Chapter 502 Equalizing
Lakers frontcourt ball!
Josh Smith received the ball from the referee, took the ball with both hands, and wanted to pass it to Xu Tian who was running.He was surprised to find that the Spurs sent three defensive players to chase Xu Tian without the ball.

Clarkson got a lot of space, received the serve from Josh Smith, and passed the ball to Nick Young on the left.

Nick Yang made a breakthrough with a dribble. Looking at the empty space three meters in front of him, he felt abnormally uncomfortable. He shot easily and shot out of the frame!

Duncan grabbed the defensive rebound and waited for the three teammates beside Xu Tian to disperse before passing the ball to Ginobili.

Xu Tian turned around and ran towards the backcourt, hit the blind spot of vision, and stabbed the ball dribbled by Ginobili behind him.

Clarkson picked up the free-moving basketball and looked up, and Xu Tian had already run near the center line.Go with the flow and hand the ball over.

Xu Tian walked to the frontcourt slowly, stopped the ball with one step outside the three-point line, and faced Duncan's defense and made another three-pointer!
Basketball, hit the net!
Six in a row!
118-107, 41.7 seconds!
The Spurs were silent at home.They clearly realized that tonight they witnessed the team as the background board again!
The Lakers' bench was already boiling like boiling water. Seeing Xu Tian hit six consecutive three-pointers, the sound of celebration went straight to the sky.

Xu Tian made a three-point gesture with both hands, ran back to the backcourt calmly, and defended at the top of the arc.

Popovich folded his arms around his chest and watched the game with a calm expression, but there was a trace of loss that could not be hidden in his eyes.He knew that the momentum of this round of the series was no longer on their side.

Kawhi Leonard hit Nick Young with a post-up single, turned over and scored with a fadeaway jumper!

118-109, 28.6 seconds!
Xu Tian didn't catch the ball again.He knew that the Spurs would definitely foul the receiver, but he didn't want to score again, so he made six consecutive three-pointers a footnote in this game.

Clarkson was fouled by the Spurs, stood on the free throw line, withstood the pressure of boos, and made two free throws!

120-109, 25.3 seconds!
Popovich knew that he had no chance to create another miracle, so he didn't call a timeout and let the players attack independently.

The Spurs serve from the backcourt, and Tony Parker takes it to the frontcourt at full speed, trying to shoot a chasing three-pointer!
clang!
McGee got the defensive rebound and waited for the Spurs to foul, but no one did.He waited for a moment before passing the ball to Xu Tian who was standing at the top of the arc.

Xu Tian walked and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and used up the final time of the game.

At the end of the game, the Lakers scored 120-109 to conquer the Spurs' home court twice in a row, rewriting the series' big score to 2-2!

ESPN sideline reporters came to the sidelines, waiting for Xu Tian to come over for an interview.

电视屏幕上打出了徐天本场比赛的数据：投篮25投19中，全场砍下51分7篮板7助攻。

After watching the entire game, Wade was amazed by Xu Tian's personal ability. He released his INS and lamented that Xu Tian completely dominated the game.

This night, Lakers fans were active in various forums, constantly reposting the dynamic pictures of Xu Tian's six consecutive three-pointers, which made the game's influence continue to increase.

Many sports-themed bars in Los Angeles offer free drinks to celebrate the Lakers' two victories in San Antonio.

Xu Tian returned to the away locker room and put his right hands together with his teammates for a simple celebration.

After finishing the celebration, Nick Yang shouted excitedly: "Go home!"

Kobe called Nick Young to the corner of the locker room and scolded him severely, which immediately calmed Nick Young, who was in a good mood.

Xu Tian took off his whole body equipment, then took off his jersey, and put on the sportswear he brought.

"We can go back to Los Angeles." This was the thought in Xu Tian's mind, so that he didn't even look at what his teammates were doing in the locker room.

The TNT team has no commentary task, but is sitting in the studio, talking about the game.O'Neill repeatedly mentioned the previous bet and asked Barkley to prepare dollars and wait to pay for his food.

Naturally, Barkley would not show weakness, and shot back: "The Lakers just broke the Spurs' two home games, which doesn't mean anything at all."

Boss Jin was excited, and generously exempted all the customers' consumption, celebrating Xu Tian's team's victory.His mood at this time is completely different from when the Lakers first left Los Angeles.

Kobe and George attended the post-match press conference, but Xu Tian did not want to be interviewed and did not attend.

The TNT reporter asked: "Kobe, I noticed that you called a timeout and substitution in this game. What is the reason for this?"

Kobe said: "Byron Scott wanted to unite the players better, let me try to participate in some tactics, and gave me a certain degree of freedom, so you can see me standing on the sidelines and guiding the players."

"What do you think of the team's changes in these two games?"

"It's a good adjustment to win the game."

The ESPN reporter asked: "Paul George, you have committed a lot of fouls in this game. What do you think is the problem?"

George knew that he would be fined for publicly criticizing the referee's penalty, but he still couldn't help it. He said: "The referee's penalty scale for both sides is not uniform. I am not allowed to exert strong physical confrontation on the defensive end. It is difficult not to foul with such a whistleblowing standard. .”

Bryant, aware that $25000 had flown out of George's wallet, sat quietly by without participating.One person is enough to put pressure on referees through the media.

The Lakers team reporter received the notification from the headquarters, communicated with the team staff repeatedly, and finally got the opportunity to briefly interview Xu Tian.

Xu Tian sat on a chair in the locker room and talked about the adjustments they made in this game, as well as his views on hitting six consecutive three-pointers.His take is simple, just an average playoff run, just one unremarkable performance.

The team reporter was a middle-aged man with a good personality. He couldn't help laughing when he heard Xu Tian's words.He couldn't tell whether Xu Tian was talking about his real feelings or talking trash.

Magic Johnson, who was originally worried about the fate of the Lakers, let go of his hanging heart and sat comfortably on the sofa, feeling a little excited and not knowing what to do.

The news from Jenny Buss finally gave him something to do. The two communicated excitedly, full of confidence in the team's prospects.

After deliberation by all the staff of the Lakers, they decided to return to Los Angeles immediately.

An hour later, Xu Tian sat on the plane, put on his sportswear hat, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Kobe realized that what he did was not good enough, so he sat quietly in his seat and reviewed the game video prepared by the coaching staff to see if there was any room for improvement.

George also asked for a copy of the video, and watched it on his laptop, carefully looking for the differences between him and Xu Tian on the defensive end, and trying to improve the details.

There was almost no sound in the plane, and Xu Tian, ​​who was physically and mentally exhausted, fell asleep quickly.
