Chapter 22: Attacking the Core
Kobe Bryant scored the first goal smoothly, and the court immediately cheered, this is the home court of the Lakers, and it will definitely not cheer for the Heat.
Chalmers dribbled to the front court and handed the ball to Wade.
In the face of Kobe, Wade did not panic, relying on his fast speed to break through Kobe's defensive layup and score. Over the years, he has grown into a qualified superstar, and it is not modest to say that if you don't count Kobe, Wade is a well-deserved number one in the position of scoring guard.
Wang Meng controlled the ball and found that Bydam was in a very good position, and immediately hoisted the ball into the inside, and Bydam relied on Big Z to force a layup and hit two points.
Switching to the Heat offense, James assisted Bosh on a mid-range jumper to score.
The scores of both teams have been rising, there is nothing particularly easy to overscore, and neither side wants to lose this game, so they are very dead on the opponent's arrowheads. The physical exertion of playing is also more than normal games, and the intensity is already comparable to the level of the playoffs.
When the game reached six minutes, Wang Meng was substituted.
Sitting on the field, Wang wiped his sweat and watched the game on the field.
At this time, the leading is already the Heat, after all, most of the Lakers' offensive firepower is on Kobe, and the Heat's scoring ability is super strong whether it is Wade or James, although the Lakers have Gasol Odom Baidam and other interior strongmen, but compared with Wade James Bosh Big Three is still a little worse, when the game reached eight minutes, the Lakers 23:27 behind the Heat by four points, Kobe Bryant scored 12 points in a single quarter, and others scored 11 points, in which, Wang Meng had two assists and two points. In other words, if Wang Meng is not counted, the other members of the Lakers only have five points in the account.
Phil's brows furrowed, Bosh is soft enough to be a qualified insider, but Gasol is softer than Bosh, and it is really a mountain that is softer than a mountain.
Gasol is soft, the core of the triangle offense is gone, the power plummets, and most of them rely on players to play alone, which is very bad for the Lakers. Although small forward Artest can limit James, it is obviously not particularly ideal. Although center Bydam is talented, his current offensive ability is still not strong and he can't take on too much of the team's offense.
"Wang Meng, if I let you play now, can you be in charge of the Lakers' offensive mission?" Looking at the game on the field with a frown, Phil suddenly asked Wang Meng, who was drinking Gatorade.
"Me?" Wang Meng almost didn't squirt. "I'm in charge of the offense?"
"Can't you?" Phil asked.
"I can do it!" Just kidding, saying that if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, Wang Meng immediately stood up.
"Okay, I'll replace Kobe Bryant as a guard in a while, you can only be responsible for offense, and Fisher will pass the ball to you." Phil patted Wang Meng on the shoulder, a young man, I am optimistic about you.
Phil just slapped Wang Meng on the shoulder, and Wade's breakthrough caused Gasol's foul.
When it came to the penalty shoot, Phil replaced Kobe with Wang Meng, Gasol with Odom, and Bydam with Russell Hicks. This Hicks Wang Meng has not been very familiar with him, and he usually does not play for a long time, and the position of the center is generally Gasol and Bydam, and the others rarely play.
"Phil just replaced Kobe Bryant with Wang Meng, and Wang Meng's performance before could only be said to be average, only getting two points and two assists." Smith looked at the players on the court and said: "The Heat have only replaced Bosh now, Wade and James are on the court, so the gap between the score of the Lakers and the Heat may be even greater."
"That's natural, Wang Meng even played a scoring guard, and he and Wade are simply looking for abuse. I bet he won't even get a five. Barkley didn't even look at Wang Meng, and immediately came to a conclusion. Barkley has always disliked shooting type players, and everyone in the league knows that Barkley loves physical confrontation, he is only 1.98 meters tall, but he has always played the power forward position, and he can still get an average of 20 plus 10 per game in his career, which shows his ability. Many of his taller interior career rebounds are less than 10 per game.
Listening to Barkley's loud words, Smith suddenly sounded the bet he made with Barkley a long time ago, and that bet ended up being won by him, and Barkley was willing to gamble and finally kissed the donkey's buttocks. Thinking about it, Smith suddenly said: "It's better to be like this, Barkley, this time this person is still Chinese, how about we make another bet?" ”
"Bet on what?" Buckley, the gambler, immediately asked, and then he immediately remembered the hateful big man, shivered and shook his head, "I don't gamble, I have recently quit gambling." ”
"Really?" Smith smiled weirdly, "I remember seeing a pig in the casino yesterday, and it seemed to be dazzled." ”
"Absolutely dazzling." Barkley wiped the sweat from his head and pandered, "Let's get back to the game." Look, Wang Meng controlled the ball and attacked. ”
Wang Meng dribbled the ball, and standing opposite was Wade, this was the first time Wang Meng had confronted a famous star in the league, and Rose, who was the biggest name before, was just a rookie who had just passed the second year, and there was still a distance from a long-established star like Wade.
Fortunately, Wang Meng often goes heads-up with Kobe, and the habit of not being shocked in the face of playing cards has been cultivated, so he is not flustered in the face of Wade, suddenly jumps, and pulls out directly against Wade, and the basketball hollows into the net, which is Wang Meng's specialty, as long as the defender is a little farther away from him, Wang Meng will immediately pull it out, and the effect is very good.
"Good ball, very simple, it seems that this Wang Meng still has two more hits." "And he's got to five points, Mr. Charles? ”
"I'm talking about him facing Wade! It's not his total score," Barkley waved his hand, "the two can't be confused." ”
Wade looked at Wang Meng in surprise, "Not bad, the shooting posture is very beautiful." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Wang Meng said with a smile as he retreated to the backfield.
It's just a casual remark, and neither of them is at ease.
Chalmers passed the basketball to James, and James carried Artest to force a layup, but Artai was one of the few small forwards who could compete with James in strength, and he resisted James to the death, and the basketball did not score.
Odom grabbed the rebound and passed it to Fisher, Fisher immediately started a fast break, passed the ball to Wang Meng, who had run to the three-point line, Wang Meng received the ball and threw it, Wade, who was not far from Wang Meng, immediately jumped and blocked, who knew that Wang Meng immediately collected the ball, quickly withdrew from the three-point line to shoot, and the basketball was hollow into the net again.
Immediately, there was a cheer on the field, "Three points!" Wang: Fierce! DJ shouted passionately.
"Mr. Charles, it's six." Smith said with a smile.
"Oh, it's a nice day." Barkley said, pointing to the ceiling and Smith.
