NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 121 Cooperating with James to Chase Cap Morant

At the same time, in the locker room of the home team, the Grizzlies players sang and danced, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

Last season, they became the beneficiaries of the new competition system.

Ninth in the Western Conference, they beat the Spurs first in the playoffs, and then the Warriors.

Although he lost to the No. [-] Jazz in the Western Conference in the first round, Morant proved his ability to lead the team.

This season Morant has played with confidence, and his progress is even greater than last season, and he has a superstar demeanor faintly.

Brooks, Williams, Bain and Jackson also brought surprises to the team from time to time.

The veteran Adams is even more conscientious, plugging in wherever there are loopholes, showing the true qualities of Aquaman.

Just the day before yesterday, the Grizzlies narrowly beat the No. [-] Suns in the Western Conference by one point, and the team's confidence was even more overwhelming.

Although the Lakers also won the Nets, the Grizzlies didn't take these veterans very seriously.

They are young and energetic, they can run and jump, they are taller, faster and stronger than the Lakers.

Brooks said: "I'm going to defend James this time, so don't fight me."

Williams said with a smile: "You can only guard against him, why fight with you?"

Jackson also followed suit: "The king of Los Angeles is old, don't let him play with confidence and return to the top."

Morant said domineeringly: "It's just right for him to return to the peak, and we are playing the elite."

Brooks clicked on his phone, which contained Meng Hua's report. He pointed the screen of the phone to everyone and said, "Meng Hua is very popular recently. I didn't expect him to play so well."

Morant said with regret: "I thought he was a good talent at the beginning, but it's a pity that he didn't stay in our team."

Brooks laughed and gossiped, "You know what? Clairman didn't give him a formal contract, so he was poached by the Lakers."

In fact, everyone knows it, but they are all young players, they have only been in the industry for a few years, and they don't have the qualifications to make irresponsible remarks to the general manager.

"I watched the scene between him and Antetokounmpo, it was absolutely amazing."

"Durant was also completely misfired by him, and he only scored 2 points in the half."

"It's nothing. If you haven't seen that Japanese player, it's miserable. It's over."

When the former teammate was happy for Meng Hua, the head coach Jenkins curled his lips and said: "The enemy is now, so stop applauding him. Who will defend him?"

Brooks said: "I'm not greedy, I just want James."

Bain took the initiative to ask for a fight: "I really want to guard against him. It's only been more than 20 days. Let's see how far he has improved."

Since Brooks picked James, Bain could only defend Meng Hua, and Jenkins nodded in approval.

Morant stood up and said generously: "Brothers, it's a joke. I know that you are all like me. You grew up watching James play. We are all his fans. But in the game, we don't need to call him brothers. The best way to respect him is to beat him."

"Beat him."

"Beat James, beat the Lakers!"

Jenkins' face is full of smiles, and the young Morant is mature and will become a great player in time.

When he soared into the sky, it was also when the team won the championship.

At the appearance ceremony, the fans shouted frantically, as if this was a playoff game.

Looking at the fanatical home fans, Meng Hua couldn't help but go back to the night when he slaughtered the Thunder with 73 points.

He wanted to guard Morant, but Vogel asked him to guard Brooks.

Vogel put him on the confrontation and quickly consumed Brooks.

Because he has calculated that the Grizzlies will send him to mark James with a strong physique.

Let Meng Hua consume Brooks on the defensive end first, and then use James to give him a fatal blow to open the gap from him.

A little breakthrough, full flower, take away the game.

Both sides jumped the ball, Adams hooked with his long arm, and the ball flew obediently into Morant's hands as if by magic.

Morant changed his rhythm, threw away Bradley with one step, stepped back from the basket, and made a jumper for the home team to take the lead.

He didn't use any tactics, and he tore through the Lakers' defense purely with individual singles.

Defending him is a huge challenge for Bradley.

If you stick to the defense, the opponent will pass in one step; if you don't stick to the defense, the opponent can kill you with a mid-range shot.

In a war, no matter whether it is won or lost, someone must act as cannon fodder.

Hearing the cheers of the home fans, Bradley looked towards the sky above the court, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

James held the ball on the right wing, Meng Hua stepped forward to cover, after a fake move, Lingbo took small steps, and he was outside the three-point line in an instant.

James hit the ground, and after the ball rebounded, it just hit Meng Hua's chest.

As soon as Meng Hua received the ball, Bain dropped James and flew over.

The S-level lateral movement speed, seeing the opponent's pounce posture, should be weak, and Meng Hua made a jump shot.

Bingo!Three points hit!
On the Lakers bench, Melo exaggeratedly got up to celebrate.

There is nothing wrong with accurate shooting. The key is that his pick-and-roll is very imaginative, and the rhythm of his progress is just right.

Who would believe that this is the first time he has executed the tactics tailored for him by the coach.

James retreated with a big grin, and said with a smile: "Hua, strike the ball, shoot more resolutely, no one can beat you."

The Lakers had just set up a big formation, and Morant rushed over, two meters away from Bradley, and shot a three-pointer directly.

Swish!
The precise three-pointer tore through the Lakers' defense again.

Morant nodded leisurely at Meng Hua, as if to say, I just shot farther than you.

Meng Hua didn't respond to him. On basketball, he could respond, but outside of basketball, he didn't want to respond.

When he was down, except for agent Thomas, the entire Grizzlies team helped him one by one.

The reason why he didn't stay in the Grizzlies was the general manager. What's more, the general manager didn't refuse to give him a contract, and they were willing to give him another ten-day part-time job. He felt that he was too arrogant and refused directly.

Going to the frontcourt again, James still holds the ball, still on the right wing.

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

Just as Meng Hua retreated, the Grizzlies had already switched defenses, and Bain single-handedly defended against James.

James was also polite, and used Lan Xiang's bulldozer stunt, crushing Bain and pushing towards the basket.

Adams took a few steps, and when he got to the inside, James had an excellent vision, transferred a wide range, and passed it to Monk in the left bottom corner.

Monk bowed.

Legend of the Condor Heroes...

Snapped!
The ball in his hand was intercepted by Morant's ghostly hands. He had already seen that James would pass it to Monk, stepped forward two steps, and successfully intercepted the ball.

Morant made a fast break, and Meng Hua chased hard behind him.

Others are chasing buttocks, but he is really chasing buttocks.

The B-level speed is obviously not as fast as Morant, but Morant still has to dribble and chase beyond the three-point line, Morant feels danger.

He is not afraid of Meng Hua, but he is very afraid of James' chasing hat.

Looking back, it was Meng Hua. He simply slowed down, bumped him with his back to slow him down, and then kicked the accelerator for a three-step layup.

Snapped!
Morant was dizzy, and James chased back, watching from the other side.

Morant patronized to slow down, confronted Meng Hua physically, and did not guard against James.

At this time, James can't get a cap anymore, so he is not 38 years old, but 83 years old.
