Chapter 393 Time is ruthless
Xu Tian pointed his left index finger to the sky and called out the familiar individual singles tactics, which excited the fans.
Tony Allen felt the restlessness of the fans at the scene, and couldn't help feeling inexplicably nervous. He lowered his center of gravity to a minimum, and focused on Xu Tian who was dribbling over.He learned the lesson of being scored a three-pointer for the first time. Xu Tian ran over quickly after halftime and directly defended.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball behind his back, pretended to break through to the right, successfully tricked Tony Allen, changed direction with a fancy dribble, and broke directly to the left.
Tony Allen has too much defensive experience and is used to predicting the offensive options of the opposing players in advance, so he was easily deceived by Xu Tian.Seeing that Xu Tian was about to speed up and break through, he quickly fouled from behind.
The referee immediately blew his whistle and called Tony Allen a thug foul.
David Fizdale smacked his lips helplessly and called Matt Barnes aside to replace the foul-plagued Tony Allen.
Matt Barnes is 201 centimeters tall and weighs 102 kilograms. He is about the same size as Xu Tian, but Xu Tian looks a lot more powerful because of the difference in frame.
Xu Tian knew that Matt Barnes was a villain, but he didn't take it seriously. He bent over and dribbled the ball, suddenly switched from fast to slow, and suddenly accelerated to make a fake breakthrough. He tricked Matt Barnes' defense and stepped back to shoot. .
Step on the line, two points!
This is Xu Tian's usual shot before he came to the United States, and he is still very familiar with it now.
Staples suddenly yelled MVP, adding a bit of shock to this ordinary goal.
Matt Barnes wanted to find some rubbish to say, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of what to spray, so he could only run to the frontcourt in silence and implement the established offensive tactics.
Conley knew the importance of this game, and he didn't dare to be careless. He tried his best to suppress the rhythm and avoid mistakes.Now almost all teams dare not pass the ball frequently when facing the Lakers. The reason is that they have the strongest fast-break counterattack ability in the league. Once they make a mistake, they are likely to give the Lakers two points.
Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc and continued to defend Conley.
Conley tirelessly called the pick-and-roll, and cooperated with Marc Gasol to dismantle the Lakers' defensive system.
Facing Tyson Chandler's best defense, Conley failed to find the offensive space, chose to play it safe, and hit the ground back to Marc Gasol.
Marc Gasol is 216 cm tall and has an absolute height advantage. He chose not to do any additional actions and shot directly from the spot.
Xu Tian reacted quickly, fully using his legs, and jumped up suddenly to try to block the shot, but the release point was quite high and he failed to block the shot.
Two points scored!
Scott saw that the physical strength of Tyson Chandler and Kobe was a bit too much, so he asked McGee and Nick Young to replace them and give them a chance to rest.
David Fizdale also made quick adjustments, bringing in Vince Carter and replacing Jeff Green.
Vince Carter is the best dunker in the minds of many domestic fans. He is 198 cm tall and weighs 100 kg. He was the fifth overall pick in the first round in 1998. In exchange, he went to the Raptors.
During the Raptors period, Carter and McGrady had a promising future, but McGrady wanted to have a higher tactical status and annual salary, so he left the Magic and left Carter alone in the Raptors.
At that time, Carter was one of the most popular stars in the league. Not only was he ranked among the top four shooting guards, but he was also elected as the All-Star vote leader in a row. Jordan, who was about to retire, was far less popular than him. In the 2002-03 All-Star Game, he gave up the All-Star starter to give Jordan a chance to start.
In 2004, Carter was traded to the Nets, but he failed to hit the championship.After only playing for five seasons, he was traded to the Magic by the Nets and tried again to hit the championship.
In the 2009-10 season, Carter's arrival did not help the Magic improve. After playing for one and a half seasons, he was traded again.This time his destination is the sun.
After Carter was traded to the Suns, he decided to change his jersey number from No. 15 to No. 25.This is the first time he has changed his jersey number in his career, and since then, his goal has gradually changed from chasing championships to enjoying basketball.
The good times didn't last long, Carter was waived after playing in the Suns for less than one season, and became a free agent again.Three days later, the Mavericks offered Carter a contract with a starting salary of 300 million to recruit him.It's just that the defending champion Mavericks is no longer competitive, and Carter's attempt to chase the championship still failed.
The Mavericks and Carter got together and parted ways. After the three-year contract was fulfilled, Carter became a free agent in the summer of 2014. He accepted the three-year 3 million contract offered by the Grizzlies and changed his jersey number back to No. 1200.
The former "half man, half god" and "UFO" returned to the ground, no longer the strongest dunker soaring above the basket, but a veteran who loves basketball.
Although Xu Tian likes Carter very much, no one will show affection on the court, and he is no exception. He played a pick-and-roll with George and let Carter face his defense.
Carter's incredible talent for dunking overshadowed his offensive skills, but it didn't affect the defensive end.His lateral movement speed had slowed down, and it was very difficult to restrain Xu Tian.
Xu Tian continued to change direction horizontally, hitting Carter's defensive weakness each time, and found a good shot space as he marched.Jump sideways, easily pull up and shoot.
The basketball spins and hits the net hollow!
Lakers 20-16 Grizzlies!
Conley has already applied to the head coach before the game. If there is no special reason, he wants to stay on the court as much as possible and help the team win this victory.They really want to make the playoffs and are unwilling to give up this crucial game.
Carter mentioned the top of the arc, took the initiative to cover for Conley, and forcibly blocked Xu Tian.
Conley took advantage of the opportunity to break through, attracting George's defense, hitting the ground and passing the ball to Marc Gasol in the penalty area.
McGee is responsible for defending Marc Gasol. He is not good at top defense, and his center of gravity basically did not drop. He straightened his arms and prepared to block the shot.This is the reason why he didn't play well in the previous NBA. Only in the small ball era did he have a stage to play.
Marc Gasol did not choose to go straight to the offense, and used his footwork to play McGee's defense.Swing open the basket and score easily.
Scott stood on the sidelines, arms folded, shaking his head slightly.
McGee's defensive weakness is obvious, and there is a big gap with Tyson Chandler.When it comes to the playoffs, the weakness of defensive ability is likely to be targeted by the opponent, and the playing time may drop sharply.At that time, can McGee still stabilize his mentality?
Scott didn't know the answer, he looked at Xu Tian.The Lakers can overwhelm all the players, none other than Xu Tian.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt slowly, and again picked and rolled with George, turning the defender into Carter.
Kobe sat on the sidelines, watching the old opponents who once dominated the league being targeted continuously, and lamented the ruthlessness of the years.
