084. The storm is coming, and the five little deaths are here!
Just when everyone thought that Wang Cheng was going to be thrown away, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the basketball in the air with a reaction speed that ordinary people dare not imagine.
I saw him pounce hard, like a cheetah pounced on its prey.
“woo!!!”
The exclamations at the scene sounded again, much louder than just now!
"Wang Cheng used a movement similar to a goalkeeper to save the ball in mid-air, and the Lakers launched a counterattack!" Director Zhang shouted excitedly.
After Wang Cheng won the ball, he immediately went to the heart of the warriors.
For a moment, Curry chased after Wangcheng, and Green struggled to defend at his side.
Although the front intercepted and the rear pursued, Wang Cheng, who was sandwiched into a "sandwich" at this time, had only one goal in mind: fuck him!
With the blessing of the buff, his speed is not only not slower than Green's, but he even presses Green near the free throw line.
The basket is in front of him, Wang Cheng took three steps directly, holding the ball in his right hand, and he had to directly fill the frame with a "fire to the sky".
Naturally, Green wouldn't let Wang Cheng get his hands on it so easily, and he jumped up and down, using his extra-long reach to try to complete the block.
In mid-air, two figures, one black and one white, gradually overlapped each other.
In the end, Green missed a move and failed to touch the basketball, and his outstretched hand slapped Wang Cheng's right forearm.
"Beep~" The referee's whistle sounded immediately, which was a clear defensive foul.
Wang Cheng was shot off balance, but with his strong reflexes, he forcibly regained control of the basketball in the air and threw the ball to the basket before hitting the ground.
“AND ONE!” Wang Cheng shouted.
This is the habit of many NBA players: forcing the ball out after being fouled, and then shouting "add a penalty."
After landing, Wang Cheng stared closely at the direction of the basketball, while Green, who committed the foul, rushed to the referee with a look of "disbelief" and complained that he had not committed a foul.
To everyone's surprise, this random toss actually "wandered" around the basket a few times and then slowly rolled into the net.
“WOW!!!”
The fans at the scene were boiling!
Although this is a balloon, Wang Cheng's fast attack this time is too hard.
Wang Cheng roared angrily when he saw the goal ** clenched his right fist, then raised his arms and showed off his biceps to the camera off the field.
Brother Qiu and Yingge both ran to his side, quietly waiting for Wang Cheng to finish loading B before pulling him up with a smile, and after he got up, Brother Qiu also touched Wang Cheng's head excitedly.
Wang Cheng walked to the free throw line, and when the referee passed the ball to him, he kept staring at Green, who was in the position, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Penalty hit.
Face-to-face 2+1, this is Wangcheng's response.
"It can be seen that Wang Cheng already has the demeanor of a general at a young age, and in the face of Green's provocation, he not only did not lose his mind, but also immediately responded with 'basketball', which is awesome!" In Director Zhang's praise, there is already a feeling of "turning a fan".
The game continued.
In the next few minutes, Wang Cheng still guarded Curry, but the movement and defense were not bright, and the other player of the Splash Brothers, Klay, suddenly exploded, scored two three-pointers and a mid-range shot, and instantly took over the game.
And the Lakers lacked a response, just relying on Yingge's singles to barely bite the score.
With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Wang Cheng, who entered a physical bottleneck after the buff disappeared, was replaced by Pope.
At the same time, Curry also went off the break.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by nine points, 29:38.
Throughout the first quarter, Wang Chengli scored nine points on outside shooting, plus two steals and an assist.
On the other hand, Curry, a two-time MVP winner, only contributed 5 points under the strict defense of the royal city, and basically couldn't touch the ball in the second half of the first quarter, but under the containment of his off-ball running, the Warriors' offense was still sharp, which also allowed Klay to take over the game.
On the bench, Wang Cheng drank Gatorade, looking at the score on the big screen helplessly.
He used his hole cards in the first quarter, and the effect was really good, at least Curry was limited, and his performance on the offensive end can already be described as "amazing".
But even so, Wang Cheng still clearly felt that victory was slipping.
Turning to look at his teammates, they have also tried their best, but the gap in strength is difficult to fill with hard work alone.
"Wang, you go and keep an eye on Klay in the second quarter, Curry is in average shape today, let Clarkson defend in the second quarter, and Xiao Ke can improve the team's offensive firepower after he comes on the court." Wharton said bluntly.
Clarkson, who was on the side, smiled awkwardly, and Wharton's words made it clear that his defense was weak, but he still nodded solemnly, saying that he would definitely work hard to complete the task.
Clarkson understood that Wharton's words, while straightforward, were the truth, and he could not refute them himself.
The NBA is a competitive sport, and everything is based on performance. But it doesn't force everyone to be omnipotent, as long as you do what you're good at.
Clarkson, for example, has good singles ability and is a master of random battles, and if he opens his hand, he often has some unexpected performances.
So, at the beginning of the second quarter, Wang Cheng and Clarkson formed a new backcourt combination, and Kuzma also came off the bench, who was also a scorer.
On the Warriors' side, Klay is led by the hot-handed Klay, and there are two MVPs sitting on the bench.
In the second quarter, the Warriors took the lead.
Wang Cheng silently walked over to Clay and took his seat.
This is also a very tricky guy.
Wang Cheng has always had a characteristic: no matter what game he watches, as long as his home team is not involved, he likes to support the weaker side.
In his previous life, Wang Cheng was a Lakers fan, and the Lakers never missed the playoffs. As a result, he often incarnates as "Brave Black" to support the other team that opposes the Warriors, and over the years, he has a deep understanding of every player in the Warriors.
Klay, for example, is probably the most explosive 3D player in scoring, good both offensively and defensively, and a G6 killer with no emotion. He's very good at shooting after a matchup, and no matter how much pressure the defender puts on him, his shot is always so standard.
To defend such a player, the best way Wang Cheng can think of at the moment is to prevent the ball.
Yes, the same way as the anti-Kuri ...
At this point, Livingston dribbled through the halfcourt, Klay immediately started running, and the Kings quickly followed.
At this point, the two began a marathon chase.
After a few rounds, Klay relied on tireless running and teammates' blocking and pick-and-roll to get two shots, but I don't know if the hot hand had cooled, and these two shots failed to hit.
Except for these two shots, Wang Cheng used super defensive awareness in other rounds to prevent Clay from having no chance to catch the ball.
Therefore, in the eyes of the audience, Wang Cheng completely locked each other in the confrontation with Clay!
"Oh my God, our rookie is a single waterproof flower brother, and he doesn't fall behind at all, he is really a defensive ghost, and Crouching Tiger has picked up a treasure!"
"It's a 'Splash Terminator' feeling!"
The two audience members were clearly a little irritated.
Wang Cheng himself also knew that Clay's two shots were because he didn't continue his own feelings, and the opportunity came out completely, and he should be able to throw it at his level.
However, on the pitch only look at the results.
As a result, the Lakers played a small ** in these rounds, and after Clarkson's converted three-point shot, the Lakers narrowed the score deficit to 3 points, and the Warriors called a timeout.
When Wang Cheng walked to the bench, all the Lakers players stood up to welcome him, and many veteran players came over to pat Wang Cheng on the chest to show encouragement.
As long as you know a little bit about the ball, you know that in this small **, although it is Clarkson who scores the most, the core is definitely the Wang Cheng who supports the defense.
He didn't rely on any help defense, and he strangled Klay, who exploded in the first quarter, the only main player on the opponent's court!
In the face of everyone's encouragement, Wang Cheng responded with a smile, but without too much excitement, because he knew that it was too difficult to win this game.
Sure enough, after the timeout, Curry, Durant, and Green all appeared. They were joined by Andre Iguodala, who replaced centre-forward Pachulia.
Death Five Little, here!
This is the strongest lineup of Cosmic Brave. Statistics show that last season, when all five of them appeared at the same time, the Warriors' average net score came to a terrifying +32.
In other words, if the Death Five can play the whole game, the Warriors can win by 32 points per game.
Naturally, they can't play the whole game, but they can also get a glimpse of their horrors.
The fans at the scene are still cheering for the Lakers, but from the solemn look on the face of head coach Walton, you can know that the biggest crisis of the Lakers in this game is coming!
