I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 154 Confronting McGrady

The game continued, and the Magic sent the baseline ball.

Standing on the baseline and serving the ball, Gooden looked at Li Xuan who was waving his long arms to interfere. He was under great pressure. His vision was seriously disturbed, and he would make mistakes if he was not careful.

Director Lu quickly ran to the bottom line to respond, and if he didn't serve the ball, it would be a 5-second violation. Such a low-level mistake would definitely be yelled at by the head coach, and he didn't want to be punished jointly.

Seeing Director Lu running over, Gooden immediately passed the ball out as if he saw a life-saving straw, heaved a sigh of relief, and then ran into the penalty area to participate in the attack.

Gooden is fine, but Director Lu suffered a lot.

When Director Lu received the pass, Li Xuan quickly turned around and stepped forward to form a double-team with Nash, forcing Director Lu to make a mistake.

Director Lu, whose vision was severely blocked, did not dare to pass the ball at all, so he could only wait for his teammates to come to meet him.

But Li Xuan and Nash didn't want to wait any longer, and Lao Na saw the needle and took out the ball directly, abruptly taking out the basketball from Director Lu's arms.

At this time, Director Lu showed a look of lovelessness. Before he came to rescue his "prince", he was bullied by two "thugs".

After a successful steal, Nash quickly dribbled forward, and Li Xuan also rushed towards the frontcourt.

The other Magic players reacted and quickly turned around to chase.

Nash and Li Xuan took the lead, ran across the center line and rushed towards the basket.

Coming to the basket, Nash smashed the ball to the backboard, then turned and returned to defense.

At this time, Lao Na was very happy, and easily got another assist.

Li Xuan, who followed up, soared into the air, caught the rebounding basketball, and dunked the ball hard into the basket with both hands.

34: 45!

"Hahaha, Nash and Lee have already started playing. It seems that they are very relaxed. This game should be sure." Barkley said with a smile.

When retreating, Li Xuan and Nash clapped hands to celebrate.

"Steve, you haven't scored in double figures, you shouldn't have given the ball to me."

"Li, I didn't intend to give up the ball. I just wanted to collect assists. This season, I want to compete for the honor of being the assist king." Nash said frankly.

"Then don't worry, as long as you pass the ball to me, I have the confidence to help you win the assist title."

"Little brother, it's all up to you." Nash responded with a teasing tone.

"no problem!"

Li Xuan exchanged a few words with Nash, and then returned to their own defensive areas.

In the next round, McGrady did not ask for the ball to play singles, but signaled for other teammates to play.

On the one hand, teammates who have not participated in the offense for a long time will complain that he is a cancerous ball bully who only plays singles. This is also considered to appease the emotions of teammates. Interpretation is emotional intelligence.

On the other hand, he is not a perpetual motion machine, and he will also be tired. Let his teammates play and take a break.

Director Lu controlled the ball from outside the three-point line. Seeing that McGrady didn't play, he would do it himself, but he saw Uncle Huo asking for the ball in the low post on the right, and passed the ball unwillingly.

Second Uncle Huo leaned on Li Xuan to receive the pass, pushed his back, and felt the defensive center of gravity of the defender, but he didn't expect Li Xuan behind him to be completely motionless.

This little guy has good physical resistance!No wonder he was able to serve as the fourth position.

Since you can't do it hard, you can only outsmart it.

Uncle Huo used his flexible inside footsteps to fly Li Xuan away, but he made a series of fake moves that failed to make Li Xuan take off, then turned around to the penalty area, and then leaned on Li Xuan to make a hook shot.

Li Xuan didn't take off, but just raised his arms high to interfere.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
The ball was weak, and the basketball hit the front of the basket directly and bounced out.

Li Xuan quickly turned around, judged the ball's landing point, jumped up and grabbed the rebound, and raised the basketball high after landing to observe the position of his teammates.

Uncle Huo, who wanted to take out the ball, had no way to start, and silently complained in his heart: "This guy has so much experience in the game, he doesn't look like a rookie who just entered the league."

Seeing Nash stepping forward to respond, Li Xuan immediately passed the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

The Mavericks attacked, and Nash dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line. After changing direction continuously, he passed Lu's guidance and broke into the three-point line.

Jamison, who cut the basket from the right, received the pass, took three big steps, and after a physical confrontation with De Klerk, who stepped forward to defend, threw the ball to the backboard.

The basketball failed to rebound into the basket after hitting the rebound, and McGrady, who was driven back, grabbed the defensive rebound.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Magic attack.

Guided by Lu, with the help of a screen, he broke through to the basket, attracted the defense and then distributed the ball. Magic small forward Gambos, who cut to the basket along the baseline, received the pass and flew to the layup.

But was interfered by Li Xuan who retreated to the basket and failed to make a hit. The Mavericks protected the backcourt rebound and then launched a defensive counterattack.

After Nash dribbled for half court, he passed the ball.

After Finley received the pass, he jumped up and shot before the Magic's retreating players settled down.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
The Magic protected the rebounds in the backcourt, and Director Lu dribbled forward without rushing, and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.

This round, McGrady stood up and leaned on Finley on the right three-point line to ask for the ball.

The opportunity has been given to you, but you don't live up to it!It seems that only I have come to be the savior.

Seeing this, Director Lu passed the ball quickly. He was still thinking about what to do, but he didn't expect someone to come out and take the blame.

McGrady received the pass from Lu's guidance, changed directions continuously and passed Finley, broke through to the high position on the right and encountered Li Xuan's supplementary defense.

The fans in the auditorium were excited. McGrady and Li Xuan finally had a face-to-face confrontation, and they couldn't wait to know the result of this duel.

"Wow! Lee and McGrady are finally facing each other, Kenny, don't play tricks this time," Barkley said.

"Don't worry, Charles, I always believe McGrady's offense is better." Kenny - Smith responded.

Mai Di looked at Li Xuan in front of him, his sleepy eyes opened slightly, which meant that he was serious.

After continuously dribbling the ball under his crotch, he quickly made a large crossover, trying to pull the ball back, dribbled behind his back, followed by a retreat step, opened the distance with Li Xuan, and then made a jump shot.

The idea is good, but what McGrady encountered was a hang-up.

When McGrady was dribbling the ball under his crotch, Li Xuan had activated the active effect of [Death Coil] to predict McGrady's breakthrough trajectory in advance, move to a favorable position, and cut the ball immediately after McGrady finished the crossover.

After successfully cutting off the ball, Li Xuan accelerated and ran towards the basketball. After controlling the basketball, he immediately dribbled towards the frontcourt.

At this moment, McGrady, who was about to make the next move, stopped, looked at his left hand, and found that the ball was no longer there.

"Fuck! That nasty guy interrupted my faking moment, unforgivable!"

McGrady quickly turned around and chased back, trying to save some face.

From the corner of his eye, Li Xuan caught a glimpse of someone chasing after him, and instead of stopping beyond the three-point line, he rushed directly to the basket.

McGrady was not to be outdone, and continued to accelerate at the expense of physical strength, reaching his fastest speed to catch up, and was about to block the No. 10 player in front.

When Li Xuan came to the penalty area, he jumped with one foot, soared into the air, and tilted his arm catching the ball forward, he didn't believe that he would be blocked by McGrady.

Seeing such a situation, McGrady, who followed closely behind him, scolded Li Xuan for being shameless for dunking in such a way that he couldn't touch the basketball at all.

Bang!
Li Xuan dunked the ball into the basket with one hand, then firmly grasped the basket to stabilize his figure, and was not knocked to the ground by McGrady behind him, and then landed firmly on the floor.

"Hahaha, I knew Li Xuan was the best, and he won a complete victory in this duel." After Barkley finished speaking, he laughed unscrupulously.

Kenny Smith on the side was dejected. In this contest with Barkley, he lost very thoroughly. Seeing the proud face of "Flying Pig", he clenched his fists and could only find his way back next time.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Magic team, Rivers, immediately requested a timeout. In the attack and defense just now, it can be said that Li Xuan defeated McGrady by himself. will crash completely.
