Chapter 82

Anthony's defense was half a beat slow. When his right hand was stretched out in front of Xu Tian, ​​the basketball had already flown steadily into the air. He could only turn around to see if the ball would go in.

Xu Tian's touch is hot, and there is no problem scoring a goal.

107-101!
There are still 1 minutes and 38 seconds left.

Fisher didn't want to interrupt Anthony's offensive rhythm. He stood on the sidelines and yelled for the player to pass to Cameron. He didn't mean to call a timeout at all.

Calderon dribbled forward and passed the ball to Anthony just after half court.

Anthony dribbled the ball and looked at the timer on the backboard, determined that there was still a chance to win, adjusted his body rhythm and shot quickly.

Seeing Anthony's shot, Porzingis and Lopez squeezed into the inside line desperately, trapping Xu Tian and Hibbert behind them.

Xu Tian knew very well that the restricted area was the battlefield, and he couldn't give up an inch of ground. Although he was only a cameo in the fourth position, he still tried his best to regain his position.

Anthony's shot missed and the bounced ball flew into the air, drawing the attention of four players around the basket.

Xu Tian saw the rotation of the basketball and the angle of the basket in advance, predicted where the ball might go, and quickly seized a favorable position.

Most of the three-point shots will be converted into long rebounds, but Anthony's shooting arc is high, and the strength of the rebound is vertically upward, making the basketball fly to a high place.

Porzingis took off first, trying to use his height and arm length to get a rebound above the heads of everyone.

Xu Tian then took off with all his strength and exerted force with the fingers of his right hand to hit the basketball that was about to be in Porzingis's hands into the air again.

Lopez Jr. and Hibbert stretched out their arms, took advantage of the opportunity of Xu Tian and Porzingis to take off, and competed for the basketball in midair.

Seeing that Lopez Jr. had the upper hand in the air, Xu Tian bounced up again after landing, and raised the basketball into the air with his right hand.

Mike Breen marveled at Xu Tian's performance and explained in a raised voice: "What is this! Mark, to be honest, I haven't seen anyone rebound like this in many years since Dennis Rodman retired gone."

Mark Jackson paid a lot of attention to Xu Tian, ​​and having seen similar scenes, he said calmly: "Xu's jumping statistics are not outstanding, but his jumping speed is very fast and his continuous jumping ability is outstanding. I don't like his performance like this." Not surprisingly."

Xu Tian took off three times in a row, touched the ball from Porzingis' hands, and gave the racket to Nick Young on the outside.

Nick Young dribbled the ball across half court, waited for his teammates to settle on the left side, and handed the ball back to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball to change his rhythm, broke through slowly against Calderon's defense, and gradually reached the three-point line.

Hibbert and Lopez Jr. were entangled together, making Lopez Jr. unable to help defend, and it was a cover for Xu Tian in disguise.

Porzingis let go of Louis Williams in the left corner and came to the penalty area desperately, trying to block Xu Tian's layup.

Xu Tian hit the ball with his right hand, passed the ball to Louis Williams who was emptied, and launched an attack in the simplest way.

Louis Williams received the ball without hesitation, and the second battalion commander's Italian gun fired and bombed the Knicks' basket.

110-101, time 53 seconds.

Fisher called the final timeout, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of defense with the players, and asked Porzingis and Lopez Jr. to pay attention to protecting the rebounds.

Kobe was impressed by the performance of the Lakers in the final period. He took over the tactical board and drew defensive tactics with high spirits, telling his teammates that as long as they defend the Knicks' first attack after a timeout, they can successfully win the victory.

Fisher didn't complain about Porzingis' defensive choices, and still focused his offense on Anthony, making Porzingis an alternative option.

The timeout passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court to play the final stage of the game.

Calderon remained the same, passing the ball to Anthony immediately after dribbling halftime.

Anthony dribbled the ball laterally, received the ball with a step outside the left three-point line, and made a super long-range three-pointer.

Fairy Ball!
104-110, with 47 seconds left in the game.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball halfway, and Calderon and Efflalo flanked him, preventing him from easily starting and looking for opportunities to steal.

Clarkson moved laterally from the free throw line, moving from the strong side to the weak side, getting rid of Anthony's switch and running out of the wide open.

While avoiding the almost foul defensive actions of Afflalo and Calderon, Xu Tian looked up and saw Clarkson running out of the open space, and gave him a high pass.

Clarkson made a decision before the free throw line, picked up his bow and arrow, and shot.

The basketball was hit at the front of the basket, and bounced into the air just like last time, attracting everyone under the basket again.

Porzingis has the best position, and Xu Tian is not competing with him, so he is determined to win rebounds.But when he jumped up, he realized that the basketball miraculously fell into the net.

112-104, time 32 seconds.

When Clarkson saw the basketball go into the net, his hanging heart finally landed, he roared to the sky, and celebrated passionately.

The Knicks had no timeout and could only serve quickly, allowing Anthony to advance past halftime.

Xu Tian was wary of Anthony, and took advantage of Anthony's unpreparedness to attack from behind and abruptly steal the basketball.

Hibbert's speed was very slow, and his position was very close to the basket in the frontcourt, just in time to receive a pass from Xu Tian.

Collect the ball and turn around, dunk with both hands!
114-104, time 26 seconds.

Porzingis backed out of the baseline, pushed forward with both hands and threw the ball upfield, but Afflalo, who was about to come down, failed to catch it and let the ball fly straight out of bounds.

The Lakers served the ball from the backcourt. Xu Tian was fouled by the Knicks immediately after receiving the ball and stood on the free throw line. He made two free throws.

116-104, time 24.2 seconds.

The Knicks kicked off quickly again, Calderon made a long pass to Anthony in the frontcourt, and launched a fast break that only took 5 seconds.

Xu Tian's free throws were extremely stable, which caused the Knicks' tactical foul to fail. After another attack failed to make a hit, he gave up his struggling attempt.

Clarkson dribbles across half court, waiting for the final whistle.

A red circle lights up around the backboard, announcing the end of the game, and the Lakers beat the Knicks 118-106.

徐天上场33.8分钟，投篮15投10中，三分球6投5中，罚球6中5，全场砍下了30分7板8助5断的数据。

Kobe walked into the court for the first time and hugged Anthony, avoided the camera lens, and told him not to be affected by the loss and continue to perform as he should.

Porzingis took the initiative to walk to Xu Tian to shake hands with him. The two had a pleasant chat and wished each other a good performance in the next game.

After Anthony hugged Kobe, he took the initiative to come over to say hello to Xu Tian, ​​and resolve the conflicts that had arisen on the court.

After Xu Tian finished high-fiving with the Knicks players, he walked to the sidelines to be interviewed by reporters, talking about the mental journey of the game.

After watching the entire game between the Lakers and the Knicks, James picked up his cell phone and sent Wade a text message. The content of the text message was "Dwyane, be careful of Xu Tian of the Lakers!"
