NBA: Destroying Irving in the opening field

Chapter 85 This is me, Wang Hao, is it clear enough?

As soon as the second quarter came up, Van Jordan began to exert his strength.

He shot inside and outside, scoring 1 points in a row within 5 minute.

On the Lakers side, Clarkson, the sixth man, felt completely helpless under Lowry's defense, making two consecutive shots.

The two phases superimposed, and the Raptors quickly approached the score.

"My God, are the Lakers going to collapse once Wang Hao is on the court?" Ke Fan said helplessly.

At this time, Wang Hao watched everything that happened on the field without changing his face.

For him, this is just a regular season, and there is no need to get angry because of temporary gains and losses.

What's more, he believes that his teammates can perform well.

Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, Clarkson. These people may not be the best group of people in the league, but they are all people who dare to fight and fight hard without reservation.

Sure enough, Ingram quickly stood up and stabilized the situation.

Facing the defense of OG-Anunobi, he first hit a mid-range jumper, and then broke through the inside and succeeded.

One person scored four points, which instantly quieted the Raptors fans at the scene and stabilized the situation at the same time.

After Yingge completed a successful defense, Wang Hao also stood up and applauded.

"Look, being able to motivate teammates in a timely manner, I have to say that Wang Hao is already a bit of a leader now." Li Ke said seriously.

The game continued. Although the Lakers relied on their tenacious spirit to resist wave after wave of attacks from the Raptors' bench gangsters, the gap in strength still allowed their lead to be eroded a little bit.

With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, the score came to 55:52, and the Raptors had narrowed the point difference to within one round.

Judging from the scene alone, the Lakers teenagers have not lost the wind, but their advantages have been continuously narrowed. In the final analysis, this is caused by the gap in strength.

Dealing with small details, such as the control of turnovers and the grasp of open shots
These are the reasons for the Raptors to catch up.

When the young players saw the scoreboard, their anxiety gradually emerged.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wharton turned his head and looked deep into the bench.

Wang Hao understood, took off his sports jacket, and prepared to appear on stage.

"Next you go to guard against Fleet, he feels too hot today." Wharton warned.

"Don't worry." Wang Hao nodded and said calmly.

　
With a foul and dead ball, Wang Hao successfully replaced Clarkson.

As soon as he came on, an interesting situation happened.

The teammates on the field seemed to be rescued from the brink of suffocation, and their anxiety dissipated immediately.

Why do you say that?

The obvious performance is that the body movements and facial expressions of the Lakers players are obviously much more relaxed than before.

"This is the role of the backbone of the team. Wang Hao has gradually become the pinnacle of the young Lakers team." Li Ke commented.

Wang Hao didn't think too much about it. Since the coach assigned the task, the first problem to be solved now was the unattractive combo guard in front of him——Fan Qiaodan.

At this time, Van Vleet was not well-known.

Like Wang Hao, he was an undrafted draft pick. It was not until last season that the Raptors recalled him from the Development League and officially became an NBA player.

His style of play is tough, he makes shots when he should, and can often score goals at critical moments.

Now he has gradually become the core player of the Raptors' bench.

Wang Hao lowered his center of gravity and stood beside him silently.

When Van Vleet saw Wang Hao, he was also quite moved.He put his hands on his knees and said to Wang Hao in a low voice: "I have been following your games, and your performance inspires me."

"Thank you." Wang Hao glanced at the other party in surprise, "But I won't show mercy because of this."

It's not that Wang Hao is unreasonable, if the other party came to him to talk about this after the game, he might chat with him with a smile.

But the stadium is like a battlefield. Kobe also emphasized to him that once entering the game, the opponent has only one identity-an enemy, never a friend.

Van Vleet was not angry, but smiled and continued: "Come on. I know your defense is very strong, but can you break my ball?"

Wang Hao ignored it. There is no need to answer this kind of question at this time.

Because soon, the confrontation between the two was on the verge of breaking out.

Van Vleet received a pass from Lowry, and while observing Wang Hao's position, he called for an inside pick-and-roll.

Ibaka moved out quickly, and his cover was of extremely high quality, completely blocking Wang Hao behind him.

Wang Hao was not in a hurry, he took a step sideways, squeezed through the pick-and-roll, and followed behind Fan Qiaodan.

Due to his lack of height, it was difficult for Van Vleet to attack the inside line directly, so he could only use his back to block Wang Hao and look for opportunities.

His dribbling center of gravity is so low that few defenders try to steal the ball.

Because when you lean out so much to scour his ball, once you fail, it will be difficult to adjust your center of gravity.

Therefore, Van Vleet did not pay too much attention to Wang Hao at the moment, but was looking for opportunities for his teammates.

But
He miscalculated.

"Snapped!"

Wang Hao's figure was like a dragon sailing into the sea, and he threw himself at the basketball in Fan Qiaodan's hands, ignoring the possibility of missing it, and slapped it away.

Kuzma reacted quickly, retrieved the ball before it went out of bounds, and passed it to Brother Ball.

The Lakers immediately launched a quick counterattack!
　
(This is a side story)
Wang Hao just got up from the ground, and said to the stunned Van Vleet beside him:

"You ask me if I can break your ball? Let me tell you now, I am Wang Haofang if others dare not defend. I am Wang Hao. I can break the ball, and I will break the ball that others can't. Break first and then install, no special permission is required! This is me, Wang Hao, is it clear enough?"
