Chapter 287 A Rare Opportunity
Isaiah Kanan was defending against Xu Tian in front of the scene, and he was careless when he divided the ball. When he came back to his senses, the ball had been passed to the backcourt by Xu Tian.
George ran to the offensive half, got the ball with his right hand and adjusted it, took off in the paint area, gliding with one hand to grab the ball and dunk to pay tribute to Dr. J who came to the scene.After landing smoothly, he pointed to the auditorium.
Julius Erving saw the familiar dunk action and knew that George was using this dunk to complete the offense, so he smiled and applauded in response.
Xu Tian stood calmly in the backcourt, waited until George returned to the backcourt, and gave him a high-five to celebrate, who seemed a little excited.
Brent Brown called Tony Roten to his side and assigned him to replace Robert Covington to weaken the targeting of Xu Tian.Although they have a chance to compete for victory, the higher goal is to find a way to get the top three picks in the summer.
Robert Covington didn't know that the coach was going to replace him. He faced George's defense at the top of the arc and made a direct shot.The ball goes out of the baseline and a substitution is executed.
Tony Roten is 198 cm tall and weighs 93 kg. He was the 12th pick in the first round of 25, but he only averaged 2.6 points and 1.2 assists per game in his first season, gradually losing favor with the team.
In 13, the 76ers traded the second-round pick from the Grizzlies to Tony Roten. He scored a triple-double against the Rockets with many fans that season and is well known to domestic fans.However, limited by the level, it is basically impossible to get a higher tactical status and more playing time.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball to face Tony Roten, switched to a post-up mode, and easily crushed to within the three-point line.
Jerami Grant was in charge of defending Nick Young, let go half a step, and was about to double-team Xu Tian.
Nick Young didn't dare to stay on the court for too long, so he quickly moved to the bottom corner and pulled Jerami Grant slightly away.
The captains of the Lakers are currently Kobe and Xu Tian.Xu Tian is stronger than Kobe, and the requirement for his teammates is to keep moving as much as possible on the court, and if he can't do it, he will reduce his playing time.With Xu Tian's right to speak in the Lakers, no one doubts whether he can do what he says.
Tony Roten usually doesn't defend high-level defenders in team matches. Facing Xu Tian, who has solid feet, he looks like an immature high school student who has just graduated from high school, and is easily shaken out of the attacking space.
Xu Tian held the ball with his left hand, supported it with his right hand, and shot the ball contrary to his usual habits.
Kobe has seen Xu Tian practice left-handed shooting, and he is not surprised that he has mastered this skill, just like he has been since entering the league.
Tony Roten stood on Xu Tian's right side, better defending right-handed shots, and there was really nothing he could do about such unconventional shots.
Swish!
17-14!
Brent Brown will not make any adjustments, nor will he change his goal, and instead start to study how to defend Xu Tian.
Tony Roten dribbled to the frontcourt, faced George and bent over to dribble, and organized his teammates to attack.
Jerami Grant ran out of space, received a pass from Tony Roten, and dribbled to break through.
Nick Yang was caught by surprise, bent over to steal, and quickly passed to Xu Tian who was standing at the top of the arc.
Xu Tian stretched his legs, got rid of the chasing Tony Roten in a second, and ran towards the front court like flying.
Wachovia Center, full of boos.This is the courtesy they gave Kobe back then, and now it is given to Xu Tian.
An unguarded basket is a natural show.
Slam Dunk!
19-14!
Embiid didn't want to watch his team be ruthlessly destroyed, but he couldn't control the rotation of the head coach, so he could only sit on the bench, rubbing his chin with his right hand and worrying.
Tony Roten gained wisdom by taking a fall. He no longer gave Jerami Grant, who had rough basic skills, a high lob, and passed it to Jahril Okafor, who was about to get inside.
Jahril Okafor is 211 centimeters tall and weighs 125 kilograms. He was the No. [-] pick in last year's draft.His college career was not bad, he played for Duke University for one year, played a good performance under the old K, and helped the team win the NCAA championship.
Jahril Okafor has complete skills on the offensive end, but his sense of position and movement on the defensive end are slow, and he basically failed to meet the expectations of the third-ranked show.Compared with Xu Tian, who was the [-]th overall pick in the same session, he is basically not the same in terms of status or playing time.
Nance Jr. has a good defensive attitude and works hard on the top defense. He was helplessly lost by Jahril Okafor and could only watch him complete the layup.
19-16!
Nance Jr.'s defensive ability is slightly higher than the league average, but at the power forward position, this defensive ability is still not enough to get much playing time.But tonight the Lakers are short of insiders, so he has to play a little longer.
Xu Tian received the serve, and the index finger, ring finger and middle finger of his left hand received the palm, reminding his teammates to speed up the offensive and defensive rhythm.Suddenly began to speed up, swept to the frontcourt like a whirlwind.
George moves through the paint, moves from strongside to weakside, and instantly distances himself from Jerami Grant.
Xu Tian looked at George, hit the ground with his left hand, and passed it to Nance who was down.
Nance Jr. was full of anger, held the ball with his right hand, supported Nerlens Noel who was defending in the penalty area with his left hand, and dunked brutally with one hand!
Nerlens Noel used defense as his selling point, but he couldn't defend every ball. His right hand didn't touch the basketball, so he was forced to serve as the background board for a wonderful dunk.
21-16!
The referee stopped the game and entered the official timeout period.
Clarkson mainly served as Xu Tian's substitute, and basically didn't play time in the first quarter, but he has a good personality, works hard, and has no complaints about this arrangement.
Scott made an adjustment to let Clarkson come on early and replace George, who played more than eight minutes.
Xu Tian will play the entire first quarter. If the rotation is still carried out as usual, Clarkson will not get too many opportunities to exercise.
Warren replaced Nance Jr. to help Xu Tian improve his offensive and defensive rhythm.
The 76ers want to exercise Jahril Okafor, put the tactical focus on him, and let him go to the Lakers' weak penalty area defense.
Tony Roten dribbled the ball across half court, set up at the top of the arc, and tried to pass the ball to Jahril Okafor in the penalty area.But this time, he underestimated Xu Tian's defensive range and was directly intercepted midway.
Xu Tian picked up the basketball, rushed to the front court quickly, and passed the ball from behind to Clarkson who followed behind.
Clarkson was not able to complete an overly explosive dunk, he dribbled and broke through with solid basic skills, wiped the board for a layup, and scored two points steadily.
Jahril Okafor just ran back to the backcourt, and then turned around and ran to the frontcourt.This kind of offensive and defensive rhythm is a test of the player's continuous running ability, and this is precisely his weakness.
The 76ers pushed the fast break was Tony Roten, who was much worse than Xu Tian in his organizational skills, and didn't seize any open opportunities at all.When the Lakers' defense is in position, he can only dribble at the top of the arc.
Jahril Okafor is facing Warren's defense around the front, and the receiving space is severely limited, but as long as Tony Roten can pass the ball, he can get an easy layup.
