NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 241 No way?Let Meng Hua defend Varan!
We are the home court, we didn't shout cheers, what are you shouting?
Soon someone reacted to Thalia's "irrational" behavior. A fat fan imitated Thalia's tone and shouted: "The Lakers add water, Meng Hua dies."

The people around burst into laughter.

Meng Hua heard Talia's voice, and when he walked to the midfield, he turned his head to check Talia's position.

The fat man thought that Meng Hua's glaring at him was even more exciting, and said provocatively: "Meng Dog, let me hear you."

The audience laughed again and applauded his behavior one after another. They were even more excited when Fatty was taken so seriously.

In order to protect the thick eyebrows with two fouls on his back, Vogel replaced him with Monk.

In this way, the inside line is not restrained by thick eyebrows, and the burden of offense falls on James and Westbrook.

The three-pointers of Meng Hua, Monk and Rivers are good, but the three are not the starting point of the offense.

Meng Hua and Monk can also secretly hold the ball for a few rounds while the opponent is not paying attention. Rivers basically has no ability to hold the ball.

The Lakers have elite-level ball handlers like James and Westbrook, and they don't need the ball-handling skills of others.

James faced Ingram with the ball, and just after two dribbles, Meng Hua rushed over to cover him.

The Pelicans resolutely switch defenses, Hayes has good mobility, and is not very afraid of James' misplacement, not to mention Varan inside.

James shook twice, but did not shake Hayes.

Meng Hua saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly came over to cover James again, defending his Ingram, all his attention was on James, Meng Hua made a fake move and ran back, and soon received a precise pass from James.

Meng Hua bent his knees, kicked the ground, raised his arms in the air, and moved the ball with his fingers, resolutely shooting.

As soon as he took the shot, he felt that he had it, and the ball really went in.

awesome!

It's been almost a month, it's his first touch with the ball, and he's done it right away.

Previously, in order to cultivate the feeling of pick-and-roll, he did not know how many times he secretly practiced first, and then he practiced with James who had no time.

It is these invisible contributions that get a hollow three-pointer.

"Good shot." Thalia roared excitedly.

"Trash." Another voice followed.

Meng Hua knew it was the fat man, so he chose to bear it and didn't look at the audience in the front row, even though he knew that Thalia must be bright and charming at this moment.

Since Vogel sent Monk up, it was obvious that he was going to fight the dead five. I don't know if it was a lack of communication or other reasons. In short, on the defensive end, James did not go to match up with Varan.

Facing Monk's defense, Varan turned around after receiving the ball, barely took off, and easily hit two points.

After scoring 9 points in a row, Varan stopped keeping a low profile and opened his arms to signal the audience to cheer for him.

There was already bursts of applause in the stadium without his signal.

The Lakers sent the baseline ball, and James was very dissatisfied with Monk's defense, pulling him to talk non-stop.

Monk nodded again and again, but his eyes were very confused, and he didn't know if he listened.

Only James is over 2 meters tall, Varan is at least 210, and has a weight advantage. It is difficult for James to guard him.

Even the thick eyebrows were slapped down by him, how could anyone be able to guard him firmly.

James glanced at the coach off the court, seeing that the coach was calm, he had no choice but to dribble the ball across halftime.

Since you can't hold it, then attack to gain momentum.

James held the ball at the top of the arc and called Monk.

Monk first picks and then rolls down the inside line at high speed, receives a pass from James, grabs the shot before Ingram blocks the shot, and makes a layup.

This ball is very beautiful, and the Lakers' bench is very excited.

James gritted his teeth, it seems that he must attack and defend on his shoulders. The Pelicans will definitely beat Varan, so they can only defend by themselves.

Walking to the midfield, Vogel gestured and said, "LeBron, let Meng Hua go."

James originally intended to save energy, and after hearing what Vogel said, he quickly conveyed Vogel's instructions to Meng Hua.

He has confidence in Meng Hua's defense, but it is only limited to the outside line.

Although Meng Hua once beat Antetokounmpo hard when he was playing against the Bucks, since it only appeared once, he prefers to understand that Antetokounmpo did not perform well in that game.

The Pelicans don't care whether Meng Hua has played Antetokounmpo or not, Varan played strongly, and the Lakers are not yet in World of Warcraft. They can't wait to hand over all the balls to Varan.

With thick eyebrows off the field, Varan easily made one. He thought the Lakers would replace James to guard him, but when he saw Meng Hua behind him, he grinned sneerly.

He kind of understood why the Lakers ranked tenth, it must be the head coach.

On the court, each player will also form his troops in his heart. What they are most afraid of and what they are least afraid of, they know best.

Varan certainly disdains Vogel's act of digging his own grave.

It's really easy to be a head coach, just like that, and he even won a championship.

O'Neal, who saw the shortcomings of the Lakers' lineup at a glance, said with a smile: "James's physical strength can only be efficiently played for 30 minutes a game. If you want him to take care of both offensive and defensive ends, it will be shortened to 20 minutes. Vogel is drinking poison to quench his thirst."

When it came to the frontcourt of the Pelicans, the two teams showed off their chariots.

O'Neill exclaimed: "Wow, no way? Let Meng Hua defend Varan!"

Barkley said with a smile: "The difference between the two is 20 centimeters, and the weight difference is even 3 levels. Do you think he can guard against it?"

Smith said: "The Lakers have no other way. Let Meng Hua take the lead for one or two rounds. As long as the score does not open, there is no other way."

Varan released the ball, tested his back, leaned against Meng Hua, and hit it hard. He quickly felt a surge of rebounding force.

Meng Hua's A-level lower body strength and low center of gravity made him look like a stocky insider with flexible and steady footwork, firmly blocking Varan's path.

Varan changed direction, ready to hit two more shots, then turned around and shot after one shot, it didn't matter if he didn't get in, he was tall, and he could shoot Meng Hua to death casually.

The head coach once said he was Dirk Valanciunas, not just talking nonsense to encourage him, his shooting touch is really good.

Just as he changed hands, Meng Hua behind him took a step back, avoiding physical contact, crossed his feet, and pounced on his dribbler like a ghost.

Normally, Meng Hua would not choose this kind of gamble steal. This ball was still considered a gamble steal by others, but he was very confident.

His agility is much better than Varan, and it is impossible for Varan to react to this ball.

Snapped!
He steals the ball cleanly and collects the ball along the way to prevent Varane from counter-breaking.

Varan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect to be intercepted, and the matter had come to this point, so he had to retreat back to defend depressedly.

Meng Hua passed to Westbrook, the fast break opportunity was lost, and he walked slowly through the half court.

Blindly fast is not enough, nor is slow, you have to constantly change the speed, change the rhythm, body skills and routines, so that the enemy can't figure out what you want to do.

O'Neal proudly said: "My big brother is still up to the challenge. The ball was broken beautifully. It seems that I misunderstood Vogel a little. He is not useless. It is very bold and bold for Meng Hua to defend like this."
