NBA super small ball center

Chapter 182

Wang Lang had a good night's rest, and the next day he came to the home arena and saw the long-awaited Warriors fans.

Fans wore the jerseys of Wang Lang, Curry, and Thompson, and applauded and cheered the three while chanting the names of the Warriors.

Green sat on the sidelines, dressed in more casual casual clothes, watching the game from the sidelines.

This is also something that Cole has long arranged.

Green doesn't have much to say about the break, after all, it's just one game.

Green was not idle, constantly giving various opinions to his teammates and cheering them on.

Wang Lang is very clear about Green's character, and he is not surprised.

Before the start of the game, the starting lineups of both sides were introduced.

Warriors center Wang Lang, power forward Looney, small forward Barnes, scoring guard Thompson, point guard Curry.

It's also a young lineup.

The Nuggets are younger.

Center Jokic, power forward Gallinari, small forward Farid, scoring guard Gary Harris, point guard Moodier.

On the bench, Wang Lang also saw Nurkic in a suit sitting there.

Nurkic kept his head down, didn't say a word, didn't talk to his teammates, and was visibly unhappy.

Wang Lang knows very well why Nurkic is like this, this guy not only lost his starting position, but also suffered an injury, and his future with the Nuggets is getting slimmer and slimmer, which is not a good thing for Nurkic.

Nurkic's path to the heart of the team came to an end, leaving him to play only as a role player in his career.

In the live broadcast room, A Smith and O'Neill are both hosts, as well as Reggie Miller.

A Smith spoke first: "This game is a center matchup, and these two may be the strongest centers in the next few years, Wang Lang and Jokic, who do you think will perform better?"

O'Neal patted the table: "Jokic is very perfect, offense, passing, blocking, becoming the leader of the team, but his defense is not as good as Wang Lang, and his speed is slower, which are his weaknesses."

"So, in this game, I am optimistic that Wang Lang will beat Jokic.

Reggie Miller analyzed: "I'm a three-point shooter, so I care a lot about three-point shots, Wang Lang's three-point shots have obviously reached the level of top shooters, Jokic doesn't have it yet, and can only occasionally shoot three-pointers, so I'm more optimistic about Wang Lang."

"As for the center position, Wang Lang's rebounding and defense are better than Jokic's, and he has more means of attacking inside, of course, Jokic's skills are also very good, although it is his rookie season, he also shows enough offensive skills.

"If one day Jokic can shoot a lot of three-pointers like Wang Lang, then I will have a better opinion of Jokic.

A-Smith then asked: "What will Nurkic's injury do to the game, will it make the Warriors' interior defense better?, and what about Green's suspension?"

O'Neal replied easily: "Nurkic's injury hurts him the most, and it doesn't affect the Warriors, it's just that the interior defense is better." As for Green, this guy doesn't have an advantage in defending a tall center like Jokic, and once the defense moves too much, he will eat a lot of fouls and even technical fouls, and he is not very useful.

"And Koko is also to protect Green, after all, there are too many technical fouls and he will be suspended.

Reggie Miller agreed: "Well said, Green is a small center, and there's no denying that he's great defensively, but he's also hard to handle against bigger players, especially Jokic.

A Smith nodded: "Then let's see what kind of performance the two sides will have in the absence of Green and Nurkic." "

The game started with both sides jumping the ball in the middle of the field.

Wang Lang and Jokic stood across from each other, watching the referee throw the ball into the air and jump at the same time.

Wang Lang's jump was much higher than Jokic's, and he flicked the ball and handed it to Curry.

Curry catches the ball, and the Warriors attack.

Curry dribbles to the frontcourt.

Wang Lang blocked Curry, allowing Curry to dribble to the top of the left arc.

Farid hurriedly let go of Barnes and wrapped up Curry with Moodier.

It's also their most common way of defending.

But Wang Lang had already taken the opportunity to run to the bottom right corner.

Gallinari, who was defending him, followed.

As soon as Wang Lang ran to the position, Curry passed to the empty Barnes.

Barnes didn't stop the ball either, and passed to Wang Lang at the basket position.

Wang Lang received the ball in the bottom corner, faced Gallinari, and made a feint to shake the dribble.

Gallinari's center of gravity is too high, and it is difficult to stand on his feet, swaying from side to side.

Wang Lang also saw the opportunity, broke through directly from the bottom line on the right side, and hit the basket.

Gallinari was completely overrun and could only chase after him.

Wang Lang had already taken off outside the box, his body gliding in the air, avoiding Jokic's interior defense, and scoring with both hands.

He landed on the ground, looked at the celebrating Warriors fans, and shook his fist.

Curry also ran over to high-five Wang Lang.

The Warriors started the game with a 2-0 lead.

The Nuggets didn't get nervous in the slightest and continued to attack.

Moodier dribbled to the perimeter, and Jokic came over to block the pick-and-roll.

The two sides passed the ball hand-to-hand, and Moodier handed it to Jokic and started to run.

Jokic took the ball on the outside, and under Wang Lang's defense, he scanned the whole court.

Farid had already blocked Gallinari and allowed Gallinari to run into the bottom left corner.

This forced Barnes to switch defenses, with Wayne Rooney following in line with Faried.

Fortunately, Rooney's pace was completely up to speed and did not give Farid a chance to score under the basket.

But Jokic passed to Gallinari.

Gallinari is significantly taller than Barnes and has strong shots and three-point shots.

Barnes' defense didn't work either.

The Warriors are 2-3 and trailing by one point.

Jokic also had an extra assist.

Wang Langyi frowned, looking at this set of offensive tactics, knowing that the Nuggets were by no means here for an away tour, but had the idea of winning.

The Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang dribbled to the frontcourt.

Facing Gallinari, Wang Lang paused slightly and passed directly to Curry, who was running.

Curry also ran to the right side of the arc to catch the ball after Looney's pick-and-roll.

Barnes was cleared again, and Farid and Moodier wrapped up Curry.

Curry hits the ball and passes to Barnes.

Barnes also rushed to the basket to get Jokic's attention.

Barnes followed the ball and handed it to Wang Lang, who ran to the front of the penalty area.

The moment Wang Lang received the ball, he shot extremely quickly, shot with one foot, and leaned back slightly.

This move completely avoided the defense of Jokic and Gallinari and scored again.

The Warriors were 4-3 and had a one-point lead.

Wang Lang also scored 4 points and got off to a smooth start.

Warriors fans continued to celebrate, cheering.
