Chapter 220: Nuggets Series (8)

Seeing McGee jump, Gasol was overjoyed, took the basketball back, dodged McGee and scored a layup, the whole process was called a relaxed and freehand.

At this time, the Nuggets head coach was really anxious, and at this time, there were still five minutes before the end of the whole quarter, and Gasol's rhythm of scoring 7 points and an assist in a row made the Nuggets' original good form disappear. He hurriedly called a timeout to stabilize his rhythm.

"What a good fight!" Wang Meng said excitedly after Gasol got off the court: "Well done, in this way, our chances of winning this game are already very big." ”

Gasol smiled slightly.

"Wang Meng, you prepare, when there are two minutes left in the game, I will replace you on the court." Monty said.

"No problem." Seeing that the Hornets already had a 9-point lead, Wang Meng's heart finally relaxed a little, and he was also stable on the bench.

"They're going to focus on Gasol next, so Gasol don't play alone." Monty said solemnly with the tactical board. "You're going to keep asking for the ball in the low post, and I want you to pass it out and give it to the other players after you draw the bag in the low post, understand?"

Gasol nodded.

"Tony, you're weak in long-range shooting, so don't wait on the outside, just stand at the free throw line and wait for an open cut. The outside line is given to Wallace and Thornton, and Oden is in charge of grabbing the rebounds, understand? ”

The hornets shouted in unison, "Understood! ”

The game continued to start, and after the beginning, Monty set up a little problem with the tactics, and Gasol couldn't squeeze inside.

That's right, Gasol couldn't even squeeze in the inside line under McGee's strict defense.

During the timeout, the Nuggets' head coach didn't have time to lay out the tactics, and all the time was spent on one thing, teaching McGee how to defend Gasol.

"Stop him! Don't let him enter the inside line, his physical fitness is deviant, his confrontation ability is insufficient, you have to have physical contact with him at all times, use your body to oppress him! The Nuggets head coach repeatedly emphasized that McGee unconsciously appeared in his head even if he didn't want to listen to the head coach's reminder.

Gasol couldn't even get in on the inside, he finally got in, and he was always entangled by McGee, he couldn't catch the ball at all, and there was no such thing as a low-post receiving strategy, Soton saw this, looked at the remaining offensive time, and decisively decided to come by himself.

Thorton broke through for a layup, and Farid, who had been lurking inside for a long time, jumped out with a big hat and fanned it, Gallinari received the block, pounced on the Hornets halfcourt non-stop, and scored a layup under Wallace's marking.

Switching offense and defense, Thorton once again came to the Nuggets half court with the ball, watching Gasol, who was standing on the inside and constantly fighting with McGee and had no time to take care of himself, Thorton knew that it was unrealistic to want to pass the ball to Gasol.

However, he didn't dare to play on his own, Thorton's strength was shooting, not breaking through to score, but now he couldn't find a suitable shot under the pressure of Leyson, so he handed the basketball to Tony Allen and threw it aside to play soy sauce.

Allen received the ball and hesitated, should he go on it himself, or should he pass it to Wallace who was next to him? Thinking that he was not good at attacking with the ball, Allen still handed the ball to Wallace.

After two transfers of the ball, there was not much time left, Wallace immediately broke through after receiving the ball, but the long-handed and long-legged Gallinari continued to interfere with Wallace when Wallace broke through, and even clicked out the basketball in Wallace's hand when Wallace dribbled.

Lawson's eyes were quick, he flew to the ground, grabbed the ball in his arms, and then clung to the basketball and lost the ball, the Hornets players immediately retreated, Lawson broke through the ball, assisted Farid for a layup, and caused Gasol's foul.

Wang Meng saw that the Hornets' offensive rhythm was in chaos, and he immediately became anxious, he looked at the time, at this time it was only more than 1 minute, and there were still 4 minutes before the end of the game, but he couldn't wait.

"Coach! I'm going to play now! Wang Meng and Monty said: "Now the team's offense is in a stalemate, I have to lead the team's attack, otherwise even if I wait two more minutes to play, the score will definitely not be as leading as now!" ”

Monty hesitated, feeling that it would be useless for Wang Meng to rest for two more minutes, and it was likely to cause the Hornets to be overtaken, so he nodded, "Okay!" You're on the field! ”

Wang Meng didn't say a word and ran to the court.

Gallinari scored the first goal and the Hornets made a substitution, replacing Thorton with Wang Meng.

As soon as Wang Meng came on the court, the applause of the New Orleans Arena rang out again, and Wang Meng's desperate fans around the world in this game were all in the eyes, and there was no fan who did not admire Wang Meng's fighting spirit.

When Gallinari took the second shot, Wang Meng approached Lawson with bad intentions. "Hey, boy, did you lose confidence in basketball when you saw me playing? Don't worry, you'll be sent off the field by me soon, and watch me finish this game obediently. ”

Lawson looked at Wang Meng angrily, and said in his heart Wang Meng, how can a foreigner spew trash talk more proficiently than himself, an American, it sounds really upsetting, in fact, trash talk is not the key, although Wang Meng kept chattering, but he did not directly insult Lawson with swear words, the difference in strength between the two sides is what really makes Lawson feel depressed, no matter who it is, when he is fully suppressed by the opponent, he will appear to be lacking in confidence, and he has no ability to fight back when the other party keeps provoking him.

Gallinari's second free throw was also a free throw, and the Nuggets scored four points in a row to narrow the gap to three points, and the Hornets were in danger at the moment, but no one was worried, because Wang Meng was on the court.

Although he has only played with Wang Meng for a short time, the Hornets players have a feeling that as long as Wang Meng is on the court, he can always create miracles.

After receiving Gasol's serve, Wang dribbled twice and found that his legs were still a little weak.

"It doesn't look like you can break through." Wang Meng said secretly, and at the same time controlled the ball and ran through the half.

Lawson stared at Wang Meng with a serious face, and at the same time, Afflaro's eyes not far from him were also locked on this side, as long as Wang Meng made a big move, he would definitely not hesitate to run over and wrap Wang Meng, even at the cost of missing Tony Allen.

It's a pity that all their calculations were wrong, and when they walked outside the three-point line, Lawson just wanted to meet and defend, but Wang Meng didn't wait for Lawson to come over, so he jumped on the spot and pulled the basketball out in his hand.

Lawson was taken aback, he didn't see Wang Meng shoot at such a distance in the whole game, Lawson thought that Wang Meng would not shoot such a shot in order to seek stability, but he didn't expect that at such a critical time, Wang Meng chose such an offensive method without hesitation. This also made Lawson have no time to interfere with Wang Meng.

"Huh!" The crisp sound of brushing the net made Lawson's heart cold, and he didn't have to look back, Lawson knew that the goal had definitely scored.

Just as he was about to turn around and prepare to receive the serve, Lawson suddenly saw Wang Meng's somewhat annoyed look, and at the same time, there were bursts of disappointed sighs from fans in his ears.

"What's going on?" Lawson subconsciously looked back, only to see McGee stunned under the basket, holding the basketball in his hand. He was passing the ball to Aflaro, who was next to him for the ball.

Lawson noticed that McGee was standing in the court, that is, the ball didn't go in, so to speak, the sound of the net just now proved that Wang Meng's shot didn't even touch the frame?

In fact, as soon as Wang Meng made a move, his heart was sudden, and when he picked it up, he felt that his body was very soft, and the strength in his hand was not enough for him to send the basketball in his hand into the basket, but the basketball only touched the net and fell into McGee's arms in a daze.

"This guy's physical strength hasn't fully recovered yet!" Lawson was overjoyed, "No wonder this guy talked trash with me as soon as he came up and provoked me, it turned out that he was scaring me!" ”

Afflalo passed the ball to Lawson, who faced Wang Meng with an unkind smile on his face.

"Wang Meng, you are already tired, even if you rest for a while off the field, it is impossible to recover your physical strength." Lawson was not in a hurry, and said to Wang Meng leisurely.

Wang Meng became a silent party this time, he just looked at Lawson and the basketball in his hand coldly, and seemed to have no words in Lawson's ears at all.

However, Lawson is not ready to continue, he wants to save time to attack, Wang Meng's physical strength is insufficient, the more he runs back and forth, the faster he will be dragged down, and the attack time will be shortened, which will make Wang Meng's burden even greater.

Without even feints, Lawson dribbled directly with his left hand and rushed straight to the left.

Wang Meng only resisted slightly, and was knocked away by Lawson and left behind.

After Lawson passed Wang Meng, he did not run to the basket arrogantly, but immediately made a jumper, so that Oden and Gasol, who wanted to make up for the defense, watched the basketball shoot helplessly.

The score gap became one point.

Throwing this ball, Lawson looked back at Wang Meng triumphantly, as if he wanted to prove that he scored very easily in front of Wang Meng, but he didn't see any emotion in Wang Meng's face.

"! Also loaded! I told you to pretend! The exhilarating feeling that Lawson had just scored was suddenly gone, and an evil fire suddenly rose from his chest.

Wang Meng held the ball to the halfcourt, Lawson stood firmly in the three-point line, and the ball that Wang Meng threw just now has told Lawson that it is impossible for Wang Meng's current physical strength to shoot far away from the three-point line, as long as he guards the three-point line and the three-point line, and does not let him break into the inside, Wang Meng can be completely blocked.

Wang Meng still had that indifferent expression, he walked a step outside the three-point line, and jumped again without the slightest hesitation, Lawson was stunned, Wang Meng's shooting position at this time was the same as the position where he threw the tennis ball just now, so he still wanted to throw it?

"Huh!" Listening to the sound of the Internet, the corners of Lawson's mouth couldn't help but rise, "It's better not to enter, I originally thought that Wang Meng was a smart person, but I didn't expect this guy to be such a dead brain." ”

"Wow!" The cheers that erupted in the stadium almost knocked Lawson over, and he looked back in disbelief to see McGee reluctantly exiting the court and serving on the sideline.

"This goal went in?"
