Chapter 24: Brush Assists
The Heat didn't score three points at the whistle, and the first quarter of the game officially ended, and Wang Meng unconsciously created a moment of his own. From the time of eight and a half minutes, in three and a half minutes, Wang Meng scored eleven points alone, with a 100% shooting rate, which not only tied the score, but also made the Heat's Wade and James lose face.
It may seem incredible, but Wang Meng did it. Sitting on the seat in the locker room, his teammates kept patting him on the shoulder or head, and Wang Meng's sweat was already wet all over his body.
Originally, his physical fitness was not good, and he used two instant explosions in a row before the end of the first quarter. The instantaneous burst is to consume physical strength according to the actions made by the user after opening, and Wang Meng's two instantaneous bursts are all super difficult actions, and under the five times the physical consumption in the instantaneous burst, Wang Meng is already exhausted.
Phil Jackson praised Wang Meng a lot, then laid out his tactics, and then the game continued.
"Can you still play?" Sitting on the sidelines, Phil asked Wang Meng.
"It's hard to say." Wang Meng shook his head, "The physical exertion just now was too great, I'm afraid it will be difficult to play in the second quarter." ”
The second quarter of the game has just begun, and the score of the two teams is tied at 34-34, and both sides are back to the starting line, but the Lakers are Shannon Brown, Kobe, Barnes, Odom, and Gasol on the court, while the Heat only have Arroyo, McMiller, James, Bosh and Michelle Gladnes. Judging from the strength of the players on both sides or the Lakers' advantage, the Heat has a lot of poor bench lineups in order to get the Big Three combination.
Although the lineup is slightly weaker, the Heat did not fall behind the game, at the beginning of the game, James kept venting his anger at being blocked by Wang Meng, Artest went down to rest, how could Barnes prevent the angry James? The poor child was staggered by James, and almost didn't cry, and then there was no way Phil used Odom to defend James, but Odom's defense also couldn't limit James, but fortunately, Kobe's play was also good, so the score never opened again, as for Gasol and Bosh, these two players seem to have disappeared, and they may talk about life and the future together.
A few minutes later, Spoelstra replaced James and replaced Wade, and the two offensive experts led the team for a while, and the score was always on the rise, while on the Lakers' side, Bydam and Artest were up, and Barnes and Odom were down.
The first half of the game ended quickly, the Lakers and the Heat scored less than the first quarter in the second quarter, the Lakers scored 20 points, the Heat scored 23 points, the Heat led the Lakers by three points at 57:54, Phil frowned, his triangle offense has not been able to play effectively, today Gasol is not very powerful, has not been able to play dominant, in the locker room, Phil focused on Gasol's offense, asking him to increase his attack in the second half and increase the number of shots.
At the beginning of the second half, Gasol really increased the number of attacks, and the effect was also very good, Gasol was soft, after all, he was also an All-Star level power forward, seeing how soft he was in the NBA now, but in the international game, the United States team was most afraid of the Spanish team he led.
Although Gasol's side is open, but the Heat's Big Three's turn offense still makes the Lakers a little unbearable, the Heat's Big Three are different from the Celtics' Big Three, the Celtics Big Three Garnett Pierce Ray Allen, the three have their own division of labor, Garnett's interior offense and defense, Pierce's mid-range offense, Ray Allen's outside shooting, the Big Three play team basketball, and the Heat Big Three are all heads-up talents, most of the time they score in singles, so that the firepower of the Heat Big Three can be brought into play, No matter which team it is, it has to let the Heat fire burn to ashes.
How difficult it is to prevent the Big Three, Bosh can say something, Wade and James are players at the same level as Kobe, and there is no one in this world who can completely prevent them.
So although Phil's triangle offense was opened, it still didn't pull the score away, and even fell behind.
Phil's brows furrowed again, he really felt it was difficult to lead the Lakers this year, although the Lakers lineup was still strong, but he always had a feeling that he couldn't move. Looking at the field, Phil's eyes couldn't help but look at Wang Meng again, and now the only thing he can do is Wang Meng.
"Wang Meng, go on the court, don't play too hard, accumulate physical strength to prepare for the fourth quarter." Phil Anton.
"Got it." Looking at the Lakers' score on the court, Wang Meng was also a little anxious, the victory in this game is directly related to his reward, the task requirements are required to get two doubles, but he only has two assists now, which means that he must brush up on the assists in the next time, which is a difficult task, and many point guards may not be able to get ten assists in the whole game.
Phil called a timeout while the Lakers were in possession of the ball, then replaced Kobe Gasol to rest and replaced Wang Meng and Odom.
As soon as Wang Meng came up, Barkley suddenly shouted, "Haha, this kid is up, Wade and James are going to have a headache again, his dunk just now was too exciting, and now it seems to be echoing in my mind." ”
"Let's look forward to what Wang Meng will perform." Smith responded and said.
As soon as he got on the court, Wang Meng assisted Bydam to make a layup, turning his assists into three.
Wang Meng came on the court and pushed Shannon Brown to the point guard, Wade wanted to retaliate and couldn't find anyone, so he could only vent his anger with Brown, although Shannon Brown was extremely physical, but when he met Wade, he was still played like a child, and Wade easily assisted Haslem to shoot after breaking through.
Wang Meng followed Odom's block and burst inside, and then passed the ball to Shannon Brown while Wade was making up for the defense, and Brown hit a three-point shot.
Wang Meng found that it was quite easy to patiently make assists.
The Lakers just made a three-point shot, the Heat immediately made free throws, Wade received the ball and immediately made a long pass to James, who had already run past half court, James singled Odom to score easily, and the Heat's fast break was too fast.
Next, Wang Meng passed the ball to Odom, Odom couldn't shoot, Bydam grabbed the offensive rebound and didn't score, so the Heat won the rebound, but fortunately, Bosh didn't score the shot either. Wang Meng pumped the cold and wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but James saw the right time and gave a hat, Wade was also blocked by Bydam with the ball, and the offense of both sides was a little stagnant for a while.
Until the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was still not large, and the Heat led the Lakers by two points at 79-77. Wang Meng didn't attack in this section, and he couldn't attack, without an instant explosion, his offense was only shooting, and as a point guard, he couldn't just catch the ball and shoot. However, although he did not attack, he has been brushing assists, and the results are very good, he brushed five assists in a single quarter, plus the previous two, his assists have been seven, and it is easy to get three in the fourth quarter.
