Chapter 180 Xu's Time
Coach Rivers looked at Xu Tian who was dribbling fast, as if he saw something incredible.

Facing the unguarded basket, Xu Tian bowed his whole body and completed a dunk with both hands!
The strong cheers erupted from the Staples Center, which complemented the slow motion played on the big screen above the venue, and made Xu Tian enter a state of excitement. Rarely, he opened his arms and asked for applause from the home audience.

Xu Tian is not a player who likes to celebrate, so it is rare for him to ask for applause.

The fans at the Staples Center gave Xu Tian enough face and responded to this gorgeous rookie player with even louder cheers.

"Hey!" Director Zhang was a guest in the Tencent live broadcast room, "Xu Tian is in really good shape today, he dunked three baskets in front of him, and two of them can score top ten goals."

Wang Meng said with a smile: "With Xu Tian's physical fitness, if he doesn't dunk, he will be sorry for the fans who came to watch the game at Christmas."

Director Zhang said yes, and continued to listen to Wang Meng's opinions.

Barkley and Kenny Smith also did not comment live, but discussed the possibility of Xu Tian participating in the dunk contest.Barkley thinks that Xu Tian will participate, while Kenny Smith thinks that Zach LaVine is too strong, and the smart Xu Tian will avoid the dunk contest like James.

Paul has a strong desire to control. After Griffin made a dribble error, he no longer trusted him and came to the backcourt to receive the serve.

Coach Rivers knew that Paul had a strong personality, so he didn't dare to insist on Griffin's possession of the ball, but just let the team play steadily.

Griffin is not a grass, and he has some opinions on Paul's desire to control in his heart, but the two still have to work together. He didn't show this emotion, but his enthusiasm on the court has dropped a lot.

Seeing that Griffin didn't intend to raise it, Jordan took the initiative to run to the top of the arc, help Paul cover, and launch a familiar pick-and-roll attack.

Tyson Chandler was in charge of defending Jordan. He was at a disadvantage in speed when facing Paul, so he could only let him go.

Paul has a variety of offensive methods, and the three-pointer is also in the conventional arsenal. He does not hesitate to shoot a three-pointer from 25 feet.

Swish!
Coach Rivers shook his head with a blank expression, sat back on the coach's bench, and watched the game on the field.

Xu Tian took the serve, took the time to pass half court, and organized an attack at the top of the arc.

Kobe's physical strength is quite abundant, the weak side waist and Redick grabbed the position, and stretched out his right hand to ask Xu Tian for the ball.

George expended a lot of energy on the defensive end, standing outside the right three-point line and drawing Paul Pierce away from defending him.

Kobe received a pass from Xu Tian, ​​played back to Redick, and used traditional offensive methods to bully this not-so-good shooting guard.

Redick can be regarded as a 3D player, but his strength is far weaker than Kobe, and he still cannot form effective restrictions.

Bryant used his proficient footsteps to move, played Redick with ease and freehand, and turned over a 16-foot fadeaway jumper!

clang!
Swish!
The basketball hit the front of the basket and fell into the net dramatically.

Griffin ran the baseline and handed the ball to Paul Pierce without saying a word, allowing the veteran small forward to take control.

Pierce is an old fritter, and it is impossible not to see Griffin's change in attitude towards Paul, but the current situation is in his favor, and he simply dribbled the ball across halftime pretending to be stupid.

Xu Tian carefully observed the Clippers' movements in the past few rounds, and deliberately switched defenses in front of Griffin, giving the power forward a chance to attack easily.

Pierce didn't have many chances to meet Xu Tian. He didn't know that Xu Tian was a thoughtful player, so he just viewed him as a rookie.

Griffin was a little angry in his heart, and slightly lowered his shoulders and slammed into Xu Tian. He didn't want to immediately push Xu Tian back a step, and immediately got a good attacking space.

Pierce is not known for his playmaking skills, but this obvious opportunity can still be seen, passing the ball directly to Griffin.

Griffin turned around after receiving the ball, squeezed Xu Tian away, and scored with a layup with his left hand.

The referee whistled and Xu Tian was fouled by the thugs.

This is Xu Tian's second foul of the game.

Griffin took advantage of this rare opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction in the form of swear words.

Xu Tian stood expressionlessly to the left of the free throw line, taking George's place, ready to grab a rebound.

Barkley said: "Kenny, look at Xu's expression! His expression only appears at critical moments, and whenever this happens, his opponent will be in trouble."

Kenny Smith broadcast the report with an exaggerated tone: "Xu's time! It's time to enter Xu's time."

Griffin's free throw is much better than Jordan's. He made a steady hit and added a penalty, and successfully completed 2+1.

Xu Tian took the serve, sucked the braces on his front teeth with his tongue, and dribbled the ball across the half with a blank expression.

Pierce lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc, put his hands tentatively on his side, and defended Xu Tian who was dribbling.

Xu Tian's midline position suddenly accelerated, taking advantage of the trend to break through the penalty area.

Pierce's lateral movement speed was no longer as good as before, and he reached out his hand in vain to stop Xu Tian, ​​but he only touched the air beside him.

Xu Tian's thought of internally disintegrating the Clippers disappeared with the wind, followed by a strong urge to bomb the basket.

Griffin has been pulled near the three-point line by George and can no longer defend Xu Tian.

Little Jordan recalled the dunk not long ago, and with all his strength, he took off facing Xu Tian, ​​vowing to block Xu Tian who received the ball and took off.

Before Xu Tian took off, he had seen Kobe who was going down, and passed the ball behind his back in the air, giving it to this active veteran.

Kobe took off the ball and easily wiped the board for a layup.

Little Qiaodan and Xu Tian collided again, this time he did not forget to add movement with his right hand, and secretly slapped Xu Tian on the head.

The referee ignored the apparent foul and simply declared Bryant's two points valid.

Seeing Xu Tian lying on the ground covering his head, George hurried to Xu Tian's side and asked him about his condition.

Xu Tian was fine, he just wanted to lie on the ground and rest for a while, and when his breathing became more stable, he grabbed George's hand and stood up from the ground.

Redick stood not far away, sprayed Xu Tian with insulting words, and then ran to the front field as if nothing had happened.

Xu Tian never paid attention to this pious white player. Hearing these words, his heart became ignorant, and he started to defend directly from the backcourt.

Pierce was the one with the ball and suffered immediately.

With a light tap of his right hand, Xu Tian stole the ball directly in Pierce's hands, and took advantage of the opportunity to slash towards the penalty area guarded by Griffin.

Griffin didn't know what was waiting for him, so he jumped up confidently, trying to intercept Xu Tian's dunk in the air.

Xu Tian's right arm was stretched behind his back, his left hand was placed in front of him strongly, and directly across Griffin, he smashed the ball hard.

The referee whistles, offensive foul!
Griffin breathed a sigh of relief when he landed, thankful that he was not dunked.
