NBA: Miller moment at the start

It is normal to miss a shot, no one can hit every ball 100%.

Looking back, Irving used Horford's screen again to get rid of Wang Ba's defense and scored 2 points.

Wang Ba was helpless.

The Celtics team is still very capable of executing tactics. Irving, the only one who is easily impulsive, also played very reasonably.

Old James dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt. Wang Ba went around the screen of Kuzima and came to the 45-degree angle on the left.

He turned his back to the basket. Smart was like a mad dog, squeezing through the defense and chasing him relentlessly.

James' ball has been passed.

Wang Ba received the ball, turned his back to the basket and suddenly jumped up. He was in the air, turned around, leaned back slightly, and stretched out his right foot to keep his balance.

Raise your arm and shake your wrist!

The arc of the shot is very flat, and the ball speed is very fast, like a high-speed flying cannonball.

Boom

Smash into the basket!

Smart was stunned.

A normal person would definitely turn around after receiving the ball, and then shoot. At the very least, he would turn halfway. I have never seen anyone turn directly in the air.

So he never expected that Wang Ba would jump with his back to the basket. Not to mention blocking the shot, he didn't even jump, and heard the explosion of the basketball hitting the basket.

Smart punched the air fiercely and cursed in a low voice:

"Ste!"

"You won't always have such good luck!"

Wang Ba smiled confidently, and his smile undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Speaking of which, Smart's defense ranks at the forefront of the league, and he has defended many superstars. Usually, as long as he makes provocative moves and sprays some trash talk, the opponent will get angry.

He himself is not good at trash talking, and it was difficult for him to spray a word, but Wang Ba was not angry at all, and even showed an inexplicable smile.

This smile is a bit like a kindergarten child saying to an adult, come on! I'm going to knock you down, and the adult smiles and says okay, I know you are the best.

That feeling seems to be despised!

Looking back,

The Celtics dribbled the ball across half court, and after two passes, the ball came into Smart's hands.

He instinctively observed Wang Ba.

The damn Oriental did not stick to Irving, but kept a step away, his eyes still fixed on Tatum on the left.

Smart was relieved and passed the ball to Irving.

At this moment,

Wang Ba suddenly kicked the ground hard, jumped out like a cheetah, and intercepted the ball!

"Fuck!"

"He did it on purpose!"

Yes

Wang Ba did it on purpose.

He looked at Tatum, just as a means of deception, to make the person who wanted to pass the ball think that he was distracted and guarding against Tatum.

In fact, he was always staring at Irving, waiting for a sudden attack to steal the ball.

After getting the ball, Wang Ba quickly dribbled to the front court, and the angry Smart chased him closely.

Because Wang Ba didn't catch the ball the first time he stole it, he paused for a while to adjust, so he started slowly and his speed was not fast.

Just after halftime, Smart had caught up and stuck to Wang Ba, stretched out his hand to interfere with Wang Ba's dribbling, and kept talking trash.

Smart was not good at talking trash, but Wang Ba's smile aroused his anger, and he couldn't help but vent it.

"Want to score comfortably? Don't dream!"

"I will defend you to death!!"

Trash talk ability 0, lethality 0, Wang Ba didn't even look at it,

He glanced behind him, his teammates had caught up, but the Celtics were chasing him closely and preventing him from passing the ball.

In the case of confrontation, passing the ball on the move is not reliable, it's better to do it yourself.

Beyond the 3-point line, suddenly stopped.

Collect the ball,

Take off,

Smart couldn't brake in time and rushed out a few meters away,

Raise your arm!

Wrist shake!

The movement is as smooth as stockings.

The basketball left his fingertips, spun and jumped into the basket.

Swish!

The ball went into the net!

Nearly 20,000 spectators at the scene cheered loudly.

Smart frowned, his eyes were full of irritation.

In his impression, Orientals are not fast, do not jump high, and play softly. In the past, he would not bother to defend Oriental players.

Wang Ba is completely different from the Oriental players in his impression. His playing style is very sharp, but he is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

Shooting 3 points, mid-range shots, assists, defensive steals, as if he can do everything.

"I will defend!"

"Must defend!!"

Smart is frustrated, but he will never give up.

He can succeed because of his determination to never give up when encountering difficulties. This is also his tough guy nature.

Sometimes when playing away games, fans will insult players and throw things at them. Even in that situation, Smart has never backed down!

Now he just encounters a little trouble, and he doesn't say anything!

It is commendable to face the challenge head on, but it is a pity that Smart's talent is there, and there is still a big gap between him and Wang Ba.

Defense is not accumulationIf you do it to the extreme, you will definitely succeed.

Next, Wang Ba got rid of Smart continuously, and caused Smart a lot of trouble during physical contact.

Seeing that the Lakers were leading more and more, Stevens asked for a timeout again.

In the Lakers' home court, if they were beaten in the third quarter, the Lakers' morale would be boosted, and it would be difficult to win.

"We must change our defense and double-team..."

Stevens stopped talking before he finished.

He is not a person who likes to waver. If they change their defense strategy and double-team Wang Ba now, their previous efforts will be in vain.

Wang Ba has the ability to activate his teammates, and by then they may be in full bloom.

Changing orders every day is a big taboo on the basketball court. Stevens didn't expect that he was almost broken by Wang Ba.

"Smart, you go, Baines!"

He made a decision quickly.

Smart weakened the inside defense and offense in order to limit Wang Ba.

It did not achieve the desired effect, and also resulted in insufficient height in the inside and insufficient rim protection, and the inside and outside could not be defended.

If they continue to play like this, they will lose.

If Baynes is replaced, at least the inside can be protected.

Smart felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

He just had the determination to not admit defeat, and was full of fighting spirit, but the coach put him on the bench.

Think about it,

When he started defending Wang Ba, Wang Ba performed even better, scoring, stealing, assisting, and completely beating himself, but he was not as good as Jaylen Brown's defensive effect.

Besides, his offensive ability was too poor, so it was inevitable for the coach to change players at this time.

On the Lakers side,

LeBron and Wang Ba were whispering to each other:

"They seem to be preparing to change players. If they change Baynes, they will definitely use a four-man zone defense, Jaylen Brown will chase us, and we can't shoot from the outside, so you can get through the zone defense area, get rid of the chase, and break their formation at the same time."

Wang Ba nodded:

"I think so too."

LeBron grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth:

"Brother, let's go all out and win the game!"

"Win the game."

Teammate all gathered around and shouted:

"Win the game!"

"Let's go to the nightclub tonight after winning the game, I'll pay for the whole game!"

Wang Ba suspected that LeBron was looking for an excuse to go to the nightclub. Sure enough, people named James all like nightclubs!
