The strongest basket king

Chapter 50
Xiang Chu signed a second endorsement contract, a certain brand of milk in Huaguo, with a price of $50 for two years.

He needed to help the other party shoot a commercial. On the rest day of the game, the shooting team went directly to Los Angeles, which was quite convenient.

Xiang Chu thought sullenly beforehand whether there would be beautiful female stars with her.

Facts have proved that he thought too much, and shooting commercials is also very simple. He only needs to cooperate with the opponent to take a group of handsome photos, and then make some cool moves on the court.

He doesn't need to worry about which photos to use and which shots to use.

In the end, he said three lines of commercials, and only one sentence will appear after the film is completed. This is an advertisement broadcast in Huaguo. It is not easy for the other party to come to find him, so he took more shots and got it all done at once.

On February 2, the Blazers came to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers.

The Trail Blazers started off well this season, but now their record is getting worse and worse.

For a change, they put young forward Nicolas Batum on the starting lineup.

In the game, the Trail Blazers won with a jump ball. They announced their arrival with a three-pointer, but then they fell into a scoring drought. The Lakers actually achieved a 20+ lead in the first quarter because the opponent only scored 7 points.

Except for Raymond Felton's three-pointer to start, only Aldridge scored four points.

In this case, Xiang Chu and other rotation players only need to maintain the team's lead.

The Blazers' backup insider is... oh, the Blazers are going to use a small lineup to chase points, really slackening him, it's simply not taking him seriously.

Xiang Chu decided to teach the opponent a lesson, that is, rebound suppression.

Although he will go all out no matter what, but if the opponent does not have a high point inside, he will never leave any rebounds to them.

The Blazers tasted the bitter fruit for their choice. In addition to Xiang Chu's rebounds, Blake's touch is also good, and they once extended their lead to 30 points.

But that's it. The Blazers' main lineup played better in the second quarter.

Batum played well and proved his worth.

However, the Lakers have a huge advantage in front of them, and they still led by 20+ at halftime.

The Lakers are not an inexperienced team. It is reasonable to say that the ball has been stabilized. As long as the rhythm is controlled in the second half, it will be difficult for the opponent to come back.

The Blazers' current strategy is obvious, which is to bet on three points.

The Blazers have shot a lot of three-pointers this season, but their shooting percentage is only average.

As long as the Lakers have targeted defense, they should be able to prevent it, but the Lakers' unstable performance this season is because there are always accidents.

Knowing that the opponent would shoot a three-pointer, the Blazers still made seven three-pointers in a single quarter. Although Kobe showed a strong scoring ability, the Blazers still chased the score to about 7 points.

The opponent's crazy three-point shot definitely has no chance for Xiang Chu to perform. Even in order to defend the outside line, his playing time is compressed. They are clearly ahead, and it is enough to directly blow the opponent inside. Why fight the outside line that the opponent is not good at.

The Lakers want to fight outside, in fact, Kobe singled out a group of opponents.

The Lakers are too short of outside ball-holding points, and Artest's long-range shots have degraded seriously this season.

If you don't pay attention to maintaining it in the summer when you are old, you will become like this.

However, this game was still without danger. At the end of the quarter, the Blazers' outside shooting percentage dropped by itself. After all, such things as betting on three-pointers can only break out in a short period of time.

Without enough restraint from Aldridge, the Blazers' three-pointer is like a mirror, after all, this is not their strongest mode.

The Blazers always couldn't cross the threshold of 10 points, and this situation continued until the end of the game.

They were really a little scary when they hit the three-point streak, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

Before the All-Star weekend, the Lakers still have a back-to-back away game, but in the West.

Both opponents are not weak, which also determines how they will enter the second half with what kind of mood.

The Lakers are actually still in the top eight in the Western Conference, but they didn't make it to the top four, which didn't meet their expectations.

The Mavericks are just ahead of the Lakers, which is fourth in the West.

The place the Lakers are going now is Dallas, and then they will face the No. [-] Thunder in the West.

On social media, fans have already left messages saying that Yi Jianlian has a chance to play in the Mavericks during this period, and the regrets of last time may be made up for this time.

The Mavericks' starting lineup has also changed. After Delonte West was injured, they took advantage of the opportunity to let Carter start. In fact, the effect is better than before. After all, Jason Terry is enough to have a guard on the bench.

The Mavericks expected Odom to play worse and worse, and all the statistics were career lows.

The fans who scolded the Lakers for trading Odom at the beginning have subsided during this period of time. Odom's current state seems to have made a good deal.

Odom is also a guy who likes to have fun outside, probably because he didn't maintain his form well in the summer, and nowitzki, the boss of the Mavericks, is not so aggressive, so this buddy probably indulged himself.

This is the reason why Yi Jianlian got the chance. Odom is dead, and the Mavericks urgently need to find other replacements.

This summer, because of the lockout, many teams' transactions were not ideal. Now it seems that the lockout not only caused them to lose money, but also affected the team's plans.

At the American Airlines Center, the Lakers and Mavericks face off again, and their collision has also received a lot of attention.

From the very beginning, the Lakers' inside line gained a great advantage. Gasol felt hot, and he was not afraid of Nowitzki's technical inside line.

As for the core of both sides, Kobe and Nowitzki didn't feel good at the beginning.

Xiang Chu and Yi Jianlian appeared on the field at the same time, but they did not match up. Yi Jianlian is not the type to fight inside.

Of course, they can still touch each other for rebounding. Obviously, Xiang Chu has to win in this regard.

In the first quarter, under the strength of Gasol scoring in double figures in a single quarter, the Lakers led by 4 points.

The Mavericks didn't fall behind much when Nowitzki didn't score because Carter also scored in double figures.

I have to admit that Kobe's defensive efficiency has declined.

By the second quarter, Nowitzki has quickly recovered his touch, while Kobe's skills are still in the reading.

The main players of the Lakers did not perform well in this quarter, and the Mavericks recovered the score.

Fortunately, the Mavericks are not strong inside, otherwise, if no one in the rotation can beat Jason Terry, the Lakers will inevitably be overtaken.

In fact, the Lakers have already made some arrangements before the game. Kobe's touch is uncontrollable, Carter's explosion was unexpected, and the second half must be targeted defense.

Compared with the X factor like Carter, Nowitzki and Jason Terry are the most troublesome for the Mavericks. The Lakers' defensive strategy in the first half must not be easily changed.
