NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 254 Activating New Tactics
The next 12 minutes will determine the fate of the team this season.

On the bench, players from both teams were sitting quietly and meditating.

It seems that as long as they think about it, they can be enlightened and defeat their opponents.

Vogel and Green had finished their chicken soup and waited anxiously.

The eyes of the two looked at each other from time to time, for fear that others would come up with some good tricks.

The buzzer sounded, and the players of both sides re-entered the field.

On the Lakers side, Meng Hua and James are resting; Pelicans McCollum and Varan are also resting.

Thick eyebrows played an amazing 4 minutes.

Facing the Pelicans without Varane and the third-year Hayes, he completely lost his superstar demeanor.

Four consecutive offenses failed to score, and there was a charge foul.

Vogel on the sidelines watched and shook his head. Is this still the thick eyebrow that won the championship two years ago?

He is still very young, but he has played on and off for a long time, and injuries have affected his state.

O'Neill couldn't stand it anymore, and twitched his mouth: "Davis is too soft. He has been dodging and playing against Valanciunas the whole game. I have no objection to you dodging and beating the trash Hayes. Do you want to do the same?"

Barkley snorted and sneered: "It's fine if you can score from hiding, but the key is that he missed several attacks in a row."

The topic had nothing to do with Meng Hua, and the studio was much more harmonious. Smith echoed: "The Lakers are too stretched. This seems to be a waste of a year for James."

O'Neal nodded in agreement: "James played a fantastic season, the Lakers don't let him down."

Barkley: "He looked like a rookie season, full of energy."

After 4 minutes, the Lakers' score was opened by 5 points, which was acceptable. Vogel sent the strongest lineup and entered the decisive moment.

The Pelicans also put on the strongest lineup, facing each other.

Hayes kept his thick eyebrows a little fluttering, and when he saw Meng Hua playing, his eyes spewed fire, and he ran over to defend him.

James gestured, called Meng Hua, and resorted to the most familiar and powerful offensive routine.

James didn't dismantle, he was still dribbling, and after a few minutes of rest, he also needed time to re-adapt to the game, touching the ball for a few seconds, so that he could integrate faster.

This is why many players refuse to give up the ball.

As soon as Westbrook arrived at the Lakers, the Lakers once persuaded him to give up the ball.

Westbrook has played for so many years and has always had the ball in his hands. He is not used to playing without the ball.

Besides, your team has a point guard, why not let the point guard control the ball?Then why trade him over?
After playing for a season, Vogel did not compromise, the ball was still often controlled by James' big hands, and Westbrook did not compromise, he still shared a lot of possession.

But all the other Lakers players have to play off the ball, which somewhat affects the Lakers' combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of Meng Hua, the best 3D player, and the Lakers suffering from many injuries, they wouldn't even be able to make it to the playoffs.

Seeing that James didn't pass the pass to Meng Hua, Hayes said in desperation: "Meng Gou, at your level, don't come out and make a fool of yourself. If you move again, Le Tie would rather hit the iron by himself than pass it to you."

"At least I can catch the ball, unlike you." Meng Hua said coldly, "Next time, please answer quickly, and don't take a long time to find out that you are not a mad dog."

Scum like Hayes doesn't wave his elbows at all times, which shows that he is easy to think. Even if he doesn't provoke Meng Hua, Meng Hua is still thinking about how to provoke him.

Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

After successfully fighting the fire, Meng Hua Lingbo took small steps and ran towards James again.

Hayes was in a fit of rage, how could he get rid of it easily, he lifted his feet and drove away the cicada in eight steps.

Seeing that Meng Hua was approaching Ingram, Hayes couldn't help slowing down, worried that he would turn back suddenly.

Even if he doesn't turn back, if he wants to block Ingram, he will also slow down.

Meng Hua didn't slow down, but suddenly a spring was installed under his feet, and he accelerated again.

He didn't block Ingram, he didn't do a pick-and-roll, but a pure off-ball movement.

Hitt, cunning and cunning, Hayes scolded.

I saw James' gesture a few times. This gesture is a pick-and-roll. The Lakers are too cunning to change their gestures.

He was a bit wrong to blame the Lakers, the gesture did not change, it was Meng Hua who changed.

When he was approaching Ingram, he suddenly changed his mind and accelerated again.

James reacted quickly, flicking the ball with his right hand diagonally backward, without looking at the pass.

Meng Hua took the ball and threw it into the sky. He dared to bet on Thalia's innocence. This action would definitely shake the angry Hayes away.

Refusing to destroy the flower with his hands, Hayes really bounced high, swung his right arm, and patted Meng Hua in the air.

Meng Hua pointed his toes, and wanted to shoot an open three-pointer, but was worried that Hayes would kick him with a dog-leg, so he simply took a step sideways and dribbled straight to the inside.

He is like a light, the light of enlightenment.

Under his light, Varan pounced forward with a pale face.

Meng Hua had long thought that he would do this.

In chess, you have to take one step and watch two moves, or even watch three moves to win.

The same is true for playing basketball. It is not only about physical fitness, but also wits.

Seeing through the opponent's defense, Meng Hua was already prepared, and he passed a behind the ball with his left hand.

This is the easiest way to break the game.

The ball was easily given to the unguarded thick eyebrows under the basket.

For a big killer like the thick eyebrow, he really doesn't know how to deal with this kind of ball other than bouncing and dunking.

Most of the time, there are teammates open, depending on how you pass the ball.

With this ball, Meng Hua could pass and hit the ground, but he might not be able to pass Varan's five fingers.

It is also possible to pass the lob, but Jones has already rushed to the inside, and the ball has to fly steadily past him who is about to fly, and it is very difficult to catch it with thick eyebrows.

However, Meng Hua suddenly handed the ball to his left hand and chose an unexpected behind-the-back pass, and the situation suddenly became clear.

It turns out that you can pass the ball like this.

O'Neal clapped his hands and applauded; "This pass is beautiful and so creative. I can't pass this kind of ball even if I am killed."

Barkley: "Brown finally scored a goal, I hope this can help him gain confidence."

Smith: "Maybe the thick eyebrow didn't expect that he actually had to rely on a rookie to help restore the game."

Although he was commenting on the thick eyebrows, he still had a weird attitude towards Meng Hua, which was obvious from his tone and words.

After the game, he felt aggrieved by the flood of accusations from Meng fans on his social media, and posted a long article to prove that he was only objective and fair, and did not suppress Meng Hua at all.

O'Neill reposted his article, and then published two words: Hehe.

Barkley also forwarded the article, writing: "No one can be absolutely objective and fair, and more importantly, dare to love and hate."

Smith also often made clear-cut remarks, but when it came to dealing with Meng Hua, he actually wanted to slander him, but he was afraid of offending Meng fans, so the slander was not thorough enough.

This kind of two-sided behavior of sitting on the wall is what Barkley can't understand the most, so he made a speech to ridicule him.

In any case, Meng Hua on the court has enriched the Lakers' offensive play and activated new tactics.

Vogel replaced Rivers and sent Munch, let Meng Hua run without the ball, let Munch and James play pick-and-rolls, Westbrook was on the weak side preparing to catch the ball, and his thick eyebrows dominated the inside.

Such a Laker, the Pelicans are even more difficult to guard against.
