Chapter 79
Anthony is 203 cm tall and weighs 109 kg. His physique is somewhat stronger than Xu Tian's. He turns around and dribbles, and uses his back to push forward.

Xu Tian spread his legs apart, lowered his center of gravity to the lowest point, and supported Anthony's back with his right forearm, and defended with all his strength.

Anthony was not as strong as Xu Tian in the bottom game, and Xu Tian's defensive posture was extremely solid, so he couldn't advance half a step.In desperation, Anthony put his right elbow on Xu Tian's neck, pushed him away with force, and dribbled to the inside to break through.

Jeremy Lin is a player of Chinese descent. The criminals he encountered can be said to be countless. Even stars like Anthony and Kobe have attacked him. He also swallowed this situation.But this is because Jeremy Lin is a devout Christian, and Xu Tianke doesn't believe in God.

Anthony dribbled the ball with all his strength and made a breakthrough. Xu Tian endured the discomfort in his neck and gritted his teeth to keep up.

Xu Tian waited until Anthony raised the ball with both hands, and slapped it out with his right hand with all his strength, but instead of aiming at the ball, he crossed the ball and hit Anthony's head, driving him directly to the floor.

The referee quickly stopped the game and rushed to stop Xu Tian to avoid further development of the situation.

Ci Shiping is a villain, but not a villain in the true sense.In the Auburn Hills palace fight incident, Ci Shiping turned a blind eye to the provocative Daben, but beat a fan. It was still unconvincing, but after all, he still had the reputation of a villain.

Even so, if Ci Shiping really wants to attack Anthony, he must hesitate for a long time. After all, Anthony has an underground background and is not so easy to mess with.But he never thought that Xu Tian, ​​who was usually expressionless, would dare to attack without hesitation.

Kobe knew what level of strength Xu Tian had reached after the summer special training, and couldn't help but look at Anthony who fell on the floor, silently worrying for him.

Anthony is strong enough, this small collision is nothing to him, but he was hit by Xu Tian's hand on the head just now, and when he fell to the ground, his head hit the floor, so he couldn't recover for a while.

The referee pushed the expressionless Xu Tian near the center line, confirmed that there was no follow-up, and went to the technical platform to watch the video playback just now to determine the penalty for Xu Tian's foul.

The slow motion showed the foul action just now. Anthony took off from outside the penalty area. Xu Tian then rushed to block from behind, but failed to touch the basketball and hit Anthony directly on the head.

Xu Tian knew very well that he would be penalized for a flagrant foul, but he didn't care, and that was his intention.

The NBA is a black league, and white people will be discriminated against in the league. What's more, Xu Tian is a foreign player and Asian, and the situation is even worse.If others think he is easy to bully, then he will have more criminals in the league.

It took Anthony a long time to recover, grabbed the hands of Porzingis and Efflalo, got up from the floor, and walked straight towards Xu Tian.

Xu Tian stood quietly on the center line, staring at Anthony without squinting, watching him approach little by little.

Ci Shiping rushed out to stop Anthony, preventing him from contacting Xu Tian again.It's not that he wants to stand up for Xu Tian, ​​it's just that he heard Kobe say that Xu Tian is very good at fighting and has a perverted personality, and he was afraid that Anthony would suffer again.

The three referees watched the replay five times, and finally made a penalty decision. They scored a first-degree malicious foul on Xu Tian and asked Anthony to execute two free throws.

Hupu Forum quickly posted a GIF of Xu Tian’s villain Anthony, and the comment’s highlighted reply was “Xu Tian even dared to beat Gua, he is a ruthless man!”

Later, many fans who knew the inside story of the Rockets mentioned the preseason material.Frankly speaking, Howard and Xu Tian once staged martial arts in the locker room, and it was rumored at the time that Xu Tian, ​​who was not in good shape, had the upper hand, so that the Rockets players no longer dared to provoke Xu Tian.But since then, no one in the locker room has spoken to him again. Even on the day of Xu Tian's trade, an anonymous player stepped forward to blackmail him.

Netizens on reddit are well aware of the past of Xu Tian’s fights, and most of them have stated that if Xu Tian returns to the 90s, he may be beaten by Lambiel, Rodman, Malone, Barkley, etc. I thought Xu Tian was worthy of these people.

Mike Tyson happened to be watching the game between the Lakers and the Knicks. He was not very happy to see Anthony being raped by Xu Tian, ​​and he was thinking about finding an opportunity to tease Xu Tian in public.

Xu Tian would not be affected by this kind of thing, and stood quietly at the top of the arc to watch Anthony make free throws.

The basic skills of Anthony's shooting are solid enough, and both free throws are hollow into the net.

The penalty for a malicious foul is "two free throws and one throw", so after Anthony's free throw, the Knicks still launched the offense.

Afflalo walks up to the referee, takes the ball from him, and prepares for a throw-in.

Clarkson raised his hands to interfere, preventing Efflalo from passing the ball comfortably.

Xu Tian followed Calderon to prevent the organized player from receiving the ball.

Metta Shiping and Anthony's arms were mingled together, and in order to attack and defend space, they tried their best to carry out a large-scale confrontation.

Seeing that there was no chance to send it to the outside player, Afflalo sent the ball to Porzingis inside, allowing him to attack in the penalty area.

Fisher understood the weaknesses of the Lakers and knew how to deploy offensive tactics, but in order to keep Anthony's emotions, he had to make tactical concessions.In fact, what he hopes in his heart is that the team can focus on the matchup between Porzingis and Nance Jr., but he didn't expect it to be achieved by serving a sideline kick.

Porzingis is 220 cm tall and weighs 109 kg. Nance Jr. is only 206 cm tall and weighs 107 kg.In this set of matchups, Porzingis has the upper hand.

If Xu Tian were the coach of the Knicks, he would definitely arrange players to pull away, focus on Porzingis, and attack the Lakers' weakness.But he also knows Fisher's situation, Anthony is an obstacle to the implementation of tactics, it is difficult to use appropriate tactics.

It was accidental that Porzingis received the ball, but he still decisively played singles, making full use of his 14 cm height advantage to hit high, ignoring Nance Jr.'s defensive layup.

Nance Jr. picked up the ball that fell from the basket, stepped out of the baseline, and quickly passed it to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian slowly dribbled the ball across the half court, passed the ball to Clarkson on the left again, and then ran to the left and right corners with Ci Shiping.

Anthony is not an easy person to mess with, so he took the initiative to switch defenses in front of Xu Tian, ​​ready to recover the lost space.

Xu Tian stood outside the three-point line, watching Clarkson's attack intently.

The defender Clarkson faces is Efflalo, who is relatively the best defender among the Knicks' outside players, and the offensive pressure is greater.

Nance Jr. knew that he was not performing well on the defensive end, so he quickly came to the top of the arc to cover, and asked Porzingis to switch to Clarkson.

Clarkson dribbled the ball with his right hand, looked at the time on the timer, accelerated the dribble with 12 seconds left, and went inside Porzingis' defense.

Porzingis has sufficient height and agility, but after all, he is 220 cm tall. It is still very difficult to follow the defense from the three-point line, and he failed to keep up with the breakthrough Clarkson.

Lopez Jr. took the initiative to come out of the penalty area, raising his hands to defend, preventing Clarkson from passing and shooting space.

Clarkson's vision was not as broad as Xu Tian's. After being interfered by Lopez Jr., he completely lost the chance to play the ball, but in order to perform, he chose to force a layup.

Lopez Jr. saw the timing of Clarkson's shot, blocked the basketball with his right hand firmly, and pushed Clarkson back when he took off.

The referee blew his whistle and his arms spun quickly, calling Clarkson's walking violation.

Although Anthony is a ruthless person, he doesn't like to talk trash. Seeing Clarkson walking, he temporarily put aside the idea of ​​revenge against Xu Tian and ran to the frontcourt to prepare to attack.

Xu Tian led the defense against Calderon, using his arms and body to delay the game, trying to make his 8-second half-time violation.

Calderon, with his experience, knew the timing of the half-court push and passed the ball to Efflalo just before the violation.

Efflalo's organizational skills are not good, and he started dribbling immediately after receiving the ball, ready to single-handedly beat Clarkson.

Clarkson lowered his focus and stared at Efflalo's dribbling right hand, ready to adjust the defense at any time.

Afflalo has more experience than Clarkson and knows how to deal with rookies. He collected the ball with both hands and made a shooting fake and successfully tricked Clarkson. He leaned forward and shot.

BI!

Defensive foul!

Scott couldn't stand it anymore, got up and called a timeout.

Xu Tian put his left hand on Clarkson's shoulder and said to him in a low voice: "Don't hit Afflalo anymore. When we come back from a timeout, let's pick and roll. As long as Anthony switches defenses, you can play singles against him with the ball."

Clarkson originally thought that Xu Tian would blame him for his offensive and defensive performance, but he was relieved to hear that he was only talking about the offensive tactics in the future.

Ci Shiping sat next to Kobe and said, "Kobe, Xu is a tough guy! But you have to come forward to mediate for him about Cameron. Anyway, he is also a yellow race. It is difficult in the NBA..."

Kobe reached out his hand to interrupt Ci Shiping, and said, "Ron, this is not the place to talk about these things. I will help him out. You play hard and concentrate on defending."

Ci Shiping quickly calmed down.

Scott drew the offensive and defensive tactics on the tactical board. On the offensive end, allowing players to play Anthony more can consume his physical strength and the success rate will be much higher.

Xu Tian took Scott's words, emphasized the offensive space, and let Nance Jr. pull Porzingis out of the penalty area.

Fisher first appeased Anthony's emotions, and then gave the focus of offensive tactics to Porzingis, using his strengths to attack the weaknesses of the Lakers' defense.

An unhappy expression soon appeared on Anthony's face, but he did not speak, acquiescing to Fisher's tactics.

Seeing that Anthony's attitude was slowing down, Fisher continued to arrange defensive tactics, allowing players to join rotations in the 1-2-2 zone defense to strengthen the defense against Xu Tian.

Players from both sides stepped back to the court after a timeout and adjusted, and continued to play in the second half of the first quarter.

Afflalo stepped to the free throw line and executed two free throws before the timeout.
