Chapter 67 The Awakened Sixth Person
Facing Faried's tough confrontation, Xu Tian couldn't find an attacking space, so he dribbled the ball and retreated to the top of the arc.

Farid is 203 centimeters tall, but he plays as a power forward and faces devils and muscular insiders all day long. In terms of strength confrontation, Xu Tian is not as tough as him.

Nick Young didn't wait for Xu Tian's pass, and began to run 45 degrees to the left, trying to get rid of Wilson Chandler and find a suitable open opportunity.

Clarkson got rid of the defender, came to the top of the arc to respond, and got the basketball from Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was relieved from holding the ball and began to run along the three-point line, involving Faried's defense.

Bass screened on the left halfback and helped Nick Young delay Wilson Chandler, leaving him short of a running Nick Young for a short open opportunity.

Clarkson still remembered Scott's arrangement, received the ball and passed it back to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian had already seen Nick Young run out of space, hit the ground with his left hand non-stop, and passed the ball to Nick Young.

Nick Young knew that Wilson Chandler would catch up with him soon, so he didn't adjust his dribble, picked up the basketball and shot it.

The basketball was hollow into the net, and the crisp sound of scraping the net gave the silent Staples finally some sound.

Xu Tian knew that Nick Young's attack was very reluctant. If he hesitated for half a second, Wilson Chandler's defense would be in place.The athletic ability of the Nuggets players is really good enough. It is very difficult to find the offensive space through running positions, but now there are no good offensive methods except for off-ball running positions and air cuts.

Kobe is very good at playing positional warfare. If he is on the court, he can rely on his offensive ability to open the situation.But now Kobe is wearing a suit and sitting on the bench, unable to play to help the team, so he can only think of other ways.

Nick Young had no time to celebrate, because the Nuggets had pushed a quick counterattack, so he had to retreat quickly.

Xu Tian defended Gallinari, and he still held the ball to launch the offense.

Although Gallinari uses a back-up movement, his purpose is to pass the ball inside and let Nurkic or Faried attack.

Xu Tian has seen through the Nuggets' offensive strategy. Although he gave Gallinari enough physical confrontation when defending, he still focused part of his attention on the possible passing.

Gallinari wanted to repeat the same trick, passing the ball to Nurkic who was about to get in the paint without looking at people, but Xu Tian blocked the ball as soon as he took the ball.

In an instant, the basketball flew into the air and fell into the hands of Clarkson, who was about to come down from the frontcourt, as if consciously.

Clarkson had Faried chasing behind him, so he didn't dare to make a direct shot. Instead, he ran into the penalty area to stop the ball. After Faried took off, he hit a time difference and finished the offense with a layup.

Reggie Miller saw Clarkson's goal and said: "Recently I watched the Lakers' game and saw Xu Tian launch this kind of fast-down transition attack. I think this is his most threatening offensive method. Digging If the Golden Team wants to maintain the point difference, they can't let the Lakers play this kind of cooperation."

Marv Albert has the reputation of "The Voice of the Knicks". He doesn't care much about the Lakers' game, but he still knows that Reggie Miller has a good point. Played a strong suppression in the opening game, if the Lakers play this kind of easy offensive and defensive transition, their previous efforts will be in vain."

Reggie Miller analyzed: "This time the Lakers seized the offensive opportunity because the passing cooperation between Gallinari and Nurkic was seen through by Xu Tian and the pass was intercepted. Substitutions to launch an offense can still easily expand the point difference by taking advantage of the inside line.”

The same is true of Michael Malone's thinking. Xu Tian's most prominent defensive ability is his stealing ability. It is indeed a bit risky for Gallinari to launch an offense.So after Nelson dribbled the ball across the half, he told Nelson with gestures to let Nelson attack.

Jameer Nelson was the main point guard for the Magic in 09, and he reached the finals with Warcraft that year.That was the pinnacle of his career, other than that, there is no honor worthy of praise.

Nelson's ability to sort out the offense is not strong, but he just passed the ball to Nurkic inside, and there is still no problem.

Nurkic played Bass with his back and pushed Bass into the penalty area.

Bass used all his strength, and he had no energy to interfere with Nurkic's hook shot, so he could only watch the basketball go into the net.

11-4!

The Nuggets scored the goal Michael Malone wanted in the most correct way.

Xu Tian didn't care whether the usage rate and possession time were good or not. He dribbled the ball again at the top of the arc and observed his teammates' running positions.

Although Nick Young didn't get a pass from Xu Tian last time, he was still running hard, trying to find a reasonable offensive space.

Wilson Chandler paid 120% of his attention on the defensive end and went around the screen much faster than usual, but Nick Young still found an offensive opportunity.

Nick Young's defense is below the league average, and the reason why he can gain a foothold in the league is entirely because of his extraordinary offensive ability.

The basketball came to Nick Young's hands in good time, allowing him to shoot directly from a comfortable position.

Wilson Chandler ran faster than last time, came to him before Nick Young made a shot, and jumped with all his strength to block Nick Young's shot.

I don't know how many times Nick Young has faced this kind of defense. He shot confidently in the air, and the basketball hit the net with precision.

Director Zhang was broadcasting live on Tencent this time. Seeing Nick Yang hit a shot, he was much more active than at the beginning, and said: "Xu Tian's ability to seize opportunities is really good. He has already scored three assists in such a short timeout. "

Wang Meng was the main commentator and said: "It is reasonable to praise the person who scored the goal, why are you praising Xu Tian?"

Director Zhang said with a smile: "It is true that Xu Tian's pass is in place, otherwise Nick Young would have no chance to attack when he ran out of space."

Xu Tian naturally couldn't hear the praise from the other side of the ocean, so he lowered his focus and concentrated on defending Gallinari.Although they knew that the Nuggets were going to play inside, they still couldn't help defend, otherwise they might open up the opponent's inside and outside.

Nelson passed the ball to Faried, allowing Faried to play Nance Jr. in the paint.

Faried relied heavily on his athletic ability on the offensive end, and it was still a bit difficult for him to attack with the ball, so he quickly passed the ball to Nurkic inside.

Nurkic didn't even bother to shake, he hit high, and layup over Bass.

Bass got a little tempered by Nurkic's beating, and pushed him out with both hands, destroying Nurkic's shot, and he received a defensive foul for this.

Scott hurriedly called Bass, who raised his right hand to receive a foul, to the sidelines, and said in his ear, "Branton, there are not enough rotation players inside today, you must control the number of fouls. Next time there is such an undefensible ball, Just put him in the basket."

Bass knew that his chance to play was hard-won, and he didn't dare to disobey the coach's words. He silently returned to the free throw line and prepared to grab the rebound.

Nurkic didn't encounter a tough inside confrontation, he kept his touch very well, and made two free throws steadily.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball across the half court and saw Nick Young, who was confidently asking for the ball at 45 degrees from the left wing, passed the ball quickly without any pause.

Nick Young dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction, stepped into the three-point line with his left foot, and when Wilson Chandler took a step back, he withdrew his left foot hard outside the three-point line.

Raise your hand three-point piercing cloud arrow, thousands of troops and horses come to meet each other.

Michael Malone did not expect that Xu Tian was under strict guard, and someone from the Lakers could stand up. He walked back and forth on the sidelines, hesitating whether to call a timeout.

Nelson dribbled the ball across the half court at a slow speed, and threw the ball to Nurkic in the same way, letting him play the offense.

Nance Jr. couldn't hold back again and ran into the penalty area to help defend, causing Faried to have an air-cut opportunity again.

Nurkic raised his right hand high, dexterously shaking his wrist, and threw the ball near the basket.

Faried took off with a reasonable step outside the collision zone, grabbed the basketball in the air, and violently sent the ball into the basket.

Michael Malone saw the tacit cooperation of the two insiders and dispelled the idea of ​​​​calling a timeout. More importantly, he did not believe that Nick Young could always maintain his touch.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball across half court, called Nick Young to the top of the arc, and the two played a pick-and-roll.

Wilson Chandler and Faried didn't expect the Lakers to use this offensive method, but they reacted quickly and switched defenses in place in time, without giving them any offensive space.

Nick Young dribbled the ball with his right hand, Beverly broke through to the free throw line, ignored Faried's block, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Faried tried too hard to defend, lost control of his body, and slapped Nick Young with his right arm.

The referee noticed Nick Young who was off balance and fell to the ground, and immediately called Faried's defensive foul.

The basketball bounced a few times on the rim, and finally entered the rim safely.

Nick Young's girlfriend Azalea, who was watching the game from the sidelines, couldn't help standing up and cheering when she saw the goal.

Xu Tian trotted over and pulled up Nick Yang who had fallen to the ground with both hands.

Michael Malone doesn't want to believe it now, but he can only believe it. After watching the score on the field, he made a time-out gesture to the referee.

The referee blows the whistle and a timeout is executed.

Madsen said to Louis Williams and Huertas next to him: "When the two of you lead the bench, if you can't open the offense, you can also cooperate like Xu and Nick."

After hearing Madsen's words, Lou Williams and Huertas got up and left the bench so that the players on the court could sit and listen to Scott's arrangement.

Although Jenny Bass had a date with the Zen master Phil Jackson, she didn't know the tactics on the field, so she asked the magician next to her, "Magician, did Byron design the tactics for Nick to attack?"

The magician thought for a while and replied: "The Nuggets' defense is one-on-one defense, and the restriction is passing. I think Byron designed it to let Xu attack. It should be because Nick feels good that he will pass the ball. his."

Scott adjusted his offensive tactics, enhanced Nick Young's role on the offensive end, and allowed Xu Tian to concentrate on supporting him.

Michael Malone also squatted in front of the bench and said, "Wilson, you have to keep up with Nick on the defensive end, and try not to let him have a chance to catch the ball."

Consecutive goals, coupled with the coach's tactical arrangement is also his main attack.This situation made Nick Yang a little bit flustered, thinking that he was in a dream.
