Chapter 628: Both Virtue and Art, All-round Development
59: 49!
10 points difference!
Little Thomas looked serious.
In the blink of an eye, from leading by 4 points to trailing by 10 points, it's like a fucking joke.
Can't be careless.
Little Thomas thought silently in his heart.
I can't be so confused anymore, if this continues, the game will be gone!
There were 32 seconds left in the second quarter.
Celtics offense.
Thomas Jr. pressed time in the frontcourt.
"For the Celtics, the way they played in the second quarter is definitely not what they want. Now we will see if they can get back a bit in the final attack, it depends on Thomas Jr." Wang Meng said.
Outside the three-point line.
Xu Xuan didn't come up in a hurry, watching Thomas Jr. dribble the ball on the spot.
"Isaiah, I don't think you can make this shot. You can give it to Smart. He will have better luck with this shot." Xu Xuan muttered.
Little Thomas' complexion darkened.
For Smart?
You take me for a joke!
Also, how the hell do you know I can't score this goal?
Little Thomas gave Xu Xuan a disgusted look, so he couldn't talk to this hanging man, let him talk to himself.
"Little Thomas moved! There are 8 seconds left in the attack time, and Little Thomas moved!" Wang Meng said.
This is stuck in a very extreme position.
Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball quickly and at the same time beckoned towards the inside.
Jaylen Brown, who was already at the free throw line, stepped over and put on the pick-and-roll.
At the same time, Horford stuck Zubac, went to the right side, and gave way to all the positions under the basket.
Thomas Jr. is a calm pick-and-roll expert. After the split this time, he didn't go up immediately. Instead, he observed the positions of the defense players, and then followed the direction of the pick-and-roll, and immediately accelerated his breakthrough.
Just as Xu Xuan was about to follow, he hit Jaylen Brown's chest with his forehead.
The pick and roll was a success!
Now the power forward of the Lakers is Larry Nance Jr. He is tall but not fast enough. Seeing Thomas Jr. rushing in like a gust of wind, Larry Nance Jr. can only straighten his arms as much as possible to cover Thomas Jr. attack space.
Xu Xuan could see clearly from a distance that Thomas Jr.'s height of "175" looked like a baby in front of Larry Nance Jr.'s height of 206, but Thomas Jr. was not afraid. Nance's physical contact.
"boom!"
The two hit each other directly with "forehead to thigh".
"boom!"
Thomas made a very calm backhand layup.
Xu Xuan understood that the first purpose of Thomas Jr.'s consciousness was not to make fouls, but to gain action and reaction, and to open up space to avoid blocks.
He is too short, and his entire basketball career has been shrouded in the shadow of being blocked in various ways if he is not careful, so his choice at the basket is always to avoid blocks first, and to think about fouls second, just like This ball is the same.
"Shh!"
Score a backhand layup.
larry nance jr built a lonely
This ball is great.
Even Xu Xuan has to admit that Thomas Jr. is very good at the ball.
First use the rhythm to find space, then find the body to fight, stretch the position, find the shot position, and then score with a backhand layup. The set of movements is smooth and smooth, without any shackles.
Even if Xu Xuan could do it by himself, it wouldn't be better.
Of course, if Xu Xuan goes, it won't be this style of play. There is a high probability that he will dunk Larry Nance Jr. instead of this kind of layup.
"Thomas Jr. is the player I have seen with the richest face-up layup skills and the most perfect ability to attack in the penalty area." Wang Meng praised.
"This is really covered too much, and I have practiced an attack routine that survives adversity, hahaha." Su Junyang laughed.
Thomas Jr. consumed a lot of offensive time in the second quarter. Xu Xuan looked up and saw that there were 11 seconds left.
A chance to attack.
Xu Xuan dribbled the ball across the half.
Larry Nance Jr. puts up the pick-and-roll.
Meanwhile, Nick Young switches defenses with Zubac in the left corner.
When Larry Nance Jr. came up, he just passed through Zubac. Horford had no choice but to come out from the inside to defend Xu Xuan, and Larry Nance Jr. turned into Thomas Jr. in front of him.
High position.
Xu Xuan threw the ball directly, giving Larry Nance Jr. a one-on-one chance.
Larry Nance Jr. leaned back.
Big and small, Thomas Jr.'s pocket-sized body was pushed aside by Larry Nance Jr. when he turned around and leaned on him.
The difference in physical strength is too great.
Thomas Jr. was pushed away, and Larry Nance Jr. naturally seized the opportunity in time, turned over and made a jumper, and scored directly while the time was still at the last second!
61:51, the point difference is still 10 points! ! !
At the same time, after the goal was scored, the referee also blew the whistle to end the half-time game.
"No, this game is very exciting. I originally thought that the two sides would have a truce in the second quarter, but I didn't expect that the second quarter would directly start scoring points." Wang Meng said: "The Celtics missed the second quarter. There are a lot of opportunities, especially for Smart, I think Coach Stevens can make some adjustments in the second half, because Smart can't play his advantage on the court at all."
Su Junyang also agreed with this.
Judging from the performance of the matchup just now, Smart has already been broken by Xu Xuan. In this case, it is a bit difficult to stabilize the mentality and continue to match Xu Xuan, and it may be counterproductive.
"I think the Celtics can try to use Crowder to switch defenses against Xu Xuan to try the effect, but it's a pity that Bradley is not there, otherwise Bradley is the best choice to defend Xu Xuan."
Avery Bradley-the most powerful defensive gate of the Celtics outside!
At the same time, he is also one of the few perimeter defensive players in the league.
Compared with Smart, Bradley is undoubtedly the most suitable person to defend Xu Xuan, but he is injured and cannot play in this game.
In the third quarter, both sides put on substitute players.
The Celtics' substitute Rozier came up and hit two consecutive three-pointers to help the team get back 6 points.
At the same time, Horford, who led the team, also took on veteran Tarek Black in a row, and the point difference was quickly equalized by the Celtics.
Seeing this scene, Wang Meng couldn't help but shook his head and said: "To be honest, the bench lineup of the Celtics is really not weak. You look at Rozier, Olynik, and Jere Buko. It can score, and this second team with Horford as the core can perfectly play Horford's strong ability to organize and support."
"A strong substitute lineup is also a standard for a strong team. Otherwise, it is impossible to play a complete game with a few players in the starting lineup." Su Junyang laughed.
With 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the third quarter, Xu Xuan re-entered the court. The Lakers' lineup was Xu Xuan, Nick Young, Metta Shiping, Larry Nance Jr. and Tarek Black.
For the Celtics, Thomas Jr. also came back, Smart, Crowder, and Jaylen Brown came back one by one, only Horford, who had just led the team, took a rest, and now the center of the Celtics is Taylor Ze Le.
The game continues.
First, the Lakers have the ball.
The sideline kicks out.
Xu Xuan looked up, and it was still Smart standing in front of him, not Claude. It seemed that Stevens didn't intend to switch defenses, and let Smart defend.
"Xu, I will not make any more mistakes next time! I will defeat you with my strength! Your glory is all an illusion!!!"
Xu Xuan didn't know what happened, and Xu Xuan, who hadn't figured out how to attack this attack, suddenly heard Smart's deep voice.
Yo!
Is this adjusted?
Has your mentality improved?
Xu Xuan was a little surprised, did he adjust his mentality so quickly?
But I don't really care.
Smart's defense is good, but it's only good, and even Tony Allen can't guard people, Smart can't guard even more!
Then, let's have a duel between men and men!
Xu Xuan didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes slightly.
suddenly!
Just like a cheetah got up, like a flash of lightning, it snorted.
Hu Chi.
Smart seemed to be able to hear Xu Xuan's breathing burning hot in his ears. He gritted his teeth tightly, pouring all his strength into his calves, and rushed forward instantly, the crackling burst of adrenaline bursting out Countless noises bloomed next to the ears.
However, Xu Xuan rushed into the inside after a fake move, but he was entangled by Smart on this ball, and he was unable to make a shot until he rushed outside the penalty area and ended it with a throwing posture. wave attack.
However, when throwing the shot, Xu Xuan also used a cautious eye. He didn't shoot directly, but made another fake move, shaking Smart again before throwing the basketball.
At the same time as the throw, the referee's whistle blew.
The basketball went into the hoop!Smart thug foul! 2+1!
Immediately, the audience booed, only the Lakers' bench was boiling
"pretty!!"
"nice shot!!!"
When Xu Xuan stood on the free throw line and hit an additional penalty, the cheers on the Lakers bench grew louder.
"Look, this is the gap between you and me, I can pass you like air by just moving my hands and feet!"
In the battle between men, in addition to the physical, the "mouth" is also indispensable. This is a "compulsory homework". If the "mouth skills" are in place, even if the body lacks shortcomings, it can also make up for it.
Of course, Xu Xuan is a typical example of "virtue and skill", all-round development, he is omnipotent!
Smart's eyebrows twitched.
To be honest, he tried his best to defend just now.
But trying your best doesn't mean anything, because Xu Xuan still scored in the end, which is still a "2+1".
However, Smart did not directly break through the defense like before. During the halftime break, Stevens told him that no matter how strong the opponent is, as long as you play your own well, then you are the strongest!
Smart believed it!
Believe it or not, Smart did!
Because the coach will not lie to him!
So he discarded all doubts and anxiety in the first half, and started again in the second half!
The current Marcus Smart is a brand new Marcus Smart, a Marcus Smart who will never break the defense again!
Therefore, Smart stopped Xu Xuan's words, just twitched his eyes, and said nothing else.
After witnessing this scene, Marshal Stevens nodded in relief, impulsiveness is the devil, and for Stevens, Smart's ability to "return to the shore" undoubtedly increased a lot of impression points.
Celtics attack.
Thomas Jr. came over with the ball.
The frontcourt still looks for pick-and-rolls.
Jaylen Brown puts up the pick-and-roll.
Thomas Jr. borrowed a step from the pick-and-roll and made a direct shot——
"Shh!"
Three points scored directly!
73 to 73, the two teams tied again!
Thomas Jr. scored the 26th point of the game.
And Xu Xuan has already scored 32 points.
"This kind of one-step shot through the pick-and-roll can't be defended at all. It's purely based on touch and skills. Little Thomas's move is really good." Wang Meng said.
The reason why this trick is difficult to defend is that the shooter shoots very fast, and basically has no dribble. Taking a step to shoot directly is completely utilizing the effect of the pick-and-roll to the extreme.
The game continues.
Lakers offense.
After Xu Xuan came up, the Lakers led by 3 points just now, and now they are directly tied.
frontcourt.
Looking at Nick Yang who was in the pick-and-roll with Xu Xuan, Thomas Jr. was the desperate one!
Come back, I don't want to guard against Xu Xuan, I don't want to guard against Xu Xuan! ! !
Thomas Jr. is undoubtedly the worst defensive point on the Celtics side, so Frank's tactic is, as long as there is a chance to single him, then don't hesitate, no matter who gets the ball.
But Thomas Jr. is also very smart, and generally doesn't defend those who are easy to make himself burnt out.
However, if you don’t go, someone will always force you to go, just like now, Nick Yang, a villain, actually stepped forward to help Xu Xuan pick and roll, Thomas just wanted to ask, won’t your conscience hurt if you do this? ?
Just when Thomas Jr. desperately wanted to take advantage of Xu Xuan's full pressure to make a steal, Smart on the other side suddenly forcibly squeezed away from Nick Young's cover and came over to defend.
In an instant, the Celtics actually formed a pincer attack on Xu Xuan.
"Beautiful, Marcus!" Little Thomas roared excitedly.
Good brother, I can't bear him being "molested" by Xu Xuan, so I chased him up in time.
"Snapped!"
With the cooperation of the two, Thomas Jr. went straight to steal.
A slap missed the ball, and Xu Xuan shifted his position by dribbling the ball under his crotch.
next second.
Smart stood in front of Xu Xuan again, with his arms outstretched, preventing Xu Xuan from continuing to rush in.
And Thomas Jr., who failed to make a steal, has been directed to continue to defend against Nick Young.
"Shh!"
Xu Xuan didn't do too many moves. He pulled up and shot a backward jumper. He was handsome and elegant, and his movements had their own BGM, which was harmonious like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Headshot into it!
Three point hit!
76 is better than 73!
Xu Xuan's personal score has reached 35 points!
Celtics attack.
Thomas Jr. still called Jaylen Brown's cover.
Still borrowing a step to shoot, hit again!
Personal 29th point!
Each hit a three-pointer.
No one on both sides can guard anyone now, Xu Xuan can score here, and Thomas Jr. can also score.
76:76, draw again!
The situation is very anxious now, everyone wants to lead, and then solve the battle one by one, but the more you think about it, the more impossible it will be, everyone is not weak, what you can do, I can do the same.
