Chapter 373 Steady Suppression
Louis Williams and Randall played pick-and-rolls at the top of the arc, breaking the Lakers' defense switching system, and the two changed the opponent's defense to complete an exquisite cooperation.
Randall grabbed the ball with both hands, pushed McGee in the air, and dunked vigorously!
McGee and Randall had a physical confrontation, violated the latter's cylinder, and was whistled for a defensive foul.
Randall clenched his fists to celebrate, mobilized the atmosphere of the scene, and tried to help the team establish a psychological advantage.He is very clear that the overall strength of the team is not as good as the Lakers, if he gives up easily, then the result of this game is doomed.
The fans at the scene cheered enthusiastically, responding to Randall's passionate cry!
The charm of competitive sports lies in this. You should not shrink back because of the strength of your opponent. You must go forward and fight hard, and never give up lightly.
Xu Tian looked at the restless fans at the scene, touched the wristband of his right hand with his left hand, and then walked to the top of the arc to watch Randall make free throws.
Randall made an extra penalty and made a hit!
27-14!
Xu Tian received the serve, dribbled the ball to the front court under the defense of George Hill, dribbled the ball behind him, and broke through in a straight line.
There is a qualitative gap between George Hill's athletic ability and Xu Tian's. He chased and defended from the side, but was gradually pulled away.
Randall's defensive ability is not strong, but he still makes up for it, not giving Xu Tian a chance to easily complete the attack.
Xu Tian observed his teammates from the corner of his eyes, moved his right finger deftly, and passed the ball to Nick Young who was standing in the corner on the right.
Nick Young didn't make any adjustments, the overall rhythm of the shot was smooth, and he directly shot a three-pointer!
Swish!
30-14!
Myles Turner slapped the ball vigorously with both hands, vented his emotions, stepped out of the baseline, and sent the ball to George Hill, who was better at organizing.
Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc and played the defense of jelly candy. During the physical confrontation, he broke the ball dribbled by George Hill.
George Hill didn't expect that Xu Tian would suddenly increase his defensive intensity, and he was caught off guard and made a mistake, so he had to make a foul to prevent the Lakers from playing a fast-break counterattack.
Seeing Xu Tian's eyes, Frank Vogel immediately felt his desire for victory.
The Lakers sent the sideline ball from the backcourt, Xu Tian slowly led it across the half court, played a pick-and-roll with Nance Jr. at the top of the arc, accelerated in a straight line, and broke through Randall's defense again.
Randall can't restrain Xu Tian, this is the conclusion drawn from many intra-team competitions.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball with his right hand, switched between fast and slow rhythms, used dexterous rhythm changes to get rid of Randall, stepped back in the paint, and made a cool mid-range shot!
32-14!
"Uh~! The point difference is already [-] points away." Reggie Miller originally hoped that the Pacers boys could recover the point difference, but seeing Xu Tian's unreasonable state, he could only acquiesce.
Mike Breen said: "Xu's touch is hot tonight, and he has hit all the shots so far. This is not only because of his state, but also because the Pacers don't have tall defenders on the outside."
Reggie Miller said: "That's right! Xu is 201 centimeters tall and has an advantage in the first position. He has a wider field of vision than ordinary point guards. At the same time, he also has a historical level of touch, which makes him Unstoppable. Opponents who want to limit him should indeed send forward players with a height of about two meters, otherwise the effect will not be too obvious."
"The Pacers can achieve today's record, on the one hand, relying on the performance of the two towers inside, and on the other hand, relying on the strength of the bench bandits. It just so happens that the striker is not deep enough to face Xu Tian in a single point."
The momentum that Randall finally fought back gradually began to dissipate as the point difference widened.
Myles Turner and Randall did not communicate well. They stood in the penalty area for too long and were blown off for a three-second violation.
The fans booed the referee, but not enough to force them to change the penalty, and the ball belonged to the Lakers.
Frank Vogel called the fourth timeout of the first quarter, adjusted the lineup again, and tried to limit Xu Tian.
The Pacers have a few players who are about two meters long, but their defensive ability is not strong. It is difficult to let Randall defend, not to mention the waste of energy, and the offensive end may also be implicated.But now that he has reached the edge of the cliff, he can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, trying to make Randall defend Xu Tian.
Xu Tian looked at the time, and there were less than 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, so he decided to play the first quarter.
Xu Tian did not speak during the timeout, added some water, and then returned to the court to play the game.
The Lakers sent the ball from the backcourt, Xu Tian took the ball to the frontcourt, saw the defender in front of him changed from George Hill to Randall, and knew that the Pacers wanted to use taller players to limit him.Bending over to dribble at the top of the arc, his shoulders kept swinging, confusing Randall's defense.
Randall's top defense ability can be regarded as above the standard, and the outside single-point defense ability is not very strong. He can't guess Xu Tian's thoughts at all, let alone respond in advance.
Seizing the moment when Randall's center of gravity shifted forward, Xu Tian dribbled the ball and started quickly to complete a frontal breakthrough.
After all, Randall is a power forward, and his movement speed is not as fast as Xu Tian's. He turned around to chase, but he was pulled away half a body.
George Hill hurried over, trying to get a good position while moving laterally, trying to make Xu Tian an offensive foul.
Xu Tian had a wide field of vision. Seeing George Hill's movements, Europe stepped past him.
Myles Turner suffered a few times and didn't dare to make up for defense. He stuck McGee behind him tightly and prevented him from receiving the ball.
The Pacers had only two defensive players on the outside, leaving Nance Jr. empty. He wanted to make amends, but found that Xu Tian had already passed the ball.
Nance Jr. steadied the basketball, pulled up the open space in the paint, and shot decisively from the mid-range!
The basketball bounced a few times on the rim and fell into the net safely!
34-14!
After finishing her work in the jewelry store, Alice returned home and turned on the TV. When she happened to see the score, she was a little surprised.She has been able to understand the NBA recently. She has learned about the Pacers in advance. She knows that this team has only lost one game in the past ten games.
Boss Jin is busy preparing a new Chinese restaurant recently, and has no time to watch the game, so Alice has no place to ask what's going on.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Pacers by 42 points in a single quarter with a score of 17-25.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Louis Williams and Ian Mahinmi led the team against the second team of the Lakers led by George and Kobe, but they stabilized the balance of power and gradually narrowed the point difference.
When the gap was narrowed to 17 points, Xu Tian, who had rested for more than five minutes, went into battle again.
When Pacers fans saw Xu Tian on the field, they unconsciously became nervous and worried for the home team.
Frank Vogel was originally sitting and watching the game. When he saw Xu Tian appearing on the stage, he couldn't control himself and walked to the sidelines, watching the game without saying a word.
As the best inside player in this game, McGee also got a chance to play.Scott's idea is very simple, he just wants to win the Pacers in a short time.
