Chapter 312: Lack of physical strength, ball skills to make up
The basket announced with a crisp iron sound that it rejected Yi Jianlian's three-pointer. But now the Pacers are clustered under the basket of four players who are around 6'9", and Hougist has the advantage of his arm span and easily grabs the rebound from the crowd. Seeing Marcinmi shrink back to grab the rebound, Hougist gave the ball to Yi Jianlian again. This time, Yi Jianlian lived up to everyone's hopes, and once again resolutely shot and hit three points.
The score was tied at 11, Coach Vogel had no intention of calling a timeout, and continued to play by the players on the field, Pickled Pepper asked for the ball again at the top of the arc to prepare to play Haugist, Hougist did not give Pickled Pepper any safe distance, and when the ball passed to Pickled Pepper's hand, Hougist pounced and clinged to Pickled Pepper.
Pickled Pepper held the ball and tried to shake off Picklest with a three-threat move, but Howgist stuck tighter, reaching out and trying to poke the ball out of Pickles' hand. Pickled pepper shook the ball in both hands and shook the bright iron elbow to make Hoggist retreat, but Hoggist was even more shameless, it was indeed "shameless", because Hougist directly greeted him with his face.
Pickled Pepper's elbow smashed into Howist's face, and Howist, in order to relieve the force, fell out in the direction of Pickled Pepper's elbow, so that the damage of the elbow strike could be minimized. And the referee saw it really and gave Pickled Pepper an offensive foul again. Pickles picked up two consecutive fouls on the offensive end, and Coach Vogel had to replace him with another nervous pitcher, C.J. Myers.
This rotation has made the Pacers' roster a lot shorter, but there is no way to do it, the Pacers have been strengthened in the offseason, and the backcourt has a cloud of masters, but the height is not dominant, and the No. 3 position is only 6 feet 7 inches Solomon. Hill's height is barely qualified, but many outstanding players in the backcourt have squeezed his playing time, and even if the Lakers replaced Randle for Blake, the forward line still did not fall behind.
But as the so-called ruler is short, the inch is long, the Pacers' small lineup is flexible in the face of today's fatigue Lakers instead of dominating, three small guards on the outside constantly running and passing the ball, intensified the physical exertion of the Lakers players, and soon C.J., who just came on the court, tore the Lakers' defense from the top of the arc to the basket, although failed to send the ball to the basket, but caused a foul by Blake, who made up for the defense.
The Lakers changed players again, replacing Jeremy Lin, who also had the same physical strength slot, and replaced Nick, who was still quite full of physical strength... Although J. caused a foul, but the two free throw opportunities were wasted by him, and the point difference did not change in any way, Yi Jianlian picked up the rebound and gave Hougist to organize the offense.
Horgist hoisted the ball to Yi Jianlian in the low post, Yi Jianlian saw that he had his back to attract Ellis's bag in the bottom corner, so he raised his hand to distribute the ball to the empty reed, and the reed raised his hand to shoot, but Jiao Zhixi on the wing quickly turned around to make up for the defense, and the reed gave the ball to Nick on the flank. Poplar.
C.J. at the top of the arc immediately continued to pounce on the defense, but Nick Young didn't care about that set and jumped up quickly to shoot a three-pointer before C.J. was in place, but Nick Young, who had just come on the court, obviously hadn't found his crosshairs yet, and the ball swiped out of the basket. Yi Jianlian was put down in a steal under the basket, but Hougist took advantage of C.J.'s change of defense to rush directly into the interior from the top of the arc, jumped high to catch the ball with both hands and violently smashed the basket.
When Hougist dunked, he seemed to hear the referee's whistle, and after landing, he found that his teammates and fans were not excited but regretful, and then looked at the referee's gesture, Masimmi was whistled for grabbing the rebound and fouled, and Hoggist's dunk was after the whistle, so the goal was invalid.
"Alas! That's a five-best ball! It's blown away by you! Hoggist walked over to the lead referee and said regretfully.
Today's referee is a middle-aged white woman, and her attitude towards Hougist is much gentler than the previous male referees who blew up at a point, she patted Hoggist's chest and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm sure you can complete a more wonderful dunk!" ”
But after the female referee finished speaking, she put the whistle in her mouth and blew it again, Hoggist was startled, this aunt shouldn't be a smiling tigress, right? Just chatted with me kindly, and turned his head to blow my technical foul? However, the gesture of the female referee instantly relieved Haugist, and it turned out that Pacers head coach Vogel applied for a timeout.
"Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, I know that continuous flying and back-to-back are really hard, but these are the problems that we will often encounter in the long regular season, I hope you can get used to playing back-to-back as soon as possible, haven't we taken a small long vacation recently? In all fairness, you should have plenty of stamina! Shashewski kept clapping his hands to motivate everyone to develop their potential, and he could see that the problem in defense was not in the tactical arrangement, but in the physical strength of the players, and even the physical monster Haugist was not as active in assisting and supplementing the defense as before.
"Maybe it's because of the holiday, the physical reserves have dropped a lot, and the legs are like lead!" Randall grumbled.
"I said Julie, do you have something to say? Your physical energy has been consumed so much during the holidays, isn't it crazy hehehe? "Hoggist is not active in supplementing and assisting in defense, but he is very active in teasing his teammates, after all, it doesn't consume much energy to move his mouth.
Randall gave Haugist a blank look, "No matter how good I play, I can't possibly have more stamina than you have spent training all day!" Who is as incomprehensible as you and doesn't play basketball with your daughter-in-law! ”
"That's why I was the best in the league as soon as I got in, and you're not the best in the rookies." Hoggist shrugged his shoulders and said triumphantly.
"Are you really happy with this?" Randall asked helplessly.
Haugist smiled even more proudly, "Do you think I'm as happy as you think?" Big brother, you can't imagine my happiness! ”
The whole team was amused by the conversation between the two, Shaoqing Shashevsky restrained his smile, cleared his throat and said solemnly: "How do you two use your strength to lift the bar on the field?" ”
"Am I not working hard enough? I've always been the hardest working player on the pitch! Hougist defended himself.
Shashewski shook his head dissatisfiedly, "Your supplementary defense and assistance defense have dropped at least one notch before, may I ask you if this is a physical problem or a motivation problem?" ”
"It's a problem of low motivation due to lack of physical strength!" Randall made up the knife at the right time.
"Or the ball gives you Carry?" Hougist turned his head to ask Randall, but his smile was murderous.
Randall instantly shrank his eggs, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't don't, how to fight still has to be arranged by the coach!" ”
The way of chatting did ease the fatigue of the Lakers generals, and after the timeout, Hougist sent a sideline ball directly to Yi Jianlian to send an aerial relay, because the Pacers replaced center Masimmy and replaced Lavoy. Allen, Joan Jordan. Hill was pushed to the No. 5 position, and the Pacers' roster height was further reduced, so Yi Jianlian easily jumped over the heads of the Pacers' two interior linemen to complete an empty dunk.
The Pacers also replaced Jiao Zhixi with a Filipino Jordan who was "earned" from the Lakers - Jordan. Clarkson. Clarkson performed very well in the Lakers last year and was a potential two-way guard, but unfortunately the Lakers were lucky to get Hoggist, and had to give up on him in order to build a lineup with Hoggist as the core. The audience at the scene still had a lot of feelings for Clarkson, and there was a burst of cheers on the sidelines after he got the ball.
However, Clarkson is now a Pacers player and will play for the Pacers as much as he can when he gets on the court. Hill blocked and dismantled the cover and then broke through the inside line and then distributed the ball outside, and had a "Jordan connection" with the mid-range boy. Hill hit a mid-range shot to score two points with ease.
Hoggist also concocted the same method for Nick. Young made an off-ball cover, Nick Young ran from the bottom corner of the strong side to the top of the arc, borrowed Hougist's cover and moved to the weak wing, and Hougist raised his hand to ask for the ball while moving to the low post after blocking the man, attracting C.J. and Ellis to the bag, but Nick Young was empty. Reed cleverly passed the ball to Nick in the open space. Yang, Nick. Young hit a jumper straight from the elbow zone.
The Pacers put Clarkson and Ellis in the backcourt, and then count C.J., all of them are masters of chaos and singles, which doomed the Pacers' second team to be unable to play complex offensive tactics, Clarkson held the ball and singled, and after shaking off the reeds, he made a pull-up jumper, but the ball did not hit the basket.
Hoggist grabbed the rebound and pushed the counterattack, and after a short stop at the top of the arc, he forced the inside, the Pacers contracted very hard, Yi Jianlian saw the opportunity to withdraw from the inside line to the bottom corner, trying to open up space for Hoggist, but Jordan. Hill's attention was all on Hoogist, and he didn't even notice that Yi Jianlian was no longer behind him. Relying on his height and long arms, Hougist jumped up directly halfway and distributed the ball to Yi Jianlian in the bottom corner, but unfortunately Yi Jianlian wasted this great opportunity and failed to throw in this empty three-point.
Although Jordan. Hill let go of Yi Jianlian in the bottom corner, but kept the rebound sent by Yi Jianlian, gave the ball to Clarkson, Philippine Jordan dribbled to promote the fast attack counterattack, and took the lead in the inside, but the Lakers captain was like a cloud, Clarkson seemed to rush into the primeval forest, looking up at the arms that covered the sky, although he didn't find a chance to shoot, but the relatively short and flexible Clarkson went around in a circle on the inside and retreated, and in the process of dribbling out, Clarkson passed the ball to find Ellis, Unfortunately, Ellis' three-point routine on the wing didn't hit the basket.
Yi Jianlian received a rebound to find Hogist, Hougist had run to the center line, after receiving the ball, he rushed directly to the basket, this time C.J. was not out of position, but he didn't know whether it was wishful thinking or a sudden short circuit in the brain, and actually tried to make a Hoggist offensive foul during the march, this kind of standing without reserving a distance was naturally blown by the referee to block the foul, because the number of fouls was full, Hogist stood directly on the free throw line. So far, Hoggist has not missed a free throw, and is currently 69 of 69 free throws, and Hoggist will naturally not miss these two goals.
Coach Vogel replaced Ellis, and although C.J. performed well on the offensive end, he couldn't cope with Hougist's misplaced body type on the defensive end, so Vogel had to send the barely qualified Solomon Hill to defend Hougist and return C.J. to his familiar No. 2 position.
Clarkson dribbled to the front court, borrowed Solomon to cover and break through the inside, and Hougist changed defense in time to force him to the bottom corner, but Clarkson was indeed bold enough, and actually passed the ball directly from the crotch of Hougist to the basket in the middle of the march. Allen received the ball and jumped up directly, dunked the ball into the basket through Blake.
It was the first time that Hougist was successfully pierced by someone, and he couldn't hold his face in front of so many home spectators, so he dribbled and rushed to the opposite side directly under the basket, facing Solomon's defense, Hougist signaled to the reeds to come up and block the demolition. Reed was stunned when he saw Hoggist's hint, he was so "thin", he actually asked me to block and dismantle him? Isn't that my life?
However, the command on the field is in Haugist, and he did not dare to disobey the reed when he gave an order, and in desperation, the reed came up to cover Haugist, but Hougist did not use it in time, but hesitated to dribble beside the reed. Seeing this, Clarkson came up to Solomon to trap Haugist, but Hougist seemed to be waiting for this opportunity, and an acceleration forced his way through the crack in the door of the two's bag, rushing into the inside line with a fake pass to deceive Jordan who opened the defense. Hill, smashing the ball into the basket with all the strength he could take.
Clarkson got up from the ground and saw that the referee didn't say anything, so he realized that Haugist was trying to attract himself to come up and wrap up, so as to avenge the crotch piercing just now. This guy really doesn't suffer at all! Rubbing his aching chest from being hit by Haugist, Clarkson dribbled and slowly moved forward.
"Big brother, don't you suddenly magnify your moves, okay? There was no hint at all, and it scared me a lot when I asked you to cover up, and I thought you were going to let me out! Reed grumbled to Hoggist.
"I'm a good guy, I never sacrifice my teammates to achieve my goals, and I'm good enough to do them!" Hougist said to the reed proudly, and before the words fell, Hoggist moved like a rabbit, suddenly ran out, cut off the ball in Clarkson's hand from the front death entanglement, and rushed to the front court again to complete a wonderful hit and self-dunking.
At 21:15, the Lakers led by six points, and Hougist seemed to find his groove on the offensive end, with 2:55 left in the first quarter, Coach Vogel called a timeout, hoping to stop Hoggist's momentum. Shashewski did give Vogel a face, and directly replaced Haugist to rest during this period, giving the Pacers a chance to breathe. In the first quarter, the difference was not opened again, and the bench lineup of Shuangfeng was evenly matched to 27:21, which was still a 6-point gap.
