I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 660 Cancel three points?

104 to 110, the Thunder finally lost to the Lakers and lost the game.

Westbrook "walked" very unhappy.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, the key is that in this game, Xu Xuan got another triple-double.

38 points, 11 assist, 10 rebound.

A large triple-double.

But he himself failed to get a triple-double, unhappy.

"Xu, remember it. I want to get back what you owe me." Before leaving, Westbrook still looked serious.

Xu Xuan rolled his eyes.

What about you, Nima?

Get lost!
The next opponent is the San Antonio Spurs.

On February 2, the Lakers played at home.

This season, it is the second time they have played against the Spurs. The last time the Lakers lost the game unfortunately, this time, everyone is gearing up to win back.

The Spurs' current record is 44 wins and 13 losses, ranking third in the West after the Lakers and Warriors.

"Yes, I am very familiar with the player Leonard, as you all know, the All-Star just passed, he is my teammate, we cooperate very well, I know him, he is a very powerful forward, His mid-range shot is very deadly, and we will find ways to put more pressure on him in the mid-range, so as not to let him shoot so easily." Facing the interview with media reporters, Xu Xuan seemed very calm, "It is difficult for you to limit a player He's a proficient mid-range shooter, and, in case you don't know, for us, the most difficult problem for the Spurs is not Leonard, but their outside three-pointers. Popovich is clamoring all day To cancel the three-pointer, but I seem to find that the Spurs' three-pointer is sharper than anyone else."

The reporters at the scene all laughed.

indeed.

Popovich, an old guy, clamors all day long for the league to cancel the "unreasonable setting" of three-pointers. In fact, he shoots himself more than anyone else.

"Here, I want to say something to Mr. Popovich, please do it, if the three-pointer is cancelled, what will we rookies do, so let us go." Xu Xuan said funny.

It is naturally impossible to cancel the three-pointer. This is just a simple disgusting Popovich, who made him scream all day to cancel the three-pointer.

After hearing the report from the reporter, Popovich smiled and said: "Don't blame me, I haven't said anything, okay, okay, I'm going to prepare for the game, this is a A tough game!"

The game is over, so I won't talk nonsense with you. This is Popovich's attitude.

At 7 p.m., the Lakers' home court, the Staples Center.

The venue was already full of spectators.

For Lakers fans, it is definitely a blessing to be able to see Xu Xuan's game every day.

In the brightly lit arena, the starters of the two teams have already stood on the field.

The Lakers are Xu Xuan, Russell, Ingram, Randall and Yi Jianlian's full starting lineup.

On the Spurs side is the starting lineup of Parker, Danny Green, Kaka, Alder and Dwayne Diamond.

Yi Jianlian won the jump ball.

The Lakers' first offense.

Xu Xuan dribbled the ball across the half.

The Spurs' defensive formation is still dominated by man-to-man, and they did not use small cards to defend, but Danny Green to defend.

Green is also a very well-known 3D player in the league, but he also has a nickname called "Zhang Tielin". He is very accurate when he is accurate, and scary when he is not accurate.

But although the accuracy may be a bit uncertain, his "D" is really good, and he and Kaka also constitute the basic defense of the Spurs.

But Xu Xuan still played this ball very resolutely.

Xu Xuan dribbled the ball one step outside the three-second zone, retreated and turned around, then dribbled the ball with his right hand and passed it to his left, turning his head to look to his left. At this time, Xu Xuan had completely attracted the Spurs' defensive focus. All eyes were on Xu Xuan.

Ingram took a stride, crossed from Xu Xuan's left side, threw off Xiaoka who was focusing on Xu Xuan, and rushed into the penalty area!
At the same time, Xu Xuan hit the ground to pass the ball and caught up with Ingram. Ingram caught the ball and jumped up to dunk. With a bang, an explosive sound resounded in the Spurs' penalty area.

Then, with a bang, Staples screamed. The Lakers fans hadn't reacted yet, but when they did, they didn't cheer, because they couldn't believe it until now, such a beautiful An empty cut dunk was actually completed by Ingram and Xu Xuan!

"Ingram completed a beautiful air-cut dunk! It's great! It's Ingram!" The DJ at the scene couldn't control so much, he directly raised his voice and shouted, and the scene finally cooperated with cheers Voice.

Ingram looked very excited. This goal meant a lot to him. He bounced forward and had a chest bump with Xu Xuan who assisted him, then raised his hand towards the sidelines.

Ingram's performance with the Lakers this season cannot be called good.

Many Los Angeles fans are actually disappointed with Ingram.

No way, who made him the second place?
Who made his template Durant?
When the strength displayed is not enough, people will naturally be disappointed with him.

Because the chances Ingram got in the Lakers are not rare, Xu Xuan treats him and Russell equally, and even in a certain way, Xu Xuan values ​​​​Ingram more.

It’s just that as of now, Russell’s performance is good, but Ingram is a bit weak and can’t meet expectations, so naturally some people don’t like him, and even think he should be traded away.

According to a fan: "In the final analysis, Brother Ying is also our player, isn't he? Our players have performed outstandingly, and we should cheer."

An empty cut dunk helped Ingram conquer some fans who had criticized him, which was not expected in advance.

The game continues.

The Spurs attack.

Parker broke through with the ball.

Although there was Ade's cover, he broke through the three-point line and was double-teamed by Xu Xuan and Russell.

Russell assisted in the defense, and Danny Green hurried out of the open space. At this time, Ingram, who was defending the small card, rushed to defend Danny Green again. Danny Green is a very powerful shooting point for the Spurs outside.

At this time, Xiaoka was let go by the Lakers, so Xiaoka decisively went around to the weak side and stood at a 45-degree angle!

The basketball flew over, and Parker's pass was still so timely.

Empty card!
There was a scream at the Staples Center!
Xiaoka received the basketball in the open spot!

This is a three-pointer!
Swish!
"Xiaoka's seat!" Kenny Smith shouted.

"The ball is in!"

Very beautiful goal, or a three-pointer!
"Before the game, I saw Xu Xuan say in an interview that Popovich said that he would cancel the three-pointer, but they obviously made the most shots. I still didn't believe it. Now I can't help but not believe it." Barkley said with a smile: "The Spurs are the most favorite team in the league to shoot three-pointers. There is no one. You can see that Kaka's first attack is all three-pointers."

3:2.

Lakers offense.

Xu Xuan dribbled the ball across the half.

Hand it over to Russell's frontcourt organization.

Run along the sideline to the basket.

Yi Jian put on the pick-and-roll.

The Spurs obviously don't want to see Xu Xuan without the ball go to the center.

That way
Center will die!
at the same time.

Randall stepped up to the top of the arc to screen for Russell, blocking Parker.

Adelaide was at the free throw line. Seeing this, he moved his feet and immediately went up to defend Russell.

Russell didn't have a good chance.

Turn around and continue to Ingram.

Ingram didn't have a good chance facing Kaka's defense, and gave it to the basket with a backhand.

With the help of Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll, Xu Xuan had gotten rid of Danny Green at this time, facing the defense of Spurs center Dedmon, and sent the ball in a diagonal thrust——

A very perfect arc crossed and fell directly into the Nets!
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

"Hey! Xu Xuan's footsteps are interesting, first to the left, then to the right, and the defense is all swayed. Also, the ability to seize opportunities is really good!"

"Dedmond's big defense ability is pretty good, but in front of Xu Xuan, it's really full of mistakes and omissions, it's not good at all!"

"It depends on who it's with, can Dedmond guard against Xu Xuan? It's a ghost!"

"The defense of this ball is actually pretty good, and Dedmon basically didn't leave any dead ends, but it's still the same sentence, as long as you give it a chance, Xu Xuan can score you the ball!"

3:4.

The Spurs attack.

bang... bang...

Tony Parker was dribbling the ball from beyond the three-point line and was slow to pass or take a shot.

Parker is the core of the Spurs' playmaking offense.

The NBA has a statistic called the ball possession rate. Tony Parker’s ball possession rate is above 20 all year round, ranking in the top [-] in the league. As for whether this statistic reflects personal strength or a cancerous style of play, it has not been known until now. There is no conclusion.

But what Xu Xuan knows is that Tony Parker's style of play allows players who are good at catch and shoot to play better statistics under Parker, such as Danny Green.

Tony Parker has the ball, and the rest of the Spurs start sprinting to create the open.

But Parker was not idle either, he began to speed up the frequency of dribbling, then passed Russell with one step, and cut in with the ball...

Danny Green ran to the bottom corner, and then made another forward circle to the top of the arc. Xu Xuan was a step slower, and Green raised his hands to ask for the ball.

The Spurs had no better chance, either Parker forced a layup, or passed the ball to Green who created an open space, so Parker, who is pass-oriented, chose to pass the ball.

Green at the top of the arc receives the pass, catches the ball and shoots!

Xu Xuan rushed forward!Long arms block out the sun!
The basketball deviated from the track and finally bounced out of the frame!

Did not enter!

"Beautiful defense!!!"

Barkley praised directly.

This defense is beautiful!

"Let me tell you, in the playoffs, Xu Xuan's defense will definitely improve, and it will definitely shock some people's jaws!"

Barkley said proudly.

"So, even if Xu Xuan's defense will improve, but he has to attack and defend, what else can he care about?"

Kenny Smith said.

The smile on Barkley's face froze instantly.

Yes, so what if there is an improvement in defense?
Will Xu Xuan go on defense then?
"So, I said that the Lakers team has too many loopholes, and their preparations in all aspects are actually poor, so I said that they should be the one with the least hope of winning the championship." Reggie Miller said.

It is not easy to win the championship.

There are many factors that go into winning a championship.

A complete lineup system, strong substitutes, healthy rotation, reliable scorers and defenders. These things are all indispensable.

And what do the Lakers have?
A complete lineup system?
Do not!
they do not!

The current lineup, except for Xu Xuan, is all patchwork. No one would think that three rookies plus a player who just returned to the NBA can save the world.

And a strong substitute?

Well, this is barely there, but Lu Wei and Nick Young have a good offense, but when it comes to defense, they are all bitter tears.

Too biased.

With a healthy rotation, the Lakers can barely meet the standard.

In the big list, basically the body is good, there is no obvious glass attribute.

Then there are scorers and defenders you can trust.

At this point, the Lakers began to catch blind again.

Because only Xu Xuan is the scorer, and Xu Xuan is the only defender on the perimeter.

In the case of relying on Xu Xuan, the fault tolerance rate is too low.

Because there is no weak person who can reach the finals!
Everyone is a strong enemy, and everyone must be fighting against your weaknesses.

You have so many loopholes, and Xu Xuan wants to make up for it alone?

The difficulty is really unimaginable.

"I admit that Xu Xuan is very good, a rare all-rounder, but I still don't think they can win the championship. I think the second round of the playoffs is their end, even if they finished the first regular season , I still think so.” Reggie Miller said bluntly.

Barkley couldn't find any reason to refute for a while.

indeed.

The premise of discussing whether a team can win the championship is that the team's combination looks really good.

But even the Nets who got Griffin in later generations are not the lowest in terms of winning odds.

There are still a lot of people who are not optimistic about the Nets winning the championship.

Back on the field.

After slapping the ball in Danny Green's hand.

The ball goes straight out of bounds.

Still the Spurs have the ball.

The Spurs re-served the ball against the cheers of the audience and reorganized the offense. Parker was more careful, dribbled and broke through, and then made an emergency stop for a jumper. He still wanted to hit Russell, but Russell was very skilled in defense. Clinging to Parker with his body, when Parker made an emergency stop for a jump shot, Russell pulled back all of a sudden, directly blocking Parker's shooting angle.

With a bang, the ball hit the iron directly.

There was a shout from inside, and Diamond was going to grab the rebound against Yi Jianlian. Suddenly, Xu Xuan appeared from the side, jumped high, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the rebound.

"Fast break!" Xu Xuan yelled, and immediately threw the basketball to Ingram. Ingram held the ball, and after a quick dribble, he rushed to the frontcourt, attracted the defense, and directly passed the ball to the other side. , Randall adjusted his posture in the mid-range, and then made an open mid-range shot, which hit with a bang!
