The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 24 Suffocating Defense

Li Ming doesn't care, he can afford to lose, anyway, he has nothing, and he is still a player with a basic salary.

Lawson is looking for a starting point guard with an annual salary of tens of millions, and the brand of the current Nuggets has deeply penetrated into his soul.

George Karl fulfilled him, and it can also be said that he fulfilled George Karl.Carr's system needs a dynamic guard with an explosive body to attack the opponent's basket.

"Don't be influenced by factors on the court, and don't let others invade your heart. A qualified point guard is the team's brain and the commander on the court. You must keep calm at all times." Carl's tone was not serious, But very straightforward.

He is saying to Lawson, and he is also saying to everyone, "The opponent will definitely let Zach next, and try to drag the game rhythm into their favorite mode. I need you all to focus and play your own characteristics. .”

"The ball must be fast, must be passed to the weak side, if there is no chance from the outside, you must go to the basket, take the initiative to find a confrontation, and seize every opportunity to attack the basket. Come on, kids." Carl watched quietly everyone.

On the Grizzlies side, Hollins pulled Guy aside and whispered something, and then turned to Conley, "You play off the ball for a while, let Bayless organize, and you and Lee play off the ball, to consume them."

He picked up the tactical board and drew, "If Iguodala and Chandler on the wing jump up or double-team, hang the ball back inside and let Zach end."

Hollins has a big head, and Marc Gasol's injury has made his substitutions a bit stretched. The Grizzlies, who are not good at three-point shooting, have few opportunities to contain the inside.

It was only thanks to Bayless and Conley's sudden cold arrows that they managed to maintain the situation so as not to be beaten.

The players re-entered the field, and as expected, George Lal could not bear Lawson's nonsensical style of play, replaced Afflalo, continued to strengthen the defense, and removed Chandler at the same time.

It's not that Chandler played badly, it's just that Chandler has fouled three times and needs to be protected. He was replaced by a defender, Jordan Hamilton.Of course, playing with him is our old fritter Andre Miller.

Wow, Jordan Hamilton, this name is even better than Anthony Carter, this is too shameless.

Faried still hasn't got playing time, and now Gallinari is still used as a guest center on the court. This is the best way to consume the opponent Randolph.

Offensively, Gallinari has the range to get Randolph out of the rim.

Miller dribbled the ball steadily upfield, Iguodala ran around, Gallinari caught the ball through the screen, and Gay stood in front of him with his right hand outstretched.

Gallinari glanced at the basket and gave the ball to Afflalo. Li Ming quickly put it on without giving Afflalo any room to turn around.He was uncomfortable holding the ball in this position, so he could only pass it to Miller on the outside again.

Conley also kept a close eye on Miller and gave him enough space to shoot. Miller has never been a three-pointer. Even in the Wide Open, he chose not to shoot.

Suddenly, he accelerated to squeeze Conley away, and entered the penalty area with two master legs.

"Wow, this guy is still here? It's too much." Li Ming let go of his defender and rushed towards Miller, who made a posture of riding a horse and shooting an arrow.

"Come down for me." Li Ming lost his center of gravity under the cover with all his strength, and his whole body was heavily pressed on Miller.The two people were face to face, with almost zero distance contact, and the air froze for three seconds...

The whistle sounded, "No. 7 foul, two free throws." Crawford gestured towards the technical team.

"He can't make the shot." Randolph walked up to Randolph and pounded his waist with his arm.

Randolph understood and gave him an OK gesture.

Miller starts free throws, the first free throw, there is, the second free throw, there is still...

Wow, this wave of face is swollen...

As soon as Li Ming turned his head, wow, why is Afflalo here? When did this kid follow? Could it be that he knew that I was going to launch a sneak attack?

Randolph has lost the opportunity to sneak attack when he serves, so he can only give it to Conley next to him, and play steadily.

Conley gave the ball to Gay as soon as he crossed the halfway line, and Iguodala was on him again.

Wow, big brother, do you want to fight like this? It's been a whole night, and you let me vote to die.The more Guy thought about it, the more angry he became, and he forcibly pulled out against Iguodala's defense.

Hollins on the sidelines angrily kicked the pure water far away at his feet, and the rookies on the bench quickly picked up the water bottles, but they dared not let Crawford see it, otherwise they would suffer another T (technical foul) up.

The ball hit the basket and bounced high. Gay knew something was wrong after the shot. He had already rushed into the penalty area and fought with Gallinari to get in position and fight for rebounds. Iguodala also joined in.

Just as everyone was fighting under the basket, "Not good!" A voice came from the outside.

It turned out that a figure had already quietly entered the basket, and it was already leaping high. This time, it was clearly seen, Huaxia No. 7 player Li Ming! !

I saw him swung a one-armed dunk, and pressed the ball firmly into the basket.

"What are you doing, you have to stick to him, you can't let him slip into the inside like this." Faried off the court shouted at Afflalo.

Afflalo didn't speak, just shook his head and spread his hands. He really wasn't to blame for the ball.Because at that time Li Ming took a big stride out to shake his center of gravity, and he lost the best time when he wanted to change direction.

Basketball is like this. It only takes a few tenths of a second to get rid of the defense and complete the air cut. Friends who have played in the field know this.

Bayless began to lead the defense of Iguodala, but his body was too different from Iguodala's. With just one touch, he flew away.

However, he didn't really want to grab the ball, he just delayed it a little to prevent the fast break from the track and field team.After landing in position, he and Gay quickly switched defenses.

This round is replaced by Iguodala, how will he break Guy's long arm?Van Gundy and Webb would also like to know.

For a while, Gallinari, Efflalo and Jordan Hamilton moved. Afflalo mentioned going up the line to cover Iguodala, and Gallinari walked to the bottom line on the other side.

"I have to say that this simple regional cooperation can see the change of George Karl's team." Van Gundy couldn't help but admire.

"Yes, this ball should be given to Gallinari on the weak side, and the Italian will complete a precise strike." Webber added.

However, that's not the case. Gallinari just took away the opponent's power forward, and Iguodala passed the ball to Efflalo, who bounced to the outside. This is a double-screen cooperation.

Whether it is the person who goes down or the person who bounces to the outside line, he must have a certain long-range shooting ability.

Iguodala puts the defender behind him and buys Afflalo a little time to shoot.But how could Conley tolerate such a thing happening to him?He desperately squeezed through the wall of people and jumped high.

"Wow, you are indeed a child of a sports family. He is really tall, my brother." Li Ming was blocked by Jordan Hamilton and could only watch Afflalo shoot. Conley's defense made him feel very happy.

"This jumping, even with the blessing of the system, I am amazed." Li Ming looked enviously at Conley who jumped high.Apparently the shot was interfered with and the rebound was taken off by Randolph again.

Randolph took a big step, and with a long swing, Conley and Li Ming flew out like two sharp blades, and the Nuggets reacted and quickly chased them back.Iguodala quickly entangled Conley, who had already got the ball.

Conley jumped high again and made a pick-and-pop movement. Iguodala didn't give in too much, lightly stretching his ape arms, and a pair of long arms pressed down from behind.

But when Jiang will touch the ball, the ball hits the ground and passed, and Li Ming, who follows up, easily sends the ball into the basket almost without any interference.In the air, Iguodala also had a four-eyed look.

There is no way, no matter how powerful Iguodala is, it is impossible to defend against the two jumping one after the other at the same time. This ball is indeed very confusing, and it also benefits from Conley's selflessness.

If he chose to force a layup at that time, he would probably be criticized, which would boost the momentum of the home court.
