Chapter 127: The situation is not good
Monty knew that this style of play was not the way, but because the time was too short, he could only hold on like this, and during the Bulls' timeout, he replaced Wang Meng, and then let Gasol, who had only rested for less than a few minutes, come on the court.
Gasol, as an all-star power forward, is very strong, but his data has always been unpopular, which is also for a reason, first of all, he wants to give Kobe Bryant a lot of shooting rights in the Lakers, and then in order to ensure the growth of Bydam, Gasol has to give up part of the shooting rights and rebounds on the inside, plus the position played by the sixth man Odom is a power forward, which also shortens Gasol's playing time, so Gasol has been Lakers for so many years, and the best data he got is only an average of 18+10 per game. It seems to be very bad, but in fact, Gasol's level can be called the world's top power forward, he not only has a very comprehensive technique, but also has extremely superior physical fitness, super high basketball IQ, maybe his only drawback in the position of power forward is that he is a little soft, all other than that can be considered qualified.
Coming to the Hornets, Gasol's position wants to be put in a very important position like the Grizzlies again, and even if it is true, the Hornets currently attach more importance to Gasol than Wang Meng, although Wang Meng got very surprising results last season, but compared to Gasol's strong reputation for so many years, it is still inferior.
Gasol also lived up to the expectations of the Hornets uniforms, and immediately stepped up to take on the offensive responsibility after returning from the timeout, relying on his rich offensive means to teach the anti-bone Boozer a good lesson.
With Gasol and Wang Menglian taking turns to exert their power, the Hornets finally improved a little, and at the end of the first quarter, the score was 28:27, surpassing the Bulls by one point.
"We can see that the Hornets are in the lead right now, but obviously they have a lot of problems, and they are not as fluid as the Bulls' offense." "The score in the first quarter wasn't high, and that's to be expected, and very few teams playing against the Bulls scored more than 100 points," Barkley said. And now the Hornets and Bulls are both the same and the score is not high, but let's take a closer look, in the first quarter, Wang Meng scored 10 points, Gasol scored 11 points, and the two together scored 21 points, that is, the other people combined scored 7 points. ”
"In comparison, everyone in the Bulls' starters has scored points, the offensive firepower is very average, and it is obvious that there is a reasonable tactical arrangement, and we can't blame the Hornets, after all, they just completed a big deal and encountered a shutdown incident, and there is no time to do special tactical training, so they can only rely on the singles of the stars to solve the problem. The only thing we can expect now is how far the star can play and whether he can lead the Hornets to their first win of the new season. ”
At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides sent substitute lineups to play, and soon the Hornets fans frowned.
"Coach, give me back." Wang Meng, who had rested early in the first section, naturally couldn't sit still when he saw this, so he took the initiative to ask for help.
Monty thought about it, and there was not much he could do, so he could only let Wang Meng play, and at the same time he was ruthless in his heart, and after the game was over, he and the assistant coaches must quickly study several sets of tactics suitable for the Hornets.
Wang Meng was substituted, and the Bulls happened to replace Rose at this time.
The two men immediately faced each other again.
But at this time, Wang Meng was no longer in the mood to play 1v1 with Rose, when the team was able to win, Wang Meng was in a good mood to play like this, which was very interesting, but when the team encountered offensive difficulties, Wang Meng was more like revitalizing the whole team.
So Wang Meng, who held the ball, did not choose to single Rose, but handed the ball to Green, the scoring guard on the side, and then took Rose to the bottom line, ready to run out to catch the ball.
What made Wang Meng extremely painful was that Green, who received Wang Meng's pass, didn't wait for Wang Meng at all, and didn't look at it after receiving Wang Meng's pass, and directly held the basketball to the inside. Naturally, the result was very unsuccessful, although it was not blocked, but it was impossible to score.
Asik directly confiscated the rebound.
"Don't try to break in, the Bulls' defense won't be that easy to break into." Wang Meng and Green said.
Green didn't speak, and I don't know if he heard it, but Wang Meng couldn't care about Green at this time, Asik passed the ball to Rose, and Rose took advantage of Wang Meng's words when he had already pulled out his legs and ran to the Hornets half.
Rose's speed is very fast, Wang Meng feels that even if he is no worse than Wadeby, this guy's progress is also very big, Wang Meng, who is one step behind, can't catch up at all, so he can only watch Rose shake off his teammates in front of him and score an easy layup.
"I'm in trouble." Wang Meng was secretly depressed in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, he had to blame himself for this ball.
Since it is his own mistake, then he has to find it back by himself, this is Wang Meng's idea at the moment, with such an idea, revitalizing the whole team is temporarily put in the back of his mind, he can see a little clearly, these people on the field now, it is not easy to revitalize, it is better to spend this effort on the offense, so maybe the situation is better.
Standing in front of the Bulls' three-point line, Wang Meng beckoned, signaling the players to come over to block the demolition, to Wang Meng's embarrassment, no one responded to his movements, and the four Hornets players all stood there on their own, waiting for Wang Meng to attack or hand the ball to them.
"It seems that Wang Meng is not doing well in the new team." Seeing this situation, Barkley couldn't help but say: "If it were me, when I arrived at the new team, I would definitely go head-to-head with everyone first, and after beating them all up, I would announce that the boss of this team was me, so that this would not happen." Barkley obviously overlooked that this year is only Wang Meng's second year in the league, and rookies always have to be bullied by the old birds when they first enter the league.
"You idiots! Can't see the gestures? I haven't eaten yet, have I? Monty was furious at this scene and yelled on the sidelines.
Hearing Monty's call, a Wasp player ran over and blocked a demolition for Wang Meng, the quality of this demolition was obviously very poor, not only slow but also had no effect at all, Rose had already let go of the way as soon as he stepped back lightly.
"Damn, it's obviously perfunctory!" Wang Meng was angry in his heart, looked at the time, it was no longer enough, and he had no choice but to make a hasty move.
Seeing this, Rose jumped with all his strength, raising his arm to the elder, intending to interfere with Wang Meng's shooting, in fact, it also interfered, the basketball was touched by Rose's fingertips and flew high in the sky.
"I'll you." Wang Meng looked at the basketball that was confiscated again, couldn't help but roll his eyes, and scolded in his heart.
