Chapter 126: The Game Continues
"Good ball, this is called domineering, the Hornets finally have a UFO of their own after so many years." Barkley grinned, as if gloating.
In the first round of the confrontation, it seemed that the two men were on par, and neither of them hindered anyone's attack, but both of them thought that they had suffered a loss.
Rose felt that he was attacking so reluctantly, but Wang Meng was so relaxed, so he felt very unhappy.
Wang Meng felt that Ross relied on his true skills, but he relied on the anti-heaven skills given by the plug-in, which was not very pleasant.
The game continued, and Rose already knew that it was difficult for him to force a breakthrough through Wang Meng with his body, so he did not blindly rely on his body this time, but very skillfully assisted Ruer Deng to hit a three-point shot.
The score of the two sides was 5:2 in the opening period, and the Bulls temporarily took the lead.
"Are you going to have a passing contest this time?" Ross Barkley was very cooperative to come up with last season's stats for comparison. "Last season, Rose averaged 7.9 assists per game and averaged 35 minutes of playing minutes. And Wang Meng's average assists per game is 7.6, and the average playing time is 31 minutes, it seems that the assists of the two should be of comparable quality, but we all know that some time ago, Wang Meng and Johnson did a period of training, as a legendary point guard Magic Johnson should be able to teach Wang Meng a lot of things. ”
Of course, Wang Meng was taught a lot of things, and the skill of passing the ball was very profound, not only paying attention to passing techniques, but also paying attention to the breadth of vision.
The passing technique can be improved with practice, but the breadth of vision cannot be trained, this thing is innate, even if it is specially cultivated, the possibility of being able to grow is very low.
Fortunately, Wang Meng's vision is very good, at least that's what Johnson said, what Wang Meng lacks is the kind of imaginative but often finishing touch, and it just so happens that Magic Johnson is the best of this kind of players.
No, Wang Meng immediately showed the skills he and Johnson had learned.
Gasol ran out to block Wang Meng, Wang Meng immediately took the opportunity to break into the inner line, this time Noah was very smart to block in front of Wang Meng early, blocking Wang Meng's way.
Wang Meng smiled and did not slow down, and after approaching Noah, the hand holding the ball was gently sent, and the basketball passed through Noah's crotch, and it was handed to Okafor, who had just come over.
Okafor was stunned for a moment, he wanted to say that he was just here to play soy sauce and grab rebounds, but he already had a basketball in his hand, how could Okafor give up the meat in his mouth? Pull up your hands and dunk on the spot to score.
"Good shot!" The fans on the pitch couldn't help but scream, and this ball made them ring the No. 3 little man, but this time it was Wang Meng wearing the No. 21 jersey who completed this beautiful assist.
I have always forgotten to say that when I came to the new team, the number chosen by Wang Meng was No. 21, and the reason why I gave up the original number was to have a new beginning.
By the way, Gasol still uses the number 16.
The game continued, and after the opening star-to-star duel, the other players on both sides began to exert their power, and this time the Hornets were somewhat dwarfed.
Looking at the lineups of both sides, whether it is Rose, or Ruhr Deng, or Boozer and Noah, they are all relatively good players, although some of them do not have All-Star titles, but they definitely have the strength of All-Stars. On Wang Meng's side, only Gasol can take a shot, coupled with the Bulls' strong defensive ability, only 6 minutes into the game, the Hornets have trailed the Bulls by 7 points at 11:18.
After Noah received a drop ball from Rose and shook off Okafor for another violent dunk, Monty couldn't help but call a timeout.
Wang Meng frowned deeply, the problem of the Hornets team is very big, not to mention anything else, Okafor's defensive ability is a lot worse than Wang Meng's imagination, although it is also a good player, but it is only a good hand, compared to Bydam, he has some gaps, and it is very easy to eat, Wang Meng is a little confused, Okafor has been in the league for 6 or 7 years, it stands to reason that he is already an old bird, what does this old fake action mean?
Not to mention other positions, Belinelli is just a substitute, even if the scoring ability is okay, after being in the start, there is no difference between playing soy sauce, Ariza is slightly stronger, but he is restrained in the face of Ruhr Deng.
There are five positions in a team, Wang Meng feels that his position is a draw at most, and the other four positions seem to be only slightly better than the big forward position Gasol and Boozer, and the others are all absolute disadvantages, which is nothing, thinking about the headache of the Hornets' bench lineup, Wang Meng began to miss his time in the Lakers.
"Wang Meng, you need to strengthen your offense, the Bulls' defensive ability is too strong, others can't score normally at all, I will put Gasol down to rest in a while, you take it to play for a while, and then replace you and let Gasol lead the team to play." That's the only way Monty can think of, and the only points the Hornets can get at the moment are these two players who have traded Paul and West.
Wang Meng nodded, he knew in his heart that there was no way out.
At the end of the timeout, the Bulls replaced Rose and Noah with backup point guard C.J. Watson and backup center Asik. The Hornets replaced Gasol.
At the beginning of the game, Wang Meng showed his strong offensive ability, with the longer training time in the training space, Wang Meng's offensive ability is getting stronger and stronger, and many offensive point guards in the league are different from now, Wang Meng is very good at shooting in various positions, and is very accurate, on the court for a few minutes, he scored consecutive shots, and one person scored 7 points, a three-pointer, and two two-point shots, directly tying the score.
"We see that Wang Meng's scoring ability is very strong, not only the ability to attack the basket, but the ability to shoot, Wang Meng's hand is very good, whether it is a three-point shot or a two-point shot, it is accurate, I have always felt that this is what a real point guard needs, a good point guard needs to set shooting ability, breakthrough ability, and passing ability." Barkley said eloquently, "Unlike the current point guards, I found that many rookie point guards, such as Rose, Westbrook, Rondo, Wall and others, belong to the kind of players who are very physical, fast, and have strong breakthrough ability, but their shooting ability is terrible, and I haven't thought about a point guard like Wang Meng for a long time." ”
Wang Meng's strong outburst made the Bulls have to call a timeout, and the head coach of the Bulls found that Wang Meng could not be solved with ordinary one-on-one single defense, and his level was completely worthy of being targeted by specially formulated tactics.
