I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 554 Rose of the Nightless City!
The situation is not so good, 73 to 67, leading by 6 points, the home fans are a little nervous, but the Knicks fans in front of the TV are excited.

Thinking back to last season, it was still a bad team. After a big transformation this year, the effect is so good that it is unbelievable.

I don't know why, but Derrick Rose feels that he is full of physical strength. After almost a quarter of attack, the hands holding the ball still can't help but want to move, but this may not be a good thing. The price of overdrawing physical strength in advance .
Seeing Xu Xuan posted it again, Derrick Rose felt a more aggressive defense.

However, he was unmoved, turned sideways to protect the ball, and observed the situation in the penalty area for a while. Derek Rose suddenly turned around quickly, always making a quick breakthrough and directly throwing off Xu Xuan, facing Yang Shaoxia Derrick Rose passed Yang Shaoxia with an extremely fast change of direction, rushed all the way to the penalty area, jumped up lightly and completed a dunk!
"With two more points, 'Rose that Never Sleeps' has broken the defense of the Los Angeles people. The battle between the largest city in the United States and the second largest city in the United States may have been decided! No one in the Lakers can solve Derek Ross, he is already super god!"

New York is the largest city and largest port in the United States.Also known as "Apple City" or "City That Never Sleeps".

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States.It is also the largest city in the western United States.

These two cities are also some of the richest teams in the league, but the Knicks belong to the giants, but in terms of background and achievements, they are definitely not as good as the current Los Angeles. Originally, they had a chance to catch up with or even surpass Los Angeles, and truly established themselves as "the first" "big rich family", but unfortunately, they failed to keep Xu Xuan and Xu Xuan became their opponent.

This is the deepest pain in the heart of every New York fan.

Just thinking about it makes them want to chop some old guy up
Thinking about the bargaining chips at the beginning, the Pacers only used Solomon Hill + the first round pick in 2015 + the second round pick in 2016 to get Xu Xuan from the Knicks with three almost useless chips!
Who is Xu Xuan?

The most popular "fried chicken" in the league today, the superstar who led the team to win the championship in the second year and won the FMVP in the second year, was actually replaced by that old guy with these three LJs. It hurts to think about it.

It doesn't hurt if you don't want to, the more you think about it, the more it hurts, the kind that hurts so much that you can't breathe.
Especially when they thought of Xu Xuan leading the dilapidated little place of Indiana to win the championship, they felt as if they had been stabbed in their hearts. This championship was originally theirs!
But now that the matter has come to a conclusion, no matter how anxious they are, they can't turn back the clock.

Simply, they have gained a lot this summer. Rose Ganoah, the super combination of the Bulls came to the Big Apple, and it seems that the effect seems to be good, especially Rose. Rose in this game even made them feel. doesn't seem to be hurt
And Noah's performance is almost, but with Porzingis, he can be a perfect substitute for Noah.

Back to the game.

Xu Xuan came over with the ball and pushed it over.

This time it was still a pick-and-roll with Zubac.

Zubac blocks Rose.

Then go down.

Hernangomez was slow to make up the defense.

Xu Xuan had a flash of inspiration, and Bai Qiao's talent was activated again, and he directly hit the ground with precision, and the ball rebounded and passed through Hernangomez's crotch.

To Zubac.

Zubac received a pass in the three-second zone and made another furious dunk.

After landing, the young player Zubac blushed. It was obvious that he had a good dunk today, and there were not so many dunk opportunities in the past.

73 to 69, Xu Xuan successfully fed the cake again.

"Oh."

The audience was once again surprised by Xu Xuan's spiritual pass.

"Xu, good job."

The applause of the audience was not late, they expressed 66666 with the warmest cheers.

You have Rose, we have Xu Xuan, no one loves anyone!

Switch offense.

It was still Derrick Rose. He quickly dribbled the ball to the front court. After these few rounds, Xu Xuan's defense against him was not all successful, but the effect was not good. At least Rose can clearly feel Xu Xuan's difficulty now. He began to pay attention to Xu Xuan as a defender, and he had already discovered that Xu Xuan's defense seemed to be stronger than the rest of the Lakers.

This time, Derek Rose still decided to come by himself. He would not be intimidated by Xu Xuan, and it was the first step that was a second faster. superior.

Derrick Rose didn't panic this time, he calmly took another step forward, followed by a coherent retreat step, followed by a rapid change of direction, and once again swayed past Xu Xuan.

It is impossible for Xu Xuan to be swayed like this. When Derrick Rose changed direction, Xu Xuan directly moved sideways quickly, and actually blocked Derrick Rose first.

"Huh?" In seconds, Derek Rose was surprised that Xu Xuan seemed to defend better this time than last time!

"Did you think that would work?"

However, Derrick Rose was not prepared to break through Xu Xuan's defense with only one change of direction.

When Xu Xuan rushed to him, Derek Rose made another half-turn and another change of direction!
Accompanied by the huge physical energy consumption, there was an exclamation from the sidelines, because this continuous change of direction is really against the sky!
Derrick Rose buried his head in a breakthrough, this breakthrough?That Asian should not be able to catch up, right?

But, in the next second, a pair of long arms wrapped around him, and Xu Xuan came again!

"China Xu is haunted, he is like a stalking brat, Derrick Rose is stalked by him!"

Kenny Smith said excitedly.

Facing Xu Xuan's sticky defense, Derrick Rose couldn't get rid of it. He forced the ball again. Two changes of direction brought him closer to the basket, so this time he chose to grasp a bigger throw.

Xu Xuan still interfered with the ball firmly, the basketball flew out, dangled on the basket, and finally fell down.

This time, Derrick Rose even used two consecutive direction-changing nirvana against the sky, but Xu Xuan still prevented it!

"Beautiful defense! It's down! Xu Xuan's defense is down!!"

Barkley exclaimed excitedly.

not easy!
Relatively speaking, Xu Xuan's defensive talent is not as strong as his offensive performance. This is why many people say that Xu Xuan is not as good as Kobe or LeBron James.

There is no way, the other two are good defensive players in addition to offense, and Xu Xuan was not famous for his defense before, even if he practiced hard with Kobe this summer, this is not something that can be learned in a day or two , This requires talent, but also time.

However, judging from the games that the Lakers have played, Xu Xuan's defense is really good. No matter in terms of consciousness or skills, Xu Xuan's defense is not rapid, at least it is no problem to play a defensive role.

But now, Xu Xuan's defensive ability gave them another surprise. Rose's ball was blocked, which was not easy or easy!
The word "spirituality" pops into everyone's head.

Rose was also a little surprised. He knew that the No. 23 on the opposite side was very aggressive.

But I didn't expect his passing accuracy to be so high.

The ground pass is a test of the basic skills of the point guard.

The angle, strength, and judgment of the forward direction of the in-cut teammate cannot have the slightest deviation.

A slight deviation is a mistake.

Seeing Xu Xuan dare to use this bold way of passing, he is obviously full of confidence in his personal ability...

Of course, what is shown in front of the camera is the five best balls.

The crotch piercing in sports is undoubtedly another kind of humiliation to the person being pierced.

The game continues.

The ball is out of bounds and the Lakers have the ball.

Xu Xuan brought it over and handed it over to Yang Shaoxia for another three-point shot——

"Dangdang!"

still none.

Frank frowned on the sidelines, and beckoned to Russell over there, about to change.

Porzingis receives the rebound.

In the frontcourt, Xu Xuan faced Rose again.

Derrick Rose directly calls the pick-and-roll, which is not common in the past. Derrick Rose is better at breaking through the opponent through the speed of the first step, coupled with high-speed direction changes. As for the pick-and-roll, Derrick Rose uses it. Less.

Now facing the pressure from Xu Xuan, Derek Rose had to use the pick-and-roll.

Porzingis pulled out and directly made a high-quality pick-and-roll for Derek Rose. Xu Xuan took a scud and quickly bypassed Porzingis, but he did not expect Derek Rose, who was one position ahead of Xu Xuan Rose directly chose to shoot.

The emergency stop jumper after the pick-and-roll, the ball actually went in!

"Hey, it's a pity that Xu Xuan didn't defend Derrick Rose this time. Of course, it's not Xu Xuan's fault, because he was blocked by Porzingis. In the final analysis, it was because the other players of the Lakers didn't defend in time. "Zhang rationally analyzed it.

75:69.

"Beep!"

Here the Lakers had just sent the ball, and before they had time to dribble, they heard the referee whistle.

Frank called a timeout.

Substitution.

Nick Young goes off, Russell goes on, Larry Nance Jr. goes off, Randall goes on, but Zubac, who was fiery just now, is still left on the court. Now the Lakers' lineup on the field is Xu Xuan, Russell Hall, Barnes at the third position, Randall and Zubac.

On the Knicks side, Coach Jeff also began to change after consideration. Now it is Rose, Cornett Lee, Melon, Hernangomez and Porzingis.

Holiday is off and Cornett Lee is back.

The game restarts.

Xu Xuan held the ball to organize the team's offense.

Russell, Barnes, Zubac and others succeeded one after another.

The Knicks are also in full bloom here, with Cornett Lee, Melon, and Boshen all scoring.

The scores of the two teams are always very close, but one side can't expand the lead, and the other side can't tie it.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 91 to 89, with the Knicks leading by 2 points.

Although ahead.

But Rose still didn't dare to relax.

After he left the field, his eyes have been staring at the situation on the field nervously.

This 2-point lead was made by them in the third quarter. Otherwise, according to the scoring rhythm of the Lakers, the point difference would have been caught up long ago.

In the third quarter, the precious physical energy was exhausted to the limit, how to play the next game?
Ross is not afraid of Xu Xuan.

In terms of scoring and organization, he is not afraid of Xu Xuan, but in terms of physical fitness, he is really no match.

And in the process of entanglement with Xu Xuan, he could clearly feel that his physical energy was being consumed very quickly, especially the old injury before, which was now aching.
But the top priority is still the game. In the fourth quarter, Derrick Rose suddenly became smart. What he is doing now is actually exchanging space for time, using pick-and-rolls to open up more distance from Xu Xuan, and then shooting directly. This style of play In fact, there are great limitations, because Derrick Rose can only make an emergency stop for a jumper. For other offensive methods, Derrick Rose probably arrived before Xu Xuan made a shot.

Therefore, Xu Xuan is still not too worried. How many points can Derrick Rose score just for an emergency stop jump shot?
The game continued. On the Lakers side, Russell ran several times, and finally ran out of an open spot. The ball arrived as well as the man. He made a three-pointer and made a successful hit.

Switching to the Knicks offense, Derrick Rose continued to hold the ball. He was really not satisfied with a simple pull-up jumper. Derrick Rose also knew that if it was just a pull-up jumper, the success rate of the offense would not be very high. Unfortunately, Derrick Rose's leading role in the Knicks' offense is gone.

So, it was still a pick-and-roll, but after the pick-and-roll, Derrick Rose rushed straight into the Lakers' penalty area, and Xu Xuan quickly bypassed Hernangomez, chasing after him.

Derrick Rose glanced back, Xu Xuan was already close at hand, and this attack failed again.

As soon as Derrick Rose rushed to the free throw line, Xu Xuan chased after him. Of course, Randall's supplementary defense was also very important. After Xu Xuan caught up with Derrick Rose, Rose knew that this offense could not continue Yes, he chose to pass the ball, hoping to reorganize the offense.

Reorganizing the offense, Derrick Rose played off the ball, but the Knicks really didn't have any good organizers. Porzingis took the ball to find a chance for a while, but couldn't find it, so Porzingis came by himself.

One of the advantages of Porzingis is that he can hold the ball properly and shoot from the outside.

This is one of the characteristics of a center in the new era. Even Jordan, the famous rough guy, can handle the ball properly. At that level, not to mention comparing with others, it is even better than some pure control players in the domestic league. Wei is even better
Porzingis had a good chance to catch this ball and scored a perfect mid-range net.

103 to 99, with more than 5 minutes left in the game, the Knicks widened the point difference to 4 points.

"Speaking of which, this game was beyond my expectations. The Knicks could push the Lakers to this point. I always thought they would be vulnerable under the Lakers' strong attack, but I didn't expect them not only to hold on, now Still ahead," Kenny Smith sighed.

"It's all through hard work. Look at Derek. Although the last quarter has changed his style of play, he still consumes a lot of energy and is sweating profusely. What about Xu Xuan who is facing him? Yun Dan The wind is light, as if I don’t feel the same at all. I haven’t exerted my strength yet, and the opponent is already tired.” O’Neill pointed to the game track off the court.
