Chapter 30
Motaiyunas had just received Lawson's pass, and he had to support Lawson at this time, so he ran to Lawson's side to comfort him.

After listening to Motiejunas's words, Ariza pulled Lawson to the other side of the court, secretly said something to him, and asked him to watch Harden teach this ignorant kid a lesson.

Ariza's words calmed down Lawson's emotions, and he looked at Harden who was holding a basketball in his hand.He believed that this brother who had a beer together in the nightclub would definitely embarrass Xu Tian and help him avenge his death.

Although Xu Tian has a plan to restore the atmosphere in the locker room, but that is a long-term thing. Now more attention should be paid to the ongoing training match.

In the summer, Xu Tian carried out devil-style training, which mainly focused on strengthening his physical fitness and strength. These two trainings made great progress in his physical strength.Now as long as the breakthrough is not too excessive, it can completely sustain the audience.

Just now Xu Tian's dunk made Harden a little angry, and the idea of ​​wanting to give Xu Tian some color was a little bit stronger.

The rhythm of dribbling gradually accelerated, and Harden used a simple change of direction to come to Xu Tian's left side, accelerating towards the inside line.

Harden's singles scoring has always been at the forefront of the league, and he is very familiar with this offensive method.Facing Xu Tian, ​​who was not particularly experienced in defense, he didn't feel any pressure at all, and deliberately slowed down to let Xu Tian fall into position.When he was about to enter the penalty area, he took a step between Xu Tian's feet with his right foot. After getting stuck in Xu Tian's defensive position, he took a left step with his left foot and passed Xu Tian with a beautiful European step.

In order to avoid fouling, Xu Tian didn't reach forward with both hands.At this time, his defense was useless, and he could only rely on the inside defense, but the other members of the red team didn't even look here.

Harden hit the basket with his left hand, turning the score into 40-34, and the White team led by 6 points.

Harden gave Lawson a high-five as he retreated.His goal just now was simply to teach Xu Tian a lesson, but since he could give Lawson a favor, he accepted it by the way.

Most of the Rockets lineup this year are new faces. Except for Trevor Ariza, a small forward who has been the boss of the Rockets for a short time, his teammates are not firm, so he also needs to win people's hearts.It's not that he's afraid of Xu Tian, ​​a new recruit, it's Howard who makes him afraid.

Dwight Howard was the last high school student No. [-] pick before the age limit. He was the main center of the "Dream Eight". One, the other is Kobe.).

In the 12-13 season, in a four-way deal, Howard went to the Lakers and formed a weakened version of F4 with Kobe, Paul Gasol, and Steve Nash.But because of poor running-in (rumored to be due to conflicts with Kobe, but there is no evidence to support this), coupled with a back injury, his performance is far worse than that of the Magic.

Although the Lakers entered the playoffs with Kobe, Kobe fought too hard that season, causing him to rupture his Achilles tendon.It is precisely because of this that Lakers fans have a lot of resentment towards Howard.

After a disappointing 12-13 season, Howard parted ways with the Lakers and announced his signing with the Rockets in the fall of 13.Because he was still a top star at the time, and Harden's status in the league was not high at that time, so the Rockets have never had a clear boss, and it has been unclear for two years.

After being eliminated in the playoffs this summer, both Harden and Howard were somewhat dissatisfied with each other. A crack appeared between the two cores, and coach McHale, who was incidental, was involved.

Capela told Xu Tian about these situations in Las Vegas in the summer. If Capela hadn't informed him, he would have no idea that the Rockets were on the verge of splitting up.Otherwise, he wouldn't have to find a way to fight for control of the locker room as soon as he arrived.

Xu Tian threw away these thoughts in his mind and started to move hard. No matter what is going on outside the court, as long as he enters this basketball court, he must play hard.

Now that the ball is in Lawson's hands, Xu Tian also understands that it is difficult to touch the ball again, so it is purely a tactical exercise.

McHale looked at Xu Tian with a correct attitude, and suddenly had a plan to win Xu Tian over.He lacks the support of his players now, and Xu Tian is completely isolated in the team, so he can just let him join the camp that supports him.

Kevin McHale is a famous star of the "Green Army" Boston Celtics. He was teammates with "Big Bird" Larry Bird during his player period. He has won 3 NBA championships together, and his player career is brilliant enough.

Compared with his outstanding player career, McHale's coaching experience is much inferior, and because he always freezes the leading players at critical moments of the game, he is also nicknamed "refrigerator" by domestic fans.

麦克海尔在05和08-09担任过森林狼主帅，从11年开始担任火箭主帅，最高光的表现是在上赛季率队打入西决，不过在西决中1-4输给了金州勇士。

Terry found two people with a good attitude on the loosely defended field, one is Xu Tian who is actively running, and the other is Capela who is working hard to defend.The attitudes of these two people made his messy mood a little better.

Harden took the initiative to defend Lawson, released water while defending, and was easily passed by Lawson.

After Lawson passed Harden who was pretending to defend, his front was flat.

The white team has no one to help, they want Lawson to play.

Lawson felt that no one would come to defend, and ignored Capela in the interior, so Capela blocked the shot.

Capela's move made Harden, who was defending with his eyes, a little dissatisfied. The purpose of his intentional release of Lawson was to let Lawson perform.Now that the second grader jumped out to obstruct him, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Howard is usually careless, but he also has a careful side. He saw Capela high-five Xu Tian when Xu Tian was on the court, so he paid some attention to Capela.Now seeing that Capela blocked Lawson's layup, Howard immediately realized that Capela might have been influenced by Xu Tian, ​​and began to defend seriously.

Thinking of this, Howard looked at Xu Tian who was retreating quickly, which made him realize that this kid is not simple.

Bickerstaff knows what's going on in the team and he has a great relationship with the players.But he doesn't want to be involved in this. After all, if McHale dismisses get out of class, he will be the first to benefit.

Li Lang couldn't figure out the stakes in this, he just praised in his heart, what a hat!

From Li Lang's point of view, there were only some quarrels on the field, but overall the game was relatively smooth.

Kardashian has sent the video of Xu Tian yelling at Lawson to the TMZ reporter. It won't be long before this video will appear in the TMZ news.

Xu Tian didn't know the thoughts of the people around him at all. He was disturbed by the outside world at first, but now, he had completely forgotten about those things and concentrated on defending.

The score remained unchanged, and Xu Tian's red team fell behind by 6 points.

Xu Tian clearly knew that without the support of his teammates, they would lose the game.So what he can do now is not to be scored too much by Harden when defending.

Harden dribbled to the top of the arc and faced Xu Tian again.

Because Harden will use the outstretched arm of the defender to cause a thug foul, so Xu Tian dare not try to steal.

If he can't use this defensive method he is good at, Xu Tian's defense will be a little useless, so he can only try to stand between Harden and the basket as much as possible to interfere with Harden a little.

Being able to become a star in the NBA must not be accidental, and Harden is no exception.Facing Xu Tian's one-man defense, he successfully broke through again and helped the white team score two more points.

In the following time, what Xu Tian did on the court was to run back and face Harden on the defensive end. The red team was also pulled further and further away in this state, and the point difference was widened to 20 points by the white team.

Howard was very satisfied with the point difference on the field, with his iconic smile on his face.He is not a magnanimous person. He has not forgotten that Xu Tian offended him in the summer. Although Harden's self-satisfaction made him a little unhappy, the happiness brought to him by Xu Tian's embarrassment prevailed , so the mood is not bad.

After Harden scored another goal, Xu Tian stood on the court. He now understands how powerful NBA stars are.It also made it clear to him that Gary Vitti made the right decision in the summer.

When Gary Vitti met Xu Tian for the first time, the first question he asked was, what type of player are you.

Xu Tian quickly answered, an all-around player.

Gary Vitti shook his head, and what he was saying was, "No, I think you'll be all-powerful in the NBA!"

What happened later was that Gary Vitti asked Xu Tian to watch the video of Steve Nash and let him try to influence the game like Nash.

McHale looked at Xu Tian who was a little dazed, thinking that he was a little dazed by the beating, so he got up and called a stop to the game, and asked Howard to replace Xu Tian.

Xu Tian sat on the seat beside the field and quietly watched the fierce competition.

Seeing that there was no one else around Xu Tian, ​​McHale walked up to him and said, "Xu, after today's training, come to my office."

Xu Tian didn't understand why McHale was looking for him, but he quickly agreed, "No problem." After a pause, he continued, "Mr. McHale, I didn't come to the media day and training camp because of national affairs, not I have nothing against you."

McHale stared into Xu Tian's eyes, trying to see what the young man was thinking, but he soon discovered that he couldn't tell anything from Xu Tian's expression, so he simply gave up such an attempt and said, "Then when We'll talk about it later." With that, McHale turned and started walking back.

Xu Tian looked at McHale, and already had a candidate in his mind, the head coach who had lost his authority.

After all, McHale can decide the player's playing time, which is what Xu Tian needs most.
