NBA: Destroying Irving in the opening field

Chapter 20 The curtain came to an end, the ecstasy at the buzzer

This time, Wang Hao's task is no longer Butler, but the Timberwolves' super sixth man - Jamal Crawford.

Crawford, a nerve knife guard, is thin and can run and jump.

Dribbling and breaking through are his specialties. He has the reputation of "J-CROSSOVER".
To sum it up in one sentence, it is probably a version of Kyrie Irving with enhanced height, weakened projection, and low physical fitness.

In this game, Crawford appeared as the sixth man. He made 6 of 3 three-pointers and scored 15 points. He is currently feeling hot.

He is also a hero for the Timberwolves to come from behind.

At this time, Butler advanced with the ball, Crawford ran quickly, and used his teammate's pick-and-roll to go directly from the left corner along the baseline.

Wang Hao wanted to keep up, but Downs appeared in front of him at the right time, blocking Wang Hao's way with his huge body.

If the live camera is shown on the Timberwolves coaching bench at this time, you will find the confidence on Thibodeau's face.

This is what he prepared for Wang Hao.

Thibodeau knows very well that Wang Hao has strong single defense ability, but his speed is not fast, which makes it difficult for him to quickly squeeze through when defending pick-and-rolls.

In the second quarter, Wiggins seized this point and forced the Lakers to switch defenses, thus creating opportunities for small players to play big.

Now the Timberwolves are doing it again.

This is the NBA. Once you have a weakness discovered, the opponent will target it crazily.

Crawford had just come out of the bottom line. Seeing that Wang Hao didn't seem to keep up, he was secretly happy and smiled slightly.

But their smiles froze in the next moment, because Wang Hao seemed to have expected that he didn't walk the bottom line, but ran from the side.

"Oh my god, Wang Hao predicted the direction of Crawford's running position. He didn't try to squeeze through the pick-and-roll, but found another way and came directly to the position where Crawford received the ball at the end!" Yang Yi couldn't help exclaiming .

Butler, who was in charge of the organization, didn't expect Wang Hao to keep up. Seeing Crawford go around the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to him.

"Snapped!"

A figure appeared between the two of them, and slapped the ball down with one palm.

Steal!

"OMG! Wang's defense is not only full of pressure on the ball holder, but also so terrifying without the ball." A-Smith gave his highest praise hoarsely: "His prediction, his position selection, his stretching The decisiveness when cutting the ball, in my more than ten years of commentary career, there has never been a rookie who can match him!"

Fight back!

After Wang Hao made the steal, there was no one in front!
After Butler made a mistake in passing the ball, he reacted quickly and ran at full speed to chase Wang Hao in front of him.

However, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't catch up with Wang Hao who started earlier, so he had no choice but to use a foul to stop the latter.

penalty!

Wang Hao stood on the free throw line, and this was his first serve in an official game.

"Huh~" Wang Hao took a deep breath and caught the referee's pass.

In his previous life, as a basketball lover, he had one and only one thing to brag about - free throws.

Wang Hao completely imitated a whole set of Kobe's free throw moves.

Whether it's the breathing adjustment before serving, the number of dribbles, or the shooting posture, it's exactly the same as chatting.

Some sharp-eyed Lakers fans naturally discovered this, and the Staples Arena immediately burst into cheers.

Made two free throws!

The Lakers lead by two points.

Moreover, this goal also allowed Wang Hao to score in double figures!

[Get it done!] Wang Hao waved his fist, ecstatic in his heart.

In the following time, the two sides launched a tug-of-war.

Crawford was completely blocked on the offensive end, and the iconic crossover was also directly intercepted by Wang Hao.

The Lakers relied on Wang Hao's excellent defense to defend against the Timberwolves' offense many times.

However, the Lakers' offense also misfired.

Ingram was injured, Wang Hao was stuck on the defense by Butler at this time, and the Lakers' offense came to a standstill.

In this way, the "pecking each other" between the two sides continued until there were only 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

The two sides tied again with 105:105.

At this time, the Timberwolves served the baseline ball, and Crawford, who was marked by Wang Hao, stayed quietly in the bottom corner with a bitter smile on his face.

Because just after the timeout, Thibodeau's tactics turned out to make him daze in the bottom corner.

Exchange strategy!

In order to prevent Wang Hao from participating in the team's defense, the coach actually used him as a pawn to offset Wang Hao.

It can be seen that the Timberwolves are afraid of Wang Hao now!
However, Crawford's sacrifice did not bring success.

Minnesota's small guard, "Moving Mamba" Jeff Teague dribbled the ball for 10 seconds and chose to break through for a layup, but was blocked by Ball.

The Lakers fight back!

Brother Qiu took the lead, Wang Hao followed up quickly, and Kuzma and others followed closely behind.

The Timberwolves will desperately retreat.

But in a panic, they focused more on the ball-handling ball brother and Kuzma, who scored the most points on the Lakers.

Wang Hao was missed again!

Two seconds left!

At this time, Brother Qiu, who had reached the penalty area, found Wang Hao who was in the open, and passed the ball to the outside with a flick of his right hand.

1 seconds!
Wang Hao catches the ball and makes a shot!
"Den!"

The moment after Wang Hao shot, the timer sounded!

"Shu~"

Lore! ! !

"wow!!!"

The fans in the audience raised their hands and stood up and cheered.

Deafening cheers filled the stadium for a while!
On the other side of the ocean, Huaxia, in the Tengxun live broadcast room.

Wang Hao's lore drove the two commentators into a frenzy.

"Lore, lore, lore! Wang Hao made a contribution, Wang Hao made a contribution!

Did not give the Timberwolves any chance.

A great China defender, he has inherited the glorious tradition of the Lakers!

Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, and Kobe had their souls at this moment.

Wang Hao is alone, he represents the long history and tradition of the Lakers.

At this moment, he is not fighting alone, he is not alone! ...".

Yang Yi only felt that a line appeared in his mind, and he blurted it out.

"Director Yang, this sentence sounds familiar to you. But Wang Hao, our brother Hao, and the three-pointer at the end of the first quarter, he completed two buzzer-beaters in one game! His Defense and three-pointers are definitely the key to the Lakers' victory in this game." Ke Fan sincerely sighed.

"I believe this game will also show Lakers coach Walton's understanding of Wang Hao! He is not only a defensive champion, but also has a good three-point ability. He is the most scarce 3D player in the league now!" Yang Yi continued. .

"The reporter in front of us has found Wang Hao, let's hand over the camera to the front, and let's see what Wang Hao will say!" Ke Fan said excitedly.

"Hello, viewers and friends, I am Lu Yinqing, a special reporter of Tencent Sports, and the one next to me is Wang Hao who has just completed a wonderful lore! Wang Hao, let's say hello to everyone!"

Lu Yinqing, known as the Barbecue Sister in Jianghu, is a special correspondent based in the United States and a famous Warriors fan.

"Hi, everyone, I'm Wang Hao from the Lakers."

It was the first time for Wang Hao to accept this kind of one-on-one interview since time travel, and it was in friendly Mandarin, which was a bit of a surprise.

"Wow, I believe everyone has heard it. Wang Hao's Mandarin is very standard. It seems that although he is abroad, he has not given up his mother tongue at all."

"Wang Hao, in fact, domestic fans are very concerned about your situation, especially after the draft, everyone is very worried about you."

"Fortunately, you got a contract from the Lakers, and you played well in two consecutive preseason games. What made you recover from the regret of losing?"

The question of Sister Barbecue is also something that many fans want to know.

"First of all, I was not discouraged by losing the draft. There are many undrafted players who have played well in the NBA to prove that they were wrong. For example, Ben Wallace and Jeremy Lin. What's more, the support of the fans gave me motivation , coaches and teammates also trust me very much.” Wang Hao answered in a very orderly and appropriate manner.

"Yes, not only are there many overseas Chinese fans at the scene, but there are also many fans on the other side of the ocean cheering for you through our Tencent Sports live broadcast!" Sister Barbecue continued to ask: "The Timberwolves players you will mainly play against in this game are Wiggins, Butler and Crawford happen to be three generations old, middle-aged and young, how do you feel about their confrontation?"

"I would like to thank the fans for their support. It's fun to play against them. I'm never afraid to play against strong opponents. On the contrary, I like this kind of high-level confrontation. Only in this way will I know what my shortcomings are."

"Okay, the last question, you just mentioned Jeremy Lin. We know that although he is Chinese, he is an American citizen and cannot represent China. And you are an authentic Chinese nationality. If you have the opportunity, will you fight for your country? ?”
