November 25, 2016, Evening, Los Angeles, Staples Arena.

The second half has begun.

And the Lakers' lineup in the third quarter shocked everyone.

"I thought about it, after all, KD's performance on the Warriors' side is indeed the best, but I never expected that Frank would be so bold and dare to use Brother Ying and Randle to implement this tactic." Kenny Smith was amazed.

The Lakers have a strong offense, especially three-point shooting, and are now the top three favorite teams in the league to shoot three-pointers, the other two being the Warriors and Mosaic.

And the reason why the Lakers like to shoot threes so much is because they have a lot of quality outside shooters.

Including Russell, including Ingram, including Nick Young, including Loewe, including Barnes, and even including Randle and Yi Jianlian on the inside, can all pull out and shoot three-pointers, not to mention Xu Xuan.

But as we all know, while their outside offense is strong, their defense is also sparse......

The defenders of the entire Lakers are only Xu Xuan, Barnes and Yi Jianlian at the average level.

For the rest, veterans Marcelo Hertas, Wesley Matthews, and Tariq Black are okay defensively, but they can't afford much when they come off the bench.

And Ingram, Russell, Nick Young, and Lowe are really sparse defensively......

The Lakers are a team that is strong in attack and weak in defense, so many times, you can also see that the Lakers are winning, but the opponent scores high points in every game.

Defense is not their strong point, and the likes of helping to defend and pinch shots can only be said to be below average.

So, usually, the Lakers don't play those flowers with you, they all use single defense, one-on-one man-to-man defense, and tactics such as pinching are even rarer.

But today, Frank not only got a pinch shot, but also got a bag from Ingram and Randle...... It's a bit outrageous!

"Can this be prevented?" Kenny Smith was skeptical.

These two people's bags don't seem to be of much use......

"Randall has a body, Brother Ying has speed, maybe it can really work wonders." Barkley smashed his mouth.

Barkley is out of faith...... Frank's tactic was really bold.

And Frank himself is very innocent, this tactic is not what I thought...... I'm just the one who took the blame......

However, he agrees with Xu Xuan's words, he doesn't dare to change in the regular season, and he doesn't dare to do it in the playoffs, if he wants to go further in the playoffs, obviously, he can't just rely on the old tricks in the past, he has to play tricks.

......

On the court, Durant had just received Curry's pass, and before he could stand firm, Ingram and Randle perfectly executed the head coach's tactics - grab the bag!

The cooperation between the two is also tacit, one card position, one stretches out his hand, and there is no two people reaching out at the same time? And then the situation of losing the position.......

"Good fit! This ball has a chance! Is it Brother Ying who is reaching out? Wow! This reach? It's too long, it's too long! Yu Jia praised.

Brother Ying's arm span is really awesome? The person has not yet arrived, but the hand has arrived!

"It looks promising, Durant shouldn't have thought that these two rookies would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head!"

The next second-

At the moment when Brother Ying reached over, Durant reacted quickly? Ball in both hands? Bottom-up? From the waist to the top of the head –

A big loop of arms!

"Smack!"

The sound of arm-to-arm thumping was heard.

"Beep!!"

This box? The referee also responded in a timely manner? Whistle and stretch out your hand to signal? Ingram steals the ball and fouls.

"Oh, this KD? A big swing of the arm directly stunned Ingram......"

Somewhat suddenly, Ingram apparently didn't expect Durant to come to the show.

Can't retreat? Directly made a foul.

At this time, Xu Xuan was sitting on the sidelines? Shook his head speechlessly? Still too young...... KD's big loop is not new, and there should be precautions in advance.

Bryant didn't know when he sat next to him.

"Xuan? You use these two silly boys to defend against KD, it's too difficult, right? ”

"You know yarn?" Xu Xuan gave him a blank look.

Kobe Bryant's expression froze...... hypnotize yourself....... I'm not angry, I'm not angry, it's useless to be angry with him......

"We use them now to prepare for the future, if we don't wrap today, there will definitely be bags in the future, and we can't rely on Matt, right? What's more, with Matt's defensive intensity, I think it is more appropriate for him to defend Klay at the second position, and the effect of defending KD is not good. Xu Xuan said slowly.

"Matt's number two? Are you already preparing for the playoffs? Bryant was surprised.

You two masters and apprentices are crazier than me?

It's only been a month since the regular season, and you're starting to think about the playoffs......

Crazy, rampant!

"It's always good to prepare an extra lineup, and when the time comes, you won't be flustered and can't find the head and tail, Frank is the same as I thought, young people want to grow, ivory tower is not a good place, how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? One of the reasons for letting Ingram and Randle help defend KD is to hone them, and the second is to train their tacit understanding, between the third and fourth positions, in my opinion, the degree of cooperation cannot be lower than between the first and second positions. ”

“......”

"Who taught you this?"

Kobe Bryant spread his hands and said in surprise, you really think about it, I never thought about this when I was playing......

"Born." Xu Xuan gave him a blank look.

Who is like you, who only knows how to play?

But if you have a little bit of a ball dealer, you won't have one more ring on your hand than that fat man......

Despised ......

Bryant was speechless.

I, a generation of "basketball gods" despised?

What is this......

Xu Xuan, you are floating, you are inflated, you dare to despise "God" now......

"Let them be more familiar with it now, and when they actually encounter it, isn't it much better than getting started directly?"

Xu Xuan watched the game on the field, with a towel on his head.

"Don't look at them a little helpless now, but it's not really important, Frank and I didn't think about winning this game, it's not a big deal to lose, we can afford to lose now......"

"Well, that's what I thought before, we can afford to lose!" Kobe coughed, trying to save some face for Xu Xuan.

"Can you afford to lose?" Xu Xuan squinted his eyes and looked over, with contempt: "So, this is the reason why you have been defeated again and again, and you are invincible in the end?" ”

“......”

Kobe Bryant was tired.

He found out that Xu Xuan couldn't communicate now...... This bastard swells!

"But fortunately, there have been two seasons and saved a lot of money for the Lakers, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come to the Lakers if you killed me." Xu Xuan took off the towel on his head and took a sip of Gatorade.

In the past two years, the Lakers' record has been dismal, but if it weren't for these dismal seasons, it is estimated that the Lakers are in a worse situation now.

Now there are also a number of outstanding young players such as Ingram and Russell, and there is still hope for cultivation and training, if it is really a bad team, Xu Xuan will not come.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Lakers are a bad team, but in Xu Xuan's eyes, this bad team still has a lot of young people worth cultivating. And this is the "alternative wealth".

From their point of view, even if these young people have good talent, it takes time to realize their talent, so the outside world is wondering why the Lakers' record this season can be so good, and they have won 15 consecutive games all the way, which is because they lack the necessary understanding of the Lakers.

Cashing in talent also depends on how to cash in.

For example, Brother Alphabet and Thick Eyebrows.

Brother Alphabet can be regarded as "self-taught", when he entered the league, the outside world did not have a high evaluation of him, and he did not pay much attention to him, and he was dedicated to "leveling" in the Bucks.

Leveling is the process of cashing in on your talent, and the speed of your leveling determines your ability to cash in on your talent.

And how long has Brother Alphabet been practicing?

From 13 years, 14 years, 15 years, 16 years...... It was only this year that Brother Alphabet slowly entered the public's perspective, and some people would think that the boss of the Bucks had changed, and now it is a young man named Giannis Antetokounmpo.

But you have to know that appearing in the public eye does not mean that you are really dominating one side as a person, you are only dominating one team at most, and there are too many people in the league to count.

And when he can really dominate one side, it is from 18 years ago, reaching the division finals in a row.

Only then did everyone admit that Brother Alphabet had really leveled up and was able to lead the team to this point.

So, how long did it take him from his debut to the real leveling up?

6 years!

It's been 6 years!

This time is not short, 10 years of reincarnation, 6 years can be regarded as a small replacement.

And the other, thick eyebrows.

The leveling time of thick eyebrows is not short, Brother Alphabet was born in 18 years, and thick eyebrows were not taught until 20 years later......

Why?

Because no matter how you blow your thick eyebrows before, the record of leading the team is so poor...... Appalling!

In that case, who can say that he is out of school?

And only after he wins the championship with the old man, will everyone sincerely say, oh, thick eyebrows can really be on their own now.

The previous ones don't count, and when did the thick eyebrows enter the alliance?

12 years, calculate, to 20 years, 8 years!

Longer than the alphabet song!

Compared to this, alphabet songs can be regarded as talented, after all, they are "self-taught".

And thick eyebrows have been learning from the old man for a year......

One is 6 years, the other is 8 years, and many professional players only have a career of 10 years, and most of this is spent on leveling......

So what does this mean?

The speed of leveling is important!

If you level up a little faster than others, you will be able to take the initiative earlier.

And now in this league, who is the fastest at "leveling"?

No doubt!

In this regard, Xu Xuan said first, no one dared to say second!

There was a magician in front, and now there is Xu Xuan.

The matter of leading the team to win the championship in the second year is something that Xu Xuan, a beast, can do.

In a way, Xu Xuan is the absolute authority in this regard!

What letter brother, what thick eyebrows have to stand aside.

Therefore, after being with Xu Xuan for a long time, young players such as Ingram and Russell, as long as they are willing to learn, will definitely be able to learn a lot and accelerate their leveling speed.

It's like knocking three times the experience pill, everyone is leveling up, but I got three times as much experience as you!

The faster you level up, the faster you can cash in on your talent, and the more you can help your team.

You see me as a bad team now, maybe in a year, in two years, I will win the championship...... Just ask if you're afraid.

As long as these young players are willing to learn, Xu Xuan is willing to teach, and when they are all out of the school, that is the time to harvest the fruits, which is definitely fruitful!

Therefore, now that he has the opportunity and time to spend more effort on them, Xu Xuan thinks it is worth it, because this can be exchanged for far more than what he sees in front of him.

......

on the field.

With 5:48 left in the third quarter, the score was tied at 72-68 and the Warriors led by four points on the road.

The Lakers asked for a timeout, Frank waved his hand, and Xu Xuan returned to the game.

The time for the decisive battle has come.

The two sides didn't set up too much tactics, and the Lakers had Xu Xuan, Nick Young, Barnes, Larry Nance Jr. and Yi Jianlian on their side.

The Warriors, on the other hand, have Curry, Klay, Iguodala, Green and Pachulia.

Only Durant was rested on the court in the starters.

After coming on the court, the Lakers' first offense.

This attack on the Lakers played a pick-and-roll strategy, but instead of the inside line being raised from the low post, Larry Nance Jr. and Nick Young in the No. 4 position on the court made a pick-and-roll in the high post.

After the pick-and-roll, after Larry Nance Jr. blocked Curry, Nick Young immediately rushed into the paint, drawing Pachulia to the basket, while also drawing Larry Nance Jr.'s defender Green into the paint.

And at this point, he passed it back to Larry Nance Jr.

Larry Nance Jr. has a long-range shooting ability, and his long-range two-point shooting is even higher than his throw-in percentage in the low post.

Now, his defenders are...... Curry, who was blocked by his side.

The reason why simple blocking and dismantling tactics can become a regular tactic in the NBA is because it can form empty positions and dislocations, which is very practical.

With this pick-and-roll, Larry Nance Jr. has formed a misalignment, and what kind of defense can Curry form against him as a point guard?

He's primarily a power forward, but he can also play center, and Curry is a joke when he defends him.

So he didn't pass the ball anymore, he shot straight and hit a long-range two-pointer.

"Good pitch, man." Xu Xuan went over and patted his buttocks, and little Larry Nance touched his head, but didn't speak, looking very shy.

Among the young people on the Lakers, he is the one who has no sense of existence...... Probably because of the relationship between the Olympics and Xu Xuan, he doesn't seem to be close to Xu Xuan.

72-70, Xu Xuan came up and got an assist.

19 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds.

He's no longer the game-high scorer, the game-high is the one who just got replaced, Kevin Durant, who has now scored 23 points.

However, he didn't rest just now, and directly led the team to play for 7 minutes, while Xu Xuan rested off the field, and he played more time than Xu Xuan.
