Chapter 174 More Flowers
There are not many shooting postures that can be called picturesque, and Kobe is definitely one of them.The free throw line made an emergency stop, and facing the defense, Paul directly pulled the mid-range.
The posture is picturesque, the basketball did not enter the basket!
Xu Tian seized the opportunity, rushed into the penalty area and got an offensive rebound, pulled the bar to avoid Jordan's block, and made a layup in a chic way.
Little Qiaodan couldn't hold back his body, and directly collided with Xu Tian who was volleying in the sky, and got an unavoidable thug foul.
2+1!
Xu Tian's core strength is strong, and he was bumped by the strong young Jordan, only slightly lost his balance, but he was not knocked out like other small guards.
Doug Rivers stared wide-eyed, looking at Jordan with a dull expression.Not only Jordan couldn't figure out his thoughts, but even netizens who were proficient in various speculations couldn't explain the meaning of Rivers' expression.
Xu Tian's free throw is equal to sending points.
Jordan picked up the basketball that fell from the net, stepped across the baseline, and handed it to Paul.
Griffin didn't want the game to become a confrontation between Paul and Kobe. He took the initiative to ask for the ball from Paul, who was holding the ball, and wanted to organize the offense instead of him.
Paul was in a good mood tonight, passing the ball to Griffin hand-in-hand, allowing this versatile power forward to launch an offense.
Griffin is one of the few players who can stand alone, and his dribbling is also excellent among power forwards. He launched individual singles directly from the top of the arc.
George's height is about the same as Griffin's 208 cm, but after all, one is an inside player and the other is an outside player. The gap in strength is still obvious.
Griffin dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch to change direction, shaking George's center of gravity, and made a long-distance two-pointer from 18 feet.
The inside can shoot, and whoever comes can finish the game.
Tyson Chandler picked up the basketball, gave it to Xu Tian who was waiting in the backcourt, and ran towards the frontcourt slowly.
Xu Tian pressed the edge of the 8-second violation to the frontcourt and quickly passed the ball to George.
George had just been hit by Griffin, and he was in a state of depression. He couldn't help but feel inspired when he received a pass from Xu Tian.
The basketball court is the vanity fair of players. No matter what you want, you must first perform in this court, otherwise everything will be empty talk. George knows this very well.
George's offensive ability with the ball is not as good as Xu Tian and Kobe, but he has been the boss of the Pacers after all, and his inner fighting spirit is not inferior to the two, and he can launch singles with the ball.
Barkley noticed the characteristics of the field and said: "Tonight's players seem to be very excited, and the proportion of individual singles is very high."
Kenny Smith said: "The meaning of the Christmas game is to please the audience. And the most entertaining thing is precisely the singles full of skills, which will naturally increase the proportion."
The two commentators then began to talk about the history of the Christmas game, completely ignoring the offense on the field.
George is not as relaxed as the two commentators.
Griffin's wingspan is almost the same as his height, which is particularly prominent in a league with generally good wingspan, making his defensive coverage always not wide enough.But he has excellent mobility and strength, and there is not much pressure to defend George alone.
Paul saw that George was obsessed with singles, and Ghost made a steal, causing George to make a mistake.
Redick ran toward the frontcourt ahead of time, but in a short while, TJ Warren and Xu Tian had already passed him, and instantly resolved the Clippers' defensive counterattack.
Paul didn't want to waste the opportunity easily, and persistently sent the ball to Redick, wanting to complete this transition attack.
Xu Tian predicted Paul's thoughts, and with a big wave of his hand, he completed the counter-robbery.
Tyson Chandler hadn't completely retreated to the backcourt. Seeing Xu Tian's steal, he immediately turned around and ran back to the frontcourt.
Xu Tian's pass followed like a shadow, and then came to Tyson Chandler, allowing him to wreak havoc on the unguarded basket.
"Who said they were obsessed with singles?" Kenny Smith looked at the shaky basket and said, "Both Paul and Xu contributed a lot of good passes, and connected their respective teams."
Barkley didn't expect his partner to play cards out of common sense, and said with a smile, "It seems that no one has mentioned the issue of singles." Since his partner started to tease this point, he simply refused to admit it.
Paul and Griffin once again cooperated with the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc and completed an explosive alley-oop dunk in response to the Lakers' offense just now.
Both Rivers and Scott believed that today is Christmas, and the number of timeouts should be reduced, and naturally waited until the official timeout.
The Lakers still have a regular rotation, with George and Kobe taking a rest, and Xu Tian leads the team alone.
Nick Young, Clarkson and Nance Jr. were released, and Tyson Chandler, George and Bryant were replaced.
TJ Warren was in the prime of life and was left on the court together with Xu Tian.
The Clippers also made personnel adjustments, led by the famous iron man Jordan and the super sixth man Jamal Crawford to play the regular transition period.
Xu Tian received the serve, quickly threw it forward, and handed it to Nick Young who had already run to the frontcourt.
Nick Young dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, looking for loopholes in Crawford's defense.
Jamal Crawford looks young, but he is actually similar to Nick Young. They are both older players. His lateral movement has naturally declined, and he was easily pushed in by Nick Young.
Others want to play isolation, but Nick Young wants to play pass.The dribble broke through to the free throw line, and passed the ball behind his back to Xu Tian who had just run to the top of the arc.
Xu Tian didn't adjust to catch the ball, and shot an open three-pointer gracefully.
Jordan single-handedly stuck Nance Jr. and TJ Warren behind him, completely pushing them out of the basket.
The basketball spins rapidly, and white net flowers are rolled up when it enters the net.
Jordan let go of his strength and sent the ball to Jamal Crawford from the baseline.
Jamal Crawford is similar to Louis Williams. They are both strong offensive and defensive players, and it is not easy to defend.
Xu Tian lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, and focused on watching Jamal Crawford coming from the dribble, ready to go up to block the shot at any time.
Jamal Crawford is very confident in his singles and is not afraid at all. He crossed consecutively at the top of the arc, looking for Xu Tian's defensive flaws.
Xu Tian's defense was impenetrable, and there was absolutely no possibility of passing through.
Jamal Crawford simply gave up the idea of a breakthrough, jumped directly against Xu Tian's defense, and shot a three-pointer with an unusually twisted posture.
BI~
The ball scored and the whistle sounded, Jamal Crawford who fell to the ground scored 3+1!
Jordan quickly ran to the top of the arc, helped up the fallen former sixth man, and passionately spoke his inner admiration to him.
Jamal Crawford was completely unmoved, licked his lips, stood on the free throw line, and executed the additional penalty for Xu Tian's foul.
Xu Tian stood outside the three-point line, put his hands on his knees, and put the braces in his mouth between his teeth.
Jamal Crawford misses, misses the extra free throw, and the basketball bounces off the rim.
The black giant jumped with his hands high, caught the ball in the air, and completed a powerful dunk.
TJ Warren, who was grabbing a rebound, suffered a disaster, and was directly knocked out of the baseline by the flying black tower Jordan.
