The Los Angeles defense took the lead and scored the first points of the night.
2 to 0.
"Bastard thing, this damn Oriental is still so annoying!" Marcus Landry spat and cursed.
"It doesn't matter. The last time we lost, it was because we underestimated the enemy. We won't do it this time." "Imitation King" Brandon Ramstrong said with a nonchalant expression.
"Brandon is right. Our Reno Bighorns were the top team in the Western Conference last year. What should we worry about when we deal with a defender who has been a bad team for ten thousand years? We were just careless last time. We must recover tonight.
Come on!" SF Allen Brown of Reno Bighorn Sheep also echoed.
"Well, what you said makes sense. What are mere defenders? We must give them some color tonight!" Marcus Landry nodded.
Switching sides to attack, the PG of the Reno Bighorns saw that his defender was far away, so he made an immediate decision and shot directly from outside the three-point line. The basketball drew an arc that was not pretty, but still fell into the trap.
into the defender's basket.
Brush~
Scored a three-pointer.
"Nice shot, Gail!"
After seeing the three-point goal, the Bighorn Sheep players all gave Gale Jones "likes".
"Shit~ I didn't expect him to dare to play this trick. He was so careless!" Manny Harris, who was guarding Gayle Jones, cursed in a low voice with some annoyance.
"It's okay, Manny. He can't throw a few balls like that in a game. As long as he misses, the rebound will definitely belong to our defender." Tang Qian said in a calm voice.
"Haha, that's true. With you here, I can rest assured about rebounding."
Turning around to attack, in this positional battle, the opponent's PF came close to Tang Qian from the beginning.
There is nothing that can be done about this. The Bighorn Sheep's starting center Abigail Francis was almost completely at a disadvantage against Tang Qian last time, so at the beginning of this game, Marcus Landry took the initiative to switch defenses.
come over.
"Orientals, I will repay you twice as much tonight for your last failure!"
"You still like to talk nonsense." Tang Qian said.
"Slopehead! Just wait! I will completely ban you tonight! You will go home to find your mother then!"
"Really?" Tang Qian chuckled softly, then stuck his position and opened his hand to reach the fairway: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start now."
"Look, it's me or you who goes home to mom in the end."
"Nonsense! Do you need to say this? You are so skinny... huh? Don't even think about it!"
Marcus Landry was still in the BB room, Tang Qian received the pass and prepared for a single.
"Come on, Landry, let me show you the results of my progress." After saying that, Tang Qian swayed slightly, but Marcus Landry didn't eat, and Tang Qian didn't care, and then raised his hands slightly
, another slight fake shake, defender Marcus Landry saw it and was surprised.
How did this Eastern boy's offensive moves become so... so smooth?
They are almost completely different from the last time we met!
Marcus Landry himself is also a basketball master. He also plays in the post position, so he knows very well how much time and energy it will take to improve the quality of an inside move. And with two simple moves, Ma
Cus Landry saw the clues, and he was surprised: Could it be that for more than a week, this kid, in addition to practicing football, was still practicing football? Could it be that he didn't sleep or rest?
Otherwise, how could it be possible to improve the offensive actions so much?
Of course Tang Qian didn't know what Marcus Landry was thinking at the moment. After he finished the two actions above, he tilted his body slightly and hit the latter twice with his back. Then he made a mistake with his pivot foot, and the entire
The man then turned and rushed toward the Reno Bighorn Sheep basket.
This move, this hand, did Marcus Landry ever know him before?
Isn't this the same attack that I easily defended against in the last game?
Although the appearance is almost the same, on the inside, there has been a qualitative change.
Marcus Landry subconsciously wanted to move laterally to cause Tang Qian to commit an offensive foul, but before he could move laterally, a huge force overturned him.
With a "bang" sound, Tang Qian dunked into the basket with one hand.
Beep beep~
"Blocking foul, goal count, plus one penalty goal!"
The referee's voice gave Marcus Landry a sharp blow as he fell to the ground. This time, he not only failed in defense, but also received a personal foul.
This kind of scene was more embarrassing for him than Tang Qian scoring a direct goal!
Bang~
Tang Qian did not make a free throw, but the Defenders' power forward Gamario Moon got the rebound. He took advantage of the chaos and quickly shot the basketball into the net. The Defenders added two more points.
6 to 3.
"Damn, how come his movements have become so smooth? Shit!" Marcus Landry couldn't help but said.
"It seems that this Asian kid has been practicing very diligently during this period. The offensive moves just now were indeed quite good."
"Brandon! How can you help that kid???" Hearing Brandon Ramstrong's words, Marcus Landry suddenly became unwilling. He thought to himself, you are my teammate, why are you still helping?
What about the opposing players talking?
"Haha, why are you so anxious? Marcus. What's wrong with having a stronger opponent? They can't beat us anyway, right?" Brandon Ramstrong said with a relaxed smile.
"That's true." Marcus Landry was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "But I must teach this Oriental boy a lesson!"
"It's no big deal." Brandon Ramstrong said, "Just wait for my pass."
"Brandon, with your words, I feel relieved." Marcus Landry said.
Just after halftime of the Reno Bighorn offensive round, "Copycat King" Ramstrong asked Gale Jones for a basketball. Defenders' shooting guard Kareem Rush saw Ramstrong holding the ball.
After the ball, he immediately followed him closely. Looking at his slightly nervous defensive attitude, you knew that this Ramstrong was quite famous in the NBDL league.
"Hey, brother, do you think you can guard against me?" Looking at Karim Rush in front of him, Ramstra smiled slightly.
Of course, his smile was mocking.
"Don't try to interfere with me." Karim Rush said with a little lack of confidence.
"nonono~ I don't need to disturb you." Brandon Ramstrong said.
"Why, why?"
"Because it's useless against you."
With a cool crossover, Brandon Ramstrong broke through Karim's defense. Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Qian moved a small inch, as long as the "Copycat Emperor" dared to directly invade the defender's inside line.
, then Tang Qian will definitely give him an "impressive" gift.
However, the "Imitation Emperor" was not that stupid. After seeing Tang Qian's posture, he waved his hand and quickly distributed the orange basketball. The destination of his pass was behind Tang Qian.
Oops, oops!
When Tang Qian turned around, Marcus Landry had already taken off the ball, and the basketball accurately fell into the Defenders' basket.
6 to 5.
"Hey, big man, your reaction is too slow, isn't it?" After scoring the goal, "The Imitation Emperor" spread his hands towards Tang Qian.
Damn it, I didn’t expect that as a SG, he would have such a good sense of passing the ball!
"Boy Dongfang, have you seen this? Do you think you can guard against me?" Marcus Landry also said in a good mood.
"Don't worry, I will go to your head right away and get another ball." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he received the pass again. This time he did not choose to play from behind. Instead, he stretched his legs like a forward.
He took a step, then stood up and made a big hook. Marcus Landry took off and wanted to block the shot, but he was too late.
Brush~
The basketball hits the net and the Defenders score two points.
8 to 5.
How did this damn orientalist become so fast with his hook? Could he have practiced so many technical moves in just over a week???
Marcus Landry wanted to scold him, because the offensive strength of Tang Qian in front of him was very different from that of Tang Qian last time. He could block Tang Qian last time, but he wanted to block Tang Qian in front of him in the same way.
Hidden, Landry is almost at the end of his rope.
Brush~
Brush~
Brush~
Brush~
At the end of the first quarter, the Defenders led the Bighorns by 35 to 31, temporarily leading by 4 points.
In the first quarter, Tang Qian scored 8 points, and without exception, they were all scored under the defense of Marcus Landry.
"TMD! Why did this Eastern kid suddenly become so powerful! Did he go to see James Naismith? Damn it!" Marcus Landry lost his temper as soon as the game started.
"Marcus, don't worry, you have already taken good defense..." Abigail Francis originally wanted to comfort Marcus Landry, but unexpectedly, he hadn't finished speaking yet.
The latter grabbed him and said, "Did I defend well enough? I defended well enough and yet I got eight points from that Dongfang guy??? What do you mean, I'm going to get three points from the opponent in the fourth quarter of the game?"
Is twelve right???”
"Marcus, that's not what I meant..."
"Abigail Francis, you have to know that I am helping to defend you. Who can show you this 'compassionate' look? You have time to comfort me, why not concentrate on the court and come over to block it together?"
Damn that oriental boy!!!"
"Marcus, don't be angry. Isn't the game over yet? And I looked at your data. 10 points and 5 rebounds are not bad at all."
"But Brandon, I got 8 points from that kid, where do you want me to put my face???"
"Forget it, Marcus, can't you see? His strength is not bad to begin with. The last time he was just a little weak in offense, maybe he just didn't feel good offensively that night. You don't need to be like this at all.
Care."
"How can he be as good as you said? He..."
"Okay, you know best in your heart, Marcus, don't worry too much about fighting with him, otherwise I won't be able to bear it if you lose again tonight."
Beep~
At the beginning of the second quarter, Reno Bighorn Sheep served and attacked from the bottom line. Perhaps the words of "Imitating the Emperor" just now had an effect. Marcus Landry, who had been fighting with Tang Qian in the first quarter, suddenly changed his temper and began to run actively.
position, and actively started a pick-and-roll.
In an instant, the smoothness of the Reno Bighorn Sheep's offense improved by more than three points.
After halftime, the Reno Bighorns actually overtook the score, leading the Los Angeles Defenders by 5 points, 65-60.
"NND, these shorthorn sheep are really sharp in attack. I have tried my best to defend, but I still got smashed! It's really annoying!" SG of the Los Angeles Defenders returned to the locker room and immediately vented his anger loudly.
road.
"I can't blame you. Brandon Ramstrong's personal skills are really impeccable in the NBDL. If he hadn't been too short, he might have entered the NBA long ago."
"Bah! His 'Frankenstein' methods are all fake. Even if he grows taller, he is still at the level of an NBA water cooler!!!" He was played by Brandon Ramstrong in the first half.
The miserable Karim Rush was obviously a little angry.
"The level of the NBA water cooler is higher than ours. Kareem, don't be dissatisfied. We don't mean to blame you. If you feel guilty, just shoot a few more three-pointers in the second half.
"
"Hey, I know, I know, I'm just saying, I still recognize Brandon Ramstrong's strength."
"What should we do in the second half? Should we continue the way we played in the first half?" Manny Harris asked.
"Well, that's all we can do for the time being. The overall strength of the Renault Bighorn Sheep is indeed not simple." Tang Qian thought for a while and said.
"Yes, they are a strong team in the Western Region almost every year. Our defenders have only been rising for a long time. They can only survive for half a month. It is already good to be able to fight like this."
"Ha? Karim, what nonsense are you talking about? You are trying to embolden your enemy and destroy your own prestige!" Manny Harris "teased" Karim Rush.
"I, how can I, Manny, please don't slander me, I was born as a defender, and I die as a defender!"
"Put it down, is it possible that if an NBA team calls you, you will refuse to go?"
"Well……"
Karim was speechless, and Manny Harris' words left him speechless.
However, it can be seen that even if they fall behind at half-time, the morale of the defenders is still very good. At least they are not like before. Once they fall behind, they give up and start fighting.
The entire third quarter was still calm, 91 to 85, and the Reno Bighorn Sheep still led by 6 points.
It wasn't until Tang Qian reappeared around eight minutes into the fourth quarter that the turning point of tonight's game began to gradually emerge.
99 to 91, a score difference of 8 points. If they want to win, the defender must catch up with this score difference first.
How to pursue it?
Tang Qian has already thought of a way.
Give it a shot but don't give it a try.
This is actually a dangerous move, because most of the offense of the Reno Bighorn Sheep is breakthrough. If we let this go, the impact on the inside players will be too great. The Defenders' PF plus Mario Moon
, he is just an "old football ruffian" who does not work hard. When attacking, if you let him contribute, there is no problem. But as soon as he switches to the defensive direction, he instantly becomes a "human cash machine". Basically, whoever attacks him
Whoever has it is the master. Therefore, in this way, if he allows sudden shots but not shots, Tang Qian's defensive pressure will increase exponentially.
But it doesn't matter. Because he had good control before, he only committed one foul. Now that he is free to defend, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Manny, Kareem, Andre, you three have one more attack from the outside. Don't be afraid of touch, don't be afraid of missing shots. Now the game has entered the fourth quarter. If you want to make a comeback, I can only look to you."
We have more offensive firepower." Tang Qian said to the defender's three outside players.
"Let's let the attack go. That's no problem. It's just hot. What should you do? Do you want to reduce the number of attacks?"
"Well, that's right." Tang Qian nodded affirmatively and said, "I only have two goals for the remaining eight minutes. One is defense and the other is rebounding. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Don't worry, the three of us are quite good at fighting alone and making crazy moves!" Hearing that Tang Qian was willing to sacrifice his own attack rounds, the three of them were slightly moved, and hurriedly clapped their chests and assured loudly.
"Well, come on." Tang Qian nodded.
Due to the defender's own reasons on the outside, it is almost impossible to defend the "imitating emperor" Ramstrong who is "proficient" in various breakthrough moves. Therefore, Tang Qian can only take a risk and adopt the strategy of using sudden attacks but not throwing.
Strategies to curb the crazy breakthrough of the Reno Bighorn Sheep.
If you want to overtake, you must first defend well, because only by defending can you have the possibility of scoring goals.
"Hey, brother, why are you still so close to me? Don't you know that the closer you are, the easier it is for someone to break through?" Seeing Karim Rush's attitude as soon as he came up, he said, "Imitate it."
"Emperor" said with some helplessness.
"Stop being so wordy, you can get through it if you want!" After discussing the tactics below, Karim also lost a lot of his psychological baggage.
"Ho? Are you quite fierce? Well, I will do as you wish. Goodbye!" Brandon Ramstrong made a drastic change of direction, kicked off his right foot, and instantly became powerful.
The force broke through Karim's defense.
With this level of defense, you still dare to confront me? It’s really funny!
Brandon Ramstrong went all the way to the basket, and just as Tang Qian expected, the Defenders' PF, Mario Moon, just stretched out his hand symbolically, not even bothering to raise his feet.
For a moment, I just watched my opponent "go straight to Huanglong"!
This old football ruffian will have to replace Travis sooner or later!
"Don't even think about making a layup!" Tang Qian, as the last line of defense inside, saw Brandon Ramstrong's figure and immediately moved a step, trying to rush over to cover the defense.
Humph, big man from the East, come here quickly. When you come here, I can pass the ball!
Brandon Ramstrong made a fake shot, shook Tang Qian, pushed with his left hand, and passed the basketball vertically.
really.
But you were fooled.
Just when Marcus Landry wanted to be cool and show off a violent dunk that "cracked the Huashan", a unique yellow palm appeared silently between the former and the basket.
Like a jam.
What?
Pa~
Marcus Landry didn't react in time and took a big hit from Tang Qian. Then Andre Ingram, who was well prepared, flew down quickly and received the pass from Manny Harris.
Buckle into the net with one hand.
93 to 99.
How did he come over to block the ball just now?
Just when Marcus Landry was still a little dizzy, Brandon Ramstrong came over and explained: "Sorry, Marcus, I was deceived by that Eastern boy."
"Cheated? What do you mean?" Marcus Landry asked.
"He just took off on purpose just to lure me to pass the ball. I didn't see the problem, so I'm sorry Marcus." Brandon Ramstrong said a little embarrassedly.
"So, so that's what happened? He jumped a little on purpose just so he could land quickly so he could rush over and block himself?"
"Damn it, this hateful Eastern boy is such a treacherous person!" Marcus Landry said angrily.
