Chapter 329 Offensive Talent
Even if NBA players are not good at shooting, they can't easily let go when they are full of energy, otherwise they will suffer.
Although Tristan Thompson is a blue-collar power forward, he can still make a simple mid-range shot!
7-5!
Xu Tian received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, dribbled the ball with his right hand, stretched out four fingers with his free left hand, and moved them back and forth twice.
Both Kobe and George noticed Xu Tian's gestures, knew what offensive tactics to play, and pulled away from the left and right respectively, waiting for Xu Tian's next move.
Iman Shumpert prepared a basket of defensive skills in advance, but Xu Tian hadn't taken the initiative to make a shot except for a long-range three-pointer.It made him feel a little heroic.
Xu Tianheng passed the ball to Kobe who was standing outside the three-point line on the right.
Kobe dribbled the ball with his right hand, and beckoned Nance Jr. to come to him with his left hand, and the two played pick-and-roll cooperation.
Tyson Chandler stepped to the left and pulled Tristan Thompson, who was in charge of the defense, out of the penalty area.
Xu Tian used George's cover to get rid of Iman Shumpert's pursuit and put pressure on James on the defensive end.
Facing the pick-and-roll from Kobe and Nance Jr., Love and Irving had no choice but to switch defenses, allowing Love to face Kobe.
After completing the task, Nance Jr. ran to the right waist and pulled Irving away who might help defend Kobe.
Nowadays, there are very few players in the league with special standards for lowering the center of gravity on the defensive end. Love is stronger in offense than defense, and his defensive posture is even more messy.
Kobe is a singles master who has studied offensive skills for many years. Seeing that Love's defense is full of loopholes, he switched from fast to slow and directly passed Love.
Tristan Thompson hastily dropped his coverage of Tyson Chandler and returned to the paint, denying Bryant a chance for a layup.
Kobe didn't have the jumping ability at his peak, otherwise he would have completed the offense with a dunk.Now what is the rice, what to do, transfer the ball to Tyson Chandler.
Tyson Chandler is a defensive champion, except for the basket on the offensive end, he is basically not much of a threat.The Cavaliers have no one to help the defense.
Tyson Chandler didn't dare to attack and passed the ball back to Xu Tian who was standing at the top of the arc.
James had predicted it a long time ago, came out unexpectedly, and blocked the pass.Then a long pass was made to the frontcourt, and it was given to Irving who was about to play.
After Irving glanced, seeing that no Lakers could chase and defend, he adjusted his dribble and wanted to complete a one-handed dunk.
The basket seems to be half an inch higher, and the dunk is blocked!
Irving picked up the ball and wanted to finish the attack with a layup, but George had already made it quickly and slapped his basketball on the backboard.
The ball bounced near the three-point line and landed in Love's hands.
Love passed the ball to James at the top of the arc, and he reorganized the offense.
James waved his teammates away, dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and wanted to break through George's defense.
George's center of gravity dropped very low, and he let it go a little bit, not giving James a chance to break through.
It's not that James has no shooting ability at all, but he basically doesn't regard this ability as a routine method. In insignificant rounds, he will still try boldly.Receive the ball at the top of the arc and shoot a three-pointer!
The basketball draws a high parabola and hits the net with precision!
7-8!
The Cavaliers overtake!
Xu Tian received the serve, advanced slowly to the frontcourt, and crossed the ball to Kobe.
Kobe then called Nance Jr., and the two played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, allowing Love to continue to defend Kobe.
Love's defense was not very successful last time, but this time he concentrated on trying to block Kobe's attack.
The Lakers opened up the four players, giving Kobe enough space to let him play Love one-on-one.
Kobe Bryant played with his back and used the retro style of attack to test Love's defensive position and center of gravity to find the best time to attack.
Love's defense was not good, and he quickly showed his flaws, and was immediately caught by the experienced Kobe.
Kobe turned over and leaned back, making a signature shot!
9-8!
There was a burst of cheers in the Quicken Loans Center that was not weaker than the one dedicated to James just now.
Kobe simply waved to the fans at the scene, responding to this rare enthusiasm.
Xu Tian still didn't speak in this game, and retreated quickly, waiting for Iman Shumpert to come to the frontcourt.
James continued to advance with the ball, this time without possession of the ball, and passed it directly to Irving on the right.
Irving didn't have a lot of pressure on the defensive end for more than a minute, and his physical exertion was not serious. He dribbled continuously under his crotch to find his touch, and suddenly started without warning.
Kobe was no longer able to display the jellyfish-like defense, so he could only let go of half a step, using the prepared position in advance, to block the offensive ability of Irving.
Irving's offensive end is full of aura, and he is almost completely different from the defensive end. Relying on Kobe's defensive breakthrough, he continues to step back without warning, easily get rid of Kobe's defense, and shoot mid-range shots!
Hollow into the network!
9-10!
Irving didn't forget to smile and say trash talk to Kobe: "Kobe, you can't guard me."
Kobe is a player who likes trash talk very much. Before each game, he will study potential opponents and find targeted trash talk.Now naturally he refuses to show weakness easily, and responded to Irving: "Kyrie, your defense is like paper, otherwise you would have led the team to the playoffs."
Owen immediately lost his voice when he heard this past event that he didn't want to think about, and the trash talking provocation ended in failure.
Xu Tian greeted Nance Jr., and the two played pick-and-roll cooperation. This time, Xu Tian singled out Love.
Love's mobility is not good enough, so naturally he can only let Xu Tian take half a step, and the rest has to be hoped that Xu Tian will not make a shot.Such a situation is very difficult to occur.
Xu Tian pulled up 21 feet chicly, the standard length was two points, and he made a steady hit!
11-10!
Tyronn Lue looked at the time and felt that the time had come to replace Love, so he called Matthew Dellavedova to his side and asked him to prepare to replace Love.
James advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Irving again.
Irving played singles with the ball on the right side, and the continuous high-difficulty technical moves were smoothly connected. He found a little offensive space and leaned forward for a layup.
Nance Jr. happened to be standing not far away, and he made up the defense in time, covering Owen's shot from the bottom line.
There is a dead ball on the scene, and a substitution adjustment is performed.
Dellavedova replaced Love, trying to increase the degree of confrontation on the outside.
The Lakers sent the frontcourt sideline ball, and Dellavedova stood on the court, trying to cause interference as much as possible.
Bryant hit the ground, knocked to Nance Jr., who was underappreciated.
Nance Jr. scored the ball and gave it to Xu Tian who was standing at the top of the arc.
Xu Tian pressed down with his left hand, signaling his teammates to slow down the pace, and then passed the ball to Kobe.
Dellavedova is not as calm as Iman Shumpert, and he can't hold back his aggressiveness on the defensive end, so he quickly goes to help defend.
Kobe didn't play singles, and passed back to Xu Tian at the top of the arc.
Dellavedova cursed inwardly, but he didn't give up chasing and defending, and quickly rushed forward.
Xu Tian is taller than Dellavedova and bounces better than him, so naturally he will not be disturbed.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc and entered the net hollowly.Even the Nets didn't even touch the slightest.
