Chapter 344: Headache
That's right, it's as if there are no weaknesses.
Wang Meng in the first two seasons, although he was also very popular, still had a way to deal with it, but Wang Meng at the beginning of this season, especially in the middle of the regular season, suddenly seemed invincible.
There is no solution to the outside shooting, the key ball, and the shooting rate of the lore ball is 100%.
There is no solution to the inside line breakthrough, and in the case of one-on-one single defense, even Kobe, James and others have no way to deal with Wang Meng, and the defense will only let Wang Meng break into the inside.
Unable to solve the bag, his eyes seem to grow to the back of his head, no matter where his teammates are, he can easily find their position and pass the ball through, and a simple double bag can't stop him.
There is no solution to the defensive ability, and there is no player who is defended by him alone, and none of the players who are facing Wang Meng this season have scored more than 20 points except Kobe, including Chris Paul, Westbrook and other top point guards in the league.
Four insolvable, almost Wang Meng is a god, in fact, Wang Meng at this moment gives people the feeling that he is unstoppable, like a god, Jordan back then was just in this state.
The only difference is that Wang Meng lacks a championship ring of his own. When he was with the Lakers, although Wang Meng was the MVP of the finals, after all, the Lakers were Kobe's team, and Wang Meng was only one of Kobe's younger brothers at best, although this little brother grew up a little too fast, and Kobe Bryant was already a little bit of an opponent in the second season, but the younger brother was approaching the little brother, and before he had a championship of his own, Wang Meng's status would never rise to the level of Jordan and Kobe.
"Perhaps, this year is the time for this guy to become a god." ** Vicky looked at Wang Meng, who was unstoppable on the field, and suddenly thought of this for no reason, "At the beginning, if the Spurs could exchange Wang Meng at all costs, maybe they could win the championship again last season." Immediately, Vicky shook his head and denied, "It's impossible, the Hornets got Wang Meng, but at the same time, they also traded Paul out, and the Spurs don't have a player of Paul's level as a trading chip." Moreover, the game is not over yet, why do I think someone else will win the championship? ”
"Damn! Damn it! Parker gritted his teeth fiercely, but couldn't find a chance to break through, and Wang Meng's defense was like a mountain, lying dead in front of him, giving him a sense of frustration that he had never felt before.
"Want to hit the inside? Do you think that's possible? Wang stared at Parker, his body adjusting as he moved. In fact, according to Parker's speed, if he wants to force a breakthrough, although Wang Meng, who did not open an instant explosion, can defend in most cases, there will always be a possibility for him to break into the inside.
But in the first two games, once Wang Meng was about to be passed by Parker, he immediately turned on an instant outburst and used absolute speed and strength to forcibly stop Parker, so today's Parker will not easily choose to break through, because after two games, Parker knows very well that he can't beat Wang Meng, even if he creates an opportunity, he will be stopped by Wang Meng, he has tried countless times in the first two games.
"It's called a block! With pick-and-roll, you're still able to get inside. Wang Meng saw that Parker ignored him, and still said to himself: "But you have to think carefully, is it better for Duncan or Yao Ming?" Both of them were out of breath by now. At this moment, Wang Meng feels that he is like the villain in the cartoon, constantly stimulating the mood of the protagonist, and finally causing the protagonist's small universe to explode, rushing up with three punches and two kicks to solve himself.
However, this is not a cartoon after all, and the protagonist is still Wang Meng.
Although he was pressed to death by Wang Meng, Parker still barely kept his senses, he knew that it was a very unwise thing to call for blocking and dismantling now, Duncan and Yao Ming were both in a very fierce competition with physical strength, although the blocking and dismantling thing was not a big physical exertion, but for the current Duncan or Yao Ming, it would also be a very heavy burden.
As for letting the perimeter players block him, Parker didn't have that idea in Game 2.
The outside players come to block Parker, and the players who come to make up for Parker are often the players who defend these outside players, and who are the outside players of the Hornets? Tony Allen, Gerard Wallace, Brandon Roy, these are some players with excellent defensive ability, and because they are outside players, they can also keep up with Parker in terms of speed, and the players who can seriously affect Parker's shooting percentage can finally block and dismantle.
"Do you really have to give it to someone else?" After struggling with Wang Meng for a long time, in the end, Parker still had no choice, watching the offensive time pass little by little, Parker could only choose to hand over the ball to others to attack, and hold the ball himself, which was just a waste of valuable offensive time.
"That's right." At this time, Wang Meng's verbal attack began again. "Give the ball to someone else, and then the two of us just stand here obediently and watch, no one is tired, hello, hello, everyone."
"Wait!" Parker suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "What did I just hear?" Hello me, hello everyone? No, no one is tired in the previous sentence! This guy is going to get tired! ”
In an instant, Parker's mind began to churn violently, "That's right, Wang Meng had a big weakness in the past was physical strength, and now it seems that his physical strength is getting better and better with the game, but he is not a superman after all, and his physical strength must be limited!" He's now defending himself and leading the Hornets offensive! Removing the physical strength he consumes on the offensive end, it is also a very huge consumption for him to defend himself, you know, the physical strength required to defend is definitely much more than the offense! ”
"If he really does what he said, he hands the ball to others every time he attacks, and stands here with Wang Meng and watches his teammates attack, for Wang Meng, it is undoubtedly a very big burden! How could I possibly do that?! For no apparent reason, a small smile suddenly appeared on Parker's face.
Wang Meng looked at Parker's smile, and suddenly felt a little bad in his heart. "What? Did I say the wrong thing just now? ”
Parker's pass was directed to Ginobili, and as soon as Ginobili received the ball, Allen immediately surrounded him, and finally Ginobili still passed the ball into the inside, Duncan received the ball, and once again singled Gasol successfully, but by this time he was already panting and sweating profusely.
Hornets offense, Wang Meng held the ball to face Parker, somehow, as soon as Wang Meng received the ball, he suddenly found that Parker seemed to be a little different this time than before, and his defense seemed to be a little eager to try in Wang Meng's opinion.
Before Wang Meng had time to think about it, he saw that Parker had already pounced, blocking himself deadly, and waving his hands endlessly towards Wang Meng's dribbling route.
"Close pressing?" Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, "This kind of distance defense, as long as I turn around, it's very easy" Just think of it, Wang Meng's body immediately turned around in place as if it had fallen off, and with the blocking of his elbow, Parker was instantly stuck behind him.
After Parker, Wang Meng suddenly had an empty space in front of him, because Parker was behind him, Wang Meng couldn't jump and shoot on the spot, so it was easy for Parker to suddenly cover the shot from behind.
"In this case, you can break into the inside line." Wang Meng moved his legs and instantly rushed into the inner line.
As the core of the Spurs' interior defense, Duncan appeared in front of Wang Meng as usual. Wang Meng also passed the ball directly as Duncan wished.
Gasol, who was in the open position, received the basketball and immediately shot from mid-range on the spot, but Duncan did not have time to return to the defense, and the basketball hit the board into the frame.
Turning around and rushing into the inside line at full speed is also a lot of exercise for Wang Meng, and after completing a series of actions, Wang Meng took a few breaths.
But this action was seen by Parker, who had a heart, and the thoughts in his heart were even more firm.
Defending Parker again, Wang Meng clearly felt that Parker was different from before.
"It's really different, this guy, what are you running around with the ball?" Wang Meng was depressed to see that Parker dribbled the ball, trying to break into the inside again and again, Wang Meng could only block Parker again and again, once Parker really created a hole, Wang Meng also quickly opened the instant burst to block it, at this moment Wang Meng did not dare to be stingy with physical strength, two games, he has established a feeling that he is unable to break through to Parker's own defense, if you think that at this time, the stingy physical strength does not open the instant explosion caused Parker to break into the inside to score, then the next defense will also be extremely difficult.
"Sure enough, it was blocked again, and my breakthrough really couldn't break through Wang Meng's defense." Parker saw all this, and his heart was still a little low, but more of a high-spirited, "What if you can't break through?" At the very least, I'm going to make you feel tired and exhausted! ”
Thinking about it, Parker suddenly changed direction again and broke through in the opposite direction, of course, this breakthrough was still blocked by Wang Meng.
"Parker, what are you doing? He couldn't break through Wang Meng's defense, and doing so was just a waste of Spurs' offensive time. Smith said inexplicably.
"I don't know, maybe I was forced by the king to be anxious." Barkley didn't quite know what was going on, "But as the top point guard in the NBA, Parker should have his reasons for doing this, maybe it's just that Wang Meng has been suppressing and deliberately venting." ”
The two basketball commentators couldn't explain Parker's approach, but Wang Meng suddenly realized that in order to completely contain Parker's breakthrough, he had already opened it twice in a row and exploded instantly!
The entanglement between Wang Meng and Parker lasted for 24 seconds, and in the end, Parker still did not find a chance to break through, and the whistle blew for the violation in 24 seconds, and the Hornets took possession.
Although he defended this ball, Wang Meng looked at Parker's resolute eyes, and his heart suddenly chuckled. "Oops! How did you think of this, even I didn't think of it! ”
Two instantaneous outbursts in a row also made Wang Meng understand Parker's intentions, and he did this completely to consume his physical strength. The continuous breakthrough made him have to defend, and Parker didn't know, he did know very well that he could completely suppress Parker, not because the defense was strong enough to completely limit a player, but on the absolute speed of the instant explosion and the targeting tactics of Parker's technical characteristics.
The biggest weakness of this tactic is that when Wang Meng encounters a breakthrough that is too late to block with his own speed when defending Parker, he needs to open an instant burst to block it at absolute speed, but since he opens an instant burst, Wang Meng's physical strength must have a part of the extra consumption, this consumption may not be as big as when he scores, but when the number increases, it will also be a very serious consumption, just like now, in just 24 seconds of offensive time, Wang Meng was forced to use two instant bursts in a row, not only that, In these 24 seconds, Parker was moving all the time, that is, Wang Meng also moved for 24 seconds in order to defend Parker.
Although there are 5 players in the NBA, most of the offense, there are only about 2 or 3 players who can move effectively, and the other 2 or even 3 still have the opportunity to stay where they are and rest.
And now Wang Meng, 24 seconds, but no time to rest, because he has to defend Parker, giving Parker a feeling that he can't break through.
This feeling made Wang Meng eat the sweetness at first, without Parker, who broke through, his offensive ability was greatly reduced, which also reduced the pressure on Wang Meng, who had been in charge of attacking, a lot, but now, an illusion that Wang Meng gave Parker has become a burden for Wang Meng.
In order to maintain this feeling of unbreakable, Wang Meng must consume a lot of physical strength to defend Parker's breakthrough, so that Wang Meng's physical strength consumption speed will be very fast.
"It's a little bit bad." Wang took a sharp breath, took Gasol's serve, and slowly dribbled through the halfcourt.
Parker, who was standing opposite Wang Meng, was also out of breath, breaking through with a high-intensity dribble for 24 seconds in a row, Parker himself was also very tired, but now Parker was already broken, and he didn't know that Wang Meng could completely restrict him for the sake of hanging, so what he thought in his heart was that even if I exhausted all my physical strength, I would let you run out of physical strength, anyway, my offense couldn't break through your defense, and my defense couldn't stop you, in this case, I would do what I could and do my best to consume your physical strength.
Parker is a mistake, just hit Wang Meng's vital point, if Wang Meng continues to pretend, then the physical consumption can not hold on at all, but if he does not pretend, Parker finds out that he can actually break through Wang Meng's defense, the offensive rhythm of the entire Spurs team will be revived because of Parker's reactivation of this point, in this case, this game Hornets will be dangerous.
"That's a real nuisance!" Wang Meng smiled helplessly, looked at Parker in front of him, and began to have a headache.
