Tang Hao couldn't help frowning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Smart's provocative trash talk isn't uncommon in the NBA, and it's even one of the defensive skills that many defensive players rely on.
However, this is the first time Tang Hao has encountered such a situation, and it is obvious that he does not like this defensive method so much.
"Come on! Don't tell me you're scared! Coward! Come on! Smart continued, Tang Hao shouted, looking at his appearance, he wouldn't stop if he didn't really anger Tang Hao.
Tang Hao was indeed enraged.
He thought he was mentally good, but Smart's words managed to annoy him.
Seeing that Tang Hao's face had finally changed, Smart's face showed a look of excitement, which showed that his plan had worked.
Trash talk can be a tactic for defenders because of his ability to provoke offensive players and make opponents make wrong judgments.
For example, right now, Smart is trying to force Tang Hao to beat him, instead of calling his teammates to block and dismantle, so that the success of his defense will be greatly improved.
Tang Hao moved, shook in a cross step, and took a big step to the right.
Smart followed and stepped back to the right.
Tang Hao changed direction in the opposite direction to the left, the speed was fast, and he broke through with Smart's left hand and went inside.
This disguise was quick and accurate, Smart staggered at his feet, and when he adjusted his position, Tang Hao had already broken through to the basket, and pressed the ball into the basket with a one-handed slam in his left hand.
Smart looked back at this scene with a look of disbelief.
Bradley and Tang Hao fought hard to defend before, and they didn't even withdraw their forces, which seemed to him to be a very stupid behavior, but he definitely wouldn't do it, so he was full of confidence after he came up.
It's just that he may not have thought that the reason why Bradley is so defensive is not because he is stupid or has brain cramps, but because he knows that only by defending Tang Hao like that can the success rate be the highest.
After the goal, Tang Hao turned around and glared at Smart coldly.
Smart did succeed in angering Tang Hao, but what he didn't expect was not necessarily a good thing to anger an opponent.
In the Celtics' offensive round, Smart dribbled to the front court and directly selected the strong surge Clarkson.
His body was strong, and his sheer strength pressed Clarkson into it.
The two soon arrived on the inside line together, Smart jumped up and squeezed Smart in the air, and before he landed, adjusted his shooting position in the air and threw the ball.
It was a scoring opportunity from a power rush, and Smart flew up and down to the basket.
The ball was on a positive trajectory, and Smart was pretty good tonight.
But just as the ball was rising, a figure fell from the sky.
Tang Hao!
He took advantage of his anti-sky speed and bounce speed to rush directly above Smart and slam into the rising basketball.
"Smack!"
There was no imaginary big hat, but the scene was in an uproar.
Tang Hao grabbed the ball directly in his hand.
Catch the risk!
Smart had a good hand, but he didn't even get a chance to touch the basket.
After Tang Hao grabbed the ball, the Celtics quickly retreated.
Under the training of young coach Stevens, although the strength of this team is not so strong, its tactical literacy is already first-class in the league.
Tang Hao advanced to the front court with the ball, glanced at the Celtics' defense, handed the ball into Clarkson's hands for a transition, and then ran around the court to the other side.
With back-to-back pick-and-rolls from Davis and Boozer, he managed to run out of a good receiving position.
However, he was just ready to receive the ball, and Olynyk on the inside came up to defend at the first time.
Clarkson wanted to pass the ball, but after seeing this scene, he had to turn around and look for new offensive opportunities.
He was just about to turn around, and then he saw Tang Hao use his speed to get rid of Olynyk.
Although the defense was successful, in terms of speed, it was difficult for Olynyk to keep up with Tang Hao.
Clarkson gave up the idea of passing the ball to others, turned around and threw the ball to Tang Hao.
Tang Hao received the ball, faced O'Nelik, and directly chose to make a quick stop.
Olynyk jumped up for the block, but had a clear disadvantage in speed.
"Huh~"
With a crisp sound, Tang Hao steadily hit his 11th shot in this quarter.
The fans at the scene couldn't sit still, Tang Hao scored his 28th point of the game, and the Lakers had a 14-point lead over the Celtics at 35-21.
The Celtics' offense, Turner played on the weak side of the back, attracting the Lakers' interior defense, and he hit the ball from behind to Olynyk on the inside.
Olynyk catches the ball and stuffs it straight into the basket.
The Celtics finally broke the team's long-standing scoring drought.
At this point in the game, there were less than 20 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and after Clarkson advanced to the front court with the ball, he then stuffed the ball to Tang Hao.
The fans at the scene looked nervously at the field at this time, the home team really gave Tang Hao too many opportunities in this quarter.
"Come on! Come on! ”
Smart still shouted at Tang Hao.
It's just that he can feel that the purpose of what he is doing now is not to provoke Tang Hao, but more like to cheer himself up.
Tang Hao observed the Celtics' defense, and seeing that the others had no intention of wrapping up, he turned around and leaned against Smart, and then began to play inside.
Smart's whole face was excited.
In other ways, he may not be as good as Bradley, but if you fight for strength like this, that's what he's best at.
Tang Hao leaned against Smart and leaned in to fight.
"Bang!"
Smart just leaned back a little, didn't move his feet, and didn't give up his position.
Seeing that he was not pushed away, Smart's face was excited, and sure enough, he could withstand Tang Hao.
There was also a burst of cheers at the scene.
After they saw this scene, the thought that flashed in their hearts was that Tang Hao couldn't move Smart!
It also means that this time the offense, Smart's probability of defensive success has increased greatly.
It can even be said that in this case, not only this time, but in the following games, Tang Hao's back play will be ineffective.
The clock was ticking by, and there were less than 10 seconds left until the end of the first quarter.
Tang Hao didn't move for a while, then increased some strength, and slammed it in.
"Bang!"
There was a clash of muscles, and Smart felt a strong blow, as if a heavy truck had hit him.
The power contained in this moment cannot be compared with the previous one.
Caught off guard, Smart's feet were in a mess, and he was directly pushed backwards and retreated several steps.
Tang Hao felt a lightness behind him, and he didn't expect that he would directly fly Smart into the air.
He looked back and saw that Smart was out of the line, turned around directly, and made a stride layup, catching up with Smart before him, and lightly picked the ball into the basket.
30 points!
After this ball fell into the net, Tang Hao had already scored his 30th point in this quarter.
The fans at the scene couldn't help but shake their heads.
After being provoked by Smart's words, Tang Hao turned on the god-killing mode at the North Shore Garden Arena.
In fact, what Tang Hao himself didn't expect was that his 30 points also broke the rookie single-quarter scoring record set by Chamberlain more than 30 years ago.
Back in the second quarter, Tang Hao sat off the court, chatting and laughing with Kobe.
The 14-point difference is enough for them to rest off the court for a while.
"Don, Taylor is a good girl, if you're in a relationship with her, cut off other women." Chatting and chatting, the topic naturally became Tang Hao's recently hotly discussed emotional problems.
"Taylor and I are just friends." Tang Hao didn't expect Kobe to talk about this, he didn't really want to talk about this, but when Kobe Bryant talked about it, he told the truth.
"Yes, friend." Kobe Bryant smiled, he didn't speculate whether what Tang Hao said was true or false.
Tang Hao also understood the meaning of Kobe's expression, but he didn't explain much, many things could not be explained clearly.
While they were chatting, the form of the field suddenly changed.
I don't know if he was angered by Tang Hao, Smart is playing extremely actively on the court at this time, plus he is indeed hot, he played more than 3 minutes in the second quarter, he personally scored 6 points and 2 assists, and led the team to play a wave of 11-2 climax, almost about to fill the gap between the two sides.
"How incredible! Goals from Marcus, he's proving himself and he's the brightest star in Boston tonight! The on-site commentator also shouted excitedly.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, Scott turned around and glanced at Tang Hao, walked over and asked, "Is there a problem with your physical strength?" ”
Tang Hao shook his head.
Scott didn't say much, and after getting this answer, he directly signaled Tang Hao to play early.
Seeing Tang Hao reappearing, the fans at the scene were unconsciously restless, they saw Tang Hao killing all sides with their own eyes in the first quarter.
Stevens also walked to the sidelines and loudly told his teammates to be ready to help.
After staging a brave performance of 30 points in a single quarter, both fans and head coaches regarded Tang Hao as the strongest opponent.
There was only one person, after seeing Tang Hao reappear, there was a raging war in his eyes.
Smart.
After a period of outstanding performance, the whole person's self-confidence skyrocketed, and he was ready to take advantage of his hot state to give Tang Hao some color.
Tang Hao was substituted on the court, and the Lakers' offense.
Clarkson held the ball to the front court, beckoned his teammates to run, and when Tang Hao ran out, he threw the ball directly.
Tang Hao took advantage of Boozer's blocking and pick-and-roll to catch the ball and shoot.
However, Boozer's blocking quality went wrong at this time, Smart was not completely blocked, and when Tang Hao made a move, Smart rushed out and jumped up against him is a powerful interference.
Tang Hao's shot was interfered with, and the ball was a little worse in the end, and it popped out of the frame after hitting the basket.
The rebound was taken by Olynyk.
The Celtics took advantage of the situation to launch a fast attack, Smart received a long throw from Olynyk on the run, received the ball and squeezed Nick Young away with his strength, and scored the ball with his right hand.
When the shot was made, the referee's whistle sounded.
For a 2-plus-1 opportunity, Yang rushed to the referee to theorize, and Smart yelled in place excitedly at this time.
When he roared to Tang Hao's side, he shouted directly: "Look at it! Look! You can't stop me! You can't stop me! ”
A burst of cheers was immediately heard from the scene.
"Marcus! Marcus! ”
The front-row audience shouted Smart's name.
Feng Shui takes turns, and in their opinion, it is time for Smart to perform.
Young's complaint drew a technical foul from the referee, and it was Smart's free throw.
Young was substituted and Scott was replaced by Johnson.
Smart's two free throws.
He had a hot hand, and after hitting both free throws, he had already helped the Celtics chase the score to 38-39, with only one point left in the 14-point difference, and it was the Celtics' possession.
It's no wonder that the fans at the scene are so excited at this time, Smart's performance during this period of time seems to be the leader and savior of the Green Shirts.
This performance also proves that Anji's original choice was right.
Celtics' sideline ball.
Clarkson was about to run over to defend Smart when he suddenly felt someone pulling him behind him.
When he looked back, it was Tang Hao, and there was a puzzled look in his eyes.
"Give him to me."
Tang Hao said, he didn't give Clarkson a chance to choose, and directly changed it.
Clarkson was stunned for a moment, and then went to defend Thorton.
Smart ran outside the three-point line to receive the sideline ball from Crowder, and when he turned around to get the ball, he saw that the defender had changed from Clarkson to Tang Hao.
He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly his whole body was extremely excited.
The reality is really wonderful!
He just successfully blocked Tang Hao's goal on the defensive end, and this time he gave himself the opportunity to attack Tang Hao.
It doesn't get much more perfect than that.
"You can't stop me, I'll break through your defense, this is my home field!" Smart held the ball while motioning for his teammates to pull away, and continued to shout at Tang Hao.
"You try." Tang Hao replied lightly.
Smart's face was cold, and he didn't call his teammates to block and dismantle, he directly accelerated and rushed in, looking at his posture, he was ready to use his crushing breakthrough with the highest success rate in this game.
Tang Hao retreated to the basket.
Smart got up and leaned towards Tang Hao, and his right hand was ready to shoot at the same time.
Tang Hao was successfully squeezed away by him, and he threw the ball with his right hand.
The corners of his mouth showed a smile, even if Tang Hao bounced against the sky, when he was squeezed away by himself, there was no angle, and it was impossible to interfere with his shot.
"This ......" At this moment, Stevens on the sidelines showed a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Tang Hao paused and jumped up, and slapped his right hand towards Smart's shot.
He doesn't really have enough angles to seal, but he has height.
"Smack!"
Smart's shot encountered Tang Hao's volleyball-style block and was directly fanned out of the court.
The scene was in an uproar.
At this time, more than one person at the scene remembered that Tang Hao easily broke the record of vertical jumping when he was a rookie.
