Chapter 75 Easy Victory
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers made regular adjustments, replacing Xu Tian and Clarkson on the court and letting them lead the game.

Hollins racked his brains during the intermission, and finally came up with what he thought was a good defensive tactic, and conveyed to the players a defensive strategy of full-court urgency and unlimited defense changes.He knew that it was difficult to limit Xu Tian, ​​but in order to prevent the gap from widening, he could only attack Xu Tian's weakest physical strength.

The first possession of the ball in the first quarter belongs to the Lakers, and the Nets are naturally the first to attack in the second quarter.

Jack the Great dribbled the ball past halftime.

While Xu Tian observed the position of the Nets players left and right, he lowered his center of gravity at the top of the arc and faced Jack who was dribbling.

Jack has roughly figured out Xu Tian's defensive habits, dribbling the ball with his right hand, always keeping the basketball away from Xu Tian, ​​and avoiding the risk of being intercepted.

In order to gain an offensive position, Lopez fought fiercely with Hibbert in the penalty area, and the sound of their muscles colliding was clearly visible.

Thaddeus Young came to the top of the arc and teamed up with Bogdanovic to help Jack make two consecutive pick-and-rolls.But the Lakers' defense did not show any flaws, and every pick-and-roll switch was very smooth.

When the Nets' consecutive pick-and-rolls were completed, Ci Shiping switched to Jack who was dribbling.

Ci Shiping plays the small forward position, and was also a well-known defensive champion in the league when he was young.But he has entered the end of his career. After losing his speed, he can only rely on his tough style of play to support him.

Jack is faster than Ci Shiping, but he is afraid of Xu Tian on the left, and quickly throws the ball to Bogdanovic on the right sideline.

Nance Jr. came to Bogdanovic during the pick-and-roll switch, and he defended.

Bogdanovic is very experienced. First, he used shooting fakes to point Nance Jr., and waited until Nance Jr. couldn't hold his body, and then leaned forward to shoot.

The referee blew Nance Jr.'s defensive foul in an instant, sent Bogdanovic to the free throw line, and executed three free throws.

Nance Jr. raised his right hand in frustration, claiming the foul.

Bogdanovic felt soft and made all three free throws, helping the Nets catch up to only 20 points.

Jack didn't retreat, he waited until Xu Tian received the ball and stood in front of him, defending from the frontcourt.

Xu Tian is very experienced in dealing with the tight defense of the whole court. He quickly passed the ball to Ci Shiping, who had not passed halftime, and let him dribble the ball forward.

Ci Shiping dribbled the ball halfway, and quickly passed the ball to Xu Tian who was running back, allowing Xu Tian to attack from the top of the arc.

Xu Tian had already observed the Nets' defense, used his skillful ball-handling skills to trick Jack away, and rushed into the three-point line.

Joe Johnson immediately gave up chasing and defending Clarkson, and came to Xu Tian desperately, blocking his breakthrough route.

Xu Tian instantly understood the Nets' defensive strategy, and he didn't try to be brave at all. He passed the ball with his left hand without looking at anyone, and gave it to Clarkson who was 45 degrees to the left.

Bogdanovic quickly filled the position and turned to Clarkson.

Clarkson didn't shoot blindly, and passed the ball to Metta Shiping near the bottom corner, continuing to pull the Nets' defense.

Ci Shiping waited until Thaddeus Yang jumped out, hit the ground and passed the ball to Nance Jr. on the left side of the penalty area.

Nance Jr. dribbled and adjusted a step, and faced Lopez's defensive overlord, he bowed hard, and his tough dunk made the Nets center who was trying hard to defend become the background board.

The players on the Nets bench saw the wonderful dunk and almost got up to celebrate, but soon realized that something was wrong and quickly sat back.However, this shot was captured by the keen media, and was quickly made into a GIF and widely spread.

Nance Jr.'s dunk earned him an additional penalty, and he successfully made a free throw, smoothing out the three-pointer sent by the foul, and the point difference was still 23 points.

49-26!

Jack dribbled the ball slowly across the half court, quickly sent the ball to Joe Johnson, who was running on the left, and then ran to the right to open Xu Tian's defense.

Joe Johnson made a breakthrough with the dribble, changed his dribbling posture before the free throw line, and took the initiative to take the position for a post-up single.

Clarkson's lack of defensive experience, the center of gravity did not drop when defending his back, and he was easily pushed back by Joe Johnson by two steps.

Ci Shiping is an old man, seeing Joe Johnson looking at the basket, he took advantage of the unexpected and ran to his side to strike, cutting off the ball in Joe Johnson's hand.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Xiao Nansi ran two steps to pick up the ball that was out of his hands, and passed it to Xu Tian near the center line.

Xu Tian changed hands and dribbled the ball behind his back, passed through the narrow passage left by Jack, and continued to advance forward.

Knowing that his speed could not keep up with Xu Tian, ​​Jack made a foul and prevented the Lakers from fast break.

Xu Tian stepped to the frontcourt, ready to serve the frontcourt sideline ball.

The referee walked to Xu Tian's side with the basketball, hit the ball and passed it to him, and let him serve the sideline.

Jack stood in front of Xu Tian, ​​waving his hands like an octopus to interfere, not giving Xu Tian a chance to play.

The defense of the Nets players was very tight, not only did Clarkson and Metta Shiping have no chance to catch the ball, but also blocked the receiving route of Hibbert and Nance Jr.

Xu Tian remembered the five-second time in his heart, and when he was about to serve the five-second violation, he took advantage of Jack's unpreparedness and smashed the ball on him.

The basketball popped out of the sideline, and the Lakers still had the ball.

Scott somewhat saw the offensive and defensive tactics of the Nets, took advantage of the situation and called a timeout, and the players on both sides returned to the bench to rest and adjust.

Scott left the right to start the offense in Xu Tian's hands, and at the same time increased Clarkson's offensive role, and put the focus of defense on Ci Shiping.

The timeout ended quickly, and the players on both sides returned to the court, and the Lakers continued to serve the sideline ball.

Nance Jr. stood on the sideline, raised the ball above his head with both hands, looking for opportunities to play the ball.

Xu Tian moved laterally with the help of Clarkson's cover, temporarily got rid of Jack's pursuit, and received the serve from Nance Xiao.

Clarkson did not stay at the top of the arc after the pick-and-roll screen, but directly began to cut without the ball and ran towards the penalty area with strides.

Xu Tian's pass was ahead of Clarkson's running position, allowing him to comfortably receive the ball while on the move, so as not to break the offensive rhythm.

Clarkson started with the ball and forced a layup against the defense, which caused a foul by Lopez's thugs and successfully stood at the free throw line.

The fans didn't like to watch games where fouls were called frequently. They were very dissatisfied with the performance of the three referees and booed loudly.

Clarkson made one of two free throws to change the score to 50-26!
Bogdanovic served from the baseline, and after Jack dribbled the ball halfway, he quickly passed it to Joe Johnson.

The Nets are already 24 points behind, and it should be up to the team's leading star to try to recover the point difference.

Metta Shiping defended against Joe Johnson.His solid downside strength made Joe Johnson suffer a lot. When it came time to shoot, Joe Johnson had insufficient strength under his feet and made a three-point shot.

The home fans booed neatly again, but this time the target of their booing was the home team's leading outside players.

Hibbert stood very close to the basketball, grabbed it as if reaching for the moon, and quickly passed it to Xu Tian on the left.

Xu Tian didn't wait for Jack to come to defend, and quickly pushed the ball across the half court, ignoring Bogdanovic in front of him, and made a super long-range three-pointer.

Kobe made a three-point gesture with his right hand and stood up from the bench, ready to cheer for Xu Tian's goal.

Thackeray held a white towel in his right hand, and also got up from the bench, ready to celebrate in a familiar way.

The basketball lived up to expectations and slid into the basket, giving home fans and Lakers bench players a chance to celebrate.

New York fans have always been true, they only respect the strong.Whether you are a home team player or an away team player, as long as you are strong enough, you can get their support.

The Nets are a weak team, coupled with the lack of authority of the coach in the team, there was chaos on the court under the premise of falling behind by a large score.

Thaddeus Young's serve passed behind an inattentive Jack and ran straight out of the baseline, giving the Lakers possession for nothing.

Jack turned around and began to complain to Thaddeus Young, thinking that he was passing the ball carelessly, which caused the serve error.

Thaddeus Yang believed that Jack's absent-mindedness caused the serve error, and he and Jack exchanged blows not to be outdone.

Barkley saw the interaction between Jack and Thaddeus Young sharply, and said with a smile: "The players of the Nets are not good at playing games, and they only dare to attack their own people even if they create conflicts. They are so soft!"

Kenny Smith looked at the chattering Jack and Thaddeus Young on the court with great interest, and laughed: "I have been commenting on the NBA for so many years, and it is the first time I see my teammates spraying each other on the court due to mistakes. It is also a miracle." .”

Big Lopez and Joe Johnson rushed over to pull Jack and Thaddeus Young apart, avoiding an escalation of the conflict.

Coach Hollins stood on the sidelines and was ashamed of the quarrel between the players. He was so passionate that he simply broke the jar and didn't even call a timeout.

Ci Shiping served the ball from the sideline and passed it to Xu Tian who was running to respond.

Thaddeus Yang was in a state of anxiety, unknowingly leaving little Nance out.

Seeing the opportunity, Xu Tian kept the ball straight to the basket, helping Nance Jr. to take off from the restricted area.

SLAM DUNK!
55-26, the Lakers lead by 29 points.

The broadcast media chicken thief gave the camera to JAY-Z, and spread his stiff facial expression to every fan watching the game through the camera.

The home fans all turned against each other, shouting "defense" neatly during the Nets' offensive round, cheering for the Lakers.

Jack was also affected by the dispute just now. He completely lost sight of his teammates. He dribbled the ball into the inside without thinking, and was blocked by Xu Tian and Hibbert.

Xu Tian got the defensive rebound and dribbled the ball across half court.He didn't wait for the Nets' defense to fall, and chased a three-pointer.

The basketball hit the net with precision, taking away the last bit of willpower left by the Nets players.

In the subsequent game, the Nets failed to form a counterattack again, and the Lakers maintained a 20+ point difference to the end, easily winning the victory.

Xu Tian didn't remember how many MVP calls he had received. He only knew that the Barclays Center almost became the Lakers' home court in the second half, and they were all cheering for them.

Joe Johnson was very dissatisfied with the performance of the fans of the home team. At the end of the game, he walked out of the court with his head down, and went back to the locker room along the player tunnel.

Xu Tian stayed for an interview, and his data appeared under the TV camera.
