Chapter 134 Dipping is an art
Xu Tian bent over to dribble, and used his skillful dribbling skills to flexibly change his rhythm, making it difficult for Carol who was defending him.
Carol defended Xu Tian throughout the game. Although he achieved good results, his physical strength was exhausted, causing his feet to feel weak, and it was difficult for him to keep up with Xu Tian, who was flexible and changing rhythm.
DeRozan and Lowry were duty-bound, and they both came to Xu Tian and blocked his breakthrough route.
What kind of attack is the easiest?Jump shot!
What kind of jump shot is the most difficult to defend?Fadeback jumper!
Xu Tian took a freehand fadeaway jumper, and under the watchful eyes of DeRozan and Lowry, he threw the ball out of habit.
The rhythm is perfect, and it hits the soul!
Lakers 109-106 Raptors, time 2 minute 42 seconds!
Lowry dribbled the ball across the half court, dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and directed his teammates to run.
Knowing that Hibbert was moving slowly, Valanciunas came to the top of the arc to cover and blocked Xu Tian who was defending Lowry.
Xu Tian knew that Valanciunas's screen was a mobile screen, but the referee turned a blind eye to this situation, and he had nothing to do.
Lowry took advantage of the short-lived vacancy and made a 23-foot frontal three-pointer!
clang!
Scola rushed into the penalty area from an unexpected place. Before Hibbert could react, he tapped his right hand under the basketball and returned the ball to the basket.
108-109, the Lakers lead by 1 points!
Clarkson received Hibbert's serve, quickly advanced across the half court, and handed the ball to Xu Tian who was running without the ball.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball and collided passionately with the tall and strong Carroll in front of him. With a bang, Carroll bounced and flew out.
Listening to the sound of the whistle, Xu Tian helplessly raised his right hand to receive an offensive foul.
There are many discerning fans at the scene, who are very clear about what happened just now, and booed the referee who gave the penalty.
Carol's athletic ability is not as good as Xu Tian's, but his strength is not inferior. The reason why he can fly at the touch of a touch is entirely because he used a stunt that has been widely spread in the world - flopping!
Dipping does not only exist on the basketball court, but it is also very common on the football field. Generally, it is used by players when they want to win favorable penalties.In recent years, the NBA has explicitly banned this kind of behavior, but some players will still use this technology.
At first Xu Tian thought he had internal strength, but later he realized that it was Carol's superb acting skills.
Carol has a vested interest, so naturally he would not say anything, and silently ran to the frontcourt to attack.
Seeing that the referee did not prohibit such an obvious diving, Scola couldn't help thinking about it, so much so that he was thinking about it even when serving.
Lowry received the backcourt sideline ball, dribbled the ball slowly across half court, and continued to play positional battles with the Lakers.
Dwayne Casey crossed his arms, nervously watching the offense on the court.
Lowry was not in a hurry, and passed the ball to DeRozan when there were 13 seconds left in the attack time, and continued to be dominated by the team's leading star.
DeRozan bent over to dribble, facing the tall and strong George, he didn't hesitate at all, and took the initiative to play back singles.
Xu Tian knew that a three-pointer would be more deadly than a two-pointer at this stage, and Lowry, who had never dared to leave the perimeter, could only let George play single defense again.
The time has entered the last 2 minutes. The referee relaxed the scale of physical confrontation and did not punish George for excessive physical contact.
DeRozan was very uncomfortable being defended by George. He couldn't find the offensive space at all, so he could only return the ball to Lowry at the top of the arc.
The defender Lowry faced was Xu Tian, who was also not easy, but there was not much time left in the attack, so he had to reluctantly take a shot.
Xu Tian defended well, he just missed blocking the basketball.
Miracles happen here!
111-109, the Raptors overtook the score!
Xu Tian's expression was calm, but he still felt sorry for not defending the ball, and shook his head slightly.
Kobe caught Xu Tian's movement, stood up and came to the coach's bench, and called a timeout to the referee.
It stands to reason that the timeout should be called by the coach or the players on the field, but who made him Kobe?
Not wanting to offend Bryant at the Staples Center, the referees enforced the Lakers' request for a timeout.
Kobe took the tactical board from Madsen, called the players on the field and Nick Young to his side, and said straight to the point: "Nick, after the timeout is over, you will replace Roy. First find a way to complete the offense."
Although Nick Young never passed the ball to Kobe on the court, he respected Kobe very much and nodded to express his acceptance of Kobe's tactical arrangement.
After Kobe explained to Nick Young, he turned to Xu Tian and said, "Xu, you have to shoot more decisively! They only use DeMarre to defend you, which is basically equivalent to an open spot. There is no need to look forward and backward, understand?"
Xu Tian has an aloof personality and doesn't really like to be judged by others, but he can still listen to Kobe's words, and said: "No problem, I will try to attack!"
George saw Carroll's flop, covered his mouth and said, "Xu, try not to break through, otherwise you will suffer a lot from the referee's standards."
Xu Tian knew that he would be fined by the league for making unreasonable comments on referees, so he was not surprised by George's actions. He said, "No problem! I will try my best to use the shot to win the game. If there is no chance, I will pass it to you or Nick."
"Don't pass the ball!" Kobe immediately retorted when he heard Xu Tian's words, "Xu, you are the strongest player in the Lakers now, and it's only natural to make key shots. Don't pass this responsibility on to others!"
Xu Tian knew that Kobe's basketball philosophy was different from his own, and it was not easy to refute directly, so he could only answer with OK.
Dwayne Casey doesn't know what adjustments the Lakers will make, or focus on themselves, emphasizing the importance of defense and rebounding.
Lowry and DeRozan whispered, exchanging ideas about the tactics they wanted to play next.
For the audience at the scene, the 100-second pause is used to watch the cheerleaders perform, so it is not difficult to bear, and it is over before even having fun.
Players from both sides stepped back to the court to continue the final stage of offense and defense.
Xu Tian received the serve from the sideline and dribbled the ball past halftime.
Dwayne Casey was really taken aback when he saw the Lakers send five small lineups, but he can't make tactical arrangements now, so he can only watch the players' on-the-spot reactions calmly.
Xiao Nance was eager to make a contribution, and came to the top of the arc to cover, and helped Xu Tian block Carol with a similar action to Valanciunas.
Taking advantage of the space created by the cover, Xu Tian leaped high without hesitation from beyond the three-point line and shot directly!
BI!
Carroll bumped into Nance Jr., fell to the ground with superb acting skills, successfully won the sympathy of the referee, and gained the protection of the cover foul.
Dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, Scott got up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines. He spoke fiercely to the referee that Carroll was flopping, and the Lakers should not be punished for an offensive foul at all!
The referee was worried that he would not have a chance to control the field, so he gave Scott a technical foul like a donkey. Not only did he miss Xu Tian's three-pointer, but he also gave the Raptors a free throw.
