Chapter 34, Familiar Rhythm(1/2)
TNT commentary also talked about Zhou Hang in a timely manner.
"Phil Jackson finally couldn't help it anymore. He sent Zhou Hang to the court. In the past 7 games, Zhou Hang has played very beautiful scoring data. Almost every appearance can change the situation of the game between the two sides. Can Zhou Hang still do it tonight? Let's wait and see." Kenny Smith said.
"Zhou is so miserable. Every time he comes up, he helps the Lakers fill in the pit. Hahaha, the Zen master should have sent him earlier, so that Kobe will not be isolated on the court." Barkley said.
"If the Lakers have two towers, it will not be difficult to win the game with the Hawks, but there is no one now, so they are in trouble. Of course, the Lakers are not without advantages. Their advantage lies in the outside line. They now have two scoring points between Kobe and Zhou Hang." Smith said.
Zhou Hang is a player that commentators like to talk about now, and his popularity has been rising.
The Lakers started to rotate, but the Hawks did not. They are still in the starting lineup.
Lakers' offense.
After Zhou Hang appeared, he did not get a chance in his first round. Zhou Hang was entangled by Marvin Williams, and Kobe chose to beat Joe Johnson at a low post.
After continuous back-attacks, Kobe turned over and made a difficult backward tilt against Jo Johnson and Josh Smith's block.
One against two, one against three is the norm for Kobe's offense.
"box!"
Of course, ironwork is also the norm.
Kobe's back jump shot hit the basket, and the rebound was taken down by Horford.
The expression on Kobe's face looked a little unhappy, and his feelings were just as good today.
Eagles attack.
Mike Bibby dribbled forward.
Fisher is guarding, and Zhou Hang is guarding Marvin Williams.
Marvin Williams is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 108 kilograms. He averaged 14 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season.
Zhou Hang is shorter than Marvin Williams and thinner, which seems to be a misplaced, so Bibi directly gave the ball to Marvin Williams.
Marvin Williams is a tall shooting forward and has developed a three-point range, but lacks aggressiveness and rarely breaks through or commits fouls. Zhou Hang's way of defending him is to entangle him and not give him any space to shoot.
Zhou Hang gave Marvin Williams a lot of defensive pressure.
Marvin Williams wanted to pass Zhou Hang with a breakthrough that he was not good at.
Change direction protrusion to the right.
Zhou Hang's horizontal movement was very fast, and Marvin Williams's breakthrough was blocked.
Marvin Williams did not choose to pass the ball, but instead took a quick stop and stopped mid-range. He felt that he could finish the shot against Zhou Hang.
But Marvin Williams still underestimated Zhou Hang's defense.
Zhou Hang jumped almost at the same time as Marvin Williams, judging his offensive method correctly, and touched the basketball with his fingertips.
The trajectory of the basketball changed, and Odom at the basket got the ball himself.
"Beautiful defense!" Kobe clapped Zhou Hang.
Many people think Zhou Hang's three-pointers are eye-catching, but Kobe can see that in addition to three-pointers, Zhou Hang's defense is also excellent.
Zhou Hang's defense has always made offensive players feel uncomfortable.
Lakers attack.
Fisher did not give the ball to Kobe this time, but to Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang observed the defense.
The advantage of being on the court with Kobe is that he doesn't have to be hit.
The Hawks players' defensive attention is mainly on Kobe's side.
The Eagles use man-marking defense.
Marvin Williams also used the same tight defense to deal with Zhou Hang.
"Rookie, don't think of success in singles." Marvin Williams yelled at Zhou Hang.
"Didn't you feel happy just now?" Zhou Hang shot back.
Zhou Hang made a single gesture.
Lakers players pull the space away.
Zhou Hang first carried Marvin Williams on his shoulders, and then started dribbling after getting the space.
Zhou Hang's dribbling attributes have improved a lot compared to before, and now Zhou Hang also has strong self-confidence to hold the ball and play singles.
Marvin Williams obviously held back the anger that had just been blocked to defend Zhou Hang.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Zhou Ship's ball continuum changes direction in front!
Marvin Williams mainly defended Zhou Hang's step-back shot, and defended him a little far ahead. Zhou Hang's explosive power was not outstanding, but he also passed Marvin Williams.
Zhou Hang rushed in on the right side.
Horford's assisted defense was slower, and Zhou Hang stopped at high positions and decided to jump shot!
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!!
"Swish!!"
15 to 25.
Zhou Hang's mid-space distance is still very stable.
"I did a good job, Zhou Hang has a strong ability to seize opportunities." Barkley shouted.
"This is his style, and he can score points when he comes up," Smith said.
On the court, Horford shouted at Marvin: "Don't let him shoot, push him in."
Marvin Williams spread his hands, a little helpless. He also knew to guard against Zhou Hang's shots, but knowing that it was different from being able to defend against them.
The Eagles' Attack.
Bibi is very mature. He can see in the first round that although Ma Wen is a bit misplaced against Zhou Hang, Ma Wen cannot beat Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang's defensive steps are very fast and his awareness is great. He is not an ordinary inexperienced rookie defense, and blocking Marvin is not a coincidence.
Bibby gave the ball to Josh Smith inside.
"Let him make his three-pointer!" Zhou Hang shouted to his teammates.
Hearing Zhou Hang's words, the two inside players of the Lakers quickly retreated, and Zhou Hang now has a certain position.
When Josh Smith heard Zhou Hang's words, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
Dare to look down on me three points?
Because of a certain lead, Josh Smith did not rush in as before this time, but dribbled the ball to the three-point line and shot three-pointers with confidence.
Other insiders won't be so obsessed with the three-point line, but Josh Smith will.
Josh Smith always wants to prove that he can shoot threes.
However, Josh's three-point shooting percentage in his career was only a pitiful 28%, which made him inappropriate.
Josh Smith made a confident three-pointer!
"box!"
No accidental thunder!!
Seeing Josh play like this, Hawks coach Woodson's face collapsed instantly.
Josh Smith looked at his hands regretfully, he felt that it shouldn't be, his hands felt very good.
The basketball hit the basket and bounced high, and Zhou Hang rushed in and jumped high to collect the rebound.
Zhou Hang gave the ball to Fisher.
Zhou Hang studied Josh Smith and knew that Josh liked to do this.
He deliberately stimulated Josh.
Most players won't be fooled, but Josh will do it.
In Zhou Hang's judgment, Josh is now similar to the Iron King like Westbrook, just let it go outside the three-point line.
The effect is really good.
Fisher brought the ball through halftime, and this time Fisher gave Kobe the first.
Zhou Hang did not wait for Kobe to pass the ball, but took Marvin Williams to start running.
Zhou Hang ran back two consecutive times without leaving Ma Wen away.
Zhou Hang made a gesture, and the ski guy gave Zhou Hang an unball cover on the inside.
Zhou Hang inserted the diagonal line from the right side, and then ran to the left side with the help of cover.
