Chapter 289 Regular Match
In the first half of the second quarter, Kobe and George led the team together, and the 76ers were unable to parry the connecting lineup, and the point difference was quickly widened to nearly fifteen points.
Joel Embiid came on again with 7 minutes and 25 seconds left in the second quarter, and single-handedly turned the Lakers' weak inside upside down.In just two and a half minutes, the team narrowed the point difference to five points.
Xu Tian rested for 7 minutes and replaced Warren with 4 minutes and 56 seconds left in the second quarter. Together with Kobe and George, he led the last few minutes of the first half.
Joel Embiid sat off the court and watched Xu Tian's performance for a while, looking forward to his appearance.
Xu Tian received the serve, advanced slowly, and organized an attack at the top of the arc.
Black's left waist continued to screen, first allowing George to run from the sideline to the top of the arc, and then covering Kobe to run from the top of the arc to the left.
Xu Tian passed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe attracted Robert Covington's defense, hit the ground pass, and gave it to Black who was rolling in the pick-and-roll.
Black was really not flexible enough, barely hugging the ball with both hands, stumbling to the penalty area at a slow speed, confronting Embiid who was waiting there, shouting and throwing the ball.
Embiid touched the basketball with his right hand. Although there was physical contact, he was sentenced to a block.The game continues.
Xu Tian predicted that this might happen, followed behind, and took the ball hit by Embiid in his hand.
Gerald Wallace hurried to Xu Tian's side, exerting physical confrontation, and did not give him an easy shot.
As soon as Embiid finished blocking the shot, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity and prepared to defend against Xu Tian's shot.
Xu Tian saw George running from the corner of his eye and passed the ball in front of him. If George suddenly ran back, this cooperation would end in a mistake.Fortunately, the two had a good understanding, and George still received the predicted pass.
George caught the ball without adjusting, and took off to shoot while on the move.
The basketball hits the board, rebounds and hits!
The Lakers led the 45ers by 38 points with a score of 76 to 7.
Tony Roten dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, looked at Xu Tian with a headache, and distributed the ball to Isaiah Kanan on the right.
When the team has an advantage inside, players will have much less concern when shooting.Isaiah Kanan made a slight adjustment, holding the ball steadily with both hands, and made a super long shot from beyond the three-point line.
The basketball draws a high arc that ends at the rim fixed on the backboard.
clang!
Embiid turned around confidently, and before he even took off, he saw a yellow-skinned hand holding the basketball.He missed a well-placed offensive rebound.
Robert Covington and Gerald Wallace retreated quickly, stuck the fast-running George, and delayed the Lakers' fast-break counterattack.
Xu Tian trotted to the front court with the ball, taking advantage of the hesitation in the defensive positions of Robert Covington and Tony Roten, he dribbled the ball and broke through.
Joel Embiid slightly lowered his center of gravity, looked at Xu Tian who broke through, and wanted to complete a block.
Xu Tian didn't back down, took off in the paint area, and directly asked for a one-handed buckle.
Joel Embiid tried to block the shot. When he found that the height was not enough, he pressed Xu Tian's wrist with the ball with his right hand and used a foul to stop it.
Xu Tian stabilized his figure, landed his feet steadily and cushioned, and high-fived Kobe and George who came forward.
After the referee waited for the players from both sides to stand on both sides of the free throw line, he gave the ball to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian made two free throws, steady!
47-38!
Embiid stayed in the backcourt and said to Tony Rotten: "Pass the ball to me!"
Tony Roten understood Embiid's status in the team, didn't make a sound, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and lobbed the ball directly to Embiid in the penalty area.
Xu Tian sank to a low position, held Embiid with his left hand, and continued to extend his right hand to interfere.
Embiid wanted to crush Xu Tian head-on, but he didn't use his recent steps to join the arsenal, so he turned around and hit high, forcing a layup.
Xu Tian is not proficient in low-post defensive skills, but still avoided fouls, and tried to touch the ball in Embiid's hands with his right hand.
Embiid has an advantage in height, and he has a steady layup with his right hand. Unfortunately, his strength is weaker than Xu Tian's. He didn't maintain a stable foot and missed the layup.
Black was in a better position, trying to take off the defensive rebound, and after letting the 76ers counter-rob, he passed to Xu Tian hand-to-hand.
Xu Tian fully entered the game state, dribbled the ball with his left hand, and observed his teammates' running positions.
Kobe stood in the left corner and pulled out Gerald Wallace to follow up, creating a broad offensive space for Xu Tian.
Xu Tian bent over to dribble, pretended to go left to break through to deceive Robert Covington, and made a sharp crossover to the right to break.
Robert Covington couldn't get back.
There was no one in the 21-foot radius, Xu Tian no longer struggled, and took off on the spot, softly in the middle distance.
BANG!
49-38!
Mike Brin's classic commentary reappeared, and then he asked Reggie Miller and Elena Dorn: "Reggie, Elena, do you think there is still room for mid-range shooting in today's league?"
Ms. Elena Dorn gives priority to expressing her own opinion: "Stephen Curry changed the technology of three-pointers, making many people realize that scoring can become easier, but I think the technology on the basketball court, Basically nothing is useless."
"I agree with Elena," Reggie Miller said afterwards, "When the playoffs appear to be defensive, or when the defensive focus is on the penalty area and the three-point line, the mid-range is the place where the least defensive energy is devoted. Correspondingly, the resistance to scoring will be the least. At that time, the mid-range shooting ability may make or break the game.”
Elena Dorn basically agrees with Reggie Miller.
Tony Roten took his time, passed the ball to Robert Covington after halftime, and ran laterally, pulling Kobe, who was in charge of defending him, to the other side.
George lowered his center of gravity and marked Robert Covington, who was standing and holding the ball with both hands.
Xu Tian didn't go to the penalty area to fight Embiid again, and stood next to Gerald Wallace, ready to make up defense or assist defense at any time.
Robert Covington wanted to dribble laterally, but the basic skills of dribbling were not solid enough. George touched the basketball with his right hand and hit it to the left.
The basketball was bouncing, and it was about to fly out of bounds.Xu Tian rushed out quickly and saved the ball with his right hand.
Gerald Wallace bent over to attack, intending to counter-grab the ball.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball on the spot and turned around, dodged Gerald Wallace's steal attempt, and dribbled the ball with his left hand to the frontcourt.
Gerald Wallace lost his defensive position, but fortunately, the impact was not significant, and he ran to the frontcourt to chase Xu Tian.
Xu Tian made a fake shot from the top of the arc, and hit Tony Roten, who was defending in front of him. His left hand caught him by surprise and threw the ball to Kobe, who was hitting the basket without the ball.
The decline in Kobe's athletic ability affected his shooting, and the layup, which tested his basic skills, did not decrease too much.Dribbled the ball with his left hand to dodge Embiid's block, and leaned forward in the collision zone for a layup.
Embiid jumped high enough to block the ball with his right hand.
The referee maintained fairness and judged that Embiid's defense interfered with the ball and the two points were valid.
