Chapter 122 Xiao Hua with Big Head

James knew that he didn't feel good today, so he hesitated for a while and decided to hit it in.

Popovich seems to have forgotten that James is different from the previous James. The breakthrough is restricted, but there are still back shots. As long as you double-team, James dares to sit and kill Xiao Hang.

James passed the ball back to Rondo, then walked all the way to the bottom line, and then stuck his left shoulder and left hip against Xiao Hang, and the seat was available.

Rondo passed back to James and started playing back.

But James also forgot one thing. Rondo's three-pointer was unsightly. You all forgot that the Cavaliers put him four or five meters back then?
Popovich really didn't forget James' back hit, and Murray quickly stepped forward to double-team.

James had no choice but to pass it to Rondo. Facing the big open space, Rondo hesitated, and finally made the shot.

Under Poeltl's position, Ade easily took off the rebound and gave it to Xiao Hang.

Hey hey, Popovich has a plan.

It is to force James to play singles, so don't expect too much from Rondo's three-pointer.

Xiao Hang didn't control the ball and gave it directly to Murray, and walked towards that familiar place by himself.

One step outside the left three-point line to receive the pass and face James.

James paid great attention to Xiao Hang's tentative steps this time, and the result of his attention was that he was swayed.

Xiao Hang took advantage of the opportunity to break through to the inside, "Kang—" Poeltl is still a pie eater, after Xiao Hang attracted the Lakers to defend inside, he had a chance.

James continued, still wanting to play back, but Rondo still missed a three-pointer, and it was still a long rebound, which was easily hit by DeRozan.

Walton had to call a timeout, rearrange the players, and after communicating with James, he came up with the 1-star four-shot lineup.

Point guard Hart, shooting guard Pope, small forward Ingram, power forward Kuzma, center James.

The Spurs did not change the lineup here, and continued to play according to that set.

James came in possession of the ball, and the other four Lakers had already set up outside the three-point line, opening up space for James to play singles.

The other four players of the Lakers are all capable of three-point shooting, and this season has exceeded 35%, and the average number of field goals per game has exceeded 1.5. The Spurs dare not double-team casually.

James finally got his wish and was able to single-handedly beat Xiao Hang in the low post.

One step, two steps, three steps, squeezed into the paint, and then took a fadeaway jumper and hit it.

James held back for a long time, and finally returned the gift just now.

Xiao Hang is already training his body, but being 40 pounds lighter than James does not mean that he can grow longer. Gaining too much weight will affect his agility, speed, etc., and his shooting strength must be rebuilt.

Xiao Hang has reached a communication with the trainer in the team. Starting from the current 208 pounds, he will increase his weight to 220 pounds in the regular season next year. The ultimate goal is 225 pounds. After all, not everyone is like James. He can use his inside weight to play outside. .

But Xiao Hang couldn't guard James, and James couldn't guard Xiao Hang either.

Xiao Hang has hit James 3 times in a row, 1 layup, [-] pull-up jump shots, too steady.

Xiao Hang's sudden stop and jump shot in the middle distance is an exaggeration to say that it has been integrated into his blood.

However, James' back-to-back defeats are not effective every time. Xiao Hang has always grown up fighting against the strong from the "weak". .

The rhythm of James’ body exertion was mastered by Xiao Hang. Compared with James’ physical strength, it is now the most important thing for James, and he can no longer use it casually like before. When should he exert strength and hit the ball, Xiao Hang has already touched a little. Before James makes a shot, there must be a strong attack on Xiao Hang, so that he can open up space and complete the score.

Moreover, the Spurs' resolute non-teaming strategy has basically made the four shooters useless. Popovich is really not afraid of James. He is only afraid of Kobe, who has a terrible scoring ability in the mid-range. Now Popovich has one. James is even less afraid of perverted players.

The third quarter is the epitome of this normal game. James has a 6% success rate against Xiao Hang, but Xiao Hang has a success rate of more than 8% when he breaks through James' pull-up jump shot.

Throughout the third quarter, Xiao Hang made 12 of 9 shots, scored 18 points, and sent 3 assists. His physical strength was good, and the fourth quarter continued.

But James spent a lot of energy in the third quarter. Although he made 15 of 10 shots, his efficiency was a bit poor, and he had 0 assists. Only Pope and Ingram scored points in singles, but James fell into embarrassment in the fourth quarter. Spurs cramp at home...

In the last 38 minutes of playing, James made 28 of 17 shots, which was very scary. He also made 7 free throws and scored 42 points. He also became the first star of the game.

For the Spurs, Xiao Hang only scored 9 points in the first half, but in the second half, he made 23 of 17 shots, all from mid-range, and made 6 free throws, scoring 49 points!
DeRozan also had 25 points, Alder also scored 19 points, and the Spurs' new Big Three pulled James down again.

James is depressed now. The original Big Three of the Spurs have just been disbanded. Why is there a new Big Three now?
At the end of the game, fans all over the United States and China were amazed at Xiao Hang.

This is the first rookie to score 40+ this year, and it was scored against LeBron James!
The two sides have played against each other for as many as 28 rounds in a normal match, and they all scored easily on the opponent's head. It can be called a classic match between superstars.

After the game, James also praised Xiao Hang, saying that he saw the purest outside play in Xiao Hang, and he was very strong in mid-range scoring, a bit like Kobe Bryant.

This is a very high compliment, but what Xiao Hang wants to do is Jordan, the Jordan who can do everything within the three-point line, and Xiao Hang's three-pointers are also very scary. This game against the Lakers is Xiao Hang's first. In five NBA games, I made a total of 11 three-pointers, used 23 shots, hit 47%, and averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game. Once I entered the league, I was a qualified three-pointer. This is better than the starting point of too many people. Both are high.

The NBA president also watched this game, he was hesitating, after LeBron retired, who else could be highly recommended by the league, Durant, Curry counted as contemporaries of LeBron, LeBron retired, these two The position has basically entered a recession, Westbrook?Not sensible enough, last year’s game against the Jazz broke out to beat fans, Harden’s style of play is not pleasing, no matter how young, Booker is just a data brush, Wiggins only loves wolfberry tea, and Oladipo’s style of play is not pleasing Xi, Aaron Gordon is more than explosive but not strong enough, and has not yet played a qualifying season.

Pushing Xiao Hang has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage lies in the 13 billion market in the future. Yao opened up the market earlier, but now it has encountered a bottleneck, after all, it is separated by a Pacific Ocean.The downside is that the relationship between China and the United States is now tense. How will the United States view the promotion of a Chinese superstar?How those team owners and investors will think, there are too many things to consider, and Xiao Hua's head is getting bigger.
