Chapter 17 Battle Spurs ([-])
"Good job Wood, that's it, you need to use your brain to play." James really liked this big man from China, and patted Mu Xiaobei on the shoulder to encourage him.

The Spurs' new double-dude combination composed of Alder and DeRozan has a variety of styles of play. Gasol's coping ability, Aldridge's wide range and singles ability to face the frame and back the frame can make any team There are many ways to play.

After Alder screened for DeRozan, DeRozan made a fallback jumper.

James played Gay with his back, Mu Xiaobei made an off-ball screen for Hart, and Hart made a three-pointer with the catch and shot.

"Defend! Guard! Follow closely, don't let them shoot easily!" Wharton roared loudly, and his energy was a bit like Popovich.

The 32-year-old Gay's physical fitness and breakthrough ability have not diminished. He used Gasol's pick-and-roll to pass James and Mu Xiaobei, and he was about to layup in three steps.

But getting old is getting old after all, jumping slower and lower than before, even Mu Xiaobei, a fledgling rookie, was able to block Drew Gay's layup.

"Beautiful, this rookie has demonstrated his ability to block shots in the past few games. Among rookies, only Bamba can match it." Barkley praised, as if he had become a fan of Mu Xiaobei.

"This ball looks like Yao." Looking at Mu Xiaobei's block, O'Neill's expression was a bit unnatural, and he wondered if he remembered something.

"Well—" The audience stood up and applauded for the block. They had just seen a loss at their home court, and this time they were eager for their team to win a victory.

James got the ball and launched a counterattack directly.

A wonderful base second pass passed the ball to Ingram, and Ingram made a three-step dunk.

Ingram is already a third-year student. He is very similar to Durant in the first-year Supersonics, and even the small step before his jumper is very similar to Durant.

But his body is too thin, his strength is not enough, and his explosive power is not enough, so it is difficult to accelerate suddenly.

But his fast-moving ability can be said to be very strong. Sometimes it can remind people of the famous Lakers Worthy. As long as Ingram can accelerate in the backcourt, his finishing ability will be greatly improved.

In other words, Ingram's counterattack ability has a good chance to grow to the level of Mr. Worthy. Coupled with James, this always reminds people of the imaginative combination of Magician and Worthy.

In fact, the Lakers have a very strong level of counterattack. Even though the last game was painfully beaten by the Rockets' counterattack, in fact, the Lakers still fought back in the last game. Much worse than the Rockets.

Mills held the ball for halftime and handed the ball to DeRozan again. This younger All-Star is undoubtedly the team's first choice on the offensive end.

DeRozan did not choose the singles he was good at, but handed the ball to his big brother Gasol to run tactics obediently. In the end, Aldridge made a mid-range jumper in front of James.

On the offensive end of the Lakers, Ball still controls the ball. This nearly two-meter-high vacancy is not like his father. Instead, he often learns from James and Rondo humbly. Now he has a good grasp of the timing of his teammates' misplaced singles and the vacancy of his teammates. It is more thorough.

When Mu Xiaobei got the ball, he leaned back with his back, once, twice.

Turning forward and leaning back, but it is not a conventional backward leaning. Instead, one hand pushes the ball out, and the other hand blocks between yourself and the defensive player, which greatly limits the defensive effect of the defensive player.

The ball stumbled, and finally bumped into it.

"Tim—oh Maiga—is this Tim possessed? Doesn't it mean that his technical movements are learned from Yao?" Barkley exclaimed.

O'Neill also looked at Mu Xiaobei with a strange expression. He had fought Duncan many times and was very familiar with Duncan's technical moves.

The same weird shot, although Mu Xiaobei's hand feeling is not so smooth, but this is Duncan's usual move.

The world only remembers Mr. Big Fundamental Skills' 45-degree hit on the board, but Duncan's back-to-the-basket low post is a very common singles move, which is basically only familiar with the stab secret.

Turning forward and leaning back allows space between himself and the defensive player, stretching the right arm forward and shortening the distance between the ball and the basket, and blocking the interference of the defensive player with the left arm.

The posture is very weird, even a bit ugly, but Duncan is very practical when using it, and the hit rate is very high.

James, who also met Duncan many times in the finals, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded when he saw Mu Xiaobei's technical moves, but he quickly reacted, slapped Mu Xiaobei and quickly returned to defense.

······
After the first quarter, with 7 minutes left in the second quarter, Walton replaced Mu Xiaobei. At this time, the Lakers had already led the Spurs by five points 43:38 by virtue of their counterattack and space.

At this time, Yu Mu Xiaobei was facing the Spurs' young center Bertans. This [-]-meter center was tough, strong in confrontation, and also had a three-pointer.

But his height and wingspan are really flawed, making him look a bit like a poor man's version of Blake Griffin.

At this time, the Lakers' lineup on the field is Mu Xiaobei, Ingram, Kuzma, Stephenson and Rondo, which is a relative substitute lineup.

At the beginning, the coach liked to let James and Rondo be on the same level, but with Ball's comeback, Wharton's head coach felt that young players were more important, so Rondo served as the commander of the substitute.

Mu Xiaobei was holding the ball with his back to Bertans at this time, he was indeed very powerful, Mu Xiaobei hit him twice in a row but couldn't push him.

But at this time Ingram had already run out of a good position, Mu Xiaobei passed the ball directly, and Ingram turned around and hit a jumper.

Turning around, Mills missed a three-point jumper, the long rebound was taken by Rondo, and Rondo threw it to Ingram, who took three steps directly and put the ball into the basket with a European step.

DeRozan played Stephenson in singles, Stephenson was blocked by Bertans, Mu Xiaobei was unable to defend, and the original king of the North directly smashed a one-handed dunk on the Staples court.

"Nice, explosive physicality!" Barkley laughed.

"Good shot, good shot, this ball reminds people of Kobe." O'Neal also prefers this kind of slam dunk with fierce confrontation compared to shooting contests.

Turning around, Rondo broke through the defense that attracted two people, and directly threw the ball high.

"boom—"

"Wood returned an alley-oop, well done!" O'Neill still has feelings for the Staples Center after all, and he was very happy to see Mu Xiaobei's response.

Both sides come and go, and gradually replace players within the rotation time.

In the second quarter, DeRozan finally opened up his touch. Three-pointers, mid-range shots, and dunks all made gains.

Ingram also got a lot of fast break points by virtue of the Lakers' counterattack.

After the first half, the Lakers temporarily took the lead with a slight two-point advantage at 66:63.
