Chapter 352 I See You Like To Make Up Defenses?
Tianyang has long planned how to pay tribute to these five legendary shooting guards.

Iverson made a crossover, McGrady made a pull-up shot, and Carter made a dunk with a big windmill. Kobe thought the same as him, and it was indeed a double-team shot. As for Jordan, Tianyang was going to switch hands in the air for a layup.

The first two were successfully completed, but the latter three were a bit more difficult, and we still need to wait for the opportunity.

The 76ers attacked, Simmons took the ball to the right wing, and Rondo still took a step.

Embiid stepped forward to do a behind-the-back pick-and-roll, Simmons walked to the middle, and passed the ball hand-to-hand.

Simmons' shooting is poor, but with his excellent physical fitness and dribbling skills, his ability to finish at the basket is very good, otherwise it would be difficult to become the No. 16 pick in [-].

McGee chased after him, and Embiid singled Rondo on the right wing.

Swish, 2 points hit.

McGee retreated to the bottom line to serve, and Rondo took the ball to the frontcourt and walked to the right wing, ready to make another shot, but Simmons learned from him to take a step away and played a strategy of throwing shots and not letting go.

Rondo smiled, and immediately collected the ball and shot, but embarrassingly, he hit the iron.

Covington got the rebound and passed it to Fultz. Simmons made a fast move at the same time, and the 76ers started a fast break.

Ingram, Rondo, and Tianyang went hand in hand, each marking and chasing, but Rondo was relatively slow, and the 76ers trio passed back and forth in the frontcourt, instantly forming an advantage of playing more and less, and finally Fultz slipped to the basket Score.

Easy side Lakers attack again, Rondo dribbled the ball to the right wing, Simmons continued to take a step.

Rondo didn't have a header, passed the ball to Kuzma at the top of the arc, and then took advantage of the opportunity to cover for Tianyang.

I once thought that Simmons had been prepared for a long time. With his physical and speed advantages, he blocked Rondo's way forward. Tianyang could only speed up and run back, rushing to the three-point line to receive a pass from Kuzma.

As soon as he got the ball, Fultz chased after him, and Simmons also suddenly killed a carbine.

Seeing the formation of a double team, Kuzma hurriedly retreated to the center line to respond, and Tianyang gave the ball again.

At the same time, Rondo, who was unattended, strode to the basket, and Kuzma hit the ground with a long pass.

Embiid moved laterally from the left low position to defend, McGee stepped to the free throw line, Rondo hesitated a little, then accelerated to the basket, pretended to shoot and then gave McGee.

But Embiid was not deceived, but just raised his hand symbolically to interfere. Seeing Rondo pass the ball, he immediately turned and jumped, just in time to block McGee who was about to put the ball into the basket.

The basketball rolled to the free throw line, Covington and Ingram scrambled together, and neither of them succeeded.The basketball continued to roll towards the top of the arc, and Saric happened to be standing there, but Rondo reacted quickly enough, and the two also grabbed together.

It also failed to succeed, but Simmons stuck Tianyang, and Fultz picked up the basketball from the side and made a fast break.

Kuzma chased very hard, but couldn't catch up after reaching the three-pointer, and Fultz scored an empty basket.

6 to 5, the 76ers overtook and failed to score in two consecutive rounds. The Lakers were a little injured.

McGrady: "It seems that the god of luck is not on the Lakers' side tonight. In the past, the Lakers succeeded in stealing the ball."

Pierce shook his head: "It's a pity that Ron's explosive power has been severely reduced after his injury."

Iverson nodded: "I can't say that completely. Embiid's defense played a big role."

Bryant: "Don't worry, we've thought about this a long time ago."

Carter: "Yes, there is no need to pause, Wharton can solve it with a gesture."

Jordan: "The tactical communication is so fast now? Why isn't our team like this?"

The Lakers attacked, Rondo dribbled the ball forward, and Walton really made two gestures.

Rondo nodded, rushed to the right wing to hold the ball and waited, Tianyang ran up, and the two cooperated hand in hand.

With the help of cover, Tianyang rushed into the inside line in one step, and Fultz raised his right hand to catch up.

Tianyang made an emergency stop at the free throw line and made a shot, tricking Fultz into flying to block the shot.

Seeing that his teammate was cheated, Embiid stepped forward to defend, not only raised his right hand high, but also stomped his feet and yelled to interfere, but Tianyang didn't pay attention at all, still made a mid-range shot and easily scored 2 points.

Embiid shook his head and retreated to the bottom line to serve. Simmons took it to the top of the arc, signaling to pull away, and wanted to single Rondo.

But the head coach of the 76ers, Brown, waved repeatedly to stop him, and Simmons had no choice but to beckon for a pick-and-roll.

Embiid came up, a back screen blocked Rondo, and Simmons sprinted immediately.

Rondo immediately moved laterally to catch up, but was tripped by Embiid, and Tianyang immediately rushed to the referee to signal an illegal cover.

But the referee didn't blow it, and Simmons went inside, leaning on McGee for a backhand layup.

Tianyang communicated with the line referee while running to the front field, but the line referee still ignored him and said impatiently that if he continued to pester him, he would be given a technical foul. Fortunately, the replay began on the big screen in the center of the court.

According to the replay, Embiid made a screen when Rondo's vision was completely in the blind spot, but did not leave Rondo with at least one step of space, which is a typical illegal screen.

This kind of thing is what the Warriors like to do the most. Unexpectedly, Embiid, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, also learned badly.

After watching the replay, Staples hissed.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd, Rondo handed the ball to Tianyang, indicating that they would be singled out.

At this moment, as long as a score is scored, the team's momentum will definitely skyrocket.

Tianyang naturally understood, he stood at 45 degrees, raised his left hand to signal to pull away, and the fans stood up and cheered.

Simmons, as if he was facing a big enemy, quickly bent his legs and arched his back, and assumed a standard single-defense posture.

That once thought, as soon as the posture was posed, Tianyang accelerated sideways, like an F1 car starting, completed a breakthrough with a 'swish', and easily reached the free throw line.

Embiid hurriedly moved laterally from the low position on the left to make up the defense, but he never expected that Tianyang took two steps directly from the free throw line.

Seeing this, Embiid took off and blocked the shot without hesitation. He believed that he was strong enough to stop it.

But according to Newton's second law F=Ma, the faster the acceleration process of an object with fixed mass, the greater the force will be. Tianyang needs speed to have speed and mass to have mass, so the force is quite large.

The audience first saw Tianyang knocking Embiid over, and then heard a 'bang'.

Tianyang dunks Embiid!Nearly [-] Staples fans instantly went crazy!

Tianyang fell to the ground, turned around and beat Carter, waving his hands and beating his chest. Carter stood up and applauded.

"I think you like to make up defenses? Don't do that next time." Tianyang turned around and spat trash talk at Embiid, but he was also angry that he didn't blow up the illegal cover just now.

Embiid smiled, did not respond, and went straight to the bottom line to serve.

Simmons took the ball to the top of the arc, Embiid stepped forward to pick and roll, and Rondo circled out early to delay.

Simmons scored the ball decisively, Embiid caught the ball and went down, ignoring McGee's defense, took three steps in a row, and scored a dunk.

The referee blew his whistle and the game entered an official timeout.

The 76ers are on the bench, and all the players are surrounded by Coach Brown.

"I have already seen that the Lakers will focus on Tianyang in this game. Rondo didn't shoot, and McGee is not a threat on the outside. We can do more double-teams and force Tianyang to give the ball to Ingram and Or Kuzma, so we can be sure of winning. Offensively, we continue to focus on pick-and-roll breakthroughs."

On the Lakers bench, Walton picked up the tactical version and drew a circle on each elbow.

"The 76ers' defensive rotation just now was okay, but they are big, and they will suffer from large-scale transfers, so later Kuzma and Ingram will do a pick-and-roll in the elbow zone and use your mobility to wear down the 76ers. Defensively, both of their perimeter players are poor shooters, and they will obviously focus on pick-and-roll breakthroughs, so we must pay attention to shrinking defenses."

The timeout ended quickly, and players from both teams returned to the game.

In the live broadcast area, Pierce asked, "Mike, which team do you prefer to win?"

Jordan replied without hesitation: "I changed my mind and now support the Lakers, because Tianyang plays the most like me in the entire league, with comprehensive skills, great ambitions, and strong mental attributes."
