Chapter 44: The Difference Between the Champion and the Underdog
The first quarter went into a stalemate, and Lace tore a gap on the outside of the Kings through Steinbeck's pick-and-roll. At the same time www.biquge.info Steinbeck turned around and cut in, the position was just right, Lepp hit the ball, Steinbeck jumped up for a dunk, and was stopped by Merris with a foul.
"Good shot." Steinbeck was exaggerated, as if he had made a key foul. Merris gave him a blank look, and stood to the side in a gray manner, he had been slow just now, and at his speed, he should have returned faster.
Starbeck hit both free throws, Carmen advanced with the ball, Lepp defended fiercely, and the successive confrontations made Carmen almost miss.
"The defensive intensity of the waiters suddenly went up a notch, and Carmen was a little uncomfortable." Kenny said. "That's the difference between a weak team and a strong team, a strong team knows what playoff intensity is, and they can use that intensity to force their opponents to do at any time," Barkley said. ”
Carmen reluctantly played the ball with only a few seconds left before Ragren fired a long-range shot from two meters from the outside. With this kind of shooting, no one in the league can maintain a high shooting percentage except for Moy Cook.
The ball hits the front of the basket, and Kant passes by to pick up the rebound.
Morley ran quite fast, had reached the front court, close to the basket of the Imperial team, Kant moved his hands, and threw a long throw with force, wanting to perform an aerial relay throughout the court.
However, Kant overestimated Morley's explosiveness, and this ball, Morley didn't even touch it, it was too high, "Mine! Morley took the initiative to take the responsibility, after all, no one can be wrong, even if that bastard Kant threw the ball high, he had to take the blame, "Next time I will jump higher." "I'll throw low." Kant said.
"It's a great opportunity, but it's a pity that Molly's explosiveness is not enough to support him in such an aerial relay." Barkley lamented. He was a big Waiter fan, and even more so a fan of Kant.
A mistake followed by a high-intensity lead defense, the Imperial team could not have a chance through tactics, Wang Weiyu passed the ball in the middle, and singled Kant with the ball.
"That's what we want to see, WVSKJ!" Kenny said excitedly.
Wang Weiyu kept a certain space with his feet, shot left and right, and pulled the ball quickly between the left and right, Kant's defense maintained the principle of pulling away and not expanding, and he was confident in his physical fitness. Wang Weiyu leaned over and took another step, quickly pulled the ball back with a weak side hand, and took advantage of Kant's close proximity to pull up the mid-shot.
"Cast so fast?" Kant smiled, "Sure enough, I won't go in." Wang Weiyu sighed, it didn't feel good to shoot this time, "The next goal will definitely go in." "It's good to have faith." Kant received a pass, "It's my place." ”
Kant's intention is very clear, that is, to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the imperial team to beat Wang Weiyu locally.
"Danger!" Qin Wei stood up from the audience, Kant rushed too hard, his body was nearly twice as thick as Wang Weiyu, such a fierce impact, Wang Weiyu actually had a hard top. Kant knocked Wang Weiyu away, made a layup with his right hand, scored the ball, and made Wang Weiyu foul.
"James's tank breakthrough! It's so beautiful, W is as weak as a schoolboy in front of him. Barkley shouted. Kenny said: "W tried his best, at least not out of position, and I hope he can withstand the impact of Kant, which is the basis for challenging Kant. "It's too hard, he's too thin now." Barkley said truthfully.
Wang Weiyu stroked his chest, Fang Cai is really terrifying, Kant and Toin are two extremes.
One is thin, one is strong, one has a gentle style of play, and one has a violent style of play, which is really different in its own way, and in comparison, it feels better to be blown up by Toyin, because he can't defend with his position, height, and high shots.
Kant uses his body to make you powerless, and he doesn't even need to use too much skill.
"It's really unpleasant!" Wang Weiyu rubbed the floor with her toes. Merris said, "That guy is so arrogant, you have to give him some color." Wang Weiyu smiled bitterly, "I'll do my best." As he spoke, Kant threw in a penalty.
Carmen swayed left and right, and Play didn't lose his position, and this alignment wasted a lot of time.
When Wang Weiyu got the ball, there were only five seconds left in the offensive time, he broke through quickly, and Kant leaned him on him with his body, and he couldn't break through the depths at all.
The time was about to run out, and Wang Weiyu stopped the jump shot, but still missed. Merris grabbed the offensive rebound and bought a second chance for the Kings. He immediately passed it on to Wang Weiyu, and he knew that Wang Weiyu needed to find his touch now, otherwise the pressure Kant gave him would crush him.
"In this position, you need to be stronger." Kant said. Wang Weiyu said: "I will, but now this suggestion is like a **** on the ground to me, useless, it's better for you to get out of the way for me, so that I can break through." "You love to joke." Kant talked nonsense with Wang Weiyu without a word.
Wang Weiyu dribbled with his right hand, and seemed to be able to play the ball out of his palm, first changing direction on the right side, then pulling back, and then passing the crotch. The round was done extremely quickly, and apart from Kant's teammate Jerry Robert, there were no more than a handful of people in the league who could face him.
"It's over!" Wang Weiyu used a weak side hand to force a breakthrough, Kant obviously didn't expect it, he was half a step slower, and he was overlooked, so he wanted to live up, and Steinbeck on the inside line had come out to block the road. The ball was hit by Wang Weiyu and passed to Merris, who jumped up and dunked.
"Wonderful counterpoint, W refuses to admit defeat to the Chosen One, it's wonderful!" Kenny said. Barkley said: "Kant still needs to be tougher, with his physical advantage, as long as he fights a few times, W's technical moves can't be done." "Use your body to deal with a rookie? Chuck, he's going to die laughing at Toin Davide and Moy Cook! Kenny exclaimed.
The offensive end of the waiters was orderly. Lepp's breakthrough caused a lot of trouble for Carmen's defense, he used to be an All-Star player, and he was extremely strong in his breakthrough, but now he is older, his explosiveness is not there, his starting speed is not inferior to that year, and the threat of breaking through has not diminished in the slightest. Carmen suffered an ankle injury, and the power of the defense dropped a lot, and he was found by Plei and forced into the three-point line.
"Damn Bichi!" Carmen was furious and hateful, and pursued it closely.
On the other side, Kant squeezed Wang Weiyu away with his body, cutting straight to the inside line from the bottom line, and Pulai saw it at a glance and passed it out quickly. Kant catches the ball under the basket and scores easily.
"It's too easy, the difference in strength between the two can be seen by the difficulty, W still lacks a lot." Buckley likes Kant as much as Wang Weiyu. If he chooses one of the two, he still attaches more importance to Kant, so the bias of the interpretation is also obvious.
Merris raised his hand high in the low position, the previous opponent was a European white bear like Steinbeck, he couldn't withstand the hard top, but now he has changed to a big white soft like Morry Campbell, he is not afraid at all, "Give it to me!" Give me! Those two words were written all over his face.
Hot eyes, swollen cheeks, high momentum, it's really not okay not to give it - Carmen gave it, ran to the side and waited for the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer.
Merris tried his best in one top, and the second arch continued to work hard, and finally turned back, and the trowel failed to put it in, "Mommy Fake!" No! Merris screamed, he didn't attack under this kind of defense, "Angry! "Defend back!" Wang Weiyu shouted.
This kind of counterattack is the Waiters' forte, Kant plays the ball in the frontcourt, at a 45-degree angle on the left side of the outside line, Lepp catches the ball, dries, does not fool Carmen, and passes to PJ Smith next to him.
PJ jumped up to shoot, found the Morley corner unguarded in the air, switched to a pass, and quickly pushed it to the other side of the court.
In the bottom corner, Morley was left unattended, and after being fully prepared, he shot, "Whew! ”
"I can't bear it anymore!" Merris was in the left corner, and Carmen continued to give it to him. Merris violently slammed into the top, once, twice, moved a few times, and turned left to hook his hand.
The impetuous Merris lost his normal level, and failed to score two inevitable low positions in a row, and Morley, who has always been criticized for his weakness on the defensive end, instantly turned into a super defender and blocked Merris two in a row.
Kant played very easily, he didn't rely on technical breakthroughs, and second, he didn't need to force his body, and now he called to block and dismantle, and easily broke in.
Merris jumped up to block, Kant brushed him by, missed the basket with a left-handed sideways pick, and Steinbeck made up for it.
Herbert couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the game, his face not very good.
"It looks like Coach Herbert is not happy with the Kings' offense." Kenny said. Barkley said: "It can't be improved more, that's the difference between the two teams, it's normal for the Finals team to play like this with the weak team. ”
Hearing such a commentary, the fans of the Imperial Team didn't do anything, and the boos came one after another, Kenny was really worried that if he sat with this guy again, he would not be shot by the fans who lost his mind after the game, and he was really scared to think about it.
"Merris, you need to calm down, whether it's Steinbeck or Morley, you have to attack them as if they were players of the same level, not just take them lightly, you are not qualified to take others lightly." Herbert said, "Carmen, is your ankle injury recurring?" Carmen said, "It's a bit repetitive, but I can hold on." ”
"No, you can't stop Lepp right now, Kelsen, you replace Carmen." Herbert looked at Wang Weiyu, "W, play our rhythm again, we are not without the strength to fight." ”
Wang Weiyu nodded, looked at Kant on the other end, he quietly listened to Hoyle's instructions, and didn't say a word.
