Chapter 1301 Steal Owen and Overtake the Score!

Bang!

I saw Xiaoka grabbing the basketball with one hand, and jumping up is a one-handed dunk. The action is not gorgeous, but it still caused a scream in the audience.

Butler applauded excitedly, turned his head and asked Qin Hao, "What did you tell Xiaoka? It feels very different from before."

Qin Hao blinked and said with a smile, "I didn't say anything, just tell him to play well. If the performance is good, let him start after the All-Star Weekend, and you can substitute him."

Butler: "..."

on the field.

The game continued. After Irving came to the frontcourt, it was a singles. After a breakout, he hit a shot, and his personal score had reached 20 points, which was the highest in the game.

However, when he turned around, Kawhi was a three-pointer. When he decided to go all out, his scoring ability was not necessarily inferior to Owen.

In the next few rounds, Xiaoka played more aggressively and better than before, causing Barkley to stand up from his seat and applaud Xiaoka.

"Humph."

Seeing that Xiaoka was so good, and under his leadership, the point difference between the two sides was further narrowed. O'Neal was only 1 point ahead. Irving snorted unhappily, and it was a singles after reaching the frontcourt.

The defense of this kind of game will not be very serious, and because of the lack of tacit understanding between the players, it is difficult to have a systematic defense, but as the game progresses, the score between the two sides continues to be anxious. By the third quarter, the intensity of the game has increased. many.

At this time, it was Xiaoka who was facing off against Irving. After the suspension just now, Xiaoka switched defenses with Rubio, and he has been defending Owen.

In the last attack of the first half, Owen's shot was blocked by Xiaoka, and Owen was still brooding in his heart. In the past few minutes, Xiaoka was on the bar, fighting against each other.

This time, Owen still chose to break through. He dribbled the ball under his crotch in a row, and suddenly swayed his shoulders, making a breakthrough to the right, and Xiaoka immediately moved a step to the left.

At this moment, Owen quickly pulled the ball back and deliberately paused for a while. Seeing that Xiaoka had quickly adjusted his center of gravity and took a step to the right, Owen showed a smile and secretly said, "Sure enough." To shoot.

With many matchups with Xiaoka, Irving has to admit that Xiaoka's defense is excellent, and it is difficult to get rid of him with just a simple change of direction.

So, he added another prayer to Buddha.

I saw that Owen's center of gravity was high, his right hand stretched out to the basketball, and it looked like he was about to make a jumper, but he suddenly changed his movements and made an accelerated breakthrough.

This trick can be regarded as one of Owen's unique skills, and he has fooled many people on the field.

But this time he miscalculated.

Just as Owen was accelerating his breakthrough, his palms suddenly became empty, his expression changed suddenly, he screamed badly, turned around quickly, and saw that Xiaoka had already jumped out, and grabbed the cut basketball and unfolded it. A quick counterattack.

"Hey, it was stolen!"

"It was stolen, what happened?"

In the audience, people exclaimed in disbelief.

Irving's series of moves just now was very beautiful, like a juggling act, and people thought it was pleasing to the eyes, but I didn't expect... it was stolen by Xiaoka.

"Shit." Butler exclaimed excitedly.

"This is talent." Qin Hao couldn't help but pat his hands in admiration.

There is no doubt that Owen's ball-handling skills are very good, and it is difficult for ordinary people to break his ball, but Xiaoka is obviously not an ordinary person.

With a pair of big hands and excellent wingspan, Xiaoka has an innate defensive talent. Just now, he used this advantage to quickly stab the basketball out.

Successfully complete the steal.

On the court, Xiaoka ran to the front court, Owen chased behind, and the two came to O'Neal's half court one after the other, Xiaoka turned his head and glanced, grabbed the ball and took three steps.

"Damn." Owen scolded, jumping angrily, seeing Xiaoka jumping up, he jumped up too, wanting to give Xiaoka a chase.

pity......

beep!

Swish!

The whistle blows, the ball goes in.

The referee pointed at Owen and gave him a foul. With Owen's height, such a ball cannot be defended. The more rational approach is to let Xiaoka score.

It's just that it's hard for him to stay calm right now.

"Shet." Shaquille O'Neal scolded with a black face. No matter whether Kayle made a penalty or not, the Barkley team had already overtaken the score.

This time became the O'Neal team behind.

When Kajia made a free throw, Barkley overtook the lead and turned into a 2-point lead.

O'Neal immediately called a timeout, and when the players came to take him off the court, he raised his face with a serious expression and said, "Guys, we were overtaken, we were ahead by more than two quarters, and we were overtaken. This is really bad. now, isn't it?"

Several players looked at Owen intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Owen even more embarrassed. How could it be like I was overtaken because of me, wasn't it because the opponent had stolen one?

Of course, it's not just because of one steal, but also because Irving and Xiaoka competed with each other during this time, playing a little alone, and he did it himself when he got the ball.

Sometimes teammates have better chances.

And even if we don't talk about who has a better chance and who is more certain, this is the rookie game. We are called O'Neal, not your Cavaliers. No one stipulates that we have to serve you.

What's more, it's not just you Owen who are interested in mvp.

The O'Neal team has a lot of back line talents, Lillard and Walker, these two are not people who are willing to be younger brothers.

Even Waiters, the little brother of the Cavaliers, actually has some ideas about mvp, but it's not his turn anyway.

O'Neal didn't blame Owen, but just thought about it and replaced Owen. Anyway, there are many linebackers, so I'm not afraid that no one will rotate.

......

After a while, the pause ends.

The two sides returned to the court, and the atmosphere of the game became a little more serious.

At the same time, the lineup of both sides has changed. O'Neal's Owen was replaced, while the small card of the Barkley team remained on the court.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Lillard struck a three-pointer.

Vucevic won the rebound and passed it to Thomas, and both sides began to replace the bench. After Thomas arrived in the frontcourt, he subconsciously looked at Xiaoka, saw Xiaoka open his hand, and immediately passed the ball to Xiaoka.

Seeing this scene, Qin Hao couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Xiaoka has established his prestige and looks like a core player."

From the second quarter, Xiaoka's performance was extremely good, both on offense and on defense, he did a great job.

And Xiaoka always takes the lead, starting from defense, not like Irving, who controls the ball and attacks by himself.

In addition, Xiaoka has averaged 16.8 points per game this season, and is another second-year player. Among the Barkley players, others are not as good as Xiaoka in terms of qualifications and personal data. With Barkley's attention and trust, of course, Xiaoka has become the boss of this team.
