Chapter 546: Waist Pain
In terms of wholeness, of course, the mosaic side is better.
And it can be clearly seen that the Lakers' side is not as physical as Mosaic, and their spirit is not as high as Mosaic.
No way, since this period of time, the training intensity of the Lakers has increased by more than one notch compared to before, although everyone is slowly adapting, but it is not an overnight thing, it takes time to adapt.
After a short break, the final quarter began.
At this time, Xu Xuan's score has officially exceeded 40+, with 44 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.
And Harden's statistics over there are a little inferior, only 25 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds, basically being crushed by Xu Xuan.
But it's still that sentence, Xu Xuan doesn't win if he wins, the team wins.
And now Mosaic is still leading.
Both teams tacitly put on the strongest lineup at the beginning of the final quarter.
On the Lakers' side, Xu Xuan, Russell, Barnes, Ingram and Yi Jianlian are on the Lakers' side.
On the Mosaic side, it's Harden, Gordon, Ariza, Anderson and Capela.
In order to cope with Mosaic's super-fast running system, Frank put Barnes and Ingram on the third and fourth positions, respectively, and removed Randle to strengthen his athleticism.
The game begins.
Mosaic's first attack.
Harden holds the ball and breaks inside.
Ariza and Capela run to the basket at the same time.
Barnes and Ingram, who were defending Harden here, could only keep up, and as soon as they burst into the paint area, they were blocked in the crowd.
However, Harden's immediate reaction can be called swift, looking back at the moon, aborting the fast break in time, Mosaic turned to positional battle, and the ball was handed back to Gordon.
Gordon slow-chiseled Russell on the right flank.
This time, the Lakers won't allow Gordon to single Russell.
"Kill him!"
The right wing was low, and when Gordon got the ball, he shouted, Xu Xuan stretched out his right hand, grabbed it fiercely, and made a pinching gesture.
As a result, Ingram at the free-throw line and Barnes near the bottom right corner suddenly rushed up and imposed a three-man trap on Gordon.
Gordon tried his best to protect the ball, but it was useless, with six hands on his side, where could he protect it? The ball was taken away by Barnes.
The three outside lines and forwards were all on the wings, and the Lakers couldn't play a fast break, so Xu Xuan calmly held the ball and advanced.
This time, Xu Xuan didn't break through, and asked for Yi Jianlian's high-level blocking.
After the pick-and-roll, Xu Xuan burst into the paint area from the free throw line.
Capela got rid of Yi Jianlian's containment and pounced to make up for the defense, but Xu Xuan immediately stopped the jump shot after taking a step into the paint area.
"Huh!"
Hit the shot.
The 48th point of the game!
Harden comes with the ball.
Attack with the ball and hit the basket.
Xu Xuan took a step sideways and made up for the past!
Bang, the two bumped into each other? Xu Xuan fell to the ground? Harden then tossed the basketball to the basket.
A beep? The referee's whistle blows.
"This is? Offensive fouls? Barkley said with some doubts. And the other side? Reggie Miller gave a very different answer: "The referee blew for a defensive foul on Xu Xuan. ”
"Defensive fouls?" Barkley was a little surprised, and on the field, Xu Xuan also spread his hands and expressed doubts.
Because of this ball? Did Xu Xuan find a location in advance? Blocking Harden's? Shouldn't it be a defensive foul? Not even a foul.
Soon? Replays on the big screen? The replay shows that Xu Xuan stood in the forbidden area one step earlier? Then Harden rushed over, and Kenny Smith concluded: "Is this a foul that can be blown or not?" Xu Xuan stood a little late, so the referee blew it and had nothing to say. ”
O'Neal on the side also nodded: "If you watch it in slow motion?" There is nothing wrong with Xu Xuan's defense? But like Kenny said, this foul can also be blown? Because Xu Xuan had just stood in the restricted area, Harden arrived. ”
A foul that can be blown or not blown up? Then there is nothing to be done, the referee has already blown the foul, and Xu Xuan can only admit it.
Harden walked to the free throw line and began to execute free throws.
The first free throw was easily hit, and then, the second free throw was too hard and came out of the basket, Yi Jianlian immediately picked up the rebound and threw the basketball to Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan held the ball and advanced quickly, instantly playing a wave of counterattack and fast attack, forming a 2-on-2 in the front court, Xu Xuan and Russell executed the fast attack, and Mosaic only Gordon and Ariza retreated in time.
Xu Xuan quickly attacked the frontcourt, looked at both sides, and didn't find the opportunity to pass, so he accelerated with his short body and hit the basket against Ariza's defense.
Then, a three-step layup with Ariza in his right hand on top of the ball.
Ariza didn't budge.
With a bang, Xu Xuan collided directly with Ariza, and the basketball also came out of the basket.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle sounded in time, but when Xu Xuan stood up on the floor and looked back at the referee, the referee signaled that this was an offensive foul.
"Offensive fouls? What are you kidding me? Xu Xuan walked towards the referee.
He got fouls on both offense and defense, and he was really angry now.
Just now to defend Harden, you can say that he was careless and didn't "dodge" in time, but you also blew me this ball?
At this time, on the commentary bench, Kenny Smith and O'Neal's explanation of this foul was not the same as the previous goal.
"Xu Xuan ate the second foul of this quarter, and it was also his third foul in this game, this foul, the referee blew Xu Xuan's offensive foul, and from the slow motion, Ariza has been moving, so it is obvious that this is a blocking foul."
"If the last defensive foul could be blown or not, then this foul is obviously a referee's misjudgment."
Xu Xuan argued with the referee for a while, and two misjudgments in a row, if he didn't argue, the referee would blow this kind of bias whistle next.
The referee simply ignored it.
At this time, Frank Dainty Vogel on the sidelines also angrily unbuttoned his suit, walked back and forth and roared, putting pressure on the referee.
But the referee still went his own way, and in the third minute of the fourth quarter, Mosaic attacked
On the outside, Harden singled Xu Xuan with the ball, accelerated and broke through, rushed to the three-point line, and then, against Xu Xuan, leaned forward, and when the ball was thrown, the whole person fell to the ground with a bang.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle hesitated for a moment, but finally blew it.
After blowing the whistle, the referee pointed at Xu Xuan, which was a foul by Xu Xuan's thug.
In just three minutes, Xu Xuan was whistled for three fouls in a row, resulting in his original only one foul, which has now been accumulated to four!
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect that as soon as the fourth quarter was played, Xu Xuan fell into a foul crisis, and was blown three times in three minutes, with an average of once a minute...... This referee blows too often, right? Yu Jia was a little speechless.
"Xu Xuan suffered three fouls in this section, the first foul can be blown or not, and there is nothing to say if it is blown; The second foul was a complete miscalculation, and it was clear that the ball was a blocking foul by Ariza; And this third offender ......" Zhang Li said with a strange smile, "There is nothing wrong with this third offender, I just don't know what Harden is thinking at this time......."
He saw it, not only him, but I believe many people saw it, this third offense ....... It was Xu Xuan who did it on purpose......
Bite?
I obviously didn't foul, you want to for a foul, this time I'm really fouled, what can you do!
Harden rubbed his head and got up from the ground...... Looking at Xu Xuan, his eyes were full of grievance and annoyance.
Margot!
Xu Xuan's hanging man is too hateful, although he was blown three times just now, but according to his conscience, he really didn't work today...... It was purely the referee who gave him the "star whistle" and the "home whistle", which has nothing to do with him......
Xu Xuan, the hanging man, turned a blind eye, and it was a heavy blow when he came up......
Now his whole waist is hot...... Harden seriously doubted that his waist had been broken by Xu Xuan's hammer..... It really hurts now.
"Well done, boss!" On the other side, Russell and the others came over and slapped Xu Xuan one after another.
was blown foul continuously, and the clay man was also angry, not to mention that the second offense was still so speechless.
The NBA's star whistle is also divided, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James were once the darlings of the referees, and once LeBron James even had the name of David Stern's godson.
Later, the NBA's cadres were the Thunder Double Less, the Thunder Double Less, also known as the "Thunder Double Whistle", Durant, also known as "Shawland", and "Prince Du", Westbrook, also known as "Prince Westbrook".
In today's league, it is the bearded James Harden, who is also the player who gets the most star whistles, and James Harden, also known as "Body Hair Deng" and "Bump Porcelain Deng", is best at making fouls and free throws.
In terms of veteran stars, LeBron James has lost a lot of star whistles because of the decision incident, and Carmelo Anthony has also lost most of his star whistles because of the Madison brawl incident during the Nuggets period and the forced transfer to the Knicks.
Ha someone is the only one in the alliance......
Compared with Curry, who doesn't like to get under the basket too much, and Irving and others who don't like to make fouls too much, Harden has integrated various foul-making techniques inside and outside and integrated them.
However, today it is obvious that Harden's "porcelain" was forced to touch and has nothing to do with him...... In other words, this kind of regular season is not a playoffs, and he also wants to win respect with his strength...... Even if it's your own respect.
"But for the Lakers, the current situation is also very grim, and now Xu Xuan has four fouls, I think the Houstonians should have a much better chance of winning as long as they seize the opportunity." Reggie Miller said.
The Lakers are a single-core team, once Xu Xuan is sent off, the core figure is gone, and what awaits the Lakers must be failure.
And as long as Mosaic grasps this point, the odds will definitely come to a very terrifying number.
"Hey, Xu Xuan is still a little impulsive, this foul is enjoyable, but it has pushed himself to a very unfavorable point, there are still 9 minutes to go, Xu Xuan has to ensure that he has not committed a foul, and this will undoubtedly make his style of play become restricted, and many actions will not dare to do."
......
Xu Xuan's organization of the team, the distribution of the ball is not too complicated, they can play some simple offense and defense, such as Xu Xuan directly breaking through to attract the defensive ball, or Xu Xuan holding the ball with the help of cover and then breaking through to the basket and so on.
Xu Xuan did exactly what he did with this ball, breaking through with the help of cover, throwing off Gordon with an arrow step, rushing into the three-point line, and another stop-and-go jump shot, quickly throwing the basketball out.
With no interference, Xu Xuan's hit rate is still quite high.
With a bang, the basketball entered the frame, and the score became 109-114, in terms of score, Mosaic played well, and it did not narrow the 5-point difference, and the game continued.
Mosaic's offense, Gordon also wanted to hit Xu Xuan, so he turned his head and singled Xu Xuan with his back, and the jump shot that turned around was interfered with by Xu Xuan.
In terms of strong offensive ability, Gordon is definitely not as good as Xu Xuan, his strength lies in receiving and shooting, and although he also wants to practice the offense with the ball, but when he breaks through with the ball, he loses three points from the outside...... There is a saying, pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.......
Yi Jianlian, who was on the inside, grabbed the rebound, and after Xu Xuan took the basketball, he continued to press to the front court.
This time it was Harden who came to defend, and Xu Xuan noticed that the German Shuai on the sidelines gave Harden a gesture and asked him to defend.
De Shuai thought very clearly, to win the game in the simplest and most relaxed way.
Xu Xuan made a quick breakthrough, attracted the defense and quickly divided the ball, the ball passed to the hands of Yi Jianlian on the other side, Yi Jianlian scored again, Russell in the bottom corner received the ball in the empty position, and scored a three-point shot with a bang.
112 to 114.
Xu Xuan didn't go up, seeing that Harden was coming to defend, he didn't need to take the initiative to "foul" anymore, and directly chose to pass the ball.
The difference is 2 points!
The Mosaic team at the scene exclaimed, this point difference is dangerous!
But at the critical moment, Harden stepped up again.
Although he couldn't prevent Xu Xuan's pass, he hit a three-point backline from the outside line in a single shot, expanding the difference to 5 points again.
"Harden is still amazing, this ball is completely individual ability."
No tricks, no fouls, a simple rhythm dribble and then pull it up and throw it -
This is one of Harden's more incomprehensible offensive rhythms.
112 to 114.
Immediately afterwards, the Lakers' offensive mistake came, Russell's pass passed to Yi Jianlian's legs, and the quick-eyed Harden grabbed the basketball and immediately launched a fast attack.
Another counter-attack, Harden faced Ingram's reinforcement and a high throw was disrupted.
Ingram took advantage of the situation to collect the rebound, the Lakers had to attack steadily, Xu Xuan controlled the ball for a while, and then made another breakthrough, rushed into the three-point line, and directly made a backward jumper against Harden, and hit it with a bang.
A very smooth backward jumper, after the shot was hit, Xu Xuan clenched his fist, celebrated a little, and turned back to defense.
The two teams still played quite fiercely, and the score difference went back and forth, and by the time there were 3 minutes left in the final quarter, the two teams had already played 123-127!
The Lakers are still trailing by four points for the time being, and both sides scored well in this game.
