The Eagles' defense was still more traditional, and after the start of the second half, they focused on regional defense.

Since O'Neal won three consecutive championships, in an effort to curb his unrivaled destructive power and balance the strength of the league's teams, the league has changed the rules that have been in place for decades to allow for zoned defense.

There are many types of regional defenses, and the Suns are now taking the most basic 1-3-1 defense.

The so-called 1-3-1 zone defense is the middle three, and the upper and lower lines each have one defender.

The advantage is that the defense at the top of the arc, at a 45-degree angle, and at a 30-degree angle is average, and the disadvantage is that there will be gaps in the defense of the wings and bottom corner.

However, considering the Lakers' outside shooting ability, it makes sense for the Hawks to be so deployed.

"Rebound!"

Off the field, Budenholzer yelled.

Ingram was a little anxious to shoot this ball, and the big three-point space smashed on the basket.

Ingram's shortcomings are that he is too immature and his shooting is unstable, Xu Xuan remembers that he averaged less than 30% three-point shooting per game in his rookie season, and his average shooting rate per game was just 40%, averaging only 9.4 points, 2.1 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game.

And his template Durant, who averaged 20.3 points per game in his first season with the then Seattle SuperSonics!

The gap is very big, Durant feels like the protagonist as soon as he appears, while Ingram is much worse and has no sense of existence.

His presence didn't really show up until he was traded to the Pelicans later.

In other words, this guy needs the stage very much, but his current strength can't hold the field.

To sum up: the upper limit is very high, the base level is very low, and the leveling speed is very slow!

In the turn of the moment, the Hawks have protected the rebounding ball, and now the big center on the Hawks court is Howard, and the monster is very good at grabbing rebounds, and the average of 14.5 rebounds per game at his peak is simply exaggerated.

The old monster jumped hard to grab the rebound, and the Hawks' counterattack came quickly, and Dennis Schroder, who controlled the ball, was a small man, and he shook off the frontcourt, passed the temporary opponent defender Ingram, and scored a layup.

Schroeder's style is more similar to Irving, they are the kind of people who break through very quickly, and they are a low-profile version of Irving.

At 53-58, the Hawks reextended the margin to five points.

You can't be in a hurry to play a team like the Eagles, Xu Xuan looked at his statistics, 10 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds, a little cold.

But I really didn't have many shots in this game, and it didn't matter.

Xu Xuan dribbled the ball across the half.

The Eagles' defense of Xu Xuan is naturally not Schroder, but ...... Millsap.

Originally, it was Soflosa's, but this guy is still hunched over the bench, and the team doctor wants to check on him, but he tries to stop him......

Millsap has always had mixed reviews of him as a player.

How to say it, under the basket, the mid-range shot and three-point shooting are good, and the range is enough to open up the space. The defense is active, the offensive awareness is good, and there are often inadvertently seen wonderful cuts in the game.

is a relatively stable "second master", the outside world is not optimistic about him mostly because of his contract, signed last year, 58 million in 3 years, judging from the salary cap at that time, this contract is not small, but judging from today's salary cap into this hanging sample, this contract Eagles still earned.

If Paul Millsap signs a contract extension with the Hawks this year, he won't be allowed to sign a five-year salary cap?

Xu Xuan admires Millsap very much, in his opinion, Millsap is much better than David Lee and Ruel Deng, he can do things in a low-key manner, and he can do any dirty work, not in the limelight, and concentrate on doing things.

This will be a qualified second-in-command.

Millsap's defense was good, and Xu Xuan went to the low post in this ball and adopted an upline defense, which is the Uptheline.

The so-called up-and-line defense means that the defensive player is not on the line between the defender and the ball carrier, and his position is between the defender and the basket. If it's on that line, it's called an upline defense.

On-line defense, while defending the player you are defending, you can always keep an eye on the player in charge. If a player with a hand passes the ball to a defender, the defender has the opportunity to cut off the passing route, which is called a line.

This way allows him to always cut the line between the defender and the basket, but this way is to turn his back to the basket, so it is a little inconvenient when grabbing rebounds.

The first time Millsap got closer, he blocked left and right with both arms, controlling the path of Xu Xuan's advance from the left and right, and then exerted force under his feet and began to push forward.

The power of Xu Xuan's back punch ...... Millsap had already learned from Soflosa's mouth, so when he stepped forward, he subconsciously bent a certain part of himself......

Bang!

The strong hook from Xu Xuan missed.

Looking at the ball falling from the basket, Xu Xuan smiled indifferently, hooking hands is still difficult to practice, especially for guards like him, hooks have always been the patent of big people, they are tall and have long arms, and their movements are very coordinated when they do hooks, and guards like Xu Xuan are very likely to be interfered with.

Bounce high from the basketball hoop and bounce up.

Although it was a long throw, the ball did not bounce outward, because the ball was still quite accurate, only knocked a little basket, smashed on the edge of the basket inside, and then jumped out, so it bounced not far, just above the cylinder in the reasonable collision area.

The old monster took the first step with his right foot, jumped up directly with the second step of his left foot, fished up with both arms, snapped, and a backcourt rebound was in hand.

"Attack!"

Off the court, Budenholzer immediately yelled, and pointed his right hand sharply at the front.

“fastbreak！！！！！！！！！”

The fans erupted in violent shouts.

The Eagles can also attack quickly, but their offensive ability is very strong, and the fast attack is ...... Not a conventional means of warfare.

Schroder passed the ball and came to the front court, the Lakers hit it, and the old monster behind him strode over excitedly, shouting while running: "Give me the ball, give me the ball, give me the ball!" ”

Schroeder hesitated, the monster is the boss of the current Eagles, and he can't help but give the ball, so after a crotch dribble, he directly handed the ball to the monster who followed up behind him, and also helped him make a blocking cover.

Warcraft is excited!

East and West, in his feel completely different game experience!

Those in the west are fighting all day long, doing things every day, and they are not idle for a single time.

On the eastern side, except for some teams, most of them are very harmonious, and after he came to the Eagles, he won three games and three times, and he finally experienced the feeling of "boss" that he couldn't feel at all in Mosaic.

Speaking of which, Warcraft is really full of resentment towards the Mosaic gang.

When he went to Mosaic, he actually went to be the "boss", and the dead fat man who should go to hell also told him the same, but who would have thought that Quan Te was a lie, all nonsense.

After he went, the boss didn't take it, but became a blue-collar worker.

Blue collar!

He is a big monster, the pride of the sky, the man who replaced LeBron James alone, and actually became a blue-collar worker, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became...... The current Warcraft is not the Warcraft of later generations, and the Warcraft at this time still doesn't feel that he is old, let alone that he can't fight.

It wasn't until he was traded to the Hornets next year, or even traded to the Nets by the Hornets, then bought out by the Nets, and then had to sign the Wizards with a mid-level contract that he saw as "extraordinarily shameful......

The starting point of Warcraft is too high, so high that it is unimaginable for ordinary people to compete with Lao Zhan during the time period when Kobe Bryant is rampant and Wade is killing all sides with his cheeks...... Looking at the alliance, how many people can reach such a starting point?

This also made Warcraft's mentality arrogant and wanted to let go...... Without setbacks, it is impossible!

Therefore, many fans said that their eyes were a little sour when they saw the monster in the Lakers, that is, the monster that had a calm mind and had let go of pride, and they had to admit that that kind of monster had to be liked by everyone.

......

Of course, there is another reason why Warcraft is so excited, and that is...... He just staggered the time of meeting with Xu Xuan.

When Xu Xuan was in the east, he was in the west.

Now that Xu Xuan has gone to the west, he has gone to the east again......

The two just staggered.

In good conscience, the Warcraft is not afraid of Xu Xuan, let alone instigated ...... But can I have a few encounters with Xu Xuan...... It's fun to think about.

This monster is full of confidence, he feels good in this game, he has 15 points and 5 rebounds in the half, and Howard is very confident that he can double this statistic before the end of this game!

Half-court, three-point line...... The monster received a pass from Schroder near the top of the arc.

The pass was not accurate, and Schroder was not good at organization, but the monster still stopped the ball with an outstretched arm, one step inside the three-point line, and three steps directly!

It's hard to stop.

Xu Xuan frowned, and glanced at Yi Jian over there.

Foul.

Now fouls are the best option.

Yi Jian didn't even hesitate, and stepped forward directly-

Pull it straight!

Bang!

Wow!

Beep!

Howard's entire forward posture was completely disintegrated by Yi Jianlian, and the whole person was held in Yi Jianlian's arms.

The referee also blew the whistle in time and fouled, and Howard was about to stand on the free throw line and make free throws.

While the fans cheered, Howard himself was a little depressed.

His free throws...... It's not good, it's even bad.

...... with O'Neill Half a pound and eight taels.

The free-throw percentage hovered around 50 percent throughout his career.

He would rather go to the basket than shoot free throws, but the Lakers didn't give him that opportunity at all.

The cheers of the fans were loud, and Barkley and others were also watching the show: "Oops, hey, hey, this goal won't go in, right?" No, no! ”

Before Barkley could finish speaking, there was a bang, and the ball hit the rim of the basket straight away.

Howard wiped his sweat inwardly...... Luckily, I touched the basket...... The next one should be a hit......

"Hey, friends, do you want to bet, I'll bet that Dwight won't be able to shoot this ball unless he makes a urinal-style free throw......" Barkley sneered, "and someone, don't just look at it, talk about your feelings, after all, you are like-minded people, you should resonate with ......"

O'Neill threw the technical statistics in front of him with a "snap", "I resonate with peat!" Lao Tzu's free throws are not much better than Dwight's? ”

"Pull it down, Shaq, you will lie to yourself with this, and your grandmother will not believe you!"

"Click!!" O'Neill clenched his fists, stood up, took off his blazer, and looked at Barkley with a smile: "Sir Charles, you want to die today, don't you, I think I need to send you to God in advance, you damn guy, don't run, damn it, don't run!! ”

Watching this scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping, Kenny Smith spread his hands and reluctantly took on the task of narrating alone, fortunately, the fans who watched the TNT live broadcast were used to it.

"Oh, well, Sir Charles, you guessed it, Dwight missed the second penalty...... Two penalties are not scored...... Well, I'd like to suggest that Howard make a urinal-style free throw, and as you all know, there's no shame in that, but I think it's pretty good. ”

Howard: "......"

Are you blind?

Can that also be called pretty?

At the beginning, O'Neal "swore to die", as another super big center, Howard naturally united with O'Neal.

Some fans at the scene booed more aggressively, and it was a small number of more piercing fans who booed when they saw Howard miss two free throws.

Howard was upset.

What he cares about most is what the reporters and fans think of him.

If Howard is one step closer, it may be his childlike personality.

Xu Xuan felt that the two free throws were actually nothing to put his mind down, but in Howard's opinion, this would make the media and fans look down on him.

In fact, Xu Xuan felt that Howard was too worried, the first duel between "Yao Shark" that year, Da Yao also hated O'Neal as soon as he came up.

The NBA doesn't just talk about one ball or one game.

Even if his movement speed drops now, he can still get a super large double-double in the Eagles, is it really that his strength has degraded too much?

Xu Xuan didn't think so.

At least not from the fact that he had asked the Mosaics to give him more shots.

He's still the same kid, but the alliance is no longer that alliance.

......

The consequences of not scoring two free throws are nothing in the eyes of ordinary people, that is, Xu Xuan also had two free throws that did not score, but Howard's spirit was not very good, and he was still struggling with the free throws just now.

He thought it would be nice if he could score a penalty, but he didn't make a single one...... Strong self-esteem makes it impossible for him to make a "urinal" movement...... Tangled.

Xu Xuan didn't say anything polite to him, and when he turned around, he hit Millsap with a drift back!

You can stop me once, you don't think you can prevent me every time, right?

Xu Xuan blew his fingers lightly, causing a frantic scream from Iron Fan Barkley.

It's better than pretending!

Xu Xuan was quite satisfied with what he had just done, recently he had neglected the big thing of pretending to be better, this is not good, you have to be handsome to play, you have to win the game, and you have to pretend to be better.

The old monster saw Xu Xuan's action of blowing the "pistol" for a while, Fake, I let you pretend, the limelight let you out, why are you doing any good thing.

Could it be that Lady Luck belongs to your family?
