Chapter 349 Can't Cover Up
Before the game started, the Verizon Center played a tribute video, and fans spontaneously stood up and applauded to express their respect for Kobe.
The Lakers players stood on the sidelines, followed the fans, and applauded slowly.They have seen too many tribute videos, and they are somewhat numb.
Scott Brooks and Kobe are not too familiar, but still walked over to hug him and pay tribute on behalf of the team to pay tribute.
After the tribute session, the scene gradually calmed down and the national anthem of the United States of America was played, then the lights were dimmed, and the introduction began.
Xu Tian was the first player on the visiting team to be introduced.Amidst thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, he trotted out of his seat and stood calmly where he always stood.
In the following part, Xu Tian stood at the same place and gave high-fives to his teammates one by one. The introduction of the visiting team was not over until Kobe, who was introduced grandly, entered the field.
After watching the introduction of the home team, Xu Tianjing turned around and walked to the Lakers bench when the lights came back on.
Verizon Center caddies stood at the end of the benches, ready to pick up the players' warm-up suits.
Xu Tian took off the warm-up suit that was easy to put on and take off, walked over, and handed the clothes in his hand to the caddy.Under the surprised eyes of the caddy, he took out the braces from the knee pads and put them in his mouth skillfully.
The left hand touches the right hand bracelet, and the habitual action is completed, which means that Xu Tian has entered the competition state.
Kenny Smith and Barkley flew from Milwaukee to Washington to call the game live.
The Warriors and Spurs games started at the same time. Popovich and Steve Kerr exchanged friendly and then returned to the dugout to watch the upcoming game.
The game at the Verizon Center Arena also kicked off!
Wizards starters: Wall, Bill, Otto Porter, Nene, Gortat.
Lakers starters: Xu Tian, Kobe Bryant, George, Josh Smith, Tyson Chandler.
Nance Jr. returned to the bench, sat next to Clarkson, and waited for the game to begin.
Gortat jumps higher than Tyson Chandler and jumps to possession.The Wizards attacked first.
Wall is 193 cm tall and weighs 93 kg. He was the No. 2010 pick in [-].Initially, people expected him to become a super point guard, but unfortunately, he has not been able to reach the level expected by the outside world because of his weak shooting.
Speed is John Wall's most powerful weapon.
What Xu Tian defended was not Wall holding the ball, but Bradley Beal, the No. 3 shooting guard whose template was Ray Allen.
Bill is 196 centimeters tall and weighs 94 kilograms. He was the third flower in 2012.Bill, who has excellent shooting ability, just complements Wall.
The Wizards have their current record, mostly relying on their talented backcourt double guns.
The defender facing Wall is Kobe, and the offensive pressure is relatively small. He changes direction in front of his body and quickly rushes towards the penalty area.
Scott Brooks didn't look at Wall who made a breakthrough with the dribble, but instead focused on Xu Tian, paying attention to what he was doing on the court.
Xu Tian stuck close to Bill, blocked the passing route, and restricted Bill without the ball.
Josh Smith unconsciously came out to defend Wall and gave Nene an open opportunity.
Wall steals the pass to Nene.
Nene held the ball with his right hand, flew and dunked lightly, helping the Wizards get two points first!
0-2!
Scott Brooks finally had a flash of inspiration, got up and stood on the sidelines, let Wall and Bill act as support, and tried to activate Nene and Gortat.The Lakers are weak inside, which is a relatively easy breakthrough.
Wall saw Scott Brooks' gesture and understood the next tactic, and lowered his center of gravity to defend at the top of the arc.
Kobe controls the ball at the top of the arc and organizes the team's offense.
Xu Tian stood in the bottom corner on the right and took the initiative to take on the task of opening up the space, leaving the offensive scene to Kobe and George.
George mentioned the top of the arc and formed a solid screen to block Wall, who was in charge of man-marking Kobe.Two star players pick and roll is a relatively simple and effective offensive tactic.
Bill and Wall switched defenses quickly, basically leaving Kobe and George open, and exerting physical confrontation defense.
Kobe knew that the main attack point in the opening stage was George, and he hit the ground and passed the ball horizontally, and handed it to George who went down without the ball.
George is 15 centimeters taller than Wall, and he started with the ball strongly. With his height advantage, he crushed into the paint area and made a mid-range throw in the confrontation.
The referee blew the whistle and fouled Wall's thug!
Scott Brooks pretended to have made a misjudgment, questioned the referee without changing his face, put pressure on the referee, and strived for a penalty scale that was favorable to the home team.
The referee was very principled, unaffected by Scott Brooks, and executed George's two free throws.
George didn't feel too good. He made one of two free throws and helped the Lakers score a point!
1-2!
Wall pushed across the half court slowly, the top of the arc moved laterally, and passed to Nene inadvertently.
Nene has a certain mid-range shooting ability, pulled out Josh Smith's defense, passed inside, and gave it to Gortat who grabbed the position in the penalty area.
After all, Tyson Chandler's strength in the lower plate was unstable, and he was deflated in the face of the Polish hammer.
Gortat turned around and crushed the basket to complete the offensive end!
1-4!
Xu Tian stepped out of the baseline, served to Kobe, and then ran forward without the ball.
George has served as a defensive engineer for half a season. He has forgotten some of his previous style of play and suddenly increased his offensive possessions. It is still a bit uncomfortable.The dribble broke through to the free throw line, and subconsciously passed the ball to Xu Tian who was standing in the bottom corner.
Otto Porter was extremely worried before the start of the game. He didn't know how to defend Xu Tian. He didn't expect it to be very easy, so he was a little careless.When taking off to defend, Xu Tian's shot has already been shot.
The basketball draws a beautiful arc and hits the net with precision!
4-4!
Xu Tian made a three-point gesture with his right hand, using the Verizon Center as Staples, trying to mobilize the atmosphere of the fans.
Washington fans liked Xu Tian very much, bursting into cheers and responding to his interaction.
Wall and Bill glanced at each other, and they both saw a little helplessness in each other's eyes.The home fans were originally the strongest backing, but they did not expect to become the opponent's help now.
Bill received the pass, three threats at the top of the arc tested the defense, saw Josh Smith and Tyson Chandler going around the front to block the line of receiving the ball, changed the offensive option, and took a step laterally to pull up the shot.
Xu Tian was in charge of defending Bill. He predicted his offensive movement in advance, touched the basketball with his fingertips, and blocked the shot.
The basketball was stopped by an external force and fell early, and it fell into George's hands.
George got the basketball, made a long pass to the frontcourt, and handed it to Xu Tian, who was running without the ball.
Xu Tian understands that the [-] fans at the scene don't always come to the Verizon Center Arena to watch the game, and they probably only have this chance to watch the game.
6-4!
Xu Tian landed on the ground with both feet to cushion, stretched out his hands, and pointed to an excited little fan behind the basket.
The little fans didn't expect to get a response from Xu Tian, jumping up and down and screaming, their excitement couldn't be higher.
Scott Brooks put his hands around his mouth and shouted to the court, telling Bill to avoid challenging Xu Tian as much as possible.
