Chapter 350: Provocation from George

readx;

The end of January is approaching, which also means the end of the All-Star Weekend voting and the confirmation of the All-Star starting list. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info points

For the All-Star, Wang Cannon has long been less concerned, because he knows very well that no matter what, he will be 100% an All-Star starter, which is not a little surprising.

Just imagine, a Celestial Empire player, a Celestial Empire player who can average 40 points + 15 rebounds + 5 assists + 5 blocks + 5 steals per game, if he can't even choose the start of the All-Star Weekend, then he still plays eggs?

This year's All-Star Weekend starting lineup has changed a lot from previous years, as far as starting guards in the West are concerned, Paul was injured not long ago and lost to Steve Curry, who has been eye-catching recently, and Kobe Bryant also won the vote due to injury, but had to give up the starting point guard position to someone else.

In terms of forwards, Wang Cannon's position as a small forward is far ahead of everyone, including the votes of the Eastern vote King James can also not compete with Wang Cannon.

Durant, who is also a small forward, can only be squeezed into the position of power forward very speechlessly, who makes him completely unable to compare with Wang Cannon in terms of performance and popularity?

Wang Cannon and Durant, two small forwards, each occupy a starting seat, and it hurts when it is the turn of a real interior player. Griffin, Howard, and Love competed for a starting position, and the votes of the three of them rose for a long time, but in the end, Griffin, who was in the City of Angels, was better and forcibly snatched the starting center position from Howard and Love.

The competition for All-Star starters in the West is fierce, while the East is much more lackluster.

On the guard side, point guard Irving, split Wade, and small forward James have been in the lead since the first round, and basically no one can shake it, followed by Anthony and Paul George are also selected as All-Star starters. It's just that such a lineup with no real inside line at all still feels a bit nondescript no matter how you look at it.

The All-Star has become clear, but the Lakers' record is like the gloom of the capital, which cannot be dissipated for a long time.

On January 29, the Lakers, who finally returned to their home court, met the Pacers, the leaders of the East.

The game was particularly tough for the Lakers from the start, as Wang was defended by two Pacers players from the start.

Paul George, Lance. Stevenson. The two Pacers backcourt defensive guards kept an eye on Wang from the start, and they were all staring at the ball.

Since joining the Lakers this season, Wang Cannon has been as if he was suddenly on fire, scoring never less than 30 points, and his shooting rate has exceeded 50 percent.

But George and Stevenson's bag defense made Wang Cannon a little uncomfortable.

The Pacers themselves are currently one of the best defensive teams in the league, both 1v1 and regional defense, and their two-man wrapping tactics against Wang Cannon are obviously also specially practiced.

The two guys were one after the other, and George, who had an absolute advantage in height and arm span, stood in front of the king cannon. Use the advantage of a lot of length over the king cannon to block others from passing the ball to the king cannon, and Stevenson is in the position of the main king cannon in the back, even if it is too much inferior to the king cannon in terms of strength, but even if it can block a little, then it is enough.

Under the defense of these two goods, Wang Cannon basically didn't score much in the first quarter, to be precise, he basically didn't get much basketball.

The Pacers are good enough to shoot three-pointers, even if they let others shoot threes. and definitely does not give Wang Cannon the slightest possibility of catching the ball.

It has to be said that this tactic was very successful. In the first quarter, the Pacers and Lakers played 29:19, and they had a 10-point advantage from the beginning, and if it weren't for the Lakers' outside feeling good today, hitting several three-pointers, the difference might have been even greater.

In the first quarter, Wang Cannon was very depressed, and he had no energy. But there is no way to do it.

If Wang Cannon forcibly used his strength to push the two of them away and run out to catch the ball, it would not be impossible, but he did it once at the beginning, but what he got was a foul whistle from the referee.

There is an Argentine actor Scola in the Pacers lineup, and under the influence of this guy, George and Stevenson have more or less learned some moves.

All in all. In the first quarter, their defense against Wang Cannon was very successful, and the overly smooth defense also made the Pacers' young people flutter.

Paul George's rise was so sudden that no one could have imagined that this 10-year rookie would suddenly grow into a star player who could wrestle with James, Durant, Anthony and other super small forwards.

This season, George has been up against a number of famous small forwards, including James, Durant and Anthony. Many media outlets have begun to claim that George will be one of the league's five big and small forwards.

All sorts of accolades came to Paul, and while enjoying the accolades, Paul also found a problem.

He had never been in a serious position with Wang Dacang.

Generally, when the Pacers play with Wang Cannon, the person responsible for defending Wang Cannon is the stronger West, and even if he goes to defend Wang Cannon, it is at most a supplementary defense or assistant defense or something.

And when George attacks, Wang Cannon generally doesn't keep an eye on him, at most it's a supplemental defense, and Wang Cannon's supplemental defense is generally quietly rushing behind you to reward you with a big hat or something.

All in all, since the beginning of this season, George has never suffered a loss against various super small forwards, except for Wang Cannon.

So when he learned not long ago that he would be responsible for guarding Wang Cannon in this game, George felt a lot of strength in his heart, he wanted to prove to everyone that I, George, are no worse than anyone else, even Wang Cannon, who is now known as the first person in the league!

George was very satisfied with the defense in the first quarter, and although he had Stevenson's help, it was a real fact that he had killed the king cannon.

"Humph! Now those media have nothing to say, right? ”

In a state of great pride, Paul George also began to flutter when he left the game after the first quarter.

When he walked into Wang Cannon's side, he couldn't help but be excited and said a word to Wang Cannon.

"I didn't think you were anything but that."

"Huh?"

When Wang Dacang heard this, his ears immediately pricked up.

He turned his head and looked at George, who was nearly a head taller than him, and said, "Boy, didn't anyone teach you how to respect your seniors?" Why don't I teach you? (To be continued.) )
