Chapter 151
Xu Tianquan acted as if nothing had happened just now, walked to the free throw line calmly, and hit the extra penalty steadily.
Cole has an old injury in his back and is sitting safely on the coach's bench.Instead, assistant coach Luke Walton walked to the sidelines and directed the players on the field to adjust their tactics.
Luke Wharton is the son of the famous Bill Wharton. He ran in the same session as LeBron James. He was a newcomer in the second round.But Walton Jr. won two consecutive championships with the Lakers in the 08-09 and 09-10 seasons. As a role player, his career is pretty perfect.
Jr. Walton has only played for two teams in his player career, namely the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers. After being cut by the Cavaliers in 13, he announced the end of his 10-year NBA career and retired to live a leisurely life.
After Cole accepted the position of head coach of the Warriors last season, he recruited Luke Walton, who had been out of work for a year, and let him serve as the chief assistant coach.Walton Jr. followed the team to win the championship last season as an assistant coach. It can be said that he is a winner in life.
The Warriors players have good personalities except for Draymond Green. When they saw Luke Wharton calling tactics, they immediately started to move according to the tactics he called.
After halftime, Curry handed the ball to Draymond Green, organized by this sudden power forward at the top of the arc, Curry and Klay Thompson, two players with BT shooting ability, are responsible for running to open up space.
The Warriors don't have to make defensive arrangements against Xu Tian, but the Lakers can't help being afraid of Curry's shooting ability.As long as Curry has a chance, the nearby players will immediately defend in place to avoid giving him an easy shot.
Draymond Green is not a well-organized power forward like Chris Webber or Pau Gasol, and his dribbling ability is not strong, so he can't get rid of Xu Tian who is defending him.
Xu Tian did not respond to Green's trash talk and foul actions in the last round, but it does not mean that he let go of the matter. The defensive end put pressure on Green and decided to teach this big-mouthed player a lesson.
It's not that Draymond Green doesn't know how good Xu Tian's stealing ability is, but he doesn't like Xu Tian from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't take this yellow-skinned boy seriously.
Pride makes people fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten!
Xu Tian saw Green's dribbling rhythm paused, stretched out his right hand to steal the ball directly from his hand, and quickly dribbled the ball towards the frontcourt.
Draymond Green is like the AE86 from Fujiwara Tofu Shop, while Xu Tian is like an expensive GTR. The straight-line acceleration ability of the two is not at the same level at all, and the insurmountable distance is instantly opened.
Xu Tian thought of the "girl chirping shot" that Green said in his mind, received the ball with anger in his heart, and ended the offense with a violent dunk.
The Chinese fans in the Oracle Arena were very excited and stood up and applauded to express their joy.After all, this is the Warriors' home court, and they dare not celebrate too ostentatiously.
Xu Tian returned to the backcourt and challenged Draymond Green, who hadn't served, "You only know how to spit shit on pussies, so if you have the ability, hit me single-handedly!"
Draymond Green had heard of Xu Tian and Dwight Howard's martial arts, and was a little afraid of this unscrupulous rookie. He secretly elbowed Xu Tian away and took the ball from Curry.
Xu Tian lowered his center of gravity and focused on defending Green, making it impossible for him to dribble.
Luke Walton stood on the sidelines, looking at Green who was blindly playing singles very puzzled, not knowing how to command this difficult player.
Xu Tian's defensive deft Curry has no advantage, but Green, who has brute force in defense and poor offensive skills, is relaxed and happy, and once again completed a single defense steal.
Such a situation made Cole unable to sit still on the Diaoyutai, and he greeted Luke Wharton who was standing, and asked him to request a timeout to the referee.
Xu Tian easily dunked to end the offense. The referee blew his whistle after the Warriors delivered the ball and executed the first timeout of the game.
The cheerleaders ran into the arena for a pre-rehearsed dance performance.
Director Zhang is very satisfied with Xu Tian's performance, and said with a smile: "The Lakers are now putting pressure on Green on the defensive end, and after successfully defending, they will play a quick counterattack. Very reasonable!"
Yang Jian said: "The Warriors must make adjustments next. They can no longer let Green dominate the ball at the top of the arc, otherwise their offense will be difficult to open."
"The Warriors' offensive method is really unreasonable. They have Curry in the lineup who can control the ball, but let Green, who is good at defense, do this. It can be said that this is a complete waste."
Cole didn't think it was a waste not to allow Curry to organize, and told Green: "Draymond, if the defensive player facing Xu, pass the ball as soon as possible, and don't stop the ball at the top of the arc. His stealing ability is too good. Qiang, it's risky to do so!"
Draymond Green is not very convinced of Cole, but his status in the team is far inferior to that of Xu Tian to the Lakers, and he dare not refute from the sidelines.
Scott prepared several sets of defensive plans for the Warriors, using Xu Tian, Kobe or George to defend Curry respectively. With these three sets of defensive plans, several sets of offensive tactics were derived.
Xu Tian listened carefully to Scott's quick explanation, quickly made a judgment, and handed over the task of defending Curry to George.
The Lakers' current best defensive players are Xu Tian and George, and Xu Tian's physical strength is not as good as George's. This difficult task naturally falls to George.
George had no problem with Xu Tian and the head coach's arrangements, and happily accepted the task of defending Curry, leaving Kobe and Xu Tian the opportunity to show off.
Just over two minutes into the game, Kobe hadn't touched the ball much except for the mistake made by Klay Thompson in the singles. He smiled and said to Xu Tian: "Xu, although I often teach you not to pass, you You should still pass the ball to me."
Xu Tian was about to talk about Kobe's problem, and replied: "Kobe, you will control the ball after you play, and George and I will play off the ball on the offensive end to help you open up space."
When Kobe heard this sentence, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, thinking that this kid Xu Tian would come to trouble!
Xu Tian didn't know what Kobe was thinking, so he briefly exchanged a few words with George beside him, and prepared to return to the court to play.
Dell Curry was also good at shooting when he was a player. During the timeout period, he diligently analyzed the game situation and put forward tactical suggestions for the two teams.
While watching the game at home, Popovich drank a few glasses of white wine and had already entered a slightly tipsy state, thinking repeatedly in his heart that it would be great if Xu Tian was on the team.After thinking about it for a while, he involuntarily called Kawhi Leonard.
"Hello!" A voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Kawhi, can you steal Draymond twice in a row?"
Kawhi Leonard's uncle answered the call, frowned when he heard Popovich's question was unclear, and replied that Leonard was not here.
Popovich drank a little too much, cursed in a low voice, and hung up the phone with a little displeasure.
