NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 208 Take turns hitting Gobert
Swish!
Gobert heard the crisp sound of a goal.

Then he heard booing and laughing all over the stadium, and the fans were laughing at him. His face turned slightly red, but fortunately he was very thick-skinned and couldn't tell.

This ball was really embarrassing. Meng Hua's slow motion was almost broken down frame by frame, yet he didn't respond at all.

He recalled the scene of playing ball when he was a child. When he was being teased by his shorter friends, they would laugh at him like this, pointing at his head and laughing contemptuously: "Big fool."

He stared angrily at Meng Hua who was going away, but there was nothing he could do. He kicked the crotch out of nowhere last time, and if he did it again this time, he would definitely be targeted by the referee.

Next, the Jazz's offense was basically instigated by Mitchell.

Mitchell singled Westbrook several times, and also scored a fairy ball that shocked everyone, but the more he played, the more he felt something was wrong.

When the goal was scored, he felt that danger was coming.

He is acutely aware that this is a defensive strategy by opponents who want to cut him off from his teammates.

So he chose to pass the ball, but his teammates either didn't have a good chance or fell into double-teaming, which rarely turned into points.

He gradually became a little irritable, and thought to himself, I can just play singles, as long as I can score enough points, if you don't believe me, you won't double-team me.

Mitchell is right, the premise is that if he can hit the Lakers, it doesn't all depend on his offensive shooting percentage, but also has something to do with the Lakers' singles Gobert's shooting percentage.

On the Lakers' side, the starting five are frantic, taking turns to play Gobert on the roster.

Although he is the best defensive player, Gobert is also tireless.

After all, one person has one offensive method and habit. He has to switch between different modes at any time to keep up with the rhythm of different offensive opponents.

For example, defending James, he likes to use his back to squeeze, push slowly, and then turn over and shoot a jumper.

But to defend Meng Hua, he swayed left and right, deceiving his center of gravity, flashing shots and breaking through the space.

If it is Westbrook, he dribbles relatively simply, snaps a few times, and then eats him with absolute speed.

Once or twice, he switched easily and comfortably, which was very interesting, but if he switched too much, his brain would soon be exhausted.

Opponents will also change their moves, and he is on the outside, and he can't keep up with his footsteps. If he doesn't rely on experience and prediction, it is impossible to guard against these breakthrough masters.

As the best defensive player, Gobert couldn't say no, and he didn't bother to ask his teammates for help, so he had to grit his teeth and continue to suffer from the opponent's knife after knife.

The battle was fierce and the score was tight.

Mitchell made progress, and the Lakers also scored; Mitchell hit the iron, and the Lakers also scored.

No one could open the score, which made the head coaches of both sides more confident in their formation.

The Jazz attacked, and Mitchell was still the vanguard.

Mitchell prepared his troops, looked up, and saw that the enemy's five-way army still only dispatched one way to confront him.

The most exasperating thing is that the other four enemy troops died down, completely out of formation, and did not form horns with the opposing enemy troops, nor did they echo each other from afar.

Mitchell has never been so underestimated.

In a rage, he raised his spear and commanded the army to charge.

Mitchell took the lead, with a white horse and a silver gun, rushing from left to right.

One shot knocked down the opponent's general, and the enemy army collapsed at the touch of a touch, retreating [-] miles, and blood flowed like a river.

But their other four armies did not rescue the friendly army, and they remained unscathed.

Unable to achieve his pre-war intentions, Mitchell continued to climb and look out, and he found that his best-defended city was being besieged by the enemy.

He has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he knows that it is the enemy's strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao. He did not choose to return to rescue, but ordered the entire army to continue chasing and killing the enemy.

As long as the city can stand firm, after he completely defeats the enemy army, he will be able to counter-encircle the enemy with his troops.

It is easy to repel and disable the enemy, but it is difficult to completely destroy the enemy.

After a scuffle, the two sides called for money to withdraw their troops.

"Played very well, just keep playing like this, Gobert will definitely not be able to handle it, I think his legs and feet are already weak, we will definitely win."

Vogel is full of confidence and points out the situation.

Using the new tactics, he is more energetic than before, because he has expectations. If it is useful to play against the Jazz, it can also be used against other teams with strong defenses.

The Lakers have dropped to eighth, and they have nothing to lose. In addition to confirming the main lineup, it is also necessary to dig out new tactics.

Meng Hua, Monk and James play pick-and-roll, which is efficient and practical, but playing this tactic in four quarters is too monotonous, and some new tactics must be discovered.

"Russell, do you want to make a substitution to mark Mitchell, you are under too much pressure."

Vogel tried his best to use a consulting tone, carefully taking care of Westbrook's emotions.He doesn't like Westbrook, or he doesn't know how to use Westbrook. If the management can trade him out, he will definitely have no objection, but the trade deadline has passed. Since the management has no action, they still have to work together to play the strongest self.

"Didn't you say before the game that we should try to cut off the connection between him and his teammates? I think the Jazz basically rely on him to score. Our strategy still works. There is no need to switch defenses."

Westbrook picked up the towel and slowly wiped his sweat. He was afraid of being rejected by Vogel, so it would be less embarrassing to make some movements with his hands.

"Okay, then do as you want, you have worked hard." Vogel patted Westbrook on the shoulder.

Westbrook nodded, his face was calm, but his heart was full of ups and downs. Before that, he and Vogel had a very unpleasant quarrel because of transfer rumors and play problems. Now let all this dissipate with the wind.

In the Jazz camp, Snyder looked solemn.

The two teams tied at 27 in the first quarter, but the Lakers did not play their cards according to common sense and lined up to take turns to single Gobert, which made him feel faintly uneasy.

He rushed to Gobert and asked: "Rudy, is there any problem with your physical strength? If they single you like this again, we don't need to switch defenses. You are responsible for guarding the inside. There is no need to dislocate and defend on the outside."

If he directly arranged Gobert to hide under the basket, Gobert would have no objection, but he asked if there was any problem with his physical strength, how could Gobert admit it?
To be able to play at Gobert's level, no player is full of confidence. He is indeed a little panting, but no one on the court is panting. He thinks he can overcome it. He believes that as long as he passes the physical bottleneck period, he will be as light as a swallow.

Gobert took a sip of water and pretended to be relaxed: "The enemy only has this thing, and my perimeter defense is also very good. I can hold on."

The best defensive player has said this, and Snyder has no reason to adjust his defensive strategy. He turned to Mitchell again: "They will not choose flanking, they just want you to play alone and cut off your connection with your teammates."

Mitchell smiled and said: "I understand their strategic intentions, I will make them pay a heavy price, double-teaming me is death, not double-teaming is also death."

After some adjustments, the decision made by both parties was not to adjust.

They stood on the court confidently again, and they all believed that the opponent would collapse before themselves.
