Chapter 94 Fighting with Artest
23:25
The Lakers led the Rockets by two points after Brown dunked.

The Rockets also called a timeout in a very appropriate situation, and then replaced the second team, and Xia Tian led the team to continue the game.

The game continued, the Rockets served, and Lowry slowly advanced with the ball. After halftime, Xia Tian ran over and took the initiative to pick and roll. After a pick and roll, Xia Tian ran towards the bottom corner.

Lowry used the pick-and-roll to lead Artest to break through to the inside. When he reached the free throw line, Lowry was forced to stop, holding the ball with both hands and blocking Artest's draw with his butt.

"Hassan! Catch the ball!" Lowry roared and then made a fake pass.

And Artest was obviously deceived by Lowry's shouts, and ran towards the inside to prepare for the defense, but Lowry chose to shoot the moment Artest left.

25:25
The score was tied.

The Lakers attacked, and the Rockets quickly returned to defense after switching from offense to defense. Odom took the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Brown who was about to play after Brown's pick-and-roll.

Brown broke through with the ball, and Hayes slammed in front of him. In the end, Brown had no way to get inside and had to pass the ball to Odom for him to reorganize.

But as soon as the ball reached Odom's hands, Odom passed it out again. It turned out that Artest cut in, and the ball came to Artest's hands. Artest did not hesitate. A layup.

Facing Hassan, Artest successfully put the basketball into the basket. At this time, Xia Tian took a good look at Odom. This ball is really passed beautifully.

27:25
Xia Tian asked Lowry for a basketball after halftime, and Artest posted it right away.

"Why are you sticking to me so tightly, Artest, are you gay?" Xia Tian said as he pushed Artest up with his butt.

"Rookie! What are you talking about! Believe it or not, I'll take your head off and use it as a toilet!" Artest replied unhappily.

But Xia Tian laughed, looking at Artest, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, "Artest, do you think you can fight better than Griffin? Or can you resist beating better than him?"

"You!" Artest stopped talking.

After all, Artest also watched the last game, and he was a little surprised by Xia Tian's fighting power. Although he had a fight in the Palace of Auburn Hills back then, he was still young at that time.

He is not so young now, and Artest's temper has gradually become smaller with age, but simply speaking, Artest is not sure, if he really can't beat Xia Tian in a fight, wouldn't it be embarrassing .

Xia Tian couldn't help but feel complacent when he saw that Artest didn't speak, and asked if what he was doing now was bullying the old bird?Still a thirty-year-old bird.

Facing Artest, Xia Tian first took a tentative step, but Artest was unmoved by it, so Xia Tian's eyes lit up all of a sudden, a breakthrough!

Without any hesitation, Xia Tian pushed Artest slightly with his hand and broke through directly, but before Xia Tian broke through to the free throw line, the whistle sounded.

Xia Tian glanced at the referee in a dazed way, as if he didn't understand why, but when he saw Artest fell to the ground, he seemed to understand instantly.

"This is a flop! A flop!" Xia Tian threw the basketball and found the referee and began to complain.

But the referee still didn't pay attention to him, and at this time the top of Spruce's arena also began to defend the scene just now, but it's okay not to look at it, just looking at Xia Tian will make him angry!
Artest's acting skills are too exaggerated!I just pushed him gently!He actually slipped a few meters away!You must have studied under James!
The game restarted, the Lakers had the ball, and Artest came to a 45-degree angle and began to ask Odom for a basketball. Odom glanced around slightly and found that there was no good opportunity, so he had to pass it to Ah. Tester.

"Rookie, you are really immature. When it comes to small moves, you really should learn. Don't you know the referee's position? Sure enough, a rookie is still a rookie." Artest said mockingly to Xia Tian.

"Coward, confront the guy who can fall down as soon as he is pushed. If you didn't have teammates when you fought at Auburn Hills Palace, you might have been beaten to death!" Xia Tian replied to Artest unhappily.

But Artest was not angry but laughed instead, "Rookie, you can only fight with me with your mouth, I will score this goal, you believe it!"

"Then try it!"

After Xia Tian finished speaking, he lowered his center of gravity and prepared to defend Artest's breakthrough. As for shooting, Xia Tian didn't think much about defending. After all, Artest's three-point shooting percentage is only 35.6%.

Although it is very high, it is basically an open shot, so Xia Tian is not so worried that Artest will give him color at the three-point line.

Artest took a tentative step with the ball in both hands, and Xia Tian couldn't help but retreat a bit when he saw his movements, but then Artest didn't break through!The moment Artest took back the tentative step, he actually shot from outside the three-point line!

"Fuck! How dare you shoot!" Xia Tian quickly jumped up and wanted to block Artest's shot, but it was still a step too late. Artest's shot was hit steadily without anyone interfering.

30:25
"Fuck!" Xia Tian couldn't help cursing as he looked at the basketball playing on the net.

"Rookie, if you say I can enter, I will definitely enter. Now I believe it, how naive." Artest said proudly.

"Don't be too happy! You wait for me for the next ball!" Xia Tian said viciously.

On the other hand, Artest put on an expression that doesn't matter, whatever you want, Xia Tian has lost his mind completely this time, this is the first time that Xia Tian has lost his mind because of being provoked in a game.

After halftime, Xia Tian asked Lowry for a basketball again, and then the dazzling dribble appeared in the game again, although facing Kobe Xia Tian did not dare to dribble in a fancy way.

But Artest is different. Although this guy defends well, his defense relies more on his attitude and body, so his stealing ability is slightly weaker.

After a series of rhythmic dribbles, Xia Tian suddenly dribbled twice under the crotch, and then used a step back. It was Harden's signature step back to shoot!

About one meter away from the three-point line, Xia Tian threw the basketball without hesitation, but just after the basketball left Xia Tian's hand, the thick black arm covered it from Xia Tian's left.

"Snapped."

The basketball was directly blocked out of bounds by Odom, Xia Tian finally calmed down at this time, why didn't he just observe the situation before shooting!I was really stunned!

Xia Tian looked at Artest and couldn't help but glared viciously. After he calmed down, Xia Tian seemed to understand why Artest was looking for Odom just now. It turned out to be to help him defend himself.

It seems that Artest has already guessed that he is going to do it alone, but fortunately, the ball was blocked out of bounds, and the slightest hint is that the Rockets still have a chance to attack.

Xia Tian took the initiative to stand out of bounds, but the ball in the referee's hand pointed a finger at Hassan, and Hassan nodded to Xia Tian after seeing it.

Then Hassan started to run wildly. Among them, Battier and Lowry also made two consecutive pick-and-rolls for Hassan, and Hassan ran into the inside in three seconds.

Seeing this, Xia Tian's eyes lit up and he threw the ball towards the basket. Hassan watched the ball flying towards him and took off vertically. After catching the ball, he threw it hard towards the basket.

"Cool! This match is really flawless! After the double pick-and-roll, the defensive player in front of Hassan directly became Luke Walton! Then relying on the advantages of height and jumping, he made an alley-oop directly on Walton's head. Cool!" Barkley exclaimed excitedly.

"Wow ha ha ha! Watch the replay! Wharton's small eyes made me laugh! Maybe at this moment he is wondering where I am and who I am!" Smith laughed even more while covering his stomach after watching the replay stand up.

On the other hand, Barkley heard Smith laughing and watched the replay, and then two fat people laughing wildly appeared in TNT's live broadcast room.
