I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 111 Under the Basket Area, No Flying

The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.

Li Xuan went into battle again, and as soon as he came up, he faced the Suns' backup small forward Casey Jacobson's defense and hit a jumper.

As a second-year rookie, Casey Jacobson is 198 cm tall. He has average offensive ability and average defensive ability. He averaged 6 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, which is a passable substitute.

Looking back, Stoudemire singled Bradley in the low post, using flexible footwork, turned around and passed Bradley, came to the basket and stood up, dunking the ball into the basket with both hands.

After dunking, Stoudemire raised his head to the sky and roared, venting his depression.

At this moment, Li Xuan came over and said, "It's just a dunk. See how excited you are. I've never seen the big world."

Stoudemire clenched his fist and responded: "Don't be too happy, the game is not over yet, I will catch up."

"Then I look forward to your wonderful performance, and I hope you don't let me down." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he ran to the frontcourt quickly.

The Mavericks attacked, Delk dribbled the ball to the three-point line, saw Li Xuan come out of the pocket, and immediately passed the ball.

Li Xuan, who ran beyond the three-point line, received the pass, stood on tiptoes, raised his arms, and made a shooting posture, waiting for the chasing player to be fooled.

Due to lack of experience and a little nervousness, the second-year show Jacobsen immediately rushed forward to interfere.

Seeing this, Li Xuan raised the corner of his mouth, took the ball back, dribbled past Jacobsen, and broke through to the inside.

Stoudemire near the penalty area immediately rushed to make up the defense. He didn't want to see this annoying guy ravaging his own basket.

Seeing Stoudemire running out, Li Xuan immediately threw the ball to the basket.

When Stoudemire saw this situation, it was too late to rush back to defend.

Bradley rose from the basket, caught the basketball in the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

"Beautiful! Wonderful alley-oop cooperation, Li's vision is very good, and the passing is also very accurate." Cole explained excitedly in the commentary booth.

In the next round, Stoudemire beat Bradley in a low position again, but this time he failed because Li Xuan came to help defend the pincer attack.

Facing the pincer attack, Stoudemire was a little flustered. He didn't have the ability to respond, so he could only wait for his teammates to come to respond.

But Li Xuan would not give Stoudemire a chance to wait. He suddenly stretched out his long arms and picked the ball away from bottom to top.

"Steal, Amare made a double-team error."

After Li Xuan grabbed the basketball, he passed it out immediately, and then ran to the frontcourt.

Delk quickly dribbled forward, observed the position of his teammates, and passed the ball forward.

Lagabel, who ran near the serving line, received the pass and quickly rushed to the basket, relying on "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa to score a layup.

23: 34!

In the next few rounds, Stoudemire failed to take advantage of the interior. The nasty Mavericks No. 10 almost double-teamed him to autism.

The Suns stretched their hips on the inside, but fortunately the outside line was accurate, otherwise the score would have been pulled away.

After playing for about 4 minutes in the second quarter, the head coaches of both sides sent the main players on the field, ready to compete.

After the substitutions and adjustments, Marbury singled Nash as soon as he came up, and immediately jumped up and shot after halfway through his body.

The basketball bumped into the basket and scored 2 points.

33: 42!

The Mavericks responded quickly, and Nowitzki received the ball in the low post. After shaking a few times, he turned over and hit a jumper, which made Stoudemire lose his temper.

In the next round, Stoudemire came to the high position on the right and asked for the ball. He didn't believe that nasty guy came to help defend the double-team.

This time, Marbury passed the ball, and the ball cannot be played by himself, otherwise it will arouse the public indignation of his teammates.

After Stoudemire received the ball, he singled Nowitzki face-to-face. After a few trials, he quickly started to break through the penalty area.

Nowitzki hurriedly moved laterally to block, extending his arms to interfere with Stoudemire's dribble.

During this period, the NBA has not abolished the HC rule, allowing defenders to use their hands to prevent offensive players from breaking through.

After Stoudemire was disturbed, he almost dribbled the ball away, staggered to protect the ball, bumped Nowitzki away, and shot a mid-range jumper.

The basketball rebounded into the basket and scored 2 points.

35: 44!

After scoring the goal, Stoudemire looked around, wanting to make a fuss with Li Xuan, but saw that he had already run past the half-court, and thought something was wrong in his heart.

The Mavericks grabbed the baseline ball, Nash flicked the ball forward, and the basketball found Li Xuan as accurately as an intercontinental missile.

After Li Xuan received the pass, he dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, immediately pulled up, and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

35: 47!

"Beautiful! Every time I see this kind of ball, my heart can't help but tremble slightly. Only a big heart like Li will not be affected. This is because I am quite confident in my shooting ability." Cole praised.

Looking back, the Suns wanted to return a three-pointer, but failed.

Marbury was outside the three-point line. After making a large crossover, he pulled up directly and shot a three-pointer. It was a very cancerous style of play.

With a bang, strike with anger!
The Mavericks protected the backcourt rebound, Nash took a dribble and passed the ball to the frontcourt.

After Finley received the ball, he didn't stick the ball and threw it directly outside the penalty area.

Li Xuan, who ran near the free throw line, immediately speeded up, rushed to the penalty area, soared into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air, and dunked into the basket with one hand.

"With a smooth attack, the Mavericks played a show time moment." Cole explained loudly excitedly.

On the Suns bench, assistant coach D'Antoni's eyes lit up. Isn't this the 7-second ultimate fast break he has been pursuing?I didn't expect to be brought out by the old Nelson. I really envy the old guy who has two excellent players, Nash and Lee.

That's right, D'Antoni thought in his heart that the Mavericks' quick counterattack all depended on Li Xuan and Nash, and the others could also play the effect just now.

The game continues and the Suns attack.

In this round, Stoudemire received a pass near the middle distance on the right. He was going to use his athletic ability to end the offense. In fact, he planned to do so most of the time today, but the effect was not very good.

Stoudemire, who was holding the ball in the middle distance, saw that Li Xuan was still entangled with Hardaway on the outside, so he rushed to attack and rushed towards the penalty area.

Nowitzki moved quickly and posted it up, but Stoudemire still relied on his explosive jumping ability to forcefully take off and attack the frame without completely getting rid of the defense.

At this time, Nowitzki couldn't admit his cowardice, and jumped up, tried to fight in the air, and stretched his arms to interfere.

After the body contact, Stoudemire couldn't fully jump up, and at the same time, he couldn't keep his balance after the body confrontation, so he smashed the ball to the basket cruelly.

At this moment, Li Xuan quickly rushed to the penalty area, took off vigorously, flew past Xiaosi, and stretched his arms to interfere.

Clap!
The basketball in Stoudemire's hand was shot off by Li Xuan and flew out of the baseline.

After the basketball was blocked, Stoudemire also completely lost his center of gravity because of the fierce confrontation, and fell to the floor unsteadily.

After Li Xuan landed, he condescendingly said to Stoudemire: "Flying is prohibited in the basket area!"

Stoudemire, who was lying on the floor, was so angry that he wanted to get up and fight, but when he saw the Mavericks players surrounding him, he immediately gave up, lay down on the floor and pretended to be dead, waiting for his teammates to help him.

After waiting for a while, Stoudemire saw that no teammates came to help, so he could only get up by himself, and walked to join his teammates in shame.
