Chapter 285
In the NBA, there are some substitutes that the coach deliberately asks him to play as a substitute. In fact, he has the ability to start and is a pseudo-substitute, such as Manu Ginobili of the Spurs.

The overall strength of most substitutes is not as good as that of the starters.

But some substitutes have very strong scoring ability and may produce explosive output per unit of time. This is the so-called bench gangster.

During the King's heyday, the King's substitutes headed by Bobby Jackson were all bench gangsters and masters of chaos.

Of course, in most cases, there is only one gangster on a team's bench. They are often solo masters, or their tactical literacy is not so outstanding.

Like Jamal Crawford and Louie Williams.

Payne and Johnson are not bench gangsters. They are important rotations for the Suns and system players.

But that doesn't mean, at some point, they can't break out like gangsters.

Payne holds the ball and picks and rolls with Johnson. When Paul is off the court, the two set off a wave of offensive frenzy.

Johnson made two three-pointers, and Payne contributed two breakthroughs, all of which went to the left, and then picked a basket lightly.

It was Westbrook and James who defended the two.

I don't know if it's because of the bottleneck in physical strength, but Westbrook's lateral movement speed is appalling, and Payne can just pass him by pulling horizontally.

James is not much better, Johnson pick-and-roll cuts, his lead-filled legs can't move at all, and can only watch the opponent shoot three-pointers.

That's it?

Meng Hua watched and shook his head. He doesn't like to criticize his teammates. He thinks that if there is something to do together, he might have lost his temper.

Compared with his defense, the defense of these two guys is really different.

James and Westbrook can't help it, they have indeed encountered a physical bottleneck.

The offensive end relies on strength, but also

Fist is afraid of the young, old people get old first.

Vogel finally saw something was wrong, and replaced the two with Melon and Tucker.

With the two balls going down, the Lakers became more and more flustered.

The offense is not good, and the defense is quickly lost.

Fortunately, this painful time lasted only 2 minutes, and the Suns also hit the iron many times. Finally, Johnson scored a three-pointer to end this quarter.

From the entry of Payne and Johnson to the end of the first quarter, in just over four minutes, the Suns scored 13-7 to help the Suns further open the score.

The Lakers' offense is already very efficient, scoring 34 points in a single quarter, and their scoring is not worth mentioning when they meet the Suns who scored 45 points frantically.

Tencent studio is full of accusations against Westbrook and James.

What's the matter with James, if he doesn't defend, he will also be scolded in China.

Yang Yi analyzed: "The Lakers have to find a way to defend, 45 points in a single quarter, even if you let him face the air, he may not be able to score such a high score. I finally saw what it means to have nothing on defense. The Suns are really good."

Wang Meng laughed and said, "That's right, this kind of ball looks pretty good, but Vogel must be dizzy."

Yang Yi continued: "Dizzy with anger, what right does he have to be stunned with anger? I think only Meng Hua has the right to be angry."

Wang Meng slammed his mouth and spread his hands: "Oh, just these players, what should we do, Mr. Yang, think about it quickly."

Yang Yi adjusted his glasses and asked, "Is it just these people?"

Wang Meng nodded: "Yes."

"Change the head coach." Yang Yi laughed after finishing speaking.

"Wouldn't the head coach be changed?" Wang Meng insisted.

Yang Yi said seriously: "What is the meaning of having Meng Hua and Claude match up? To save his physical strength? Meng Hua is not yet 20 years old, he has plenty of physical strength. The more you let him take on arduous tasks, the more he will feel excited and his physical strength will only improve. This is the difference between young players and old players."

"Then who should he guard against, Booker?" Wang Meng asked again.

"Stick the engine, you must guard against Grandpa St. Paul, just switch defenses with Westbrook."

The two teams took a short break and played again soon.

Paul rested for 4 minutes in the first quarter and was on the court at the beginning of the game, replacing Booker.

The Sun Five are Paul, Johnson, Bridges, Crowder and McGee.

On the Lakers side, James was replaced again. The five tigers on the field are Munch, Tucker, Meng Hua, James and Warcraft.

Losing 11 points in a single quarter, Vogel had no choice but to play Wang Zang and let Meng Hua defend Paul.

Meng Hua had also defended Paul before, and the two had to fight for every ball, and they had a very unpleasant fight.

In that game, he still had 10 minutes to experience the card, the old hooligan's post-up singles.

Offensively invincible, which in turn improves his defense.

But now, he doesn't have an experience card, but his strength has improved a lot, and he is also confident to seal Paul.

He can't control Paul passing the ball, but Paul wants to train him in the military, so he doesn't know who is training whom.

While you are training others, others are also training you.

James exerted strength and Bridges succeeded in singles.

As long as he has physical strength, he is not afraid of anyone.

The disadvantage of this sentence is that as long as.

Paul dribbled the ball, and the defender in front of him became Meng Hua. He knew that the Lakers would use Meng Hua to defend him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

His mind was running at high speed, recalling the situation of the last battle, searching for Meng Hua's shortcomings.

After much deliberation, Paul decided to pass the ball.

In terms of height, wingspan, speed and physical strength, he has no advantages. What he has is basketball skills and awareness.

This is the playoffs, veteran Paul also has a competitive heart, but he will never use his disadvantages to beat the enemy's advantages.

The Lakers only had Meng Hua defend well, so they bypassed Meng Hua and hit the others.

McGee covered and went down, Warcraft and Meng Hua lost sight of each other.

Paul threw the ball high, McGee made an alley-oop, and dunked the ball with one hand.

Warcraft won the best defensive player three times, or three consecutive times, but that was once, and now he moves slowly, making it difficult to defend against McGee.

Although he didn't guard against it, Vogel's frown was relaxed a lot.

Because he could see that Paul was playing very hard, how much energy would he have in a few more rounds?

He regretted a little, he should have sent Meng Hua on the field earlier.

While saving Meng Hua's physical strength, Paul's physical strength is also being saved.

It's never too late to fix the problem, let's start now.

On the court, Meng Hua was angry, angry because he didn't defend himself. He judged that Paul was going to throw the ball high, and almost grabbed the high throw directly.

It's a pity that Paul reacted quickly and had a long wingspan. He watched the ball slip away from his fingertips.

If it's just a big difference, he won't be angry anyway if there is no hope of stealing, but he has touched the hair of the ball.

Paul had lingering fears. He was calm on the surface, and he became more and more afraid of Meng Hua.

But he is the commander on the court, and he can never admit cowardice. He desperately hinted to himself that Meng Hua just happened to defend the ball so well, and it was by no means his real strength.

The Lakers continued to attack, the old man James chatted about being a teenager, and singled Bridges from the top of the arc.

Taking advantage of his physical strength just after playing, he taught his opponent a lesson. He was humiliated by Johnson just now, and he had to get back on the field.

Bridges scratched and clawed, pulling out all the stops, but Jen couldn't hold back.

James Tank opened the way, got stuck in the first step, rushed to the penalty area, and flew up to dunk.

Flat basket dunks.
