Chapter 244: Three doubles at half-time
"They are the absolute authority on the pitch, and Spurs' Timothy was ejected from the bench by the referee without listening to the excuse after a few laughs on the bench. All I can say is, I'm sorry! They have a whistle guy who can really do whatever he wants on the field! Bryant smiled and shook his head and sighed.
Hoggist still couldn't get angry when he thought about it, "How upset to think about this kind of thing, I announce that I'm already angry, and I'm going to kill next!" ”
"It's just a technical foul, as far as that's concerned? You've got a long time in the league, and you need to get used to the discrimination. Jeremy Lin came out to persuade.
Hoggist shook his head, "No, the league needs to get used to my strength, and the referee needs to get used to me using my strength to retaliate for his unfair blowing, not for me to get used to them!" ”
"Okay, you kid has a kind, I'm optimistic about you!" Bryant liked Hoggist's attitude and patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.
Hougist looked at Kobe gratefully, "I thought no one but Cousins could understand my 'true temperament'!" ”
At the end of the timeout, the Timberwolves kicked the ball on the sideline, and Giang drove the ball to Rubio in the middle very casually, but Haugist let go of Wiggins from the diagonal spur, took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, intercepted the ball in the moment before the ball passed to Rubio's hand, and went down to the front court as fast as lightning, and smashed the ball into the basket with the free throw line jumping wheel arm.
At this time, the momentum on Haugist's body was completely different from before, and he did not have the laziness just now, and became very aggressive.
The Timberwolves regrouped and hit the frontcourt, and this time Towns pulled directly out to the wing to hold the ball and prepare to attack. Turner, who defended Downs, suffered from speed after all, and Downs just raised his hand and lit Turner. Seeing Turner shake, Downs dribbled and moved sideways for a step, then calmly shot and hit a three-pointer.
The Lakers attacked the frontcourt, it was still Jeremy Lin who controlled the ball, Hougist went straight to the basket from the middle, borrowed Yi Jianlian to cover the basket and ran back to the bottom corner on the right side, and Wiggins, who shook off the defense, received Jeremy Lin's pass in the bottom corner and also hit the empty three-point shot.
When Hougist retreated, LaVine came to his side and asked, "Boss, you can score a three-point shot directly in front of Wiggins, right?" Why do you want to run without the ball in one fell swoop? ”
Hoggist didn't care about the leak either, and directly told LaVine, "I'm going to shoot the ball in the safest way, and I'm not going to miss a single shot for the rest of the second quarter." I don't want to spend any more time with you, and I'm going to take you away in waves at this moment. ”
"To be honest, boss, you don't have the ball, you don't organize the offense, you only do a point, in fact, the threat is far less than you playing point guard, if you want to push us off in waves, I think it's more difficult!" Ravan was not convinced of Hoggist's intentions.
Hoggist smiled: "Then let you see what a simple and efficient basketball is!" ”
The Timberwolves tasted the sweetness on Towns, and the ball was handed over to Downs again, but this time Turner and Yi Jianlian changed defenses, Yi Jianlian's defensive footsteps were flexible, Downs couldn't shake Yi Jianlian, so he had to break through the basket, although he was equal to Yi Jianlian in strength, but Yi Jianlian's height advantage was more obvious, and the ball bounced out of the basket under Yi Jianlian's interference.
Impatient, Hougist contracted inside to rush for the rebound, and after dialing the ball to Jeremy Lin, Hoggist flew down quickly without hesitation. Wiggins and LaVine followed Horgist left and right to prevent him from receiving the ball.
Hoggist attracted a double bag, which naturally created a space for Kobe Bryant to sell, and Kobe Bryant came to the front court slowly, received a pass from Jeremy Lin and shot a three-point jumper, but this ball was uncharacteristically unable to score.
Hoggist was still actively involved in the interior to grab the frontcourt rebounds under the pressure of the left and right "protectors", but the ball was obtained by Downs in the melee. Before the ball was hot in Downs' hands, Horgist saw the right time to cut the ball down, arched Downs with his ass under the basket and hit the basket directly on the backlay.
Towns was very uncomfortable by Yi Jian's defense, and the Timberwolves' offense began to suffer one after another, but Hougist's off-ball running route was designed to be as precise as a mechanical watch, and he was always able to successfully pass through some seemingly impossible gaps, easily shake off Wiggins, who was following the defense, and get an open shot.
The Timberwolves had no choice but to replace Gieng with Bjelica and Wiggins to wrap Haugist, and then the inside line was left with Downs two fists and four hands, Haugist played the role of a transit station, and after attracting Bjelica to help the defense, he used treacherous and changeable techniques to pass the ball into the interior from various impossible angles, and Turner and Yi Jianlian took turns bombing the basket above Downs' head with their physical strength.
Although Kobe Bryant still didn't get many opportunities to shoot in the last few minutes, Hoggist still got a lot of assists by relying on the inside line to score points under the basket.
At halftime, the Lakers did pull away again as Hoggist expected, and at 71:57, the Lakers led by 14 points. In the locker room, Lao K picked up the statistics sent by the technical desk, first gasped, and then showed a natural expression, "Haugist, your debut has been 99% successful, and even if you can't get any data, as long as we win the game, it will be a huge victory!" ”
Coach Lao K posted the technical statistics on the tactical board for everyone to watch, and Hoggist also scored 16 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals efficiently in the second quarter, totaling 30+10+10+3+3 in the first half. The teammates were a little dumbfounded, cutting a 30+ triple-double at halftime, which was even more amazing than last year's McCarvey, and this was only the first half, if Hoggist can maintain this form, wouldn't it be to surpass the record of 58 points in his rookie season set by the old hooligan Chamberlain in the data world?
"14 shots in the first half is actually normal, but 12 shots are very abnormal! There are a lot of people who are 12 of 14 in the whole game, but this kind of shooting rate can be maintained until the end in the half, and Lao Tzu has only seen Jordan's 24 of 29. Lao Tzu averaged 27.2 shots per game in the 05-06 season and could only hit 12.2 goals! Bryant was shocked and stunned by Hogist's efficiency.
"The boss begs to blow lightly, I can't compare with you! Who doesn't know that the attack of the 06 branch is invincible in the world, and most of the goals are forced shots by teammates at the end of the offensive time. I'm thankful for the goals today and it's all easyballs, thanks to my team-mates! If you have these teammates and coaches, I guess the '06 championship is in your pocket! Hoggist hurriedly humbled himself.
"It seems that the various scoring records I have left behind in the Lakers in the past 20 years are going to be broken by you one by one, and I heard that you also have a nickname called the record smasher, which seems to be well deserved!" Kobe Bryant adjusted the ice pack on his knee, "It seems that I'm really old, I can't accept it!" ”
"Boss, don't say that, after all, I just entered the league and have little experience, and I am still in the stage of playing by instinct, and my control of the rhythm of the game is not in place, so I still need more guidance from you in the future!" Hougist said.
The rest of the team was embarrassed to hear it, Nick. Yang said with a little dissatisfaction: "If you can brush three doubles in half a game by instinct, wouldn't we people have to die of shame?" ”
Horgist was not so polite to him, and spread his hands and said: "There's no need to be ashamed because I'm better than you, it's because I'm talented, but who doesn't want to go further?" ”
Coach K nodded, "Hoggist's idea is very good, but experience can only increase slowly with the increase in the number of games, but it is also in a hurry, you can slowly experience it on the field!" ”
There was a harmonious discussion in the Lakers' locker room, while the Timberwolves were a bit noisy in the locker room, with teammates even pointing fingers at each other. In particular, Coach Michelle looked at the statistics with a complaining expression, "Is this TM written wrong?" Hoggist got a triple-double in the first half, maybe this is the strongest rookie of the 21st century, right? The same is the champion...... Alas! ”
Wiggins saw that Michelle looked at him unkindly, and heard the sigh in his words, and the resentment in his heart was poured out by Haugist's half-time, "The opponent's strength is so strong, it's useless for you to complain about me, I have already shown 100% strength, and you have also seen how good I played when Haugist was not there." Besides, it's the same champion produced by UNLV, and there are even worse! Bennett is also the champion, and he was on our team last year, why didn't he you off? ”
"Is that what you do talking to the manager?" Michelle retorted.
"I've never seen this kind of coach who is helpless when he encounters difficulties and starts to share the blame for losing after only half the game!" Not to be outdone, Wiggins retorted.
At this time, Garnett, who had the most power to speak in the locker room, stood up and spoke: "Don't fight, I want to see that we have a problem with our defensive thinking, we always want to defend everyone in the opponent, which gives Hoggist a chance." ”
Coach Michelle was confused, "Shouldn't we guard everyone on the other side?" ”
"It's good to be able to prevent it, but if there is a gap in strength, it really can't be prevented, and there must be a trade-off!" Garnett said.
"So we should guard against their strongest point, Haugist!" Coach Michelle said assumedly.
"Have you noticed that we use the way of helping to defend the bag, and the assistant defenders have to change wherever Hoggist goes, that is to say, regardless of whether our bag can prevent Hoggist, the remaining four players of the Lakers may be missed, and we are equivalent to missing four people in order to prevent one person, which is simply a disaster on the defensive end!" Garnett tried to explain the issue in detail to his teammates and coaches.
"Then you mean to prevent the other four from being killed, and let Hoggist attack alone? Isn't that even more tragic? "The first time a young Downs heard of this theory, it was incredible.
Ganeji nodded, "No matter how strong Haugist is, he will never exceed four people, and his teammates on the field can be rotated, and Hougist has only one, his physical strength may be able to pass the ball for 48 minutes, but can he attack for 48 minutes in a row?" When pigs fly! So we just need to cut off his connection with the other four on the defensive end, let him fall into the quagmire of individual singles, the players who defend him try to consume his physical strength, and on the offensive end we sacrifice Wiggins to lead him to the bottom corner, and the other four play our offensive routine normally, even if we let Hoggist brush sixty or seventy points alone, I'm afraid they won't win, right? ”
Garnett's words made the Timberwolves suddenly brighten up, Jiang is still old and spicy, this is Garnett's 21st season, and it seems that he is far more experienced than Coach Michelle.
Coming back in the second half, the two sides switched back to the starting line-up, and Hoggist picked up the responsibility of organizing the attack from the beginning, but he smelled something unusual.
Horgist held the ball at the top of the arc and planned to connect his teammates first, but found that all four teammates were stuck to death and had no chance to catch the ball at all. Hougist didn't understand the Timberwolves' intentions, but since he gave himself a one-on-one chance, he couldn't let it go!
Hougist pulled the ball down his crotch and turned around and easily shook it past Prince to enter the inside line, wanting to use the breakthrough to attract the opponent's interior defense, and then distribute the ball to his teammates who were released, but Downs and Garnett bit Turner and Yi Jianlian and let go, and would rather let Haugist go straight to Huanglong than come up to make up for the defense.
Hoggist did not hesitate, and flew directly to split the buckle. But just when he was holding the ball and was close to the basket, Downs pounced, I have to say, Downs's timing was very accurate, and the momentum was fierce, Hougist expected that it would be difficult for him to avoid the block with a hard bow, so he had to collect the ball and pull the rod to avoid Downs's block, and hit the ball in the rebound.
"You scared me! How did you change to the Lewd Stream Surprise Attack tactic in the second half? Hougist said to Downs after he landed.
"Hehe, that's not a special tactic, it's just a stroke of genius on my whim, how about it, did I almost stop you!" Downs replied pretending to follow Hoggist's words.
"I won't fall for you again next time!" Hougist said as he turned and ran towards the backfield.
"Don't worry! We have a lot of this kind of small means to consume your physical and mental strength! Downs thought to himself. Wiggins came to the frontcourt, and in the face of Hoggist's defense, he was unwilling to just squat in the bottom corner to contain Hoggist, so he walked back and forth between the two bottom corners along the baseline, and forced himself to play while consuming Hoggist's physical strength.
Although Hougist felt that Wiggins's brainless movement regardless of the situation on the court was meaningless, he couldn't ignore it.
Here Wiggins took Haugist to run back along the baseline, and Towns hit another three-pointer at the top of the arc.
"Tall people really have a unique advantage in practicing long-range shooting, and this shot height is too difficult to be blocked! In other words, why did Downs work three points? Do you want to imitate my style of play? Oh my God, could it be that I was abused twice at the McDonald's All-Star Game and the NCAA Tournament and made him fall in love with Stockholm syndrome? Hoggist was bored with Wiggins and began to think wildly. At the same time, a conspiracy designed by the Timberwolves against Hoggist has quietly unfolded.
