NBA super small ball center
Chapter 178
Wang Lang clenched his fists: "I understand, I will find a way to destroy the Rockets with offense, along with Curry and Thompson."
Kerr smiled: "I'm sure the three of you can do it, the Rockets' defense isn't that good, and even without Green, your offense is enough to dominate the league."
Wang Lang nodded, fell into silence, and gathered strength.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the bench lineups on both sides played well.
The Warriors' bench lineup sat at home and was precise with the fans, whether it was Barbossa or Livingston, they scored many times.
And the Rockets' bench lineup also felt on the line, scoring multiple shots.
The defense of both sides did not play too well, but the pace of attack was not fast, and it was a positional battle.
After such a back-to-back tug-of-war, with six minutes left in the second quarter, the main lineups of both sides came on, and the score was 45-39, and the Warriors led by six points.
The lineup on the Warriors' side is center Wang Lang, power forward Speights, small forward Iguodala, scoring guard Thompson, and point guard Curry.
This lineup had not been used much before, but it had to be changed because both Green and Barnes were in foul trouble.
Wang Lang had been prepared for this for a long time, and it was not surprising.
On the Rockets' side, center Capela, power forward Beasley, small forward Ariza, scoring guard Harden, and point guard Beverley.
The center has changed from Howard to Capela, which also means that the Rockets' ability to switch defenses from the outside has improved, unlike Howard, who will be beaten by Curry to score easily, after all, Capela is fast enough.
However, Capela's interior defense ability is not as good as Howard's, and it is difficult to defend against Wang Lang.
This is also what Wang Lang is looking forward to, the Rockets are equivalent to opening the door to him to break out inside
, Wang Lang performed well in the first quarter, and there were many more opportunities in the second quarter.
And whether the Rockets can wrap him up has also become the key to the change in tactics.
The Rockets attacked, and Harden dribbled to the perimeter.
Facing Thompson, Harden asked Capela to come over to block the pick-and-roll.
Wang Lang also followed the defense.
Thompson didn't dare to let Harden go and chose to bypass the cover close defense.
But this gave Harden a chance to break through, and Harden also changed direction with a dribble and hit the basket.
Thompson couldn't block it, defended sideways, and followed closely.
Wang Lang also rushed to the inner line.
But Capela was just as fast, and he came to the basket for the first time to wait for his chance.
Harden didn't look at the pass, and threw the ball directly in Capela's direction, wanting to receive it empty.
Wang Lang saw Harden's intentions, jumped high, touched the ball with his left hand, and knocked the ball out of bounds.
Capela jumped up but didn't catch the ball and landed on the ground.
Rockets throw-in, Capela serves, hands to Harden.
Harden got the ball with just 12 seconds left on offense.
Harden also had to step back again and dribble and shoot under Thompson's defense.
Thompson's defense was also in place without any problems.
But Harden felt good enough to hit the hard shot and hit the mid-range shot.
The Warriors were 45-41 and the margin was back to four points.
Wang Langyi frowned, admiring Harden's play.
It's hard to score such a difficult goal and cause so many fouls.
But he also knows where Harden's weakness lies, and that is Harden's sloppy defense.
The Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang dribbled to the frontcourt.
Iguodala came over to block Wang Lang.
Harden, who was defending Iguodala, also ran over.
With the help of blocking and dismantling, Wang Lang delayed Capela's defensive footsteps, followed the acceleration breakthrough, and rushed to the penalty area.
Harden had no choice but to change his defense.
Capela was left behind and could not follow.
Harden had no defensive ability in front of Wang Lang, but subconsciously reached out to steal.
But Wang Lang's full-level ball control ignored this action.
Wang Lang followed up and took off outside the box, gliding in the air and scoring on a dunk above Harden's head.
The Warriors are 47-41 with a six-point lead.
Wang Lang also got 21 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, which was comprehensive enough.
The Warriors fans cheered and applauded.
Iguodala also kept nodding his head and gave Wang Lang a thumbs up.
This simple combination also took advantage of Harden's lack of defense to hit the Rockets' real and weak underbelly.
In the live broadcast room, Olajuwon was also nodding: "It's really a subtle offensive strategy, the Warriors made good use of Harden's defensive problems, using Iguodala as a bait, so that Harden had to face Wang Lang."
"And Capela didn't dare to let go of Wang Lang, after all, Wang Lang's three-point shot was terrible and he could shoot continuously. As for Harden, there's nothing he can do.
O'Neal nodded: "And Ariza is defending Thompson and won't defend Iguodala, which gives Wang Lang many opportunities to face Harden."
"On the other hand, if Harden faces Wang Lang, it won't be so easy to score, so even if Harden can make a foul to keep Green from playing, he still can't change the outcome.
Olajuwon sighed: "So the Rockets need to think about other issues, whether to wrap Wang Lang, and if so, what will be the result."
O'Neal shook his head: "It's useless to wrap the bag, Wang Lang's diagonal pass is as accurate and fast as Stockton, if he traps him, he can just give Iguodala a pass, and the Rockets' interior defense will be penetrated." In
the next round, Wang Lang also executed his tactics perfectly.
He has repeatedly blocked and dismantled Iguodala specifically for Harden's lack of defense.
The Rockets also tried various defensive strategies, first Capela stepped back to prevent Wang from breaking through, but Wang Lang made two three-pointers to sabotage this tactic.
Followed by the bag clamp, Harden and Capela wrapped Wang Lang together.
As a result, Wang Lang passed a good ball, and a diagonal pass with extremely fast ball speed was handed to Iguodala who was released.
Iguodala also scored a direct dunk against Beasley, who was not defending well inside.
The next offense was even more fluid, leading the Warriors to an offensive frenzy.
Wang Lang made two three-pointers and scored three dunks to score 12 points.
He also assisted Iguodala for a dunk and scored 4 points, and Iguodala passed to Curry to shoot and score, allowing Curry to shoot two three-pointers and score 6 points.
On the Rockets' side, Harden and Capela's blocking and pick-and-roll were also difficult to defend, allowing Capela to find scoring opportunities many times, and scored 8 points by cutting the basket and making layups.
Harden also maintained his touch, and was still able to shoot under Thompson's defense, scoring 12 points, the same as Wang Lang.
By the end of the second quarter, the Warriors were 69-61 with an eight-point lead.
The Rockets' offense is strong enough, but the Warriors are superior.
Wang Lang also got 33 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, and also had a block.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded: "Complete the special achievement, get a quasi-triple-double data of 30+8+8 in the first half, and reward the [Dunk King] Vince Carter's special skill [Turn around and dunk on the spot] can turn around and dunk after receiving the ball in the game."
"It's a physically demanding dunk that also requires a lot of jumping and dunking, but it's also an effective way to avoid defense.
The corners of Wang Lang's mouth rose, ready to use it next.
