I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 505 Can It Be Prevented? !
The Lakers are also very particular about their appearance here, and the leader is actually Ci Shiping!

This guy is a guy who "had been mixed up" with Kobe back then. Compared with other people, his qualifications are definitely old enough.

Next are Yi Jianlian, Ingram, Russell and others
There were constant cheers at the scene, and when Xu Xuan appeared on the stage, the atmosphere of the entire Staples Arena climbed to the peak in an instant!

There is only one voice that can be heard in the entire arena——

"Xu Xuan!!"

"Xu Xuan!!"

"Xu Xuan!!"

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

When the whole audience is chanting a person's name, even if it is a bystander, the majestic momentum can make your mind sway involuntarily!

That is the deepest passion and touch in my heart!

The Spurs bench Popovich was a little surprised by Xu Xuan's popularity.

"How long has it been? How long has it been so popular? How strong is this kid's cohesion?!"

Popovich began coaching in 96, and it can be said that he watched Kobe grow up step by step.

But he has to admit now that even Kobe and O'Neal did not have the terrifying cohesion that Xu Xuan has now!
"It's amazing! It's really amazing!"

Although Popovich is different from those idiot reporters, he doesn't think that Xu Xuan's championship last season was won by "luck", but he never thought that after coming to the Lakers, Xu Xuan can have such an instant Many Zijin Dynasty fans support.

"This kid is a natural leader." Popovich couldn't help sighing when he saw Xu Xuan running out of the player tunnel while waving his hands.

He looked at Leonard, then shook his head.

Speaking of which, Kawaii's strength and personal ability are definitely not inferior to Xu Xuan's. Even if Xu Xuan is invincible in scoring, Kawaii's defense is too strong. To evaluate a player's personal ability is not just about offense.

But compared to Xu Xuan, Kawaii just lacks something. That thing is called leadership temperament.

Of course, the ability to lead the team is not as good as Xu Xuan.

It is true that Kawhi is the boss now, but it is supported by Manu, Parker and others, and Adelaide is on the side to help. It is not the loose sand of the Lakers before.

If the two switch positions, the Lakers are Kawhi and the Spurs are Xu Xuan, then there is only one possibility.

Xu Xuan will do better than Kawhi now, and Kawhi will definitely not be able to lead the Lakers to such a winning streak.

This is the ability to lead a team.

Natural things, you can learn if you want, but you have to take it step by step. At present, Popovich doesn't think Kawhi is a good leader, and Xu Xuan has gone too far on this road up.

After the entrance ceremony, players from both sides began to warm up.

The warm-up is over, the referee clears the field, and the game is about to start.

The starting lists of the two teams were given on the big screen.

For the away game, the Spurs sent Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi, Alder and Dajia to the starting lineup.

On the Lakers side, Xu Xuan, Russell, Barnes, Randall and Yi Jianlian were in the starting lineup.

Dajia and Yi Jianlian walked to the halfway line to jump the ball——!
Yi Jianlian's height is 213, and Dajia's height is also 213. They are the same height, but from the perspective of bouncing, Yi Jianlian definitely has the advantage——

Sure enough, this ball Yi Jianlian lived up to her expectations, she successfully dialed back the basketball, and the ball was given to Xu Xuan, hold it steady, Xu Xuan waved his hand——

Press them all!

"Here we come, the game begins! The Lakers are playing against the Spurs at home! The Lakers playing at home got the ball." Kenny Smith explained: "I don't know how the Lakers will attack, let alone how the Spurs will defend."

All the members of the Lakers pressed on, but in an instant, the Spurs' defense expanded, like a peacock spreading its tail, with five fingers spread, one-on-one defense, instantly suppressing the Lakers' offensive pace.

"The Spurs' defense is wide open. They don't seem to want the Lakers to be too happy on the perimeter. Even Yi Jian has a man on the three-point line."

"Defense the outside line? Isn't the inside line empty?"

Xu Xuan observed the situation, the first attack of the game is often not easy, and most of them can see the opponent's tactical arrangement in this game.

But what the hell is emptying the inside line?

It's impossible for that old Popovich to let him break through like this?
Is there a fraud?

Xu Xuan didn't rush to attack, but stood still and thought for a while.

On the Spurs' bench, Popovich hugged his chest and looked calm.

Before this game, the most distressing thing for him was not how to restrict Xu Xuan, because he knew that it was too difficult to restrict Xu Xuan. Even if Xu Xuan was caught by both inside and outside lanes, the Spurs would at least use it. Focus on the two defensive strengths of Kawhi and Danny Green.

And if Kawhi and Danny Green's defensive focus is all on Xu Xuan, then the rest of the Lakers will be empty. At that time, Xu Xuan can leisurely find opportunities to play for others. What's the use of Xu Xuan watching it?
The rest of the Lakers are still scoring, just in a different way.

The only way is to give up!
That's right!

You have something to do with it!
The Lakers' weakness inside is well known. Popovich's tactic is to put them all on the outside and force them to shoot from the outside.

On the inside, there are not many people on the Lakers who can break through one-on-one defense with the ball, only Xu Xuan and Russell.

Take a good look at these two people and force them to shoot from the outside.

Don't you like run and gun?

I will create a chance for you to run and bomb now!

If you don't run, I will force you to run!

what?
You ask Russell and Xu Xuan how to deal with it?

Do not deal with!
It all depends on the personal single defense ability of Kawhi and Danny Green.

If you can prevent it, you can prevent it.

If you give up, you will get something. This sentence is not just saying.

He has found a way when there is no way, and whether the players can execute it perfectly is not something he can decide.

Russell is not very worried about this, the main reason is that Xu Xuan Kawaii really can't guard against it.
Popovich stared at the paralyzed face on the field with deep eyes, "Leonard, you have the opportunity, whether you can grasp it or not, it's all up to you now!"

Frank can trust Xu Xuan's offense without reservation, so I can also trust your defense without reservation!
Xu Xuan hasn't thought of that much yet.

But the Spurs' defense did exceed his expectations.

Leonard stood in front of Xu Xuan expressionlessly, his arms hadn't been opened yet, but they covered a very wide area.

The corner of Xu Xuan's mouth twitched. Maybe it's not the reincarnation of the gibbon?
However, Xu Xuan didn't plan to kill in the first attack. The inside line looked empty. Who knew what Popovich was playing.

So, for the first attack, shoot first as a respect, without saying much, just lift it up, and make a three-point shot——!
fadeaway jumper --

A wonderful landscape unfolds slowly in the center of the Staples Arena
With a swish—!
Three point hit!

The Lakers took the lead.

"Hoho! These three points are amazing!" Wang Meng grinned and praised.

"That's Xu Xuan, that is, Xu Xuan can shoot a three-pointer with such a perfect posture, it's amazing! It's amazing!"

Yang Yi echoed from the side: "If you want to talk about why he is the top star in the league, there are really not many people in this league who can touch Xu Xuan, everyone!"

Looking back, the Spurs attacked, and Dajia sent the baseline ball to Parker to advance.

Defensively the Spurs are strong, as is the offense.

One step beyond the three-point line, the French sports car Parker gestured to command——

zip hammer tactics.

The Spurs moved quickly, and Ade put up the three-point line to cover.

Xu Xuan circled ahead of time and continued to chase and defend——

Parker's speed is really slow. Five years ago, even if Xu Xuan made a block in advance, Parker could take the opportunity to get rid of his body. What time difference.

However, Kawhi on the left had a chance, and Parker passed the ball in time, pulled it up, and made a two-pointer——

The iconic shot position, Kawhi's first shot——

Boom!
No entry!

Look at the basket!
Dajia took off quickly, trying to make a tip-up, but Yi Jianlian followed suit at the same time——

"Not good! Ah Lian's position is stuck! Gasol is stuck in Ah Lian! Adelaide is coming, Adelaide completed the layup and scored!" Wang Meng kept explaining, speaking very fast: "The Spurs are here. An ambush was made, Dajia was a cover, and Adelaide was the core of the offense."

2:3.

The bottom line of the mixed team is delivered.

Xu Xuan held the ball across the half court and reached the three-point line. Kawaii, who was defending him, was expressionless.

The Spurs' overall defensive strategy is to spread, spread, spread, and keep spreading outward.

The defensive line was stretched very long.

Xu Xuan wasn't in a hurry to kill, he just made a three-pointer and felt good.

Call the pick-and-roll directly from outside the three-point line——

Yi Jian even came up to cover.

Block the kawaii.

Kawaii blocked ahead of time, and his sense of smell was very keen.

There was no chance for the cover, Xu Xuan dribbled the ball with his right hand, waved his left hand, and pulled them all away. I'm going to singles!

The second three-pointer in the opening game was like a meteor across the sky. Then it fell into the net with a whoosh—!
Two shots in the opening two!
Hi fans.

"Xu Xuan!!"

"Xu Xuan!!" "Xu Xuan!!"

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

"MVP!!"

The fans started again, a new round of cheering.

2 is better than 6!

On the sidelines, Popovich looked calm and scored two three-pointers at the start. The only thing that can prove it is that Xu Xuan seems to feel good in this game.

So... Leonard, can you defend yourself!

! ! ! ! !

The Spurs attack.

The Lakers used Xu Xuan's personal ability to score two consecutive three-pointers in the opening game. If this were placed on some young teams with no deep background, they would probably be a little panicked now.

But the Spurs are different.

Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face.

The five Spurs are very calm.

Kawaii and Ade are pure facial paralysis.

But Dajia and Parker have seen a lot of big wind and waves, so why haven't they seen it?
As for Danny Green, this guy is not afraid at all, but very excited
The Spurs play zip hammer tactics.

Kawhi missed a shot just now, and Parker dropped the ball to the low post for Adelaide's singles.

Today, Barnes in the third position of the Lakers defends Kawhi.

On the fourth position is Randall, a young player who is not very good at offense and not good at defense, but compared to his age group, he is not bad.

Frank originally considered letting Thomas Robinson start to defend Adelaide in the fourth position, but was stopped by Xu Xuan.

No need.

Blind protection is not protection, it is spoiling!
Moreover, in a regular season, even if they lose, the Lakers will not lose anything. It is better to let Randall play. He will definitely learn a lot from a player like Alder.

Randall had a hard time defending the low post.

He is 206 tall, but Adelaide has a height of 211, and Adelaide's famous style of play is floor flow.

After Duncan retired, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the league's "strongest floor power forward".

The characteristic of the floor flow is solid!
Solid footwork, solid dribbling, solid power, solid turns, solid shooting
Everything is a foundation, but everything is terribly solid!
Randall was pushed back by Adidas who was pushing hard. When he came to the free throw line, Adelaide saw the opportunity, turned around and feinted, and scored a layup!

4 is better than 6!

Adelaide scored 4 points in the opening game.

Lakers possession.

He failed to defend two consecutive goals. Although Kawaii's face is still calm, his actions are obviously more fierce than before.

"Oh, this ball, Xu Xuan seems to be ready to break through!"

"I can't do it. Nader shouted at Xu Xuan's face and slapped Xu Xuan's head. He couldn't find a chance to shoot."

Snapped!Taking a quick step, Xu Xuan bumped headfirst into Leonard's body, and his steps became chaotic.

Xu Xuan frowned. He quickly adjusted his dribble and took a few steps back. Not a second later, he started dribbling again to speed up his pace, and was about to break through from Leonard's other side.

At this time, Leonard opened his arms and stood directly on the only way for Xu Xuan to break through. Xu Xuan's right arm dribbled the ball, just as Leonard imagined, and hit Leonard's chest straight.

boom!
The two had intense physical contact, and both of them frowned at the same time.

Xu Xuan didn't expect that he didn't rush in, but Leonard didn't expect Xu Xuan to have such a big impact, he almost didn't stop.

Because of the inertia of the movement, Xu Xuan didn't choose to stop, and bumped into Leonard abruptly. Xu Xuan turned sideways, avoided Lu Nan's block, and staggered to continue rushing in.Leonard also leaned over, and stuck his whole body up.

Xu Xuan rushed to the inside, and the Spurs have always been single-defense. If it was normal, Xu Xuan would definitely force a layup, but this time it was different. Xu Xuan could feel the pressure Leonard put on him, so he rushed all the way to the basket. Next, Leonard took advantage of his wingspan to tightly block Xu Xuan's shooting space.

This arm span. Envy!
In all fairness, Xu Xuan's arm span is not short, and his palm is not too small, but compared with Kawaii, it really pales in comparison. This guy's arm span and palm size are simply miracles in human history.
The ball was blocked very well, Xu Xuan is now in a dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating.

If the ball is given to someone else, such as James, there is a high probability that it will be a forced layup.

But because of the angle and force of the layup, there is a high probability that it will hit the basket directly on the neck in the end.
But Xu Xuan chose another way.
