Chapter 245 Battle of Templates
Xu Tian had two templates for the draft, and the official one was LeBron James, the starting small forward in the Eastern Conference.Although Xu Tian is not like James at all, but facing the template, he always has a good topicality.
LaMarcus Aldridge served from the sideline and gave it to Xu Tian who was standing at the top of the arc.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball with his body straight, watching the movements of teammates on both sides from the corner of his eyes.
Westbrook slid the bottom line on the left side, and as soon as he ran to the basket, he received a pass from Xu Tian hitting the ground.
Pau Gasol has never been considered a defensive champion, but he still tries to stick to the defense and try to block the shot.
The Westbrook overlord made a strong bow, ignoring Pau Gasol's thugs, and completed the finish strongly.
The referee whistles, 2+1!
Xu Tian and James stood at the top of the arc, not far from each other, but they ignored each other.
Westbrook made an extra free throw, and the West team 46-37 the East team.
James is the only superstar in the Eastern Conference, and he must carry the team on his shoulders in order to have a chance to compete with the star-studded Western Conference.
Tyronn Lue realized that Pau Gasol was not suitable to partner with James and called Al Horford to his side to replace Pau Gasol on the next dead ball possession.
James controls the ball at the top of the arc, and while observing the countdown to the offense, he also pays attention to the movement of his teammates.
The All-Star stage was supposed to be a show, but the Western Conference set a precedent for real play, which made James desperately want to win this game.
Paul Millsap has the height of a small forward and has better mobility than DeMarcus Cousins.
James dribbled through two steps, pretended to look at Julius Randle, and hit the ground to the air-cut Paul Millsap.
Paul Millsap pulled the bow again, passing LaMarcus Aldridge for a powerful dunk.
46-39!
Steve Kerr called Anthony Davis to his side to share the floor with Al Horford.
James is the leader of the Eastern team, high-fiving Paul Millsap, who is retreating, to enhance the cohesion of the team.
Xu Tian slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, dribbled the ball deftly in front of his body, and took advantage of the trend to break through to the inside.
Both DeMarcus Cousins and LaMarcus Aldridge have shooting ability, lined up on the left and right sides of the penalty area, and pulled out Julius Randle and Pau Gasol of the Eastern team.
Xu Tian broke through from the left wing and attracted the help of Julius Randall.
DeMarcus Cousins became unguarded, received the pass from Xu Tian, took a big stride, raised the ball with both hands and hit the basket vigorously!
48-39!
James' shocking performance in last year's Finals was impressive. Many fans believed that he was stronger than Curry, who was in hot form, and worthy of the No.1 title in the league.Occasionally, James himself has such thoughts.
Since it is No.1, it cannot lose to the rookie, right?
James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and without waiting for the Western team's defense to fall, he launched a breakthrough.
Xu Tian is slightly weaker than James in terms of strength, but he can still cause interference, keeping close by and restricting easy shots.
James has the top ability to hit the basket, ignores Xu Tian's follow-up defense, overwhelms the defense strongly, and puts the basket violently with his left hand.
LaMarcus Aldridge didn't want to give James an easy goal, and the thugs blocked it.
The referee whistled and the basketball slid into the net.
2+1!
James glanced at the score that was still behind at the top of the stadium. He didn't have any intention of celebrating 2+1. He took a deep breath and made a free throw.
clang!
Add a fine to strike the iron!
48-41!
Anthony Davis has stepped in for LaMarcus Aldridge at dead ball, has an easy jump, and Ape Arm grabs the defensive rebound.
Al Horford tried for a steal but couldn't.
Anthony Davis has never partnered with Xu Tian, but having watched many Lakers games, he still knows Xu Tian's characteristics quite well, so he passed the ball to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian never refused to come, dribbling lightly with his right hand across the half court, bending over to look at the timer, unafraid of James' No.1 prestige.
What about the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu?
James didn't expect Xu Tian, who started at full speed, to be so fast, he was caught off guard, and he didn't cope well with the transition between fast and slow rhythms, so he was completely caught off guard.
Xu Tian accelerated in a straight line, looked at Al Horford who was standing outside the collision zone, and looked at James who was chasing him from the corner of his eye.
Anthony Davis was emptied for a short distance and immediately turned around to pass Paul Millsap, waiting for Xu Tian's pass.
Xu Tian attracted the attack from Al Horford and James, put his left hand behind Al Horford, and passed it to Anthony Davis who was open at the basket.
The idea of Anthony Davis trying to take a shot against Paul Millsap was only present for a moment before it was replaced by a pass.
DeMarcus Cousins received the pass again, collected the ball with both hands, took off slowly, and dunked.
50-41!
James realized that he was playing in a mess, so he quickly took advantage of the opportunity to receive the serve and communicated with Julius Randall first.
Julius Randle is a conscientious player who trusts James' tactical understanding and nodded to accept the arrangement.
James dribbled the ball across the half and wanted to break through, but was surrounded by Anthony Davis and Xu Tian.
Al Horford is a Celtics player and usually doesn't deal with the Cavaliers, but since he is an All-Star teammate, he still has to go to the top of the arc and try to help James block a defensive player.
Xu Tian had practiced going around the screen countless times, and he didn't care about Al Horford's weak screen, so he went around it easily.
James was firmly stuck in Xu Tian's position, unable to start at all, let alone Shi Zhan's unsolvable breakthrough.
Strike time, fast ticking!
James was uncomfortable being restricted by Xu Tian and Anthony Davis. He hit the ground with his left hand and wanted to pass the ball to Al Horford.
Seeing through the intention, Xu Tian easily intercepted with his right hand, turned around and gave it to Harden, who was about to play in the frontcourt.
Harden's athletic ability is not outstanding, but he has no problem completing the dunk. After receiving the pass, he ends up with a painless dunk.
52-41!
After Mike Brin finished his eloquent commentary, he saw Xu Tian pass the ball to Harden who was about to play, and said: "Darrell Morey is very proficient in how to live on a budget, but in terms of big transactions, often It seems too immature. Changing from the Thunder to James Harden was Morey's stroke of genius, but trading away Xu wiped out the magic."
Mark Jackson said: "James Harden and Xu are both players with high IQ. But both of them need to hold the ball in their hands. This similar style of play will affect the effect of their partnership to some extent. But since the trade It has already happened, and they should look forward."
"The rules of the commercial league are like this. If you want to become a non-sale product, you must play the level or potential of the team's leader, otherwise it will inevitably become a bargaining chip," Mike Breen said, "In short, the Rockets traded Xu. Hopeless."
Xu Tian didn't know that the commentator was talking about him, and stood at the top of the arc, waiting for Kyle Lowry who was about to advance.
