Chapter 176 Bombing the Basket
Coach Rivers knew that he had been fooled by Xu Tian, but he still didn't show anything on his face, and sat back on the bench to watch the game calmly.
"Today is Christmas, and the critical moment has not yet come. There is no need to be too impatient. Isn't Byron sitting comfortably?" Coach Rivers thought so.
Byron Scott was indeed sitting very comfortably. With Xu Tian on the court, he basically didn't need to worry too much, and he had nothing else to do.
The magician once approached Xu Tian in private and asked him about his thoughts on changing the head coach. Xu Tian replied that Scott is very suitable for the Lakers and there is no need to change the coach.Therefore, the Lakers' plan to change coaches was directly shelved.
Scott had heard the rumors released by the media, although they may not be true, but knowing that Xu Tian was protecting him, he had already let go of his worries.
The magician often said that Xu Tian was himself when he was young, and he valued this spiritual player very much. As long as Xu Tian really said that, his coaching position would be stable.
Kobe and George have often been inseparable on the training ground recently. One side preached and taught, while the other humbly asked for advice, which made George improve on the offensive end.The two looked at the offense and defense on the field, while analyzing in a low voice.
Alice and Boss Kim's season ticket location has changed and has been moved to grandstand seats dedicated to players' families.The cause of this incident came from two days ago.
After the Lakers defeated the Pistons at home, TMZ released a lace news article. In the article, Kobe's wife Vanessa and Xu Tian's girlfriend Alice were posted. Starting from the girlfriend's position in the stands, Xu Tian's attitude towards relationships was specially approved.
NBA players have always been flirtatious, such things are not surprising, but because Xu Tian is of yellow race, and the black spots have been decreasing recently, the media couldn't help but slander him.
Xu Tian didn't care about this news, but Jenny Buss valued the team atmosphere very much. After reading this report, she took the initiative to contact the owner of the Lakers season ticket and bought the ticket from him at a high price. Presented to Xu Tian.The Lakers are the most important property of the Bass family, and she doesn't want to chill the future top card.
Tonight, Boss Jin and Alice are sitting on the seat of the season ticket presented by Jenny Bass.
The rumors will never end, but Alice and Boss Jin's watching experience has actually improved.
Little Rivers dribbled the ball across the half court, facing Clarkson's hard-working defense, unable to find easy offensive opportunities, and passed the ball to Jamal Crawford on the right.
Xu Tian quickly lowered his center of gravity, his movements were connected smoothly, and the sloppiness just now was gone.
"Your physical strength is fine!" Jamal Crawford held the ball in both hands and couldn't help but say something.
"Of course!"
Jamal Crawford seized the moment Xu Tian spoke, dribbled the ball sharply, and directly flashed out of the shooting space.
Silky smooth, three-point shooting!
With the help of the Angel Wings sneakers, Xu Tian bounced faster than usual, and hit the basketball that just flew out with his right hand.
Both Nance Jr. and Jordan Jr. were watching the basketball, ready to compete for the rebound this time.
Little Jordan is tall and long with long arms and fast bounce. He jumped up and got the basketball without waiting for Nance Jr. to react.
Xu Tian quickly ran to Little Jordan, taking advantage of his lack of concentration, he dropped the ball in his hand with a knife.
Nance Jr. had already noticed Xu Tian's movements, and quickly picked up the free-moving ball to make up for the defensive rebound he just missed.
The ball is converted, and the fast break counterattacks.
Xu Tian kept receiving the ball and quickly distributed it to Clarkson in the frontcourt, allowing this active defender to end the attack.
Clarkson received the ball without adjusting, took a step directly, and made a three-step layup.
All defenders have a nightmare, that is, nailing the big hat.
Jordan shot out from behind, with his right hand fully charged, he vigorously slapped the rising ball on the backboard.
boom!
The basketball is full of elasticity and gallops towards the midfield.
Xu Tian was in front of the basketball, grabbed an offensive rebound with his left hand, and took advantage of the opportunity to break through the penalty area.
Little Jordan didn't care about Xu Tian at all, turned around and bent his knees, ready to take off and block shots at any time.
Xu Tian didn't intend to confront Jordan head-on, he stopped in the middle distance and pulled up, wanting to shoot.What he saw next made him change his mind.
Little Jordan took a big step, and the two-step defense was in place.As long as Xu Tian makes a shot, he can block the shot.
Xu Tiantian stabilized his center of gravity and passed the ball straight to the basket before it hit the ground.
Nance Jr. was waiting to grab a rebound, but he didn't expect Xu Tian to pass the ball, but he missed it inadvertently, causing the ball to fly out of the baseline.
When Xu Tian retreated to the defense, he looked at Jordan who was running with his head buried in his head, and found that the physical fitness of this big center was really terrifying, which made him unconsciously more vigilant in his heart.
Little Jordan knew that Xu Tian hadn't been blocked so far, and felt a little sorry for Xu Tian's refusal to shoot just now, but he still ran to the basket and stood in the penalty area like an iron king.
Nance Jr. was at a disadvantage in height and strength, and used a relatively unseemly defense around the front to jam Jordan behind him.
Jamal Crawford still has a bit of passing skills, Crossover breaks in and hangs the ball directly above the basket.
Little Jordan took off on the spot, with Nance Jr. who was in charge of defense hanging on his body, and the overlord successfully dunked with a tripod.
Griffin and Paul got up from the bench again and celebrated their teammates wantonly.On the other hand, the Lakers bench was relatively silent, and basically no one responded.
Xu Tian received the serve from TJ Warren, walked slowly through the half court, and called Nance Jr. for a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.
Nance Jr. came to the top of the arc, and Jordan Jr. also came.
Jordan and Rivers, who was in charge of defending Xu Tian, switched defenses and followed Xu Tian without lowering his focus to prevent him from taking a three-pointer.
Xu Tian didn't think about shooting the ball at all, nor did he think about using fake moves. He dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and started to speed up, and ran towards the basket with Jordan, who was in charge of defense.
The Lakers bench players often play with Xu Tian and know what his purpose is.But their reactions were far less fast than the two who were as fast as meteors.
Xu Tian and Jordan collided in the air.Xu Tian was always an outside player, so he was hit and flew out.
The referee blew his whistle and called Jordan a thug foul.
The players on the Lakers bench saw the basketball fall from the basket, bounced off the bench quickly, and celebrated in a more passionate way than the Clippers bench.
Most of the fans at Staples Center didn't see what was happening, they all focused their eyes on the big screen above the arena, watching the slow-motion replay of the ball just now.
Xu Tian and Jordan Jr. took off at the same time, Jordan Jr. stretched out his right hand to block the shot, and Xu Tian dunked with his left hand straight in the air.
Jordan's hand touched the ball, but he failed to block the dunk, and was dunked by Xu Tian.
After the fans at the Staples Center saw what happened, they immediately cheered half a beat later to cheer for Xu Tian, who responded strongly to Jordan.
