king of defenders

Chapter 1522 Tiger Harrell

"Pick and roll."

Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll, used Zhuang Shen's pick-and-roll to break through, and then passed the ball out to Anthony. The Nuggets thought they were repeating the old trick and wanted to shoot a three-pointer. Anthony, but Anthony passed the ball too.

Anthony did not pass to Harris, nor did he pass to Meng Yun, but directly to the middle. People turned their heads, and suddenly saw Zhuang Shen, who was originally at the top of the arc, rushing to the inside along the middle. The basketball was given and he grabbed the ball. Take a step forward, and it's a quick buckle.

Such a big man is unstoppable when he rushes up, and the Nuggets players can only watch Zhuang Shen score again.

"Damn." The Nuggets coach was annoyed and called a timeout.

Here, Meng Yun and the others high-fived Zhuang Shen one after another.

This ball is an established tactic, relying on Meng Yun and Anthony's restraint, disrupting the Nuggets' defense and attracting their attention, then Zhuang Shen suddenly made an air cut, and the ball was given to him from the outside, so he didn't need to face the defense , There is no need to dribble, and you can attack the frame directly.

Coach Atkinson's explanation to Zhuang Shen is to reduce dribbling, or not to dribble at all, and rely on his teammates to create opportunities for him to attack the frame directly.

Zhuang Shen didn't play like this in the Pistons. In the Pistons, he still had to attack with the ball. The players of the Pistons didn't have Meng Yun's excellent ability to create opportunities and pass the ball. It's just that Zhuang Shen's offensive efficiency with the ball not too high.

In a few minutes, Zhuang Shen has scored 8 points, in addition to 3 rebounds, one frontcourt rebound and two backcourt rebounds, with amazing efficiency.

"Zhuang Shen has completely become a blue-collar worker."

"Is there anything wrong? See, Zhuang Shen has scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, [-]% shooting and high efficiency in just a few minutes. I think this is his second spring."

The fans are talking.

Zhuang Shen is in a good mood. He doesn't care whether he is a blue-collar or not, because he has realized that traditional centers will decline and it is not easy to mix.

What's more, the Nets have Meng Yun. Even though he was an All-Star player, there is still a big gap compared with Meng Yun. If he is not a superstar player, he can only be a blue-collar around Meng Yun.

It's like Love is next to James.

Pause ends.

The Nuggets made some arrangements and carried out personnel rotation. They replaced Millsap and Plumlee. Millsap was a little shorter, and Jokic was only 208 centimeters. The two couldn't compete. Zhuangshen is a rebounding madman, so replacing him with a 211 cm Plumlee can further limit Zhuangshen and protect rebounds better.

After this substitution, the Nuggets sent out two towers, and the interior space became narrower. It was difficult for Zhuang Shen to get the ball in a deep position and find opportunities.

Seeing this situation, Meng Yun did not continue to play for Zhuang Shen, but signaled Zhuang Shen to pull people away. Meng Yun broke through frequently, and then distributed the ball to the outside line, while speeding up the offensive and defensive rhythm.

boom!
Anthony made a shot, Plumlee got a rebound, and the Nuggets counterattacked, but they didn't score. Zhuang Shen grabbed the rebound and passed it to Meng Yun. Meng Yun took the ball at full speed and rushed to the Nuggets half court , The Nuggets players quickly retreated and blocked the front.

However, Meng Yun didn't go up by himself, but passed the ball from behind to Harrell who followed up. Harrell grabbed the ball and dribbled it a step. He was already within the three-second zone, and he jumped up with a explosive dunk. His physical fitness is undoubtedly revealed, like a tiger.

A moment later, Harrell got the ball in the low post, and the others pulled away. Harrell turned around and faced the basket. It was Jokic who was defending him. Care, a sudden acceleration breakthrough.

His speed is much faster than that of Jokic. With one step, he passed half of Jokic. Plumlee rushed over, but Harrell hugged the ball and jumped up before he could move. The body stretched in the air, like a drawn bow, with a sudden force, both hands snapped.

"Hey, this dunk is too domineering."

"Harrell is still playing so well. His physical fitness and explosive power are really terrifying. He reminds me of the half-orc Faried."

"Hey, don't say that the two are still very similar, even the hairstyle is the same, but Harrell seems to be stronger than Faried."

"It's not just stronger, it's much stronger."

Harrell's explosive style of play and explosive physical fitness reminded fans of the former Rockets player, Faried, who has the title of "half-orc".

In fact, some people have compared the two together before, but Harrell never cared about it. He didn't want to compare himself with Faried. Bright, Faried has disappeared in the nba.

It's no wonder that Harrell is unwilling to compete with Faried in the derby. Apart from his explosive style of play, there is indeed a gap between Faried and Harrell, and Faried is a drug addict.

No one wants to compare themselves to an addict.

Most of the first quarter passed quickly, and the Nets began to make substitutions. Meng Yun and Anthony were replaced first. Meng Yun only scored 2 points and made a layup.

He didn't take many shots today, he was organizing the offense, creating opportunities for his teammates, and sending assists. So far he has sent 5 assists, almost all of which fell on Zhuang Shen and Harrell.

In this quarter, the Nets played the best. Zhuang Shen and Harrell scored the most points. First, Zhuang Shen scored consecutively and made waves in the interior. Then Harrell took over the torch and began to shine. Although he is only 203 cm tall, But the mobility, bounce and explosiveness are better than Jokic, which makes the Nuggets head coach a little depressed. Millsap seemed to be better at defending against Harrell before.

After all, Millsap and Harrell are short and stocky insiders, and there is nothing that can be used by the opponent in defense.

Coach Atkinson gradually replaced the bench lineup, and Zhuang Shen and Harrell were also replaced one after another. When the two were replaced, there was warm applause from the audience.

This means that the Nets fans have recognized their performance and accepted them.

Listening to the warm applause in the audience, Zhuang Shen and Harrell were also emotional. This was their first regular season game as the Nets.When they came to an unfamiliar team, they were very happy to be recognized by the fans in the first regular season game.

When the two came to the sidelines, they both hugged Meng Yun and expressed their heartfelt thanks.

If it weren't for Meng Yun to constantly create opportunities for them and feed them the ball, they would not have such a good performance, nor would they be recognized by the Nets fans so quickly.

Meng Yun smiled and said: "You're welcome, we are teammates now, I should do these things, and I'm just passing the ball, and it's you who score the ball in the end, isn't it?"

Zhuang Shen and Harrell grinned and both laughed.
