I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 680 It's time to beat the rhythm!
There is no way to fight like this!Everyone knows that this is not the way to fight!
The biggest advantage of the Lakers is limited.

No score.

How can the Lakers win without scoring?

Is it like the Grizzlies, relying on defense to win?

Do not make jokes!
The Lakers must rely on offense to win. Once the offense cannot be opened, it feels like they will lose!

This is no joke!
And the Grizzlies will not give up any chance to beat the Lakers.

"The Lakers have to figure out a way. They played at the rhythm of the Grizzlies throughout the first half, and Russell and Ingram had to adjust their moods. They didn't score a point in the first half. If you can't score, then Frank's lineup must be adjusted!" Yang Yi said firmly.

As soon as Frank's starting lineup came out today, it was actually full of controversy.

Everyone is saying that with so many rookies on the court, it is too unstable, because they may all collapse once they collapse.

Sure enough, after the first half, the two rookies, except Randall, performed extremely poorly.

If it wasn't for Xu Xuan's hard-fought two quarters, plus the rescue of Lu Wei, Barnes and others, the Lakers' game would probably be overwhelmed by the Grizzlies in advance.

It's that cruel!

In the locker room, Ingram and Russell were silent, and Xu Xuan didn't talk about chicken soup for the soul, but Ci Shiping went up to talk to the two young men.

Xu Xuan believed that none of them were fools, even if they were a little younger, they knew everything they should know.

let people say?
It's better to realize it yourself!
If you understand it, you will understand it, and it is of no great use if you do not understand you!

Xu Xuan looked very cold at this time.

A completely different image from the regular season.

why?

The playoffs are a brutal slaughterhouse. You can't show your timidity here. Once you show your timidity, what you are waiting for is not some gentle and drizzle-like instruction, but the impact of a violent storm!
If you can't stand it, then retreat!

Abdicate to Xian!
The regular season is an easy time, but the playoffs are not!

Every second in the playoffs is important and irreparable!

Seeing that his persuasion had no effect, and the two young people still looked frustrated and lost, Ci Shiping could only shake his head helplessly and walk away.

At this moment, Xu Xuan spoke.

"Put away your looks!"

His tone was cold and cold, as if he had no emotion, and every word was very clear: "I told you a long time ago, the playoffs are different from the regular season. These are two different games. You want Come up with two different attitudes. I've said that many times."

He paused, and continued: "We will continue to play later, you two will be partners in the third quarter, Russell, you go to control the ball, and Louis, you also go."

Xu Xuan said coldly.

He is going to rest in the third quarter, he has to rest for a while, he can't play the whole game as soon as the playoffs come up, can he?

He must take a proper rest and regain some energy.

As for Russell and Ingram, he has said everything he should say. They will play in the third quarter. The Lakers can still afford to lose. Instead of staying behind and losing, it is better to lose now .

Frank obviously understood what Xu Xuan meant, and he agreed as soon as he gritted his teeth.

At the same time, I feel helpless.

Look, I guess it will be criticized by the fans again later. In fact, this is Xu Xuan's idea, regardless of his business!

As soon as the second half came up, the Lakers started to play high pick-and-rolls.

Playing high pick-and-rolls is the result of discussions between Frank and several coaches. Frank decided to find another way, taking advantage of the perimeter defensive disadvantages of the Grizzlies' substitute Zach Randolph, and playing high pick-and-rolls. Mainly CIC.

In the second half, the Lakers who switched to high-post pick-and-rolls did get a lot of opportunities, but the Grizzlies' offense was revived because of the release in the second quarter, and because of Xu Xuan's end, Mike Conley and Vince Carter began to run wild , scored again and again, and continued to take the lead.

With just over seven minutes left in the third quarter, the Grizzlies took a six-point lead, and Mike Conley, along with Vince Carter, double-checked the Grizzlies' offense.

The game is difficult to play. Frank knows that in order to crack the Grizzlies' defense, the Lakers have actually changed their original offensive play, which made the Lakers lose their original strong offense, but there is no way. Is it to restrain the Lakers' offense?The defense that expands inside and outside makes the Lakers' pick-and-cut tactics very difficult. The high pick-and-roll tactic is obviously Frank's last choice.

The third quarter ended quickly. Under the pressure of the Lakers to change their tactics, the Grizzlies maintained an 8-point advantage at the end of the third quarter, and under the current suffocating offense and defense, the 8-point advantage is already quite large. With an advantage of 15 points.

At this time, everyone knew that the Lakers were in trouble, even Xu Xuan, even Barkley who had no brains to support Xu Xuan.

But the game isn't over yet.

In the third quarter, although the Lakers' point difference was stretched to 8 points, after Xu Xuan came on the court, the two young men, Ingram and Russell, still improved in their status. They both scored and did not slump again and again.

This is a good thing!

For Xu Xuan, it is a good thing to have such a change.

Don't say that they are holding back. Who is not nervous for young people to play in the playoffs for the first time?

Who isn't excited?

Who is not afraid?
Xu Xuan understands their performance in the first half, but they must know that understanding you does not mean that you can continue like this forever, you must have a clear understanding of yourself, otherwise, you will only be eliminated , This is Xu Xuan's opinion!

I understand you, but it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!

"Being behind by 8 points, we still have a chance." Xu Xuan looked around. Russell and Ingram, who had just scored their first playoff points in their careers, were a little excited but also a little scared.

What they are afraid of is, what if they don't score in the third quarter?
Isn't that a straight kiss explosion?
"I will lead you to continue playing later. You must keep up with my rhythm. You can do whatever I do here. You can have your own ideas, but now you must listen to me." Xu Xuan continued to be strict road.

To put it bluntly, Xu Xuan didn't want to lose in the first match!

Even if he was 8 points behind, Xu Xuan still wanted to try.

"clear."

"clear"

"clear"

Everyone answered one after another.

Ci Shiping nodded secretly beside him, this is what a team leader should do.

It was the same with Naka back then. He was usually peaceful, but at critical moments, when he was talking, he didn't dare to talk back.

Now Xu Xuan has undoubtedly done this.

majesty!

This is one of the necessary qualities of a team leader!

"I will attack with all my strength later, all you have to do is to do your own thing, keep up with my rhythm, and guard against your opponent." Xu Xuan said seriously to everyone, "But one thing to remember yes,"

Xu Xuan raised a finger: "When I create opportunities for you, don't think about anything in your mind, just think about it, and throw the damn ball to me, understand? "

Xu Xuan is not very demanding of them, he knows how to defend, knows how to shoot, and don't hesitate to shoot, that's all.

It's that simple.

The point is, his teammates really listened to his words, especially Russell and Ingram.

Xu Xuan focused on these two people.

Ingram and Russell obviously understood, and nodded to Xu Xuan with serious faces.

They're going to play in the fourth quarter too!

The task is very difficult!

The fans at the scene held their breath.

It is very difficult for them to fall behind by 8 points, but as long as Xu Xuan is still on the court, there is no big problem!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!!"

The fans at the scene are still cheering.

They cheered from the start of the game to the scene!
Many people are exhausted, but more people are still standing still, shouting passionately.

The last quarter of the game begins.

The Lakers go first.

Xu Xuan held the ball across the half.

"The Lakers are speeding up?" Grizzlies coach David Fizdale, who was sitting on the sidelines, suddenly stood up from his seat.

In the first three quarters, the rhythm has always been under the control of the Grizzlies. David Fizdale also felt that the Lakers seemed to have given up in today's game. Unexpectedly, in the last quarter, the Lakers actually sped up! !
"Suppress them! Play positional warfare!!!" Thinking of this, David Fizdale no longer hesitated, and yelled directly at the field.

This time is the rhythm of the hedge!

Whoever can overwhelm the rhythm will win!
Although David Fizdale is the new head coach, he is not a fool or a novice. He was the chief assistant before, and he understands the importance of rhythm better than anyone else!
The Grizzlies obviously understand.

In other words, what they mainly studied before, the tactics to deal with the Lakers, is how to deal with fast breaks!
Everyone knows that the Lakers' fast break is unparalleled in the world, how can they not be vigilant?

But at the moment when they raised their vigilance, Xu Xuan had already finished the quick move!

Like a bolt of lightning, Xu Xuan, who was in possession of the ball, passed through Mike Conley's defense at some point and went straight to the basket!

"What? When?!!!!" Mike Conley was shocked!
Xu Xuan passed through such a tight line of defense in the blink of an eye?
Fuck! ! !

"Replenish defense! Replenish defense! Replenish defense!!!" Conley shouted hastily.

The Grizzlies deserve to be the top defensive team in the league. Although Conley was passed, the insider Gasol immediately pulled out from the inside and made up the defense. At the same time, the backup guard Andrew Harrison and the cumbersome Lando The husband also took a step and rushed over.

To pinch!
"Be careful, Xu Xuan!" Ke Fan shouted anxiously.

From his point of view, it is true that Xu Xuan's passing of Mike Conley was amazing, but the Grizzlies' subsequent defense was also amazing!
Not only that, they also completed the flanking position in the limited time. As long as Xu Xuan dares to go up, there is a high probability that he will get a block!
But is Xu Xuan stupid?

In other words, the Grizzlies are right to have such a reaction!

In the next second, Randolph saw Xu Xuan, who had almost reached the free throw line and was about to enter the encirclement. Suddenly, he made a sudden change of direction.
"Snapped!"

Randolph's huge body was directly knocked down by Xu Xuan!
A crack appeared in the perfect encirclement of the Grizzly in an instant!
"Oops!" Little Gasol's heart was full of alarm bells. Randolph's state has declined sharply in the past two years, as long as he is too fat.

He was so fat that not only his moving speed slowed down, but also his footsteps, reaction, and acuity around the basket were all declining. Xu Xuan was aiming for someone to make a move, and Randolph almost fell in response without even resisting. land!

It's so frank!

But when Randolph fell like this, the pincer circle disappeared in an instant!

It must be remedied!
Thinking of this, Gasol's body immediately moved, and he rushed towards Randolph.

From his point of view, after shaking off Randolph, Xu Xuan had already locked the road behind him to death, and he couldn't move even if he wanted to! ! !
That is the fatal blow!
"Xu, your end is here!!!"

Little Gasol roared and rushed forward.

"My end is here?" Xu Xuan looked at Gasol, who was rushing forward fiercely, and suddenly smiled. Gasol saw that Xu Xuan in front of him suddenly slammed on the brakes and stood still.

Just when everyone was thinking about what Xu Xuan would do next, Xu Xuan threw the ball behind his body.

"Russell, vote!" Xu Xuan didn't even look back, as if he knew that Russell would appear in that position.

Russell, who just ran over, was shocked when he heard Xu Xuan's shout, and then saw a super fast pass, which was passed directly from the front side.

Russell took it all at once, there was a big open opportunity, and there was no time to adjust——

"Shh!"

Get started!

Three point hit!

"BEAUTIFUL! MAN!!!!"

"nice shot!!!"

The Lakers' bench boiled instantly!

Ci Shiping's towel was about to fly away!
"Amazing! This ball is really amazing!!!" Ke Fan gave a thumbs up, looked at Xu Xuan who had slapped Russell on the field, and praised: "Xu Xuan's pass is really good! Not to mention passing Mike Conley and Zach Randolph by himself, but also attracting 90% of the Grizzlies' attention, if Russell misses this ball, I feel a little sorry for Xu Xuan."

Ke Fan said he was happy.

"Indeed, luckily the goal was scored. If it didn't, then Russell would be really sorry for Xu Xuan who worked so hard." Yang Yi also said.

This isn't putting pressure on Russell, that's what it is.

Besides, if you don't play with pressure, it won't work!
Just the right amount of pressure.

The game continues.

Xu Xuan's magical pass directly ignited the momentum of the Lakers.

79 is better than 74!

The point difference was recovered to 5 points!
The Grizzlies are down.

Mike Conley advanced very slowly, and the Grizzlies tried to use this method to counter the Lakers' fast play.

frontcourt.

Conley and Gasol's pick-and-roll.

Gasol didn't take advantage of the opportunity to pull the ball to the middle distance. After the pick-and-roll was over, he cut directly to the basket. Conley passed the ball in time. A small throw, directly into the ball!
81 is better than 74!
