Left-hand dribble, a right-leg Between-the-Legs Crossover, flowing straight into a Hardaway Killer Crossover. Then he pulled back slightly, gathered the ball for a hesitation, put it down again, and exploded toward the right side.
With Tatum's body still not completely out of position against him, he accelerated into the three-point line. Immediately after, he executed a Powerful Smash into a spin move, gathering the ball and selling a Shot Fake.
Surprisingly, after that entire sequence, Tatum still had not lost position, nor had he been fooled by the fake.
His outstanding defensive awareness and physical gifts gave him the foundation for high-quality defense, while his long-term study of Chen Xi, the League First Person, directly influenced his final judgment.
Thanks to his clear understanding of Chen Xi, he sharply read Chen Xi's intentions on this possession. That was why he had managed to stay in position throughout, applying enormous defensive pressure and forcing Chen Xi to pick up his dribble.
But merely picking up his dribble was far from enough.
Chen Xi was rarely forced into a dead dribble situation, but that did not mean he could not handle it.
Chen was not necessarily inferior to Kobe when it came to forcing up shots under intense defensive pressure.
After his first fake failed to get Tatum off his feet, Chen Xi did not hesitate in the slightest and rose directly into the air.
His feet drove hard off the floor, generating tremendous force and propelling his body upward.
At the same time, his outstanding core strength helped Chen Xi maintain a steady shooting form even as he turned in midair.
Finally, he launched an extremely difficult Fadeaway Jumper over Tatum.
Tatum immediately stretched out his long arm in an attempt to block it, but he still failed.
