NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 14 Bridges as Background Board

The game enters an official timeout.

Suns head coach Monty Williams glanced at Booker and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Booker played well, saying what he was doing defensively.

Offense is the best defense.

On the Lakers side, Vogel said, I have nothing to say, if you don't discuss tactics, just watch the cheerleading performance.

After the timeout, both sides replaced the main players, except Meng Hua.

Paul said to Booker: "Devin, let Mikaal defend the rookie, you'd better deal with James."

Meng Hua felt very tired, but he continued to ask for the ball.

So far, he's shot 100% in singles and there's no reason not to continue.

The experience card is only 10 minutes. He must seize this time and make more contributions to the team.

The main players of the Lakers are the same as the substitutes. Everyone stands on the weak side and quietly watches Meng Hua play singles.

Meng Hua held the ball, and the defender in front of him became Bridges.

The solar energy occupies the first place in the west, which has a lot to do with their defense.

In their defensive system, the two forwards Bridges and Crowder are crucial.

The Suns' starting five have made great contributions on the court.

Paul, Booker and Ayton are considered the three cores, and the striker Shuangsha is not much better than them.

This is the team with the closest starting contributions.

There are still good players on the bench.

Shamet with infinite range;

Playing with his brain, the elegant and agile Payne;

Johnson, the defensive champion trained in the team;
Even the five big jiong McGee shone brightly under the sun.

In NBA games, players are often changed to defend the opponent's hot players.

But in a game, it is still relatively rare to replace three defensive players.

In half a game, changing three players to defend a rookie is unique.

Seeing that Booker didn't defend Meng Hua, the friend next to Jenna muttered, "Isn't German good?"

Jenna said angrily, "Why don't you come?"

On the court, Bridges put himself in a good position, waiting for Meng Hua to attack.

He is looking forward to it, this is not the first time, he is responsible for defending the opponent's sharp knife.

In his eyes, there are only two kinds of attackers, those who can be defended and those who cannot.

As for whether he is Jordan, Bryant or Curry, Durant, or a no-name rookie, that's all the same.

Meng Hua dribbled the ball under the crotch, crossed the ball and then dribbled the ball behind his back, exerting force and releasing force, extremely coquettish.

At his level, no one is pressing, and he plays these tricks very smoothly, and he doesn't seem to have to look at the ball.

But once someone presses up and grabs, his dribbling skills are not enough at all.

To achieve the unity of man and ball, he is still far away.

Paul, who was the first to face him, did it.

People's eyes have been observing the defenders, finding the opponent's flaws, and then rushing to bite.

Bridges is not Paul, and he was still a little tricked by him, thinking that he was good at dribbling, and he didn't dare to get too close.

He just kept marking James and didn't pay much attention to Meng Hua's situation.

Meng Hua was running, suddenly sank his waist, and jumped to the right.

Bridges quickly stepped to the left, worthy of being a defensive champion, Meng Hua's lateral movement did not leave much space.

Seeing that Bridges had long-handed defenses against him, he would not let him make a move.

Meng Hua dribbled the ball at ease, and crossed to the left to change direction.

Bridges immediately shifted his weight to his right foot.

Meng Hua didn't care about him at all, he just carried his own, and going to the right was another big change of direction.

Bridges continued to adjust his focus.

When Meng Hua received the ball, he had to turn left and make a fadeaway jumper.

He turned around and was about to jump.

What about people?

Pfft!
Bridges continuously adjusted his center of gravity and fell down.

According to Meng Hua's strength, if he observes Bridges' response and then adjusts the dribbling rhythm, he will definitely not be able to overwhelm Bridges.

But he didn't look at the opponent's reaction at all, he was lucky, and after a few shots, he wanted to shoot a fallback jumper.

Unexpectedly, Bridges was also very nervous, treating him as a master.

Looking high at the opponent, he put himself on the floor.

Young people, you can't underestimate your opponent, but you can't overestimate either!

There was no one three meters in front of him, Meng Hua was stunned for a moment, then turned around in ecstasy and stopped abruptly.

When he came to his senses, it was no longer a continuous movement.

How to do?
He had to turn right again, and then shot a fadeaway jumper.

Swish!
Continue to hollow into the net.

Bridges fell down, and the Suns players thought he was going to shoot, but he didn't expect him to continue.

This time, veteran Paul quit.

People are knocked down by you, and you deliberately turn in front of him to make a jump shot. Is there such a thing as insulting?
Paul stepped forward and pushed Meng Hua angrily.

Seeing that his younger brother was being bullied, Westbrook arrived immediately and pushed Paul back.

James grabbed Paul and kept telling him to calm down.

Off the court, Rondo moved his butt, put down his legs, and said to himself, "Hit him, LeBron grabbed him, so why don't you beat him hard."

Meng Hua spread out his hands, saying that he didn't do it on purpose.

Paul was still chattering, but the banana boat brothers were so strong that he couldn't break free.

Bridges got up and grabbed Paul, who wasn't too angry himself.

As a defensive vanguard, when the background board is doomed, everyone has this kind of embarrassment.

George's defense is top-notch, and he is also a frequent visitor to the background board.

Fans will not remember 100 successful defenses; once a failure is reduced to a background board, everyone knows it.

Meng Hua also waved his hand towards Bridges, implying that he didn't mean it.

He can't help it, it's all because of the experience card.

TNT Studios, Big Mouth Barkley quit.

Bridges fell to the ground, Meng Hua just turned around, and he said: "You can't do this, everyone is a player, you have to learn to respect others."

Paul pushed Meng Hua angrily, and he said: "The current players are too gentle, this should be solved with fists."

O'Neill smiled and said, "Are you playing basketball or people?"

Seeing Bridges holding Paul, Barkley exaggeratedly exclaimed: "Oh my god, I'm not angry at all. This should give the opponent a hug."

He said while making hugging movements.

O'Neal was so scared that he stood up and ran out of the studio.

Barkley laughed.

O'Neal sat down again and cleared his throat: "Charles, I bet my brother will play more than 10 minutes."

Barkley repeated the old tune and talked about defensive issues.

O'Neal pointed to the statistics: "He was on the court, and the Lakers recovered 5 points."

"If Bradley is used to defend Paul, maybe he will overtake him."

This is the case with sunspots, no matter how well you do it, they can always find strange reasons.

For a legendary superstar like Barkley, thinking about Hei Menghua is too simple.

Magnesium country fans also quickly divided into two groups, different from the domestic fans, most of them are sunspots.

The player was a little impulsive, but it subsided quickly.

The Lakers were gradually gaining momentum, and Vogel did not call a timeout.

Williams did not call a timeout, he believed in Paul's self-adjustment ability.
