Chapter 118 The ever-changing
Getting blocked on the basketball court is inevitable.Devin Booker didn't take it too seriously, and ran to the top of the arc calmly, preparing to receive the baseline ball from Markieff Morris.

Xu Tian's physical condition gradually recovered, and he focused on Bledsoe, who was extremely hot in the opening stage.

Devin Booker was very clever. With the help of PJ Tucker's cover, he changed his defender from George to Clarkson.

Markieff Morris judged the situation on the court in an instant, raised his hand and gave the ball to Devin Booker, and the offensive shooting guard launched the offense.

Devin Booker's high school and college career was mediocre. If it weren't for his 198 cm height, the draft pick would be even lower.But just like Xu Tian, ​​this does not affect his performance in the NBA.

JUMP SHOT!

The referee stretches out two fingers on his right hand and bends his wrist downward.This action declared Devin Booker's two points valid.

Nance Jr. stepped out of the baseline and sent the ball to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian showed a few fancy dribbles at halftime, trying to regain his familiarity with the ball.

Tucker didn't understand why Xu Tian had to show off after halftime, but he didn't want to figure it out either.There was only one thing in his mind, and that was to try his best to defend Xu Tian.

Xu Tian stood at the top of the arc, adjusted the dribble twice in a row, found the most comfortable shooting rhythm, and directly ignored Tucker in front of him and forced a pull.

Tucker is full of strength, but correspondingly, his agility is not enough.He is good at defending the 4th position, and there is nothing he can do about this kind of intervention by taking advantage of his physical talent.

The basket of the Meixi Arena was covered, and Xu Tian's request for interaction was rejected again.

The boxing champion repeated his tricks, quickly took off in the penalty area, and gave the racket to Devin Booker at the top of the arc with his right hand.

Devin Booker had a premonition that he was going to be hot today, dribbled the ball across half court, and shot with a deadly sword.

The white net flowers tumbling, matched with the cheers of the home audience, stimulated the Lakers players present from both visual and auditory aspects.

Xu Tian took the basketball from Hibbert calmly, dribbled the ball forward slowly, and continued to face Tucker at the top of the arc.

Tucker has defended against Curry and Klay Thompson, knows how it feels to defend against top shooters, understands that Xu Tian is not feeling well at this time, and takes the initiative to take a step to prevent Xu Tian from dribbling through.

If Kobe is on the court, he will definitely encourage Xu Tian, ​​who has a bad hand feel, to continue shooting.But now Kobe is not on the court, and Xu Tian is not in an offensive-first style. He actively passes the ball to George, who is standing on the left, and gives him the offensive leadership.

George looked at the timer, adjusted the dribble at the top of the arc, forced Devin Booker to break through, and continued to use the simplest breakthrough to drive the offense.

Xu Tian is the core of the Lakers' offensive tactics. He is in trouble on the offensive end, and the team will also be greatly affected.The most obvious change is that Tucker dared to let Xu Tian short for a short time, and went to help defend George who made a double-team breakthrough.

George was not skilled in attacking with the ball. He was interfered by high-intensity double-teaming and lost the ball involuntarily.

Bledsoe reacted flexibly, quickly picked up the ball hit by Tucker, and launched a counterattack at a speed of [-] mph.

Devin Booker felt right at the time, left all his troubles and ran to the frontcourt, received a pass from Bledsoe, the troubles on the 36th road were unsheathed, and he hit a gorgeous three-pointer.

Jeff Van Gundy couldn't bear to watch the miserable scene of the Lakers anymore, and said: "The Lakers should call a timeout, otherwise they will collapse soon if they continue to play like this."

Mike Brin was still hesitant at first to tout the Suns, but now seeing that Devin Booker is in a hot state, he decisively changed the direction of the wind, and he was full of praise for Booker, "The Lakers really should call a timeout, but Devin Booker Booker is in such a good state, even if the Lakers temporarily strengthen their defense against him, I don't think they can defend against Devin."

No matter what the two commentators said, the Lakers still did not call a timeout, and the players on the field made adjustments independently.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball across the half court, instead of stopping the ball like before, he directly dribbled and broke through, leaving no time for Tucker to react.

Seeing that Xu Tian missed consecutive shots, the Suns players relaxed their vigilance against him, and no one came to help defend him.

Xu Tian felt the familiar touch from his fingertips. He felt that everything was coming back. He dribbled the ball in three steps and threw it high against the champion's defense.

With an elegant rotation, the basketball entered the net perfectly hollow under the dazzling and bright lights of the stadium.

Paul George's eyes widened. Looking at Xu Tian who turned around confidently, he suddenly realized that Xu Tian in the team match this morning was not at full strength.

Xu Tian quickly turned around and retreated, without any reaction at all.The Lakers will have three days of rest after tonight's game, and they can rest as much as they want at that time.

Hornacek had just been scored by Xu Tian, ​​and couldn't sit still on the coach's bench, so he got up and came to the sidelines to guide the players to play steadily.

Bledsoe turned his head away, as if he didn't hear the head coach's voice, he had to cover the ball at the top of the arc and cooperate with Morris in the pick-and-roll, trying to attack Xu Tian's defense.

There was no expression on Xu Tian's face, and the surrounding things no longer caught his eyes. All he could see was the basketball and Bledsoe holding the ball.

At this moment, all Bledsoe's movements seemed to be shown in slow motion, which gave Xu Tian great confidence.

The yellow lightning strikes, and the transformation steals it.

In front of Xu Tian is an empty half court, and of course there is a basketball hoop made of tempered glass and a basket waiting for him.

BOOM!

The audience in the American West Arena expected that Xu Tian would contribute a dunk, and they were not surprised by this powerful dunk, and even wanted to applaud.

There are many Lakers fans who came to the stadium today. Taking advantage of the quiet space in the stadium, these people secretly applauded.But they didn't expect that there were many people with the same idea, and the voices gathered together, which still caused the effect of the away fans turning against each other.

Xu Tian landed lightly, ignored the intentional collision of the Suns players, and quickly returned to the backcourt to retreat.

Devin Booker was not convinced by Xu Tian, ​​who was also a rookie, and took the initiative to ask for the ball from Brad, and dribbled to the frontcourt.

Xu Tian's body gradually moved as the audience galloped, and he no longer felt restrained at the beginning. He let go of Tucker a little, and stared at Devin Booker who was holding the ball.

Devin Booker felt very good, dribbled the ball in two directions to shake George away, and made a step-back jumper.

A purple figure appeared, and quickly grabbed the basketball that flew into the air.

Xu Tian directly ended Devin Booker's offense with a grab cap.

Mike Brin didn't expect the change to come so quickly, but he was able to cope with such a scene with rich experience, and changed the subject to praise Xu Tian.

Clarkson struggled to catch up to the ownerless basketball, and subconsciously passed it to Purple No. 1 who was about to get off in the middle, watching this talented rookie gallop towards the frontcourt.

Bledsoe and Devin Booker followed Xu Tian from left to right, preparing to foul Xu Tian who was about to come down.
