NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 100 Westbrook's Eye Defense

James at the basket turned around to catch the ball from the baseline.

He didn't notice Meng Hua's resistance. This little brother has always been obedient, and he didn't expect him to complain.

Even if he complained, as the leader of the team, he couldn't apologize. What's more, from his point of view, it was indeed Meng Hua who didn't block Durant, which allowed him to rush inside and make a tip-up.

James pushed the ball all the way, amidst the cheers and cheers of the fans, the stadium floor was as smooth as the tender skin of stars on the sidelines.

He has assisted many times, but scored a little less, it is time for him to stand up and score.

He was a face-up first, and he was dribbling, and he turned into a back-hitting Clarkston.

The onlookers knew that the ball had lost its rhythm, but he himself didn't think so.

Turn over and hit the iron with a jumper.

You must hit the iron, you must poke your fingers into the iron wall, and the star will believe that his choice is wrong.

James is not only a star, but also a superstar, so he doesn't need to hit the iron, the moment the ball leaves his finger, he knows it's wrong.

He also learned from Durant, bypassing defensive players, rushing inside to grab rebounds.

His judgment on the landing point is also quite accurate.

Just as he was about to take off, a wall lay in front of him.

Although the wall was not thick, it came so suddenly that he couldn't get over it all at once, so he had to watch helplessly as the ball was taken by the defender.

It was Durant who blocked him, and he predicted James' actions.

He just used it just now. It is his patent. James has not applied for it. How can he use it?

Successfully stuck James, Durant gave him a meaningful look, his eyes seemed to say: "You should retire, with me here, you don't want to win the championship again."

James wanted to get mad, but Durant was a star at his level after all, so he rushed to beat him up. Although he could win, he would definitely be expelled from the game, so he had to grit his teeth and hold back.

Back at halftime, he silently stood in front of Durant.

Meng Hua understood and ran to defend Clarkston. He wished James would defend Durant.

Defending the opponent's arrows is a hard job, and the boss wants to do the dirty work, so he can't ask for it.

Durant was also overjoyed to see James defending him.

Both of them are the proud sons of heaven, both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

James' achievements and reputation are all above him. They belong to the east and the west. There are not many opportunities to play against each other, and direct matchups are even more precious.

He wants to prove that he is better than James, and defeating him in a direct matchup is the best persuasion.

Durant geared up, squeezed his back against James, feinted, and passed to Harden.

When the ball arrived, he turned into light and shadow and ran to Harden.

After all, he is the eldest brother. Although Harden had some opinions just now, he still passed the ball immediately.

Durant received the ball and opened his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

James rushed to the horse, bypassed Harden's fat buttocks, and rushed towards Du Xiaoshuai.

Another ten centimeters taller, he might be able to reach it.

But now, he can only watch the ball fly to the net bag.

Durant grinned, spread his hands, shrugged, and didn't even get the best defensive player, can you guard me?
He knew that James would definitely notice this and be stimulated.

He wasn't the one defending James anyway, so he didn't care.

Besides, it was James who switched defenses and took the initiative to compete with him. He just released this level of emotion, which is already very face-saving.

Irving retreated, and when he passed by James, he pointed in his direction and said lightly: "We still have to play the best defensive player."

James was stunned and wanted to answer, but Owen didn't look at him, so he had to give up.

The two were in the Cavaliers, worked together, and won championships.

It stands to reason that the relationship should be good, but it almost broke down.

Many things are just amazing.

James' eyes were spitting fire, he was furious, and asked for the ball inside.

Westbrook trembled, passed the ball to the boss, and then pulled to wait outside the three-point line.

He doesn't have the ball in his hands, doesn't have a lot of possessions, he doesn't know how to play, and his three-point shooting is getting worse and worse. He has been trying to adjust to playing off the ball, but the effect is not good.

Almost every Lakers trade rumor has him in it.

James didn't pass the ball back to Westbrook. After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed Clarkston. Near the baseline, he took a bully step, took three hard steps, and smashed the ball into the basket.

After landing firmly, James beat his chest and stomped his feet, glaring at Owen.

To this little brother, he released as much kindness as possible, but he was still disappointed.

That being the case, let's hurt each other.

Owen was annoyed and glared back at him.

For this big brother, he was patient to the extreme.

Without him, Ou Shenxian, would he have won the championship?

Why is he an FMVP and he has nothing, he doesn't want to live in his shadow.

Owen took the ball, rushed left and right, and his fake moves were dazzling.

In fact, most of the movements are useless, but he needs this rhythm.

Because while doing these actions, his touch can soar.

Westbrook was so shaken that he couldn't find the north, so he simply gave up defending.

When he played for the Thunder with Harden, the two young people often learned from each other. His defensive eyes are no worse than Harden's.

Therefore, Westbrook's eyes watched Irving score two points for a layup.

Vogel immediately called a timeout, looking at Westbrook sharply.

But when Westbrook was off the court, his eyes moved away again.

He was very dissatisfied with Westbrook's defense, but if he hadn't been forced to rush, he would not have the courage to break openly with Westbrook.

Without thick eyebrows, and then falling out with Westbrook, who else can the Lakers use?

In the previous games, he called a timeout many times when Westbrook was defending with his eyes, hoping to wake up Westbrook.

Normally, if the head coach calls a timeout after a certain round, it must be because he is not satisfied with this round.

In this round, Irving had such a crisp life, he hoped Westbrook could understand what he meant.

There are many things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. If they are spoken out publicly, it will be irreversible, but Vogel does not want to do this yet.

Westbrook's eyes are like rain, fog and wind.

Vogel couldn't see through it at all.

In view of the importance of the game, Vogel said: "Irving has a lot of fake moves. It is normal for us to be passed. After being passed, we will continue to chase behind him. This can put pressure on him, and at the same time, it can also create opportunities for the players who defend behind him."

Westbrook nodded: "Yes."

Do you really understand?Vogel said to Tucker again: "Harden is the engine of the Nets, but Durant doesn't need an engine at all. You defend him and try not to let him score. As for passing, let him."

Tucker also nodded, full of confidence, because Harden's performance was very average.

"LeBron, you play more, the score is 8 points behind, but Durant can't always have such a touch. We played well offensively. Be patient and don't worry."

Meng Hua thought Vogel would praise him, but unfortunately he didn't.

Strange to say, he defended Durant and missed again and again, but he was never broken through, and he felt good about himself.
