Chapter 1538 Confronting James

After some warm-up, the game is about to start.

The players of the Nets surrounded utter's meticulous coach. Coach Atkinson said: "Drummond and Harrell must pay attention to protecting the rebound, and pay attention to Davis, and be careful of the conflict between him and James." Pick-and-roll coordination, don't give him too deep. When necessary, help defend in time, understand?"

"Yes."

"clear."

The two agreed.

Coach Atkinson looked at Meng Yun: "Meng Yun, just like what we trained before, you have to use your speed to preempt the block and block in front of James. It is better to let James shoot than let him rush. It’s not easy to let him rush up.”

"En." Meng Yun nodded.

Against the Lakers, Meng Yun's opponent is not the Lakers' point guard, but James, because someone must limit James, and Meng Yun is the best candidate.

Moreover, Meng Yun used to fight when he was in the Heat, and the effect was very good, at least much better than other people's defense effects.

"Also." Atkinson said again: "George should also pay attention to this point. He has a strong scoring ability. James may not attack much at the beginning of the game. Most of them will start from Davis and George. Get up and keep an eye on George."

"Yes, coach."

Finally, Coach Atkinson said again: "The key is to play out our own offense, Drummond and Harrell, you two should play more pick-and-roll tactics, reduce ball possession, or not hold the ball. Collins and Capela of the Hawks learn."

"Harris, Anthony, you must be resolute in your shots. With Drummond inside, don't worry about anything."

After the instructions were finished, he nodded to Meng Yun again, and then waved to everyone, indicating that he could go on stage.

At the same time, the head coach of the Lakers is also making arrangements: "We must pay attention to the opponent's pick-and-roll cooperation. Drummond and Harrell should not be underestimated. Their performance this season and their personal data can explain a lot of things. We must keep up." people."

"Also, it's Meng Yun."

"George, you should defend Meng Yun. I know he is not easy to defend, but we must limit him and double-team him if necessary. He is too threatening."

Hearing this, George nodded with a dignified expression.

The head coach of the Lakers said again: "In terms of offense, we should play as we did during training. How should we ask LeBron to command."

Soon the game started. Players from both sides walked onto the field, and the audience fell silent. All the fans looked at the field.

Snapped!
Zhuang Shen jumped to the ball and slapped it to the backcourt. Meng Yun took the ball and pushed it forward. Just after passing the center line, George immediately rushed forward.

Because the Lakers spent too much money on the Big Three, the strength of the role players is average. In addition to the Big Three, the starting lineup is Pope and McGee. McGee defends Zhuang Shen, Davis defends Harrell, and James defends Anthony. , Pope defended Harris, and George was responsible for defending Meng Yun.

Seeing this matchup, Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll. McGee quickly rushed to Meng Yun and switched defenses with George. Meng Yun immediately accelerated and passed McGee, but Davis was behind, and Meng Yun hugged the ball A ground pass was given to Harrell who slipped from the baseline, and Harrell scored a layup.

Lakers offense.

After James came to the front court, he signaled to pull away, and then passed the ball to George. Sure enough, as Coach Atkinson expected, the Lakers started from George.

George was facing Anthony. He knew that Anthony's movement speed was not as fast as before, so he decisively chose to break through. However, the Nets still had Zhuang Shen inside. Take the ball and immediately pass the ball to Davis.

At this time, McGee ran to Davis and made a screen for him, blocking Harrell, allowing Davis to take the opportunity to shake off Harrell, catch the ball outside the three-point line, and then shoot a three-pointer.

Swish!
The goal is scored, the score is 3:2.

In a blink of an eye, a few minutes passed.

In the past few minutes, the Lakers' offense mainly focused on George and Davis. Harrell still suffered a bit against Davis. His height was flawed, and Anthony couldn't defend against George. After all, Anthony had already arrived. At the end of his career, George is in his prime.

But in 4 minutes, Davis had already scored 5 points and 2 rebounds, George scored 6 points, and the Lakers scored a total of 13 points.

Meng Yun on the Nets side did not rush to make a shot, but he did not fall behind in organizing the offense. It is not that no one in the Nets can score. Harrell scored 4 points, Zhuang Shen 2 points, and Harris hit a three-pointer. , The Nets scored a total of 9 points.

With a score of 13:9, the Lakers lead by 4 points.

"Sister-in-law." Meng Xin frowned and asked, "Why are my brother and the others lagging behind?"

Before Guo Shuyao could speak, Guo Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry, the game has just begun. And look at the Lakers' scoring, as long as they rely on Davis and George, the two of them scored 11 points together. The other players A total of 2 points. This is the problem of the Lakers. Their strongest point is that they have the Big Three composed of James, Davis, and George, but apart from the Big Three, other players do not have much strength."

Meng Xin thought about it, but she still half understood.

She knows basketball just because her brother is an NBA player, it doesn't mean she likes basketball so much, so her understanding is very one-sided, if she doesn't study it, her understanding is naturally very superficial.

It seems that the Nets are at a disadvantage on the court, but it is not the case.

At this time, the game has just started, and neither of the two sides is actually at the upper hand, nor is anyone at the disadvantage. .

But the trial time is almost over.

"Pick and roll."

Meng Yun asked for a pick-and-roll, and then quickly threw away James and rushed to the inside. This time he did not score the ball. The breakthrough was very firm and fast. Taking advantage of Davis being pulled to the outside and directly rushing to the inside, McGee quickly retreated. to the inside lane, but his reaction was a beat slower.

Bang!
Meng Yun split the buckle with one hand.

Seeing Meng Yun's shot, James also started to score actively. Meng Yun was a full meter away from James. When James broke through, he quickly retreated and got stuck first. With his amazing speed, he was always able to get ahead of James' breakthrough route. Get in front of James.

But at this moment, James suddenly retreated and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Swish!
The ball goes in.

"James's breakthrough is unsolvable, and no one can stop him when he rushes up, but his outside shots have been very accurate in the past two seasons." Meng Yun frowned and shook his head, "The players who can be called 'great' are indeed not so good. Easy to deal with."
