lakers championship

Chapter 353
When Jordan made such an evaluation, Pierce and the others all stared, all showing surprise.

This is not the kind of perfunctory evaluation such as "he plays well", "has a future", "I am optimistic about him", but specifically points out what is good, and deliberately summarizes it as "skilled, ambitious and energetic".

"It's a pity that Tianyang doesn't have such strong physical fitness as you." Kobe shook his head, not only sighing for Tianyang, but also feeling sorry for himself.

Kobe failed to surpass Jordan, the main gap is in physical fitness, the same set of flip-back jump shots, Jordan can be said to be easy to walk in the court, but Kobe can clearly feel the force when using it.

"But he is better than me with three-pointers, and the actual threat is greater. Now that the league has canceled the HANDCHECK rule, he has a high probability of surpassing me in awards." Jordan's tone was serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all.

The three-pointer is indeed Jordan's weakness. In his career, the highest three-pointer percentage in the regular season was only 37%, not to mention the lowest 5-pointer record in the All-Star Three-pointer Contest.

It is true that it can only be surpassed in awards, because the times have changed. Even if someone wins two three-peat championships and adds 10 scoring champions, it will be difficult to achieve Jordan's influence at the beginning, let alone surpass.

A few people chatted for a while, the offense had already started on the court, and Rondo took the ball to the frontcourt.

Kuzma and Ingram separated the left and right elbows, and Rondo walked to the top of the arc and signaled the two to step forward to cover.

Kuzma went up first and made a sideways screen, Rondo dribbled to the left, Saric switched defenses and followed up, Embiid shrank from the low position on the right to the basket, looking like he was ready to defend at any time.

It was thought that after Rondo hit the free throw line, he did not continue to rush to the basket, but passed the ball to Ingram who ran to the short corner on the right with the help of Kuzma's continuous screen.

Seeing this, McGee immediately moved laterally to block Embiid, and Ingram was unguarded and shot easily.

The basketball fell into the rim, and Covington bypassed Kuzma and rushed up to defend, wasting energy in vain.

Embiid retreated to the bottom line to serve, Fultz took it to the frontcourt, and Covington and Saric fell to the left and right corners.

Fultz rushed to the top of the arc and stopped, and just started to make moves, but Tianyang took two steps back, and he was also anti-burst and not anti-shot.

Fans booed tactfully, embarrassing Fultz.

Tianyang is not a risky gamble, no matter whether the ball is hit or not, it can disrupt the 76ers' tactical arrangement.

Fultz couldn't bear being booed, so he immediately collected the ball and kicked his feet, raised his buttocks and kicked off the ground. During the fall, he pushed the ball out with both hands in a daze.

Seeing such a series of weird movements, Tianyang didn't even stretch out his hand, and decided that he would definitely not be able to enter!

Sure enough, the basketball hit the rim and rolled out of the rim after a few bumps.

McGee caught the rebound and passed it to Rondo, and the Lakers launched a counterattack.

Kuzma and Ingram separated the left and right elbows again, and Rondo rushed to the top of the arc, picking and rolling as usual.

Covington suffered a loss in the last round. This time he went around and intercepted early, but Ingram took advantage of the trend and rushed to the top of the arc. In turn, he made a frontal screen for Kuzma without the ball. Kuzma retreated to the left after receiving a pass from Rondo. Side three-point line, dry pull out.

Another 2-point hit, Brown, the head coach of the 76ers, looked embarrassed. Losing points is a trivial matter. Why didn't the Lakers focus on Tianyang?Just now he made a big deal in front of the team members, and his prediction was too bad.

The 76ers attacked, Simmons dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and cooperated with Embiid in the pick-and-roll.

McGee switched defenses, but the speed was relatively slow. Simmons rushed to the basket and dunked.

Turning around, the Lakers continued their high double gears, the 76ers reacted, Simmons also joined the defense against Kuzma, but Rondo did not pass the ball, but went straight to the basket against Saric. In a signature emergency stop, he turned around and hit the board, easily scoring 2 points.

The 76ers attacked again, and Fultz and Embiid played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Tianyang came out ahead of time, but Fultz was extremely explosive, and he rushed to the inside and easily scored 2 points.

With such a simple move, the problem of the 76ers' two guards not being good at shooting was completely covered.

Wharton feels troubled. For the 76ers pick-and-roll, early delays, double-teams, and partial defense have little effect, because Fultz, Simmons, and Embiid can all play with the ball, and it is very easy to lose sight of one another. Rand When Ill was absent, McGee stepped up, which was always less interesting.

While Wharton was worrying, Brown was also thinking hard about how to deal with the Lakers' high double gears, but he couldn't find a good way. The reason is the same. Rondo, Kuzma, and Ingram can all play with the ball.

The two teams took the lead alternately.

After starting off the field, the 76ers relied on Redick, Cornell, and Ilyasova to play a wave of scoring climax to open the score, but they were quickly chased back by Rose, Tatum, and Nick Young.

And just like that, the game went on anxiously until the last official timeout, with the two teams tied at 99-99.

In the live broadcast area, Pierce said: "In the past 14 games, there is only one Wizards who can compete with the Lakers like this, but in terms of suppressing the Lakers, they are not as strong as the 76ers. The strongest challenge mentioned before the game is worthy of the name."

Iverson nodded: "If Simmons and Fultz develop shooting, the 76ers will be stronger."

After several people commented, Jordan suddenly said, "What's the situation? Isn't Tianyang planning to pay tribute to me? This game is almost over, do you want to sway the defender to the lore?"

Kobe shrugged: "Me neither, did this kid forget?"

Pierce pretended to be deep: "Although the position is different, you should give me face no matter what. I also want to be paid tribute!"

Iverson tilted his head: "What's your signature move?"

Carter: "Step back and shoot?"

McGrady: "Shoot a three-pointer on the spot?"

Pierce: "I'm a rhythm master! Switch between fast and slow!"

During the chat, the timeout ended, the 76ers attacked, and both teams replaced their starters.

Simmons dribbled the ball to the right wing, Embiid stepped forward to pick and roll, Walton waved his hand, McGee simply stopped following, stopped at the elbow in advance, and waited for the rabbit!
If you have a temper, you can shoot three-pointers. Whether it's Embiid or Simmons, Wharton has made up his mind.

Of course, Simmons didn't shoot, but rushed into the inside, trying to rely on speed to beat McGee.

Seeing this, Ingram adjusted his body orientation and quietly shrank towards the basket.

How could Simmons see so much when he rushed up, just put his head on McGee and forced a layup, even if Covington made a sound to remind him, he didn't score the ball, so he struggled to dodge McGee in the air, and saw Ingra again Tom stood in front of his eyes.

"Snap!", Ingram faced a big hat, McGee picked up the rebound, and the Lakers made a fast break.

Tianyang took the lead and rushed to the front, but the 76ers returned to defense quickly, and Rondo hurriedly handed over the ball.

Seeing that the basket was relatively empty, Tianyang got rid of Fultz with a feint, accelerated to the free throw line, and took off with the ball in his left hand.

Covington and Saric immediately took off from the left and right sides to double-team, Tianyang lowered the height of his left hand in the air to avoid Covington, and then sent the ball to his right hand with force with his palm, and then picked up the basket to take the ball.

"Crack!", Saric slapped Tianyang on the right hand, the referee whistled, and the basketball fell into the ring at the same time.

2+1!Change hands in the air for a layup!All cheers!Tianyang waved at Jordan and beat his chest.

Jordan immediately smiled: "Very good, very good, very good... But the posture is not as graceful as mine, and it is similar to LeBron's imitation. It is still worthy of praise!"
