Chapter 100 Status Crisis
In heads-up play, insiders have always had an advantage over outside players, players with post-ups have an advantage over those without post-ups, and players with shots have an advantage over those without.Xu Tian is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, so how could he be afraid of single-handed combat?

Paul George received a pass from Xu Tian at the top of the arc and launched his first single-handed attack.

Xu Tian lowered his center of gravity, used the most standard posture to deal with Paul George, and defended with all his strength.

Paul George was originally positioned as a 3D player, and his offensive ability with the ball was not strong, but his ability has made great progress in the past two years, and it is enough to support him to launch singles with the ball at critical moments.However, his unsmooth dribbling is still too childish in Xu Tian's eyes.

Xu Tian put his right hand under his body, while keeping his body in place, he put pressure on Paul George's dribbling rhythm.

Paul George had never played against Xu Tian, ​​and was completely disturbed by this oppressive defense and lost his dribbling rhythm. He could only forcefully pull up at 18 feet and use his superstar ability to shoot.

The basketball hit the backboard and successfully entered the Nets with the help of a clever rebound.

1-0!
Xu Tian was a little surprised by such a reluctant shot, and opened his mouth into an O shape, but he still accepted the reality helplessly.

Kobe stood under the basket, picked up the dropped basketball, and passed it back to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian served to Paul George, and he continued to attack.

Paul George had an insight into Xu Tian's defensive characteristics. He blocked Xu Tian with his left arm, and dribbled the ball with his right hand to advance inside.He also takes the turnaround jumper, trying to get the second shot with that trick.

Xu Tian stepped off his horse, put his right hand against George's back, and lowered his center of gravity to stop him from advancing.

Paul George received the ball with his back, moved his left foot to the right and turned over, avoiding Xu Tian's defense and preparing for a jump shot.

Xu Tian reacted instantly, straightening his right hand to interfere with Paul George, preventing him from shooting from the right side smoothly.

Paul George's right foot did not move, and it could still be used as the pivot foot. His left foot made continuous tentative steps, holding the ball behind his hands to find Xu Tian's defensive loopholes.

What Xu Tian was afraid of was Paul George's forced breakthrough. He was confident in defending against the current offense of stopping the ball, and kept interfering with his hands in front of him.

Paul George tried his best and couldn't find a good shooting space while flickering around, so he had to believe in his shooting touch again and forcefully pull up a fadeaway jumper.

Now it's a one-on-one match, and no one on the field can help Paul George make the transition. He can only take a shot this time, otherwise it will be a walking violation.So Xu Tian took off unscrupulously and interfered with Paul George's shooting with his right hand.

Paul George adjusted his shooting shape in mid-air, and barely shot the basketball in his hand in an offensive space that was extremely unfavorable to him.

Kobe looked at the arc of the basketball and was surprised that such a shot could be scored.

The basketball slid across the net, breaking the silence of the stadium!

2-0!
Kobe caught the basketball under the basket, hit the ground and passed the ball back to Xu Tian, ​​and he continued to serve.

Paul George stood outside the three-point line, with a smile on his face, and said: "Xu, it seems that I am going to be the future of the Lakers."

Xu Tian passed the ball to Paul George, lowered his focus and said, "We only scored two goals now, so it's too early to say."

"It's not too early!" Paul George took a tentative step with the ball in both hands, and at the same time he did not forget to provocate Xu Tian, ​​"When I score a few more goals, you will cry and carry my shoes."

Xu Tian watched Paul George's slightly loose ball-holding action, and took advantage of his speech to pat the ball with his right hand and hit it down.

Paul George quickly stopped the unnecessary trash talk, retrieved the ball with both hands, and launched an offense with the ball.

There was no smile on Xu Tian's face, and he devoted all his defensive attention to Paul George, trying to prevent him from scoring again.

Paul George was stuck by Xu Tian's brown sugar defense. He pushed the ball to 18 feet and couldn't take another half step. He had no choice but to continue to turn around and play singles.

Xu Tian and Kobe had a lot of heads-ups during summer training, so he was very experienced in defending this offensive method. He blocked Paul George's comfortable shooting area in advance and forced him to make strong shots.

Kobe knew very well in his heart that Paul George's first two goals were all strong shots, which showed that Xu Tian's defense was in place, but it happened that his touch was overwhelming.

The basketball, carrying Paul George's vision of being the face of the Los Angeles Lakers, flew gracefully toward the rim once again from his hands.

Xu Tian touched the ball with the middle finger of his right hand, but he still couldn't block Paul George's strong luck. He turned around and saw the ball bump into the basket.

3-0!

Kobe got the basketball and shouted at Xu Tian: "Xu, luck is on Paul's side today, I'm afraid you will be the third child on the team."

Xu Tian shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hands to receive the ball from Kobe, and continued to send it to Paul George.

Paul George successfully hit the first three balls, and he was very confident in his touch, but he was not blind.On the fourth offense, he decisively changed his offensive strategy.

Xu Tian is still between Paul George and the basket, defending with the most standard defensive posture, trying to stop his fiery offensive momentum.

Paul George dribbled the ball to change his rhythm, put his right hand against Xu Tian, ​​and stepped into the three-point line with his right foot to make a breakthrough, tricking Xu Tian into moving inside.The moment Xu Tian shifted his center of gravity back, Paul George withdrew his right foot behind the three-point line and shot decisively.

The step-back shot is Allen Iverson's stunt, and Harden is the best among active stars.This shooting method uses the movement hysteresis caused by the forward and backward movement of the defender's center of gravity to create a short shooting space, which is a very practical shooting technique.

Paul George kept the movement of the ball with his right hand, and looked sideways to see if the shot was made.

Xu Tian almost blocked the shot, but it was almost as if he didn't, watching the basketball go into the net again.

The three-pointer in the heads-up was counted as two points. Paul George's goal successfully turned the score into 5-0!

Paul George hit consecutive shots, inevitably a little excited, and sprayed at Xu Tian: "Little bitch, see, this is my strength! As long as I score another six points, I will be the boss of the Lakers. "

Xu Tian shrugged, turned around and received a pass from Kobe, and sent it to Paul George at the top of the arc again.

Paul George didn't expect to beat Xu Tian, ​​but now the 5-0 score told him that this vision might become a reality, which unknowingly affected his mentality.The most obvious change is that he no longer used his left hand to block Xu Tian's position when he dribbled through.

When Kobe saw Paul George's careless dribbling, the scene of one-on-one confrontation with Xu Tian in the past flashed in his mind, and he finished thinking.

Paul George saw Xu Tian speed up suddenly, turned into a yellow lightning bolt, and rushed towards the basketball in his hand.When he came back to his senses, he saw Xu Tian was already standing outside the three-point line, dribbling the ball and waiting for his defense.
