Chapter 304
Xu Tian experienced fierce confrontation, and his arm muscles became stiff, which affected his free throw feel.
The thugs made two free throws, and none of them hit!It was quite surprising that this happened to Xu Tian, so many fans exclaimed.
Xu Tian has never been affected by the offense and defense of the last round, standing at the top of the arc, ready to receive the frontcourt sideline ball.
The Spurs shouted Beat LA at the home court, cheering for the players who devoted themselves to the game.
Xu Tian bent over to dribble, and the rest of his teammates pulled away.
Kobe and George ambushed outside the three-point line on the left and right wings respectively, opening up space and creating a singles environment for Xu Tian, who was feeling hot before.In the past, this matter would be handed over to Kobe, but now Xu Tian is required to carry it out.
Nance Jr. mentioned the top of the arc, slightly delayed Kawhi Leonard's single defense, and then allowed Xu Tian to attack easily.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball on the left side and carried Kawhi Leonard who was chasing him with his right shoulder to avoid being blocked from the breakthrough route.
Duncan stood on the edge of the penalty area, stretched his hands forward, and focused all his attention on Xu Tian who was holding the ball.At this stage of the game, superstars like to use their personal abilities to solve problems.
Xu Tian's right arm was slightly strengthened, and Kawhi Leonard, who couldn't stop the car for a short time, was pushed aside, and he stepped back with both feet, and instantly took a step away from him.Pull up chicly, lean back and shoot.
Duncan's top defense and defense awareness are good, but now, he has no mobility to defend again, so he can only turn around and get stuck with Josh Smith in the penalty area, preparing to compete for rebounds.
The basketball bounced on the rim for a long time, and was caught obediently, adding two points for the Lakers.
85-83!
The time is 4 minutes and 36 seconds!
Tony Parker dribbled the ball with his right hand, made a tactical gesture with his left hand, and brought the ball slowly to the frontcourt.Hit the ball and pass to Kawhi Leonard, guarded by Kobe.
Popovich intends to train Kawhi Leonard as the core after Duncan, so most of the offenses at critical moments are executed by him.LaMarcus Aldridge's offensive ability is very stable, but he still gave up his shot.
Nance Jr. stood in the paint with his right hand on LaMarcus Aldridge and his eyes on Kawhi Leonard on the ball.
Kobe's athletic ability has declined, but his defensive awareness and experience have become more abundant. He secretly grabbed Kawhi Leonard's clothes with his right hand and used small movements to affect his power.This trick does have some effect.
Kawhi Leonard started as a defensive engineer. After winning the FMVP, he gradually developed various offensive skills.This kind of growth trajectory is different from that of usual stars.
Most of the stars are both offensive and defensive. Of course, there are also many stars who are top-notch on the offensive end but not outstanding on the defensive end. The latter tend to gradually strengthen their defense and try to go further.In fact, it is not difficult to understand. First of all, you must be able to score in order to get more opportunities and playing time.
Nance Jr. bet that Kawhi Leonard was not comfortable enough on the offensive end. He gave up his man-marked LaMarcus Aldridge and mentioned the free throw line and Kobe double-teaming Kawhi Leonard.
Kawhi Leonard often watches Jordan videos, and knows a thing or two about Jordan's way of handling double-team defenses.
Nance Jr. and Bryant jumped up at the same time, stretched out their right hands, trying to cause interference.
Kawhi Leonard's backward jump is not as high as Jordan's, and his backward range is not as large as Kobe's. With his better height, he still has some small space for his shot.Coherent action, direct shooting.
The basketball spins and hits the net hollow!
85-85!
The growth rate of Kawhi Leonard's offensive end far exceeded the expectations of the fans. This kind of goal scored by personal ability has boosted the morale of the team and fans.Deafening shouts sounded at the scene, and the content was the word defense.
Xu Tian took the ball to the frontcourt, hit the ground with his left hand and passed it to Kobe on the left waist.
The defender Kobe faced was the older Manu Ginobili, who dribbled with his back and slowly rolled towards the basket.He has used this kind of offensive method for many years, and he has already become familiar with it, and finally he turned over and shot backwards.
The ball arced higher than ever over Ginobili's defense, traveled longer, and landed in the net.This was Kobe's first mid-range shot in the fourth quarter.
87-85!
Popovich commanded from the sidelines and asked Tony Parker to hand the ball to Duncan to attack the Lakers' weakest point.
Duncan is very familiar with Popovich's arrangement, he is in the penalty area, and he extends his right hand to receive Tony Parker's lob.
Josh Smith is considered one of the most physically strong players in the NBA, but he still couldn't hold Duncan up and lost his defensive position. He tried his best to defend, but it still didn't work.
The closer to the basket, the easier it is to score.
87-87!
Duncan also had a little intention of retiring from the league in his heart, but he was not as sure as Kobe, so he didn't announce it.He thinks that this kind of thing should be handled in a low-key manner.
The Spurs players are used to walking beside Duncan. As long as the stone Buddha does not fall, the Spurs will not fall.In fact, the spirit of the Spurs that is often said may be pinned on this taciturn power forward.
Xu Tian received the serve and pointed it to Kobe on the right.
Kobe dribbled the ball across half court, controlled the ball at the top of the arc and used Xu Tian to cover and move laterally, and Xu Tian, who split the ball down the pick-and-roll, tried to directly break the Spurs' outside defense.
Xu Tian received the ball, but was delayed by Manu Ginobili who defended him.
Duncan ran over at a slow speed, and formed an encirclement trend with Ginobili, strongly double-teaming Xu Tian who was holding the ball.
Xu Tian was powerful, but was blocked by Kawhi Leonard who arrived from behind and was unable to pass the ball.He hugged the basketball with both hands and grabbed it with Duncan.
After all, Duncan is a power forward with a bit more strength than James, but he still couldn't snatch the ball, but just got a chance to scrimmage the ball.
Xu Tian and Duncan stood face to face, lowered their center of gravity at the same time, and watched the referee with the ball walk to the middle.
This is the game, the third time the two scrambled for the ball.Xu Tian mastered the jump ball skills and won the ball with his more energetic legs.
George got the ball, passed it to Kobe who was standing at the top of the arc, and then ran to the right waist.During the running process, the defensive positions of the two Spurs players were changed.
There was not much time left in the attack, Kobe didn't pass the ball anymore, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and shot straight back from the top of the arc.
The basketball flew into the air, and the red light on the edge of the backboard lit up.This is a shot at the buzzer. If it misses, it needs to hit the basket.
clang!
George got rid of Tony Parker standing next to him, ran to the basket quickly, jumped with both legs, and put the ball in the basket with his right hand.
89-87!
Xu Tian was stuck behind Kawhi Leonard just now. Seeing that George made a tip-up, Xu Tian immediately relaxed his strength and gave George a high-five as he ran over.
