Chapter 276 Forced out the strongest James
The Spurs struggled to beat the Warriors at home.

After two days of adjustment, the road trip is about to start again.

Fortunately, it was a two-day break. Several main players were directly put on two-day leave. They had a good rest and came to the training hall every day to do recovery 1.
This time the away game is the Suns first, and then they are flying to the Lakers.

The Suns received little challenge.

Xiao Hang was also rested, and Booker was delighted to see that Xiao Hang was not there, but he was arranged by Murray.

Murray said that Curry can rub his spirit on a single defense, you Booker is not easy to catch.

Although Booker's performance was much better than under Xiao Hang's defense, he made 23 of 9 shots and made 4 free throws, scoring 25 points. Compared with the Spurs before, this statistic has indeed improved a lot. But it's not a drop in the bucket, and it can't have any impact on the situation.

Moreover, the Suns lacked a point guard, and the Spurs said there was no shortage. After Murray was pushed to the second position, Mills and Forbes took turns attacking the Suns at the No. 1 position.

Mills made 6 of 3 three-pointers in the game, and Forbes also made 5 of 3 three-pointers.

Booker's defense is also notoriously bad. Murray scored 17 points today, including 3 of 3 three-pointers.

And the head coach is also very problematic. Obviously Ayton can storm the opponent's inside line, but there is still no tactical support. It seems that he scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks. Good data, but it does not help the team's victory. .

100 to 123, the Spurs scored 123 points under the defense of the Suns. This was still the case when Xiao Hang was resting. Aldridge was able to deal with the standing Mamba at the power forward position and scored 27 points. Ayton originally wanted to defend Ahmad Germany, but Isaac is also a variety of shows, and he also scored 23 points, and the two tied for 50 points.

The tragedy of the sun continues, and the Spurs are just one of them.

After a day off, the Spurs team came to the Lakers. The Lakers are now ranked 5th in the West. Not counting the game against the Spurs, there are still 1 games left. They are 3 game away from the 5th. Theoretically, they can still enter the playoffs , but currently the eighth Trail Blazers like to mention a wave of 3 consecutive victories. The next few teams have no strong teams, and the seventh Thunder is also the same. Three of the last five games are against the last few in the East. The pressure is also not great. After the Spurs, the Lakers still have to play the Raptors, Warriors, Nuggets, Clippers, and 76ers. They are all playoff teams. Is James not going to the playoffs in a row?

The greater the pressure, the greater the burst of energy.

The Spurs challenged the Lakers at the Staples Center, and the Lakers, like the previous teams, were all soldiers.

James played 5 consecutive singles alone in the first 8 minutes of the game.

Hit 6 goals, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 14 points alone.

The Spurs played relatively steadily here. Xiao Hang scored 4 of 2 and scored 5 points, but sent 3 assists. Isaac hit a three-pointer, and Alder made a mid-range shot and made an air cut. A total of 12 points , temporarily behind by 2 points, and now it is the eighth offense of the Spurs here.

Murray passed halftime, Adelaide covered, Murray entered the inside line, Xiao Hanggay and others from the outside line started to run under the cover of Isaac and Adelaide.

"Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Murray took advantage of the Lakers' inside hesitation, two steps into the inside line, and it was a dunk!
The score was tied again.

James dribbled the ball and Xiao Hang took 2 steps.

Today, James felt very good about the three-pointer, but Xiao Hang continued to play it. Many fans in the Gooseun live broadcast room were puzzled.

Because James just feels better, the more he dares to shoot, the more accurate he is, although most of the time he is not very accurate...

But in this case, dare to let James 2 steps away, only the Spurs.

James called McGee's screen and took a step to the left. Xiao Hang squeezed past the screen, but James had already shot.

"Shua—" James made 3 of 3 three-pointers!

Murray dribbled the ball across the half, but Xiao Hang got stuck inside and James wanted the ball.

Xiao Hang received the ball, put his left shoulder and hip against James, squeezed towards the inside line step by step, suddenly turned quickly towards the bottom line, took two long steps, and slammed the dunk with one hand.

Staples fans gasped, this is a step past James!

It is true that James is 35 years old, and the traces of the years can be seen on the defensive end. Now he is relying more and more on the inside defense and entering the field to let players in, and then chasing caps, but this is used too much, everyone knows .

The Lakers led by one point, James dribbled the ball, Xiao Hang continued to put 2 steps.

In fact, it is very simple to put 2 steps. It is to let you play. The more you play singles and the more you are cut off from other players, the greater the chance of winning against James.

Everyone knows this defensive tactic, but it is very demanding.

It needs an excellent single defender to lead James in front, and a frame protector inside.

Many teams also want to use this tactic to defend against James, but the single defender who can't fight against James, and the inside frame protector are also not good. , went down early...

Everyone knows the Spurs back then, Bowen, Kawhi, two generations of high-quality outside top defense, and the No. 21 rookie inside.

The current Spurs are Xiao Hang on the outside and Isaac on the inside.

Although Isaac's ability is still seven or eight roads behind Duncan, he is still good at protecting the frame, has a very good shot-blocking habit, and has always controlled fouls very well.

Of course James also knows the Spurs' tactics, after all, he has dealt with them too many times.

James chose to call a screen, then drove inside and finally made the pass.

McGee received a pass from James when Isaac rushed out of the defense.

Step forward for a layup.

No... McGee has also entered the grade beginning with the 3rd grade, and his overall state is up and down. Isaac received the rebound. This was the first shot by other Lakers players, but it was a pity that he didn't make it.

Xiao Hang received the ball, started to speed up immediately, and brought up the rhythm of James.

Outside the three-point line on the left side of the frontcourt, Xiao Hang slammed on the brakes and dribbled the ball under his crotch. Taking advantage of James' lateral movement, Xiao Hang went from left to right, and directly went in along the middle.

Of course McGee wanted to make up for the mistake just now, he chased up from the other side, Dapeng spread his wings and prepared to block the shot!

When James saw McGee rushing over, he yelled "No!"

"Beep—" the whistle sounded

At the same time Xiao Hang shot.

After the ball bounced 4 times under the basket, it finally fell into the basket.

2+1!

McGee looked helpless...

James can only step forward to pat McGee and instruct him how to help defend Xiao Hang. Xiao Hang rushes up at this time, and if he goes to block the block, there is a high probability that he will get a foul. Foul, this time it was even worse, still 2+2.

McGee Xiaomi nodded frantically like pecking at a chicken, but how much he listened to was just a hello.

Xiao Hang got to the free throw line, no accident, "shua-shua-" made two free throws.
