Chapter 15: I'm not targeting anyone
Fran Akon prefers to be a spectator who only needs to sit in the audience and shout, because then he doesn't have to go out of his way to tell the story of how things are changing on the pitch, especially in a back-to-back match. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Braves got off to a strong start, leading by as many as 20 points. The Kings rebounded strongly in the second quarter, leading them against the Braves by two first-year rookies.
Wang Weiyu attacked, Merris defended, this is where the Imperial team's counterattack depends. Wang Weiyu's state has reached the best state since the start of the game, especially in the second quarter, he even shot with a sudden shot, not only three times Hudson, but also three three-pointers on the head of George Bielle, who is known for his strong defense, all of them are unreasonable ****.
"With thirty seconds left in the second quarter, the Warriors' ball, missed! Levin's pass error, Wang Weiyu counterattacked! Merris is also fast! ā
Wang Weiyu took the ball straight to the basket of the Braves, George quickly returned to his position, his physical fitness was above Wang Weiyu, and he was not afraid of the opponent's sudden attack. Compared with the opponent's breakthrough, George was more afraid of his shooting.
"Bang bang bang..."The ball bounced quickly, Wang Weiyu gestured, and sent the ball into the air in a blink of an eye, Merris kicked the ground with both feet, his black skin was as bright as King Kong, his hands were high in the air to catch the ball, and he smashed it to the basket vigorously, boom, and the basket screamed.
"A fantastic aerial show from Merris Arnold, the future star of the Imperial Team!" Fran exclaimed passionately.
Wang Weiyu high-fived Merris, "You can buckle harder." "You pass the ball high." Merris said. "Understood." Wang Weiyu nodded.
The head coach of the Braves, Kerr, was very calm, and the situation on the court didn't seem to impress him, "Moy, how are you resting?" "Ready to go, Coach." Hearing this, Kerr called a timeout, "Moy, you go up and play the last ball." "Coach, which tactic to play?" Tom asked.
"What tactics?" Cole wiped the things off the tactics board, stared at Moi and said, "Play MC tactics." ā
"We saw the Braves' Moi Cook back on the court, and it looks like Coach Kerr wanted Moe to feel the ball again and prepare for the second half." Fran said: "Kerr is the man who won three consecutive championships with MJ, and if it were me, I would have let Moy play in the second quarter when the Kings were chasing so hard. Webber thoughtfully, "The Kings can't be careless yet, when they chase points, the Warriors are not the strongest lineup." ā
Moy was holding braces, and when he saw Wang Weiyu coming over, he took the initiative to come forward and say hello, "Rookie, you were very cool just now." "Not as good as you." Wang Weiyu replied.
"Of course, if it's about who's the coolest on the pitch, I'm not targeting anyone, you can only fight for second." Moy was not at all modest.
The Braves served, and sure enough, it was Moy who received the ball, swayed left and right, Carmen lost his defensive direction, and Moy leaned down and quickly rushed to the left. Carmen gritted her ankles and gritted her teeth in front of Moy. Moy saw the clue, "Dude, you hurt your ankle, right?" Carmen remained silent, staring at him with a determined gaze.
Wang Weiyu saw the opportunity, left George and quietly slipped over to trap Moy.
The reason why Moy can do whatever he wants on the court is not only because he has the three-point ability that has never been seen before or since, but also has top-level ball control skills.
"Dang!" didn't enter, it was obviously a very unreasonable shot, but it made people break out in a cold sweat.
The score in the first half was fixed at 64-58, Wang Weiyu performed amazingly in the second quarter, and he was everywhere on the offensive end of the Imperial team, scoring 20 points, 4 assists and 3 steals in a single quarter.
"Jerry, what's going on with Carmen's ankle?" Herbert inquired about Carmen's injuries.
Jerry, the team doctor, said: "It doesn't seem like a big problem, but it's better not to play again today, because there are some ankles that are in great danger, and if you play a high-intensity game today, you can't guarantee that there will be no more serious injuries. Herbert made a decision, "Kelsen, for the rest of the game, you will replace Carmen." ā
"Coach, I don't have a problem, I can hold on until the end of the game." Carmen was in a hurry. Herbert's hand rested on his shoulder, "Carmen, now is not the time to be reckless, this game is just a regular season, not a must-win game, we don't need to take risks, we still need you in the next game." ā
Carmen was persuaded that others might not feel anything, but Wang Weiyu knew that Carmen's non-play meant that the odds of winning the game became slim.
The outside defense of the Imperial team is basically supported by Wang Weiyu and Carmen, and Carmen is against Moy, if he doesn't play, Moy is not too easy to beat Kelsen and the like, thinking of this, his head is covered with a layer of haze.
At the beginning of the second half, it was not Moi who fired first, but Tom. He regained his touch, forced a shot in the face of Raglen's direct defense, and still made a shot, extending the margin to nine points.
Wang Weiyu pondered how to deal with the ball, and Merris provided him with the answer, actively asking for the ball in the low post, which was a good choice, and the ball was also delivered at the same time as the position was to arrive.
It was Bloomfield who was defending Merris, what level of mismatch was this?
Merris Arnold, 2.13m tall, 2.29m reach; Bloomfield, his 2.01 meter height alone is nothing to say, what is the suspense in this group of duels? He's a great defender, but he can't make up for the physical gap in any way.
In fact, as an inside lineman, he is the killer move of the Braves, a five-small lineup, giving up the advantage of the inside line and using speed to defeat the opponent.
This kind of trick often works well in the face of teams that don't have a top interior line, and Merris is undoubtedly the embryo of a super center, but it is still sprouting and far from its peak.
Merris seized the opportunity and punched Bloomfield to take two points with his trademark hook move.
The Braves obviously didn't want to give the Kings a respite, and Tom finished throwing in the last round, and this time it was Moy's turn.
In front of Kelsen's defense, he quickly dribbled back and stepped back to make a three-point jumper, and hit again.
Despite scoring, the Warriors expanded the score little by little, which is the power of the five smalls, and if there is no super center, it is difficult to fundamentally suppress this style of play.
Wang Weiyu was in a hurry, wanted to recover the score, dribbled to the frontcourt, wanted to chase a three-point and colored, but as a result, the Warriors won the rebound and launched their best fast-break counterattack, which is a fatal thing.
Moy chased to the front court and shot a three-pointer in the same way, knocking to the front of the basket, Tom followed, made up for it, and continued to expand the score.
"The Imperials chose to take a timeout, and the Braves' powerful attack wave left the Imperials almost powerless, and there is still a long way to go for this young team." Fran has already begun to sum up.
"We're fine!" Herbert exclaimed, "We're fine, guys!" First of all, we have to slow down the tempo, we can't follow their rhythm, W, Merris's low post works well, keep giving him, don't rush. Wang Weiyu gasped and nodded heavily.
After this pause, Wang Weiyu's mind also calmed down, and according to Herbert's arrangement, he passed the ball to Merris.
Merris could sense Bloomfield's defensive center of gravity, and he took a deep breath, everyone was curious about how he was going to attack, and he, he was going to surprise everyone.
"Beautiful!" Merris bobbed the ball with his right hand to the left, and then, turning to the right towards the baseline, these two movements shook off Bloomfield's center of gravity, and for the outside line, it was equivalent to being shaken down.
After that, the Braves had no one to stop Merris, who grabbed the ball and went to the basket for a tomahawk dunk that stretched out.
However, the Warriors were not affected in any way, their offense was as smooth as mercury, and the outside pass ball was like a carefully calculated math problem, accurately transmitted to everyone's hands, and each pass ball had a certain penetration, penetrating and tearing apart the Kings' defense bit by bit.
"The Braves have a fantastic outside rotation, they have the best passing in the league and the best shooters in the league, and those two great things make for the best offensive team in the league." Fran said. "What's scary about the Braves isn't just that their offense is the best in the league, their defense is also one of the best in the league, and they're undoubtedly the best team of the year," Webb said. ā
In one offense, the basketball passed a total of seven times from the outside to the inside, and the last one to catch the ball was Moy, who took a shot without giving up.
"Dang!" Moy misses again.
It's just that Bloomfield grabbed the rebound and gave it to Moy for the first time.
The last time he missed, Moi didn't hesitate this time, and he started shooting two meters from the three-point line, and the ball was as fast as an arrow off the string, and finally shot through the net.
"Why doesn't that guy score three points in the normal vacant position, but he scores three points two meters away from facing people?" Qin Wei on the sidelines was about to be messy.
Can't you shoot a ball without difficulty?
Before you know it, the difference between the two teams has widened to nearly 20 points.
