The contest between Wang Weiyu and Otard is as sharp as the tip of a needle against a wheat, and it cannot be missed, step by step. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"W looks very serious, it's the first time I've seen him defend so well." Raglan said. Jing Qi was silent, he knew that Wang Weiyu had tried his best in defense, and Otard's attack was too threatening.
No one remembers what was said before the game, because compared to the game, thirty points, the hit percentage, are nothing, and only the winner is qualified to be rampant.
The Kings' tight defense forced the Celtics to dump the ball outside again and again, and then create chances through the rotation of the ball between the players. Merris used absolute defensive control of the basket, which made the Celtics intimidated and afraid to get close.
The final attack was still in the hands of Otard. At the three-point line on the right side, Otard received the ball and shook it, and Wang Weiyu was deceived and jumped.
The latter dribbles a step to the right, pulls up, holds the ball with both hands, shoots the basket as crisply as a stone falling into the sea, and the ball pierces through the basket and falls into it.
"Watch your footsteps and run!" Wang Weiyu shouted. Now is not the time for heads-up, and he won't disrupt the overall offensive and defensive routine with a goal from Otard.
Dunlop Taylor. As a running pitcher, you can see him as an all-around weakened version of Raglan. His shooting is not as accurate as Raglan's, his movement is not as good as Raglan's charm, and as a result, he is not assigned many running tactics.
His task was to give Raglan a few minutes to rest and get the points he deserved from those few minutes.
No one cares what this bench is going to do, which gives him a better chance of getting shots. After a simple run-and-run tactic, Dunlop managed to secure an open spot.
Wang Weiyu played the ball when he dribbled and gave it beautifully. Dunlop made an open three-pointer and unfortunately missed, and he was extremely unhappy with himself, but the Celtics played a transition offense.
The angry Dunlop wanted to foul to stop the Celtics' fast attack, but because the speed was too slow, no one could pull it, and a four-on-two situation was formed in front.
Dominic dribbles quickly, he runs fast enough, his teammates are all following up, and the closest to him is the core Otard. He always paid attention to his position, and when he saw Wang Weiyu in front of him, he had a plan.
When making contact, Dominic passed the ball and then blocked sideways, Otard saw this, bypassed Wang Weiyu with a block, and made a three-point stop at 45 degrees on the left side.
"Huh!"
"32-31, Otard starts the offensive mode again! He's already in shape, W needs to be careful, if he doesn't stop it, Otard will kill the game! β
"Coach Herbert called a timeout, it seems that he knows very well what a terrible impact the rampaging Otard will bring to the Imperial team, this timeout is correct, whether it is to stabilize the mood of the players, or to cool down the feeling of Otard, it is a necessary pause!"
"Montgomery, that ball just now, you should have pounced on Otard desperately instead of running around with Dominic's ass!" Herbert reprimanded. Montgomery was like a frightened bird, and he didn't dare to exhale.
Herbert said to Jing Qi: "J, get ready to play!" W, bringing Otard to the basket can't let his touch continue. ββYESγβ Wang Weiyu replied.
Herbert said to Dunlop again: "Look at Raglan off the pitch, he should be on the pitch, you have to buy him time, Dunlop, don't lose the goals that should be scored!" Think about why you're here! Why here! β
"They have a weak inner line! W, use our inside line to hit their inside line! Herbert drew a low-post singles tactic, "Destroy their inside line, go on!" β
"That Otard is unexpectedly strong!" Nancy had palpitations, "Every time I see him shooting, I feel like I'm shooting." Qin Wei said: "Wei Yu told me that Otard is the most difficult opponent he has ever faced, but fortunately he is in the east..."
Qin Wei said: "But Wei Yu will not lose, he will win the game, even if he loses to Otard in the end, it will be the Emperor Team who wins!" β
"W, go ahead, our battle has just begun." Otard said excitedly.
Wang Weiyu couldn't see the expression on his face, he held the ball and threw it to Merris in the low position, "Don't think that I will fight you alone, it depends on my mood!" β
"Coward!" Otard said a word, and had to follow Wang Weiyu with wide eyes.
Merris was excited to attack, and the Celtics brought on backup center Adonis Alexander, who could match Merris in height and tonnage, but lacked one thing: speed.
He is a typical traditional center, with power, height, and can attack in the low post, but he has no speed, and he is an interior player who has no defensive power when he leaves the basket.
What era is it now? In this era, the interior line must have a strong ability to assist in defense, as well as a certain projection ability, and more importantly, speed, which are all lacking in Adonis. The Celtics value his low post, and now he can come in handy when it comes to a center like Merris who is good at low post.
But there was one point, the Celtics miscalculated, Merris's speed is a model for the new era of interior, and his straight-line running speed is not inferior to that of a defender.
At this step, Adonis missed, chasing Merris's heel, watching him hook the ball.
"Merris' signature hook is beautiful!" Barkley said. "His hook hand is curved like the moon, it's beautiful, and it's soft to the touch," O'Neill said. β
"Good shot! Merris. Wang Weiyu said. Merris smiled: "It's no problem to play this guy at all, keep giving me the ball, if they dare to wrap it, I'll pass it out." β
Dominic controlled the field in the frontcourt, "Rookie, you should have been scolded by the coach just now, right?" What does it taste like? It's definitely a lot, but who calls you a rookie? "Don't be complacent, old fellow!" Montgomery didn't budge.
"Your defense amazes me!" Dominic seems to be praising Montgomery, in fact, the focus is on the second half of his sentence, "I've never seen such an imposing air defense!" "You say me?" Montgomery was like a pile of dry wood, set on fire by Dominic.
Montgomery once again exposed the problem of lack of experience, and was provoked by an old ball like Dominic who couldn't be contained, shot like a monkey, and was fouled by Dominic for a three-point foul.
"Carmen, you go and replace MΓΆngke!" Herbert didn't give Montgomery more chances and went straight for substitutions.
Montgomery did not dare to look at Herbert's face, and sat down in his place like a frightened gray wolf with his tail between his legs.
Dominic is a few years younger than Carmen, and because of his injury, he is not as fast as before, which is a big reason why Herbert sent Carmen. Plus, it doesn't matter if Carmen can't stop him from breaking through, the Kings have the most fearsome blockers in the league.
"Domi, that's the end of the kid's game." Carmen went up to say hello. Dominic smiled lightly: "Even if it's you, the result will not be an exception." β
"Don't compare me to that little brat, your trick won't work for me!" Carmen said indifferently.
Dominic hit two of three free throws, and before the Celtics could retreat from halftime, the Kings launched a wave of rapid counterattacks.
The counterattack was driven by Carmen, and it was so fast that if it hadn't been for Otard's timely return to the basket, Carmen would have scored points on a layup. It was precisely because of Otard's timely return that the fast attack of the Imperial team was not completed, and the ball was handed over to Wang Weiyu to reorganize.
"What are you waiting for?" Otard said, "Don't you want to be on a par with me?" Don't you want to get 40 points on me? Come on! β
Wang Weiyu said lightly: "You don't have to worry, I said, when I am in the mood, I will naturally face you off, as for scoring 40 points on you, that kind of thing can be done in one game, why should I be in a hurry to score?" β
These words are undoubtedly hurtful, and Otard just wanted to teach Wang Weiyu a lesson with the intensity of the confrontation, and the former passed the ball.
Merris played hard in the low post, and the Celtics no longer let him do anything in the low post, and the outside players immediately retreated.
Merris took advantage of the pack to form a pass before the ball was formed. Dunlop got his second chance, and he didn't want to disappoint his teammates again, adjusted his breath, jumped up and shot.
"Huh!" (To be continued.) )
