Chapter 107 Return even if you are not a king
For players who are accurate in free throws, their preparatory actions before free throws are fixed, such as Nash's heavy-handed action of touching the soles of his shoes first and then licking his hands, while Xu Tian's free throw habits were taught by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming has a habit of dribbling the ball three times every time he makes a free throw, awakening the muscle memory he has accumulated for a long time before he shoots.The same is true for Xu Tian.

The basketball flies into the air with a subtle spin and falls right into the net.

What Kobe appreciates most about Xu Tian is his ball feel.He has played for so many years, and he has seen very few people with such a sense of the ball, otherwise he would not have advocated the trade of Xu Tian, ​​and even gave him the most precious boss position.

Paul George stood at the top of the arc, watching Xu Tian's smooth movements from dribbling to shooting, and remembered Xu Tian's personal training in the morning.

Xu Tian's dribbling is not a routine training, but has multiple advanced training methods, such as standing on a basketball with both feet, practicing dribbling with both hands while maintaining balance; dribbling with the left hand, three tennis balls with the right hand or dribble with the right , dribble three tennis balls with the left hand, or use both hands and five fingers to dribble quickly in turn.Xu Tian's training is the most varied dribbling training Paul George has ever seen.

Xu Tian still hit the second free throw steadily, helping the team successfully score two points.

Jennings dribbled and attacked, and when the 24 seconds were approaching, he successfully got a defensive foul from Clarkson, which made the game enter an official timeout.It is worth mentioning that this is the first suspension of the game.

Scott and Madsen discussed Xu Tian's free throw. In order to protect Xu Tian's physical strength, they decided to replace him with Nick Young after the timeout, and let Paul George lead the team for a while to see how George drives the team.

Kobe wanted to discuss tactical issues with Xu Tian, ​​so he called Xu Tian to his side after wiping off his sweat, and asked, "How do you think Paul is playing?"

Xu Tian knew that he would not play again after the timeout, so he sat on the chair next to Kobe and said, "It's just an opening game, and I can't see much, but the improvement on the defensive end is obvious."

"I think one basketball is not enough points." Kobe remembered the comments of netizens on his INS last night, and laughed, "You, me and Paul all need to hold the ball. At that time, the right to shoot on the court will be a problem."

Xu Tian watched the game going on on the court, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the three of us all have shots, and we can combine off-ball and ball-holding, so we don't have to worry about possession of the ball at all."

Kobe would never agree with Xu Tian's opinion when he was young, but this season is the last season of his career.

With Xu Tian resting, Paul George became the core on the court, enjoying the privilege of dominating the ball alone.

The forward players on the Pistons bench are generally not strong in defense. They can only choose Kadir Martin, who is 201 cm tall and weighs 100 kg, to defend George.

Nick Young didn't care much about returning to the bench. He was still running on the court full of energy, ready to catch the ball and give the Pistons a painful blow.

Paul George asked the magician the tricks of the point guard, dribbling the ball at the top of the arc to try to organize the offense, and observing the movement of his teammates who may have opportunities.

Magic Johnson understands how good the Warriors are, and he knows that if he wants to compete for a championship, he can't follow the path of imitating the Warriors, so he and Pelinka are working hard to find a team lineup that is defensive first and moves the ball smoothly.I want to compete for the ultimate glory in a way that belongs to the Lakers.

Nick Young received a pass from George, dribbled the ball continuously under the hips at the top of the arc, trying to open up the offensive space.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was in charge of defending Nick Young. He was not fooled by this kind of fancy dribbling at all. He always maintained a good defensive position and did not give Nick Young any shooting space.

Nick Young doesn't have George's elegant desire to organize offenses. With the spirit of going up when there are difficulties and creating difficulties when there are no difficulties, he pulls up from the spot and shoots.

Black and Aaron Baynes didn't give in to anyone else, and stuck hard in the interior to compete in advance for the upcoming basketball.

Paul George saw a fleeting opportunity, started quickly from the top of the arc, rushed into the inside line with lightning speed, put aside his inner worries and forced Baynes to take off, and made a one-handed dunk with straight arms.

Staples Center.No!It should be said that most of the fans watching the game did not expect Paul George to be able to fly, and gave the warmest applause for this ordinary and no longer ordinary buckle.

The hottest thing in the world is the return of the king. Although Paul George is not a king, his return is still legendary enough to deserve a lot of praise from the fans.

The host of the Staples Center said in a soft voice: "Slam dunk from Paul George!"

Thackeray waved a towel and stood up, shouting more passionately than the audience, one point of heat, and two points of light.

Xu Tian and Kobe got up from the bench, watched the replay on the big screen hanging in the stadium, and also gave warm cheers to Paul George.

Paul George got the opportunity to add penalties and had plenty of time to celebrate. He opened his arms facing the audience and closed his eyes to feel the friendly cheers from the Staples Center.

The magician and Pelinka also stood up from the audience and joined the celebration. They looked at the intoxicated George with satisfaction and gave warm applause.

Feeling his beating heart, Paul George felt that playing basketball was a very happy thing for the first time. After a long time, he stood on the free throw line to execute the extra penalty.

Xu Tian has never experienced an injury, and has never experienced the feeling of returning. After cheering, he sat back on the bench.

Kobe had a feeling of sympathy for George, and he always stood on the sidelines and didn't sit back in his seat for a long time.

Paul George took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his emotions, and executed the additional penalty for Baynes' foul.

Feeling the atmosphere at the scene, Kenny Smith said: "This is the charm of competitive sports. No matter what age, sportsmanship is a rare thing, and people are willing to be intoxicated in it."

Barkley was amused by Kenny Smith's sudden emotion, and said, "Kenny, you've passed the stage of applying for a job, so you don't need to be so particular about what you say."

Kenny Smith choked again and laughed again, and said for a while: "Charles, you are a big bastard, you will never understand the charm of basketball."

Barkley was amused by Kenny Smith's serious attitude, and laughed haha, but he didn't open his mouth to refute.

Paul George spent a long time adjusting at the free throw line. After calming down, he began to dribble and confidently shot the ball in his hand.

The basketball pierced the sky, and as the brilliant lights of the Staples Center changed, it seemed to be shining brightly, making Paul George stunned.
