Lillard didn't expect to be double-teamed, didn't react at all, and didn't even have a chance to foul.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball to promote a fast-break counterattack. Taking advantage of the Blazers' defensive foothold, he quickly passed the ball to George who was fast-moving.
George forcefully pushed away Noah Vonleh who was defending, and the referee blew the whistle and threw the ball casually.
Basketball is very familiar with style, and falls into the net bag wisely,
And one! 2+1!
George faced the audience behind the basket, clenched his fists to show his muscles, and accepted the cheers of the fans excitedly.
Scott looked at the remaining time of the second quarter, walked to the technical stage, and replaced Xu Tian with Huertas who had rested for a while.
Xu Tian accepted the dispatch, high-fived Huertas who was on the field, and returned to the bench to rest.
In the following time, Lillard suddenly opened up the second line of Ren and Du, and scored three consecutive three-pointers on the offensive end, instantly widening the point difference.
Scott called out a timeout to adjust, and replaced Xu Tian who had rested for 2 minutes, but the Blazers had already started their momentum, and in the end they still failed to recover the point difference.
At halftime, the Lakers trailed the Trail Blazers 48-65 by 17 points.
When Kobe and Xu Tian returned to the player tunnel, they were at the end, discussing how to arrange offensive and defensive tactics, in order to recover the lagging score as soon as possible in the second half.
Lillard really wanted to win the game, and after returning to the locker room, he took the initiative to participate in the discussion of the coaching staff and gave suggestions on offensive and defensive tactics.
ESPN showed aerial footage of the Staples Center at halftime.
The night scene of Los Angeles is brightly lit, and the rain against the background of the sky is like strands of silver thread. After lightly falling to the ground, it quickly splashes around.
Li Lang temporarily put down his work, sat comfortably on the recliner in the living room, squinted and watched the commercials on the TV and the promotional video of the next game.
The game between the Warriors and the Lakers has already started to warm up a few days ago. The major NBA broadcasters have attached great importance to this game and launched several completely different promotional videos.
After comparing these promotional videos, Li Lang still thinks ESPN is the best.
The halftime break was filled with crowd interaction and cheerleading, followed by the second half of the Blazers-Lakers game.
Xu Tian and Kobe kept discussing tactics during the break, but in the end they still couldn't find a perfect solution. They could only return to the essence and use simple one-on-one defense for single defense.
Lillard was a godsend tonight.The Lakers changed defenders three times and tried a variety of defensive methods, but they still failed to limit the newly promoted star player.
After the third quarter, the Lakers 69-93 the Blazers, and the difference between the two sides widened to 24 points.
According to common sense, the first half of the fourth quarter is the rotation stage, and Xu Tian or George should lead the team to play the game.But the Lakers were in jail, and Scott sent two core players to lead the team in an attempt to recover the point difference.
McCollum was no match for four hands with two fists, and was recovered by the Lakers by six points in his first appearance.
Stotts was very alert and decisively called a timeout to replace Lillard, allowing this fiery point guard to stabilize the rhythm of the game.
The rim at the Staples Center obeyed Lillard, embracing every shot he made, widening the gap the Lakers had just recovered.
Xu Tian and George's performance is not bad, but it can't be prevented that Lillard is always drinking poison to quench his thirst, and it is difficult to recover the point difference.With 5 minutes and 32 seconds left in the game, Scott called a timeout, replaced the starters, and gave up the game ahead of time that could not be recovered.
徐天全场打了26分钟，投篮10中6，罚球8中5，拿下18分8篮板7助攻的数据，结束了本场比赛的征程。
Stotts saw the Lakers raised their hands and surrendered, took the initiative to create a dead ball opportunity, and replaced the winning heroes Lillard and McCollum.
Xu Tian and George sat on the bench and watched the final period of the game in silence.
The Trail Blazers 112-90 the Lakers, the visitors from the city of tear unexpectedly won this tough battle.
Roy was in a good mood. After the game, he was still discussing the ranking of the Western Conference with Mike Breen, thinking that the Blazers had a chance to compete for the top half of the ranking.
Knowing that there will inevitably be ups and downs in the season, Xu Tian accepted the defeat calmly and walked to the player tunnel.
Most Lakers fans know that Xu Tian wears two wristbands every game and has the habit of giving them to fans. When he passed through the player tunnel, he took the initiative to ask for this valuable souvenir.
Xu Tian never gave it to adults, so he took off the bracelet on his hand and gave it to the little Lolita and the little Zhengtai on the left and right sides respectively.
The Lakers, the Bass family's main business, seized the business opportunity and raised the price of tickets on both sides of the player tunnel by $200.Even so, it can't stop the fans' enthusiasm for tickets for this position.
The Warriors game ended earlier than the Lakers, and Curry was already being interviewed by reporters at this time.
The ESPN reporter first got the chance to ask Curry a question and said, "Steph, first of all congratulations on your triple-double."
Curry was in a good mood and replied: "Thank you!"
"Steph, what do you think of the next game against the Lakers?"
Curry pondered for a while, and after thinking about how to answer, he said: "Xu and Paul's backcourt partners are very strong, and Kobe will also come back in the next game. I think that game will be very difficult, but I am confident that I can beat them. "
Thompson, sitting next to Curry, added: "The Lakers are strong, but we have Steph."
Curry was amused by this answer and couldn't help laughing.This photo quickly spread on the Internet, triggering heated discussions on various forums.
The media reporter contacted Xu Tian and conducted a brief interview with him, "Xu, Stephen Curry said in an interview that they will win the game the day after tomorrow. What do you think of his statement?"
Xu Tian knew what to say to the media, so he restrained his mind and said, "The Warriors are now number one in the league, and Stephen is in a hot state. It is true that they have a better chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation. There is nothing wrong with Stephen's words."
Reporters now know that Xu Tian is a cash cow, and they no longer lead in bad places, but ask him his views on the next game and the team's chemical reaction after Kobe's comeback.
Xu Tian said without hesitation: "I haven't considered the game against the Warriors, but judging from their strength on paper, they should be able to win."
The reporter said: "Xu, you don't have to be so humble. With you, George and Kobe, the Lakers are not necessarily weaker than the Warriors."
Xu Tian nodded without refuting or agreeing, avoided the topic, and answered the reporter's more relaxed questions.
The media reporters got the news of Kobe's upcoming comeback, and focused most of their energy on him. At this time, they surrounded him and scrambled to ask the questions they wanted to ask.
After Xu Tian finished the interview, he glanced at the grand occasion around Kobe, and he had no other thoughts except dumbfounded.After watching for a while, Xu Tian, who felt bored, left the media camera and went to meet Boss Jin and Alice.
Boss Jin and Alice had already driven the car to the main entrance of the venue, picked up Xu Tian who came out, and quickly disappeared into the night in Los Angeles.
