Chapter 101
Xu Tian dribbled freely with his right hand, waited until Paul George came in front of him to defend and launch an offense, and lowered his center of gravity to find his defensive loopholes.

Paul George can be regarded as the second-tier small forward in the league, but his defensive ability is top-notch, much better than Kobe's defensive ability in his later years, and deserves Xu Tian's attention.

Xu Tian used two large crossovers in a row, forcing Paul George to change his defensive position twice.However, George's defensive offensive power is well-deserved, he didn't lose his position, and continued to defend Xu Tian with high intensity.

Kobe stood under the basket and looked at the two players who were calmly attacking and defending at the top of the arc. He was very optimistic about the prospects of the Lakers.

Xu Tian stretched his left foot forward as a breakthrough, tricked Paul George into moving his center of gravity back, took a step back from the mirror position, and shot a shot in a chic manner.

Paul George's defensive moves were more standard than Xu Tian's, but facing Xu Tian's slightly faster shooting speed than ordinary people, he still couldn't touch the basketball in the air.

With his way, he will also be used to his body!
2-5!

Bryant caught the basketball that fell from the rim and sprinted it to Paul George, allowing the two of them to continue the one-on-one matchup.

Paul George knew that Xu Tian was a member of the 180 club, and he had made mental preparations in advance, but he was still surprised by Xu Tian's shooting accuracy in real face.But the heads-up will continue, he hits the ground and passes the ball to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball at the top of the arc and changed his rhythm. Taking advantage of Paul George's center of gravity not completely lowered, he launched a surprise attack and stepped forward with his left foot to pass from the left.

Paul George was surprised by Xu Tian's attacking method, but his body movements didn't stop, and he immediately followed Xu Tian who broke through.

Ordinary people have two kinds of handedness, one is right-handed, and the other is left-handed. Among them, right-handed is the most common situation, and basketball players are no exception. Therefore, on the basketball court The strong side generally refers to the right side, and the weak side refers to the left side.

Lefties have the opposite strong side and weak side. This is because their habits are the opposite of righties, and they tend to attack from the normal weak side, so they will be more difficult to defend.Of course Xu Tian is not left-handed, but he has the same characteristics as McGrady - his left and right hands are extremely balanced.

Paul George used his explosive power to accelerate instantly, blocking Xu Tian's breakthrough route and forcing him to stop the ball at the free throw line.

Xu Tian was not affected in any way. He received the ball with both hands and directly stepped back for a jumper, facing Paul George's defense and shooting.

3-5!

Paul George looked at the score reported by Kobe with gestures, clapped his hands a little annoyed, and then took Kobe's pass.

Xu Tian's expression was unwavering, and he continued to attack with the highest degree of concentration, dribbling the ball in search of shooting opportunities.

Paul George didn't want to be defeated by Xu Tian in one round, so he defended with playoff-level defensive moves to stop Xu Tian's dexterous dribbling rhythm.

Xu Tian pushed the basketball a short distance to the right with his right hand, and then his body followed, directly bringing the center of gravity of Paul George, who was defending him, to the right.

Paul George learned how well Xu Tian dribbled, gave up steal attempts, and maintained a good defensive position.

Xu Tian once again resorted to a simple offensive method, a mid-range jumper with a fadeaway shot, and scored a point steadily.

Paul George was a little apprehensive about Xu Tian BT's shooting touch, and cleverly used verbal offensive, saying: "Xu, you are called an offensive kaleidoscope by ESPN anyway, if you don't come up with a variety of offensive methods, even if you win, I won't Convince you."

Xu Tian is from the east, so he naturally knew that George was going to attack him, but he agreed to George's request, took the basketball with both hands, and dribbled the ball at the top of the arc to launch an attack.

Paul George lowered his center of gravity and defended closely without leaving Xu Tian any room for breakthrough.

Xu Tian switched to the back-up mode, using a back-turning step more skillful than Paul George to sway the space, hooking directly from the free throw line, and shooting with ease.

The basketball flew high and gave the answer to George's question.

Kobe knew that Xu Tian had entered an offensive state, and reminded George friendly: "Paul, you may be in danger."

Paul George took the ball with a smile and said: "Since accepting heads-up, it is nothing more than losing or winning, so why talk about danger."

Xu Tian received the ball from Paul George, made a fake shot with both hands and shook George who was caught off guard, dribbled the ball at full speed, and broke through to the free throw line to collect the ball and take off in two steps.

Kobe knew exactly what was going to happen next, and retreated to the distance from the basket ahead of time, watching Xu Tian, ​​who took off, glide up.

BOOM!

6-5!

Xu Tian scored five goals in a row and successfully overtook the small score.

Paul George suspected that his condition had not recovered, so he passed the ball to Xu Tian with hesitation, and continued the heads-up between the two.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, and seeing the hesitation between Paul George's brows, he decisively pulled up from outside the three-point line and attacked in the simplest way.

Paul George didn't expect that Xu Tian would directly pull up a three-pointer, and turned to watch the basketball flying in mid-air, and soon the feeling of despair permeated his heart.

The basketball hits the backboard and bounces into the hoop.

Kobe didn't go to pick up the basketball, and shouted at Paul George, who was a little depressed: "Paul, the game is not over yet, don't give up so early!"

In order to mobilize Paul George from his depressed mood, Xu Tian said a few words of trash to stimulate Paul George's competitive heart.

Paul George felt the kindness of the two big men of the Lakers, and a warm current surged in his heart, dispelling the short-term depression.

The basketball moved freely beyond the three-point line, Xu Tian walked over to pick it up, and said to George: "Paul, don't think about anything during the game, only the outcome is the key, and the rest is empty."

Paul George didn't expect Xu Tian's encouragement to be more paranoid than Kobe's. After getting the ball, he immediately returned Xu Tian and asked Xu Tian to attack at the top of the arc.

Xu Tian felt good, but in order to give Paul George confidence, he chose to dribble into the three-point line for a post-up single.

Scott was beaten once by the magician's words recently, and his work attitude has made great progress. He came to the Toyota Center training hall very early.The first time he entered the training ground, he saw the one-on-one duel in full swing, and thought he had come to the wrong venue, but he didn't make a sound to disturb, but stood quietly watching from the sidelines.

Xu Tian and Paul George each played three rounds, and what Scott saw was Xu Tian's third offensive round.

Paul George has felt that Xu Tian's offensive rhythm has slowed down significantly, so he pretended to be swayed by him and watched Xu Tian shoot.

The rotation of the basketball is very slow, but it is always very firm, slowly moving towards the destination.

11-9!

This is the final score of Xu Tian and Paul George heads-up, and the result is naturally that Xu Tian successfully retained the position of the Lakers boss.

Paul George ran to the basket, picked up the basketball and held it in his hand, closed his eyes and adjusted his emotions to accept the final result.

In the following time, the Lakers came to the Toyota Center training hall one after another, but they thought everything was still the same and didn't know what happened in the training hall before.
