NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 258 Give me the ball, I'll take you home

With only 30 seconds left, Willie Green finished drawing two sets of tactics and loudly encouraged his disciples.

"Don't worry, we are leading now, and they are the ones who are anxious. As long as we pass it on patiently, opportunities will definitely come out."

As a veteran player on the field, McCollum and the head coach cooperated tacitly, and he said conclusively: "James has no physical strength, and his hands are always on his knees. Meng Hua is playing with a ball. Even if we don't score overtime, they are not our opponents."

Ingram smiled: "There will be no overtime, just fuck them."

Everyone folded their palms together: "Do it!"

O'Neill: "The rookies like the Pelicans, will they have any tricks?"

Barkley glanced at the score and said with a sneer: "In the fourth quarter, it was tied at 17. It's like this, so I guess this ball is also a strike, and it must be overtime."

O'Neal: "Even if they finish 24 seconds, there are still 6 seconds left. Are you so sure the Lakers can't score?"

Smith answered for him: "Meng Hua has already scored three three-pointers in a row, and it is impossible to score again. How can there be such good luck?"

O'Neill laughed wildly: "One is luck, but scoring three in a row is also luck?"

Barkley continued: "In fact, I think the Lakers will not score because it was the last attack. You know, the ball will not be handed over to Meng Hua. He does not have that tactical status."

Smith: "Oh, you mean, you can get in if you hand it over to him?"

Barkley nodded resolutely: "He has scored three in a row. He has also made a lore before. He is not afraid of this kind of scene."

Smith: "So, you think he's better than James?"

Barkley said: "There will always be good and bad touch. As far as this game is concerned, I don't think there is any problem in choosing him at the last moment."

Johnson couldn't help but said: "The next round is the Pelicans' offense. Can we focus on them, how will they play, two points or three points?"

O'Neal said: "I guess it will be two points. McCollum controls the ball and breaks through after running out of time. If he doesn't score, he won't give the Lakers much time."

Barkley analyzed: "I won't play McCollum. Facing Meng Hua, he didn't take advantage of it. In this game, he scored far less than his own average points per game."

Smith said: "The two teams are fighting for defense, and the scoring is lower than the average per game, and it's not just him."

O'Neill said: "Whoever told you, Meng Hua is higher than the average per game. He scored 9 three-pointers and scored 35 points."

Smith disdainfully said: "With James helping to attract the defense, he only needs three-point accuracy, breaking 40 is not very normal."

Barkley yelled at Meng Hua: "Then why don't others enter?"

Smith added: "This has something to do with Vogel's tactics. He asked Monk to play more pick-and-rolls, and Monk also started with 40 points."

O'Neill said: "Stop this argument, Charles, you just said that the Pelicans will not beat McCollum, continue."

Barkley said: "If you don't play McCollum, you can only play Ingram. He will use the screen to pass James, take the ball to the penalty area, and decide whether to shoot himself or distribute it to his teammates depending on the defense of the thick eyebrows."

The Pelicans played and started the five-man team.

The Lakers did not make any substitutions. Among the starting five, Westbrook was replaced by Monk.

Westbrook didn't seem to have any opinion, and he kept cheering up his teammates.

Or maybe, he suppressed his anger and prepared to be eliminated before liquidating Vogel.

Jones served, and the Pelicans did not hit McCollum as Barkley expected.

Ingram goes around the screen to catch the ball, then dribbles around the perimeter, killing time.

With the clock running out, Ingram called a screen and was about to drive into the lane.

James is very smart, he twisted his waist, passed through the screen unbelievably, and stood in front of Ingram.

Knowing that the situation was wrong, Ingram immediately took the ball and returned it to McCollum.

McCollum caught the ball and took three steps.

With Meng Hua's lateral speed and physical strength, how can McCollum take advantage of the ball when he hits this level.

Under Meng Hua's pressure, he had no chance at all, and the more he broke through crookedly, the farther he was from the basket.

Time is running out.

It was passed that his teammates had no time to catch and shoot, and McCollum threw the ball into the air in desperation.

beep!
The referee blew his whistle to indicate that Meng Hua had fouled.

There were bursts of applause at the scene, dedicated to the wise referee.

The fans didn't see where Meng Hua fouled, but since the referee blew his whistle, he must have committed a foul.

They specialize in doing this, don't you believe in professionalism?
Meng Hua held his head, then quickly looked at Vogel, indicating that he had not fouled and asked him to challenge.

After watching the replay of the video, the referee resolutely upheld the original verdict, completely ignoring the furious Vogel.

Vogel slammed the tactical board angrily. He has carried a lot of pressure in this season.

He never expected that he would be hit by the black whistle at this time.

McCollum got to the free throw line, and for a shooter, his free throws weren't accurate.

He held the pressure and hit one of two free throws. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.

Vogel asked for a timeout again, changed the tactical board, and arranged the final attack.

Since the Pelicans only lead by one point, the Lakers have a lot more tactical options.

You can fire a few three-pointers, or you can break through.

In any case, as long as they score in open games, the Pelicans are almost certain to die.

Even if he could break through, Westbrook didn't get a chance to play, and neither did Thick Eyebrow.

Vogel still chose Monk and Melon.

At the juncture of life and death, the two giants were both forgotten.

The Lakers play, their tactics have not changed, Meng Hua runs without the ball, James and Monk play pick-and-roll.

Green, who had just played and saw through the Lakers' tactics, also chose to pause.

Before leaving the field, Meng Hua walked across the halfway line. The fat fan seized the opportunity and cursed angrily, "Meng Gou, you have the guts to challenge me one-on-one."

He sprayed very loudly, and there were bursts of ridicule around him immediately.

Previously, no matter how much he provoked Meng Hua, the audience around him did not give much support.

Because even if they help, there is more time, and it may not affect Meng Hua.

But the situation is different now, there are only six seconds left in the clock, following the booing will definitely affect Meng Hua.

Meng Hua stopped, faced the ridicule, his eyes spewed fire, and glared at the fat man.

The fat man was a little guilty and lowered his head to avoid his gaze, but the curses from the people around him were louder.

Dare to resist?There are so many of us, spray him to death!
"Meng Dog, go back to Los Angeles!"

"Meng dog, go to hell!"

Seeing that the opponent sees a timeout, the opponent will definitely guess that he will change his routine.

No, he just wanted me to change my routine, but I refused to change.

After making some choices, Vogel said calmly: "We still play the tactics just now, we don't need to change, but we have to pretend to be a discussion."

Meng Hua's anger was still soaring, and he felt that he would definitely be able to make a three-pointer.

He's already made nine 9-pointers, and one more will complete the game.

Before the timeout, he did not dare to stand up after struggling. After all, James' breakthrough is also very confident.

Now he is suddenly eager to get this three-point opportunity.

He vaguely felt that the opposing coach had seen through Vogel, but Vogel did not change his tactics. In this case, James may not score.

"I've scored nine three-pointers," he looked at Vogel and James with murderous eyes, and said Kobe's famous words, "give me the ball, and I'll take you home."
