Chapter 192 Arrival Early
There was no sound at the North Shore Garden Arena.
Bryant reached out to high-five Josh, who ran to his side, to celebrate his first sports goal in his Lakers career.That's right, Josh didn't score any sports goals in the first two games.
Coach Stevens decisively called a timeout again, and continued to adjust the offensive and defensive tactics on the field.
Xu Tian played with the braces with his tongue, silently watching Scott deploy tactics.
Kobe and George were very familiar with Xu Tian. They glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning of asking in each other's eyes.
Xu Tian's expressionless face represented his undivided attention, and his expression usually appeared at the last moment.It was indeed an abnormal phenomenon that it appeared so early today, and it successfully attracted the attention of Kobe and George.
Kobe asked in a low voice: "Xu, are you planning to start with strength?"
Xu Tian adjusted the position of the braces, and said, "Try to win at the beginning."
A smile appeared on Kobe's face, but he didn't say anything else.
The Lakers now have such strength, it is not a fantasy at all.
The timeout expired, and the stocky Marcus Smart replaced Thomas Jr. and drove the ball across the half.
Xu Tianjiao defended Smart, the director of the steel factory, and felt a lot less pressure.
Smart feels very differently.He knew that Xu Tian's defense was very aggressive, but he didn't expect that he could even disrupt the rhythm of dribbling, so he hurriedly handed the ball to Evan Turner before he was intercepted.
The defensive player Evan Turner faced was Paul George. The offensive resistance was unimaginable, and he was even more unable to complete singles with the ball, so he had to pass the ball to the short power forward Amir Johnson.
Amir Johnson held the ball and rushed to the inside, faced the defensive Josh with a hard layup, and got a chance to stand on the free throw line.
Amir Johnson made two free throws to break the Celtics' scoring drought.
The fans at the North Shore Garden Arena have been suppressed for a long time, and they applauded generously even for free throws that are not ornamental.
Xu Tian took the ball across the half court, quickly handed the ball to Kobe on the left, and took Smart to run towards the penalty area.
Smart didn't expect Xu Tian to take the initiative to attack without the ball, so he could only keep up with his heavy body to avoid being played easily.
Xu Tian's offensive containment force is strong enough. Just running from the top of the arc to the penalty area changed the defensive positions of the three Celtics players.
Avery Bradley was responsible for defending Kobe, which was much easier than the previous two rounds, lowering the center of gravity to defend.
Kobe saw Xu Tian who was going down, and passed the ball with his back.
Xu Tian catches the ball without stopping, and passes the ball behind his back to George on the left wing.
George dribbled the ball to the inside, attracting Amir Johnson's defensive attention, and passed the ball to Josh inside.
Josh is also a somewhat versatile power forward, pulling the defense of Tyler Zeller and passing the ball straight to Tyson Chandler who is standing under the basket.
Tyson Chandler took off with the ball and hung the basket with both hands!
10-2!
Marcus Smart received the serve and dribbled the ball across half court.
Xu Tian took a step back at the top of the arc, leaving enough space for Smart to shoot a three-pointer.
Smart hesitated whether to shoot a three-pointer, and inadvertently stopped the ball. When he reacted, Xu Tian's right hand was already on the ball.
Both Smart and Xu Tian held the ball with both hands, neither of them willing to relax.
The referee blows the whistle and the two scramble for the ball!
Xu Tian had the advantage of height and agility, successfully won the ball, and gave the racket to George behind him.
Since George followed Xu Tian's dribbling training method, his dribbling ability has made great progress, enough to serve as a temporary point guard.
Xu Tian ran without the ball on the left side, covered by Josh in the penalty area, and slid to the bottom line on the right corner.
George's pass arrived just in time.
Smart had no time to chase and defend, so he could only raise his right hand symbolically, and rushed towards Xu Tian without hesitation.
The basketball spins and slowly falls into the hoop.
13-2!
Smart deliberately increased his strength, pretending that he couldn't hold his center of gravity, and fell on Xu Tian who hadn't landed yet.
The referee blew his whistle and called Smart a foul.
Three points are valid, and there are additional penalties.
When Smart got up, he deliberately pressed Xu Tian's calf, but was pushed from behind by Xu Tian, and immediately flew far away exaggeratedly.
The referee blew the whistle continuously and quickly pulled away the dense crowd to prevent the situation from developing into a vicious incident.
The three referees could not unify their opinions and decided to watch the replay of the series of actions just now to determine what penalty to give.
The replay center calls out the slow motion for the referee to watch.
The large screen above the venue is also replaying the footage just now, so that the audience can see more clearly who is the instigator.
There are a large number of Lakers fans. Seeing that Smart deliberately pressed Xu Tian's calf and ankle, they immediately rushed to the forums related to the Celtics, frantically swiping the screen of Black Smart.
Not to be outdone, the Celtics fans responded with Xu Tiantui Smart's GIF.
Lakers fans and Celtics fans were torn apart, resulting in Xu Tian's crime of Anthony, and all the animations of the Rockets smashing the player channel in anger, which caused an uproar on the Internet.
However, no matter how noisy the Internet is, it cannot affect the players who are playing.
After repeated confirmation, the referee gave the final penalty. Smart and Xu Tian each played [-] rebounds, and each received a technical foul.
Xu Tian put the braces in place, walked to the free throw line calmly, and executed the additional penalty for Smart's foul.
Hollow into the net, 14-2!
Evan Turner took the serve and was about to dribble half court when he felt light-handed—the basketball was gone.
Xu Tianyun used the intercepted ball, faced the unguarded basket, stretched and took off easily, drew the bow and smashed dunks with one hand.
16-2!
The fans in the North Shore Garden Arena had no choice but to boo neatly, trying to reduce the momentum of the Lakers.
Coach Stevens has called a timeout twice, and he doesn't want to call a third time in a row. He shouted at Evan Turner to let him slow down the rhythm and play steadily with the Lakers.
Thomas Jr. sat next to the assistant coach and expressed his desire to play to help the team out of the predicament.He didn't want to sit on the sidelines and watch the Lakers play at the Garden.
The assistant coach got up and walked to Coach Stevens, and conveyed the meaning of Thomas Jr. on his behalf.
Coach Stevens thought for a moment and replied, "Wait a minute!"
The assistant coach didn't know what Coach Stevens meant, so he sat back on the coach's bench in silence.
Seeing that Thomas Jr. didn't mean to replace him, he continued to watch the game.
Smart's basketball shot was outrageous.
Tyler Zeller nearly grabbed the offensive rebound.
Xu Tian jumped high, flicked the ball into the air from Tyler Zeller, and Tyson Chandler received the rebound.
Tyson Chandler didn't look for anyone, and passed the ball straight to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian didn't push the counterattack, but dribbled the ball slowly across the half court, and signaled his teammates to pull away with his left hand.
Marcus Smart lowered his center of gravity, and the acting cells were in place ahead of time. As long as Xu Tian made physical contact, he would pop out in a logical manner.
Xu Tian pointed to the floor under his feet with the index finger of his left hand. After attracting Smart's attention, he ignored his defense and shot directly.
Unstoppable, hit a three-pointer!
