NBA: The strongest trash talk

In the first quarter, with Chen Xu’s outstanding play, the Lakers temporarily led the Rockets 29-28.

Chen Xu also still scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.

It can be said that if it were not for Chen Xu’s excellent performance, the Rockets would likely lead the Lakers by double digits.

In addition to Paul and Harden, most of the rest of the Rockets are very good functional players, who can attack and defend, and if they shoot three-point shots, they are second only to the Warriors’ Tsunami brothers’ offensive firepower.

Fortunately, Chen Xu’s excellent defense did not have many opportunities for them.

“Well done,” Lebraun encouraged Chen, who had seen such a great young player for the first time in his career.

“Chen, you rest for a few minutes in the second quarter.” Wharton was afraid that Chen Xu would appear in the first situation again, so he made arrangements.

Chen Xu is also not easy to refuse, otherwise he will improve too quickly, which will easily arouse everyone’s suspicion.

On the other hand, Paul’s grappling with Chen Xu in the first quarter did not get too cheap, and the physical exertion was too great, after all, Paul is also a 33-year-old veteran.

“What do you think of this Chen Xu?” D’Antoni asked Paul during the break.

“The defense is good, and it feels like he hasn’t played with the Thunder yet.” The first section of Paul was quite uncomfortable.

“Yes, but his physical strength is a big problem, he only played 26 minutes in the last game, it seems that Wharton is using Chen Xu as the axis of the Lakers’ defense, if he goes down to rest, the Lakers’ defensive holes will be much bigger!”

Seeing is believing, and D’Antoni, who watched a whole section on the sidelines, figured out Wharton, a junior rookie coach.

“In the second quarter, Chen Xu will definitely rest for a while, seize this gap, and widen the point difference!”

D’Antoni said leisurely.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second quarter, Wharton replaced Chen Xu with Kuzma.

With this substitution, Chen Xu’s effect immediately appeared.

Without Chen Xu’s constraints, although Rondo can temporarily limit Paul, Rondo’s height and strength cannot be limited for a long time. Paul’s shot, breakthrough is much easier.

As for the rest of the Lakers, Lebra has to keep an eye on the opponent’s arrow figures, Yingge, and Kuzma are not defensive types of players, and only the elderly boxing king can still deter the Rockets’ breakthrough hand in the box.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Rockets have outscored the Lakers by 12 points 53-41!

“Now it seems that Chen Xu’s defensive ability is his magic weapon for gaining a foothold in the Lakers! The first game was good for the Thunder, and the Lakers would not have routed when Chen Xu was away. ”

“But the strength of the Rockets is much stronger than the Thunder, and now that a defensive gate is gone, the Rockets are much easier at once, pressing the Lakers to play!” The three-point rain was also cast. ”

“I hope Chen Xu will recover quickly, the situation of the Lakers can’t do without him!”

TNT’s crowd analyzed, and Maddie leisurely looked at the situation on the field: “Chen Xu played 26 minutes due to lack of physical strength last time, and the season is still very long, and Chen Xu’s playing time may be compressed.” I think the rockets should have won. ”

The other four guests also did not speak, apparently acquiescing to Maddie’s statement.

Even Barkley changed his usual big-mouth style and no longer belittled Chen Xu, but nodded in agreement.

Beep-

On the court, Harden touched again: Ah no, successful fouls, 3 free throws!

“Chen, how’s it going? How well rested. Finally, Wharton couldn’t help but ask.

A dozen big holes, the Lakers do not have as many brave three-point shootings as the Warriors, this has to be chased back, it’s difficult!

“Almost.” Chen Xu had long been eager to try, and as soon as Wharton asked, he answered at the speed of light.

“Good.” Wharton nodded, and Chen Xu was replaced again.

“Oh? So early? D’Antoni was slightly surprised, but Chen Xu was not replaced until the last three minutes of the second quarter. Despite this, D’Antoni did not make adjustments, anyway, Chen Xu will end sooner or later.

He still doesn’t believe that Wharton can overdraw this superstar embryo because of this game? Got a strain?

Even if Wharton wanted to do this, the Lakers management would not agree! After all, physical strength is not something that cannot be practiced, this kind of thing can grow a lot in one summer, in case Chen Xu is injured, it is a huge loss.

D’Antoni sat firmly on the fishing platform and didn’t even say anything to the players.

The rocket everyone also knows it.

Harden hit three free throws slowly, bringing the difference to 15 points.

“Give it to me, I’m physically energetic.” Before serving, Chen Xu specially said to Londo.

Rondo nodded, pushed into the front court, and quickly handed the ball into Chen Xu’s hands. Seeing this, Tucker quickly stepped forward to keep an eye on it.

“Look, this ball is for you.” Chen Xu said, causing Gordon to be stunned.

“Ding~ Congratulations to the host for successfully using trash talk to cause the other party’s mood swings, get a reward once, please choose!”

“1. Get Hate Value +115 Unused Attribute Points +3.”

“2. Gain a hatred value of +9, and before the next round starts, ignore the skill gap, and increase the three-point shooting rate to 98%.”

With the growth of various techniques and ball skills, the system seems to become stronger, and in the face of a player like Gordon whose defensive level is in the upper part of the league, the three-point shooting rate can actually be 98% regardless of ball skills!

“Pick 2.” After that, Chen Xu greeted Tucker with a three-pointer.

How could Tucker endure this situation, he raised his hand to try to interfere with Chen Xu’s shooting. Chen Xu just took the calculation, slightly adjusted his body to lean forward during the jump, and made a move.

The whistle blows, the ball goes in.

3+1！

“Well, this ball is not bad, isn’t it?” Standing on the free throw line, Chen Xu continued to chatter.

Tucker’s expression is very depressed, three points dry, the interference is enough, can actually enter, Chen Xu, this newcomer is lucky.

“It’s okay, luck the balloon, normal heart.” Paul on the side was calm.

“Is it? Forgot how I stopped you from the first verse? You’re old, Chris. Chen Xu continued.

Now is the chasing stage, you must do your best!

“What did you say?” Paul didn’t expect Chen Xu to dare to speak to himself like this, and a scowl appeared.

“Ding~ Congratulations to the host for successfully using trash talk to cause the other party’s mood swings, get a reward once, please choose!”

“1. Get Hate Value +324 Unused Attribute Points +5.”

“2. Gain Hatred +22, and before the next round starts, ignore the gap in skills and increase the steal percentage to 100%.”

“Pick 2.”

Just a steal, Chen Xu made a choice, did not follow the Lakers’ players back to defense, but stood in the front court, staring at Paul.

Tucker, who served the ball, noticed it, but habitually had to give the ball to Paul.

Chen Xu took a step forward and truncated the ball with a 220cm arm length!

At the moment, the two players in the back court of the Rockets did not react at all! Chen Xu accelerated in a straight line, jumped high, and smashed towards the basket fiercely!

“Boom!”

With a loud noise, Chen Xu pulled hard, and his whole body flew into the air with the help of the force and roared, before landing on the ground.

2 rounds, 12 seconds, Chen Xu came on the court and recovered 6 points for the Lakers!
