Chapter 256Xu Lang officially became the boss of the Eagles! !

It's just that, just when everyone thought that this game might turn into a shameful battle for O'Neal and a brutal battle for the Heat.

The Heat are telling everyone with their actions that they are not so easy to be beaten down.

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Heat's bench lineup played some different performances first.

After the first three games, the Eagles know very well that although the Eagles' bench lineup this season has been running in for a season, it is already very good!
But compared with the old guys of the Heat, the Hawks' bench players are too young and have too little experience in the playoffs!
At least in this round of the series, the Hawks' bench lineup is somewhat inferior to the Heat's bench lineup.

Especially for Mourning, several inside players of the Eagles are a little bit at a loss!

Originally, the Eagles still had a Theo Ratliff who could fight well with Mourning.

However, in this game, Theo Ratliff was unable to play due to physical problems.

Mourning, however, directly rejuvenated when facing the Eagles' young substitute inside players.

Although, Xu Lang and Josh Smith both stayed on the court during the rotation time at the beginning of the second quarter of the Eagles game.

However, because Xu Lang needs to replace Tony Parker to deal with Dwyane Wade's outside offense, the Eagles can only rely on the young Jermaine O'Neal for the inside defense.

Then, when Xu Lang and Josh Smith were on the court at the same time, the Eagles' bench lineup would not only be able to completely blow up the Heat's bench lineup, but it would definitely occupy a certain advantage, but it didn't happen.

Of course, on the one hand, it is also because Pat Riley also left Wade on the court when Xu Lang played.

Even in the first quarter, Dwyane Wade played the same 11 minutes as Xu Lang.

But Wade is young, and youth is sometimes capital.

In addition, although Wade does not have Chamberlain's exclusive physical skills, Wade's physical fitness is also among the top three in the league.

After all, as a player who can grow up after being devastated by Pat Riley for 4 years, physical fitness is the first condition.

In addition, in today's game, I don't know if it was because of being stimulated by Xu Lang, or Wade became more and more accustomed to the first quarter of the game, and the Heat's tactical arrangement of focusing on themselves.

Wade's offensive state in this game is surprisingly good.

As soon as the second quarter came up, Wade also continued the game state of the first quarter.

The state of the game is very good. After Wade's offensive power has reached 95, the offensive explosive power he can cause is astonishing.

Then I saw that Wade, who was fully fired, cooperated with Mourning, who used his experience to beat Jermaine O'Neal in a daze, and began to lead the Heat on a difficult journey to chase points!

Mid-range emergency stop jumper, back turn jumper, folding layup after breakthrough.

In the first half of the second quarter, Wade played like the god-like man he used to be, able to shoot, shoot, and defend.

Fortunately, although Wade played very passionately and well, the Eagles also played well under the leadership of Xu Lang.

Xu Lang even changed his offensive style of focusing on the outside in the first quarter, but began to frequently attack the defender behind him in the low position to complete strong moves again and again.

After all, although Xu Lang had to go to the outside line on the defensive end because of Tony Allen's rest, but on the offensive end, Xu Lang really wanted the inside offensive experience that belonged to O'Neal after O'Neal left the field!

Therefore, throughout the first half of the game, even the player who defended Xu Lang later became Mourning!
Xu Lang still didn't give up at all, but with two powerful impacts, he pushed away Mourning's defensive position, just like pulling onions on dry land, and completed a two-handed dunk against Haslem who came over from the supplementary defense.

"Oh, if Xu Lang's performance on the offensive end in the first quarter was also very good, but there is no way to compare with his performance on the defensive end against O'Neal in the interior."

"Then in the second quarter, Xu Lang directly used an extremely tough inside attack to prove it!
Not only is he comparable to O'Neal on the defensive end, Xu Lang also has an inside dominance that is not weaker than O'Neal's on the offensive end. "

Hakeem Olajuwon looked at Xu Lang who had just pushed past Mourning's defense and dunked with both hands.

Before he knew it, he gradually became Xu Lang's supporter like Charles Barkley.

Speaking of the truth, it's not that Olajuwon is too unreserved!

It is true that Xu Lang, with a height of 2m01 and a weight of 101kg, pushed against Mourning, a player who was a circle larger than him in terms of height and weight, and completed the dunk performance with both hands. The impact brought was too great .

It's like Charles Barkley, with a height of 1m98, was able to face a group of strong men in the penalty area and complete various dunks.

Barkley: ..., 1m98?Rumors, slander, I want to sue you for slander!
This difference in height and weight even made Xu Lang's dunk action in the interior more impactful than Barkley back then.

At least in this half of the game, Hakeem Olaju even somewhat agrees with what Barkley said, that Xu Lang should be an inside player and appear on the NBA court.

Just when Xu Lang started to overwhelm the inside, Pat Riley replaced O'Neal in time in the second half of the second quarter.

Originally, at the end of the first quarter, Pat Riley wanted to keep O'Neal in the second quarter because of his unfavorable offense and frequent one-on-one calls by Xu Lang on the defensive end because of his relatively slow moving pace. Some time off the field.

It's just that, looking at it now, O'Neal may have various problems if he stays on the court.

However, when Xu Lang is on the court and O'Neal is not on the court, the Heat's inside line is likely to be directly pierced by Xu Lang like the Eagles' inside line in the first game.

And compared to the old O'Neal, Xu Lang is younger, has better physical fitness, and is better at dunking.

Therefore, if Xu Lang is allowed to continue such a strong attack, the Heat will even be directly defeated by Xu Lang.

And as expected, after O'Neal reappeared, Xu Lang immediately changed from an inside-based offensive method to an outside-based attack!

However, after O'Neal came on the court, Xu Lang couldn't continue to make trouble in the interior.

But Xu Lang, who returned to the outside to attack with the ball, is also an offensive sharp knife that the Heat can hardly limit.

Like the first quarter, the second half of the second quarter will be played.

After Xu Lang regained his focus on outside offense, he still maintained an excellent offensive efficiency by calling O'Neal or any player on the Heat one-on-one.

And compared to the first quarter of the game, Xu Lang is still in the process of adapting to the new attribute panel behind his current attachment.

In the second quarter of the game, as Xu Lang played more and more and became more proficient in his own attributes and physical condition, his offensive performance naturally began to become more and more brave.

And Xu Lang, from his style of play where he can gain a great advantage in physical confrontation with anyone, slowly began to appreciate the joy of LeBron James!

After all, if it is purely based on the strength attribute, Xu Lang's current strength attribute value is not weaker than LeBron James.

Moreover, because Xu Lang's offensive skills and control and utilization of the body are obviously stronger than LeBron James.

Therefore, in terms of strength, Xu Lang is also stronger than LeBron James.

Coupled with Xu Lang's fiery three-point shooting and mid-range shooting in this game, Xu Lang's offensive performance has become more and more difficult to limit.

But, it's still the same problem.

In addition to Xu Lang, it is very difficult for the Eagles to find another player with good offensive ability on the offensive end!
Because it is the first year of reconstruction, the current main players of the Eagles are either too young and do not have enough game experience and offensive ability.

Either he is a pitcher or a defensive player, used as the second or third scorer to help Xu Lang check for omissions, which may be okay.

But it would be a bit embarrassing to let them attack with the ball one-on-one when facing the defensive strength of the Heat!

Of course, it doesn't mean that no one can attack with the ball at all, it's just that under the defense of the Heat's level, except for Xu Lang, the offensive efficiency of other Eagles players with the ball will be ugly.

So in the second half of the second quarter, Xu Lang still had the same rotation time on the offensive end as in the first half of the second quarter, focusing on his own offense and supplemented by passing.

This also made Xu Lang start to play more and more like an enhanced version of LeBron James!

However, in comparison, LeBron James can only play this way, while Xu Lang is forced to only be so big.

At the end of halftime, the Eagles continued to expand their lead to nine points under the leadership of Xu Lang.

It's just that those leads don't come without a price.

Although Xu Lang has the exclusive skills from Chamberlain, even if his physical fitness is not as good as that of the former Marshal Zhang, he can achieve great achievements day by day.

But it is definitely one of the best physical status in the active league.

But even Xu Lang's perverted physical condition can't stand it now!
A high-intensity offensive and defensive confrontation of more than 20 minutes of continuous combat.

Especially on the defensive end, Xu Lang needs to face O'Neal who is heavier than himself and stronger than himself.

On the offensive end, Xu Lang had to carry the entire Eagles' offense on his shoulders.

It also made Xu Lang's physical fitness decline faster than the normal period.

You know, since Xu Lang obtained the exclusive physical skills from Chamberlain.

Even in such a high-intensity game in the playoffs, it is rare for him to appear sweaty and panting at the end of half a quarter.

In this game, after playing 22 minutes in the entire first half of the game, Xu Lang was drenched in sweat when he left the field.

After sweating profusely, Xu Lang drank three bottles of energy drinks after returning to the locker room.

Then he replaced the completely soaked jersey and replaced it with a spare set of dry jersey before he slowed down a little.

"Damn it, it seems that we still need to play less inside lanes in the future. It's too fucking tiring to play offensive and defensive inside lanes."

To be honest, Xu Lang also played inside before, but because Xu Lang knew very well before that his physical fitness was limited.

Therefore, when playing inside, often only one of offense or defense is considered.

It is rare for a game like this one to take into account both defense and offense in consecutive 20-plus minutes.

Especially this time, the inside defensive opponent is O'Neal, an overweight center player.

It also exhausted Xu Lang's physical energy. For the first time after entering the playoffs, he couldn't keep up with his recovery speed!
Fortunately, although Xu Lang was as tired as a dog in the first half of the game, the effect was excellent.

Not to mention that the Eagles ended the halftime game under their leadership and almost led by a double-digit score advantage!
Even Xu Lang's own personal data reached an extremely terrifying level under the crazy performance of the half-time game.

At the end of the halftime game, Xu Lang alone had scored 35 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, three blocks, and two steals.

What's even more frightening is that while Xu Lang obtained these statistics, he also kept his total shooting percentage above 60%, and his three-point shooting percentage above 50%.

And these were not the most frightening things about Xu Lang in the first half of the game.

The most frightening thing was that Xu Lang really managed to fight against an entire team alone in this game.

You must know that throughout the first half of the game, the Eagles scored a total of 56 points.

And Xu Lang scored 35 points alone, plus his 6 assists.

This basically means that 95% of the Eagles' scoring in the first half of the game was scored or directly created by Xu Lang himself!

On the defensive end, the Eagles relied entirely on Xu Lang to withstand O'Neal in the paint. The impact of Dwyane Wade and others on the basket was able to limit the Heat's scoring to 47 points in the first half. .

At least in this game, no one can doubt that the entire Eagles team is carried by Xu Lang alone.

From the eyes of the group of young players from the Eagles looking at Xu Lang, they were full of admiration.

It can be clearly known that Xu Lang has officially become the absolute leader and absolute boss of the entire Eagles at this moment.

Now even Michael Jordan at his peak, entering this Eagles team, might not be able to compete with Xu Lang for the leadership of the Eagles!
Although, from the beginning of this season, Xu Lang has become the nominal boss of the Eagles with the support of the Eagles management.

But at the beginning of the season, as a rookie player, Xu Lang was not recognized by most of the Hawks.

For example, Zach Randolph, for example, Tyronn Lue, etc.!

Even, Zach Randolph even started to compete with Xu Lang for the boss at the beginning of the season!
Fortunately, with the departure of Zach Randolph and other thorns, both the players and the coaching staff of the Eagles have slightly calmed down the idea of ​​competing with Xu Lang for the team leader.

Then, as Xu Lang's performance became better and better, the Eagles also played better and better under Xu Lang's leadership, and their record got higher and higher.

Only then did Xu Lang slowly secure his position as the boss of the team, but the boss of the team was just the boss of the team.

Once the Eagles come to a top star in the league at this time, Xu Lang's position as the boss and leader of the Eagles still has a high chance of being shaken by the new superstar in an instant.

Or when the Eagles management no longer favors Xu Lang, Xu Lang's position as the boss will easily be peeped by other players.

But now, after this game, even if the management of the Eagles is no longer optimistic about Xu Lang, as long as Xu Lang is unwilling to leave, there is a high probability that it will be difficult for Xu Lang to be the leader of the Eagles.

At this time, we can see the importance of Dan Feigen's decision to add a right of denial to Xu Lang's rookie contract!

However, after seeing Xu Lang's growing prestige in the Eagles, Mike Woodson had some relief and regret in his eyes.

The good news is that with Xu Lang's performance this season, Mike Woodson feels that he should have a great chance to touch the final O'Brien Cup in his lifetime.

Regrettably, even if the Eagles were able to win the final championship and win the O'Brien Cup, there is a high probability that no one will think that this is due to the head coach Mike Woodson.

Just like Phil Jackson once, if it wasn't for later, Phil Jackson won three consecutive championships by relying on O'Neal and Kobe.

All his life, he could only be regarded as a thigh-hugging coach who won six championships by hugging Michael Jordan's thigh.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Let's get a championship first and then talk about it."

Compared with the happy atmosphere in the locker room of the Eagles, the Heat's side is a little dull.

After all, in the last game, the Heat were able to abuse the Eagles at home, but in this game they were abused by the Eagles.

And what makes the Heat players even more uncomfortable is that the Eagles are still head-to-head. Relying on their own hard power, they overwhelmed the Heat in the game.

Especially for Dwyane Wade, who is also a defender, in the first half of the game, he was completely the same as Xu Lang as the team's main attacker, but there was a huge gap in the team's results.

It also makes Dwyane Wade full of unwillingness now.

It's just that Wade doesn't think it's because he's not as good as Xu Lang, it's purely because Wade thinks that O'Neal played him a bit in this game.
