Chapter 115
At [-] o'clock the next morning, Xu Tian woke up on time, and drove to the Suns' home stadium, the Meixi Arena, to practice.
The NBA schedule is intensive, players are basically in a state of high fatigue, and injuries are more frequent than other leagues. Therefore, if you want to become a historical star, your physical resistance is also a key factor.In this regard, James is simply a robot, and he has never had a major injury in his career.
The head coach of the Suns is Jeff Hornacek. He is the No.16 head coach in the history of the team.But he has a daughter named Abby Hornacek, who is also regarded as a goddess by fans.
Hornacek came to the stadium early to discuss the tactical system of tonight's game with the chief assistant coach, while waiting for the arrival of the players.
PJ Tucker and Tyson Chandler were the first Suns players to come. They quickly changed into training clothes in the locker room and went to the training ground for routine training.
Xu Tian woke up too early. When he came to the American West Arena, he found that no one from the Lakers had come, so he practiced shooting alone for an hour.At 08:30 in the morning, the Lakers players came to the stadium one after another.
Paul George was in a good mood last night, coupled with his good sleep quality, he was full of fighting spirit.When I came to the stadium, I saw Xu Tian whose training clothes were already soaked, and offered to play an intra-team match.
Although Scott can make some decisions about personnel rotation and tactical deployment, he has less say in training than Xu Tian, saying that as long as Xu Tian is willing, he will not object.
Xu Tian understood that George still had problems with the status of the team, so he nodded and agreed to play the intra-team match, and assigned the substitute lineup to his side.
Roy Hibbert and George didn't get along very well, and offered to be in the same group as Xu Tian, wanting to prove to George that he was still not behind.
George had just arrived and wasn't familiar with his teammates, so being placed in the starting team by Xu Tian didn't count as bullying him.
There were no surprises in the result of the team match. Xu Tian easily and freely connected the substitute lineup seamlessly, beating the starting lineup that had no tacit understanding at all.The result of the game once again proved to George that the Lakers are a strong team, and this strong man is Xu Tian.
The Suns did not play a confrontation game in training, but just ran some tactics and exchanged the cooperation that should be played on the defensive end.
Hornacek repeatedly emphasized the importance of perimeter defense during training, and took the risk of putting Tucker, a not-so-fast defensive player, on the perimeter and asked him to try to defend Devin Booker, who imitated Xu Tian.
Devin Booker is 198 cm tall and weighs 93 kg. He is also full of creativity on the offensive end and is most suitable to play the role of Xu Tian.
NBA teams will sign certain players to simulate the characteristics of the opponent's star during training. This model is most used by Spurs coach Popovich. He once used Battelle to simulate the Lakers' Giant O'Neal. Also used McGrady to imitate James.Now Hornacek continues to use experience to let the players in the team understand the details of defensive tactics in advance.
The Suns have a good record in the first few games of the season, and they are about to face the Lakers, who have often appeared in the news recently, and the home game tickets have been swept away by the fans.This is the first time the Suns have sold all their tickets this season.
Time passed quickly during the training and adjustment, and soon came a few hours before the start of the game. Xu Tian became the first player to come to the American West Arena, and was naturally chased by media reporters.
Xu Tian played a few games on behalf of the Lakers, but he has already broken the rookie records set by many seniors.Keen-eyed reporters sensed a storm was coming and poured so much energy into the player in the center of the media for fear of missing any sign.
After many confrontations with media reporters, Xu Tian is no longer a fledgling rookie, but he turned down the pre-match interview with great experience and entered the locker room safely.
Maples was still the first person to come to the locker room. When Xu Tian arrived, he had already organized the slightly shabby visiting team locker room, which made Xu Tian feel very comfortable.
Xu Tian quickly changed his equipment and used the time before the game to stretch to ensure his body flexibility.
Paul George is another player who has attracted the attention of media reporters, and he likes to be interviewed as a Lakers player, answering reporters' questions with a kind attitude.
The Suns received a group message from the head coach and came to the American West Arena in advance to discuss the personnel adjustment for this game.
In order to see more of the pre-match cheerleading performances, the audience in the American West Arena scrambled to enter the arena early, bought popcorn and Coke at the commodity counter, and prepared to enjoy the pleasing offensive battle.
Nick Young brought joy when he entered the locker room, which he would not dare to do in the past with Kobe in the locker room before the game.
ESPN didn't want to lag behind TNT too much, so it sent its most famous commentator, Mike Breen, to the scene for this game, and the bald Jeff Van Gundy came with him.
The pre-match performances in the American West Arena were exciting enough, and the cheerleaders' hot dance also firmly attracted the attention of the audience, but when the players from both sides entered the field, these became unimportant things.
The director at the scene naturally knew the key points of the game. First, he played a close-up of Devin Booker on the big screen above the venue, and then released Xu Tian with a calm expression.
Xu Tianjian's eyebrows are starry, and his angular face exudes full masculine charm. Although he is not handsome enough, it is very in line with Westerners' preference for macho men.Therefore, as soon as he was on the big screen, he received warm cheers from the fans at the scene.
Paul George heard the changes in the stadium, and unconsciously looked at the big screen above, and suddenly saw Xu Tian's almost flawless and confident face, and he couldn't help feeling a little admiration.
Scott was completely convinced by Xu Tian.He used to think that Xu Tian was a young man who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, but now he realized that he was really capable.
Mike Breen and his partner started to explain in advance, introducing in detail the various records set by Xu Tian, paving the way for this game that was hyped by them in advance.
Xu Tian ignored all the noise around him and devoted himself to shooting training, but for some reason, most of his shots missed.
Paul George saw Xu Tian's shots, but he knew that Xu Tian still had defense and passing, no matter how bad he was, he would make a breakthrough, and he didn't worry about the next game at all.
Clarkson recently asked Xu Tian for advice on dribbling training methods, and he has made some progress in dribbling. He ran to the inside with fancy dribbles, and tried to use the European step to complete the shot.
Booker on the other end of the court didn't want to be robbed of the limelight by Xu Tian, so he asked Bledsoe to pass the ball for him, and completed a dunk cooperation that would only appear in a slam dunk contest.
