Chapter Thirty-Four: The Battle of Delon
I haven't played a game these days, I almost didn't suffocate Wang Meng, every night's training has made his strength grow greatly, the training system is very systematic, Wang Meng's defense used to rely on his own consciousness, and now he has learned a lot of defensive skills, and even a lot of small actions and trash talk have been learned. No way, whoever is abused by so many superstars every day will learn this.
On January 26th, the Lakers played at home against the Jazz, this was Wang Meng's first game after a ten-game ban, and he had to face the league's top point guard just after the game. Williams gets a taste of the defensive skills he's learned over the past 10 days.
In this game, Phil still put Wang Meng on the bench, and Fisher started.
At the start of the game, Bydam jumped over Al Jefferson, and Kobe Bryant caught the ball and broke through Ragabel to score with an easy shot.
Wang Meng didn't play in the whole game in the first quarter, and the anxious Wang Meng looked directly at Phil, but where the old god Phil was silent, it was exactly the same as his nickname, Zen Master.
Phil didn't speak, and Wang Meng didn't dare to ask, so he could only sit on the bench and watch the players run on the field.
The Lakers played the Jazz very easily, since Boozer transferred to the Bulls, it has been difficult for the Jazz to win, although they got an All-Star level interior Al Jefferson, but he is not familiar with Delon after all, and the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation between the two has not been particularly smooth, so most of the offense in the game is now Delon breaking through to score or split the ball.
By the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had a five-point lead over the Jazz at 31:26.
"Wang Meng, I'll be ready to play in a while."
Finally waiting for this sentence, Wang Meng almost didn't jump up, "Got it, head." ”
Kobe Bryant looked at Wang Meng and didn't speak, Phil intentionally or unintentionally staggered the playing time of Wang Meng and Kobe, Kobe naturally knew what was going on, Wang Meng is also a player who needs to attack with the ball, the offense is very strong, if he plays with Kobe, then there is no doubt that he has no priority offensive rights, after all, the boss of this team is Kobe, but if he and Kobe are staggered, then it will be easy to do, except for Kobe, everyone else has to support Phil, after all, Phil is the head coach, Not everyone has the veto power in Kobe's contract.
Wang Meng didn't think about it so much, he was so aggrieved these days, he must vent it well when he played.
Since it was a jump ball won by Bydam, the serve at the beginning of the second quarter was Jazz's.
The Jazz's current point guard is still Delon, DeLong has played eight minutes in the first quarter, and he played again at the beginning of the second quarter, which shows that the Jazz want to take advantage of the absence of Kobe Bryant Gasol and others to step up the pursuit of points.
It's just that they met a Wang Meng who was holding back his strength.
Wang Meng saw Delong controlling the ball, and immediately pounced, using his hands and feet, touching Delong's body, and at the same time his mouth was not honest, "Delong, have you eaten?" If you haven't eaten it, I'll invite you to eat hot pot, authentic Sichuan spicy hot pot, it's delicious, as long as you shoot a basket, you can eat it. ”
Wang Meng's small movements were very hidden, and the referee didn't see it at all, even if he did, he would only think that it was an unintentional touch, but in fact, the seemingly gentle strokes were pinching Delong's muscles.
No way, being abused by that group of superstars every day in the training space, Wang Meng had no way at all, one day he couldn't bear it anymore, and dragged Jordan who was about to dunk the windmill with both hands down, Jordan fell to the ground, but Wang Meng suddenly had a flash of inspiration. yes, I can't help but use small movements?
Is Bowen Bow's defense strong? No, Bowen's defense is actually average, and he can't compare with Artest and others, but why is he the most feared player in the league? Because he is ruthless and dares to jump in front of him, he has to risk being abolished by him, Maddie, Carter, these are all geniuses that he abolished single-handedly, and because of this, the players will be afraid to let go completely when facing him.
Since Wang Meng is not in good health and can't practice defense, why don't he learn Bowen's small movements?
Thinking of this, Wang Meng immediately went to find a large number of Bowen's video screens, and then learned Bowen's small movements, and used them one by one in the training space.
The superstars in the training space will not be injured, no matter how Wang Meng falls, it is the same as no one, but because of this, Wang Meng has also cultivated a wealth of experience, and as soon as he uses it today, it immediately makes Delong very uncomfortable, and it is even a little difficult to dribble for a while.
"This kid, he's been defending so well in a few days." Phil looked at Wang Meng's suffocating defense, "I like this Chinese player more and more."
"Haha, look at Delong, he is a little overwhelmed by Wang Meng's defense." **The TV station broadcast the Lakers game live today, and the commentary is still the golden partners Barkley and Smith, seeing Wang Meng on the court to force Delon at a loss, Barkley immediately laughed.
Seeing Barkley gloating on the side, Smith shook his head helplessly, "Charles, I remember you said that Deron is the No. 1 point guard in the league, why is this now?" ”
"I'm the standard Wang Mi now," Barkley smiled: "You see this kid's progress, it's scary, it's just that he hasn't played for ten games, and he has trained his defense like an old ballward who has been in the league for more than ten years, especially what he did in New Orleans before the ban, it's really fucking cool to think about it now, Delon has been playing in the league for several years, and he has always been like a good baby, how can a good baby become the ruler of the league?" ”
Smith: "Okay, let's get back to the game, Deron followed Jefferson's block to shake off Wang Meng, burst into the inside to make a layup, but unfortunately the basketball didn't go in, talked twice on the basket, and was grabbed by Odom for the rebound. ”
Odom grabbed the rebound and immediately passed it to Wang Meng, who held the basketball and rushed in.
was so embarrassed to be defended by Wang Meng, Delong's face was a little unbearable, and when he saw Wang Meng's fast attack, he immediately went up to block Wang Meng.
Delong's strength is the top among point guards, and it didn't open up the moment when Wang Meng broke out and was overturned by Delong, Wang Meng barely stood on one foot and passed the ball out, and then sat on the ground with his ass.
Odom received Wang Meng's return pass and immediately passed it to Barnes, who shook off the defender and hit a two-point shot at the free throw line, and the Lakers' overall shooting percentage was very good today.
"It's fine." Wang Meng got up from the floor and said to Delong: "You are really strong, just like a calf, you have the ability to collide with James." ”
DeLong ignored Wang Meng's words, just kidding, if you can bully you, isn't it looking for death to hit James's body that is comparable to a center?
