Chapter 273: Drag Racing, Old Driver

"Ell, guys, they're starting to shoot threes, we're going to have to change the lineup to deal with it, easy, it's time for you to perform!" Shashewski didn't get angry at the players, after all, the opponent's three-pointer is a defect in the lineup, and the players can't be blamed for not working hard to defend.

"K, do you want to race with them! I just made a three-pointer today, and I think we can make a fuss on the outside, too! After all, we're better at three-pointers than them, aren't we? Haugist asked.

"You decide for yourself, the command on the field is yours, I have always had only two requirements for you, one is to sort out the offense, and the other is to connect the defense." Shashewski said disapprehantly.

"yes, the simplest and most difficult requirement, there is no reference at all, God knows what makes a good offense and defense?" Hoggist complained.

"To put it simply, if you can open up most of your teammates and have fun and win in the end, it will show that you can organize and attack and defend well. You've done well in the first few games, keep it up! Shashewski duly praised Haugist.

While these are the jobs of a core playmaker, it is not too much to praise for being able to do as well as Hoggist. What's more, like Coach K, who only makes ambiguous demands on Hoggist, gives him a high degree of freedom and allows him to explore on the field by himself, which is the only one in thousands of years.

At the end of the timeout, Yi Jianlian's appearance announced that McRoberts's good days were over, and he could no longer easily get space on the outside, but the Heat team needed to worry more about their defense, Hougist is a very strange player, he usually likes to use his outside projection ability to pass the ball when paddling, occasionally shoot one or two three-pointers, and when he plays seriously, he will combine sharp breakthroughs, which makes people unguardable, but when he intends to kill the game, It will no longer take the effort to go inside, but directly solve the problem in the most unreasonable way on the outside.

Throughout the first half, Haugist has been playing an endpoint on the offensive end, which has caused the Heat to have inertial thinking, and when Haugist takes the ball from Yi Jianlian and slowly dribbles forward from the backcourt, he doesn't react for a while. Yi Jianlian paced the front court after the kickoff, and Hougist followed behind him and constantly changed the direction of the dribble to prevent the opponent from bypassing Yi Jianlian to press the defense, and this was the case until Yi Jianlian walked to the three-point line. Deng also failed to defend himself in front of Hogist.

The Heat thought that Hoggist was just itchy and wanted to dribble, and eventually gave the ball to the guard and then went to the low post to play it himself, but everything has a reason, Hoggist shot directly and easily from the three-point line, and hit a three-pointer steadily, and the Heat, who failed to respond in time, paid the price for their carelessness.

However, the Heat also seemed to have made a tactical change during the timeout, and Bosh was returning to the opening offensive mode, constantly running for open opportunities, and at the same time draining Haugist's physical strength.

"Hey, Boss, I find it more tiring to run with you all over the field than to fight with you on the inside, is your opening tactic self-defeating?" Hoggist likes to call Bosh the boss, which is both kind and respectful. But this sentence is obviously a joke, because if he is really tired, where will Hoggist have the energy to make small talk with Bosh?

"Your style is really old-school! I'm afraid that the players of twenty years ago would have talked so much nonsense, right? Bosh responded.

Trash talk, as a traditional culture of the NBA, has always existed, although it was indeed the most popular in the 90s, but now it is not as rare as Bosh said, mainly because the new season has just begun, the vast majority of rookies, and even some rookies from last year are still trying to adapt to the league, striving for a higher status and more stable playing time in their own teams, every minute and every second on the court is thinking about their own performance, how can they have the leisure to fight with their opponents to play psychological warfare? Only Hougist's selection directly becomes the core of the team, and without the pressure of playing time, he can naturally show off some more high-end skills.

"Thank you, I'll just praise me as you, you know, on the same team as Kobe, it will be very uncomfortable to talk a few trash words during training! I still have a lot of advanced jokes here, would you like to try it? "Hoggist didn't forget to take care of the direction of the ball when chatting with Bosh, Wade's horizontal pass was almost cut off by him, but Bosh ushered in a new opportunity after barely catching the ball, because Hoggist grabbed the ball very fiercely and almost broke the ball, which is also the reason why Hoggist was out of position in defense.

Bosh hurriedly dribbled into the inside, but only took two steps before Hoggist chased back, Bosh had no choice but to return the ball to Wade, and then he retreated outside the three-point line, Wade dribbled two steps and was also interfered with, so he passed the ball again to Bosh outside the three-point line on the wing. Bosh lifted the ball to shoot, and Hoggist jumped up to block, but it was a feint by Bosh.

He was also surprised that he was able to shake up Hoggist Posch, but he immediately made a quick break to the inside and hit a running shot with ease. After the ball was scored, Bosh looked at Hoggist in surprise and asked, "How could you be shaken away so easily?" Why do I feel so unreal? Do you have some conspiracy? ”

"Okay, brother, don't get cheap and sell well! Let's savor this feeling! After all, your next goal will have to wait until the next game! Hoggist naturally heard Bosh's taunt, and also responded with sharp words.

"Oh? It was interesting because I thought my next goal would happen 24 seconds later. "Bosh's mood improved slightly after the goal and he got into a state of bickering.

Hoggist's brain is racing, and trash talk also requires a lot of vocabulary, celebrity quotes, classic lines, memes and jokes to make a knowledge reserve, so as to effectively sting the opponent. He instantly remembered a very philosophical saying, so he pretended to smile at Bosh, "Do you think what you think is what you think?" ”

Not to mention, this sentence is quite effective, Bosh really thought seriously about the deep meaning of Haugist's words for a long time when he retreated. But it didn't matter if Bosh got distracted, as Hougist repeated his old trick and took another jumper from beyond the three-point line.

This time Rohr. Deng bypassed Yi Jianlian's block and pounced, but Hougist was such a scoundrel, he changed his shot to a pass in the air, and the cannonball passed straight to Yi Jianlian, and the ball led people directly to the basket. Yi Jianlian ignored McRoberts' defense and dunked the ball into the basket through him.

In the process of returning to the defense, Hoggist looked at Bosh proudly, and provoked contemptuously: "Our attack is over, it took less than 10 seconds, let me see your next goal!" ”

Bosh didn't say anything but silently covered for Dragic at the top of the arc, and Dragic dribbled around inside and couldn't find a chance to shoot, so he gave the ball to Rohr in the bottom corner. Deng, Deng gave the ball to Wade, who moved to the top of the arc. Wade held the ball and blocked Bosh again, Wade broke through and distributed the ball to Bosh again, Bosh raised the ball again and shook it, this time Haugist was not fooled, but Bosh chose to jump directly and shoot three points.

In fact, Hoggist also uses this trick when facing other guards, anyway, there is a height advantage, you can't interfere with my shooting if you don't jump up first, and if you jump up first, I break through or make a shooting foul at will.

Haugist can finally empathize with the players who were abused by him before, but Hoggist personally thinks that Bosh's projection is not comparable to himself, and it is great that the fairy ball is scored two times a game, and he sticks so tightly that Bosh can't maintain such a high shooting rate.

Sure enough, this time, although Hoggist failed to seal the height of Bosh's shot, Bosh failed to shoot. The ball smashed into the rim of the basket and formed a long rebound, bouncing back in the direction of Bosh.

Hoggist grabbed the rebound first, turned around Bosh on a dribble and advanced to the court, and Jeremy Lin followed up with a pass from Hoggist to hit another three-pointer. At 74:57, the Lakers have stretched the margin to nearly 20 points.

"Looks like your way of chasing points isn't working? We can't lose by three points! Hoggist looked at Bosh triumphantly, then seemed to remember something, and continued: "BT, 24 seconds seem to have passed?" ”

Bosh really doesn't want to quarrel with Hougist at this time, he is 10 years older, and it is really a loss of identity to quarrel with a junior, and when the score is behind, the quarrel seems to be even more unaffordable. The right way to respond to a junior's verbal provocation is to use basketball to teach him how to behave, and then say a few words lightly.

But the current situation is that the younger generations continue to use basketball to teach their elders to be people, and at the same time, they have to be sarcastic and not talk about face at all. Bosh could only silently continue to work the field, trying to fight hard to score a few goals in the next step to maintain his dignity.

So Bosh returned to the low post on the offensive end, using every ounce of strength in his body to beat Hoggist, and on the defensive end, he also used a strong spirit to force his body to keep up with every change of direction and every feint of Hoggist.

However, the gap in physical talent is sometimes really hard work, and where can Bosh keep up with the rhythm of Hogist? The harder you work, the more desperate you feel, on the offensive end Bosh can still have a three- or four-percent shooting rate, but back to the defensive end Bosh has become a cash machine, Spo did not arrange Bosh to defend Hogist, in fact, Rohr. Deng was barely acceptable to Hoggist's defense, but Bosh insisted on forcing himself to defend Hoggist, which gave the Lakers a chance, and after the third quarter, Hoggist had 35 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds, and successfully won a triple-double, and the Lakers also led by 99:71 to 28 points, making the game lose suspense again.

Hoggist regained a triple-double, clocked out in the third quarter, and happily watched the game from the sidelines. Bosh exhausted his physical strength in the third quarter and Hoggist's confrontation, but it really achieved the purpose of Spoelstra's opening war of attrition with Hougist, whether it was tired or unnecessary, anyway, Hoggist did not play in the fourth quarter, and has been watching from the wall, but without Bosh's stable projection on the outside, Wade and Whiteside can turn the clouds on the inside, but they are still powerless in the face of a gap of nearly 30 points, although the Heat once played a 15:3 climax in the fourth quarter, but Nick. Yang and Reed scored a three-pointer each, but it still wiped out their last hope.

In the end, the Lakers took the victory from the Heat's home court 117-101, making it a seven-game winning streak. At the moment, only the Warriors in the league are also on a winning streak. So the first meeting between the Lakers and the Warriors in two weeks, the Lakers' away game against the Warriors has become a hot spot. Will the two teams be able to win in a row until that day? If the two teams can maintain their winning streak, the Lakers will set a new franchise record of 13 straight wins in the opening season, and the Warriors will tie the league record of 15 consecutive wins set by the Rockets in the 93-94 season. And who will be able to continue the winning streak when that day comes? Will the Lakers continue to break the all-time record or will the Warriors break the league record? Those who want to know are already trying to get their hands on a ticket for the day.

But those are all for later, and the two teams still focused on the present, and the Lakers won back-to-back 101-99 over the Magic the next day. Although the Magic are not strong, the Lakers almost capsized in the gutter. The fatigue of the whole team is on the one hand, on the other hand, Hoggist is also a little careless, the stroke is more serious and he played the worst shooting rate of his career, 8 of 15 shots, including 5 of 8 three-point shots, only 21 points, and the assists are also a record low, only 11, but the low number of assists is because his teammates are more iron than him, and also because the whole team is fighting hard, Hoggist also scored 17 rebounds in this game, a career high.

Hoggist's 4 personal turnovers and 17 turnovers for the team are also one of the reasons why the team has always fallen behind. In the end, it was not the credit of Hougist to win, the last attack on the Lakers' possession, the score was 99 drawn, Hoggist drove the sideline ball to Kobe Bryant and ran out of an excellent open opportunity, Kobe's pass was also timely. However, Hougist's three-point shot was ridiculously three-pointer, and fortunately, Turner got stuck under the basket and received the ball and hit a basket to end the game, otherwise the Lakers' physical problems would be more obvious in overtime.

After the game, everyone returned to the locker room with palpitations, and his teammates surrounded Hoggist to make a collective attack, not for the last three non-sticks, but because Hoggist had clearly guaranteed that defending Bosh would never affect his physical strength.

"God damn it! Doesn't that mean that defending Bosh won't affect your stamina? It seems that the amount of training I have set for you is still too little! Bryant asked.

Seeing that the others also nodded, Hoggist asked curiously, "I thought you were going to blame me for not making the last shot!" ”
