I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 103
"Li Xuan's static talent is really good, and the opponent's defense against him is really stressful!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Li's static talent is second to none in the NBA. I'm not bragging, it's true."

In the commentary hall of the sports channel, Director Zhang and Director Xu were full of praise for Li Xuan's previous offensive and defensive performance.

The game continued. After Francis brought the ball to the three-point line, facing Nash's defense, he did not choose to break through in singles. Instead, he used Dayao's cover to quickly start breaking through to the three-point line.

Seeing the Mavericks changing defense, they immediately hit the ball into Dayao's hands.

Nash looked at the Oriental giant in front of him, pretended to straighten his arms to interfere, and shook his head helplessly, which was impossible to defend.

Dayao was not polite either, he shot directly and made a long-range two-pointer.

6: 8!

When Nash went to the baseline to catch the ball, he passed by Li Xuan and whispered, "Li, you can't stop rushing to defend because Yao is your compatriot. Do you really want to see me being bullied for nothing?"

"Sorry, Steve, it was my mistake, and I will come to help you as soon as possible." Li Xuan replied apologetically, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

After Nash got a positive answer, he came to the bottom line to receive the pass, then dribbled forward in a leisurely manner, and came outside the three-point line to organize an offense.

At this time, Li Xuan, who was running without the ball inside, ran outside the three-point line with the help of Nowitzki's off-ball screen.

Nash has quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately passed the ball.

Li Xuan received the pass and saw Taylor, who was changing defenses, chasing after him, he did not choose to force the shot, but passed the ball to a better position.

Nowitzki received the pass in the low post on the right, looked at Jackson, who was changing defenses in front of him, and took off directly to shoot.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
6: 10!

In the next round, the Rockets still used pick-and-roll tactics.

This time, Nash skirted the screen and stayed close to Francis, making the Rockets' pick-and-roll fail.

Seeing that Dayao failed to get rid of the defense and cut towards the basket, Boss Fu could only complete this attack by himself, using his body to squeeze Nash away and break through to the basket.

Nowitzki, who was near the penalty area, quickly retracted to the basket for supplementary defense.

Francis broke through to the basket, pulled the bar to avoid Nowitzki's block, and hit the board with difficulty relying on his waist strength.

8: 10!

Looking back, Nowitzki faced Taylor's defense and missed a mid-range jumper and failed to hit again.

Dayao protected the rebound in the backcourt and passed it to Fu Boss to dribble forward.

The Rockets' tactics are very simple, either Dayao's singles, Francis' singles, or the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two.

In this round, all three tactics failed, and the ball passed to the outside after many passes.

Jackson received the pass and made a three-threat move, taking a tentative step to shake Li Xuan's center of gravity.

He was very unconvinced when he was blocked by Li Xuan before, and felt that he was careless. He thought that relying on his own skills, he could fly the rookie in front of him countless times.

Seeing that the tentative step failed to shake Li Xuan's center of gravity, he immediately started to break through to the right, but was blocked by Li Xuan, and then adjusted and tried various breakthrough techniques, but seeing Li Xuan always in front of him, he felt so relieved. He couldn't help cursing secretly: "It's so fucking difficult, how can this kid defend so well?"

Jackson was a little impatient in his heart. Seeing that there was not much time to attack, he tried to throw the blame to Mobley who was standing on the bottom line.

At the same time, Li Xuan predicted the pass path in advance, and directly intercepted Jackson's pass with a pair of big hands.

After a successful steal, Li Xuan dribbled the ball and rushed forward. He still played very slickly with this kind of ball control without interference.

Without any suspense, Li Xuan rushed to the basket very easily, dunked the ball into the basket with one hand, and scored 2 points.

8: 12!

On the next possession, Jackson got a little over the top and reached out for the ball.

Francis didn't want to pass the ball, but seeing that Dayao failed to get stuck and other teammates had no good chances, he could only trust Jackson once.

After Jackson received the ball, this time he did not choose to dribble and break through. After a tentative step, he pulled it up directly and shot a three-pointer.

Li Xuan immediately rushed forward to interfere, straightened his long arms and shot towards the basketball.

Even though Jack subconsciously raised the arc, he was still touched by Li Xuan's fingers. The basketball trajectory was disturbed and changed, and it fell directly into Nowitzki's hands.

"Beautiful! It's another block! Li Xuan beat Jackson so hard that he couldn't find North." Director Zhang explained excitedly.

Nowitzki immediately passed the ball to Nash who was not far away.

After Nash received the ball, he observed the position of his teammates, dribbled a bit, and passed the ball directly to the frontcourt.

After landing, Li Xuan rushed forward quickly, received a wonderful pass from Nash, dribbled outside the three-point line, and took off to shoot.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

"Although I feel that Xiao Li's offensive choice is unreasonable every time, as long as he throws the ball, it doesn't matter whether it is reasonable or not." Director Zhang explained with a smile.

In the next game, both sides relied on their respective strengths to score.

The Rockets relied on Francis and Yao to score frequently inside and outside, clinging to the score.

Dayao is indeed a low-post killer when he has plenty of physical strength, and he can't guard against it without double-teaming.

The Mavericks relied on Li Xuan's threat from the outside, Nowitzki's threat from the inside, Nash and Finley shot cold arrows from time to time, and maintained their lead.

In this way, the game went to the last attack of the first quarter.

Francis dribbles to the top of the key, beats the clock, and passes the ball to Jackson, who cuts to the hoop with Yao's off-ball screen.

Jackson saw that Nowitzki, who had retracted into the penalty area, quickly came up to flank the defense. Instead of rushing to the basket with his head hot, Jackson passed the ball back to Dayao.

"Wow! Screen and switch! This time Yao faced Li Xuan's defense. This is the first time the two of them have faced each other head-on in an official game. I didn't expect it to come so soon!"

"The last attack of the first quarter, the peak duel between the two Chinese!"

Director Zhang was already hoarse from shouting in the studio, so excited, so excited!

Dayao held the ball in a high position, looked at Li Xuan who was focused on defending himself, and said with a smile: "Ah Xuan, I will be blamed for bullying the small for a while. Facing your defense, I can only choose to play back to be the most confident."

"Dayao, let the horse come here!" After Li Xuan responded, he was ready for a physical confrontation.

After Dayao released the ball, he carefully controlled the ball to prevent Li Xuan from stealing it, and then tried to push back a few times, and found that Li Xuan's confrontation ability was so strong that he couldn't stand it.

So, Dayao immediately changed his strategy and turned around quickly, but was seen through by Li Xuan, and he couldn't turn around easily because of the lateral block.

Dayao couldn't turn around, and he estimated that time was running out, so he squeezed Li Xuan away and made a jump shot.

Li Xuan didn't release any water. After being knocked away, he immediately rushed to interfere, but Dayao was too tall, and it was too difficult to block the frontal cover unless it was a sneak attack.

With a bang, strike with anger!
With Dayao hitting the iron with a long-range jumper, the first quarter ended.

The score on the big screen at the scene was 24:28, and the Mavericks entered the second quarter with a 4-point lead.

The players on the field quickly returned to the bench to rest, and the head coaches of the two teams raced against time to arrange the next offensive and defensive tactics.
