Chapter 154: Leaping over the basketball court

Liang Xiao assisted, Thomas relayed in the air, and dunked violently, Gary Payton could only be speechless when he looked at Liang Xiao, there was a lot of trash talk, but Liang Xiao surprised a pass, completely put away, as a point guard, if Payton loses in scoring, it may not matter a little, but now Liang Xiao did not choose to shoot but directly assisted, this is a provocation as a non-pure point guard to a long-established point guard,

The host of the fifth station of the imperial court saw Liang Xiao's wonderful assist and staged a battle of proof: "After Liang Xiao came on the court, he was in the point guard position, did Van Gundy ask Liang Xiao to restrict Payton on this point, it seems to be so interesting." ”

Director Zhang's hoarse voice came out of the picture: "Liang Xiao came on the court to implement Van Gundy's intention at this point, in fact, Liang Xiao's defensive ability is not necessarily so good, but Liang Xiao is not only good on the defensive end, but also very good on the offensive end, I think Van Gundy has such an idea, to let Liang Xiao contain on defense and attack early to help the Knicks contribute more firepower." ”

"Liang Xiao's pass, it can be seen that Liang Xiao has not received the trouble of his arm, it should be good."

"I heard that it was a hero who saved the beauty, hehe, this Liang Xiao is really young and vigorous, looking at his state tonight, he is going to stage his own good show, looking at the posture is like this." Director Zhang is also confident in Liang Xiao's current state, Liang Xiao used to be a cameo point guard in passing and receiving, and he didn't have much opportunity to show, and this time he announced his return.

The offensive end comes to the SuperSonics, since Kemp left the SuperSonics, Payton has a taste of being alone, there is no big man on the inside to drink his own cooperation, the gorgeous and efficient game of the past is gone, and now only Payton is left alone, but there are still many young players on the rise in the past two years, no matter what the situation, Payton still uses his own technology to lead the SuperSonics,

"Hey, Chinese boy, I'm going to teach you a lesson, let you know what a point guard is, you better hurry up and go home." Payton dribbled the ball, constantly spewing trash talk on his mouth, so that Liang Xiao was distracted during this period, but Liang Xiao didn't eat a set, but from time to time he reached out to pick up the ball in Peyton's hand, but the action was too big, after all, Payton was a long-established figure in the league, and he was really a good hand at point guard, "Hey, boy, I'm going to shoot, I'm going to shoot." Peyton kept muttering,

"Come on, old fellow, prepare a cane next time." Liang Xiao heard Peyton's muttering, and leaned forward with his body, in his previous life, the name of the glove and his famous skills, Liang Xiao still knew very well, in this case, Liang Xiao chose to lean close to prevent Peyton from getting up and shooting,

What Peyton didn't expect was that Liang Xiao actually guessed his intentions, and there was no chance to shoot, Liang Xiao's defense was very dead, so he had to turn around and push Liang Xiao with his buttocks, this is another Peyton's stunt, that is, he uses his physical advantage in the middle and long distances, constantly arching to the inside line, and few people on the outside line have a stronger body than his,

Liang Xiao kept tightening his horse steps behind Payton to prevent himself from being squeezed out of position, after Payton tried a few times, he didn't get the expected effect, he saw Lewis cut in the air, and directly hit the ground pass, Lewis threw Sprewell over, a three-step layup, and the ball fell into the net.

At this time, Liang Xiao began to sarcastically ridicule each other, Peyton trash talked a lot, Liang Xiao was unforgiving at this time: "Hey, old guy, don't you want to teach me what a point guard is, I really want to see that some old guy has no physical strength now." Liang Xiao said that the players were constantly running to the frontcourt.

After dribbling the ball past the midfield, Liang Xiao didn't choose to come by himself this time, and gave the ball to Houston, Houston didn't waste the opportunity, after passing the ball, Liang Xiao immediately made a small man's block, Houston shot behind Liang Xiao, and the ball was thrown in steadily,

Liang Xiao and Houston high-fived in celebration, and then returned to their backcourt to prepare for a supersonic counterattack.

In the first quarter of the game, Liang Xiao was on the court for half a quarter, there were not many opportunities, in the position of point guard, Liang Xiao was more passing, got three points but the assist was four points, on the Knicks' side, in addition to Houston on the outside, the Knicks' strength on the inside should not be underestimated, Thomas broke out in this quarter of the game, and scored 7 points at once, Harrington also scored 4 points, and Sprewell did not have many bright spots. Because Lewis always has a state of not being able to run, it makes Sprewell have a headache, and the consumption of physical energy is also very large.

The supersonic is mainly based on scoring on the outside and in the air, although Payton said that there is a lot of trash talk, and it has no effect on Liang Xiao, but the feel and scoring skills are still much better than Liang Xiao, in the first quarter Payton scored 11 points and 7 assists, Lewis prefers to keep running on the outside, Sprewell has been a player who can't find his own defense for a long time, so Lewis has a lot of opportunities to publish books on the outside, fortunately, he didn't hit much high tonight, otherwise, The Knicks were about to be doodied by Lewis's three-point rain, but Lewis's outside cut had a lot of opportunities, and Payton also delivered the ball to him in time, so the efficiency of coming out was also good.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, the two sides scored 23-22 points, after the supersonic got off the court, McMillan asked the players to strengthen the passing and receiving of the ball, and the lethality on the inside line was greater, indeed on the inside line, the supersonic was going to be weak, and Van Gundy's side emphasized more that the players should strengthen their defense, if they didn't work, they would implement the bag, for example, Payton's defense must be in place, for him is to implement the fill, etc., the bag must not work, and they must highlight their advantages in scoring, To strengthen the offense on the inside line, passing and receiving the ball can start from the positional battle, don't be afraid to deal with the supersonic, if you play the positional battle, the supersonic is definitely not the opponent of the Knicks,

When the head coaches of both sides arranged their players, the host of the five stations of the imperial court seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Liang Xiao's performance, Liang Xiao had 3 points and 4 assists, and he had been playing for half a quarter on the court.

"Liang Xiao is actually doing a very good job, at least in the face of Payton's restrictions on point guard is better than Easley, look at Payton now has greater scruples in shooting, Liang Xiao is much better physically, and it seems that the awareness of defense is better than some time ago, now the data may not be able to explain the problem, there are three quarters of games in the next quarter, let's take a good look at whether Liang Xiao will have a bigger breakthrough." Director Zhang's hoarse voice sounded, denying the host's evaluation,

The second quarter of the game started immediately, the Knicks still maintained the lineup of the previous quarter, Liang Xiao immediately went to the backcourt to meet Payton's offense, knowing that Liang Xiao was not a rookie to bully, after the first half, Payton immediately used his physical advantage to attack Liang Xiao, and kept sitting in it with Liang Xiao on his back, Liang Xiao could only stand and hold Payton with one hand, and he couldn't bend it with his hand when defending, otherwise it would be regarded as a foul action, Liang Xiao's right hand against Payton's strong body seemed a little powerless, After two hits, Liang Xiao had to give up, and at this time, Payton turned around and shot, and the ball hit.

Liang Xiao doesn't have many fancy moves to attack with the ball, in the NBA arena, scoring is the most important thing, and fancy moves are likely to be treated by some coaches, such as white chocolate Williams After the departure of the Kings, the Grizzlies' coach didn't like its fancy moves, which affected his career, Liang Xiao made a breakthrough and used Professor Sprewell's pendulum to pass people, but Payton's defense was in place, and after reaching the three-second zone, a knee-bending step-back jumper, the result was off, Thomas saw Liang Xiao miss, flew to grab a rebound and made a rebound,

A combination between Payton and Lewis caused Sprewell to not succeed in defense, and Lewis made a mid-range shot after cutting into the air.

Both sides alternated offenses, the gap in the score has not been opened, and there are about three minutes left in the second quarter, Liang Xiao was rotated off the court, and Liang Xiao scored six points in the second quarter, but he was still relatively good in assists, and he got four assists again, Sprewell rested off the court early, because Lewis was too good to run, and he couldn't catch up in physical fitness at all, Anderson scored six points in a row after he came on the court, and his achievements in the breakthrough were not small, Liang Xiao's score is mainly from Anderson's breakthrough shot, four of the six points are scored under Anderson's assist, Liang Xiao is still a little inexperienced in beating Payton, so it always ends with an assist, but fortunately, the assist sent is converted into a score by Houston,

In the last few minutes of the second quarter, the Knicks mainly sent substitutes to the court, Sprewell and Houston were resting off the court, Liang Xiao also went off the court, the bench was dominated by Anderson, and he faced the same supersonic bench on the court, but he did not fall behind at all, Thomas on the inside line has been insisting on the court, so that the Knicks will not face the situation after Ronaldo in the third quarter,

"In this game, Liang Xiao's performance on the point guard was not very good, and there were a lot of assists, but the scoring was a little unsatisfactory, and he had to surpass his performance in the first few games." The host saw that Liang Xiao was a little weak in scoring, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"It doesn't matter, Liang Xiao still has to look at the number of assists in point guard, if he blindly attacks, it is not a wise choice, after all, the Knicks still have other shooters, and Houston is not wasted there." Director Zhang is very satisfied with Liang Xiao's performance, after all, Liang Xiao is the top point guard in the league, and if he doesn't send an assist, there will be no place for the Knicks' shells.
