In order to save physical strength, Wang Meng did not control the ball for half of the court, but handed the ball to Belinelli, who took it to the frontcourt.

Belinelli handed the ball to Gasol, who lifted it high in the air as he had done before. Wang Meng took the opportunity to start running, and Rose behind him followed closely.

When Wang Meng ran into the inside line, Gasol handed the ball to Wang Meng, Boozer saw this and hurriedly came over to wrap Wang Meng with Rose, Wang Meng immediately made a ground pass, passed the ball to the empty Okafor, facing the empty basket, Okafor, who was almost only a distance from the free throw line, immediately shot.

"Box!" The sound of egg-wrenching iron sounded, Okafor's shot was really unbelievable, and he didn't score in such an empty position.

Looking at the tall Boozer next to him, Wang Meng really didn't have the confidence to grab the rebound.

Wang Meng can't grab the rebound, it doesn't mean that no one can grab it. "Ahh Gasol yelled, rarely tough, forced to the inside, and grabbed the rebound against Noah, who was defending him.

Grabbing the rebound, Gasol didn't pause at all, and raised his hand to put the basketball in the basket.

At this time, Noah jumped up violently, and it was already his mistake to get the offensive rebound by Gasol, he didn't want to make a mistake again and again, aiming at the basketball in Gasol's hand, Noah made a block and lined up the basketball on the rebound.

The basketball bounced off the rebound, only to hit Noah's arm halfway through, fell off, and was transferred to Wang Meng's hand.

"Huh? Backboard? In the face of the rebounds that fell from the sky, Wang Meng didn't have time to think about it, raised his hand to the basket, and Boozer immediately went up to block, but Wang Meng and Gasol were different, the point guard's layups were often twisted and twisted, and he couldn't find the position of the basketball at all, Boozer's block hit Wang Meng's hand, and the basketball hit the board into the basket.

"Defensive foul, goal valid, plus a penalty." The referee's decision made Wang Meng roar excitedly.

Free throws are scored steadily.

At 94:88, the difference between the two sides was only 6 points, and there were still more than 4 minutes left in the game.

"Do you still want to win? At least you'll have to guard against me. Rose grimaced.

Indeed, now Rose's breakthrough did cause a lot of interference to the Hornets' defense, Rose's next two breakaways caused Okafor to draw a foul and assist Noah for a dunk, while the Hornets were put in two two-pointers by Gasol and Belinelli, so that the score of the two sides has been deadlocked.

Wang Meng knows that this situation can't be in a hurry, the more anxious he wants to catch up with the score, the more flaws will appear, and he will be killed directly by the opponent, what he needs to do now is to ensure the hit rate, and then defend well, so that it is possible to catch up with the score.

That is to say, but it is very difficult to do it, and the current Hornets can only rely on Wang Meng and Gasol to ensure an efficient offense, which means that no matter who is the last to attack, the basketball must go through one of the two Wang Meng or Gasol.

The Bulls obviously know this, so they focus on Gasol and Wang Meng, and no matter where they receive the ball, they can ensure that there are two people in their defensive range.

It worked so well that by the minute remaining, the score difference between the two sides remained at six points.

Monty called him one last timeout, and although he was very reluctant, Monty knew that it was necessary, and whether he could win in the end would depend on the next fight.

"You did a good job, but if you want to win, you need to work harder, you give Wang Meng more off-ball cover, Wang Meng looks for opportunities to shoot three points." Monty arranged the last and first tactic of the game, "Play a ball, then defend a ball, and we have a chance of winning." ”

Monty can only believe in the three-point shooter at the moment Wang Meng, what Ariza, what Belinelli, there are no three-point shooters in this game at all, but Wang Meng, the point guard, has a very high three-point shooting rate today.

"It seems that Wang Meng is preparing to break the record today." Barkley looked at the technical statistics and couldn't help but admire: "There is still 1 minute before the end of this game, and Wang Meng has scored 45 points at this time, which is already the highest score in his career, I don't know if he can score 50 points in the next minute, you know, the youngest Mr. 50 points before is the rookie Brandon in the 09 season. Jennings played in the preseason, and if Wang Meng scored 50 points in this game, he would have won the title a few months earlier than Brandon. ”

Youngest Mr. 50 Points? Wang Meng doesn't have this concept yet, all he thinks about now is how to win this game.

"It's still the same sentence, guard against Wang Meng, don't let him catch the ball easily, don't let him run easily, don't let him shoot easily!" Thibodeau stressed again and again, "We are six points ahead, and as long as we defend solidly, it is not a problem to win against them." ”

The timeout is over, and the Hornets have the ball.

According to the previous tactical arrangement, Wang Meng continued to stay with Rose and run all over the field, since Wang Meng was not tired, Rose naturally would not shout tired, even if he was already very tired, but he still gritted his teeth and only followed Wang Meng.

Defense always consumes more energy than offense, which is common sense in basketball, not only that, but also to prevent some unexpected situations when defending, such as blocking and pick-and-roll, and defending with and without the ball is the same.

Rose dodged Ariza's block and chased after Wang Meng, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "Want to get rid of me so easily?" No way! But at that moment, Rose suddenly slipped and almost fell to the ground. Damn, this sucks. ”

This is the reason why there is a pool of sweat on the ground, I don't know who fell here before, wiped the sweat on the body, and the negligence of the employees who wiped the floor did not find out, which is usually a normal negligence, but now it can cause fatal mistakes.

"Pass the ball to Wang Meng!" Seeing the opportunity present itself, Monty almost didn't jump up and screamed from the sidelines.

At this time, it was Ariza who took the ball, Ariza was an honest man, and he didn't want some Hornets players to be so careful that he obediently passed the ball to Wang Meng, Wang Meng received the ball at the three-point line, and at this time, Lu Erdeng, who was closest to him, also had a long distance, Wang Meng had plenty of time to aim at the basket, and then shot.

This kind of shooting Wang Meng has been practiced countless times in the training space, unless someone interferes, otherwise he will definitely hit.

Now, of course, no one interferes, so the basketball flies into the basket very well.

"Damn it!" Rose scolded, "Damn the floor! ”

With only three points separating the score and forty seconds remaining, the Hornets didn't execute the foul tactics and they had to defend the ball.

The game reached this point, the players on both sides were red-eyed, no one didn't like to win, no one was willing to lose, and under the Hornets' iron-blooded defense, the Bulls have not had a good shot.

Watching the time pass little by little, Rose became more and more anxious, he didn't want to lose, especially in this case, losing was completely his own reason, this feeling was very unpleasant.

In this mentality, Rose exploded, and then Brewer's blocking, Rose separated Wang Meng, and at the same time shook off Belinelli, who wanted to come over to make up for the defense, and rushed into the interior like an angry bull with the basketball.

"Not good!" Wang Meng was shocked, if Rose was allowed to score again at this time, the five-point gap would not be able to catch up in the next time.
