NBA: Opening breaks record

Chapter 372 The Lakers trailed by 17 points at halftime

A player may be a good player if he depends on the coach's tactics to play, but he will never be a talented player.

Yang Yi and Wang Meng's complaints to Vogel will only lower Meng Hua's grade.

The big stage of the playoffs is still in the second round. It is really normal for a rookie to have a bad performance in one game.

But Meng Hua gave them too many surprises. They were used to Meng Hua's god-like performance. Facing Meng Hua who played ordinary output, they would not be able to accept it for a while.

After the first quarter, the Lone Ranger led the Lakers 31-19.

Doncic scored 14 points alone and made 4 three-pointers.

The only two strikes were when Meng Hua was defending at the beginning of the scene.

In fact, the Lakers' defense is not too bad, and they also prevented the Lone Ranger from many Spanish pick-and-rolls.

But the Lone Ranger feels against the sky, and he can still score goals without playing tactics, which is completely helpless.

The team's defense was obviously fine, and they lost 12 points, and Vogel didn't know how to adjust.

On the offensive end, to put it bluntly, it depends on the touch. These cannot be solved at the technical and tactical level.

"We played well, but we were a little bit unlucky. We insisted on playing like this in the second quarter. Their touch can't be so good all the time.

"Meng Hua, don't put any pressure on it, just pretend you lost this game, so what? You can shoot as you want. We want to go further. Not only do you have to contribute on the defensive end, but also the offensive end cannot disappear.

"Munch...

"Rivers..."

Vogel started small one by one.

It is an honor to be treated lightly at such a time.

TNT studio, Smith asked: "How will the Lakers adjust?"

O'Neill shook his head and said, "They don't need to adjust, it's just that the Lone Ranger is too accurate, and it's not their fault."

Barkley smiled and said, "Doesn't Meng Hua's shooting need to be adjusted?"

O'Neill said: "It's just two iron shots. What a big deal. This shows that Meng Hua is smart. If he doesn't feel good, he won't mess around. I really like this kind of player."

Barkley shamed him: "Of course you said that. If you don't shoot from the outside, you have to pass it to the inside. If you give the ball to the inside, the pressure on the inside will be great."

O'Neill pretended to be puzzled: "The ball is passed, and the dunk is directly, what's the big deal?"

Compared with TNT, which does not need adjustment theory, the two commentators from Tencent Studio have changed dozens of tactics for the Lakers.

Fortunately, neither TNT nor Tencent can affect Vogel.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Vogel sent the main lineup ahead of time, trying to grab points.

Kidd saw the move, and also shot the main force.

Vogel cursed in his heart, but Kidd was right.

It's time to rotate the lineup, you have to use all the main force to steal chickens, so I won't let you steal, what's wrong?

Doncic dribbled the ball and saw that Meng Hua looked like a dog again, squatting far away in the Logo area and waiting.

He couldn't help frowning. In the NBA, he has proven himself.

Young and mature, he has received too many praises, all of which he deserves.

He also thinks domineeringly that no one is better than him, even if that person is James.

But when facing Meng Hua's defense, his confidence was shaken.

Is there really no one?

If Meng Hua only knows how to defend, he may not be so touched. The key point is that Meng Hua's offense is also very good.

This made him wonder, is he really better than Meng Hua?

Meng Hua didn't know that Doncic thought so much, he just didn't want him to score easily.

Even if he can't prevent it, he still has to work hard.

Doncic called for a pick-and-roll, and Powell mentioned the middle circle, blocking the loneliness.

Meng Hua went through the wall and continued to chase Doncic.

Doncic moved to the left as planned, Powell went down, his thick eyebrows saw through his tricks, and followed closely.

Smith blocks again, and Doncic bypasses Smith. At this time, he can choose many directions for the ball.

If Powell runs fast enough, he can hit the basket.

If Smith picks and rolls outside, it can also be passed to Smith.

If it doesn't work, it can also be passed to Brunson who is ambushing in the left bottom corner.

If the passing skills are high enough, you can also find Bullock in the right bottom corner.

If it is not easy to play the ball, you can still shoot by yourself. At this position, the defensive players have more or less been thrown away.

Meng Hua continued to pass through the wall, chasing Dongcic closely.

The troubles of young Doncic.

Troubles are all troubles, he was still extremely calm, and instead of making a move, he found Bullock who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Bullock catches the ball, blocks the block against James, and makes a solid jumper.

James was just pretending, he didn't jump very high at all, so naturally he couldn't guard Bullock.

Bullock accepted the three-pointer with a smile, made an exaggerated gesture of celebration, and ignited the audience.

Dongcic retreated and said to Meng Hua: "Brother, how is my pass?" He looked like a villain.

"It's good." Meng Hua nodded, "But it's not worth 5 million in five years."

You're on the supermax, ask me how's your pass?
funny!

If you want to play, you should play well. If you want to beat me with your mouth, it doesn't exist.

One sentence put Dongcic to death, with a gloomy face, as if Meng Hua had done something to him, but the fact was that he himself provoked Meng Hua first.

When the Lakers attacked, Meng Hua started to cover for James, but it was just a cover, not demolished.

At least he didn't take the initiative to dismantle it. When James left, he would dismantle it naturally. There was no rush.

The Lone Ranger did not switch defenses, Smith and Doncic flanked James.

James Shenlong swung his tail, hit the ground with one hit, and the ball hit the open hand of Meng Hua.

Dongcic hurriedly chased back, but Meng Hua didn't dare to leave too much room if he didn't chase.

If the ball had been in the past, Meng Hua would have jumped up and shot, but he hesitated.

The opportunity is fleeting, and perhaps this is what he wants.

He made a fake move, gave the ball to James again, and then chose to leave.

Song Siying, who was watching the football at home, became more and more awkward the more she looked at it, and Meng Hua was far from the Meng Hua she expected.

This is not Meng Hua.

"Meng Hua played timidly today, unlike his style, strange." She muttered to herself.

"Yeah, he's not as determined as before. Have you noticed that his eyes are no longer bright?" Liu Feng also felt strange.

"Trapped by love." Sophie couldn't help but say.

"What?" Song Siying asked.

"Nothing." Sophie answered irrelevantly.

Song Siying turned her head and said, "Is there something you two are hiding from me?"

Sophie spread her arms and had no choice but to tell her what Meng Hua meant.

He persuaded again: "Si Ying, don't agree to him so quickly, if it is too soon, he will just be abandoned like a shoe in the future."

Song Siying didn't reply her, she didn't know what she was thinking.

The situation on the court continued to worry the three of them.

The Lakers trailed by 17 points at halftime.

Liu Feng said: "It can't be done, this round of the series is over, I think it's right to have a proper test, but Meng Hua is definitely not that kind of man, Si Ying, you should promise him."

Sophie pouted and said: "No, the state is always good and bad, and it's not necessarily caused by this reason. Besides, we didn't say that Si Ying disagreed. We just said wait, he can't even overcome this, so just stop fighting."

Liu Feng curled his lips: "Yes, he should be more ruthless, love is deep and lifeless, if he can be ruthless and hate, then he will be invincible."
