Chapter 480 Approaching
The Spurs' conduction of the ball was very smooth, and it was finally led to Aldridge, who played McGee in the low post.This is a very targeted offense, which is an extreme test of McGee's defensive ability.
McGee's strength in the lower plate is unstable, and it is very difficult to defend against post-up singles, but he still uses all his strength to try to limit Aldridge.Efforts may not necessarily produce results sometimes, but there is definitely no gain if you don't work hard.
Aldridge turned around and wanted to crush McGee for a layup with strength, but he ignored the confrontation scale allowed in the playoffs and failed to push McGee.
McGee has the top-notch flexibility among the centers, slightly staggered his position, took off on the spot, and blocked Aldridge's shot with one hand.This was a very morale-boosting defense, and the ball was directly patted into Xu Tian's hands.
Xu Tian turned around and wanted to push for a counterattack, but the Spurs players had quick eyesight and quick hands, and directly blocked him with a foul.They would rather do this than let Xu Tian show any performance.
Scott also felt a little frustrated with the Spurs' resolute defense. Fortunately, the overall offense has improved slightly, which is acceptable.
Nick Young served from the sideline of the backcourt and gave it to George, who dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
George touched the jersey with his left hand, wiped the sweat off his palm, and slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to organize the team's offense.
Nick Young and McGee once again cooperated with off-ball screens and ran out of space to attract the Spurs' defensive attention.
Duncan and Aldridge stand in the paint, eyeing McGee down the stretch, ready to defend before he starts.
Josh Smith got an open chance, received a pass from George, and pulled up a mid-range shot!
Clang, hit the iron!
Xu Tian realized in advance that Josh Smith's shooting line was not right, so he quickly rushed to the penalty area, took the lead to get the basketball, and directly made a tip-up.
Aldridge didn't want to give Xu Tian an easy chance to score, so he directly fouled and sent him to the free throw line.
Xu Tian's core strength is strong, and he was not affected by Aldridge's foul. He landed smoothly and was about to execute two free throws.
The fans in the Staples Center didn't make any noise, kept quiet and watched Xu Tian make free throws.
Xu Tian adjusted his breathing, shot easily, and made two free throws!
62-75!
The Lakers fans released the suppressed enthusiasm in their bodies to their heart's content.They knew that the momentum of the game was shifting to the Lakers again.
The situation was just as the fans thought, but the Lakers failed to further narrow the point difference. The two sides maintained a point difference of more than ten points until the second half of the fourth quarter.
Xu Tian rested for more than three minutes, tried his best to adjust his physical strength, and appeared again with 5 minutes and 23 seconds left in the fourth quarter to continue the game against the Spurs.
Kawhi Leonard also returned to the court, and then took the trouble to defend.
Aldridge hit McGee with his back, turned around and made a fallback jumper, and made a steady hit!
85-97, the Spurs lead by 12 points!
Xu Tian didn't wait for the Spurs players to defend, and started to move in the backcourt directly, receiving the serve from Nance Jr.
Kawhi Leonard's defense lost the opportunity, and he had no choice but to lower his center of gravity and defend in a way he was better at.It's just that he didn't expect that Xu Tian rushed towards him directly.
Bang, BI~!
The referee whistled and whistled Kawhi Leonard to block the foul. As the team's cumulative foul count had reached, Xu Tian went directly to the free throw line.And Kawhi Leonard's personal fouls have accumulated to five times.
Popovich was well aware of Kawhi Leonard's potential foul crisis, realized that Kawhi Leonard had fouled five times, called him to the sidelines, and asked him to pay attention to his defensive actions.
Xu Tian stood at the free throw line and made two free throws, both of which were made!
87-97!
Tony Parker received the serve, faced Xu Tian's defense, and immediately passed the ball to Ginobili, allowing him to dribble the ball across the half.
Xu Tian followed Tony Parker, came to the top of the arc on the right, and stood watching his teammates' defensive movements.
The Spurs once again chose to believe in the strength of the inside and passed the ball to Duncan to let him open the situation.
Duncan played a long time in this game, and his physical strength was a bit unsustainable. He didn't carry Tyson Chandler with his back, and passed the ball out to Kawhi Leonard to attack.
Kawhi Leonard played back singles with the ball, ignoring George, who was defending behind him, turned over and made a jumper.
He has proven his worth!
87-99!
Most of the fans at Staples Center were on their feet, watching the game nervously, completely forgetting to cheer the players on.
The Cavaliers where James belongs will have a game tomorrow night. Sitting on the sofa watching the game, he unconsciously supports the Spurs.He didn't like Xu Tian very much, so he could find a position easily.
From time to time, fans cheered or sighed from the TV, reminding the fans watching TV whether the Lakers scored or not.
Kawhi Leonard did a good job of controlling fouls and never got his sixth foul. He cooperated with Ginobili to restrain Xu Tian.But this gave Nick Young a chance to perform. He made four consecutive shots and scored [-] points individually, helping the team narrow the point difference to five points.
Xu Tian glanced at the scoreboard above the stadium, checked the remaining time of the game, lowered his center of gravity to the lowest, and looked at Tony Parker who was dribbling over.Part of his gaze is on the basketball, anticipating who he's going to pass the ball to.
Boss Kim looked at the time. With 1 minute and 11 seconds left in the game, the Lakers 99-104 the Spurs. The suspense still exists, and it depends on whether the Lakers can grasp it.
Barkley explained: "Tony Parker didn't choose to pass the ball, he started to dribble and drive! Whoa! Xu stole the basketball directly from him, dribbled the ball quickly to the front court, and he shot a chasing three-pointer! "
Kenny Smith answered: "Yes! He made it! Xu hit a key three-pointer!"
102-104, 56 seconds!
Crowds at the Staples Center were boiling, shouting MVP in unison, celebrating Xu Tian's three-point goal.
Popovich made a tactical gesture on the sidelines, signaling Tony Parker to suppress the offensive rhythm, don't worry, and don't make mistakes.
Xu Tian stood inside the three-point line, lowered his center of gravity, and marked Tony Parker.
Tony Parker did not initiate a breakthrough again, passed the ball to Ginobili, and continued to pull away Xu Tian's defense.
Duncan mentioned the top of the arc, played a pick-and-roll with Ginobili, and blocked Nick Young, who was in charge of defense.
Ginobili made a breakthrough with the spirit snake, European step blitz in the paint, evaded Josh Smith's pursuit, left-handed throw, and rebound shot!
clang!
McGee was eager to protect the defensive rebound, and before the basketball left the ring, he took it directly into his hands!
The referee whistles, and the defense interferes with the ball!
102-106, 38.2 seconds!
Xu Tian received the ball while running in the backcourt, dribbled the ball diagonally to the frontcourt, and called two inside players to pick and roll at the top of the arc.
McGee and Josh Smith stood on both sides of Kawhi Leonard, blocking him firmly without giving any chance to move laterally.
Xu Tian stepped back to the left, faced Ginobili's defense, and made a three-pointer!
The goal that was not scored in the last game flew back this time!
