Chapter 561: Passing the Ball from the Back!
“......”
When Xu Xuan jumped up, Liggins knew that something was wrong.
The force that Xu Xuan passed over was a bit unbelievable, and Ligins felt like he had been hit by a truck just now, a tragic car accident, and his bones were shattered......
"Whew!!!!!!"
Xu Xuan dunked for the first time in this game, and the bench was already cheering.
"Mom? Is this LeBron or Xu Xuan? Why do I see that these two people gradually overlap a little? Reggie Miller wiped the sweat from his head.
Carrying a person to complete a dunk so easily?
Magos, times have really changed now......
The Cavaliers attack.
Owen beckoned to TT for a pick-and-roll at the top arc, and after Xu Xuan was blocked by the wall, he immediately moved sideways and shot a three-pointer behind TT.
Xu Xuan didn't chase anymore, with Owen's shooting speed, he could only eat ashes in the back if he caught up now.
And a three-pointer like this kind of top arc, if you hit the iron, the basketball is most likely to rebound, which is why he stays put.
"Bang!"
Irving hit a three-pointer from the top arc, the basketball rebounded, and the parabola went straight above the free throw line, and the rebound was far away.
At the moment when the basketball rebounded, Xu Xuan instantly took a step forward.
In the position of grabbing rebounds, at this time he is going to turn around because he has to observe the course of the basketball, but he doesn't need to.
Because when the basketball rebounded, it had been locked by him, and he knew that the direction of the basketball rebound was in his direction.
And the parabola of this rebound is high, and the apex should reach the free throw line, so the rebounding position should be at the three-point line, which is the position of Irving and TT.
TT finished the pick-and-roll, Irving shot, he was about to enter the basket to grab a rebound, and when he saw the basketball coming towards him, he immediately stopped moving, and opened his hand to pick up an offensive rebound.
Rebounds are often picked up, he thinks that today's luck should be good, this position, he is a long man, this rebound, he is bound to win.
The basketball slid past the apex of the parabola and flew over, but just then, TT spotted a figure rushing in front of him, then jumped up and slammed into his basketball with one hand.
Xu Xuan rushed across the free throw line, took another step forward, jumped up in front of the three-point line, and grabbed the basketball with one hand with his left hand.
Fight back in an instant!
The Lakers have the second-highest number of rounds in the league for quick counter-attacks this season, even higher than the Warriors and just a little below Mosaic.
There is still only Owen who can defend in the front court, but this time the old man pressed up, TT thought about it and simply didn't move, this kind of quick counterattack he chased back had no effect, it was better to wait here.
Forward and backward pinching.
The old man was pressed to death in the back, and Xu Xuan did not go straight from the middle lane, but went around and entered from the left wing.
Irving quickly turned, James was still pressed behind, and at the same time, Russell on the other side had crossed the three-pointer.
"Hey!"
Xu Xuan saw Russell coming up, moved a step sideways with his left foot to avoid Owen's block, shouted, and threw the basketball at Russell with his left hand.
Russell turned around to catch the ball, and at this point he was unguarded, and James, like Irving, didn't react, so he played a two-handed slam dunk when he rushed to the basket.
"Bang!"
23-15, the Lakers lead by 8 points!
"Beep!"
Coach Lu asked for a timeout again.
With 8 points trailing, the situation suddenly became unfriendly to the Cavaliers.
"Nice, another assist!" Xu Xuan celebrated when he left the game.
"I can't guess it, I really can't guess it...... You can never guess what Xu Xuan is thinking, this is the most terrifying point. Kenny Smith laughed.
You think he's going to pass the ball and he plays it himself, you think he's going to play it himself, but he passes it......
"It's the first time I've seen this kind of diversification in attack, and the key is that I can still play so well." O'Neill nodded as well.
After the pause, because of the 8-point deficit, Coach Lu did not dare to withdraw the Big Three, the Cavaliers did not make lineup adjustments, and the Lakers went down Russell and Ingram, and Nick Young and Barnes went up.
Now the Lakers are playing with Xu Xuan with the bench, and the Cavaliers are led by the Big Three.
The first attack after coming up, TT successfully ate cakes on the inside, and the personal feeding from "My Emperor" -
TT looked excited after the dunk, he forced the ball on Zubac's head, and James' inside pass created a very good space for him.
23 to 17.
Xu Xuan burst into the paint area, and James immediately lifted up from the low post on the right flank, blocking the former's breakthrough path.
Xu Xuan is holding the ball with his right hand, so James's position is slightly to the right side of the forward, the huge left hand completely seals the former's small face, so that the former's shooting vision is completely lost, and the right hand is blocked in front of the former's left side, so that no matter what the former does, he can react.
But Xu Xuan did not force the attack, but stopped and made a sideways turn, facing the left flank. Originally, he controlled the ball with his right hand, but at this time, the basketball was also in the left hand, as if he was about to pass the ball.
In fact, as a point guard who enters the paint area, the ball stops next to the opponent's center, and if you don't attack the basket, there is only one possibility, which is to pass, otherwise you will definitely face the help defense and lose the ball.
In fact, Xu Xuan's passing seems to be a little slower, he could have completed a quick ball on the move without stopping, he has such vision and ability.
"Passing?"
James looked to the left flank.
At this time, Nick Young, the Lakers' No. 2 player, suddenly ran back, threw off Irving, who was following the defense, went down to the bottom left corner, and reached out to Xu Xuan to ask for the ball.
But at this moment, James "saw" that the basketball was not flying to the bottom left corner, but moving quickly to the right.
Back pass?
In an instant, he reacted, Xu Xuan played a feint in front of him and made a beautiful back pass, and what he really wanted to pass was the Lakers center behind him.
The moment he reacted, James blocked Xu Xuan's shooting sight with his left hand, and immediately shot down and outward.
But it's too late!
Xu Xuan was naturally prepared to play the back pass, and his wrists shook violently, and the basketball had already flown into Zubac's hands-
"Smack!"
"Bang!"
Zubac, who took the ball, was not polite at all, and was full of excitement to complete a violent dunk on the top of the TT's head!
TT touched his head, feeling that this rookie's saliva was about to slip to his head...... Disgusting and angry!
25 to 17!
"The Lakers played well, Xu Xuan connected the whole team by himself, you see Russell, Ingram, Zubac...... By Xu Xuan's side, there are too many opportunities. ”
What are newcomers most afraid of?
It's not a chance to express yourself!
Although Xu Xuan dominates almost all of the Lakers' possession, he is not a dictator, and he is willing to share the ball with his teammates and create opportunities for them.
The Cavaliers attack.
The old man asked for the ball.
The person who is keeping an eye on him now is Barnes, but the old man is not afraid, he is stuck in the low position, and he breaks through directly after two shakes.
Barnes defended all the way, one hand against James' chest and the other over James' eyes.
James hit hard, and Barnes defended it to the death, but it was still useless.
The referee gave the whistle.
Barnes was fouled on defense, and James made his first two free throws.
"Fack, that's not fair! I obviously didn't hit his hand, but I said that I did. Barnes complained to Xu Xuan indignantly.
Just now, the two defenders fell to the ground almost at the same time, both falling backwards, but the referee gave Barnes a whistle.
"It's good to get used to it, after all, it's the home of people." Xu Xuan waved his hand.
The old man has always been the darling of the league, and it is purely normal to give a few more whistles in a game.
1 of 2 free throws.
At the time of the second penalty, the old man missed the shot, the ball smashed on the basket and bounced off from a weird angle, Xu Xuan, who was far away, took a step forward, accepted the rebound, and turned around to launch a counterattack!
Frontcourt –
Irving and Ligins have already come back, Xu Xuan didn't go in this ball, and when he reached the three-point line at the top of the arc, he simply aimed at the basket, and without saying a word, he leaned back directly-
The shot comes with a picturesque appearance.
"Huh!"
The sun is shining in the sky, and the basket is smiling at me!
28 to 18!
10 points difference!
Not to mention the fans, even the commentators were surprised.
"Huh, in this competition, Xu Xuan has directed a good show for us again." Kenny Smith sighed.
"Hahaha, I guess LeBron didn't expect to fall behind so much in the first quarter." Barkley laughed.
"With a 10-point difference, it doesn't look like it's easy to chase."
The Cavaliers attack.
James asks for the ball again.
He was in a bit of a hurry.
Ingram didn't beat Barnes just now, but he was beating Barnes at this time.
Barnes is tough enough, although he keeps retreating by James, but every time he retreats, he needs James to come back!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Turned around!
James turned around and hit a step-back jumper -
The posture is a bit ugly, but that doesn't stop the ball from falling into the net.
28 to 20!
And — James earned another foul.
“2+1!”
At this time, Barnes was upset and reasoned with the referee.
You just judged me to be fouled, and now you're doing it again?
Lao Tzu played two fouls in two minutes, you put this fuss aside!
However, the theory is theory, and the referee still upheld the original verdict.
Free throw hit.
28 to 21.
During this time, James scored 4 points in a row by himself!
But the situation is still very serious for the Cavaliers, because Yang Shaoxia's side also opened, and he hit a three-pointer casually, but he didn't even stand in a stable position, and the whole person was about to fall, but the ball went in......
31 to 21!
The margin became 10 points again, and at this time, there was no time for the first quarter, and with the last five seconds left, Irving missed a long-range three-pointer.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were able to lead the Cavaliers by as many as 10 points in the away game!
The Cavaliers themselves didn't expect this, and James got angry, took command directly from Coach Lue, and began to arrange the tactics for the next quarter.
"Kevin, we have to pay attention to Kevin, Kevin played one quarter in the first quarter, only two shots, I don't think that's what we want to see, in the second quarter we want to focus on Kevin."
The old man's tactics are quite reasonable, and Lefu scored a total of two shots in the first quarter, who will he not fight in this situation?
Lefu nodded, he was also a little depressed, he felt good, but he just didn't have the right to make a move.
Owen was silent, slandering in his heart, this first verse seems to have you shot the most yourself, right? Putting this refers to Sang scolding Huai?
"Xu Xuan's performance is so good, 12 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, which is simply pulling the efficiency to the extreme!" Kenny Smith exclaimed.
"Hahaha, this is Xu, he can do things that no one else can do!" Barkley was delighted.
"Being able to play inside and outside, being able to play and defending, Xu Xuan's current playing style is very mature." O'Neill said.
Now I basically can't find any obvious weaknesses in Xu Xuan, it seems that he can do anything, and he seems to play everything very well.
In the second quarter, Xu Xuan rested.
On the Cavaliers' side, Love led the team alone, with James and Irving on the court.
Love came up and forced Larry Nance Jr. to eat Larry Nance Jr. twice in a row, plus two three-pointers from the outside, and almost tied the score with one person.
This guy felt really good today, he only scored 5 points in the first quarter, and only played 7 minutes in the second quarter, and he has already scored 12 points!
With 4 minutes and 21 seconds left in the second quarter, Xu Xuan returned to the court.
On the Cavaliers' side, Love also went down, and he played from the first quarter without a break until now, and James and Irving are back on the court.
Xu Xuan's first attack after coming up, the outside line did not score three points.
The rebound was taken by TT and given to Irving, and the Cavaliers grabbed a counterattack.
However, this counterattack did not succeed, and the Lakers settled quickly.
James moved to the left wing to catch the ball from three seconds away, and Ingram defended it.
Zubac immediately moved from the right wing to the left wing of the low post, and he didn't care about the defenders.
"Here, here, I'm here! I'm right under the basket, man, give me the ball! ”
TT was excited at first sight, Zubac was gone, he was free, and hurriedly beckoned to James for the ball.
James saw this scene when he received the ball, and then he could choose to drop the ball over, because of the straight pass, the rookie happened to be on top of this passing route between him and TT, and he could intercept his pass at any time, and he could only drop the ball.
However, the speed of the drop ball is too slow, there is no suddenness, and the rookie can completely return to his heart in time.
Therefore, James, who has a very high ball quotient, did not see it and did not pass it.
The main reason why Zubac threw TT is also for this reason, he is stuck between James and TT, and it depends on whether you pass or not.
Biography, I will intercept. If you don't pass, I can prevent you from breaking through the defense and hitting the basket directly after Ingram.
James chose, and he turned his back from the basket to his back and arched Ingram.
As soon as Zubac saw this action, he did not hesitate, and immediately started and rushed towards James, who was two and a half meters away.
The reason why he rushed up was very simple, James hit Ingram with his back, whether it was a real fight or a fake fight, at this moment when he was back, he couldn't see his movements, which gave him the opportunity to go up and wrap up.
After James arched, he immediately made a turning move, but instead of turning and breaking through, he didn't want to face Zubac who was eyeing him behind, but took a step back, and after opening up the distance from Brother Ying, he directly turned around and shot a mid-range jumper.
His movements are very well articulated and show his good fundamentals.
At the moment when he turned around and jumped to make a move, a figure rushed to the left side of the little overlord, jumped up directly, and covered the basketball with his palm to the basketball that had just been shot.
"Whew!
With the sound of the wind, Zubac struck hard with his right arm, and with great force in his right palm, he accurately pumped on top of the basketball.
"Smack!"
With a crisp slap sound, the orange basketball instantly flew upside down and flew out of bounds in a straight line.
"Oh!"
The audience exclaimed.
