Chapter 607
Irving made both free throws and the ball was converted!

James looked at Xu Tian who was dribbling the ball, lowered his center of gravity, stretched his arms obliquely forward to expand the defensive area, and defended wholeheartedly.

Xu Tian has changed a lot on the offensive end, and the Lakers players helped him open up space, making James have to defend alone.Use strength to defend, but don't dare to use too much force.

Fans in the Quicken Loans Center watched the matchup on the court, basically not doing anything, for fear of missing the details.

James tried to use a little more strength to test how Xu Tian would crack it.He was a little overwhelmed, Xu Tian used his turn to pass cleanly, and it was too late to turn around and chase, and was scored an easy goal.

No one in the league can guard against Xu Tian.This is the conclusion that many coaches have racked their brains to no avail. DPOY-level players, double-teams and even triple-teams cannot be restricted.Even James, there is no way to limit him.

James knew that Xu Tian's goal just now had a great impact on morale, so he received the serve and came to the frontcourt. He didn't wait for the Lakers' defensive formation to form, and directly dribbled through.His breakthrough is very powerful, and usually requires a defensive system to limit it.

Tyson Chandler stepped out of the reasonable collision zone and waited for James to rush in to help block the block.

James exerted force with his left hand, slightly pushed Xu Tian away, gained a certain amount of space, and accelerated his impact on the Lakers penalty area.He knew that Tyson Chandler's core strength was not strong, so he dribbled vigorously to adjust a step, and took off directly to make a dunk.

Xu Tian hugged James, stretched his arms, and pulled him down with a foul.

James didn't start at full speed, and he wasn't in an unstoppable state. He wanted to try to make a shot to see if he could score 2+1.

Tyson Chandler saw the opportunity quickly, took off quickly, and destroyed James' shot with a follow-up foul.

The referee didn't blow Tyson Chandler, but only gave Xu Tian a pulling foul and sent James to the free throw line.

James is a powerful player. After the fierce confrontation, the muscles in his arms were tense and he missed two free throws.

The rebound was picked up by Tyson Chandler and handed over to Xu Tian, ​​who took the ball to the frontcourt.

James stood at the top of the arc, facing Xu Tian who was dribbling, trying to complete a defense.

Kobe, George and Nance Jr. opened up space, allowing Xu Tian to have enough singles stage.

Post-up singles is the most practical technique in duels, and Xu Tian, ​​who has used this technique in Huajing, is even the best in duels.

James tried his best to stay strong and maintain the flexibility of movement, so as to avoid being turned around by Xu Tian.The right hand is slightly extended to prevent Xu Tian from turning over and jumping backwards.

Sometimes what you are afraid of will always come.

Xu Tianhou turned around, made an extreme fadeaway jumper on the spot, and shot directly from the middle distance!

The basketball draws a high arc, jumps over James' right hand, and hits the net with precision!
Quicken Loans Center, quiet again!

Tyronn Lue had heard the rumor that Xu Tian was almost invincible in singles, and he didn't want James to get caught in the singles with Xu Tian, ​​so he called a timeout to cool down the heated atmosphere on the field.

Xu Tian is the most accurate shooter in the league, and he is very good at post-up singles, allowing him to comfortably play one-on-one singles, which is not much different from opening up.Such a matchup will consume James' physical strength, and it is probably not worth the candle.

Tyronn Lue is very familiar with the players, and he expresses his heart: "LeBron, don't enter the rhythm of bullfighting with Xu, that will make him adapt well, hand it over to Iman Shumpert and Tristan Thompson, let them Two people against Xu, you put your energy on the offensive end."

James was still a little dissatisfied, and said: "Tyron, I will fight Xu for a few more rounds, and when I feel that it is almost the same, I will play a suitable tactic."

Tyronn Lue will not confront the opponent's players, but he does not want to change James' plan, saying: "Try not to consume too much on the defensive end."

"rest assured."

James is a star with a very high basketball quotient in the league. He knows what to do on the court will be the most beneficial to the team, but as a top basketball player, he will definitely want to play against the opponent's core players.This is caused by inner competitiveness, and he can't suppress this thought with his rational side.

Tristan Thompson heard the conversation between James and Tyronn Lue, and knew that he wanted to play a partial one-on-one with Xu Tian, ​​serve from the sideline, and give it directly to James.

Irving and Shumpert stood at 45 degrees on the left and at the bottom corner respectively, helping James pull the Lakers players over so that he could find a way to break through from the right.

Xu Tian's defense is very threatening, and the most powerful thing is that it can disrupt the opponent's dribbling rhythm.James didn't have many dribbling tricks, but he was relatively stable, and he was basically not disturbed by Xu Tian.

The two confronted from the top of the arc to near the free throw line.

James has a rough judgment on Xu Tian's strength, knowing that he is not much weaker than himself, so he changes his strategy and tries a mid-range shot.

The basketball draws a high arc, scoring goals in almost the same way as Xu Tian!
Reggie Miller said: "Xu and LeBron's confrontation is something that many neutral fans want to see. It's just that the coaches of both sides have their own tactical arrangements, and they basically don't face each other head-on. In this scene, it should be Not very often."

Chris Webber said: "The most important thing is that although LeBron and Xu are about the same height, they play different positions and are good at offensive methods, which makes it basically impossible to directly match each other."

"LeBron focuses on breakthroughs, while Xu focuses on shooting. The offensive areas of the two are indeed somewhat different. In addition, there are blue-collar players who are responsible for doing dirty work around them, so there is really no need for an entire game."

James lowered his center of gravity in the backcourt and moved with Xu Tian's movement.It's just that his single-defense ability is not top-notch, and he is strong in assisting defense, and he really feels a little bit difficult.

What makes Xu Tian difficult to defend is that, in addition to maintaining the efficiency of the 180 club all year round, he also has the ability to switch between singles and organizations at will.But he didn't flinch at this time, and once again resorted to individual singles.

The Cavaliers wanted James to teach the arrogant Xu Tian a lesson, but they didn't rush over to help defend.

James felt Xu Tian's center of gravity turned outward, and realized that he was about to turn over and shoot a jumper again. His legs suddenly exerted force, and he stretched out his right hand to block the shot.

Xu Tian leaned back so much that James' outstretched right hand was still far away from the basketball, making it impossible to defend.

James ran into Xu Tian who was falling, but this is the Quicken Loans Center, and he didn't receive a blocking foul.It's just that this kind of defense is not enough to stop Xu Tian.

The basketball bounced a few times on the rim and hit the net with precision!
Tai Lunlu realized that Xu Tian had scored several goals in a row, and he was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, feeling unspeakably nervous.He doesn't know how to defend against Xu Tian, ​​but he knows that defense alone is definitely not enough, so he hopes that James can end his personal confrontation with Xu Tian as soon as possible.

James was thrown by Xu Tian one after another, eager to hit back, and immediately accelerated after receiving the serve, hitting the Lakers' defense.
