Chapter 210 The aftermath of the sixth challenge!

During the 11 challenges, Xu Lang discovered a new function of his privilege.

That is, the timing of the Cavaliers' players can be arranged at will.

Of course, it's just timing. Everyone's playing time is fixed. If this person's non-playing time has been reduced to zero, then no matter how Xu Lang adjusts, he has to play!

"It's just how to help the Cavaliers get enough lead when playing with those two goods at the same time?"

Xu Lang recalled the best performance among the past 11 challenges.

It's just that when he played, he helped the Cavaliers get a three-point lead and felt a headache.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later, anyway, it is impossible to challenge again in the short term now."

Xu Lang felt like he was in the mental state of staying up for several nights and having crazy sports with the opposite sex, so he also put down the task of this classic competition first!
Compared with the excitement when he just won this classic game, Xu Lang now has no excitement at all when he found out that he can receive three high-level task rewards, and Xu Lang is even full of regret and helplessness in the inside.

"If I knew this earlier, I might as well just give me a normal A+ level task reward!"

Of course, that being said, Xu Lang will not and cannot change his reward now.

After passing 11 challenges, Xu Lang's mental state as if his kidneys were overdrawn made him unable to continue the challenge of classic games in a short period of time.

At the same time, its strength in real life and its performance in the game have been affected to a certain extent.

"Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Mike Woodson looked at Xu Lang who was in a bad state of mind when he was off the court, and said worriedly!
On the second day after 11 challenging missions, the Eagles started their journey in February.

At the beginning of February, the Eagles' opponent in the first game was the Bulls, the bottom team in the Eastern Conference!

Speaking of which, before this game, the Eagles had already played two games with the Bulls. In those two games, the Eagles won the game with a big lead.

Therefore, for this game, the Eagles are basically inevitable.

The Bulls this season, after picking Bruce Thomas and Rondo with high picks in this year's draft, had a good record at the beginning of the season, and Bruce Thomas, the No. [-] pick, played fairly well.

Without Aldridge's sudden emergence, Thomas might have been the fourth-best player among rookies this year.

Especially in November, Bruce Thomas' explosive physical fitness, coupled with Hinrich, a perimeter player whose overall strength is close to the All-Star level, made the Bulls once among the ranks of playoff teams.

And Bruce Thomas' personal data was once close to the 11+20 level in November.

If Xu Lang, Yi Jianlian, and Brandon Roy hadn't exploded at the same time during that time, the grand occasion of Washington's trio dominating the rookie ranking list might have been briefly broken.

It's just that as Bruce Thomas played more and more games in the NBA, he was known and studied by more and more NBA teams.

Bruce Thomas' way of playing purely by physical fitness was immediately restrained and targeted.

Bruce Thomas' physical fitness may be the only one in the NCAA, and there are not even many players who can match it.

But in the NBA, a league where a fringe player is randomly pulled out, and they are all former star players.

Bruce Thomas' physical fitness is not so dominant.

In the current NBA league, there are not 100 players with stronger physical fitness than Bruce Thomas, but there are also 50 players.

Therefore, when the physical fitness is not dominant, Bruce Thomas will easily be found by the coaching staff of the major NBA teams.

And when Bruce Thomas' biggest offensive weapon and game weapon were thoroughly researched and targeted.

The fake playoff-caliber performance that the Bulls showed early in the season was immediately punctured.

Then the Bulls, who were still in the playoffs in November, fell to the bottom three in the Eastern Conference by the end of December.

Of course, judging from the Bulls' player configuration and strength this season, although it is not a playoff-level team.

But the record is not so bad.

Who would have thought that this year's Eastern Conference teams would suddenly become so competitive!

Not to mention teams that already have the strength of a playoff team.

The Eagles, which had just completed their reconstruction this year, were traded to Zach Randolph's Celtics, falling from the ranks of the playoffs to the ninth Pacers in the East.

Howard, who has grown into an All-Star blue-collar center, leads the Magic.

Waiting for the rise of these teams has made the competition for the playoff spots in the Eastern Conference this year much more intense.

This has led to the fact that although the overall strength has improved compared to last season, the Bulls have not improved much, and their overall record has not improved much compared to last season.

And returning to this game, because in the first two games, the Eagles defeated the Bulls with a lead of more than [-] points.

Therefore, for this game, all the players of the Eagles, including the coaching staff, did not feel that it would be a difficult game before the game started.

However, just when all the Eagles players felt full of confidence in winning this game.

In this game, the Bulls not only did not fall behind at the end of the halftime game, but also took a three-point lead.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that Hinrich, the head player of the Bulls, is indeed in good enough state in this game.

At the end of the halftime game, Hinrich had scored 15 points, 6 rebounds and [-] assists.

However, if only relying on Hinrich's performance, the Bulls can only face the Hawks at halftime without falling behind too much.

And the reason why this game really allowed the Bulls to take the lead at the end of the half is that Xu Lang's performance in the first half was a bit poor and unexpected!

As the tactical core of the entire Eagles, the engine of the team's offensive end, and the solid backing of the defensive end, Xu Lang's performance in the first half of the game was definitely substandard.

In fact, when he felt that his mental state was not good yesterday, Xu Lang had already expected that he might not perform very well in today's game, but Xu Lang did not expect to perform so badly.

In the first quarter of the game, when Xu Lang faced Hinrich, although he didn't play particularly well, he performed quite normally.

After all, at the end of the first quarter, Xu Lang still scored 6 points, 1 rebound, and 3 assists.

And leading the Eagles is still in the leading position.

If the performance continues according to this kind of data, Xu Lang can still get the average data of 25+5+10 at the end of the game.

But after the first quarter of the game, entering the rotation time, when Xu Lang faced Rondo for a few minutes, he suddenly exposed his weakness.

Compared with Bruce Thomas, who got the starting position as soon as he came to the Bulls.

In the Bulls, Rondo, who mainly competed with other players on the bench for playing time, had a relatively miserable life.

Fortunately, after all, it was the player selected by the Bulls with the 16th overall pick.

After Rondo showed good enough defensive ability and field control passing ability, he gradually gained a firm foothold on the Bulls' bench.

After stabilizing his playing time with the Bulls, Rondo naturally set his sights on the starting position.

Then, Rondo began to frantically study the starting perimeter players of the major NBA teams to find their abilities and strengths that are better than those of the team's perimeter players except Hinrich.

And Xu Lang, who has been in the limelight this season and has always dominated the rookie list this year, is naturally Rondo's key research object!
But the more he studied Xu Lang's performance in the NBA, the more Rondo felt a sense of powerlessness.

If it was before entering the NBA, Rondo might not have much feeling for Xu Lang's performance in his rookie season.

After all, Xu Lang was a dazzling member in the ncaa competition.

But now after Rondo felt the intensity and competitive pressure of the NBA, he immediately understood how big the gap in strength was between himself and Xu Lang now!

So Rondo himself didn't think about any good results when he was sent by his coach to defend Xu Lang during the rotation time.

In fact, it is true.

In the first two games against the Eagles, it was not that Rondo had not defended Xu Lang, but he was still blown out by Xu Lang.

Rondo's defensive ability, which ranks among the top three in the Bulls, is like paper when facing Xu Lang.

However, this time, when Rondo defended Xu Lang, he had a different feeling.

I don't know if it was Rondo's illusion, but this time when he faced Xu Lang again.

Rondo felt that Xu Lang could block some offensive moves that he could not defend at all!

And what made Rondo even more incredible was that he actually completed a frontal steal in a one-on-one defense with Xu Lang.

"So, I became stronger!"

Rondo touched his head, which had lost some hair recently, and thought a little uncertainly.

But in fact, it's not that Rondo has become stronger, but that Xu Lang's game state is not very good in this game.

This poor state of play was not due to Xu Lang's physical exhaustion or lack of offensive skills.

It's purely because Xu Lang's mental state is exhausted, and he will appear in a state of running away from time to time during the game.

If I have to give an example, Xu Lang is now like Odom in a normal state, sometimes concentrating and sometimes not concentrating.

As the team's brain, when Xu Lang's game is not focused, it will have a huge impact on the operation of the Eagles' entire tactical system and the rigor of this defensive system.

That is to say, the opponent of the Eagles in this game is the Bulls, a team that is not too strong in itself.

Otherwise, with Xu Lang's mental state in the second quarter, it is very likely that the Bulls will directly enter the game into garbage time at the end of halftime.

And this is not over, as the physical fitness continues to decline.

Xu Lang found that his inattention was becoming more and more frequent.

This is one of the main reasons why at the end of the first quarter, when the Eagles still had a two-point lead, the scores of the two teams suddenly changed in the second quarter.

Fortunately, after the intermission, Xu Lang's physical fitness began to recover.

But I still feel a little vague mental state.

Xu Lang knew that he needed to make some changes in the second half of the game!

Otherwise, it is estimated that the Eagles will lose this game.

"Since you can't concentrate mentally, let's rely on physical instinct."

Then, in the second half of the game, Xu Lang suddenly changed his playing style.

From a skilled outside player who is mainly based on technology and supplemented by body, he has become a physical player like LeBron James.

And in the second half of the game, Xu Lang also began to reduce his organizational tasks as much as possible, handing over more organizational tasks to Darko Milicic and Jose Calderon who replaced Tony Allen.

Facts have proved that Xu Lang's physical condition is fine, it's just that he can't give full play to his physical and strength advantages because of lack of concentration.

And when Xu Lang didn't need to do everything in a big way, his requirement for mental concentration began to decrease a little.

Therefore, in the third quarter, the game gradually turned to off-ball play, and Xu Lang, who competed with physical talent.

After changing the decline in the first half of the game, he scored 15 points, four rebounds, and one assist in a single quarter.

After Xu Lang played normally, the Eagles regained control of the rhythm of the game.

In the end, at the end of the three quarters, the Eagles not only evened the score gap between the two teams, but also took a four-point lead.

After solving the problem of his mental concentration, Xu Lang was not so embarrassed when facing Rondo's defense!
Even Xu Lang's pure physical talent made his suppression of Rondo more obvious in this game!

In a simple and rough physical confrontation, Xu Lang suppressed Rondo. In a simple competition of speed, Xu Lang suppressed Rondo. In a simple competition of strength, Xu Lang suppressed Rondo.

Then, Rondo, who was overwhelmed by Xu Lang's skills in the first two games, ushered in Xu Lang's more violent attack and more embarrassing defensive performance in this game.
