NBA: Destroying Irving in the opening field

Chapter 60 The Upper Cousin

Finally, Cousins ​​couldn't stand the whole game and was willing to be a green leaf.

After his fifth catch in the low post, he decided he had to hit one!
In this round, Cousins ​​actually gave up the strategy of asking for the ball in the low post, but went directly outside the three-point line.

He stretched out his right hand and made a special gesture. The other players of the Pelicans immediately reacted and began to move according to the tactics.

This tactic is a relatively seldom-played tactic. The center is the pivot and "deals" at the top of the arc, while other players use various crossover positions to create opportunities.

Cousins ​​has a certain level of organization and can be used as a dealer.But the Pelicans are limited by the lineup. Except for Davis, their off-ball ability is not strong, so they rarely play this tactic.

However, since Cousins ​​yelled, everyone started running silently.

About five seconds passed, and while the Pelicans were still running hard, Cousins ​​moved!
He no longer waits for the opening to appear, but chooses to play singles with the ball.

A center, playing singles with the ball outside the three-point line!
That is to say, Cousins, he does have good dribbling ability. If other centers make this choice (such as the little shark in the past-Bynum), the coach will put him on the bench in the next round to reflect. .

It was too late to say it, Cousins ​​stepped forward with his right foot, and made a change of direction while dropping the ball.

The whole set of movements is done in one go, and the fluency is exactly the same as that of a defender.

"Beautiful! Is this the strength of an all-star center? The basic skills are too solid!" Ke Fan sighed.

Lopez's footsteps were not fast. Just as he was about to move sideways to defend, the opponent changed direction and was staggered directly.

Cousins ​​succeeded with one move and immediately accelerated to the basket.

Wang Hao has been watching Cousins' movements, and immediately rushed to defend from the side.

In this way, Holiday, who was facing him, was completely emptied.

At this time, it is the best choice to distribute the ball to open teammates outside the three-point line.

It's not impossible if you choose to fight hard, but there is a certain probability that you will be interfered by Wang Hao who is helping to defend.

However, Cousins ​​played too depressingly in this game!He desperately wanted a chance to break the silence.

So, in the blink of an eye, sensibility overcame rationality, and Cousins ​​decided to end it by himself!
In order to prevent being intercepted by Wang Hao's ghostly hand, he threw the ball with his right hand, preparing to finish it with a posture of raising fire to the sky.

However.
"Snapped!"

The familiar voice sounded again.

It was the crisp sound of cutting the ball again.

The moment Cousins ​​lifted the ball, Wang Hao stretched out his right hand, and Death swung the sickle again, snatching the ball away.

For a moment, some Pelicans fans on the scene hugged the back of their heads.

Wang Hao's steal has cast a shadow over them.

Every time they were looking forward to the wonderful performance of the players of the home team, Wang Hao would rush out and pour a basin of cold water on them.

This game was intercepted by the same person three times. If it is an ordinary person, his mentality may have collapsed.

But Cousins ​​is different. Until now, he was more angry and dissatisfied.
He frantically chased down Wang Hao, not giving him an easy chance to fight back.

Wang Hao didn't force it, and passed the ball to Kuzma, who was feeling hot in this section.

The latter hit a three-pointer again.

80: 75!

The Lakers lead by five points, which is also the biggest lead the Lakers have achieved since the start of the game.

When returning to defense, Wang Hao encouraged his teammates:

"Continue, expand the advantage now, the fourth quarter will be easy!"

The Lakers nodded one after another, and the team's momentum rose significantly.

This scene made Walton on the coaching bench and assistant coach Brian Shaw shine.

"This Wang Hao actually has good leadership skills." Brian Xiao smiled openly.

This ability is very rare.

There are many kinds of leadership, such as Kobe’s high standards and strict requirements. He is not only strict with himself, but also strict with others; another example is James, who can laugh and mingle with his teammates, but he is domineering on the court.

But such players are a minority after all.

Most players, he has outstanding talent and trains hard, but he doesn't have a lot of influence on the court, such as Ingram, or the Timberwolves' mouth brother-Wiggins.

And a championship team must have a leader with great leadership.

What Wang Hao is showing now is the seeds of a leader.

At the same time, Cousins, who failed to help the team defend the fast break, raised his hand to apologize.

But the teammates could still tell from his eyes that he was still not convinced!
Sure enough, in the offensive round of the Pelicans, as soon as the ball came into his hands, he immediately entered a singles state.

Cousins ​​just wants to score one now!
Commonly known as the top.

On the coaching bench of the Pelicans, Gentry is ready to make a substitution, and just waiting for a dead ball, he will let Cousins ​​end calmly.

Cousins ​​probably knows this too.

Then it is even more impossible for him to pass this round.

Just when Cousins ​​was ruthless and used "Bull Rush" to push into the penalty area, the man appeared again.

"Snapped!"

History repeats itself.

The basketball in Cousins' arms was cut cleanly again.

"Snapped!"

This sound was an initial foul that Cousins ​​​​voluntarily applied to end the game.

Moreover, since the number of fouls has reached the bonus, Wang Hao went directly to the free throw line.

Until then, Cousins ​​woke up like a dream, realized that he had lost his mind just now, and walked directly to the sidelines, waiting to be replaced.
