Chapter 663: The pinnacle of Xu Xuan and Xiaoka!

At halftime, 51 to 59, the Spurs trailed by 8 points, which most fans did not expect.
This is especially true for Spurs fans.
But the Spurs fans did not worry, let alone panic.
For them, they have also seen bigger scenes, these are just pediatrics.
The Spurs will be back in the second half!
"After the second half of the game, neither team changed their tactics!"
Seeing that the Lakers did not change their tactics in the second half, Popovich was completely relieved.
The confident smile at the beginning of the first half returned to his face again.
Only soon, the smile on Popovich's face slowly became stiff.
"After the start of the second half, Xu Xuan's performance was still crazy and outstanding. Facing Xiaoka's defense, Xu Xuan's offense was still terrifyingly sharp!!!"
"Not only that, he also increased his passes, connected teammates, and the entire Lakers seemed to be alive."
Is this kid really so difficult to deal with?
This playoffs has to think of a way to let him go so unscrupulously.
Popovich felt a little irritable inexplicably.
He is usually an elegant and easy-going person, and sometimes makes jokes.
He didn't seem to be concerned about the victory or defeat of a regular season.
But what he worries about is what to do with the playoffs.
According to the current record, the Spurs should not encounter the Lakers before the Western Conference Finals.
But I was afraid that I would really run into it in the Xijue.
What should I do if Xu Xuan is still so difficult to solve?
It seems that there is no special medicine at all.
Xiaoka's defense will make Xu Xuan feel uncomfortable, but that's it, uncomfortable return uncomfortable, the goals that should be scored, the points that should be scored, there are no less.
When the Spurs and the Lakers ended the third quarter, the Spurs and the Lakers scored 84 to 90 and Popovich gritted his teeth.
"After the start of the fourth quarter, Xu Xuan remained on the court!"
"The Spurs' main lineup also stayed on the court in the fourth quarter!"
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Kenny Smith was a little surprised looking at the lineups of the two teams.
The pace of this game is fast.
The playing time of the Spurs' main players is a bit long...
Does this have any deep meaning?
Or Popovich’s special idea?
It really is!
Popovich is fighting today.
Because he is going to play this game as the intensity of the playoffs.
Then, the playing time of the main players naturally has to be calculated according to the level of the playoffs!
For this, Popovich didn't feel too satisfied.
Because the playoffs are 4 wins, it is only one game now, no matter how hard you fight, there will be no follow-up.
But even so, you have to try it!
It's the mule or the horse drawn out!
And this game is very important for the Spurs.
Because before that, the two teams have already reached a 1-1 draw. In this third game, whoever wins will take the lead and be the first to be invincible.
If you really meet in the playoffs like this, you will have a psychological advantage.
As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Xu Xuan brought a bunch of Lakers rotation on the court.
Xu Xuan leads the team, no matter who the teammate is, the pressure will not be small, and the threat will not be small.
The point is that the Spurs are still behind, 6 points behind, so Popovich will not dare to let the main force go to rest.
"What should I say? Is the Lakers' performance too good? Or Xu Xuan's performance is too good. It's four quarters, not to mention the lead, and forced the Spurs to use the main force on the court, right? "
"But the game is really good. I can't go on with the little card, Manu can't go, Parker can't go, Ade can't go, this Spurs makes me think it doesn't seem to be a big problem to be 6 points behind."
Facts have proved that Popovich's play layout is still useful.
Only three minutes into the fourth quarter, the score on the court has become 96 to 96!
It's a tie!
Parker and Manu jointly arranged the first 10 points of the Spurs' final quarter!
The two veterans are very strong.
Especially Manu...Although I am bald, I am also getting better.
Even if I am 40 years old this year, my serpentine breakthrough is still full of lethality!
Tie again!
Spurs fans and Popovich breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Don't worry about it, it's fake!
Especially in this game almost from the beginning until now, the Spurs have always been on the side that was suppressed.
It's not too late to tie!
"But I think the Spurs can't be happy too soon." Barkley shook his head and said solemnly: "The premise for the Spurs to tie the score now is that Xu Xuan is playing with a group of rotating players. You know, the Lakers' main force can be paid They are all sitting off the court. They are all resting. Assuming that all the main players of the Lakers are back now, can the main tired Spurs survive?"
It should be no problem to keep going.
These people are not role players, it would be strange if they don't have this physical ability.
But playing this way is not worth the gain.
But the Spurs have nothing to do. Who left them behind?
If you fall behind, you have to pay a price to catch up.
"The Spurs got all the main force early!"
"Now the Lakers are still with Xu Xuan with a rotation lineup!"
If you want to change to the playoffs, Xu Xuan must not dare to play the entire main force of the Spurs with a rotation lineup.
But the regular season, it doesn't matter.
Back on the court.
The game continues.
With about five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers' main team came back.
The Spurs also relied on their all-main lineup to get a 4-point lead.
106 to 102.
Popovich is still hot.
At the critical moment, a wave of extreme operations directly allowed the Spurs to take the lead in the final five minutes.
"Frank doesn't seem to be too anxious." Kenny Smith said suspiciously.
Now the Lakers are undoubtedly behind, or the one who has been overtaken, but Frank's expression doesn't seem to be very anxious.
"Do you believe in Xu Xuan? Believe that Xu Xuan will help the team win?"
No brains to believe in Xu Xuan?
There seems to be only this reason.
"But I personally think that the main team of the Lakers is still a bit late. They can come back earlier, maybe the difference will not be 4 points."
The Lakers frontcourt.
The small card stuck tightly on Xu Xuan's body.
The Spurs used a lot of people to defend against Xu Xuan in this game, but in the end they let Xiaoka come.
People like Danny Green and Manu didn't seem to be very effective.
At the crucial moment, Popovich still believes in Kaka!
In fact, Xiaoka's blockade against Xu Xuan in this game is really good.
So far, Xu Xuan has made 12 of 19 shots. This hit rate may be very high for others, but for Xu Xuan, it is just average, not at a regular level.
Although Xu Xuan's game faced every three-pointer shot by the small card, it was very impactful and very visual.
But it's just visual effects!
The defensive effect that the small card should have is actually not less.
Stalker!
The two kept touching.
Xiaoka waved his long arms down, feeling that the entire sky was covered, but he was not too close to your position, just a pair of arms stretched out.
Cover the sky!
"Kay's arms are so long, God, I feel that the length of his arms is almost as long as my hands." Barkley exclaimed.
"That's normal, Charles, you shouldn't say it in a surprised tone, that's the truth." O'Neill attacked mercilessly.
"..."
Do you believe I wet you? ...If I can.
Barkley took a deep look at O'Neill and decided to skip the topic.
"boom!"
Xu Xuan didn't notice for a while, and the ball was shot down from the air by Xiaoka.
The two pounced on the ball at the same time.
However, after the ball was shot by Xiaoka, Xu Xuan subconsciously stopped it with his arm. He didn't run far, and Xu Xuan's position was closer, so he got the ball in the first place.
The next second-
Xu Xuan turned 180 degrees, pressed against Xiaoka's body, rubbed, rubbed, and after continuous rubbing, facing the basket, he adjusted his posture, collected the ball, kicked his legs, stayed in the air, and a set of movements were flawless.
"Huh!"
Basketball directly into the net!
"It's beautiful!" Barkley patted the table and said loudly:
"This time offensive and defensive, Xiaoka and Xu Xuan have achieved the ultimate."
It is indeed the ultimate.
Can you say that the small card is not well defended, or Xu Xuan is not good at attacking?
They couldn't stand up, the contest between offense and defense between the two was basically 50-50, but in the end Xu Xuan forced the ball into it. This is the ability.
106 to 105, with only 1 point left.
The Spurs offense.
Parker moved the frontcourt to Manu.
Lao Yao Dao could stand on the court at the crucial moment, without counseling at all, facing Xu Xuan's defense, he suddenly received the ball.
Serpentine breakthrough.
Xu Xuan glanced at the opportunity and struck directly, slapped the ball directly with a slap.
However, Ingram, who is closest to basketball, was about to get the ball, but he was hit by the little card behind him and lost his position. He took the ball, looked around, and went directly to the basket. Germany, scored a layup.
108 to 105.
Xu Xuan held the ball for halftime.
The rhythm on both sides gradually picked up.
Popovich frowned. He didn't want to speed up the rhythm, but things on the court were unpredictable, and the onlookers were clear, the authorities were fans, and the Spurs on the court might not have noticed that the pace had become faster.
Quickly transfer the ball.
The Lakers kept passing the ball from the outside, putting pressure on the Spurs to change defense.
But it was passed down for a long time, and there was still no good chance.
Xu Xuan had no choice but to catch the ball and kill directly.
Sure enough, it attracted defensive attention. This time, it was on the outside line. Russell received the ball and shot the three-pointer
"Huh!"
Not in.
The old French sports car couldn't help breathing. In this defense, he first fought against Xu Xuan and then turned around to defend Russell. He could only feel a word, so tired!
The rebound was accepted by Adelaide.
The Spurs pushed back.
Manu took halftime.
Give me a small card.
A steady batch of mid-range jumpers-
There is a weird beauty when Kazuo shoots, as if he can get in with a shot, it's a thief.
110 to 105!
The points difference widened.
The Lakers offense.
Xu Xuan raised his head and glanced at the time. At 3 minutes and 18 seconds, time is running out. You can't be beaten by the Spurs all the time. If the Spurs continue to beat him like this, the Lakers will not lose or lose.
The pace must be accelerated.
Thinking of this, Xu Xuan raised his right hand and made a gesture of pressing all five fingers.
Russell understood in seconds, and the speed suddenly increased.
frontcourt.
Xu Xuan continued to gesture.
These gestures are all internal actions, which outsiders cannot understand.
It's like a single gesture like chattering, but it's too common, and you can understand it at a glance. James knows that Kobe's gesture is to single out.
And this gesture made by Xu Xuan just now means that you should stop obsessing about passing the ball anymore. If you receive the ball, just throw it. If it doesn't make a goal, you can throw it anyway. Lift the catch first.
Rhythm is king.
After Xu Xuan made the gesture, he immediately threw the ball to the bottom corner Ingram, Ingram took the ball and shot, very decisively
"Huh!"
But like Russell just now, they didn't make it.
The rebound was received by Ade, Parker looked up, the fast break failed, the Lakers have all returned to defense.
Spurs battle in position.
"Huh!"
The small card gets another middle distance!
"This is the killer!!! These shots from the middle distance are too deadly!" Kenny Smith shook his head, full of admiration for Xiaoka.
At this time, everyone is a little impetuous, but the two mid-range shots made by Kazuo are too calm, calm to the horrible kind.
"The killer! This is the killer! Why is Leonard the regular season and the playoffs being two people? We just said that this game is already at the level of the playoffs, and Leonard in this game, It's Leonard in the playoffs."
Xu Xuan's face was solemn.
For the Spurs, Warriors, Cavaliers and other teams, Xu Xuan feels that he pays enough attention to it, but every time he fights ~EbookFREE.me~, he still finds that the opponent can surprise him.
But you should be cautious, how to play the game or how to play!
This ball Xu Xuan comes by himself!
Russell and Ingram are useless.
Facing the defensive defensiveness of the small card, he collected the ball, kicked his legs, and shook his wrists. This backward jumper was amazing!
Almost instantly, when Xiaoka was about to look back, he heard bursts of cheers from the field.
There was no expression on Xiaoka's face, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart, and was fed by this withering.
Three points!
Three points again!
"Hey! Xu Xuan still has to stand up." Kenny Smith said.
How many three-pointers are this for this while?
Russell and Ingram have a bit of iron in this battle, and the Lakers can only rely on Xu Xuan.
110 to 108.
The audience cheered, and there was only 2 points left!
"Hey, the game is not over yet!"
The Spurs fight back!
With the Lakers back and forth fast break, the Spurs couldn't help speeding up the pace.
This is not what they think, but the rhythm is very mysterious, and sometimes it is not something you can suppress if you want to.
Still give the small card the middle distance
Both teams are looking for key people at this time.
His posture shooter is relatively straight, his wrists are less choked, his elbows are slightly turned out, and his front view is similar to a triangle. The ball is above the head and the distance of the arm is above the head. Compared with the traditional swingman, his shot is forward, not on the head. , At the top of the head, this is a typical new era shooting element.
His arms are too long, so it looks very low from the action and a bit stiff, but in fact, the action of Kaka is very suitable for him, this is his most comfortable shooting posture.
"Huh!"
Vote again!
This is Leonard!
This is the little card!
