Chapter 119

Xu Tian was a little faster than Bledsoe and Devin Booker, and gradually opened up the distance with the two of them, with 1-on-0 double dunks in the frontcourt!

Hornacek watched Xu Tian's recovery in his eyes, and heard the applause of the home fans regardless of enemy and friend in his ears, and called a timeout a little angrily.

Bledsoe and Devin Booker are the leading heroes of the Suns, but in the last two rounds their offensive choices have been very problematic, and they have become the first players criticized by the coach.

Bledsoe and Devin Booker knew that the words of defense now would appear weak, and silently nodded to accept the coach's criticism.

Xu Tian took the towel and Gatorade from the enthusiastic Thackeray, wiped off his sweat, and gulped down the sports drink that he didn't endorse.

The BODYARMOR sports drink brand that Kobe participated in has reached an endorsement contract with Xu Tian, ​​but the company's senior management did not respect him enough and repeatedly violated the minor clauses in the contract, which made Xu Tian stop drinking hot water during the game and go to Drink Gatorade to put pressure on the company.

Xu Tian is very clear that his current performance and the commercial effect of being in the Lakers, coupled with the huge Chinese market, have made him a player with the highest commercial value in the league, and his contract has an overlord clause, and he will not give it to him at all. Belittle any face of his endorsement brand.

Scott took the tactical board from Madsen, and first said with a self-deprecating tactic that the main tactic of playing Nance Jr. became a cover, and then began to arrange the next tactic, allowing two inside players to clear the penalty area, and Clarkson was empty without the ball. Cut, it is up to George and Xu Tian to determine the attack method.

According to Scott's original plan, one of Xu Tian and George should rest, but now that the Lakers are behind, the stubborn Scott changed his mind and simply tied with the Suns.

The pause is only 100 seconds, barely enough for two sips of Gatorade.

In order to maintain his physical and mental state, Xu Tian walked back to the court alone without talking to his teammates.

Devin Booker was a little more stable than Bledsoe. After receiving Chandler's serve, he dribbled the ball to the top of the frontcourt to hold the ball and observe his teammates' running positions.

Xu Tian is defending Bledsoe, relatively speaking, the requirements for speed are relatively high, and the corresponding physical exertion will also be huge.

Devin Booker wanted to challenge Xu Tian head-on in his heart, but he knew what kind of offensive method was the most suitable, so he quickly threw the ball to Bledsoe who was in the waist.

Bledsoe saw Xu Tian's defensive skills, and he already regarded him as a superstar in his heart. On the offensive end, he was very afraid of Xu Tian, ​​and completed the offense with breakthroughs that were not easily defended.

Chandler received a pass from Bledsoe, held high in the penalty area and hit a layup, making a steady hit.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball halfway and handed it to George, who hadn't touched the ball for half a day, and asked him to sort out the team's offense.

There are many excellent organizers that George can come into contact with, the best of which are naturally the team president Magician and Xu Tian on the field.As the saying goes, he has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run. He dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and observed the running positions of his teammates.

Xu Tian started to attack without the ball again, using his speed to get rid of the smelly and hard Tucker, and no longer gave him the opportunity to close up and defend.

Remembering the four-character mantra "Pass to Xu Tian", George passed the ball to Xu Tian who ran out of the open space, and once again handed over the offensive leadership.

Xu Tian didn't challenge his luck, and he didn't shake the defensively experienced Tucker with his catch-and-shoot fakes, and quickly passed the ball to Nance Jr. on the left side of the penalty area.

Nance Jr. didn't look forward and backward like the two big guys. He picked up the basketball and shot it bluntly, which was successfully converted into a rebound.

Tyson Chandler leaped high, trying to shoot the basketball from above Hibbert's head, but before he touched the ball, he saw a black figure coming down, who lightly stretched his arms and dunked the ball into the basket.

This pickled pepper is a bit spicy!
Seeing George taking off, Xu Tian understood that he had really let go of the shadow of his injury, and admired his spirit very much.However, this kind of topic is obviously not suitable for talking on the court, so he chose to retreat to the backcourt in silence.

Devin Booker was young and mature, and he was not angry when he saw George's dunk, and he dribbled the ball calmly for halftime.

Bledsoe came out to catch the ball, continued to take on the work of point guard, and sorted out the team's offense.

Markieff Morris puts up the screen, but he helps Devin Booker, who runs off the ball, frees this offensively talented player.

Bledsoe, who learned from traditional point guard Chris Paul, has a great passing skill, hitting the ball and passing it.

Devin Booker still has the touch, pulled up the mid-range shot, and made a steady hit.

Xu Tian received the serve, rushed to the frontcourt quickly, made an emergency stop at 21 feet and made a long-distance two-point shot.

The basketball finally no longer failed Xu Tian, ​​and entered the basket steadily.

Boss Jin played basketball for a while on the basketball court in the backyard of the mansion. When he came back, he saw the scene of Xu Tian making a jumper and asked, "Xiao Ming, didn't Xiao Tian change his habit of shooting long-distance two-pointers? Why is he still using this?" What kind of attack?"

Alice stared at the TV screen and replied: "Xiaotian changed his shooting habits because he had to adapt to Morey's magic ball theory. Now that he has come to the Lakers, of course there is no need to change this habit."

"The magic ball theory still makes some sense." Boss Jin put the basketball back on the basketball hoop in the middle of the living room, and continued, "The fans in the past said that the shooting team could not win the championship, but in 11, the Mavericks won it. Now Curry's fiery state has made the three-pointer technique more and more important, and the long-range two-pointer and mid-range are a bit outdated."

Alice is an amateur volleyball player, and she didn't like watching basketball very much before dating Xu Tian, ​​but she heard Xu Tian explain the middle distance, and recalled: "Xiaotian said that the three-pointer will definitely become a key tactic in the regular season, But in the playoffs when the bayonet is popular, it is still easier to open the situation in the middle distance, so he feels that the technology of the middle distance will not become obsolete."

Boss Jin sat on the sofa, watched the offense and defense of the Lakers and the Suns on TV, thought for a while, and then slowly replied: "That's right. But now the NBA's offense is fast-paced, and the outside penalty scale is very tight. I think the three-point shot is more advantageous."

Alice is not a pure basketball fan, so she can no longer continue discussing technical aspects with her father and concentrate on watching the TV screen.Xu Tian scored three long-range shots in a row, and personally scored six points in a row to stop the Suns.

Li Lang was so busy with Xu Tian's commercial endorsement recently, he finally got some free time and received a call from his mother to urge him to marry him. He was frowning on the sofa, thinking about the solution to these two difficult matters.

Kobe lay on the sofa to watch the Lakers game in order to relax his knees, but he fell asleep without knowing it. When his daughter woke him up, he found that the game between the Lakers and the Suns had reached the second half of the fourth quarter.

The Lakers 102-98 Suns, the Lakers temporarily lead by four points.
