Chapter 337: Hoggist's Conspiracy?
Hoggist jumped for the third time in a row, grabbed the rebound from the top of everyone's heads, and dribbled to the front court, but was pulled by McCarvey to stop the fast break as soon as he started. This action naturally could not escape the eyes of the referee, and after blowing the foul, the Bucks also made personnel changes, replacing Plumlee with Henson and McCarvey with Middleton.
McCarvey didn't seem to notice that the Bucks had committed a full foul when he fouled, and although the foul helped the team make personnel changes, it also sent Hougist to the free throw line. After hitting both free throws again, the Lakers took a 48-42 lead to six points.
Mayo calmly dribbled and ran to the frontcourt, directing his teammates to run at the top of the arc, and was going to distribute the ball to Henson, who was going to the free throw line, but he forgot to take aim and threw the ball directly into the arms of Jeremy Lin, who was defending him. Jeremy Lin, who was sent to the door for nothing, was polite, caught the ball and launched a fast-break counterattack directly, but when he received the ball and made a layup, Mayo made a ruthless move in order to make up for his mistakes, and did not hesitate to pay for the foul and knocked the ball away.
Jeremy Lin's hands were numb, and he asked Mayo with some displeasure: "Dude, as for being so strong?" β
Mayo nodded, "Don't be ruthless, do you want me to give you 2+1?" β
Seeing that the two were arguing, Hoggist hurriedly came up and pulled Jeremy Lin away, "Come on, come on, I'll rub my brother to dissipate my anger, this little thing won't make me angry." β
"I'm not really angry, but sometimes if you don't be hard, the opponent will treat you as a soft persimmon and keep bullying you!" Jeremy Lin quietly explained to Hoggist.
Standing on the free throw line, Jeremy Lin missed the first free throw, which made the foul Mayo secretly happy, Hougist came up and patted Jeremy Lin again, Shuhao stabilized his mentality, and the second free throw was smoothly shot into the basket.
May's Olympic ball against Jeremy Lin's defense, it seems that he wants to regain face by playing alone, but Jeremy Lin is very patient in defense, no matter how Mayo crossovers, Jeremy Lin has not lost his defensive position, even after blocking and dismantling the cover, he did not get any space to break through and shoot, and Mayo had to give the ball to Copeland in the bottom corner.
Copeland singled Randle, from the bottom corner map to the paint area, fully compressed the Lakers' defensive space, and then gave the ball to Henson, who was inserted in the middle, Henson followed Copeland's cover in the paint area and threw it directly, I have to say that Henson's hand is very soft, although the parabola of the ball is very high, but the ball smashed on the basket without a strong rebound, but directly turned on the hoop, but rolled out of the basket after two turns.
Hougist picked up the rebound and dribbled and counterattacked, seeing that there was no chance to control the ball in the front court to press time, suddenly Hoggist found that everyone's attention was on him, Kobe Bryant bypassed Turner and slipped the bottom line in the posture of a stalker and was not noticed by Middle, Hoggist threw the ball directly to the basket, but Kobe Bryant was old after all, and he could no longer easily complete the empty catch and dunk, so he could only catch the ball and go to the basket, Henson hurriedly turned back to make up for the defense, and knocked over Kobe Bryant directly in the air.
The leading referee on the baseline saw it clearly, but didn't think Henson was rushing, and only gave a normal shooting foul. The Bucks used the dead ball to replace Copeland with Parker. Bryant's free throws were always solid, and after making both free throws, the margin had stretched to nine points.
Hogist was thinking about defending a wave, and the next offense stretched the difference to more than 10 points, but he didn't expect the Bucks to have a complicated conduction in the three-point line, and accidentally passed the ball to the unmarked Mayo on the outside when he almost lost the ball.
It seems that the time to open up the score difference to double digits is going to be delayed again, so let's play steadily one goal at a time! Horgist dribbled to the front court, crossed over and crossed to Kobe, who jumped up quickly to catch the ball and threw it before Middleton could pounce, but he couldn't hit it.
Turner put the rebound outward, Hougist caught the ball and exited the three-point line to continue pressing time, Kobe Bryant reached out for the ball, Hoggist obediently handed the ball over, Kobe raised the ball and shook it, Middleton flew up, Kobe Bryant was short enough to make a shot, but Mayo made up for a layup.
Kobe Bryant continued to raise the ball and sway, Mayo was deceived again, Kobe dribbled and moved sideways to let Mayo prepare to really shoot, but Middleton, who was dangled before, went back around and sealed Kobe's shooting space, Kobe had to return the ball to Hoggist, Hougist received the ball with one hand with his right hand, directly pulled the ball behind him and hit the ground from the crotch through the dribble to the front of him, and used the technique of semi-volley in tennis when the ball just bounced off the ground, and quickly used his left hand to dribble the ball to Brother Alphabet's crotch again, Brother Alphabet subconsciously put his legs together, However, the landing point of Haugist's dribble this time was between Brother Alphabet's feet, and the action of his thigh not only could not intercept the ball, but made Brother Alphabet lose his flexibility.
The ball bounced through Brother Alphabet's defense, Brother Alphabet wanted to turn around to reach the ball, but forgot that his legs were together, this turn almost fell to the ground, Brother Alphabet hurriedly supported it with his hands. And this turn is equivalent to making way for Hoggist to make way to the inside line.
Horgist passed past his brother and continued to dribble to the basket, Henson stood outside the reasonable collision zone with his arms raised and prepared to make a foul on Horgist, but Horgist walked past Henson with a European step and distributed the ball to Turner from behind. Turner received the ball and dunked violently, and it was too late for Henson to turn back to defend, and Henson had to use a relatively large foul to prevent Turner from scoring.
Turner struggled at the free-throw line, hitting just one of two free throws, and Mayo had already committed three fouls, so Kidd had to send McCarvey again, who had just been replaced by a rest.
McCarvey dribbled to the front court, singled Henson in the elbow area, or the tactic of compressing the defense to create shooting space for the follow-up player, Henson burst into the paint area to distribute the ball to McCarvey who followed up behind him, McCarvey took a step inside the free throw line and threw the ball directly, but it seems that he has not rested well, this throw is obviously shorter and smashed in the front of the basket and fell, right in Turner's arms, Turner divides the ball Haugist to advance.
Hougist dribbled to the front court to Kobe, Kobe held the ball and pressed the palm of his hand to signal everyone to steady, and then handed the ball to Randle in the elbow area, at this time, Hoggist, who was on the weak side wing for Jeremy Lin to cover without the ball, suddenly gave up the cover and cut to the strong side along the free throw line, and then went down to the strong side of the low post, at this time Randle, who was holding the ball with his back, also passed the ball backwards from his side to the low post, and the unguarded Horgist received the ball and jumped up, and dunked the ball directly into the basket outside the paint area.
"You don't know when you suddenly threw out a subtle tactic, this is to make people crazy!" Brother Alphabet complained.
"You can always be on your guard!" Haugist replied.
Brother Alphabet shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Always vigilant? Whenever we play mental defense, you always play alone or simply cooperate on the offensive end, but as soon as we relax our vigilance, you always stage this exquisite coordination, which is simply impossible to prevent! β
"Even so, you can use your tactical coordination to trick us! Maybe I'll be the one complaining here! Haugist teased.
"You're bullying us, you don't have any sophisticated tactical coordination!" Brother Alphabet received the serve and gave it to McCarvey, and went to the frontcourt to settle down, Horgist guessed that this was because the Bucks were provoked by himself to play a new tactic, so he chased after Brother Alphabet. Coming up front, Middleton went around the weak side to the strong elbow to receive the ball, and Antetokounmpo moved from the middle to the weak side to open up space for his teammates.
McCarvey also slipped to the weak side after handing over the ball, Middleton held the ball in the elbow area fancy three threats, creating a lot of movement, attracting everyone's attention, at this time McCarvey suddenly accelerated, from behind Brother Alphabet around the air cut to the basket, Middleton threw the ball to the basket, McCarvey received the ball on the rebound, but was fanned down by a big hand behind him.
McCarvey turned around and saw that Haugist, who was defending the alphabet brother, actually let go of his defender directly to change his defense, and his shot fell into Kobe's hands after being blocked, Kobe Bryant glanced up at the timer, there were more than 40 seconds left in the first half, and at this time it was time to attack a wave and try to leave the last attack time for himself, so Kobe Bryant directly dribbled and launched a counterattack.
But Kobe Bryant was careless, and in the process of advancing the ball, he was unknowingly cut off the ball by Middleton close to his side. Middleton cut off the ball and went directly to Parker, who was still in the front court, Parker received the ball and flew away to dunk Randle, Randle naturally refused to obey, stretched out his arm to block with all his might, although Parker failed to complete the dunk in the end, but Randle was also whistled for a foul.
Parker's shooting was also a shortcoming, the first free throw collapsed far away, and the second time he hit the free throw. The remaining time was not enough for the Lakers to play two rounds, and Hoggist began to dribble at the top of the arc to press time, and Hoggist originally planned to press until the last whistle shot, even if he couldn't score, he could squeeze the opponent's offensive time to the maximum. Unexpectedly, the pressure time also pressed out a better result, Henson stood in the paint area for too long, and was actually blown off the defense for three seconds, and Horgist should have returned to 14 seconds after hitting the free throw, but the remaining offensive time was less than 14 seconds, and it was all owned by the Lakers.
Horgist continued to press the time, and burst Kobe Bryant with 6 seconds left, Kobe received the ball habitually raised the ball and shook it, Middleton thought it was too late, Kobe Bryant must have shot out of time if he was dying, so he jumped up and blocked without hesitation, but he didn't expect Kobe to really dangle a shot, dribble sideways and let Middleton take a quick shot, and threw the ball out before the lights came on, but because the shot was too hasty, he failed to hit the basket.
The score was fixed at 55:46 in the first half, the Lakers led by 9 points, and Hougist still failed to regain the efficiency of the winning streak in the first half, scoring 19 points, 4 assists and 6 rebounds on 6-of-10 shooting.
"I'll see you later, it's so much fun to play with you, and you can even forget the win or loss of the score, and simply immerse yourself in the fun of playing! I'll show you how to do it in the second half! "For the first time before going back to the dressing room, he grabbed Hoggist to talk, and this kind of harmonious picture usually only occurs after the game.
Some audience members even asked the people around them with some confusion and concern, "Was Giannis stupid by Haugist?" It's only half time, and the game isn't over yet! Why did he take the initiative to run to shake hands? β
There are also people who shout at you in the stadium, "Giannis, the second half hasn't been played yet!" However, it was drowned out by the noise in the arena.
Hoggist also smiled and replied: "You can come to the Western team, we can play at least four games a season, and of course you can join the Lakers, so we can play at least eighty-six games a year!" β
"86? You were taught math by your PE teacher, right? There are only 82 games in the regular season! Brother Alphabet was stunned for a moment, not understanding how Hoggist counted.
"The regular season is 82 games, aren't we going to play the playoffs? No matter how bad I am at leading the team, how can I guarantee a playoff ticket! "Hoggist is so confident that it even sounds a little arrogant. γγγ
Brother Alphabet calculated in his heart, "Then 86 games is 82 regular season games plus 4 playoffs and it's over?" Isn't this a miserable sweep in the first round of the playoffs? β
Hoggist pretended to smile mysteriously, "You don't know this, these 82 games in the regular season must be played, but the playoffs are not easy to say, at least 4 consecutive defeats in a round, and winning more can play more, but before you play, predict how many games you can play, this kind of behavior is more defeating, so in order to save character, I will calculate the minimum number of games." You can believe it or not, but it's best not to try to challenge it! β
ββ¦β¦ I can't understand you kid anymore, mature technology, naΓ―ve thinking, and a bit of a magic stick, what kind of monster are you? Brother Alphabet shook his head.
But Hoggist laughed and said, "Human nature is so complicated! So we should make friends with our hearts, not just label them randomly, right? β
"It looks like no matter what the result of the game is today, I have made up your friend!" Brother Alphabet also laughed and waved, and walked to the players' tunnel.
In the locker room, Shashewski asked curiously: "Haugist, your way of making friends is really strange, how can you be so dedicated to chatting with your opponent on the field?" β
"Isn't my state unaffected!" "But Giannis is different, although I really want to be friends with him, but to be honest, he scored a total of 6 points on 2-of-5 shooting in the first half, but it's all my credit, right?" If you want to say that one heart and two uses to affect the state, that's Brother Alphabet, I have to call it killing two birds with one stone, friends are friends, and the game is won. β
