The strongest basket king

Chapter 71 Unexpected Opportunity

In the first game in April, the Lakers played against the Warriors at home.

Bynum was sprained in the first quarter and left the game without scoring a point. Xiang Chu was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He didn't know whether he was worried about his teammates or happy about getting the opportunity. Anyway, let's play hard.

Facing a salty fish like the Warriors who doesn't have a good insider, Xiang Chu would be embarrassed if he didn't try his best.

Although he is strong enough to be a starter in other teams, he needs more performance in the Lakers, not for the main position, team status, future contracts, and various benefits and popularity.

When you should seize an opportunity, you must never let it slip away.

Xiang Chu went up and dunked Jeremy Taylor again. After the dunk, he yelled at the buddy, feeling that he was a little afraid of him.

Warriors coach Mark Jackson is also a little speechless. It is obvious that Bynum's body and inside skills are more difficult to guard. Why does he now feel that Xiang Chu is a greater threat to them.

Domineering and destructive, he still remembers the previous game.

You can't play a purely small lineup, otherwise it will be the same as playing.

At the beginning of the game, Klay Thompson and Dorell White played well on the outside, and the Warriors took the lead. After Xiang Chu came up for a while, the Lakers took the lead.

Although Kobe scored more points, the opponent instinctively felt that Xiang Chu was a big trouble.

The Warriors replaced Biedrins, who has not been reused much this season. Xiang Chu does not seem to be as strong as Bynum, and the offensive end is only good at dunks at the basket. Biedrins has wingspan and is good at blocking shots. Maybe he can limit Xiang Chu Chu.

In addition to his height and wingspan, Biedrins actually has an advantage in speed. Of course, compared to inside players, he is a bit like a weakened version of Gasol.

But this is of no use to Xiang Chu. If you don’t have outside range, you can run fast. On the offensive end, Xiang Chu can just fight the opponent directly. Biedrins is not as good as Gasol in this regard.

Biedrins is not afraid of confrontation, but his strength is not enough, but he is still full of confidence.

"Rookie, detain me if you have the ability."

He was marginalized in the Warriors and actually wanted to prove himself. He can obviously run and block shots.

If he can humiliate the well-known rookie in front of him, he believes that he can regain the attention of the outside world. Sometimes a team is not appreciated, and the same is true for other teams.

"Okay, no problem." Xiang Chu smiled innocently as if he hadn't heard the provocation.

It's a pity that Biedrins doesn't know Xiang Chu well, and he doesn't know that silly smiles represent bad water.

Xiang Chu squeezed two rounds inside and finally got the ball.

"Girl, I'm coming, maybe you should understand what a real insider is."

Biedrins only felt the momentum of the opponent in front of him change, and he pulled up directly. He was already ready to block the shot, but at this moment, he was staggered by Xiang Chu's explosive strength.

"Come on, come on, Lakers teenager Xiang Chu's violent dunk, Biedrins has become another victim of the Warriors."

"In the last match between the two teams, Xiang Chu dunked David Lee's goal and was selected as one of the top five goals. Now this goal is obviously more explosive, and Bidlins was almost killed."

The Lakers cheered from the bench. Although it was only a few games, they were used to Xiang Chu's performance, and it was so cool to watch.

But Xiang Chu doesn't seem to be that explosive. This guy seems to practice more equipment every day. A few young people in the Lakers team have ideas, and they also need to practice more.

Xiang Chu trained so hard this season and improved so fast, they all noticed that Xiang Chu is playing well now, although they are a little jealous, they are convinced.

After Xiang Chu played, the Lakers played lively, but they only led by single digits at halftime.

The Warriors' offense is good, not only on the outside, but David Lee, a special insider, is also difficult for the Lakers to limit.

Xiang Chu himself has been improving all the time, but the rate of improvement other than divine skills is relatively slow.

If it weren't for his magical skills, he really wouldn't be able to play in the NBA.

But right now, he's definitely one of the most promising rookies in the league.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is a typical example of rapid progress.

Bynum can no longer play, and Xiang Chu must start the second half.

His partner with Gasol is more comfortable than his partner with Bynum, especially after he has an offense, he can be inside, Gasol can be raised to a high position, and both sides can play their roles well.

In the third quarter, the Lakers still had three strong points. If it is an exaggeration, it can be said to be four. Xiang Chu performed well in the first quarter, and Sessions also performed well this time.

Xiang Chu played very crisply in the low post, strong if he could, and passed the ball if he couldn't. He cooperated very closely with Gasol, coupled with his outside play, the team's lead quickly reached double digits.

It's just that Xiang Chu is in the main lineup, and the team is a bit miserable during the rotation period.

The Warriors Nate Robinson and new aid Richard Jefferson played well. The two hit six three-pointers, and within a few minutes they evened out the score gap of more than ten points, which shocked Mike Brown into a cold sweat.

But after the main force returned to the court, the Warriors immediately withered. Xiang Chu was still a little unreliable in it. When Gasol was there, the Lakers could rest assured to expand their defense.

In just a few minutes, the Lakers regained a double-digit lead.

Moreover, with a lead of more than [-] rebounds, the Lakers' outside shooting is also very reassuring, and they also made good three-pointers in the final quarter.

In the last few minutes, the Warriors lost their fighting spirit, and the Lakers won the game firmly.

Xiang Chu scored 14 points and 15 rebounds, and had another handsome double-double. He played tough games consecutively, and his strength has also been recognized by the public.

A blue-collar who can only grab rebounds has become a threat to the basket and has a good physical fitness inside player. Although there are still many technical flaws, his potential is very good, and his evaluation is much higher than before.

The growth rate of the heat value has increased again, but it will definitely not be able to draw magic skills in a short time.

Bynum left early to accept the inspection, X-ray examination showed no fractures in his left ankle.

Bynum said he could grit his teeth and persist in the game, but the team did not intend to take risks and at least let him rest for one game.

In an interview after the game, Xiang Chu said: "I will do my best when I am on the court. It doesn't matter whether the role is the main force or the substitute. I only hope that the team can win the game."

"Andrew may be a little tired, I hope he can recover well."

Xiang Chu didn't lie. Even if he has two supernatural skills, his overall strength is still not as good as Bynum's. The team needs Bynum's contribution.

Kobe believes that even if Bynum is absent, the Lakers can still win. "We have no problem. Xiang Chu is good enough. Like Sessions, he is a player who can provoke offensive responsibility in a game."
