Chapter 270: The Second Week is the Best

"Your setup is a bit aggressive, but it doesn't sound like anything wrong, but are you really sure you can keep Bosh at bay?" Shashefsky asked.

"It shouldn't be a problem, he's not as heavy as Anthony, and his technical style of play is better for me. If he is like Cousins, I would never dare to be hard! "Hoggist thinks that his defensive skills should be among the best in the league, and his defense against Bosh is sufficient.

"Okay, let's try the lineup tomorrow afternoon." Coach K approved Hougist's plan, since the Lakers are aiming for the championship this year, they should try more lineup possibilities on this kind of opponent who is not strong, including speeding up against slow teams, keeping up with fast Warriors, or limiting the speed of the Warriors, etc., which are all places that need to be carefully prepared, if you want to win the championship, potential opponents are the Rockets, Spurs, Clippers, Warriors, Cavaliers, each team has its own distinctive style, and it is difficult to deal with, if you can't find an effective coping strategy, Every game of the playoffs is going to be an ordeal.

On Monday morning, the league announced the best players of the second week in the East and West, still old faces, the Pistons' Zhuangshen Drummond led the team to 2 wins and 1 loss with 22 points, 24.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.7 blocks, and won the Eastern Conference Weekly Championship. averaged 28 points, 12.7 assists, 7 rebounds, 3.7 steals and 1 block per game, winning all three games, but still beating James Harden's 38.5 points, 5.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks.

At first, fans were still complaining about Harden, but Harden averaged 5.8 turnovers per game in these four games, and the assist-to-turnover ratio even fell below 1, and after high-level calculations, Harden's true shooting percentage in these four games was only 62.7. No matter how terrible Hoggist's assist-to-turnover ratio is as high as 12.7, his true shooting percentage is as high as 98.3 to the league, and even the second-place Curry 75.8 is difficult to match, this shooting efficiency is simply terrible.

Harden's high scoring comes from the high number of shots, and Hoggist seized every scoring opportunity as much as possible, using less than half of Harden's shots to get his 70% points, and everyone can see that the decline in the three games in the second week is entirely because Hoggist spent the opponent and let himself lose the opportunity to play in the fourth quarter. Many fans are speculating whether Hoggist will cut an average of 50+ points per game if he can get the same number of shots as Harden, which is not the magic and Jordan of the new era, but the reincarnation of the data monster Chamberlain!

And Hoggist has averaged 31.8 points, 15.8 assists, 9 rebounds, 5.5 steals and 1.8 blocks per game so far this season, and the true shooting rate is as high as 99.7, so far the highest true shooting rate record of more than 30 points per game this season is 66.1 set by Jazz player Dantley in the 82-83 season.

The Lakers started with 6 consecutive wins, which is the best record since the start of the 2010-11 season with 8 consecutive wins, and Lakers fans are excited to re-emerge before Kobe Bryant's retirement, optimistic fans expect that the Lakers should be able to play a wave of 13 consecutive wins before meeting the Warriors, after all, the next opponents are on the verge of the playoffs or even the lottery zone, if it can really be achieved, it will also surpass the Lakers' 97-98 season opening 11 consecutive team records, as for the victory over the Warriors, Even the most naïve Lakers fans would not dare to dream such sweet dreams.

Hoggist's flawless performance once again won over his teammates, and they did not hesitate to praise Hoggist, who generously agreed to invite the whole team to the owner Jenny after the home game against the Pistons after returning to Los Angeles at the weekend. Bass, down to the team's security staff having dinner at Fulin Restaurant, one of the best Cantonese seafood restaurants in Los Angeles.

After lunch, the well-recuperated players were gathered in the training hall to start preparing for tomorrow's game, and many players had some objections to the new lineup and new style of play that Shashewski had released, although they believed that no matter how the starters played, even if the pit was out of the sky, the substitutes could definitely fill the hole, but everyone still expressed great concern about letting Hoggist keep an eye on Bosh. Some feel that Hoggist can't defend against Bosh, while others feel that Hoggist can defend against Bosh but is too expensive and could have a hard time playing back-to-back games against the Magic the day after tomorrow.

Hoggist said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about the starting lineup, it can only represent our playing style and tactics in the first few minutes, and the rotation adjustment does not have to be based on this lineup as the core change." The start was not good, so we will switch back to the twin towers and grind slowly with them. ”

The players let go of their worries, but at the same time, they also found that Hoggist's ideas were indeed flexible and imaginative, and having someone like him involved in the tactical design of every game was definitely enough for the opposing coaching staff to drink. The Lakers have practiced a lot of lineup combinations before the season, and the afternoon is just to refamiliarize everyone with the tactical coordination. In the exercise, everyone finally understood the source of Hoggist's self-confidence, Yi Jianlian imitated Bosh's style of play against Hogist, and was cut by Hoggist to cry without tears, although Yi Jianlian and Bosh still have a gap in ability, but everyone has great confidence in Hoggist's restriction of Bosh.

The next day, the Lakers players walked into the American Airlines arena with confidence, and the players who usually have a better relationship would meet and chat when the players on both sides warmed up, Kobe Bryant chatted with Wade, but he didn't want Hoggist to follow him to the Heat halfcourt.

"Dwayne, how's it going? Big Brother Chris...... Belch...... Uncle Udonis, 12 years of championship parade goodbye, long time gone. Because he and Wade belong to the same players of Li Ning Company, Hoggist and Wade have met a few times in the promotional activities, and they are relatively familiar, so they called their names directly, but Hogist didn't know what to call the two Bosh Haslem, who was still a high school student when they celebrated with them in the float parade in 12 years, but now he is the hottest new member of the league.

"You're the high school kid LeBron brought in on the parade float in '12?" Bosh and Haslem recognized Haugist. Even Wade, who has had a few encounters with Hoggist, is also waking up from a dream.

LeBron didn't make a special introduction when the float parade was before, and Hougist was still young, and he had been with LeBron's son, they thought that Hoggist was a friend brought by LeBron Jr., and they didn't pay too much attention to him, they were all immersed in the excitement of winning the championship, and after LeBron left the Heat, they didn't have much to do with each other, so when Hoggist entered the league, they only thought he was a future star. It wasn't until today that they discovered that the teenager had grown into the biggest threat to the entire league.

"I didn't expect you to be the child back then, and my son specially asked me to ask you for an autograph! He doesn't like to wear my Wade's way now, and every day his feet are your 'Tianzuo' and 'Wenhai', if Zaire knew that you had seen it a long time ago, I don't know how he would feel! Wade laughed.

"I've heard of Zaire's name, I've heard that he is now over 6 feet old at 12 years old, and he is already considered the strongest junior high school student in the United States. It's so much better than I was back then, and when I was in high school, no one recognized me when I left Nevada. Hoggist laughed to himself.

"Hey, what's the first in the United States, it's all the media that don't think it's a big deal, in my eyes he's still a child, but I can't hold it anymore!" Wade said modestly.

Hogist looked around for a while, but didn't see Zaire, "Didn't Ling Lang come to see the game today?" ”

"He's got a game tonight, so he can't come, and he feels very sorry, Zaire deliberately wore the starting version of Tianzuo tonight, and he hopes to be as invincible on the field as you are." When it comes to his son, Wade's face is full of happiness.

"I'm not far from being invincible!" Hougist gave a rare shy expression.

"I've watched your first few games, and Mero can't do anything about you, I think there are probably very few people in the entire league who can limit you and people who can get rid of your restrictions, right? For my son's sake, you have to be merciful tonight! Wade quipped.

"Hmm...... Well, let's wait and see! Maybe you can still put on a good performance? Of course, Hoggist will not reveal the team's new tactics here, so he has a Tai Chi with Wade and a few others.

Sure enough, Wade was taken aback by the opening jump ball, especially Bosh, after all, he is also the best in the league, thinking much more deeply than others, if some ordinary power forwards are replaced, most of them will laugh at Hoggist's incompetence, but Bosh thinks that since Hoggist dares to defend him, he must have a certain certainty. Bosh could see from Hoggist's speech and demeanor just now that he was a smart person, and he believed that Hoggist would never do anything stupid, so Bosh had already doubled his vigilance against Hoggist's movements when he jumped the ball.

Big White won the jump ball easily, Bosh received the ball and handed it to Dragic, Wade was really relieved at this time, it seems that Hoggist is really going to deal with Bosh, and whether Bosh can handle Haugist or not, at least my side is much safer! Why don't you let me do the first ball!

Wade asked for the ball on the flank, and Dragic handed the ball to Wade without saying a word, and he pulled into the bottom corner to make room for Wade's breakthrough. Wade held the ball against Kobe, and the duel between the two veterans was also the duel between the all-time second SG and the all-time third SG.

Wade kept switching dribbles and tried to take advantage of the tempo change to get past Kobe, but how could Kobe be so easy to fool? In the face of Wade's feints, Kobe Bryant was always indifferent, and in desperation, Wade had to call Bai Bian to come over and block the dismantling in the middle.

Compared with the breakthrough, Wade's long-range projection is indeed a shortcoming, and Kobe Bryant calmly chose to defend around the back. The height gap between Wade and the white side and the inconsistency of his long-range shooting prevented him from shooting directly behind the screen like Anthony did, so Wade distributed the ball to Bosh who pulled out from the inside to the elbow zone.

Bosh was already careful to guard against Hoggist, but the ball was almost broken off the touchline. Bosh retreated to the outside of the three-point line on the wing to hold the ball, and wanted to shoot directly, but Hoggist stood in front of him, and his extended arm could completely interfere with his shot, so Bosh raised the ball and dribbled a shot, lowering his center of gravity to try to force Haugist.

Hoggist was about to laugh stupidly in his heart, Bosh such a big man broke through in front of me, this is a sheep into the tiger's mouth, Hoggist was about to cut the ball, but Bosh also seemed to feel the danger, just took a step and hurriedly braked his body and turned around and began to hit back, Hoggist resisted Bosh hard, and found that Bosh's strength was not as good as Anthony's after careful feeling, and he was not as hard as the day before yesterday, and he didn't even need too advanced skills to prevent Bosh's back hit.

Bosh hit his back twice and found that he didn't have much advantage in terms of power, so he planned to lean on Horgist to roll over and jump. But Hougist was prepared, when Bosh leaned on him and was ready to exert his strength, Hougist suddenly took a step back, Bosh wanted to borrow force during the turn, but the resistance behind him suddenly disappeared, and the center of gravity was shifted to barely complete the whole set of actions and throw the ball to the basket.

This is also a star player like Bosh, and it is inevitable that other players with less physical talent will make mistakes. However, even a star player like Bosh couldn't get off the ball enough, and instead the well-prepared Hoggist jumped high and delivered a McGee-style hat.

Suddenly, there was silence in the stadium, and the fans couldn't believe their eyes. Shoot straight off the hat? Even though Bosh shot the ball in a hurry, it was also a mid-range shot by an interior player who was 6 feet 11 inches tall and had an arm span of more than 7 feet 3 inches.

Hoggist didn't give everyone time to react, and rushed forward with the ball directly, even a few points faster than Flash Wade, of course, Wade retreated from the top of the arc frontally, the two ran in different directions, and Wade was understandable if he was slower. When Wade retreated to the free throw line, Haugist had already rushed to the front, and Wade saw that Hoggist was so fast, he thought he would not be able to stop the car, so he stood and waited for Hoggist to collide and make him an offensive foul.

Hougist came to the front of the position, and the distance seemed to be close to kiss each other as long as he pursed his lips, and just when Wade was about to accept Hoggist's high-speed impact, Hougist turned around Wade directly with his back force, and jumped up directly to complete a split. At this time, the American Airlines arena is quieter, and some Miami fans are even considering whether to "leave the stadium early".

"No offense, but that's not my fastest speed, and I can make a lot of changes in the direction of my actions at that speed!" Hogist said to Wade.

"Looks like you're already Barry. Alan (the second generation of the Flash) is already Jay. Is Garrick (the first generation of The Flash)? Wade sighed.
