Chapter 495 "In and Out"
Winning nine games in a row, among other things, the Lakers themselves were a little surprised.
No. [-] in the regular season. Before the game, they didn't expect that they could achieve such a result.
For many teams, even just a period of "first" is very rare.
"The main problem below is not to expand. The next two games are still very difficult to play. Once the back-to-back away games are not grasped, the winning streak is very likely to be interrupted."
Back-to-back away games have always been the games that players hate playing the most, because there is too little rest time left for them, just like this time, there is not much time left for the Lakers to rest. One day off, on the 10th and 11th we will be playing consecutively.
At this time, the entire Los Angeles Lakers team boarded a plane to New Orleans.
When Xu Xuan appeared at the hotel entrance, he was chased and intercepted by reporters.
No way, Xu Xuan is the darling of the media and fans, so whenever there is him, there will be a spotlight. It has become a cultural phenomenon. Many teenagers are proud to imitate him, and they are constantly learning his style of play and the court. action.
Xu Xuan has become a kind of belief.
The reporter at the entrance of the hotel asked Xu Xuan about his views on the Lakers' nine-game winning streak.
"Xu, how do you think you won nine consecutive victories? Is luck more important than strength? For the next game, do you have the confidence to hit ten consecutive victories?"
The reporter took the microphone and interviewed Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan looked at the reporter with some dissatisfaction. He was blocked at the door of the hotel. He was in a bad mood, but he still accepted the interview.
"I think it's better for everyone to win the nine-game winning streak. They played very well, so we won. As for the luck you mentioned, I don't think it has so much weight. Strength. If you want to win ten consecutive victories, temporarily It’s hard to say, but we’re confident and we’ll work hard, that’s all.”
"Then what do you think of the player Nongmei? Nongmei is still your senior. He entered the league earlier than you. He hasn't won a championship yet, and he doesn't have much honor. How do you think it happened?"
"I don't like to judge people very much, but I think Anthony is a good player. He doesn't need to change anything. He is already very good now."
"Then you agree with what he said an hour ago. You are not the player he likes, nor the player he thinks he should respect. You think your style of play is just catering to the times. Is that the case?"
Xu Xuan stared at the reporter who blocked his way forward, and replied: "Fans have the right to freely choose their favorite stars. The same is true for stars. They have their own likes and dislikes. In addition, I think my way of playing, Kobe, Larry That's how Sale plays, not everyone is O'Neal."
The troublemaker is here again
No way, who made Xu Xuan and Nongmei the most popular inside and outside players in today's league?
The inside line is thick eyebrows, and the outside line is Xu Xuan. As for Curry, they are much older than Xu Xuan and thick eyebrows, and they cannot be counted within the same age class.
At the moment when Brother Antetokounmpo has not "finished leveling", the future successors of the alliance are generally believed to be either Xu Xuan or thick eyebrows.
But now Xu Xuan has led the team to prove himself, and Nongmei has not even got a single honor, so there is still a gap between the two.
But for some people, the insider wins the world. Although the thick eyebrows are not as eye-catching as Xu Xuan now, it does not mean that he will be worse than Xu Xuan in the future. Basketball is born to be a big man's game, and the thick eyebrows are naturally better than Xu Xuan. Advantage.
But Xu Xuan won't spoil him. If you dare to hate me, I'll fight back hard!
You are a ball!
Xu Xuan's good temper is targeted, not everyone can enjoy his "good temper".
Before the start of the game, the reporters relayed Xu Xuan's words to Nongmei.
Thick eyebrows snorted coldly: "Pride is the enemy of everything. I think, after meeting us again, their dream of ten consecutive victories should be awakened!"
Xu Xuan was dumbfounded about this.
You have thick eyebrows, where does your pelican have the courage?
The current record of 9 games and 8 losses?
With this you can be proud?
Brainless and speechless!
Xu Xuan simply didn't want to talk to him.
In the past two years, thick eyebrows have indeed been quite aggrieved. After he entered the league, he was once hailed as LeBron James' "strongest champion". Even Rose and Warcraft were compared by him, but in fact His journey was not smooth, especially after Xu Xuan was born, a large part of his "successor halo" was taken away by Xu Xuan. In addition, the Pelicans' record is not good, so pay attention to Xu Xuan's There are more and more people, but fewer and fewer people pay attention to him.
After a long time, the mentality will definitely collapse.
In the locker room, Xu Xuan looked through the current roster of the Pelicans.
The Pelicans left a lot of high-quality players this year, such as Gordon and Ryan Anderson, and also sent away the striker Luke Babbitt, and got the 2018 second-round pick and some cash from the Heat.
The departure of so many high-quality players has actually had a great impact on the team, but the Pelicans themselves are happy about what you can do.
People love to "sacrifice themselves for others".
As for Nongmei himself, he has personal ability, but his ability to lead the team is really not good. His record of 1 win and 8 losses is extremely dismal, and he ranks last in the West.
At 7:[-] p.m., the game begins.
Warming up before the game, thick eyebrows gave Xu Xuan a provocative look, "Boy, I will blow you up later!"
Xu Xuan ignored him.
Just a clown.
In fact, in the previous life, the thick eyebrows and the letters were really ruthless.
The two have no results, the data is very good, but if they only look at the data, then it is better to directly compare with someone Ha.
Antetokounmpo reached the Eastern Conference finals for two consecutive years and was eliminated, not to mention thick eyebrows. Before joining the old man, he made the playoffs twice, was swept in the first round once, and lost 4 to 1 in the second round.
Brother Antetokounmpo played like shit in the Eastern Conference Finals. As the star of the team, he didn't dare to play in such an important game. Didn't he make a breakthrough? He threw a three-pointer all the time. The key is that you three-pointer I can't tell the difference, throwing it away is also a waste of throwing it away.
Xu Xuan personally thinks that these two people are incomparable with the young James, not "Zhan Chuan". After seeing how James played when he was young, let's look at how they played. The gap is very big.
Under what circumstances did Old Zhan come out?
There were Kobe, Wade, and O'Neal before, and Warcraft and Rose after. Which one is not a superstar.
Not to mention surpassing, just catching up, letters and thick eyebrows are difficult.
Warm-up is over.
The players gathered around.
Frank started the tactical arrangement.
"Tonight, Xu, Russell, Matt, Thomas, Yi, the five of you will start."
"Yes!"
Frank put Thomas Robinson and Matt Barnes, who were in the same class with thick eyebrows, into the starting lineup.
Frank still has high hopes for Thomas Robinson. This guy was the No. 12 pick in the first round of 15 and was selected by the Sacramento Kings.
After that, the Kings and Thomas Robinson officially signed a contract with a value of 4 million US dollars for a period of 1524 years.
It's just that this guy didn't perform very well. After entering the NBA, he was a bit unacceptable. He averaged only 4.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in his rookie season.
In the next few seasons, his journey will be more bumpy. He has played in the Mosaic, Trail Blazers, 76ers, and Nets one after another. Joining the Lakers this season, Frank and Xu Xuan value him for nothing else, that is, he dares to play. Dare to fight, with long and strong limbs, excellent athletic ability, and a very tough playing style. He is an insider who likes physical confrontation.And his defensive style is quite tenacious, and he can form a better protection for the paint area.
Relatively speaking, Randall, who is younger than him, has a different style, and against thick eyebrows, what Frank wants is confrontation!
Because of the "old glass man" with thick eyebrows, confront him and make him panic.
"Xu, you should control the rhythm of this game and don't get too entangled with them inside. Thomas, Matt, my request to you two is to entangle Anthony. Don't give him the opportunity to catch the ball easily and make him uncomfortable. , he is uncomfortable, we are comfortable."
"Well, ok."
Xu Xuan didn't look up at Frank. Frank had very little detailed tactical arrangements for him. Basically, he just mentioned the general direction and let him grasp it by himself.
And Thomas Robinson, who was the starter in the team for the first time, was very excited. To be honest, he has been unhappy with thick eyebrows for a long time
He is also a player for 12 years, and players of the same class are often compared by those media reporters. Thick eyebrows are positive, and he is often the negative example
The countdown to the start of the live game is over.
The referee signaled the players on both sides to prepare, and other irrelevant personnel backed down.
Xu Xuan walked towards the center of the court. Yi Jianlian was the one who jumped the ball from the Lakers side, while Omer Asik was sent from the Pelicans side.
The five Pelicans are Tim Fraser, E'Twaun Moore, Dante Cunningham, Thick Eyebrow and Asik.
"Beep."
The referee throws the ball into the sky.
Game start! !
Yi Jian even gave the ball to Xu Xuan.
Calling Asik a "butter hand" is really not casual. His angle of the ball was obviously better, but in the end the ball was pulled back by Yi Jianlian.
Xu Xuan held the ball and advanced across the half.
The Pelicans are on point defense, and standing in front of them is their point guard Tim Frazier.
Frazier was born in the draft. This year, he and the Pelicans reached a contract extension agreement. The new contract will last for 2 years and the total value of the contract is 410 million US dollars.
He has only played in the NBA for 2 seasons, but he has played for many teams, including the 76ers, Trail Blazers, and Pelicans.He played a total of 62 regular season games in his career, mostly as a substitute, averaging 15.8 minutes per game, contributing 5.1 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.2 rebounds.
In the second half of last season, Frazier was a firefighter for the injured Pelicans, and his performance was eye-catching. He averaged 16 points, 13.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 7.5 steals in 1.4 games. A point guard with strong assists.
Defense isn't his strong suit.
Xu Xuan didn't make him wait any longer. After a crossover, he followed up with a fake vote and a real pass——
Those gorgeous footsteps almost broke Fraser's old waist.
Swish!
The basketball easily fell into the Nets, which was a long two-pointer, and the Lakers got a good start.
"It's simple! It's too simple, just shake it for a while, and it's over. I'm afraid Fraser hasn't reacted yet?"
It was indeed fast enough, and Fraser was already on defense, but Xu Xuan's speed and erratic footsteps, it was useless to be prepared.
2:0.
"Thick eyebrows!"
"Thick eyebrows!"
"Thick eyebrows!"
Kings fans are notoriously loud. Although the home team's record is not good, they still yelled out of face when the home team attacked.
Fraser greeted thick eyebrows from the frontcourt to cover.
Thick eyebrows were raised for cover.
His cover is solid.
Fraser broke through Xu Xuan directly and added to the free throw line.
As soon as Thomas, the Lakers insider, wanted to help defend, he heard Xu Xuan shout: "Be careful of his pass!"
Thomas hesitated for a moment. His task was to guard against thick eyebrows, not to guard against other people.
At this moment, Barnes abandoned Cunningham and blocked Frazier in time, while Xu Xuan blocked Cunningham along the other side. The two of them had completed a defensive switch .
Frazier didn't have a good chance, so he chose to pass the ball and got a thick eyebrow.
The thick eyebrows are a little pity that he came to pick and roll the ball and aimed at Xu Xuan, but it's a pity that Xu Xuan is a thief and didn't give him this chance.
The Pelicans opened up and gave thick eyebrows one-on-one low post singles.
Thomas clung to him tightly, using his chest and triangular area to press against the back and buttocks of the thick eyebrows. The "fight" became fierce in an instant, "the knife sees red".
Thomas is still very hard. In terms of height, Thomas is only 208, while the official height of the thick eyebrow is also 208. In terms of weight, Thomas is 250 pounds, while the thick eyebrow is only 220 pounds.
Thomas will definitely not suffer from physical confrontation.
After "in and out" several times, it seemed to be "lubricated", the thick eyebrows turned around and attacked the basket, was interfered, the ball went out of bounds, and the Pelicans had the ball.
"Shet!!"
Thick eyebrows cursed in a low voice.
He was going to fight Xu Xuan, but he met this guy.
Very annoying.
When the bottom line ball was sent out, the face of the thick-browed man who caught the ball sank again.
"Damn! You guys are here again!"
Thomas grinned, I'm here to defend you, who will come if I don't?
Clap!
Thick eyebrows raised and was interrupted again.
But this time the ball is not for the thick eyebrows. When Matt Barnes saw that the thick eyebrows did not rise, as if he had taken a stimulant, the tiger rushed to snatch the ball from the thick eyebrows.
Thick eyebrows are in a hurry, being stuck by Thomas on the one hand, and snatched by Barnes on the other, just like a little daughter-in-law who is being bullied
"Hahaha."
Frank, who was sitting on the bench, smiled. This is the result he wanted. He went to Barnes and Thomas, leaving the rest alone.
There is no doubt that the Pelicans are also a single-core team, and the thick eyebrows are their only core. If the thick eyebrows are strangled, the Pelicans will have no resistance!
Xu Xuan started a fast break, cooperated with Russell in the frontcourt, Xu Xuan assisted, Russell made a layup, and the duo easily tricked the retreating Frazier to complete the score.
4 to 0, Xu Xuan scored 2 points and 1 assist, but Nongmei only made two mistakes.
