NBA: Miller moment at the start

Although Kawhi Leonard has advantages in height and speed, and if he pulls up, he can kill Wang Ba with a shot, but Wang Ba has successfully defended many super inside players.

The diehard fans have an inexplicable confidence in their hearts, let's call it mysterious confidence.

Leonard faced Wang Ba's defense without any waves, dribbled with his right hand, and broke through from the right.

Excellent defense is not about staring at the ball or facing the opponent's eyes, but observing the shoulders of the offensive players.

Yes, that's right,

Shoulders!

Because eyes can deceive people, shoulders can't,

Wang Ba always stared at Leonard's shoulders. The moment he broke through, he made a judgment in advance and quickly moved sideways to block his path of breakthrough.

Seeing that the breakthrough was not successful, Leonard used his left foot as the axis, turned right, and broke through from the left.

Just when he turned around and pulled the ball, slapped the ball on the ground, and was ready to receive the rebounding ball, one hand stretched out and completed the aerial interception.

Wang Ba, who has the steal blessing, is simply a BUG and completed the steal.

At the same time,

Ingram had already rushed to the front court, Wang Ba threw the ball out, Ingram received the ball, dribbled once, and took off in three steps.

Bang! !

A powerful tomahawk-style slam dunk! It instantly ignited the whole audience!

Ingram excitedly ran back and high-fived Wang Ba:

"Hey brother, this pass is so cool!!"

Leonard looked at Wang Ba, still expressionless, but his eyes were vaguely fluctuating.

Even ordinary players would lose face if they were intercepted by Wang Ba, not to mention an All-Star like Xiaoka, who must regain face.

The teammate obviously knew the importance of face, and wanted to pass the ball to Leonard after passing half court, but Wang Ba used a front defense and did not give Leonard a chance to receive the ball.

Unable to pass the ball to Leonard, Lowry had to do it himself, facing the defense of the King of Cards, and successfully scored 2 points.

Looking back, the Lakers were attacking, with King Kawhi holding the ball,

The Raptors were playing a four-man zone defense, with Leonard single-handedly targeting Wang Ba.

Johnson exclaimed again:

"Using Leonard to defend Wang Ba is a serious move. I wonder if Wang Ba can still maintain his hit rate under the death coil defense."

Miller frowned:

"It's hard to say. Leonard's defense is recognized. Whether Wang Ba can adjust well is an unknown. Based on his previous performance, I believe there will be no problem."

He is still optimistic about Wang Ba, because Wang Ba plays with his brain, and basketball is an intellectual sport.

In Tencent's live broadcast room,

Yang Yi was not worried, but more excited:

"I think the matchup between Leonard and Wang Ba is a test. If he can face Kawhi's defense and still play very calmly and efficiently, then Wang Ba's status will rise."

"Leonard's death coil is no joke."

Yang Yi is very confident:

"I believe in Wang Ba!"

The game is still going on.

Leonard, like a robot, stared at Wang Ba and didn't give him a chance to catch the ball.

Especially with two long arms and a pair of big hands, waving in front of Wang Ba, it was still very oppressive, and his teammates couldn't pass the ball to him.

Sitting and waiting for death is definitely not an option, Wang Ba turned and ran to the inside.

Leonard followed the inside.

He ran to the basket and bypassed Ibaka. McGee was very smart to cover him, and Wang Ba quickly ran to the left corner outside the three-point line to catch the ball.

Leonard is bigger and less sensitive, plus McGee is blocking him.

Ibaka wants to block the position, so it is impossible for him to get out of the way, otherwise McGee will be left empty and the ball will be a dunk.

Seeing that Wang Ba is about to break away, Leonard goes all out and pushes Ibaka away.

He wants to push McGee, but he is afraid of fouling.

Wang Ba already has space, receives the pass from Caruso, and raises his arm directly.

Leonard chases him, but there is still some distance. Union throws his body out and pounces on Wang Ba.

It must be said that

His height, bounce and wingspan are all top-notch. Even if he is so far away, he can completely cover Wang Ba by jumping like this, making it impossible for Wang Ba to shoot.

Wang Ba is not a fool.

He keeps his action and waits for Leonard to fly over his head, then calmly shoots 3 points.

Swish!

3 points hit.

The cheers at the scene were like a tsunami. The screen showed Wang Ba just tapping Leonard and scoring a three-pointer.

The passionate voice of the DJ echoed in the arena.

"The three-pointer comes from Wang... Ba..."

Wang Ba defended Leonard for 3 rounds, contributing 1 steal, 1 assist, and 3 points. In the remaining round, Leonard did not receive the ball.

The Lakers' lead expanded, the fans began to dance, and Nash immediately requested a timeout.

In the Tencent live broadcast room, Yang Yi shook his head,

"Wang Ba always explodes in some aspects in every game. Today, his steals were quite good."

"He was good at blocking shots last time, but today he was good at blocking shots.It was a steal, it was really amazing."

After the timeout, the game continued.

Wang Ba continued to defend Leonard, and even used the death coil on Leonard who had no ball, which made the fans laugh.

"Is Ba Wang joking?"

"The legend of using magic to defeat magic."

"This should be a case of giving someone a taste of their own medicine."

"Don't get excited yet, it might just be a show."

"I'm just curious, Leonard didn't have the ball, what the hell was he coiling? "

Finally,

Leonard received the ball with the help of a screen.

He had just received the ball and had not had time to dribble. Wang Ba stretched out his right hand and accurately hit the ball.

Snap!

The basketball was hit on Wang Ba's feet and rolled to the side. Leonard wanted to fight for it.

Wang Ba's short stature showed its advantage. He quickly bent down to grab the ball.

Two Lakers players wanted to come to help, but King Ka didn't. He ran directly to the front court.

Seeing this,

Wang Ba did not control the ball with both hands, but flicked the ball with one arm, and the basketball chased King Ka in the front court.

King Ka received the ball and made a dunk.

The cheers at the scene rang out again.

Johnson said in surprise:

"King Ka's dunk is great! But I prefer Wang's defense. It's incredible that he can limit Leonard, the FMVP, in 3 rounds."

Miller:

"We all underestimated Wang Ba's defense. There has never been a player who made Leonard lose for three consecutive rounds. ”

Johnson:

“3-pointers are very strong and can open up space. He has explosive scoring ability and can score at critical moments. He is a master of assists and organization. He can be the engine of the team. He is strong in defense and can limit core players. His ceiling is unlimited... Wang Ba is simply a championship puzzle tailored for James. When James returns from injury, the Lakers can look forward to it!”

Miller proposed a different idea:

“I think the Lakers should take Wang Ba as the core, not LeBron. Obviously, Wang Ba is better.”

Johnson shook his head:

“I admit that Wang Ba, who is still a rookie, is so invincible. He is indeed stronger, but with the current configuration of the Lakers, it is more appropriate to take LeBron as the core.”

Miller:

“Why?”

Johnson:

“Because James is very bad at playing without the ball. The Heat vs. the Mavericks is the best example. Obviously, Wang Ba can play without the ball.”

“Okay, you are right.”

Miller smiled and nodded. His smile was a little bad. I don’t know what he was thinking.
