The strongest basket king

Chapter 54 Reigning the Rebound
It’s fine if you really can’t win the fight, Xiang Chu gets angry when you don’t have the fighting spirit, if you don’t want to fight, give the chance to those who want to fight, okay?

Xiang Chu's words during the intermission were loud, and the atmosphere of the team suddenly became tense. Fortunately, two coaches controlled the scene, otherwise there might be troubles. He is usually so arrogant on social media that some people can't understand him.

But Tristan Thompson patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Xiang, if I like you, even if it's entertainment, you have to win the game."

O'Neill also came over to get active, and he said to Xiang Chu: "Young man, there is no need to be so serious. There is no conflict with winning with a smile. It's not that you don't want to win, but you haven't grasped the scale well. In this regard, you have to learn to be positive. The old guy in the game."

Xiang Chu suddenly showed his trademark silly smile, and O'Neill felt that he had said something wrong.

At the beginning of the second half, Griffin scored 4 points in a row, and he seemed a little annoyed by Xiang Chu's words.

With his strength, scoring points in the rookie game must be as easy as picking something out of a bag, but his current status no longer wants to exert his strength in the rookie game.

He and Jeremy Lin also left the field soon, but this time he performed better and looked at Xiang Chu when he left the field. Jeremy Lin also scored the only 2 points.

In the second half, Irving still made consecutive hits and was unstoppable. It was not easy to defend him one-on-one, and O'Neal's inside line was not a master of defense. Of course, it was impossible to defend too much in the rookie game.

What is depressing is that the O'Neal team not only fell behind, but also did not perform so well. Barkley's Paul George, Hayward and others often dunked.

The score gap has been hovering around 10 points, but there was a moment when the pure first-year team approached the score. Norris Cole, Kemba Walker, Markieff Morris, Tristan Thompson and Xiang Chu's combination is the most efficient.

After Xiang Chu went to rest, Monroe also performed well, but Barkley's lead was slightly expanded.

Rebounds are too important in a game without a defensive system, and Xiang Chu is the pinnacle of the sea when he is there.

When the time came to the last 5 minutes, the two sides fought more and more seriously, and the decisive moment came.

The Barkley team temporarily leads by 6 points. At this time, there is no doubt that both sides want to win.

The players on the field are also the top ten players with the best performance and the strongest desire to win.

The Barkley team is a combination of Irving and Wall double champions, plus Turner, Paul George and Cousins.

The O'Neal team didn't want to play because of the two starters. At this time, the lineup was completely different from the starters. It became Kemba Walker, Brandon Knight, Tristan Thompson, Monroe and Xiang Chu.

They still don't have a three in this lineup, but Tristan Thompson has the speed to defend the three.

"Brandon Knight missed a three-pointer, Xiang Chu grabbed the offensive rebound, the ball was in Knight's hands, and still missed... My God, Xiang Chu rebounded again, received the ball again, and Knight Finally hit."

"Being successively grabbed offensive rebounds by Xiang Chu, Cousins ​​was a little angry, and the atmosphere on the court became more and more tense."

"Irving has scored 31 points, and O'Neal has not scored 20 points. If the Barkley team wins the game, Irving will definitely be the best player."

"Cousins ​​pulls to the outside and passes Paul George in seconds, Paul George dunks under the basket, beautiful."

“欧文再次命中3分，他已经砍下34分……门罗打中2+1，双方比赛差距还是4分。”

With less than 2 minutes left, the balance of victory has tilted to Barkley's side.

Kemba Walker wanted to pass the alley-oop outside, but the tacit understanding with Monroe was not so good. The basketball was tapped by Cousins. Xiang Chu, who was focused on rebounding, reacted immediately and got the ball.

He turned around for a layup, but was fouled by Turner who drove over.

Xiang Chu didn't think much about scoring in the second half. He played very focused and the effect was very good. Now his rebounds have reached 23.

He stood at the free throw line, looked at his family in the audience, and took a deep breath.

It's okay, just follow the usual practice, free throws are his best offensive method.

After moving his shoulders, Xiang Chu made the first free throw, which was very good. He remembered the feeling of shooting, and continued to make the second free throw, 122:124, 2 points away.

Barkley's Irving held the ball, and Walker stepped forward to defend.

Cousins ​​came up to cover, and Irving wiped in with an acceleration.

Xiang Chu couldn't care less, so he bet that Irving would shoot by himself. He charged forward with all his strength, and tried his best to block Owen's shooting line with his hands.

Sure enough, Irving did not choose to pass the ball. His shot was interfered by Xiang Chu, and Monroe got the rebound.

The O'Neal team chose to suspend and arrange a tactic, which is not complicated. The defender holds the ball inside to cover, just like the Barkley team Irving took the ball before, but the executor is Walker.

Monroe went up to cover, and Xiang Chu stayed inside to grab a rebound.

Walker and Monroe played a pick-and-roll, one gear and one roll, Walker rushed in and returned the ball to Monroe.

Monroe had range, but he was distracted by Paul George and missed.

Xiang Chu was squeezed out by Cousins. He didn't try hard, but judged the landing point in advance. He used his long arms to push the basketball out, then grabbed it and threw it outside. Walker made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line.

Hit, 125:124, O'Neal's team overtook.

Huge cheers sounded from the sidelines, and Xiang Chu's teammates, Kobe and Bynum all stood up and applauded him.

With 38 seconds left, the Barkley team suspended.

At the last moment, O'Neal's defensive tactic was to stare at Irving. The opponent's midfielder could not deliver the ball to Irving and gave it to Wall. Wall still handed the ball to Irving.

The O'Neal team immediately flanked, and Irving could only pass the ball out.

The ball was called to Wall again, this time Wall didn't pass it out again, and went in directly.

Xiang Chu and Monroe stepped forward to block the block almost at the same time. Wall missed the ball, but when Xiang Chu turned around and went to grab the rebound a little later, Turner rushed to grab the rebound.

Turner held the ball and was about to go over Lan, Xiang Chu didn't hesitate, and directly fouled and destroyed it.

Turner stood on the free throw line, but at this time he seemed to be fluctuating, and he missed the first free throw.

He adjusted for the second penalty for a long time, and finally made a steady penalty, 125:125, the two sides tied.

With 15 seconds left, the initiative was in the hands of the O'Neal team.

Walker held the ball again, and he waited for nearly 7 seconds before starting it.

Relying on his speed to press a step inside the three-point line, Walker pulled it up directly.

Irving couldn't interfere, but the basketball hit the rim and bounced out.

Is this year's rookie game going to overtime? This idea just came to other people's minds. Xiang Chu's figure appeared again. He collided with Cousins ​​in the air, but he still grabbed the ball with his wingspan. The 25th rebounds.
