Chapter 131

Seeing that the point difference was about to expand to 20 points, Scott decisively called a timeout and made adjustments in player rotation.

Tarek Black is tall and strong. After the timeout, he will replace Nance Jr., who is not performing well on the defensive end, and will single-handedly defend the Raptors' Scola.

The team's coaching staff will pre-determine the offensive and defensive tactics of the night's game, and the focus is naturally to deploy defenses around the opponent's arrow players.Scola's outbreak was an unexpected situation, and it was difficult to adjust tactics to specifically target him. We could only use Blake, who had a better defense, to try.

Inspired by Scola's performance, Dewayne Casey put the focus on the Raptors themselves during the suspension and adjustment phase, allowing the players to do what they usually train well, and the rest have not been adjusted.

After the 100-second timeout expires, players from both sides return to the court and the game continues.

Raptors 71-52 Lakers, with 7 minutes and 26 seconds left in the third quarter.

Xu Tian received Black's sideline serve, dribbled the ball across the half court, observed his teammates' running positions at the top of the arc, and looked for suitable offensive opportunities.

The defender facing Clarkson is Lowry. It is not easy to find the offensive space. He put his hands in front of him and stood in a good position to cover for George.

George started running from the weak side, and with the help of Clarkson's cover, he got rid of DeRozan who was chasing behind him, and went to the top of the arc to receive a pass from Xu Tian.

After Xu Tian took the ball, he moved to the weak side and took away the defensive champion Carroll.

Taking advantage of the emptiness of DeRozan's defense, George bent over and dribbled through, and slammed into the penalty area forcefully.

Scola and Valanciunas are not strong in athletic ability, unable to quickly help the defense in place, and can only wait for George's impact in the penalty area.

George received the ball in two steps from the free throw line, and faced Valanciunas' defensive overlord, he bowed hard, wanting to dunk hard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Valanciunas hit George's head hard with his right hand as if to block a shot, and knocked George, who had taken off violently, to the floor.

Kobe had high hopes for George, saw him fall heavily to the floor, and stood up from the bench worriedly.

Xu Tian heard the referee's whistle and quickly ran to George's side to check his condition.

George put his right arm on his forehead and lay quietly on the ground, calming his breathing rhythm disrupted by the heavy fall.After feeling all right, he took Xu Tian and Clarkson's outstretched hands and stood up from the floor.

The referee determined that George was not injured, and went to the technical platform on the sidelines to watch the replay video to determine the penalty for Valanciunas' foul.

The big screen above the venue played the slow motion of the foul just now, causing the audience to boo and send it to Valanciunas, who is still acting as if nothing happened.

The three referees repeatedly watched the video playback several times, discussed the final penalty result, and gave Valanciunas a first-level malicious foul.

George waited until the referee's deliberation was over to get to the free-throw line and executed two free throws first.He is a player with a big heart. He stood up when the Lakers were in crisis and made two free throws steadily.

54-71!

Because Valanciunas was penalized for a malicious foul, the Lakers continued to have the right to attack the ball, and Black went to the sideline to serve.

Xu Tian received the serve, dribbled the ball laterally at the top of the arc, saw that George had a chance, and passed the ball immediately.

George leaned forward and scored 4 points in a row.

56-71!

Lowry received the serve over halftime and passed the ball to Scola on the inside, allowing the player who had performed well before to continue to attack.

Black, who was stronger than Nance Jr., stuck to Scola's body with excellent strength and didn't give the tricky power forward any room to use his feet.

Scola was afraid that he would violate the 3-second attack, and without finding space, he passed the ball to Valanciunas, who was standing on the right wing.

As soon as Valanciunas caught the ball, the Staples Center exploded.All the judges booed him, and some gave him thumbs upside down. In short, they didn't welcome this player who just committed a crime.

George was in the blind spot of Valanciunas' vision, and while he was distracted, he made a steal from behind and turned the ball into the Lakers' possession.

Xu Tian received the pass from George, took the ball directly to speed up, and launched his best fast break counterattack.

George and Clarkson quickly stepped down on Xu Tian's left and right wings, forming a three-on-two situation in the frontcourt.

DeRozan and Carroll stood on both sides of the court, as if they were the guards of the Nantian Gate, preventing the three rapidly attacking Lakers outside players from entering the inside lane.

Xu Tian quickly passed the ball to Clarkson on the left wing, forcing the Raptors' two defensemen to shift their attention to the left.

After all, Clarkson was born as a defender, and he had a good judgment on the offense. He passed the ball non-stop to George who followed up on the right.

George caught the ball and took off, and when Carroll was about to block, he gave the ball to Xu Tian in the middle.

The strength of Xu Tian's legs exploded instantly, his left arm blocked DeRozan, his right hand grabbed the ball and smashed Huashan, and he slammed into a dunk.

58-71!

Dwayne Casey didn't understand what happened to the team, and stood on the sidelines and shouted anxiously, asking Lowry to stabilize the slightly chaotic situation.

Although Lowry is not well-known, he is good at organizing the team. While dribbling the ball across the half court, he gestures to inform his teammates of the offensive tactics to be played.

Xu Tian couldn't understand the Raptors' code, but he knew very well that in the current situation, there was a high probability that DeRozan would launch an offense, and Lowry's pass quickly confirmed his guess.

DeRozan played back with the ball on the weak side and forcibly confronted George who was defending him, intending to use his personal ability to open up the team's current stalemate.

George's defensive focus was very high, leaving no space for DeRozan at all. When DeRozan turned over and took off, he reacted quickly and slapped the ball out.

The text live broadcaster used the sentence "Who dares to slash immediately, General George of Los Angeles" to describe the block with fuel and vinegar, vividly showing the game scene in front of the fans who could not watch the live video.The comments below the live broadcast detonated, and the words of General George in Los Angeles kept appearing.

Xu Tian predicted the movement route of the ball in advance, grabbed the basketball before Lowry, dribbled the ball to avoid his tactical foul attempt, and quickly killed towards the frontcourt.

George also ran towards the frontcourt, and when he ran beyond the three-point line, Xu Tian, ​​who was surrounded in the penalty area, passed the ball out.Without hesitation, he decisively made an open shot.

Hands up and down, hit a three-pointer!

61-71!

Valanciunas was a little flustered and sent the ball in confusion, but accidentally sent it to Xu Tian who hadn't retreated.

Xu Tian's dreamy footsteps under the basket swayed, and when the Raptors players surrounded him, he repeated the trick and gave the ball to George in front of the free throw line.

George made an 18-foot mid-range jumper and hit it steadily!

63-71!

The Lakers fans in the live broadcast room erupted in an instant, and they all sent out the copied Los Angeles General George, expressing their inner joy unabashedly.
