lakers championship

Chapter 63
At the beginning of the game, there was a lot of noise about the strength of Bill's coach.

Unexpectedly, Kansas was directly beaten 9-0. If Mason had barely shot just now, Kansas would not even be able to make a shot. It is funny to think about it.

However, Coach Bill still had a plan in mind, and there was no sign of losing control during the timeout, as if it was a small trouble, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

"What do you think the Chinese will be in the final order?"

"Aren't the managers of all the teams crazy a while ago? They all want to choose him, he must be the champion."

"I hope our 76ers can get the No. [-] lottery!"

Wiggins and Embiid were chatting happily, and Pierce was not happy to hear, "Are you two here to cheer for the school, or are you here to cheer for the opponent? As an elder, I want to tell you a life The truth is, if you want to get grades, don't pin your hopes on others, understand?"

Wiggins and Embiid nodded again and again, "yes sir, you are right..."

But after Pierce finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and rushed away to Tianyang who was on the court to spout trash talk, "Boy, next season I will definitely blow you up and score 20 points on your head..."

Tiantian chuckled, "Then I can only beat your juniors to save face."

"Did you hear that?" Pierce clapped his hands at Mason and Selden, "He said he was going to blow you up, can you bear it?"

Mason and the two didn't know what to say for a while, Pierce lost a bit of momentum again, and he was so angry that he tilted his head as if nothing happened.

Back from the timeout, Kansas attacked. Center Lucas served from the left sideline and made a long pass directly to the right sideline.

Mason catches the ball and rushes to the right wing, Ellis steps forward to do a pick-and-roll, Travis is about to switch, but Mason unexpectedly hits a 3-pointer.

Finally scored, the Kansas fans cheered.

The Sequoia team attacked, Tianyang received the ball at the top of the arc, and still chose to play singles.

Devin didn't open his hands to defend anymore, but learned the tactics of the Sequoia team, sticking to the defense sideways, and let go of the route to the inside.

Naturally, Tianyang was not polite and he was not afraid of double-teaming. He directly accelerated his dribble and strode into the paint area.

Surprisingly, Kansas didn't send anyone to double-team, only Lucas switched defenses.

The opponent was tall and burly, Tianyang chose to take off with one foot, then threw the ball and hit the board, scoring 2 points.

Looking back, Kansas is the same as last round.

Selden was on the left wing. After a simple pick-and-roll with Ellis, he made a super long-range mid-range shot and hit another 2-pointer.

The red team attacked again, and Tianyang continued to attack the inside line, but it was a pity that the throw missed.Lucas grabbed the rebound and passed it to Mason for a fast break.

Another Ellis pick-and-roll, Mason takes one dribble and shoots.Miraculously, he hit a three-pointer again.

The score between the two teams went from 9-0 to 11-8 in the blink of an eye.

Tianyang finally realized that the opponent's three consecutive singles were not fooled, but the opponent's offensive tactics had changed, and the Sequoia team needed to make defensive adjustments.

Unexpectedly, before he turned around and asked Johnny to call a timeout, the referee's whistle blew, and the two had the same idea.

Seeing him walking down the court, Pierce started yelling again, "Hey, boy, how are you doing? Do you know how powerful it is? You better think of a useful tactic!"

Without time to pay attention, Tianyang went straight to the bench. Everyone in the Sequoia team gathered together. Coach Johnny said: "The opponent has decided to fight us until the last moment, so they just used energy-saving tactics. Remember what I said before? The opponent’s overall shooting percentage is relatively high, so we must defend the pick-and-roll shot, and in addition to the basic defense, we need to delay in advance.”

Travis and Grant nodded to express their understanding. They must follow the footsteps of the opponent's power forward and center when defending the pick-and-roll. As long as the opponent picks and rolls, they will immediately delay the ball holder and wait for their teammates to return around the wall. defense.

"In addition, the opponent allowed Tianyang to hit the inside line in order to wear down his physical strength. The rest of you must keep your attention at all times and be ready to catch the ball and attack at any time, understand?"

After Johnny finished speaking, Tianyang immediately waved his hand, "Exhausting energy is useless to me, I'll let them know later who is the one whose energy is exhausted."

After the tactical arrangement was completed, the Sequoia team returned to the court. Grant served from the right sideline, Marcus received the ball and went to the top of the arc, and Tianyang fell to the short corner on the left ahead of time.

After securing his position, Tianyang raised his hand to ask for the ball, and Marcus immediately passed it.

Tianyang caught the ball and hit Devin with his back, swayed to the left and turned to the right, successfully swung Devin away, and immediately turned around and shot.

The 2-point hit was effortless, but German's physical exertion was comparable to a high-intensity post defense.

Kansas attacked again, still using the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, but this time Grant stood on the three-point line ahead of time, and Mason couldn't make a shot, so he could only use the speed advantage of the small hit and big to dribble to the short corner on the right.

Granger succeeded in the delay, and Marcus rushed directly from the top of the arc to the short corner on the right.

It stands to reason that Mason is faster and should reach the short corner on the right one step earlier than Marcus, but Grant has been forcing him to take a curve instead of the shortest distance.

In this way, Mason has no way to advance and no way to retreat, so he can only twist his body and pass the ball to Lucas at the top of the arc.

It's a pity that Lucas is not Ellis, has no offensive ability, and can only pass the ball to Devin on the left wing again.

Facing Tianyang's defense, Devin was a little timid before, but with Coach Bill's permission, he did not hesitate to pull up and shoot.
Tianyang tried his best to block it, but he was stunned to go in.

11 to 13, the difference between the two teams is getting smaller and smaller, and the Kansas fans at the scene cheered.

Pierce spouted trash talk crazily, and Wiggins and Embiid were both taken aback for a while.

The Sequoia team attacked again, and Tianyang received the ball from the low post on the right side, and still played German with his back.

With the previous lessons learned, Devon no longer moves with Tianyang's rhythm, but raises his right hand high to be ready to block Tianyang's turn-around shot at any time.

But one inattentive, after Tianyang swayed left and right, turned around, broke through and rushed to the basket, scoring an easy layup.

Devin froze on the spot, still holding his right hand high, not understanding what happened at all.

It is very unfavorable for Kansas to let Tianyang score so easily, but Embiid still couldn't help shaking his head in admiration, "Wiggins, I suddenly have an idea, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"You've already said that, how can I not let you talk?"

"This Chinese's post-up singles skills seem to be better than yours..."

"Why isn't it better than you?"

"Because I'm not a shooting guard, and you are a swingman, naturally you compare with him."

"How many forwards and guards have you seen playing post-up attack? It is obviously a center forward's offensive skills, so you should be better than him!"

Embiid wanted to argue again, but Pierce suddenly said, "Stop arguing, you two are better than him, understand? The school team was blown up by him, so hurry up and think of a way!".

When the two looked up, Tianyang was defending Devon.

The defense was impenetrable, and Devin didn't even have a chance to make a strong shot. He was about to take a step back to open up space, but was intercepted.

Tianyang dribbled the ball to the left sideline at a high speed, and deliberately stopped to look at Pierce, "How? I will do what I say, you hurry up and think of a useful tactic for them!"

After finishing speaking, Tianyang raised his knife and hit a 3-pointer. Pierce's expression froze instantly.
