NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 281 I Will Not Face Off With Anyone

As soon as he got off the plane, Meng Hua felt the heat wave hit him. He wondered if it was because of the sun.

But it is not necessarily called the sun because of the heat.

It may also be that some places are very majestic.

When we arrived at the venue, everything was as usual, and it felt the same as at home, except that the locker room was smaller.

At the pre-match press conference, none of the Big Three wanted to attend, so Vogel pulled Meng Hua.

Meng Hua lowered his head and secretly looked at his phone the whole time. He was studying the video of the five Sun Tigers.

The Suns are number one in the league and they are at home. Most reporters support them.

One question after another made Vogel very annoyed, but Meng Hua lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, so he had to answer the questions patiently.

He brought Meng Hua here because he hoped that he would stand up and talk more. He didn't want Meng Hua to be cunning and just focus on his own business.

Finally a reporter got angry and asked Meng Hua, "I noticed that you kept looking down. I guess you were looking at your phone. It's too impolite. If you don't want to answer questions, you don't have to come to the press conference. No one forces you to come. This is the playoffs. The team and the media must interact. We can complain about your behavior."

After putting away the phone, Meng Hua looked up, quickly recounted their questions and Vogel's answer, and said, "What you see is an illusion, I've been there all the time."

那记者无言以对，只好提问道：“你觉得你们会以大比分多少落败？4比1，4比2还是4比3，我估计你们不会被剃光头。”

Meng Hua kicked the ball and looked at Vogel: "I'm only in charge of playing on the court. I'd better leave predictions to the coach."

Vogel gritted his teeth with hatred. Dealing with the media was boring, but he had to do it.

Such a stupid question like this reporter asked, he was obviously very angry and couldn't beat him.

Vogel turned on the god chat mode, and he almost fainted, and no one understood whether the Lakers would lose and by what score.

This is a kind of ability, a kind of foolish ability, to complicate simple problems, and to explain things clearly in one sentence in ten sentences, so that everyone is confused.

Another reporter asked Meng Hua: "Bridges' playing style is very similar to yours. How do you evaluate him?"

Meng Hua did not hesitate to praise: "He is a senior, a top 3D player in the league, with a scary defensive area, three-point accuracy, and off-the-ball running is also a must."

It is said that poisonous milk can suck a person to death, so let him die.

The reporter asked again: "On the court, will you blow him up?"

In this kind of playoff stage, no one is willing to admit defeat. He is going to dig into the themes of him and Bridges, two defensive champions, in this series.

Meng Hua smiled and said, "I won't fight him."

"Because you're afraid of him?"

"I won't fight him." Meng Hua said again.

The reporter did not give up and chased after him: "What if Coach Monty just asks him to guard you?"

"I won't play against him." Meng Hua said for the third time.

"Why?" The reporter was stunned.

"I don't play against anyone because when they come to guard me, I'm gone."

When he said these words, he had a sense of "everyone here is rubbish". If you want to call him crazy, he said it in a humorous tone, which doesn't seem to be very annoying.

If you want to say that you are not angry, after you realize it, you will be very angry again.

Meng Hua is not arrogant for no reason, saying these things naturally have his purpose.

If the reporter asked other people, he was too lazy to answer, but when it came to Bridges, he still had some ideas.

The Lakers' offense mostly starts from James. The Suns' Bridges and Crowder can both defend James, but on the outside, Bridges' defensive effect is better.

If he can piss off Bridges and really match up with him, he can relieve James.

When it was the Suns' post-game press conference, Bridges also attended, and the reporter also asked him what he thought of Meng Hua.

Bridges didn't know about Meng Hua's remarks, so he was full of hype.

Both of them are low-key and unassuming, and their functions on the court are very consistent. Naturally, it is easy to appreciate each other.

After learning that Meng Hua said that he would not match up with anyone, Bridges smiled and said: "You will see the truth on the court."

A biting dog doesn't bark, he doesn't speak loudly, he just bites his opponent fiercely on the court.

When he wants to bite the opponent, he may have fallen into the opponent's trap.

The Suns ranked first in the league, in addition to Booker's crazy scoring and Sao Paulo's precise scheduling, but also because they have Monty.

How could Meng Hua's petty thinking succeed in front of the magnanimous Monty?
In the visiting team's locker room, the Lakers players formed a circle.

The locker room is small, far inferior to the Los Angeles home team locker room.

Smallness sometimes has its advantages. Everyone can only gather tightly together in a meeting. I don’t know if they are united or not, at least they look alike.

At this moment, a group of burly men gathered together, they were not talking about beauties, they were brainstorming and discussing how to deal with the sun.

Vogel used the aggressive method to directly boost his morale: "They are both offensive and defensive. I really can't think of any way to defeat them. Let's think of a way together."

James said: "Paul's ability to control the pick-and-roll tactics, control the timing, score and read the game at critical moments is extraordinary."

Melon analyzed: "They have established trust at critical moments of the game. They know who to hand the ball to and what tactics to play."

Westbrook said; "According to what you say, don't they have no weaknesses."

Vogel originally intended to be a provocative player. Seeing James straddling his opponent, he was a little anxious. If the team didn't have any confidence, then it would be a fart.

James also said: "There is no team without weaknesses. Their inside offensive methods are average. Although they have pick-and-rolls, they still rely heavily on touch. We have thick eyebrows, and Russell can also play low. There is no need to be afraid of them."

Thick eyebrows nodded in agreement: "We rely on pick-and-rolls, force them to switch defenses, and pull Ayton to the outside line. Their inside line will be even more empty. Others can't stop me."

Talking about war on paper finally gained a wave of confidence, but Vogel has no idea what will happen in actual combat.

In the locker room of the home team, the Suns are also making preparations.

Because the press conference was interrupted by reporters, Bridges volunteered to defend Meng Hua.

Surprisingly, the strong fighting spirit was rejected by head coach Monty.

"How can he be worthy of your defense, you should do it against James."

With Monty's words, Bridges, who was already full of displeasure, became murderous again.

He was competing for the dpoy option in the regular season, and Meng Hua played less than 58 games, so he didn't even qualify.

The layout is really small, why stare at him, a first-year student?

His pattern is not small, Meng Hua is a freshman, but everyone knows how dangerous Meng Hua, who made a layup to kill the Clippers, is.

It is precisely because he is aware of this danger that he, who has the best perimeter defense, will take the initiative to ask for help.
