I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 166 Activating God-Level Elbow

Chapter 166 Activating God-Level Elbow

"Fuck! Who the fuck is that!"

Artest, who was lying on the floor on his back, roared furiously, and then quickly got up with his hands on the ground, turning around to see who dared to dunk him.

When he turned around and saw that it was Li Xuan, he immediately calmed down, and the anger in his heart dissipated.

This god of killing can't be offended!
"Li, you don't talk about martial arts so much, you even attacked me, a young man in his 20s." Artest looked at Li Xuan with resentful eyes.

Although it is impossible for Artest to utter such philosophical words, Li Xuan's translation almost means this.

"Sorry, I didn't hold back my movements. I thought you would dodge. I didn't expect you to be so tough. You are indeed a tough guy."

When Artest heard Li Xuan praise him, he smiled happily, and the depression of being dunked was swept away.

"You're right, a tough guy has to face the challenge head-on, and getting dunked is nothing."

Li Xuan didn't know Artest's strange brain circuit, but it would be best not to use elbows to convince others. After all, the suspension not only affected his reputation, but he didn't get paid, so the gain outweighed the loss.

At the same time, players from both sides rushed over to see such a harmonious scene, a little uncomfortable.

Is this Nima still the villain Artest of the Pacers who can't control his emotions?

I'm afraid it's not fake!

Nash on the side witnessed the whole incident and was not shocked, but admired Li Xuan in his heart.

He saw Artest's hideous face when he got up just now, but after seeing Li Xuan, he turned into a docile little sheep.

"That guy's deterrence is too strong! Subdue the 'Beast' uniform."

Seeing that there was no conflict, the bald referee who came quickly from the sideline breathed a sigh of relief, and signaled the Pacers players to serve the baseline ball.

Originally Artest was suspected of fouling, but the matter has been satisfactorily resolved, so he will stop pointing fingers and spark conflicts, and just find a foul in the next game and come back.

The game continued and the Pacers attacked.

After Jensley cooperated with O'Neal in the pick-and-roll, he failed to get rid of Nash's defense and passed the ball.

O'Neal, who was standing near the free throw line, received the pass, raised his arm, and made a fake shot. Seeing that Nowitzki was not fooled, he immediately pulled up and shot a mid-range jumper.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
5: 4!

The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.

Nash dribbled beyond the three-point line, observed his teammates' positions, and immediately hoisted the ball into the interior.

Nowitzki leaned on Jermaine O'Neal in the low post on the right to receive the pass, and pushed Jermaine O'Neal with his back, looking for the rhythm of shooting.

The other players of the Pacers did not rush forward to flank and help the defense. After all, the Mavericks are the team with the highest three-point shooting percentage in the league.

After the "driver" gained a comfortable space for singles, he used flexible footsteps to shake O'Neal's center of gravity.

When he noticed that O'Neal's center of gravity shifted forward, he suddenly turned forward and passed O'Neal who was too late to block laterally, rushed into the basket, and dunked the ball hard into the basket with both hands.

Dirk's explosive dunk instantly ignited the passion of the fans at the scene, and the enthusiastic atmosphere reached its peak.

"Damn! It was put on by the German."

O'Neal, who had just rushed back to the basket at this time, was extremely remorseful and cursed secretly.

Although Jermaine O'Neal is one of the best forwards in the East at this stage, this guy is very immature. Once the opponent can suppress him on the offensive end, it is very likely that his mentality will become unbalanced and his state will suddenly decline.

Looking back, the Pacers attacked.

In order to save face, O'Neal came to the low post on the right, put his back on Nowitzki, and stretched out his hand for the ball.

"Pass me that damn basketball!"

Jensley heard Jermaine O'Neal's roar just after halftime, dared not disobey the words of the team boss, and immediately passed the ball.

On the sidelines, the head coach of the Pacers, Carlisle, knew that O'Neal was betting on balloons, and he had nothing to do. After all, this was the Pacers' regular tactic.

On the court, after receiving the ball, Jermaine O'Neal slammed Nowitzki hard with his back, venting his anger.

The "driver" didn't admit to being cowardly at all, and tried his best to defend against it.

At the same time, Li Xuan, who was in the bottom corner on the right, moved slowly, then suddenly accelerated when the time was right, and came to O'Neal in the blink of an eye, forming a pincer attack with Nowitzki.

O'Neal, who focused on singles, didn't notice that Li Xuan came to double-team, and it was too late to pass the ball.

He himself is not an inside player with strong coping ability, and it is easy to make mistakes after being double-teamed.

In a hurry, Jermaine O'Neal raised the ball above his head, trying to wait for his teammates to come to respond, but Li Xuan, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, picked the ball away.

"Steal, Jermaine O'Neal made a mistake in the double-team, Li Xuan successfully completed the steal, and the Mavericks launched a defensive counterattack."

After Li Xuan grabbed the basketball, he dribbled the ball and ran wildly. He rushed into the penalty area guarded by the Pacers and completed a gliding dunk.

9: 4!

Deafening cheers and shouts erupted instantly from the auditorium, and the enthusiastic atmosphere reached its peak again.

"Beautiful! This explosive slam dunk perfectly interprets the aesthetics of violence. If Li Xuan signs up for next year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, I think it will be very interesting." Kenny Smith explained excitedly.

On the court, Artest, who had just returned from defense, had an argument with O'Neal.

"Why don't you pass the ball, I'm already empty in the bottom corner, what a good chance to score, wasted by you selfish guy." Artest complained.

Little O'Neal didn't want to take the blame, and retorted loudly: "It's all your fault, if you take the defender away from me, you won't be double-teamed, and I can definitely score that goal."

On the sidelines, Pacers head coach Carlisle touched his forehead when he saw this situation.

"Fuck! Those two guys are fighting each other, what a pair!"

Immediately, he requested a timeout, called the players back to educate them, and interrupted the Mavs' offensive momentum at the same time.

"Ron, show your tough defensive attitude. During the previous game, your defense did not have any impact on the No. 10 player of the Mavericks. You must stick to him, give him physical confrontation, and don't let him have any contact. The ball opportunity, as for the rest, you can figure it out."

After Carlisle saw Artest nodded, he shifted his target to O'Neal.

"Jermaine, don't blindly play singles, and cooperate more with your teammates. Nash of the Mavericks is a breakthrough point. You should play more pick-and-rolls with Jamal. After the dislocation is formed, you must shoot decisively."

After assigning tasks to the two problem players, Carlisle explained something to the other players.

Back from the timeout, the Pacers took the lead in attacking.

On the offensive end, Jermaine O'Neal followed the head coach's tactical arrangement and cooperated with Jensley in high-post pick-and-rolls.

After Jermaine O'Neal firmly blocked Nash, Jensley used the cover to quickly break through to the penalty area.

Nowitzki immediately moved laterally to block, delaying Jensley's breakthrough speed.

After the pick-and-roll was successfully played, Jensley immediately passed the ball back, and then ran to one side to take away the defender.

Jermaine O'Neal near the free throw line received a pass back, suddenly pushed Nash away from the defense, and hit a mid-range jumper.

9: 6!

On the sidelines, Old Nelson frowned, guessing that the Pacers wanted to target Nash.

But there is no good way, only to believe that the players on the field can solve the problem.

"Li, what can you do? Those guys from the Pacers are obviously targeting me!" Nash said angrily.

"Next time, try to stay back as much as possible, bypass the pick-and-roll from behind, and give Pacers No. 11 a chance to shoot a three-pointer, and see if he dares to shoot."

"As long as he misses the shot, we can immediately launch a defensive counterattack after grabbing the rebound." Li Xuan suggested.

Nash nodded, this method is worth a try, and then ran to the bottom line to catch the ball.

The Mavericks attacked, Nash dribbled to the top of the arc and directed his teammates to run.

Outside the right three-pointer, Li Xuan and Artest are also competing.

After coming back from the timeout, Li Xuan obviously felt that Artest had changed his defense method and increased his physical confrontation, making it difficult for him to speed up and even connect with the ball.

"I can't go on like this. My mission goal has not been completed yet, so I have to think of a way."

Immediately, Li Xuan stepped back quickly, distanced himself from Artest, and then suddenly started an air cut towards the basket.

Artest was half a beat too late, allowing Li Xuan to grab half of his position. Seeing that he was about to lose his position, he could only use small movements to make up for it.

He tugged at Li Xuan's jersey with his hand, and elbowed him very discreetly.

After Li Xuan was hit by the elbow, his speed slowed down, and he cursed inwardly.

"Fuck! This guy made such a small move so quickly, it seems that I have to give him an elbow too."

At the same time, Artest took the opportunity to catch up, reappeared in front of Li Xuan, and said something triumphantly.

"Li, my elbow technique is pretty good. The referee didn't even notice it. It was arranged by my coach. Don't blame me."

Artest dumped the blame on the head coach, saying that he was just following orders.

"Don't you want to see my elbow technique, you will be able to experience it yourself later."

Li Xuan gritted his teeth and responded, and at the same time was very puzzled, why the [God-Level Elbow] was not activated.

Did Artest's elbow not meet the requirements?

Was my body too strong, or was Artest's elbow too weak?

On the other side, Nash saw that Li Xuan had not been able to run out of the opportunity, so he could only pass the ball to the inside.

After Dirk Nowitzki received the ball, he shook O'Neal's defensive center of gravity, then turned over and made a fadeaway jumper.

This time it missed, and the basketball bounced off the hoop.

At the basket, Fortson grabbed the rebound and passed it to Miller to dribble forward.

Miller came outside the three-point line, beckoned, and let his teammates come out to cooperate.

O'Neal immediately ran out and set an off-ball screen for Miller.

Although he is the boss of the Pacers in name, he still has to obey the orders of the spiritual leader of the locker room, the "team soul" of the Pacers.

After the pick-and-roll was ready, Miller did not break through to the basket after passing the screen, but directly pulled up outside the three-point line and threw the basketball in his hand.

Nowitzki was waiting to switch near the free throw line, not expecting Miller to be so decisive.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

9: 9!

The Pacers tied the score, and the pressure came to the Mavericks.

"Relying on Reggie's three-pointer, the Pacers tied the score. I don't know how the Mavericks will respond next." Kenny Smith quickly analyzed the situation on the court for the fans in front of the TV.

The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.

The players of the Mavericks didn't feel nervous, and they still followed the tactics arranged by the head coach to attack, and they didn't play singles indiscriminately.

This round, Li Xuan leaned against Artest sideways on the high position on the right, then suddenly pushed Artest away and ran towards the basket.

Seeing this, the referee didn't issue a penalty, which means he got the previous one back.

Artest, who was pushed away, looked confused.

That's what you want me to see, but it's not the elbow technique!

After getting rid of Artest's defense, Li Xuan rushed to the front of the penalty area, received a pass from Nash, took a big step, rose into the air, stretched his body, and made a dunking posture.

At this time, Fordson, the insider of the Pacers, was the only one near the penalty area, but seeing Li Xuan flying so high in the air, he didn't dare to go to block the shot, and avoided it to the side, not wanting to be the background board.

Li Xuan, who was flying in the air, felt a little regretful after seeing Fortson dodge, and failed to complete a mission goal.

Why!Bai Chang is so big, he is not as brave as Artest.

Bang!
Li Xuan completed a powerful tomahawk snap.

The originally dull auditorium was ignited again by this explosive dunk, and cheers and shouts filled the arena.

"Li Xuan completed another explosive dunk, which is completely inconsistent with his profile. A shooting guard actually played the style of a brutal forward." Barkley joked.

Kenny Smith on the side couldn't help complaining: "Your situation is not much better. With a height of less than two meters, isn't it because you are fighting those tough guys in the paint?"

After hearing this, Barkley didn't want to refute, and he didn't want to play inside, he could only blame his big butt.

The game continued. In the next few rounds, the two teams gradually entered the state and strengthened their defense. The offenses of both sides ended in iron strikes, failing to maintain the super high shooting percentage at the beginning.

After playing for about 5 minutes in the first quarter, the head coaches of both sides began to make substitutions and adjustments.

The Mavericks replaced Finley and Nesterovic with Lagabel and Jamison.

The Pacers replaced Fortson and Miller with Al Harrington and Anthony Johnson.

After the substitution adjustment, the Pacers attacked.

Jensley dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, observed the situation on the field, and found that the defender around Artest had changed, and immediately passed the ball.

Near the high post on the left, Artest saw that Jamison was defending him, so he said something to himself.

"I also want to exchange my elbow experience with Li. How did I become this guy? I don't know if I can resist my impact."

After Jamison heard it, he was terrified. If it wasn't arranged by the head coach, he wouldn't want to guard against this "beast".

After receiving the pass, Artest immediately broke through to the basket with the ball, squeezed Jamison away with his strong body, and rushed towards the basket.

Seeing this, Li Xuan, who was defending in a high position on the right, quickly ran towards the basket.

At this time, the Mavericks' inside line has been emptied, and there is no one in the penalty area.

When Artest rushed into the penalty area, he jumped directly and made a dunk posture.

Li Xuan rushed up after him, extending his arms to block the shot.

But Artest had been prepared for a long time, he didn't put the ball behind him, and he didn't give Li Xuan a chance to block.

Li Xuan, who was flying in the air, failed to block the basketball and flew straight towards the baseline.

Artest then completed a mind-boggling dunk.

After completing the dunk, Artest was very excited. After roaring, he waved his elbow indiscriminately in celebration.

On the other side, after Li Xuan stabilized his figure with the help of the buffer under the basket, recalling the scene just now, he was very annoyed that he failed to block the shot. At the same time, he walked towards the court.

When he passed by Artest, his shoulder hit an elbow hard, and he grinned his teeth in pain, and then he came back to his senses.

I was elbowed?
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

"The next good show will be staged!"
