Chapter 245: Full Defense!
When it comes to Wang Cannon, the first reaction in the mind of people who understand the ball can be vigorous, and many things that Wang Dacang has done on the court can fully reflect the essence of these two words.
In the minds of those coaches and trainers, the first reaction to the mention of Wang Cannon was the word defense.
Wang Cannon's fame began with defense, and his strong defensive ability and invincible rebounding ability have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The reason why the Heat was able to win the championship last year, Wang Cannon's defense played a decisive role, although many fans who don't like Wang Cannons are unwilling to admit it, but they also have to acquiesce that last year's finals, if it weren't for Wang Cannon's excellent performance, the O'Brien Cup is likely to follow the Mavericks.
Although Wang Cannon began to major in offense this year and put down a lot of defensive aspects, his strong defensive ability will still be inadvertently displayed in the eyes of the audience.
Just like when Bydam was active two days ago, as soon as Wang Cannon ran to defend him, he immediately wilted, which is the best proof of Wang Cannon's defensive intensity.
Kobe Bryant's hand feels very good today, while Wang Cannon's own hand feels very average, in this case, if you want to win, you need to make Kobe's hand feel bad.
This kind of thing can only be done by Wang Cannon.
Therefore, Lakers fans were almost speechless to see that Wang Cannon gave up defending Bydam and ran in front of Kobe.
"Change the guard! See the favorite change of guard again! This time, Wang Cannon is going to defend Kobe! He's really who is attacking Niu Fork to defend whom! Seeing this scene, Barkley couldn't help laughing, "In the first two games, Bydam played well, he went to defend Bydam, and successfully locked Bydam in the last game, and today's game Kobe felt good, and he ran over to defend Kobe Bryant." ”
"Wang Cannon does have this ability." O'Neal also said: "Wang Cannon is now the only strongman in the league who can really defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position. Although his attack is also fierce and incomprehensible, he is clearly stronger defensively.
Seeing Wang Cannon running in front of him, Kobe Bryant was also prepared, after all, he already knew more about Wang Cannon's urine, Matthews couldn't defend himself, he would definitely not be able to sit still and defend himself.
Kobe Bryant is still more jealous of Wang Cannon's defense, although he doesn't want to admit it, but Kobe understands that Wang Cannon is the defensive player who poses the biggest threat to himself in this league so far. Not only is he far superior to himself in terms of speed, but he is even completely above him in terms of strength, and it is almost impossible to complete the attack easily when facing Wang Cannon.
But Kobe Bryant didn't feel scared because of this, and the person who would make Kobe feel scared in this world has not yet been born.
Although Wang Cannon's defense is very bullish and perverted, Kobe Bryant has not once or twice gotten 20+ or even 30+ under Wang Cannon's defense. Although the shooting percentage may be a little unsatisfactory, as long as you don't lose. Who cares about such a trivial thing as a hit rate?
So after Wang Cannon started to defend Kobe. Kobe Bryant did not reduce his shots because of this, and even increased the number of shots even more.
Of course, he didn't get all the shots he wanted.
The defensive nature of the king cannon did have a great impact on him.
Not to mention anything else, just Wang Cannon's body was attached to Kobe's body, and Kobe couldn't even stand on his feet.
But Kobe Bryant didn't feel entangled by this, for Kobe. The feel is built up with a large number of shots, as long as you keep shooting, there will definitely be a time to hit!
And so it was, when Bryant received a pass from Sessions again. And when the outside line made a quick three-point shot, the basketball finally flew to the basket and flew into the basket before Wang Cannon stepped forward to defend.
"I'll wipe it!" Wang Cannon was not happy this time, he was just a little slower to keep up with the defense, and Kobe Bryant really shot directly without giving face.
Glancing at the score, Wang Cannon found that it was because of Kobe's three points that the Clippers' score was just overtaken by the Lakers by 1 point.
During this time, although Wang Cannon has not shot any more three-pointers because of the general feel, the Clippers are still dominated by Wang Cannon, even if there is no feel, Wang Cannon's ability to impact the basket is still very terrifying, with Paul and Griffin, the Lakers' two interior lines do not dare to make any big moves at all, otherwise they may be punished by 6 fouls every minute.
But even so, the Clippers only played a tie with the Lakers, and if Kobe Bryant is not restricted, then it will be too difficult for the Clippers to win this game.
Thinking of this, Wang Cannon couldn't help but come to Paul's side.
"Chris, I'll leave it all to you and Blake for the team's offense in a while, and I'll find a way to keep Kobe Bryant to death." After saying this briefly, Wang Cannon turned around and ran towards the halfcourt.
Hearing Wang Cannon's words, Paul was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Wang Dacang meant.
It's too difficult for a player to juggle both offense and defense, but it's obviously much easier to focus on defense if you don't think about offense.
Wang Cannon is going to sacrifice his contribution on the offensive end and go all out to defend Kobe.
If Wang Cannon and Kobe cancel each other out, then the Clippers with Paul and Griffin are definitely stronger than the Lakers with Pau and Bydam.
Although Paul is a traditional point guard, he spends most of his time on the court organizing the team's offense, but his offensive ability is not as loose as the average point guard, Paul will not be weaker than Kobe Bryant and Wang Cannon when he scores seriously, but he prefers to help his teammates score on the court rather than score himself.
Suffice it to say, if Paul plays alone, it's likely that he's the second Iverson.
So when he heard that Wang Cannon was ready to sacrifice offense to prevent Kobe Bryant, Paul knew that the Clippers at this time needed their own offensive ability.
After all, Griffin's offensive means are relatively lacking, and it is difficult to make achievements under Gasol's defense, and the Clippers can rely on nothing but Wang Cannon!
After half the court, Paul glanced at the whole court, Wang Cannon really stood in a position that is not suitable for offense but is more important so that the opponent has to defend, the key is that this position will make Wang Cannon can keep up with Kobe Bryant as soon as the Lakers get the ball.
Seeing this, Paul prepared to attack himself.
Now the Clippers are still one point behind the Lakers, although the difference of one point is not big or even negligible, but after all, they are behind the public, and I always feel a little uncomfortable.
Paul has never been a passive receptive, otherwise he would not have replaced Fisher as president of the players' union after the new collective bargaining agreement.
At such a time, the best way to take the initiative is undoubtedly to attack.
Defending Paul is the Lakers' starting point guard Sessions, this guy is indeed a good point guard, but that's all, compared to Paul, he is still too bad.
Playing a trick on the outside, Paul immediately shook Sessions' center of gravity unsteadily, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Paul instantly rushed into the interior.
Unlike Wang's unreasonable breakthrough like opening and closing a tank, Paul's breakthrough is full of agility and at the same time, it is also quite weird.
Gasol saw Paul breaking through and immediately rushed up to help defend, but before he could get close to Paul, Paul's body, which was incomparably quick to break through, suddenly paused.
The sudden braking made Paul's shoes screech on the ground, but Paul didn't care about the huge pressure on his ankles.
In this moment, not only did Gasol fail to block him as expected, but also made Sessions, who was chasing him behind him, unable to react.
Paul, who stopped, didn't shoot first, but then accelerated again.
If it weren't for the different reactions of others, the audience in front of the TV must have thought that the signal of their own TV was not good.
It was a standard time difference, and Paul used his agile body to perfectly mismatch Gasol and Sessions' defenses.
At this time, the basket he faced was empty and blue. Although there is still a Gasol between the basket and Paul, Gasol is too late to defend Paul.
Paul didn't use any special shots, he just used an ordinary small throw, and the basketball fell into the basket gently and skillfully in everyone's eyes.
The whole set of moves Paul was completely handy, including the emergency stop and small toss, all of which were leisurely strolling, as if the attack didn't use much of his strength at all.
Lakers fans are extremely depressed, and Clippers fans are jubilant, you know, before the start of the season, Paul almost ran to the Lakers with Howard because of a ridiculous trade by the Lakers, if the league hadn't stopped this fundamentally unfair trade, I am afraid that there would be no hope of the Clippers rising in Los Angeles.
On the other side, Kobe frowned.
He had already noticed that the pressure on Wang Cannon's defense was starting to increase.
Thinking of Paul's rather abnormal way of attacking with the ball just now, Kobe Bryant can guess some problems, that is, Wang Cannon is likely to be ready to defend himself with all his might, even if he sacrifices the opportunity to attack.
That's a big problem.
Although Kobe Bryant is confident, even to the point of conceit, he has always had a considerable understanding of the opponent, once Wang Cannon does not take into account the offensive rhythm of the Clippers and defends himself desperately, it will not be difficult for him to score again.
But Bryant has never been afraid of challenges, especially those that make him better.
He knows very well that once he can really continue to score under Wang's full defense, then it will be impossible for the Clippers to win the game.
"Do you want to be better than the other? Come on! ”
Bryant roared in his heart. (To be continued......)
