Chapter 415 You Can't Win a Game
Xu Tian has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.The dribble was fully activated, and facing Howard's defense, he made a direct gesture to dunk.
Howard naturally refused to give Xu Tian such an opportunity. He exerted strength with both arms at the same time, and hit Xu Tian with a slightly dirty movement.Two stars with strong core strength collided in the air.
BI~!
The referee whistled and whistled for Howard's thug foul!
Xu Tian's core strength is extremely strong, even after being fouled by Howard, he still maintained his figure.The basketball was thrown by him at will, hit the rebound, and bounced into the net.
Howard couldn't get used to Xu Tian, and made additional moves again, knocking Xu Tian to the floor.
Xu Tian's entire back touched the ground, and he felt an unusual pain. With force from both hands, he bounced off the floor directly.Originally, he wanted to do it directly, but was pulled away by George behind him.
The referee quickly blew his whistle, rushed between Howard and Xu Tian, and separated the two to avoid further development of the situation.
Xu Tian is smarter than Howard, knowing what he means to the Lakers, he took the initiative to turn around and retreat to the top of the arc, and stopped arguing with Howard.
The three referees got together and decided to watch the slow-motion replay to determine the penalty for this conflict.This is a very critical playoffs, and this kind of thing cannot be ignored.
After the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the NBA has issued regulations that bench players cannot step on the court when a conflict occurs, otherwise they will be banned from the game.So Kobe just stood on the sidelines and didn't come over to communicate with Xu Tian.
George has played in the playoffs several times and has a lot of experience. He hurried to Xu Tian's side to communicate with him.He knows that Xu Tian is not easy to deal with, and many players think he can't be messed with, so he must be appeased.
Xu Tian responded to George's comfort, the two clapped hands, and then stood near the top of the arc, quietly waiting for the referee's penalty.
The big screen above the Staples Center played the slow-motion replay just now.The staff of the replay center communicated with the referee and determined that Howard should be punished for a first-level malicious foul.
After the referee was confirmed, he turned around and made a penalty. Xu Tian's two points were valid, and he also had an additional penalty and a chance to attack.
Howard spread his hands innocently, and then stood near the center line to watch Xu Tian make free throws.
Xu Tian stood on the free throw line, moved his neck, took the ball from the referee with both hands, adjusted his dribble, and made a steady free throw.
Basketball, hollow into the net!
7-5!
Lakers frontcourt ball!
Anthony Brown walked to the sideline, took the ball from the referee, raised the ball above his head with both hands, and passed it to Xu Tian with a high lob.
Ariza wanted to compete with Xu Tian for the possession of the ball, but the bullet speed was far apart, so there was no chance.After landing, the ground was a bit unclean, and he wanted to use his feet to prevent Xu Tian from landing.
Xu Tian's dynamic eyesight is so keen, he naturally noticed Ariza's movements, avoided his right foot with both feet, and landed smoothly.Move back off the dribble, get away from him a little bit, and set the offense.
Seeing that the trick outside the plate failed, Ariza lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and stared at Xu Tian intently.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball with his right hand, and with a smile on his face, he said, "You guys can't win a game!"
Ariza was too concentrated and didn't hear what Xu Tian said clearly, so he subconsciously asked, "What?"
"I said, you can't win even one game in this round of the series." Xu Tian repeated it word by word.
Ariza sneered, "You'd better remember what you said."
Xu Tian also smiled, stopped choking, lowered the height of the dribble again, increased the frequency, changed the direction in front of his body and instantly increased his speed, and directly passed Ariza who was trying hard to mark.
Every time Ariza defended Xu Tian, the result was like this. It was inevitable that he was a little frustrated. He grabbed Xu Tian's arm behind his back and wanted to foul vigorously.
Xu Tian's body fat rate is only 3.5%, and his weight of 105 kg is almost all muscle. With Ariza's strength, he was still carried forward for a while even though he did it deliberately.
Ariza clearly knew that he was not at the same level as Xu Tian, but he was one of the Rockets' best defensive perimeter players, so he could only defend Xu Tian.
The referee blew his whistle and called Arizara a foul.
Anthony Brown served Xu Tian again from the sideline.
Xu Tian took the ball at the top of the arc and made a move with his left hand, allowing Josh Smith to come up to cover.
Josh Smith also admires Xu Tian very much. Whether it is on or off the court, he has learned a lot from him. When he saw that he called the pick-and-roll tactic, he immediately mentioned the top of the arc, blocked Ariza firmly, and let Tren Jones defends Xu Tian.
Terrence Jones looked at Xu Tian nervously, completely unable to figure out how he wanted to complete the attack.
Xu Tian broke through quickly, came to a stop near the free throw line, switched to a post-up mode, and singled out Terrence Jones who was in charge of defense.
What Ariza needs to defend is Josh Smith. Knowing that his shooting is not very accurate, he decisively goes up to double-team Xu Tian.
Xu Tian ignored the defense of the two, turned over and leaned back, and shot a jumper directly.
The basketball draws a super high arc and enters the net hollow!
9-5!
Although D'Angelo Russell's emotional intelligence is not high, he has a good personality. After listening to his big brother Harden, he took the initiative to pass the ball sent to him by Howard to Harden.
Howard was not satisfied with D'Angelo Russell's handling, but before he could complain, he was fouled by Anthony Brown next to him.He swallowed the words that rushed to his lips.
With a wave of his hand, Bickerstaff called Clint Capela to his side and told him to replace Howard.The Lakers are obviously targeting Howard. If they continue to play like this, the Rockets will not last until the third quarter.
The Lakers inside players have been fighting against Howard with all their strength, which made his muscles tense. The two free throws were a bit strong and failed to hit.
Terrence Jones was in the right position of the basketball. He accidentally got an offensive rebound and was about to pass it to his teammate on the outside, only to find that the ball was intercepted by the Lakers.
Xu Tian is the double king of assists and steals in the regular season. In addition to relying on dynamic vision, the prediction of the movement of the ball is also an important factor.He didn't rush to promote the fast break, slowed down the rhythm, and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.
Ariza lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, and before he could figure out how to defend, he immediately saw Xu Tian dribble over for a singles.
Xu Tian's post-up singles are extremely stable, coupled with almost terrifying strength, Ariza retreated steadily, and soon advanced to the free throw line.
Howard couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to leave the restricted area, wanting to help block Xu Tian.
Seeing Howard's movements, George turned over and got rid of Harden who was marking him, and ran directly to the basket.
People arrive at the ball!
Alley-oop Dunk!
11-5!
As soon as Howard left the penalty area, the Lakers made an easy alley-oop goal.
Scott was quite satisfied with the execution of the players. He stood on the sidelines and applauded himself to celebrate.
