Chapter 214: Nuggets Series (2)
Against the Hornets, the Nuggets seem to have little to no power to fight back, which is also one of the weaknesses of the civilian team, when the players are locked up by the defense, the civilian team has no superstar who can step up and use their offensive ability to break the deadlock. In this case, the difference between the Nuggets and Hornets in the second quarter became wider and wider, and halfway through the second quarter, the score gap between the two sides came to 39:22, and the Nuggets trailed by 17 points in less than half of the Hornets' home court.
Monty couldn't close his mouth with a smile and called out "Good! Good! Even in his mind, he had already imagined the scene of himself leading the team to the finals.
Monty's fantasy had only lasted for a short moment, and it was shattered in no time, and it was shattered.
Halfway through the second quarter, Monty replaced the starting lineup and rested and replaced him with Pacgo. Thorton, Alexander, Smith and Gray made up a pure bench lineup, and the Nuggets also brought on players such as Miller, Brewer, Harrington, and McGee.
Then Monty watched in amazement as the Wasp collapsed.
Harrington and McGee are both capable starters, and Miller is old, but the state is very good, these three players are fully capable of playing the main force, but in the Nuggets played the bench, and on the other hand, on the Hornets, only one Thorton has a little strength, the defensive end is still a hole, and what is even more unfortunate is that when Thorton met Brewer, who is famous for his iron-blooded defense, he also withered, and all two consecutive shots were inaccurate, allowing the Nuggets to seize the opportunity to score consecutive fast-break points, Quickly pulled the score gap from 17 points back to within 10 points.
This small 8:0 attack wave made Monty immediately wake up from the fantasy just now.
"Defend! What do you all eat? Defend them, don't let them attack so easily! Monty yelled from the sidelines.
At the same time as Monty called, Miller once again used Harrington's block to easily pass Thorton, and before Smith came to defend him, a throw was made, the basketball did not go in, Gray wanted to jump up and grab the rebound, McGee behind him immediately jumped high like a rocket ascending into the sky, grabbed the rebound on Gray's head, and then dunked the basketball into the basket on Gray's head.
At 10:0, the score gap changed from 17 points to 7 points in less than 5 minutes.
Monty took a deep breath and called a timeout decisively.
Looking at the dejected substitutes, Monti's lips moved, and he wanted to curse, but thinking that his team seemed to be still ahead, he suppressed this thought for the time being.
"Wang Meng, Wallace, Gasol, get ready to play, Oden's physical strength has not been good, and he is resting for a while." Monty knows that if he doesn't play the main force at this time, the Hornets' lead will certainly be out of place in a few minutes, and even if he puts this aside and is overtaken after a 17-point lead, it will be a very serious blow to the momentum. "Wang Meng, the next few balls will be tougher and drive the momentum."
Wang Meng nodded, looking at the cheering appearance of the Nuggets with blazing eyes, and a sneer appeared on his face, "Enjoy this joy, you should cry in a while." ”
Seeing that the Hornets changed to the main lineup, the Nuggets replaced with Lawson and Miller's two-point guard combination, the forwards were replaced by Gallinari and Farid, and the center was still McGee.
The player is a Hornets, Wang Meng walked through the half court with the ball, looked at Lawson who was staring at him with a serious face, and couldn't help laughing, "Hey, do you really think you can guard me?" At your level, it's a lot worse than me, I remember you provoked me in the regular season, remember the result? I got 23 points and 13 assists, you only had 15 points and 7 assists, and they got it after I got out. ”
Lawson looked at Wang Meng with an angry face, no matter who was exposed like this, he couldn't stand it, he threw himself forward, and pointed his finger on the basketball.
It's a pity that Wang Meng was prepared, although Lawson touched the basketball, but he just touched it, Wang Meng used an extremely skillful back dribble, passed Lawson, and rushed to the inside.
Seeing this, McGee immediately strode towards Wang Meng.
McGee, this player is estimated to be known to most Chinese who watch the NBA, not because he is very bullish, but because Yao Ming announced his retirement after being injured by him, although it was the inevitable result of Yao Ming's years of illness, but McGee was the trigger for this incident.
This player is very interesting, when he was in the Wizards, he was often considered to be brainless, because he often did some unbelievable things, just like a brainless person, such a player is also a headache for the head coach, even so, his own perverted physical fitness, superhuman movement speed and bounce ability still made the Nuggets decide to use the main center Nene to exchange for this half-brain.
After coming to the Nuggets, McGee is much more normal than in the Wizards, although he often puts on funny scenes, but these are low-level mistakes, which are undoubtedly much better than his brain-dead career in the Wizards.
I don't know why, as soon as Wang Meng saw McGee, he immediately became angry, it was this bastard who abolished Yao Ming, there are very few Chinese players in the NBA, and there are only two of them at the level of Yao Ming and Wang Meng, McGee killed one at once, so how can Wang Meng not be angry.
Almost without any hesitation, Wang Meng turned on an instant burst and rushed towards McGee.
"Come on! Watch me give you a big hot pot! McGee cracked his mouth and laughed, looking at Wang Meng who was rushing towards him, as if looking at a prey.
Wang Meng hugged the basketball, took two big steps at the free throw line, and then slammed on the ground and jumped high.
Facing Wang Meng, McGee also jumped up.
In an instant, the bodies of the two people collided violently.
"Ahh Taylor, who had been following the game in the private room, screamed, and Lis, who was originally half-lying on the other side, also sat up and looked at Wang Meng nervously.
"Get out of here~!" Wang roared angrily, straightened his waist, and once again surged up a force, directly pushing McGee away, and then holding the basketball with both hands and pouring the basketball into the basket.
"Boom!" The powerful force shook the basket constantly, as if it would fall down at any moment, but the reporters sitting behind the basket didn't care at all, they just pressed the shutter of the camera, trying to keep this scene in the camera forever.
McGee was hit by Wang Meng like this, flew out in embarrassment, fell to the ground and retreated several steps, and then stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.
"Want to cover me? It's up to you? Wang Meng fell from under the basket and looked at McGee condescendingly, sneering.
