cry, but if he knows what this fan thinks, he may cry and say, "This Wang Hao is really a bandit! Others focus on 'stealing' the ball in steals, and he is purely 'stealing' the ball!"

After consecutive mistakes, the old Rivers finally couldn't stand it anymore, and quickly called a timeout. At this time, the Clippers were already 6 points behind the Lakers.

After the timeout ended, Wang Hao still stayed on the field.

In fact, now he has used up today's 【Death Coil】.

But what's interesting is that the Clippers players seemed to have been overwhelmed by Wang Hao's terrifying defensive ability, and no one tried to challenge him in the next few minutes.

Wang Hao continued to play the role of [defensive pillar], leading his teammates to complete an excellent defense.

When the defense is successful, Qiu Ge's talent in switching offenses is liberated.

After playing in a mess in the first three quarters, he led the Lakers to play many pleasing fast breaks at the last moment.

In contrast, the most frustrated person in this game is undoubtedly Rivers Jr.

He went smoothly in the third quarter, and he can be said to be the most threatening person for the Clippers in the second half.

But after Wang Hao came on the court, Rivers Jr.'s nightmare began.

After that wave of three consecutive steals, he was afraid of being stealed again, and he quickly passed the ball back to his teammates again after receiving the ball.

Once, twice, three times.
The Clippers, who were the most active offensive core before, were directly defended by Wang Hao and began to doubt his life.

In the end, he had no choice but to squat in the bottom corner desperately and become an invisible person.

As a result, the Clippers' offense was greatly affected, unable to recover, and defeated with hatred.

The final score was fixed at 98:89, and the Lakers won the city derby by 9 points.
