Fengshen NBA

Chapter 259 Battle against the Lakers
No. The second game in December is the away game against the Lakers. This time, the derby game that the whole world is paying attention to, especially Xing Tian's return to the starting lineup, makes people even more excited.

Because of Xing Tian's poor performance in the first month, Jack has called him many times to ask him to perform well, otherwise his fans will be lost very quickly.

Xing Tian also knows this, but because Zhang Lili is not there, he can only be a guest coach, so that he will not have too many managers to play games.

In this game, Zhang Lili also approached Xing Tian in advance, knowing that Xing Tian will let Xing Tian play for 30-35 minutes in this game, so that Xing Tian can play his strength.

The Lakers' performance this season was exceptionally dazzling. A reporter asked Kobe who was the player he most wanted to play against in this league, and Kobe answered Xing Tian from the same city.

Faced with such an exciting topic, the reporter certainly would not give up, and directly asked Kobe why he was Xing Tian and why he was not someone else. You must know that there are many people competing with Kobe for MVP.

Kobe didn't even think about it, and directly answered that Xing Tian is his best friend in the league, and now Xing Tian is the strongest player in the league other than himself that he thinks.

As soon as the interview got out, the world was in an uproar.You must know that Xing Tian's playing time has not yet reached 25 minutes, and now it seems that he is just a good role player.

Kobe also said this on purpose because the media underestimated Xing Tian.However, this also gave this game a warm-up in advance, and the major media have frantically played up this city derby.

Both the Chinese and the Lakers can enjoy the advantage of the home field when they play in Los Angeles, so neither team is too worried, and basically play this game at home.

Xing Tian was scheduled to play last in this game. Zhang Lili also expressed his own views before the game. He told Xing Tian that he wanted to see his changes this summer tonight.

Zhang Lili has already seen the results of everyone's training in the summer, but he can't see Xing Tian. It stands to reason that a person who works so hard for Xing Tian will definitely make great progress.

Kobe was also the last one out of the Lakers. Kobe walked up to Xing Tian, ​​and the two even hugged.The audience also applauded their friendship and looked forward to the game they were waiting for.

The Lakers' starting point guard Magic Johnson, shooting guard Black Mamba Bryant, small forward Baylor, power forward Jiasao, and center Skyhook Kareem.

The jump ball was completed by Garnett and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Yao Ming also knew his jump ball ability, so he gave up the dignity of this center without hesitation.

Garnett jumped the ball for the first time for the Chinese, so he worked very hard, and Garnett jumped up after the whistle sounded, but because his speed was too fast, the basketball was not touched by Garnett at the highest point arrive.

The referee could only give the Chinese a violation, and Garnett didn't say anything, so he could only hand the ball to the Lakers.He was really in a hurry when he played this ball, but everyone didn't blame him.

After all, Yao Ming's jump ball often loses, so it's better to let Garnett try it. This game can't continue in the next game. Everyone believes that Garnett's strength can definitely take on the job of jump ball.

As a foreigner, Garnett can also enjoy the warmth of home in the Chinese team, so Garnett is very happy, and almost forgot that he was unhappy in the Timberwolves last season.

"Xing, if you keep fighting like this, you won't be able to steal my All-Star starter!" Xing Tian was defending Johnson, but Johnson's way of greeting was not very friendly.

"Erwin, don't worry! The All-Star starter is mine!" The two had been fighting for a summer and had gotten to know each other, but verbal attacks had no effect.

Xing Tian challenged Johnson for the All-Star starting position in the summer, and Johnson would not easily give up this honor to Xing Tian, ​​so Xing Tian could only fight for it himself.

Johnson didn't talk anymore, and passed the ball to Kobe with a hit. Kobe glanced at the defender in front of him, and without hesitation, he passed the ball directly to Gasol at the top of the arc.

Gasol directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is that kind of technical center. After a feint, he hooked the ball and scored the ball.

These passes and catches are played very smoothly, and it is as if he has practiced countless times first.With Mayfair, the Lakers have more tactical training sessions.

"Triangle tactics!" Xing Tian was taken aback. He hadn't seen the Bulls' triangle tactics last season, so he didn't expect to see them on the Lakers today.

The triangle tactic has always been a very famous tactic in the last world. With this tactic, Mayfair won two three-peats with the Bulls, one three-peat and one two-peat with the Lakers.

This tactic is also very popular with the fans. There are singles and coordination. The main thing is that you can win with this tactic.Unlike bombardment tactics, the regular season is awesome, and the playoffs are stupid.

"Hey, I'm knowledgeable! But do you have a solution?" Johnson smiled at Xing Tian ghostly. Summer is summer. Now that there is a head coach, the Lakers are playing more holistically.

After all, the Lakers still lost money in the summer. With a guest coach like Xing Tian, ​​they all know what to train. They are not like the Lakers, who train according to their own mood.

Xing Tian didn't speak, turned around to get the ball from the baseline, and ran over quickly after receiving the ball. Yao Ming, who came back early, didn't even pass halftime, Xing Tian passed him and went straight into the penalty area.

Johnson never expected that Xing Tian would hit him so fast, and before he could turn around, Xing Tian completed the dunk.

Xing Tian knew that his speed was not fast among the small guards, but he also trained his speed in the summer in order to keep up with the speed of the small guards.

"Martial arts in the world can only be broken quickly!" Xing Tian gave Johnson a smile. This summer, the Lakers are training in the Chinese training hall, and they also have time to play in Xing Tian and Yao Ming's bedrooms. They fell in love with Chinese martial arts novels as soon as they played.

So they can understand Xing Tian's ridicule of Johnson. At that time, Johnson was always teasing Xing Tian, ​​your Chinese Kung Fu is so good, why don't you use it to play basketball.

"Run, run, you're exhausted!" Johnson gave Xing Tian a blank look. If it wasn't for this summer, he would never know that Xing Tian is so durable and a long-distance runner.

Xing Tian's dunk completely ignited Staples. All the media are bad-mouthing Xing Tian, ​​but Los Angeles fans still believe that Xing Tian will continue to grow and bring victory to the team just like the first season.

The only man who could face Xing Tian's slam dunks indifferently now put two fingers in his mouth and whistled. Hearing this sound, Johnson nodded to the white-haired old man.

After all, Mayfair Jackson is a man who has experienced a lot of wind and rain. The Bulls didn't panic when they fell behind in the fourth quarter. How could they panic because of Xing Tian's dunk.

Johnson ran over slowly holding the ball, and then handed the ball to Kobe who was one step to the left of the free throw line.Gasol and Kareem are ready to cut in, a triangle will do.

Zen master is also the first brother among the coaches. His style is that he is not in a hurry. You will never see him roaring. Even if he gives tactical instructions temporarily, he still uses subtle whistles.

Sun Dasheng bent down very cautiously. This summer, he was beaten like a dog by Kobe. He was still proud of defending, but he was like a piece of paper in front of Kobe.

Kobe shook his shoulders continuously, but Sun Dasheng didn't move. He already knew Kobe's offense very well, and he was full of fake moves. When playing with Kobe, the first thing is not to be deceived by the opponent.

But Kobe jumped up directly. Sun Dasheng had thought about such an unexpected situation, and he immediately followed up with his opponent and jumped up with his toes.

Kobe did not shoot, but with a flick of his hand, the basketball was thrown to Gasol.Not to mention that Garnett couldn't spot it, even Xing Tian couldn't spot Kobe's jumping pass.

Gasol didn't attack, and threw the ball directly into the sky, and Kareem jumped up.With a touch of the wrist, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar pointed the basketball into the basket.

This cooperation was very tacit, which completely disrupted the defense of the Chinese team. Xing Tian frowned and looked at Zhang Lili, and found that Zhang Lili was also helpless now.

This is the team basketball mode of the Lakers' triangle offense. All three people on the triangle touch the basketball, and finally the person with the most space completes the equal division.

If there is no score in this round, the basketball will return to Kobe, and then Kobe will complete a one-on-one.It can be said that the Lakers' tactical system is very clear now, and everyone knows what they should do.

Xing Tian thought for a while and played the 212 zone defense tactic. This tactic is usually used in college leagues, but now many coaches in the NBA also use it.

This zone defense tactic is two positions at the top of the arc, one player is near the free throw line, and two are in the corner.Usually the fifth position is near the free throw line, but the Chinese team let Garnett play at the free throw line.

Yao Ming's mobility has always been slow. With Garnett's defense, the zone defense can play [-]% of its strength, and the Lakers' triangle offense is also limited.

The defensive problem was solved, but Xing Tian found that the Lakers' defense was very tight, and he would rather foul than allow Yao Ming to score easily.In the first quarter, Yao Ming got to the free throw line 4 times.

Yao Ming was also miserable, his arms were all red, and he only scored 6 points. However, Xing Tian contributed 4 assists and 6 points. It seemed that Xing Tian's state recovered in the first quarter.

Xing Tian didn't move the brakes earlier, making Mayfair on the sidelines frown.Today's game will definitely go to the fourth quarter. Now is not the time to expose my big move. I also want to see where the limit of the Chinese team is.
