Chapter 490 Eclipse
There is a camera behind the Spurs bench, which records the shots of Popovich arranging tactics and broadcasts them through the TV broadcast.
Popovich looked at the players sitting on the bench and said: "Keep running! Keep up the intensity! Don't be afraid of fouls, this is a men's sport, let Xu Tian feel your attitude, don't give him easy goals possible. He is a tough guy, you have to be tougher than him..."
Xu Tian tied the rope of his trousers tightly, walked back to the court with a calm expression, looked at the time, and then stood on the free throw line to execute Aldridge's two free throws for rebounding fouls.
The Spurs booed neatly at home and gave it to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian has a relaxed expression, adjusts his habitual dribbling, and makes free throws steadily!
all hit!
99-93, 5 minutes and 09 seconds!
Ginobili replaced Tony Parker and added a little height to try to better deal with Xu Tian's defense.
Xu Tian didn't defend the whole court anymore, and stood at the top of the arc, waiting for Ginobili who dribbled slowly.He knows Ginobili's style of play, the defensive strategy is different.
Ginobili is not as tall as Xu Tian, but his offensive skills are more varied, and he doesn't have too much pressure when facing Xu Tian.
Xu Tian looked at the offensive positions of the Spurs players from the corner of his eye, and roughly judged their tactics, knew how to defend, and stood in front of Ginobili's left, slightly restricting his dominant hand.
Ginobili's attack from the right was also good, and he directly chose to break through, but facing Xu Tian's pursuit and defense, it seemed a bit difficult. The European step couldn't fully get up, and Xu Tian held down the basketball in his hand.
The referee blows the whistle and the two sides scramble for the ball!
Ginobili knew that this was their home court, so he ran over to argue with the referee, indicating that Xu Tian had committed a foul while defending.This kind of language implies that even if the penalty cannot be changed, it can virtually make the referee pay more attention to Xu Tian and catch some fouls that are easily overlooked.
Xu Tian is younger than Ginobili, his legs are more energetic, and he takes off easily, helping the Lakers win the ball.
George received the ball, did not stay, and passed it back to Xu Tian on the right, allowing him to advance to the frontcourt.
Xu Tian accelerated suddenly, tricked Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green who wanted to double-team, slowed down again, pointed his left index finger to the sky, and wanted to play a personal singles tactic.This is a tactic that all opponents know, but he does not shy away from it.
Seeing Xu Tian being so confident, Popovich put on a smile on the corner of his mouth.He likes this kind of player who is not afraid of challenges, even if the player is not under his command.
Danny Green saw Xu Tian's yelling gesture, so he didn't defend Nick Young again, and cooperated with Kawhi Leonard to double-team Xu Tian.This is all they can do. As for whether they can prevent it, it still needs to be tested by the results.
Xu Tian used his tyrannical strength to forcefully dribble the ball to the free throw line, ignoring the double-team defense of the two.The golden rooster is independent and a fadeaway jumper!
Kobe looked at Xu Tian who turned around early to celebrate and the basketball that hit the net in response, and he didn't know how to make an expression.Xu Tian is really too strong, a bit stronger than he expected.
The Spurs were almost silent at home.
Popovich looked at Xu Tian, who was calm in the face of boos from the audience, and regretted not discovering his talent earlier.Players of this level are rare in many years.
The mentality of the Spurs players is more stable than that of ordinary team players. They rely on cooperation to maintain tactical operations, advance to the frontcourt, and infiltrate the Lakers' defensive formation.
Xu Tian first deciphered Popovich's pre-arranged tactics in his mind, rushed out with a diagonal stab, and completed a steal.
Popovich kept his eyes on Xu Tian, knowing that his defense this time was more due to prediction, so he shook his head helplessly, and then let the game continue.He knows that his defense has basically reached the extreme. If he can't achieve good results, it won't improve much if he calls a timeout.
The Spurs focused their defensive attention on Xu Tian, which led to a slack in the defensive intensity of other players that continued throughout the game, allowing Nick Young to run out of space once.
Xu Tian's pass passed through the five Spurs players and accurately landed in the hands of Nick Young, helping him score an air cut layup!
Popovich didn't expect to make all the preparations, but he still didn't get good results. He called a timeout and emphasized again not to let players other than Xu Tian go.Now the only way to fight against Xu Tian's personal ability is through teamwork. This is exactly what the two teams are good at. As for who will win the final victory, he doesn't know.
Feeling the continuous heat around his body, Xu Tian knew that he had completely entered the competition state just now, and basically forgot the discomfort brought by the environment.
Scott carefully arranges offensive and defensive tactics, but more points are indeed concentrated on Xu Tian, allowing him to maintain a high degree of freedom and play more comfortably on both offensive and defensive ends.This is a privilege given to superstars, not every player can enjoy it.
The Spurs home fans thought that the team would be able to defeat the Lakers with two away wins, and they all came to the scene to watch the game with anticipation.Now being given the lead by the Lakers, they feel a huge psychological gap and are a little overwhelmed.
The Spurs' rigorous offense encountered the Lakers' tough one-on-one defense, and it was a bit difficult to operate.In the end, it can only be handed over to Aldridge on the inside, and let him open the situation with his personal ability.
The game has come to the playoff stage, and superstars are the key to the outcome of the game.The widely circulated "Superstars are not omnipotent, but without superstars is absolutely impossible." It can more or less reflect the importance of stars in the playoffs.
Aldridge played back singles against Josh Smith, and he was not dominant in the strength confrontation. He turned around and made a fadeaway jumper, trying a difficult shot.
The temperature in the stadium was too high, causing the players to consume more energy than usual. Even on the Spurs side with fans on the bench, the players were not spared.
When Aldridge landed, his left foot was a little unstable, and the muscles of his calf suddenly gathered together, causing severe cramps.Unable to bear the pain, he fell to the floor and held the calf of his left leg with both hands.
Tyson Chandler took off continuously, grabbed the basketball that Aldridge missed, and then passed it to Xu Tian, allowing him to push back.
Ginobili saw Aldridge fell to the ground in pain, didn't think about whether he would send Xu Tian to the free throw line, and directly fouled, making the game a dead ball.In this way, team doctors and trainers can enter the field to check on Aldridge's status.
The Spurs trainer touched Aldridge's calf muscle and realized it was just a common cramp, but the muscle tension was high and needed emergency treatment.
The live game entered an official timeout, and this timeout was recorded on the Lakers side.
