Five hundred and seventy-four Queen Bee's Wrath(1/2)
The game was in a stalemate. If both teams didn't score, they wouldn't score, and if they scored, they would score together.
Now that he has entered an offensive state, the Timberwolves have used a tactic of combining internal and external, Wang Kai has become the core of the tactic again.
Paul was not willing to be outdone on the Hornets, and he brought the ball to the wing again, and the other Hornets players pulled the space away.
Paul beat Teague with the ball alone. Paul and Teague are better than pure physical fitness, but Paul is better than Teague in the use of skills and physical use.
Teague has a body of 90 points, and the maximum amount of it can be used is 80. Paul has a physical fitness of 85, so he can perform at a performance of 95 points. This gap is quite large, and it is also where Paul is strong.
Facing Teague, whose body is stronger than him, Paul first controlled the rhythm, dribbled the ball behind his back, and then immediately lowered his body to dribble the ball under his crotch. When Teague also lowered the center of gravity, Paul's first step was very small but very fast, and he suddenly passed Teague half of his body position.
This is what Paul is strong. He can always use the right technology at the right time, which is actually a kind of talent.
Paul passed Teague half a step and broke through to the basket. Seeing that the opponent's defense was coming, Paul did not force a layup or pass the ball in a hurry. He jumped up and shook it, and put the basketball back in the crack and stuffed the basketball into West's hand, who was also blocking the rebound. West's finishing ability under the basket was speechless. He took the ball with one hook and took two points.
Wang Kai played in the Timberwolves with the combination of inside and outside, and Paul started a one-on-one fight on the wing. Both of them were players who could end the offense and connect the entire team. Such players were also a symbol of the top players.
The Timberwolves hit Wang Kai again, and the basketball hit Wang Kai's hand. Morris couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that it was going to be no longer possible, he immediately hugged Wang Kai tightly with a tactical foul, and even Wang Kai didn't let Wang Kai do the attack.
Morris fouled in advance, and Hornets head coach Scott took this opportunity and quickly replaced Morris and Percy.
Scott took advantage of the dead ball and finally replaced a serious No. 3 player. The Timberwolves kicked off at the bottom line and drove the basketball out again.
When Wang Kai got the ball again, he was not facing a dispensable defense like Mosson, but Percy's championship-level defense. Last season, Percy won the championship with the Celtics. Moreover, Percy and Ray Allen took turns to defend Kobe, the arrowhead figure, which shows that Percy's defense level is absolutely extraordinary.
Although the Celtics' defense is team defense, you can't adapt to team defense without an extraordinary defensive awareness.
When Wang Kai saw that it was Percy who came to defend himself, he immediately framed the ball and prepared to use his speed to attack Percy. Although Percy was good at defending, Percy was still old after all.
But once Wang Kai faced the frame, Percy immediately stepped forward and shouted double-teaming at West behind him.
West came over and double-teamed. At this time, Wang Kai was one-on-two all of a sudden. He quickly passed the ball to Love who was pulling towards the three-point line.
Love's ball was an open place, so he shot a mid-range shot, and he became more powerful as soon as he made a move.
Love's three-pointer shots were a bit bad if he made two points.
Love missed the shot, and the Hornets immediately grabbed the basketball and pushed forward again. This time it was pushed forward and Sauton held the ball.
Sauton didn't have the patience of Paul when he held the ball. He took the ball and dribbled the ball behind his back, and then stopped immediately and took action.
"Bang"
Thorton missed the shot, but the Hornets really had the luck of rebounding today. Thorton jumped out a long way and jumped directly to Paul outside the three-point line.
The ball was lost and recovered, and Paul immediately pulled the ball outside the three-point line, allowing his teammates to open the space for himself. Paul also had to play singles on the wing, and the Hornets players were pulled to the other side.
At this time, everyone thought that Paul was going to break through, but at this moment, Paul faced Teague at this time, but when he came up, he was directly behind his back. Paul wanted to hit Teague with his back, and this action seemed a bit confusing.
Because Paul has no advantage in physical form! Why do you have to fight with your back?
But if you really want to pursue it, players with better skills have a higher success rate than those with face frames. Haven’t you seen some old players, the face frames are gone in the end, but can they be behind their backs? What does this mean? It means that the body needs for back attacks are simpler. As long as you can withstand, the remaining steps are flexible enough and skillful, you can score points, but the face frames are not good, and the face frames have higher requirements for speed.
Paul resisted Teague two steps, dribbled the ball one step, and pressed it one step, and held it tightly. Teague pushed out desperately. At this time, if it was an inside defender, he would pay attention to the opponent's turn. However, Teague didn't have much experience in defending the inside from the outside. While he was still exerting force, Paul turned over and cleaned Teague. Teague's strength was twisted. Paul turned around and passed by Teague. Although McGee and Wang Kai both chased, just before McGee and Wang Kai took off, Paul shot with a very fast shot.
Wang Kai and McGee blocked the two jumping monsters together, but they did not touch Paul's ball. The ball was indeed much faster than people.
The basketball fell into the Timberwolves' basket with a "sweeping" sound, and Paul beat Teague two in a row.
This situation is a bit difficult to deal with, and the Timberwolves suffered a loss in the position of point guard.
Moreover, Paul has performed well continuously and the situation is not good.
The Timberwolves hit again, and Percy Rao Qian and Armstrong stopped Wang Kai from receiving the ball, so it was a bit difficult for Wang Kai to receive the ball.
At this time, the basketball was naturally handed over to Love to support him. Love took the ball and supported him to Teague. Teague came over and shot quickly.
Although Teague's projectile is both projectiles and Paul's projectiles, the difference is a slight difference. Teague's projectile is completely brainless and misses.
Armstrong picked up a rebound at the basket and he immediately passed the ball to Paul, who performed well in a row.
At this time, everyone had already seen that Paul's condition was coming, and basketball should be handled by Paul.
Paul brought the ball at this time. The Timberwolves guessed that Paul might still have to play singles on the wing, but at this time Paul pulled towards the wing and called a cover from the middle.
Mstrong ran up from the middle, and Paul suddenly launched an attack, got up and reached the free throw line. Facing Wang Kai's pass, Wang Kai's foot stopped slightly, and Paul took another diagonal line to the basket position.
Although this position was blocking, there was almost no shooting angle, and McGee's defense followed.
Under such circumstances, Paul flew sideways, putting his back on the basket and laying up with his back to the basket. Paul made an extremely tricky arc, and the basketball rotated very well.
This tricky backhand layup passed McGee's fingertips, rubbed the rebound, and then went in.
Paul suddenly made a wonderful backhand layup, and the Hornets players were immediately excited. Both the players on the bench and the Hornets players on the court all screamed excitedly.
After Paul himself made a wonderful layup, he waved his fists vigorously.
The Hornets played well in the first quarter today. Now Paul finally came out in the second quarter to boost the team's momentum.
Once Paul motivated his momentum, the Timberwolves felt bad. McHale immediately called a timeout, making Paul crazy. This is not an interesting thing.
At this time, Bill Walton said without fear of the big deal: "Paul's consecutive balls are so beautiful, with breakthrough passes, back attacks, and magical layups. The Hornets' momentum was driven by one breath. Paul is definitely the top guy in the league!"
Zhang Weiping also said at this time: "Paul is really amazing. He scored points without any angle. This is impossible from a normal perspective!"
While everyone was praising Paul, the Timberwolves were trying to find ways to limit Paul.
Now that Teague can't stop Paul, McHale had no choice but to replace Teague and let Fery defend Paul. As a defensive player, Fery is still slightly more professional in defense than Teague.
After the timeout, the Timberwolves kicked off at the sideline, and the basketball was directly driven into Wang Kai's hands.
Wang Kai got the basketball and swung his body and directly passed Percy. After Percy passed, Wang Kai thought he had finally had the opportunity to play.
But he was about to take action, and Percy also made a tactical foul and directly gave Wang Kai first.
Wang Kai was fouled again, and what's even more terrible is that there has not been a free throw yet. Now that five fouls have not arrived, Wang Kai has not had time to shoot.
Percy used his foul to hold Wang Kai down, just to prevent the Timberwolves from squeezing out their morale.
The Timberwolves kicked off again and wanted to find Wang Kai, the Hornets promised not to let Wang Kai catch the ball. The Timberwolves' basketball could only be passed to Curry. Curry took the ball at this time, although the opponent saved it, the Hornets' inside line leaked.
Because the Hornets have to defend Wang Kai and also to repair Curry, there must be loopholes, and Curry's pass is also very sharp.
The basketball was passed by one hand and hit the ground. McGee was at the basket. McGee almost faced Kong Lan with the ball, and he was determined to score points at this time.
But at this moment, McGee was in a state of distraction. This guy wanted to dunk the ball when he got the ball. Just dunk it! McGee wanted to play a fancy dunk, but he did not dunk it, but instead hit the ring.
"Clang!"
McGee's dunk sounded very loud, but the basketball did not enter the basket, but instead flew out far.
"Oh oh!" Once McGee was detained, the audience immediately booed regretfully.
At this time, the Hornets also realized that the Timberwolves lineup's cover is here, and each team has a 2.b. The Timberwolves' 2.b is this one.
The Hornets' basketball was passed to Paul's hands, and Paul is in a very popular state now.
He brought the ball over, and Foye paid care to defend. Foye and Paul kept a good distance and let Paul go on the side and prevented Paul from going to the middle.
Paul was restricted from his position, so he immediately called his teammates to cover him, and David West ran up.
Paul pulled the left and the right. When he saw that the opponent still did not allow him to go to the middle, Paul simply stabbed forward and quickly took a step back and threw a three-pointer outside the three-point line and threw a three-pointer.
Paul's three-pointers are also relatively stable. The only disadvantage is that he takes slower shots. Three-pointers are not Paul's powerful scoring methods. Paul's powerful scoring methods are still breakthroughs and various jump shots.
However, at this time, Foye was slightly blocked by West and Love did not defend, which gave Paul a chance to make a three-pointer.
"brush"!
Paul made another three-pointer and made another move. Paul was in good shape today. He just made a layup without an angle. This three-pointer with a slight gap was naturally also made a accurate shot.
Paul came up and scored another three-pointer. The Timberwolves called a timeout but did not stop him. Paul began to go wild.
At this time, McHale also realized that Paul's state was coming, and this was not something that a person could defend. He hurriedly came up to command the team to strengthen defense against Paul, using assisted defense or double-teaming methods.
The Timberwolves were caught off guard by Paul because Paul has always been the first half and attacked in the second half. But today, Paul opened fire in the first half.
The Timberwolves came again, and the Hornets were taking medicine according to the prescription, trying their best not to let Wang Kai catch the ball, defended Curry and Love, and let go of McGee and Fery.
Under this defensive strategy, the Timberwolves dare not pass the ball to McGee anymore. Only geniuses know what McGee can do.
Love quickly transferred the ball to Fye. Fye gradually changed his position to become a full-time shooter, and he raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.
Foye's shot was very firm, but he didn't make the shot.
The Timberwolves are not very lucky now. When the Hornets were in good shape, McGee missed a dunk, Fery missed a three-pointer, and Curry and Love were in average form, which gave the Hornets a chance to counterattack.
The Hornets got the basketball again, and indeed passed the ball to Paul. At this time, Paul took the ball and pushed it forward again.
Wang Kai couldn't help it. When Paul and Foye were in conflict, Wang Kai rushed out to double-team. Wang Kai and Foye's double-team were very mature in cooperation, and Paul was suddenly double-teamed in the middle.
If this double-team is used against an ordinary player, it will definitely be a steal, and the opponent will not have the chance to practice moving.
But in addition to having good ball control, Paul also has many small moves on the verge of foul.
Paul pushed Wang Kai with his hand, and jumped backwards by controlling the ball, trying to open up the space. Ferye naturally didn't want Paul to have space. When he chased him, Paul turned around and sent the basketball to his crotch.
Once Paul gets under his crotch, it will be difficult to deal with, because Paul's center of gravity is extremely low and his ball control speed is also fast.
Foye couldn't make a move, so Wang Kai quickly double-teamed from the side, but at this time, Paul continued to use his dribble to control the ball with his right hand, while pushing and pulling Wang Kai with his left hand, and at the same time he could draw a one-handed change of direction and take a step back to one side.
Paul's small ball control move is between foul and no foul, and once you pull his hand, Paul immediately tricks you into foul. This trick of ball control is not open and upright, but competitive sports does not need to be open and upright. As long as you roam on the edge of the rules, you can win the ball, and the effect is reasonable, because competitive sports are life-and-death and useless means.
Paul can also control the ball while fighting against Wang Kai's double-team, and Wang Kai was also a little angry by Paul.
