NBA: Destroying Irving in the opening field

Chapter 53

Moore is just a single-function shooter with an average passing level, so his lob passes are high and floating.

Lopez saw the timing and blocked the ball around the front.

The Lakers fight back!

Brother Ball advanced with the ball and passed it to the fast-down Randall, who was about to make a layup with a big stride.

Unexpectedly, Brother Nongmei——Davis descended from the sky, and served him with a chasing hot pot.

The Pelicans regained control of the ball.

When the dribble passed halftime, Cousins ​​​​signed that he would play with Holiday.

As a center, most of the time still needs a good point guard to deliver shells for him.

In the Rockets back then, Yao Ming was a pillar of the basket, but for many years he suffered from no one who could feed him comfortably.

Wang Hao also noticed the changes in the Pelicans.

Holiday held the ball in the high post on the left, and Cousins ​​immediately came to the low post here.

Soon, a precise pass was assigned to the inside.

Holiday took advantage of the trend and ran to the bottom line, trying to bring Wang Hao to the other end of the court, and completely cleared the left side for Cousins ​​to play singles.

Although Wang Hao ran to the bottom line, he kept paying attention to the inside line from the corner of his eye.

Seeing that the space has been opened, Cousins ​​immediately lowered his center of gravity and began to push towards the reasonable collision zone.

Lopez is tall and has long arms, but his strength is not Cousins' opponent. After two hard shoulders, he began to retreat steadily.

Cousins ​​quickly came to the basket.

Seeing that the time was right, he suddenly swayed his left shoulder. Lopez, who was already tired of fighting, still cared about whether it was a fake move at the moment, and immediately moved laterally to the left.

Cousins ​​immediately caught the shift of the opponent's center of gravity, put the ball to the right and turned around. At the same time, he raised his right hand and slightly pushed Lopez's waist.

Such an action will naturally not be called an offensive foul in a reasonable collision zone.

And Lopez had already moved to the left, and then being pushed like this, he had completely given up the position under the basket.

There was no one in front of him, Cousins ​​collected the ball, got up, exploded
Eh?
Why didn't Cousins ​​take off with the ball?
Where's the ball?

In Wang Hao's hand!

"My God, that black shadow flashed just now and cut Cousins' ball away in mid-air. Wang Hao! Brother Hao's steal is as sharp as ever!" Ke Fan said excitedly.

Cousins ​​was intercepted in two consecutive singles. He was already emotional and did not return to defense. Instead, he spread his hands on the spot and complained:
"Why didn't anyone remind me that this kid is coming?"

No one responded. Because the Pelicans have returned to defense.

Wang Hao passed the ball to Brother Qiu after stealing it, and then rushed forward quickly.

Brother Qiu and Yingge quickly played from the middle and left, and the Lakers formed a three-line fast break!

On the Pelicans side, Holiday and Davis retreated in place with two big locks inside and one outside.

The two not only have excellent defensive awareness, but also experienced.

In the case of less defense and more defense, Davis stopped beside Yingge, and with his physical talent, he could return to the defense at any time; Holiday rushed to Wang Hao, who had a three-pointer in the previous two games.

In this way, Brother Qiu has to make a choice between shooting a three-pointer and hitting the inside.

Coincidentally, he was not fully sure of these two items.

But the other players of the Pelicans will soon retreat into place, and the opportunity is fleeting, so Brother Ball had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush to the penalty area.

Davis immediately shrank the inside line, and Ingram also cut in from 45°, ready to respond.

Brother Qiu was afraid of AD's defense, and finally chose to distribute the ball to Ingram who followed up. The iron eagle was fearless, and he jumped directly to attack the frame with thick eyebrows.

Both of them are tall and have long arms. After struggling to take off, they have the feeling of double dragons playing with pearls.

But in the battle of talents, AD still had the upper hand. Although it failed to form a block, it successfully interfered with Yingge's layup.

The ball bounced out of the frame, and Holiday rushed to the penalty area to protect the rebound, but the ball bounced faster, and he stuck out his right hand very chicly in the air, and pushed the ball beyond the three-point line with one hand.

"This pass is so freehand!" Yang Yi exclaimed.

Wang Hao didn't rush to grab the rebound just now, but he caught the pass from Brother Qiu while standing outside the three-point line.

"Shu~"

Hands up and down, three points are credited.

3:0, the Lakers took the lead.

Wang Hao happily pointed to Brother Qiu and thanked him for his wonderful assist.

The offense and defense switched, and the Pelicans launched an offense again.

This time AD came to the free throw line to support him. After failing to find a chance, he faced Randall and pulled the middle distance, and the goal was scored!
Unreasonable giant planet, 3:2.

In just two rounds, Wang Hao has already seen the talent gap between the two teams, but he also saw some weaknesses of the Pelicans.

For example, Cousins ​​​​is emotional, and the shooting guard and small forward positions are very weak.

[It seems that we still have to start with my cousin. ] Wang Hao calculated.

The Lakers attack.

Wang Hao moved along the tactics, but Holiday's defense was very good, and he followed Wang Hao's side without leaving.

"Lonzo, hit one."

Seeing that the tactics couldn't run, Wang Hao shouted to Brother Qiu, who was facing Moore, who was of average height and speed.

Brother Qiu, who was already impulsive in singles, became more determined after hearing Wang Hao's call.

I saw him make a big change of direction, as if he wanted to cross steps to make a breakthrough.

Moore was worried about being passed, so he quickly moved sideways to defend.

Brother Qiu suddenly slammed on his right foot and rebounded backwards. A large but not very chic retreat appeared.

"Ah, isn't this monkey retreating?"

Wang Hao couldn't help laughing from the sidelines. In his previous life, he didn't know how many times he watched Jokic's classic "Monkey retreat.gif" in singles by Qiu Ge

Although this move is ugly, but the rhythm is good.

Moore couldn't react in time, so he could only watch Brother Qiu make a crooked three-pointer.

Basketball hit the net.

With two 3-pointers from the backcourt, the Lakers led by four points.
