Chapter 477 Growing up in adversity
Kobe has played in the top professional league for [-] years, and he has also played countless against the wind. However, he did not enlighten Xu Tian, but let Xu Tian grow up in adversity.He believes that Xu Tian's state of mind is mature enough, and he can definitely survive this crisis.
Xu Tian adjusted his whole body equipment, without saying a word, walked out of the locker room first, trotted through the player tunnel, and ran back to the brightly lit stadium.There are not only media workers, but also nearly [-] fans full of expectations.
Barkley and Kenny Smith are still analyzing the game to help the lagging Lakers and see if there is any way to recover the score.The nature of their work is not to favor the Lakers.
Xu Tian took off the warm-up suit, handed it to the caddy standing on the sidelines, touched the bracelet on his right hand, stretched his leg muscles briefly, and walked back to the court to prepare for the game.
The Spurs had the right to attack for the first time in the second and third quarters. Duncan served from the backcourt and handed it over to Tony Parker to launch the first attack in the second half.
Xu Tian's eyes were no longer calm, and there was a strange light in them, staring intently at Tony Parker who was dribbling over, his center of gravity dropped to the lowest.
Aldridge raised the top of the arc and formed the first screen to help Tony Parker block Xu Tian.This is the power of the team, and it cannot be easily broken by individuals.
Tony Parker broke through the screen, led Josh Smith's defense, and broke into the paint.
Josh Smith has a physical talent no less than Xu Tian, but the defensive end has not changed enough, and he has always maintained a high speed. Tony Parker used a change of rhythm to get rid of it and lost his defensive position.
Tony Parker made an emergency stop in the paint area, threw another shot, performed a good show, and made a hollow hit with the basketball!
46-69!
Xu Tian didn't stand in the backcourt, but started to run, using the cover, looking for space to catch the ball.
Josh Smith received the serve first, and then passed the ball to Xu Tian while moving.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball behind his back, avoided the Spurs' unformed pinch, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt with a relaxed expression, changed direction directly in front of his body, and passed through Aldridge's defense.
Aldridge's movement speed was far inferior to Xu Tian's. He chased and defended from behind, but the distance was stretched farther and farther.
Xu Tian made an emergency stop with one step inside the free throw line, pulled it up with ease, leaned forward in the middle distance, and made a steady hit!
48-69!
Popovich didn't hesitate, and immediately called a timeout, making Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green tighten their nerves, and don't give Xu Tian a chance to find his touch.Now that the Lakers have fewer stars than usual, as long as Xu Tian is resolutely pinched, there is a high chance of winning.
Xu Tian stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, quietly listening to Scott's tactics.He looked at the tactical board, quickly grasped his intentions, and built the model in his head.This is the key to his ability to always find out how to deal with it in advance.
The timeout ended quickly, and amidst the cheers of the fans, the Spurs sent the ball out.
"Defense! Defense!" the Staples fans chanted the words in unison, enshrining their vision in this word and passing it on to the players who worked hard to defend on the court.
Josh Smith seized the opportunity, chased to block a cut layup by Danny Green, successfully completed the defense and protected the rebound.
Xu Tian stuck Danny Glink behind with his strength, and directly shouted a pass to Josh Smith who was holding the ball.He was full of energy, and these words were heard loudly, clearly reaching the ears of the players present.
Josh Smith was stunned for a moment, and seeing Xu Tian grab the position, he quickly passed the ball.He knows who the ace player of the Lakers is, and he knows who to rely on to win.
Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green defended strongly, but they were not as strong as Xu Tian who was holding the ball. The two who were in a disadvantageous position could only make fouls and fight for opportunities to defend again.If you want to defend Xu Tian, you must restrict him from receiving the ball. Once the ball is in his hands, the defense will basically fail.
Xu Tian often encountered savage defenses, fearing that his teeth would be knocked out, so he couldn't chew gum, so naturally he couldn't appear as calm as Jordan.However, he is very relaxed, using his tyrannical body to fight against position grabbing, and he is not afraid of fouls at all.
Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green didn't expect Xu Tian to suddenly and frequently use his strong body. They were a little caught off guard, and the double-teaming front collapsed again.Such a defense obviously cannot satisfy Popovich.
Tyson Chandler lobbed the ball to Xu Tian for him to attack.
Popovich wasn't outraged.He has encountered countless superstars in his coaching career, and he has seen many talented people like Xu Tian. It is clear that he is gradually changing in double-team defense. If he goes further in this kind of game, it will become even more unstoppable.
Xu Tian took half a step back, dribbled behind his back and changed direction, moved diagonally to avoid double-teaming, and dribbled forward to break through.
The Spurs' defense expanded again, deploying the defense line near the center line, delaying Xu Tian and preventing him from starting up.As a result, a huge defensive gap appeared in the half.
Xu Tian passed the ball with his left hand to George who was standing on the left.
Tony Parker hurried over to defend, but was shaken by George's shot fake and quickly lost his defensive position.
Josh Smith hit without the ball, pointed his right hand to the sky, and wanted to make an alley-oop.
George understood and threw the ball near the basket with both hands, leading Josh Smith to take off!
Alley-oop Dunk!
50-69!
Seeing that the defensive tactics were not effective, Popovich immediately called a timeout again, then adjusted the defense and sent Boris Diaw to assist Kawhi Leonard to pinch Xu Tian.At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the confrontation with strength to prevent Xu Tian from crowding out the space with strength.
Duncan raised the basketball with both hands, looked for running teammates on the court, and sent the ball directly.
Tony Parker held the basketball firmly and turned around to get rid of Xu Tian's defense. Before he could get past Xu Tian, he felt light in his hand, and the basketball went nowhere.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball twice while running, received the ball with one step inside the free throw line, held the ball firmly with his right hand, and glided for a one-handed dunk!
52-69!
Popovich folded his arms around his chest, looking at Xu Tian who was expressionless and retreating, his appreciation increased a little.Facing the continuous and high-intensity defense of the Spurs, he not only maintained his mentality, but also has a tendency to develop further.
Duncan is a superstar who has experienced several tough battles. He vaguely felt that this game might change, so he hurried to the frontcourt and set a screen at the top of the arc to help Tony Parker block Xu Tian.
Tony Parker broke through the screen and passed the ball to Boris Diaw on the right.
Boris Diaw has the ability to shoot from the outside, keeps his feet on the ground, and shoots three-pointers!
clang!
Duncan stuck Josh Smith, and by virtue of his position, he took off with his right hand to make a tip-up and put the ball into the basket!
52-71!
When the Spurs are in crisis, Duncan will always stand up silently!
