Legendary basketball manager

In addition to Wall, the Wizards also selected three other rookies in the draft: Trevor Booker, Hammadi Ndiaye, and Kevin Seraphim.

Among them, Seraphim, who is the No. 17 pick, is also favored by many ball critics.

After the draft, he also posted harsh words on his personal social media:

"I'm the best wing player this year!"

The implication is: the teams that chose Gordon Hayward, Paul George, and Aminu were blind and did not see him as a gem.

For today's game, Seraphim is also very excited.

He is confident that he can prove himself in a direct matchup with Paul George!

Now, seeing that Wall's first attack ended in failure, in the next round, Seraphim took the initiative to come to the low post to ask for the ball.

George, who was facing him, sank behind him.

Paojiao knew that in terms of strength alone, he was no match for the insider Seraphim.

But this does not mean that the opponent can bully him in the low position.

As soon as Seraphim received Wall's pass, he felt a force coming from his waist.

It turned out that Paul George's left hand was there, secretly exerting force.

The waist is a very soft place for human beings, and it made Seraphim very uncomfortable to be touched like this.

He glanced at the referee out of the corner of his eye, and found that he didn't show anything, and couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

How does this make me hit back? !

In a fit of anger, Seraphim turned to face-up to attack, trying to knock out George's hand by turning around.

However, the moment he finished turning around...

"Snapped!"

A black hand stretched out and directly cut off the basketball in Seraphim's hand!

It's George!

After completing the steal neatly, he immediately advanced with the ball and launched a counterattack.

Seraphim was robbed face-to-face, feeling embarrassed, she immediately let go of her, and chased after George desperately.

But he is too slow!

Even if he runs without the ball, he can't keep up with Pickle's pace.

After coming to the frontcourt, George faced Wall who retreated in time.

Both of them have excellent physical fitness, but George's height still has a certain advantage.

Pickle hit Wall and successfully completed a layup.

5:0, the Rockets continue to lead!

"This back and forth and two rounds, George made Seraphim look very clumsy."

tn.t commentator - Collins said with a smile.

Offensive and defensive transition, this time Wall stood up.

He passed Jeremy Lin with a beautiful crossover and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

But turning around, Brother Hao also used the pick-and-roll of his teammates to break into the inside and successfully ended with a throw.

When Wall saw the unknown pawn in front of him, he actually wanted to compete with him, so in the next round, he played singles with the ball again.

After a forward change of direction, Wall suddenly took a step back, bounced to the outside line, and shot a three-pointer...

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

After scoring the goal, Wall smiled and shook his head at Shuhao.

It seems to be saying, you can't do it, you can't match me.

Brother Hao didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ran to the bottom line to ask for the ball.

The teammates also gave him face, and immediately passed the ball to his hands.

Jeremy Lin holds the ball and advances past half court.

Wall lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms, ready to defend.

But at the next moment, Brother Hao actually pulled out his hand two meters away from the three-point line.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed and drew a very high arc.

Wall suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, turned around, and hoped that the ball would hit iron.

However, the basketball went into the net hollow.

answerball!

"Oh my god, where did this player come from? He can compete with the No. [-] pick!"

The commentator said in shock.

"Although Jeremy Lin can't guard Wall, it also makes me very uncomfortable on the defensive end."

After hitting a three-pointer, Shuhao returned to his half very excitedly.

George stepped forward to give him a high-five to celebrate, and said softly:

"Would you like to switch defenses with me on the defensive end? I'll have a couple of moves with John."

Jeremy Lin was taken aback when he heard the words.

He actually wanted to continue to single out with Wall, but he also knew that for the team, switching defenses might be able to better limit opponents.

After hesitating for a moment, Shuhao nodded and agreed to George's proposal.

On the other hand, on the Wizards side, Wall was upset and "came to the door" again.

Just after halftime, he noticed that the defender had changed.

"Paul, even you can't guard against me."

Wall said confidently to George.

Pickled Pepper didn't respond, but lowered his center of gravity, concentrating on defense.

The next moment, Wall moved.

He wanted to use his explosive first step to directly break George's defense.

"bump!"

George took a step sideways and stood firmly in front of Wall.

Zhuangyuan Lang failed, so he had to retreat and reorganize the attack.

But George didn't give him a chance to breathe, he bullied himself and launched an oppressive defense.

After several fights, the 24-second attack time was about to run out.

In a hurry, Wall had no choice but to force his shot.

With his excellent jumping ability, he successfully completed the shot over George's head.

But with such a difficult shot, the hit rate is naturally impossible to be high.

"duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket hard and bounced out.

Tucker jumped high to take off the rebound and handed the ball to Jeremy Lin beside him.

Rocket's counterattack is back!

Jeremy Lin, who was running at high speed, attracted a lot of defensive attention from the Wizards.

But Brother Hao has never been a greedy person. He saw George on the right in the air, waved his hand, and passed the ball.

George shoots quickly after receiving the ball...

"Shu~"

Three points again!

Now, the point difference between the two teams came to 9 points, and Wizards coach Philip Saunders had no choice but to resort to a timeout.

............

Wizards bench.

The players hang their heads down, frustration almost written all over their faces.

Sanders first encouraged with words, and then arranged:

"The opponent's firepower is mainly concentrated on Jeremy Lin and Paul George on the outside. Next, we will use double-team tactics against these two!"

"The rest of the Rockets have insufficient shooting ability. If necessary, you can empty that fat man named PJ-Tucker."

All the wizards nodded upon hearing this.

Before the game, in the scouting report they got, there was only one simple sentence about Jeremy Lin's analysis - he has a certain breakthrough ability.

But judging from today's game, this yellow-skinned defender has huge energy in him, and he must not be underestimated!

And George's ability to hold the ball is much stronger than what the report said.

If you can't limit this backcourt combination, victory is out of the question!

Fortunately, the rest of the Rockets don't seem to have any offensive capabilities.

Jordan Hill still has a mid-range shot, and that pj-Tucker seems to only work on the defensive end.

"Forcing them to pass the ball to Tucker, our defense is successful."

Wall concluded.

With such a strategy, the Wizards will regain their spirits and enter the game!
