Chapter 136 Jordan's face
Tianyang knows very well that it is impossible to compare his body with a monster like Westbrook, and it is impossible to compare his body in this life. The other Lakers players are not very good at joint defense. I feel that only relying on IQ alone to defend The way Westbrook scored was restricted.

After confirming that he got the ball, Tianyang patted his butt and got up, Westbrook gave him a glare.He didn't care, and walked to the sideline with a smile, waiting for the serve.Robertson was about to go up to defend, but was pulled away.

The angry Westbrook wants to lead the defense in person!

The referee blew the whistle, McGee passed the ball hand-to-hand, Tianyang caught the ball and turned around, facing Westbrook's defense.

At this time, the two are in the junction area between the center line of the backcourt and the left sideline.

After McGee served the ball, he wanted to enter the court to do a pick-and-roll, but Tianyang waved his hand to signal no, and raised his index finger, indicating that he wanted to challenge Westbrook one-on-one.McGee left immediately, Tianyang slowly dribbled the ball to the right, Westbrook also moved slowly to follow.

Walking to the middle circle, Tianyang suddenly accelerated and sprinted, and Westbrook took a step back in an instant.

But Tianyang didn't continue to rush, but raised his arms and threw the ball vigorously towards the right wing of the frontcourt.Ingram received the basketball, dribbled two steps inside, and took off to make a mid-range shot.

Like Westbrook, most of the fans are a little confused. What did they say heads-up?How did you pass the ball?
Jordan on the sidelines smiled instead, "This kid is a bit interesting."

Phil Knight shook his head, "It's easy to lose followers if he does it like this."

"He is irritating Westbrook, as long as he wins the game, he will only gain more fans."

Sure enough, Jordan's words were verified in a blink of an eye, and the angry Westbrook scored five goals in a row.

Although they all went in, the rest of Thunder didn't make a single move.Waiting until the first commercial came back from a timeout, and the game played for another 2 minutes, Westbrook passed a big open space that Oladipo ran out of.

After the first quarter, Westbrook scored 10 points on 7 of 16 shots.But the Thunder team only scored 24 points in total, 5 points behind the Lakers, and there were 4 unforced errors, all caused by not holding the ball for a long time.

After the start of the second quarter, the Thunder made adjustments, but Tianyang suddenly stopped frantically defending Westbrook, and instead focused on Oladipo.

Under his defense, Oladipo hit 4 of the first 3 goals, and it was pure luck to hit that one.

In addition, Ingram and Randall also defended Robertson and Sabonis well, forcing Westbrook to either force Clarkson to shoot himself, or force Clarkson to feed Adams.

In any case, Westbrook has to deal with Clarkson first.

The two fought for a whole quarter of the game. Clarkson got 3 defensive fouls for pulling, thugs, and blocking, and Westbrook got an offensive foul and a T for raising his elbow and pushing people.

After halftime, the Lakers still lead the Thunder by 5 points.

After the start of the second half, the defensive strategy of the Lakers remained unchanged in other positions. On the point guard, Wharton sent Clarkson, Calderon, Anthony Brown, Marcelo Huertas to consume Westbrook in turn.

Westbrook, who rested for 15 minutes, had sufficient physical strength and fought with the four of them without fear. In addition to the poor performance of the rest of the Thunder, he made a total of 10 shots in the third quarter.

Tired is a bit tired, but he managed to lead the Thunder to tie the score.

In the fourth quarter, Tianyang changed his strategy and started a strong attack, while Westbrook started to pass the ball due to physical problems.

In the first 6 minutes, Tianyang made a breakthrough and scored 8 goals in a row together with Ingram and Randall; while the Thunder had difficulty scoring a goal because of the cold hand.

In the next 5 minutes, Westbrook insisted on the passing strategy, and finally helped Robertson, Kanter, and Singler open their hands. The three of them made 12 of 9 shots. At the same time, they also locked up all other Lakers players except Tianyang. The point difference was reduced to 2 points.

In the last minute, the physical exhaustion of the two teams was very serious, and the offense and defense of the two teams turned into pecking each other.

Especially Westbrook, in the case of Tianyang's dribble error, he grabbed the basketball and made a fast break, but failed to make an empty basket.

In the end, Westbrook scored a luxurious triple-double of 33 points, 16 and 12 rebounds, but the Lakers won the game 113-111 and won a three-game winning streak. At the same time, Tianyang scored 26 points and 8 assists.

At the post-match press conference, Walton said that it was a difficult game against the Thunder. Apart from good luck, the reason for the Lakers' victory may also be the reason why Tianyang controlled the rhythm of the game.What he said was a bit vague, but anyone who has watched the game knows that Wharton's squatting refers to Tianyang's strategic suppression of Westbrook.

Because of the Lakers' three-game schedule, the team's original arrangement was to go directly to the airport after the game.

But Adidas CEO Casper, Anderma founder Kevin Plank, Reebok president O'Toole, and even Jordan wanted to see Tianyang first.

Walton said that a special case can be made. The whole team will stay in the hotel for one night first, and the Lakers players are willing to wait.

But Tianyang unexpectedly declined the request of the four companies to meet. The reason was that he could not delay the team's schedule. If he wanted to meet, he could provide two days for the four companies when the Lakers returned to Los Angeles.

Casper, Plank, and O'Toole all expressed their understanding, but Jordan walked away on the spot.

The meeting failed, and the entire Lakers boarded a plane to Indiana.

On the plane, several rookies in Ingram admired Tianyang's behavior of not seeing Jordan, but Ci Shiping and several veterans thought that Tianyang's dress was bigger than a dress, and they would easily attract negative comments if they didn't give Jordan face.

After arriving in Indiana, news of Tianyang playing big names really began to appear.

Since it involves Jordan, the god of basketball, and it is not one of Jordan's few black spots such as the draft, the fans' opinions are one-sided. Even the Lakers fans think that Tianyang is a bit too much.

There was a lot of discussion on social networks, but Tianyang was not affected in any way.

In the game against the Pacers, he played back and forth with Paul George, but because Paul George perfectly fits the characteristics of being tall, strong and fast, most of him must come from post-up singles.In the last 20 seconds, he and Paul George hit ultra-long 3-pointers successively, dragging the game into overtime.

In overtime, the Lakers relied on Walton's 2 consecutive key ball tactics to win the game by 1 point.

After defeating the Pacers, the Lakers won four consecutive victories.

Such a record far exceeds the expectations of most fans and the media, and people's criticism of Tianyang has gradually disappeared, because in the four games of his career, he averaged 25 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds per game.

Just when the Lakers fans were discussing whether Tianyang could fulfill its promise to lead the team back to the playoffs, the Lakers lost 18 points in the game against the Eagles.

The reason for the loss is simple. The Lakers had 2 games in 2 days, plus an overtime game. The whole team was severely lacking in physical strength, while the Eagles waited for work. Howard and Millsap guarded the inside, and Bazemore and Schroder desperately defended. Tianyang, plus Korver throwing three-pointers from time to time, destroyed the Lakers in three quarters.

On the morning of November 11th, the entire Lakers team returned to Los Angeles, and Walton gave the players a vacation to recharge their batteries and face the upcoming formidable enemy - Cosmic Courage after reinforcing Durant!

Negotiations between SkyOcean and four sneaker manufacturers have officially started.

Aaron arranged for Tianyang to meet in the order of Nike – Adidas – Under Armor – Reebok.

At noon on the 4th, Tianyang took Farage into the special car arranged by Nike.The meeting between the two parties will be held at Nike's Los Angeles headquarters.In order to meet successfully, Nike invited Jordan.

Originally, Jordan said he would not come because no one dared to shame him, but Phil Knight promised to give him an extra 2% of the profit as long as he signed SkyOcean, and he agreed to attend the meeting without even thinking about it.

In addition, Nike also invited Kobe, hoping to increase the bargaining chip for the success of the signing through the relationship of the Lakers celebrity.

In addition, Nike also invited LeBron, Durant, Paul George, Irving, Anthony Davis, and Elena Bean to record a video to recruit Tianyang.

After the announcement of the luxurious recruiting team information, the social network exploded.

The fans commented one after another: Tianyang's cards are too big, even Jordan doesn't want to lose face.

　I have a bad stomach. . . .no more
