Chapter 501 Rule
The Spurs fans were quite afraid of Xu Tian's personal ability. When the timeout ended and the players from both sides returned to the field, they booed him neatly.
Xu Tian opened his arms and waved his hands upwards to mobilize the atmosphere of the fans.Sure enough, the decibel of the booing has increased a lot.
Tony Parker received the serve in the backcourt, and the boos stopped.He trotted to the front court with the ball, saw that the defensive player in front of him was Xu Tian, and decisively passed the ball to Ginobili.
Warren guards Ginobili, keeping his center of gravity as low as possible and standing on the front left, limiting his dominant hand to drive the lane.His defensive skills are insufficient, and he must defend in this way to not lose the opportunity.
Ginobili had a clear mind, passed the ball with his right hand, and lobbed it to Kawhi Leonard who was about to be on the right side of the free throw line.
George knew that the Spurs' attack would not be interrupted, so he was mentally prepared, lowered his center of gravity, and tried his best to defend.Although he heard Kobe's suggestion, he was still a little dissatisfied and wanted to challenge the referee again.
Kawhi Leonard turned his back, held the ball with both hands, his right foot was the pivot foot, and his left foot swayed continuously, shaking the nervous George.He originally wanted to lean forward and make a shot, but he was not used to it, he leaned back to the limit, and shot beautifully!
Swish!
106-103, 2 minutes and 14 seconds!
Xu Tian quickly ran towards the baseline, and when the Spurs defense had no time to follow, he received the serve from Josh Smith.He dribbled the ball and ran faster, stopped outside the three-point line on the right side of the front court, took off with all his strength, and flew out for the third consecutive three-point shot!
Three in a row!
109-103, 2 minutes and 01 seconds!
Xu Tian didn't make any celebrations, and quickly retreated to the backcourt, waiting for the Spurs to launch an attack.
Ginobili held the ball in the front court again, hit the ground with his left hand, and passed it to Kawhi Leonard in the key position.
George dragged his tired body, lowered his center of gravity, and defended Kawhi Leonard behind him, not giving him room to easily attack.
Kawhi Leonard held the ball in both hands, and didn't rush to make moves. First, he exerted strength with his legs and felt George's defense with his back.After confirming the strength of the confrontation, without dribbling, turn around and take off, and jump back!
George then jumped up and tried to block the block with all his strength, but he didn't jump high enough and hit Kawhi Leonard's wrist with his right hand.
BI~!
Six criminals graduate!
Kawhi Leonard's shooting hand is very stable. After the basketball is shot, it draws a perfect arc and enters the net hollow!
Kobe called Nick Young to his side and asked him to replace George.
George glanced at the score and time, shook his head slightly, and walked to the sidelines to high-five his teammates who were standing watching the game.
Kawhi Leonard's penalty is a bit strong, and the bullets come out of the box!
McGee takes off and grabs a defensive rebound!
Duncan pops out behind, cuts the ball, and completes a steal.
McGee didn't expect Duncan to be behind him, unable to defend anymore, and made an open layup!
109-107, 1 minutes and 39 seconds!
Xu Tian caught the ball again while running, attracting the three Spurs defenders.
Josh Smith runs to the basket without the ball, jumps to the left, and prepares to complete the lob!
All the fans thought that Xu Tian would make an alley-oop pass, but when they saw that what he was doing was shooting, they were a little surprised.
The basketball pierced the night sky and hit again!
112-107, 1 minutes and 29 seconds!
Stan Van Gundy waited until Mike Breen's passionate commentary passed, and said excitedly: "Xu has hit four consecutive three-pointers, and he feels surprisingly good."
Mark Jackson shook his head and said, "If I were Popovich, I would take the initiative to foul Xu. At least I can guarantee that he will get one less point."
Of course Popovich wouldn't do that.He is an old-school coach with unrivaled tactical reserves, but sometimes he is stubborn and refuses to change easily.
Ginobili felt that Xu Tian's consecutive goals made the Lakers' bench extremely active. He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, pretended to break through to deceive Warren, stepped back and returned to the three-point line to shoot directly.He wants to score a response goal!
The basketball went in half and bounced out again!
McGee grabbed the defensive rebound again.This time he remained vigilant and quickly passed the ball to Xu Tian to avoid being intercepted by the Spurs players again.
Xu Tian received the pass, turned into a golden lightning, passed through the unformed wall of Kawhi Leonard and Ginobili, and ran to the frontcourt with great visual impact.
Both Aldridge and Duncan ran in front of Xu Tian, jumped with all their strength, and stretched out their arms to defend.
Xu Tian's expression was relaxed, and he stopped suddenly with a step outside the three-point line, confidently making a three-pointer!
Unstoppable!
115-107, 1 minutes and 05 seconds!
The Lakers bench is completely boiling!
The towel in Thackeray's hand was thrown directly into the auditorium by him - this was the result of his excessive force.
Popovich couldn't believe what happened in the past few minutes. He was a little dazed and completely forgot to call a timeout.
Tony Parker saw the scores of the two sides and wanted to quickly help the team recover a point difference. He accelerated his dribble and made a breakthrough in a straight line.
Xu Tian followed closely behind, jumped up and blocked Tony Parker's layup!
The basketball hit Aldridge and went straight out of bounds!
Only then did Popovich recall calling a timeout, but unfortunately the ball had already belonged to the Lakers.
Xu Tian remained expressionless, letting the sweat on his face flow down his chin, and quietly walked back to the sidelines.
Mark Jackson said: "To be honest. I think Popovich should consider my suggestion and let the players take the initiative to foul and send Xu Tian to the free throw line, which can save him one point."
Stan Van Gundy said with a smile: "In the period just now, Xu hit five consecutive three-pointers, which is equivalent to dominating the game alone. Such accuracy makes me feel that the times are really about to change."
"It's changed a long time ago," Mark Jackson said. "Since Stephen Curry became the championship, the small ball era has begun."
"I'm not talking about playing style, but that Xu's era is coming."
Mike Breen didn't argue, nor did he agree.He knew it was good to stay neutral at this time, and Mark Jackson would naturally refute Stan Van Gundy.
Holding the tactical board, Popovich was stunned for a moment, and broke the silence with the sentence "I hate three-pointers!"
No one on the Lakers coaching staff laid out tactics, nor did they emphasize any attitude matters.
Xu Tian gritted his braces and stared at the scoreboard above the arena, his face still expressionless.Even after hearing the insults coming from the front row audience, it didn't change at all.
George used to think that his level was not much different from Xu Tian's, but after only a few playoff games, he clearly realized the gap between the two.This made him a little frustrated, but also a little excited. The former was because he realized that his career would be suppressed by Xu Tian, and the latter was because the possibility of competing for the championship really existed.
The referee controlled the entire game, and couldn't blow off Xu Tian's three-pointer at the critical moment, making all efforts futile. Frustrated, he blew the whistle to end the timeout and let the players return to the court to continue the game.
