Chapter 90 Looking Northwest, Killing King Huai

Hibbert took the ball and turned around, trying to end the offensive round with a dunk, but his movement speed was very slow, and the ball in his hand was patted on the backboard by another big hand.

Whiteside not only successfully blocked Hibbert's dunk, but also took the basketball into his pocket and blocked his attack in the most humiliating way.

Hibbert thought that Whiteside's block just now was suspected of fouling, yelled at the referee, and received the first technical foul of the game.

Xu Tian walked over and pulled Hibbert away, told him to keep calm in a low voice, and said that he would still be useful in the future.

Whiteside's free throw still couldn't find the touch, but the second free throw bumped into the basket and scored his first free throw of the game.

Since Hibbert received a technical foul at the same time, the Heat still attacked after the free throw, and Wade used a ghostly pass to help Stoudemire succeed in the alley-oop.

Winslow's team led by a big score, full of inexhaustible energy, and continued to chase Xu Tian.

Xu Tian received the serve calmly, and passed the ball again at the same position, passing Winslow who was caught off guard.

Feeling Xu Tian's disdain for him, Winslow felt angry in his heart, and rushed straight to Xu Tian who was dribbling.

Xu Tian was on guard against Winslow's possible foul in advance, and dribbled the ball behind his back and moved laterally to avoid this angry collision.

Winslow gathered all his strength when he rushed up, but he couldn't hit anything so that he lost his center of gravity and quickly lost his defensive position.

Xu Tian easily received the ball at the top of the arc and pulled up an open three-pointer.

The three-point sword is like the flames of hell!
Whiteside served from the baseline, and as soon as Dragic stepped in, Clarkson walked up to him and hugged him.

The referee was a little stunned, but he blew his whistle quickly and called Clarkson a defensive foul.

Spoelstra realized that something was wrong, stood up from the coach's bench, walked to the sidelines and chatted with Whiteside.

Whiteside served from the sideline again, and as soon as he stepped into the field, Nance Jr. hugged him exactly like Clarkson.

The referee blew his whistle again and called the little Yuslav for a foul.

The Lakers took turns to foul several times in a row, accumulated a full number of fouls, and sent Whiteside to the free throw line.

Xu Tian went to the sidelines to communicate with Scott in a low voice, and asked him to replace Thackeray, specially for fouling Whiteside.

The method used by the Lakers is called the Shark Slashing tactic in the NBA. It was first invented by Shaquille O'Neal, who was extremely dominant inside and was not good at free throws.

Howard wasn't bothered by this tactic at first, but after he came to the Lakers in 12, his old club Magic used the shark-slashing tactic to serve him.Since then, this long-lost routine has reappeared, causing Howard to lose his former prestige.

Xu Tian paid special attention to Whiteside's touch in the first half, and confirmed that his free throws tonight had no rhythm, allowing his teammates to implement this defensive tactic that greatly affects the viewing of the game.

Whiteside's usual free throws would not be targeted, but he never found a rhythm tonight, and missed both free throws again.

Seeing the focused Xu Tian, ​​the Lakers players' morale was unknowingly boosted. On the offensive end, they made more breakthroughs inside. Knowing that they couldn't challenge Whiteside's penalty area, they rushed in again and again without hesitation.Coupled with the slashing tactics implemented on the defensive end, the point difference was successfully narrowed to less than 10 points.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Spoelstra decisively called out a timeout to be replaced by Whiteside, who was targeted, and replaced by "Birdman" Chris Anderson, who was more stable in free throws.

Because the frequent fouls on the field can be used to rest, Xu Tian didn't consume much physical strength, and continued to return to the field to lead the team in the game.

Thackeray played 3 minutes and contributed 4 fouls, but he was still left on the field, allowing Hibbert to use this time to recover.

The rhythm of the Heat players was interrupted by frequent free throws, and the point difference gradually narrowed, so they couldn't help but feel impatience.

Just after halftime, Dragic made a mistake in the pass and wasted the ball.

Winslow focused on defending Xu Tian for a long time. He was under more mental pressure than the rest of the players. He was naturally more annoyed than them. He tried to steal the ball from Xu Tian's hands unbelievingly, and finally got the defense. foul.

Xu Tian took the opportunity to say something trashy, adding fuel to Winslow's burning emotions, and completely ignited him.

Winslow chattered nonsense, and pushed his hands towards Xu Tian, ​​looking fierce as if he was about to fight.

Xu Tian calmly looked at Winslow, who was like a clown, and raised his hands pretending to be innocent, making the audience think that he was the victim of the conflict.

The referee arrived in time and separated the two people who were about to have a conflict. After the situation subsided, the referee went to the sidelines to watch the video data in the replay center to see how to judge.

The slow motion showed that Winslow fouled first, and then Xu Tian said something, Winslow retorted angrily, and then pushed Xu Tian with both hands.

The three referees discussed for a long time, and finally issued a penalty, giving both technical fouls.

Xu Tian didn't think the penalty was fair, but he knew that he was not popular with the referee, so he just frowned at the referee and continued the game.

Clarkson steps out of the sideline, ready to throw the upfield throw-in.

Xu Tian pointed to the floor beyond the three-point line, and whispered to Winslow, "I'll shoot here later, and you can prepare to defend in advance."

Winslow couldn't contain his disgust towards Xu Tian, ​​and said, "Shut up, I can deal with you with one hand!"

Xu Tian received the serve while physically confronting Winslow, dribbled the ball flexibly and changed direction to affect Winslow's defense, and gradually came to the place where the finger was just now.Winslow realized what was going to happen, and tried to straighten his right hand to interfere with Xu Tian.

Xu Tian's body was touched by Winslow, and his shooting movement was slightly deformed, but he still adjusted his hand feeling and confidently shot a three-pointer.

Winslow was so angry that he stretched out his right foot and put it under Xu Tian's feet, ready to use his foot to defend him.

Xu Tian had been on guard against Winslow for a long time. He retracted his left foot in the air and successfully avoided the footstep. When he landed smoothly, the basketball was hollowed into the net.

Shrimp needs pig heart!

Clarkson made a ghostly move, rushed from behind Dragic to steal, and grabbed the ball again.

Xu Tian glanced at Clarkson, put his hands in front of him and ran towards the penalty area confidently.

Clarkson hit the ground with his left hand, threw the ball in front of Xu Tian, ​​and then prepared to watch the show.

Xu Tian picked up the ball with his left hand, adjusted his dribbling strength, and took off against Birdman's defense.

Birdman stretched out his right hand and took off with all his strength to block Xu Tian.

Xu Tian grabbed the ball with his left hand to avoid Birdman's defense, his arm suddenly accelerated, and he quickly dunked the ball into the basket.
