The first thing Scott did when he returned to the locker room was to ask Bryant how his coaching experience was.
Kobe enjoyed this feeling very much, but there was something he didn't like, that is, under careful observation, except for Xu Tian, every Lakers player could find a bunch of problems on both offensive and defensive ends, which made him a little uncomfortable.This is the drawback of being a superstar coach, and Kobe can't get rid of it.
Xu Tian played for a long time in the first half, but he was much more comfortable than when he first played against the Spurs. The consumption on both ends of the offense and defense was very small, but he attached great importance to the maintenance of physical strength. He sat on the chair in the locker room and tried to keep calm. Look at the different reactions of everyone in the locker room.
The sound from the Spurs locker room was transmitted intermittently to the visiting team's locker room, and it was impossible to hear it completely, which made Nick Young more curious.It's because of his personality that it's hard to stay fully focused.
George is asking Kobe about the details of defensive post-up singles. He believes that the defensive performance in the first half was not good enough, and there are still some things that can be improved.
Kobe said: "Post-up defense does not start from the top defense, but starts from grabbing the position, trying to push the opponent out of the comfort zone, and then use the strength to get him stuck there. This kind of defense can be successful in all likelihood. This This method is often used by Xu."
George couldn't figure out the difference between him and Xu Tian's defense. When he heard Kobe's call, he felt suddenly enlightened.He went on to ask more details, and Kobe answered them one by one.
Scott did not intervene in the players' respective adjustments and preparations, and Mark Madsen looked at the technical statistics to refine the rotation time of the role players in the second half so that the lineup can maintain continuity.Kobe is more suitable for commanding Xu Tian and George, and his grasp of the rotation time of other players is not as good as that of the coaching staff.
The intermission was only 10 minutes. After a short break, the players on both sides trotted back to the field to continue the game.
In the third quarter, both sides played the desired effect, but due to the decline in physical strength compared to the first half, the efficiency declined.
Xu Tian stood out in such a big environment, only missed two shots, and continued to maintain high efficiency.
The Spurs still grasped the stage of Xu Tianxia's rest, and evened out the gap opened by Xu Tian's team.At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was only one point, and they were still on the same starting line.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xu Tian didn't stay on the court, but sat on the sidelines to rest. For some reason, since he experienced two losses, his mentality has made a qualitative leap, and he is no longer as afraid of failure as before.Although I still have a paranoid desire for victory, I really no longer worry about failure.
After a long rest, Nick Young finally recovered his form. With the help of George to attract the defense, he scored three goals in a row and helped the team gain a certain lead, allowing Xu Tian to sit on the sidelines and rest for a longer period of time.
Popovich knew that he needed to rely on the second team to expand his advantage, so he was very dissatisfied with their performance, and rarely burst into foul language.
Ginobili realized his shame and was brave, making continuous breakthroughs and frequent European layups, helping the Spurs to overtake the score and gradually establish a leading advantage.
Kobe looked at the remaining time and felt that there was no need to let Xu Tian rest, so he called him to his side and replaced Warren for the game.
Kawhi Leonard is the new core player of the Spurs, but the main task of this round of the series is to defend Xu Tian, return to the court at the same time with him, and then defend.
When the score is close, the quality of the star is the most tested. Only a star who can perform at such a critical moment is eligible to be called a superstar.
Xu Tian ignored the double-teaming of the two, turned over and leaned back, and drifted a stretched jumper!
Swish!
unstoppable!
Popovich looked at the statistics table, Xu Tian's shooting rate in this game reached 69%, which is basically equivalent to the shooting rate of inside players.This kind of efficient performance will give people the illusion that Kawhi Leonard's defense is not so good.
Kawhi Leonard knows better than anyone else that it's not that his defense is not strong enough, but that Xu Tian's ability to seize opportunities and feel on the offensive end is too good to be restricted.He did everything he could, but nothing worked.
Looking at Xu Tian with a confident expression on his face, Popovich realized that his mentality was much calmer than at the beginning of the series, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.Xu Tian like this has really entered another level, far more than a simple superstar.
Xu Tian broke through from the left and attracted three people to defend. He passed the ball to McGee who was running towards the penalty area without looking at anyone!
McGee took the ball with his right hand, raised fire to the sky, and dunked hard!
85-84, the Lakers lead by one point!
Mike Breen said: "Xu combines touch, vision, agility, strength, agility, golf quotient, hard work and many other excellent qualities, coupled with his incomprehensible performance on the court, he will definitely become a small fan in the future. idols in their hearts.”
Mark Jackson said: "I don't agree with this sentence. I think he is now a player who can influence countless small fans. It is true that Xu was a bastard at the beginning of the season, but when his influence gradually increased, his His personality has become more mellow, and he didn’t just think about making money, but helped people in need more. These are enough to make him a high-quality idol.”
Stan Van Gundy said: "I rarely pay attention to the off-court reports of players, but I know a little about Xu's deeds and know that he is a pure basketball player."
Kawhi Leonard breaks through with the ball, slightly sinks his shoulders and pushes away George, who is defending him single-handedly, and makes an emergency stop for a mid-range shot!
The basketball flew into the air, causing the camera lens to follow, and the timer and the scoreboard in the distance appeared in the lens.
Basketball, hollow into the net!
96-95, 4 minutes and 16 seconds!
Xu Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt amid boos from the audience, the confidence in his expression disappeared and was replaced by calmness.Anyone who is familiar with him knows that this is a sign that he has truly entered the game state.
Kobe was even more nervous than when he played the game himself. Looking at Xu Tian who bent over to dribble, he didn't know how he would complete the attack.
Duncan hardly encountered the peak Jordan in his career, and his memory is a bit vague, but after this series, he always felt that Xu Tian was somewhat similar to Jordan, but completely different.This feeling made him feel very strange.
Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green's tough upper body confrontation still failed to interfere with Xu Tian's dribbling rhythm, and he was finally found to shoot.
Danny Green is not as resolute as Kawhi Leonard, he was almost defeated by Xu Tian's incomprehensible attack, and he fouled unconsciously.
Xu Tian's core strength is quite strong, he was not interrupted by Danny Green's level of thug foul, and he shot easily according to his muscle habits!
Bullet box hit!
The referee blew his whistle, made a penalty gesture, gave Danny Green a foul, and sent Xu Tian to the line for a free throw!
