Chapter 489 Mature
Relying on their physical strength, the Spurs were able to gradually recover the point difference. With six and a half minutes left in the game, the two sides returned to the same starting line.
With a big wave of Scott's hand, Xu Tian goes into battle!
Clarkson felt as if he had run a long marathon, his palms were covered with sweat, he high-fived Xu Tian, and returned to the bench panting.His jersey seemed to have been washed and stuck to his body wet, making him afraid to sit back on the bench.
Xu Tian encountered two Spurs defenders in the backcourt again, but he had more physical strength, ran back twice to throw off the defenders, and received the serve from Josh Smith.
The Spurs home fans were most afraid of Xu Tian taking the ball, and immediately booed him neatly, trying to interfere with him as much as possible.Many of them have watched football for many years, and they know that Xu Tian's ability is no less than that of Kobe, so they want to target him with all their strength.
Xu Tian is a player with a slightly rebellious character. He prefers the boos of the away game to the support of the crowd at home.The sound gives him an extra dose of blood, the urge to eat the home team alive.
Kawhi Leonard did a good job of restricting Xu Tian in the first two games, but he always felt powerless in this game.He didn't know whether to defend the breakthrough or the defensive shot, and he didn't know how Xu Tian would complete the attack. Such uncertainty made him a little lost.
Josh Smith mentioned the top of the arc, slightly delaying Kawhi Leonard's defense and creating space for Xu Tian to break through.In the past, Xu Tian didn't have the ability to seize this kind of breakthrough opportunity, but after returning yesterday, he was able to make a breakthrough with the help of a small space.
Xu Tian once again used the rhythm to break through the Spurs' siege, and the only one standing in front of him was Duncan who stood in advance.
Duncan has a good defensive habit and won't lose his position easily, but he doesn't like to take off very much, so he often becomes the opponent's background board.This time, there is no exception.
Xu Tian took off easily, stretched his right hand forward, and dexterously picked the basket and threw it!
Duncan tried to jump up to block the shot, but his fingertips were some distance away from the basketball, so he had no choice but to become the background.
Soft to the touch and a hollow hit!
95-93, 6 minutes and 11 seconds!
Popovich stood on the sidelines, watching Tony Parker's performance against Xu Tian's defense.
Tony Parker is a small guard. Facing the tall Xu Tian, he has great offensive pressure, but relatively, it is easier to protect the ball than a normal-sized guard.This is essential to face Xu Tian, otherwise it is easy to be robbed.
Xu Tian lowered his center of gravity and exerted a slight physical confrontation to prevent Tony Parker from directly using his speed to break through.
Aldridge mentioned the top of the arc and formed a short cover. Before blocking Xu Tian, he began to run towards the penalty area.
The communication between Tony Parker and Aldridge was not good, thinking that he would block Xu Tian for him, he took advantage of the situation and started to break through, but encountered Xu Tian's pursuit and defense while walking.He was covered by Xu Tian, and he couldn't find a space to shoot.
Xu Tian's defense was flawless, not only limiting Tony Parker's shots, but also cutting off his connection with his teammates by virtue of his height and wingspan.
Tony Parker didn't have a good solution. He took the initiative to fight with his body, trying to create a blocking foul for Xu Tian.
Xu Tian's physical confrontation was better than Tony Parker's. He stretched out his right hand and directly blocked the basketball he wanted to throw.
The basketball moves freely and is not touched by any player during the roll.
Time did not stop, and the Spurs violated the 24-second offense.
Popovich has always known how good Xu Tian's defense is, so he didn't blame his disciples, and told the players to retreat quickly, so as not to give the Lakers a chance to counterattack.
Xu Tian spared no effort to get rid of the double-team by running, received the serve again, and quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green did not form a solid double-team, but Xu Tian used his strength to force a squeeze, and a large space appeared.Reappearing from the back-to-forward dribble, Xu Tian instantly accelerated past the defense of the two and directly hit the Spurs penalty area.
Duncan and Aldridge thought that Xu Tian could not pass the ball, so they rushed out to delay Xu Tian's attack.
Josh Smith made an early run toward the basket, and when he got there, he took off.He didn't know if Xu Tian could see him, but he decided to give it a try.
People arrive at the ball!
Alley-oop!
97-93, 5 minutes and 28 seconds!
The Spurs cheered in unison at home to help the players, trying to get them to find an offensive feel.
Tony Parker didn't try to challenge Xu Tian anymore, but chose to pass the ball to Kawhi Leonard to play the key offense.Although it is not the last moment at this time, the Spurs want to start the offense as soon as possible and need to rely on the current star.
Kawhi Leonard dribbles with his back and singles George who is defending behind him.He expended a lot of energy on the defensive end, and his jersey was also soaked in sweat. Every movement would bring up a few drops of sweat.
George didn't care about this influence, and used all his strength to defend against Kawhi Leonard.
This group of matchups is a duel between stars, and everyone else is pulled away, and it depends entirely on individual ability.
Kawhi Leonard felt George's defensive dynamics with his back, found the most comfortable feeling, and turned over for a fadeaway jumper.
The basketball went straight to the basket, but unfortunately, it bounced out again.
The four inside players from both sides competed for positions in the penalty area, jumping one after another to fight for the basketball that bounced into the air. Due to their mutual restraint, the four players did not take off enough.
Xu Tian turned around and passed Danny Green's block, rushed to the penalty area quickly, and got the defensive rebound first.
Unwilling to give up the rebound, Aldridge countered and patted Xu Tian's cheek with his right hand.
Xu Tian was physically strong, but his nose still felt sore when he was photographed, so he fell on the floor to relieve his strength to avoid being injured later.He always has a heart defense against Aldridge, otherwise he may be injured and unable to play the game.
The referee whistled and Aldridge was fouled for rebounding!
The cumulative number of fouls committed by the Spurs has reached. This foul sent Xu Tian to the free throw line.
Popovich realized that Xu Tian's state of mind was more stable than most of the players on the field, and his strength was strong. If they let it go, their hopes of winning would be wiped out.Although he didn't want Xu Tian to rest, he still called a timeout.
The sweat on Xu Tian's face continued to trickle down to his chin, converging into sweat drops, then detached from his chin, and fell vertically to the floor.
Thackeray did not lose his temper due to the temperature of the venue, took a few towels from the caddy and distributed them to several players on the court.
Xu Tian wiped off the sweat from his face with a towel, feeling his face was as hot as a fever.He knew that if he had a mirror to look at, he would be able to see his flushed face, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he quickly drank a few mouthfuls of salt water to replenish the lost salt in his body.
