Chapter 224
The basketball slowly flew into the air, but it could not escape the pull of gravity after all. After reaching the highest point, it fell in a parabolic shape and fell into the net accurately.
18-15!
Steve Clifford frowned helplessly as he watched the defensive system that was easily dispelled, and returned to the bench to watch quietly.
Jeremy Lin has a strong ability to control the ball, and with the fiery Jeremy Lamb, the duo resisted the Lakers' wonderful offense.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers 32-31 Hornets!
In the regular rotation stage at the beginning of the second quarter, Xu Tian and Clarkson appeared together, leading the team and the Hornets to attack and defend each other.
The Hornets sent Nicolas Batum, and then took on the task of defending Xu Tian.
Walker dribbled the ball across the half and split the ball to Nicolas Batum on the left, who organized the team's offense.
Xu Tian single-handedly defended, using his long arms to interfere with Nicolas Batum's dribbling rhythm, and defended in a familiar way.
The Hornets are not strong, but they also have rigorous offensive tactics. Nicholas Batum stopped the ball at the top of the arc and passed it to Marvin Williams who slipped from the bottom line and ran back.
Marvin Williams received the ball and faced Josh's defense, but couldn't find a chance to make a shot. Before the offensive three-second violation, he passed the ball to Kemba Walker who was on the weak side.
Walker holds the ball for three threats, shakes Clarkson tentatively with his right foot, waits until there is a defensive loophole, and dribbles with his left hand to the penalty area.
Black focused on getting stuck with Kaminski, and Kemba Walker, who didn't see a breakthrough, directly gave the empty basket a chance.
Kemba Walker had a shadow in his heart, and he didn't dare to dunk anymore. He wiped the board with his left hand and made a soft layup.
32-33!
Huertas stepped out of the baseline, saw the purple figure running in the frontcourt, and passed a long pass directly to the past.
Xu Tian watched the basketball run quickly, took off near the penalty area, took a penalty kick with his right hand, and completed the alley-oop.
34-33!
The Lakers fast break in 2 seconds!
Barkley said: "Wow! This ball is scheduled for today's top five balls!"
Kenny Smith said: "Officials have always liked this kind of smooth cooperation, and they can basically occupy the second or third place."
Kemba Walker dribbled the ball across half court, played a pick-and-roll with Kaminsky at the top of the arc, and the two went down to the basket.
Josh and Blake lowered their weight, waiting for Kemba Walker and Frank Kaminsky to come.
Kemba Walker was assisted by Xu Tian and was unable to make a direct shot, so he hit Kaminsky with a ground pass.
Kaminsky is 213 cm tall and weighs 107 kg. He was the ninth pick in the first round last year. His wingspan is not good enough and his talent is really limited.
Josh caught Kaminsky's opportunity to expose the ball, touched it with his right hand, and shot the ball down.
Blake looked at the basketball in front of him and stretched out his hands, trying to grab the floor ball.
Kemba Walker didn't want to give up the ball easily, so he flew over and grabbed the basketball with both hands, and grabbed it with Black.
Kaminsky and Josh then joined the fray, and the four huddled together in the penalty area, vying for the basketball at the heart of the game.
The referee blew the whistle to stop the game, and went to the technical platform to watch the replay to determine the ownership of the ball.
The replay center repeatedly played slow motion, and saw Josh and Kaminsky embracing the ball, and the two sides were called to fight for the ball.
Josh and Cummings sit together and wait for the referee to throw the ball.
The basketball flew upwards, Josh jumped up quickly, and gave the racket to Xu Tian who was standing in the backcourt.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball behind his back, avoided Kemba Walker's interception attempt, and dribbled the ball across half court at a slow speed.
Nicolas Batum couldn't grasp the balance of anti-burst or anti-shot, and his center of gravity was in the same position, neither of which was done well.
Xu Tian has seen all kinds of defenses, saw through the loopholes at a glance, changed direction in front of his body, and easily broke through Nicholas Batum's defense.
At 18 feet, Xu Tian faced the defense of the Hornets and made an emergency stop to pull out the middle distance.
unstoppable!
36-33!
Jordan has watched Xu Tian's game video and knows that he is a reasonable person when he usually plays. He has never seen such a difficult shot at this moment in the previous video.
Xu Tian pulled his shorts and lowered his focus to defend.
Nicolas Batum didn't dare to hold the ball at the top of the arc, and gave the ball to Kemba Walker, avoiding a head-on collision.
Kemba Walker dribbled past Clarkson, slipped on the sole of his foot, and the ball came out of his hand.
Huertas got the basketball, dribbled the ball with his left hand to get rid of the counter-robber, and passed the ball to Xu Tian at the top of the arc.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball across the half court at a slow speed, took advantage of the Hornets' loose defensive formation, changed his rhythm instantly, and passed Nicholas Batum again.
Kemba Walker and Marvin Williams quickly assisted in the defense, and once again formed a three-man encirclement with Nicholas Batum to jointly defend against Xu Tian's attack.
Xu Tian didn't score the ball, he pulled up on the spot and made an extreme fadeaway jumper.
Still unstoppable!
38-33!
Fans at the Time Warner Center looked at Xu Tian stretching his shot, not knowing how to react, and seemed very quiet.
Kemba Walker looked at Xu Tian who was calmly retreating, his blood rushed to his head with anger, making him rush into the penalty area.
Josh was depressed in this game, seized the opportunity to perform, and hit the ball with his right hand on the backboard.
Xu Tian received the pass again, took advantage of the Hornets' defensive chaos, accelerated his breakthrough in a straight line, and dunked hard with his right hand.
40-33!
Steve Clifford called a timeout again.
During the timeout period, Clifford changed his defensive tactics - as long as Xu Tian held the ball, he directly double-teamed.
After the timeout expires, players from both teams return to the field.
Jeremy Lin received the serve, took the half court slowly, and the three-point line moved laterally with the help of a cover, tentatively shooting.
clang!
Xu Tian pulled up from the basket, took off the rebound from the duo's heads, and dribbled forward to the frontcourt.
When McGee and Jeremy Lin mentioned the top of the arc, they double-teamed Xu Tian and did not give him any chance to dribble.
Xu Tian quickly split the ball to the left wing.
Clarkson received the ball without adjusting, and shot directly from outside the three-point line.
clang!
Jeremy Lin and Maijiji relaxed their defense against Xu Tian, allowing him to seize the opportunity and run to the penalty area.
Frank Kaminsky and Xu Tian are rookies at the same level, but their experience is far apart, and Xu Tian, who is rushing for rebounds, has the advantage.
Xu Tian patted the ball behind him to Black on the left side of the penalty area.
Black was unguarded in front of him, wiped the board with his left hand, and hit the board for a layup.
42-33!
Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc, watching Jeremy Lin who was dribbling over, slowly lowered his center of gravity, and attacked and defended each other for the first time.
Jeremy Lin smiled and said, "Xu, try to defend me!"
Xu Tian didn't have time to speak, he moved laterally and bumped into Kaminski, and was blocked.
Jeremy Lin used the cover to shoot, and Josh, who was switched on defense, touched the ball and scored a shot.
Black stuck solidly, got the defensive rebound with both hands, and handed it to Huertas near the free throw line.
Huertas once again saw Xu Tian, who was going down the frontcourt, and passed a long pass to help him complete the attack.
Xu Tian took the ball and faced the expectations of nearly [-] spectators, he really couldn't refuse.Adjust the dribble with the left hand, and pull up with both feet.
