The strongest basket king

Chapter 69 First in the West
"The mighty overlord!"

The contempt was not over yet, Xiang Chu's fans swiped the screen in various sports forums.

In the final quarter, the Warriors' perimeter players played very well, completely crushing the Lakers' perimeter players.

However, their inside line was also overwhelmed by Xiang Chu and Gasol, and the score could not be recovered at all.

The Lakers team may only have Bynum a little unhappy, because his playing time is the lowest in the season, and he is still sitting on the bench at the last moment.

But this has little to do with Xiang Chu, it's his own poor performance.

For a lot of time in the second half, Mike Brown would rather play in the lane, probably to make Bynum reflect on himself.

The Lakers beat the Warriors 114:101. Xiang Chu had a large double-double with 17 points and 17 rebounds. His scoring and rebounding minutes were all season highs.

After the game, Xiang Chu was interviewed by reporters, he was full of energy, and it was cool to be able to score.

"I have been training offensive skills, and my teammates have given me a lot of help. Just as the Warriors' inside line is relatively weak, I have used the skills in training."

It is inevitable to hurt the warriors, of course, on the surface, you have to pretend to be honest and outspoken.

In addition, there is still a need to pretend, and he continued truthfully: "Sure enough, dunking is the most suitable offensive method for me. I will do my best dunking before other offensive skills are honed."

All the jabbering guys on social media stood up, let's see if I will buckle you when everyone is facing each other, Xiang Chu was elated.

Of course, social media should also be updated immediately.

"The essence of offense is that simple, haha!"

There are still people who are bitter and scolding him, but the voices that support him instantly drown out those discordant existences. The team wins, the data is harvested, Xiang Chu's performance is so strong, the sunspots will naturally feel guilty, and will naturally be rejected Weaken combat effectiveness.

Xiang Chu's performance this time also attracted the attention of various media. The Los Angeles Times wrote, "The Lakers' biggest gain this season is comparable to Bynum's insider."

The San Francisco Chronicle said, "There is no defense, the Warriors have not found the direction to move forward, and Mark Jackson must take responsibility for it."

ESPN also issued a report, "Lakers teenager Xiang Chu ravaged the basket, and he said he has mastered the essence of offense."

Xiang Chu found that with more media attention, his popularity increased faster.

The value of athletes is reflected in the game, this sentence is really true.

Xiang Chu had scored in double figures before, but it was not as shocking as this game.

His status in Los Angeles seems to have improved a lot all of a sudden.

There are even some so-called experts repeating the same old tune, that is, by trading Gasol, the Lakers can make room to pursue star guards. Kobe became complete before retiring, and Xiang Chu is the future of the team.

Whether back home or in Los Angeles, he's getting more compliments.

Xiang Chu is very happy, but he is not addicted to it. He needs to work harder to become stronger.

One is that he is not strong enough, it is nothing to do well in a game, he is still a substitute in the end game, he is very self-aware, and the other is that he still has eight magic skills to draw, and the magic skills need to be upgraded. Power, don't you want to see how powerful ten full-level magical skills are added to your body?

Just like playing a game to clear the level, Xiang Chu now has a clear goal.

However, it is not so easy to kill the Quartet. Xiang Chu has increased his strength, and his functions overlap with the Twin Towers. He may not have the opportunity to use his skills against opponents that the Twin Towers cannot deal with. The crux of the Lakers has never been inside.

Back from Golden State, the Lakers will face the No. [-] Thunder in the West.

Along with the Thunder, Fisher was sent away by the Lakers in order to save money.

Lao Yu did not report to the Rockets after being traded, and the two sides also reached a buyout agreement, and then Fisher joined the Thunder, which is more capable of competing for the championship.

In the current West, Kobe is a bit older, Duncan is a bit older, Nowitzki is a bit older, and the Thunder has all-star Durant, Westbrook, and a powerful sixth man Harden, who can help defend The key to Ibaka, the key is that they are all young. These young people have held the No. [-] position in the Western Conference since the beginning of the season.

But at the beginning of the game, it was the Lakers who were playing at home. Kobe and Bynum both showed their desire for victory.

More importantly, they did a good job defensively, keeping a close eye on the Thunder's two All-Star players.

The Thunder are strong in several strengths, but their role players have no scoring ability, which is worse than the Lakers. The Lakers' strategy is to focus on defense, and it seems to be working well now.

After Xiang Chu came on the court, he faced the white insider Nick Collison. This kind of insider who is not as physically fit as him, he has no problem dealing with it.

It's just that it's okay to grab rebounds, but he must enter the characteristic distinction when attacking. Collison desperately pushes him out, and it is still impossible for him to kill people during the rotation.

The inside line is only one aspect, and the key is the defense against Harden from the outside line. Harden hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, which sounded the alarm for the Lakers' defense.

But the more troublesome thing is Durant, who came back on the court after a break. Durant didn't feel good before, but after taking a break, he was obviously much stronger. His height is too difficult to limit.

With the inside tyrant skills, Xiang Chu can be said to be invincible inside during the rotation period, but the main attack point of the Thunder is outside, and even Fisher performed better than the Lakers.

With Xiang Chu's 6 points and 6 rebounds and the full play of the team's three strong points, the Lakers led by 5 points at halftime.

The Lakers also attach great importance to this game. The playoffs are getting closer and closer. For some competitors, they have to do their best to find out.

During the intermission, Mike Brown praised the team's defense, "Keep it up, and the victory belongs to us."

Mike Brown is right, the Thunder's role players are basically impossible to break out.

However, how can an All-Star player be blocked so easily, especially when restrained in position.

As soon as he played in the third quarter, Westbrook showed his power and scored 17 consecutive hits.

The Thunder went ahead and led by 10 points. After Xiang Chu scored 4 points in a row during the rotation, the Thunder sent Perkins to push him out. They were strict with him and did not ignore him just because he was a rookie.

At the end of the quarter, the Lakers still couldn't guard against Westbrook, and the same was true for Durant. The two brothers took turns, and the Lakers had no chance to catch up with the score.

The Thunder now have a complete lineup, and Sefolosha's defense is very resilient.

In the past, when Kobe's physical strength was good, his hit rate was higher, but once his physical strength declined, the situation was different.

There is obviously a gap between the Lakers and the number one in the West.
