Chapter 494: Give You a Chance to Seize It!
Pelicans offense.
Asik, who served the baseline kick, handed the ball directly to Fraser and took it through the half.
It was Asik who came out to block the ball, and the thick eyebrows received a pass on the inside and scored a dunk.
Yi Jian couldn't stop it...... Don't look at Yi Jianlian's height compared to thick eyebrows, but in terms of physical talent, thick eyebrows are definitely far ahead.
4 to 2.
Xu Xuan took Yi Jianlian's ball.
Push through the half.
The thick eyebrows' dunk didn't make Xu Xuan show any mood swings.
Now Xu Xuan has long been immune to general dunks and breakthroughs, and scoring 2 points is nothing.
Come to the top of the arc.
Fraser stared at Xu Xuan's movements tightly.
At this point, Russell was on the right side of the free-throw line, waiting for an opportunity to squeeze Itovine Moore's position.
Xu Xuan at the top of the arc directly made an exaggerated amplitude, and a sharp crossover shook Fraser's defense away.
Then he broke straight in from the left.
Dante Cunningham abandoned Barnes and stepped forward to make up for it.
However, a gust of wind blew directly past Cunningham!!
Beware of loneliness!
Xu Xuan just shook in front of him, and passed Cunningham again.
Xu Xuan's man-ball combination ability is very strong, and he has connected 2 people.
Only then did Fraser realize that Xu Xuan was so terrifying! Underestimate him.
Xu Xuan's attack characteristics are mainly reflected in the word "fast".
The first two steps of the breakthrough are fast, the shooting jump is fast, the fast-break layup is fast, and the jump is fast.
This point made Fraser and Cunningham also at a loss, resulting in successive passes.
After passing Cunningham, the Pelicans' interior line was empty, and Xu Xuan hit a light shot.
"Huh!"
6 to 2!
Xu Xuan started with 4 points and 1 assist!
"Too strong, too strong, too strong! This breakthrough really made me wet. Barkley exclaimed: "After Iverson, can anyone else do it to such an extreme?" Ross can't! Owen can't! None of them!! ”
The key is high efficiency, Xu Xuan didn't even make free throws, 4 points and 1 assist in three rounds.
The Pelicans' offense is still handled by the thick eyebrows in the low post.
Thomas is very hard, but he is easy to eat, and his steps are not as good as the thick eyebrows, after the ball thick eyebrows are leaned on the left side, a little to the left, shake off Thomas, and turn on the right side........ Syllable!
Before the basket could be spoken, a crunch was heard.
Blocked!
A shocking cap from Yi Jianlian!
"Good shot!"
Xu Xuan roared excitedly, this cap is beautiful!
After landing, the thick eyebrows looked depressed, this ball was capped?
He didn't expect it, and he didn't pay attention to Yi Jianlian who was inserted from the other side, he thought the ball was stable......
"Beautiful! Brother Lian! Xu Xuan slapped Yi Jian in the past, playing ball is to be strong, not strong, what kind of basketball to play?
It doesn't matter who is on the other side, if you have the chance, you can make a move, hat him!
Other players on the Lakers team also came over to celebrate with Yi Jianlian, and Ci Shiping, who had returned from the bench, took the lead in blowing the whistle.
The game continues.
The ball went out of bounds, and it was the Pelicans' Itovan Moore who touched the ball last.
Moore also came to the Pelicans this season, with a new contract of 4 years and 34 million.
The 27-year-old Moore was drafted by the Celtics with the 55th pick in the second round in 2011 and moved to the Magic after just one season, and after two seasons with the Magic, he switched to the Bulls in 2014. As the team's backup point guard last season, Moore averaged 7.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, shooting 48.1% from the field and 45.2% from three-point range.
The Lakers' sideline ball was sent, and Xu Xuan did not choose to pass.
Instead, he directly beckoned Thomas to come over and cover.
Thomas took cover.
His cover is solid.
Xu Xuan directly broke through Fraser and accelerated to the free throw line.
The thick eyebrows of the inner line came to make up for the defense.
When everyone on the scene thought that Xu Xuan was going to choose a pass or a quick stop to end the attack.
Xu Xuan chose a small crossover, easily shook off his thick eyebrows again, and made a successful breakthrough for the second time.
At this time, Asik on the right wanted to come over but was stuck by Yi Jianlian, and the Pelican's inside line was already empty.
Xu Xuan jumped up and down in the free throw line and took off.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
I saw that Xu Xuan in the air easily made a turn of 18o degrees.
The back body is in the air, and the hands are a small loop.
made a domineering move that raged the basket.
"Back buckle, oh my!"
8 to 2!
This dunk shows Xu Xuan's perfect body's ability to bounce and stay in the air and the strength of his waist and abdomen.
The powerful back dunk smashes the hoop and buzzes.
"Beep!"
The Pelicans called a timeout.
If you don't call a timeout, the Lakers opened with a direct six-point lead.
"Have you noticed that in the last few games, the Lakers have played particularly well in the first few rounds, and once they limit more than their rhythm, they will definitely lose in the end." Kenny Smith said.
"It's still Xu Xuanmeng, 6 points and 1 assist, this is a bit big in comparison."
"The Pelicans' advantage is their interior, whether it's Anthony or Osik is the kind of interior line with strong offensive ability, they have to take advantage of that, otherwise it's a bit of a fool to use their weaknesses to hit others?"
The timeout came back and the game continued.
The Pelicans, on their side, have stepped up their interior offense, especially the coordination between Osik and Bushy Eyebrows.
Now that the Pelicans' leading scorer, Holiday isn't around, and to win, they have to have someone step up and score.
And the inside line is their strong point, and the inside combination of thick eyebrows and Osik is one of the best in the league.
With five minutes left in the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 17-12 and the Lakers led by five points.
The two teams began to make substitutions, with the Pelicans pulling Osik and Terrence Jones on the top of the five.
Terrence Jones, the 18th pick in the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft, is 6 feet 9 inches tall and plays power forward. He has played in 178 regular-season games (106 of them as starters) and averaged 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 24.1 minutes per game. Read it
In the 2013-14 season and the 2014-15 season, Jones's performance was very eye-catching, and his average data in these two seasons were 12.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 11.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
However, Jones' performance was greatly reduced in the 2015-16 season due to injuries and other factors, and he averaged only 8.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game that season. Mosaic also ultimately decided not to make an offer for him.
Finally, power forward Terrence Jones, who has been with Mosaic for four seasons, moved to the New Orleans Pelicans this summer to join the former University of Kentucky alumnus Bush Eyebrow, and the contract is a one-year salary.
According to the local media in New Orleans, although Jones is mainly a power forward, he can also play the role of small forward.
Bushy and Jones were teammates in 2012 to help the University of Kentucky win the NCAA National Championship. Before the 2012 draft, Jones had discussed with Thick Eyebrows about working together in the NBA in the future.
In the 2012 NBA Draft, Jones originally expected to be drafted by the Hornets around the 10th pick, but in the end, the New Orleans selected Austin Rivers with the No. 10 pick, and Jones was selected by Mosaic with the 18th pick.
With Jones, the Pelicans' lineup is much faster than it was just now.
Jones' first offense after coming up was to assist the thick eyebrows inside dunk.
The two college teammates cooperate very tacitly, one attracts attention, the other runs, and the passing is just right.
17 to 14.
Next, Xu Xuan sent two assists in a row, one assisted Russell to hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner, and one assisted Yi Jian to make a two-point layup, and the Lakers scored five points in a row, expanding the difference to 8 points in one fell swoop, 22-14.
The Pelicans just relied on thick eyebrows to sit inside and score, the progress was too slow and the efficiency was too low.
The two teams finished the first quarter, the score was 28-18, and the difference was extended to 10 points.
"It seems that after the absence of Holiday is a big piece of output for the Pelicans' overall offense, relying on thick eyebrows alone? Two points probably won't save them. Kenny Smith shrugged.
Comparing the data of the two cores, it can be seen that Xu Xuan topped the court with 12 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, while Thick Mei made 3 of 9 shots in the first quarter, only scored 8 points and 3 boards, but had as many as 5 turnovers.
"Thick eyebrows are a bit difficult to support alone, he really needs an outside shooter to help him stabilize his morale, and if he continues to fight like this, the game is likely to turn into a shameful battle."
Trailing by 10 points in a single quarter, isn't it 40 points in the fourth quarter?
While this is ideal, it's not out of the question based on the current state of the Pelicans.
......
On the Pelicans' bench, head coach Gentry is nervously laying out his tactics.
As Kenny Smith said, trailing by 10 points in a single quarter, the situation is already very unfavorable for the Pelicans.
"The most important thing for us here is to be more efficient and reduce turnovers, we had too many mistakes in the first quarter and there were a lot of mistakes that could have been avoided." Gentry said.
He turned his head to look at the thick eyebrows: "AD, pay attention to reserving your physical strength, you have to control the distribution of physical fitness, there are still three quarters of games ahead, you may have to play for a long time this time, be mentally prepared." Langston, you have to help AD share the offensive pressure, Buddy does off-ball running, air cutting, everyone moves, don't let AD be too tired alone!! comeon,OK? ”
Gentry shouted loudly at the five men who were going to play during the break during the tactical set-up.
Langston is the former Knicks' Langston, Xu Xuan's former teammate, and he signed with the Pelicans this summer.
Previously, the Knicks had made an offer for him, but the New Yorkers later withdrew the offer, making the guard a full free agent.
So he agreed to a two-year contract with the Pelicans, with a player option for the second year, and two years worth $10 million.
This contract is not small, with an average annual salary of 5 million, which is definitely not a low-grade player in the NBA.
And Buddy Hield is this year's rookie, this year's first-round pick No. 6, a young man with very good talent potential, and one of the supernova players who averaged 20+ per game in his previous life.
"Be positive, keep your feet moving, and don't give the opposing side a chance to score easily!!"
The good-natured Gentry yelled at the Pelicans players helplessly.
The first verse is really too loose.
“OK!!”
Everyone replied in unison.
................
The second quarter of the game is back in action!!
On the Pelicans' side, the five-man duo of Langston Galloway, Buddy Hield, Solomon Hill, Jones and Bushy Eyebrows are on the side.
On the Lakers' side, Xu Xuan was also still there, he played more than 10 minutes in the first quarter, and was replaced for a break in the last 1 minute.
The five-man group on the court was Xu Xuan, Lu Wei, Barnes, Ingram and Zubac.
Ingram was tired...... Because in this game, Coach Frank not only let him start, but also let him play the No. 4 position to face the thick eyebrows...... Ingram wanted to die.
He doesn't want to have thick eyebrows, his small body is basically white when he meets thick eyebrows...... Can't even resist.
The outside line is not as good as ......
Rebounds are not as good as ......
Physical fitness is not as good as ......
Nothing compares to others.
Looking at Ingram, Xu Xuan shook his head, to say that among these new players of the Lakers, the one he values most is undoubtedly Brother Ying, so he usually pays more attention to him and arranges more.
For example, he used to play against Durant, and now he mentions the thick eyebrows at the fourth position.
Xu Xuan will give him a chance, but if Ingram doesn't grasp it himself, then it's a different matter, after all, the road still has to be walked by himself.
The Lakers served from the bottom line, and Xu Xuan did not step forward to catch the ball at the first time.
Instead, let the second team's up Lu Wei advance with the ball.
There is no ball now, but young rookie Buddy Hield uses close pressing, constantly hitting Xu Xuan's body.
Hielde's small action was not big, not to foul, but it was enough to ensure that Xu Xuan was consumed.
Xu Xuan was a little irritable when he was hit.
Xu Xuan squirted at Hilde beside him: "Go away!" ”
"I'll kill you next, you don't want to score points."
Hilde was unmoved, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
"Really?"
While speaking, Xu Xuan directly stuck his position in the low position of the inside line and asked for the ball towards Lu Wei.
"Luis, give me the ball."
Lowe didn't hesitate, just after half-time.
Seeing that Xu Xuan was in place, he gave the ball over.
Xu Xuan successfully received the ball.
"Bag clip, go to bag clip."
Gentry shouted loudly from the sidelines.
As a shooting guard, although Hield is strong and physical, Gentry doesn't think he can defend against Xu Xuan.
Hilde pushed Xu Xuan very hard, but he was easily stuck by Xu Xuan.
As soon as Xu Xuan received the ball, he did not hesitate.
Immediately turned around and put on a three-threat pose.
Attack now.
As soon as he hesitated, the bag would come up.
Xu Xuan's shoulders shook frantically from side to side, and he continued to make feints to break through and pull out, but the pivot foot did not move.
Hilde was afraid that Xu Xuan would pull it out directly, so he ate Xu Xuan's realistic continuous feints.
Xu Xuan completely shook Hilde's center of gravity.
After shaking off a step of space.
Step to start acceleration immediately.
crossover!
Classic action again!
One step past Hilde!
