Chapter 325 Leaving Heaven
Tatum was taken aback when he heard the words. Rondo didn't teach him any specific defensive skills because of yesterday's incident. He just asked him to concentrate and show his due attitude when defending. There are only two points That's all.

Still, that just happens to be the best way to prove his own defensive prowess.

He nodded happily and said, "Okay, I will work hard."

Walton said again: "Kobe, you rest first, Tianyang will return to shooting guard, and Rose will play to organize."

The arrangement was completed, just as the timeout ended, the game between the two teams continued, and the Lakers attacked.

Rose took the ball to the right wing, passed it to Tatum at the top of the arc, and then went down to cover Tianyang.

Tianyang rushed to 45 degrees from the short corner on the right, received the pass back, and put on a triple threat posture.

At the same time, Rose slipped the bottom line and ran back, taking Booker away.

The right half was empty, Tianyang dribbled the ball away from Bledsoe, and went inside with one step.

Emergency stop, ball collection, jump shot, all in one go, Bledsoe doesn't seem to exist.

With 2 points hit, the Lakers finally scored, which can be regarded as stopping the decline.

Suns offense, after a timeout, the state of excitement dropped significantly.

Bledsoe dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, Cousins ​​stepped forward to make a pick-and-roll, and Bender ran inside at the same time.

One inside and one outside, it looked dazzled, but Tatum followed Bender and never left.

After the pick-and-roll, Bledsoe dribbled the ball to the right, and Lopez moved his huge body to catch up, obviously struggling.

Bledsoe naturally discovered this, and immediately speeded up his dribble, cutting into the inside line from a 45-degree position.

At this time, the Lakers only have Tatum under the basket. He must make a choice between supplementary defense and man-marking.

Relying on instinct, Tatum moved laterally to supplement the defense, squatted down outside the reasonable collision zone, and stood in a fixed position.

Before Simmons entered the NBA, Bledsoe was also known as Little James. When he saw a thin Tatum standing in front of him, he turned a blind eye and chose to force a layup.

Collecting the ball, taking off, Bledsoe flew to the hoop with the ball, skilled and coordinated.

Twisting and jumping, Tatum raised his hand to cover the basketball, unfamiliar and stiff.

But after all, the height of the small forward and even the power forward is a great threat to the height that is considered short among point guards.

Bledsoe didn't dare to hit the head, and chose to throw the ball to Bender not far away.

Seeing this situation, the two commentators on the sidelines shouted excitedly.

"Score 7 points in a row?" "Bender, this is for you!"

But Bender was relatively calm, and still had the same rhythm as the previous three-pointer. He hesitated for a second before choosing to shoot, but this time he was very happy because he was very close to the frame and had a very high chance of scoring.

But he forgot that Tatum was also beside him, only to hear a "snap" and the basketball was blown away.

Under the pressure, the basketball jumped to the left wing in a blink of an eye, Ingram grabbed it in his hands, and the Lakers made a fast break.

Tianyang didn't care about anything, and rushed forward, until the three-point line, before stopping to look back.

Sure enough, in the confrontation between Ingram and Josh, in order to ensure the success rate, he chose to pass the ball.

Tianyang received the ball, but didn't shoot immediately, which made Booker catch up to defend. The players on the Lakers bench didn't understand why he was hesitating.

But Ingram understood, and immediately ran back to the top of the arc, received a pass from him and went inside.

This time, it was useless for Josh to catch up.

Because the three-point line area is already within the scoring range of Ingram, whether it is a layup or a shot.

Taking two steps in a row, relying on the advantage of the long arm, Ingram took a step inside the free throw line, gliding and throwing.

Hit!The Lakers are 8 to 12, with only 4 points left.

Feeling bad, the Suns fans started clapping and chanting 'Beat LA' in unison.

Bledsoe took the ball to the front court and handed it to Josh Dan for singles.

In the last round, Josh locked Ingram and was finally forced to pass the ball. The scene was very ugly. This time he was determined to prove himself and waved his hand to reject Bender's cover.

Continuously dribbling the ball under the crotch, and then taking a strong step to the right, Josh rushed to the elbow area and stopped to shoot.

Ingram jumped up and reached out from the left to block the shot.

One is 203cm, the other is 206cm and has long arms. In addition, Josh didn't draw too much distance, and there was another 'snap', and the basketball flew upside down and rolled towards the center line.

Rose and Bledsoe started at the same time, the two collided, and neither of them grabbed it.

The basketball rolled to the right, and after some fighting, Tianyang caught the ball in his hand.

After taking the ball to the left wing, Tianyang used Tatum to cover and went straight to the inside.

It doesn't matter if Bender can't catch up. The slow speed of the big man is understandable, but he didn't even reach out. It can be said that he completely let it go, which made the fans frown.

Seeing that no one was chasing and defending, and there was no one blocking in front, Tianyang stopped steadily and made a mid-range shot.

Another 2-point hit, the Lakers scored 6 points in a row, and the point difference became smaller and smaller.

The two commentators on the sidelines began to worry.

"Continuing to play like this is dangerous. The Lakers are on the rise. Josh, Booker, and Cousins ​​should stand up."

"And Bender, he shot too late before, and his defense was even worse this time. Leaving aside his ability, his attitude is far from that of the opposing Tatum. Others made up defenses one after another, and he was completely empty."

Generally speaking, very few team commentators will publicly criticize their own players.

However, Bender's performance in two consecutive rounds was a disaster. The commentator really hated iron and steel. Fortunately, he thought he was about to prove himself before.

In the anxious eyes of the fans at the scene, the Suns launched an attack again.

Bledsoe dribbles to the top of the key, pausing to observe the situation.

Josh seems to stop taking the initiative to ask for the ball because of continuous deflation; Bender would never consider it if he had to; Cousins ​​is still competing with Lopez and can't pass in at all; only Booker can handle the ball, or himself Come.

In about 3 seconds, Bledsoe made a decision and beckoned Bender to come up and do a pick-and-roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Bledsoe got inside in the pinch between Tatum and Rose.

Although there is a pick-and-roll, strictly speaking, Tatum missed someone.

Tianyang saw it in his eyes and was very much looking forward to what would happen next.

I saw Tatum stunned for a moment, and within half a second, he ran after him.

He followed Bledsoe up and down the jump, reaching out to block the shot with all his might.

Bledsoe scored 2 points without blocking the shot, but Tianyang was very satisfied, at least he did what he said, and took his time later.

Score again and let the Sun fans regain their confidence. When Rose dribbled the ball forward, the audience chanted 'defense'.

But the shouting lasted less than three seconds. Ross passed to Tianyang, and Tianyang then passed to Tatum, who was running back and making an air cut.

Small-scale boos sounded at the scene, and the fans really booed this time.

Suns coach Watson had an ugly expression on his face, and after the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched continuously, he called a timeout to the referee.

The Suns returned to the bench, and Watson began to criticize Bender mercilessly.

But Bender seems to be used to it, but Cousins ​​is even more sad.

What is he sad about?Sad from the beginning to the present, only one shot!
This is far from his original request, and this group of guys, it's not like Tianyang would consider his feelings at all!

He felt that what he might leave was heaven.

　In fact, I have always been reluctant to write deals that do not conform to the real NBA. I always feel that reading it is a drama.

　　But without writing, there is no sense of conflict, and it is difficult to create expectations, which is very contradictory.
