I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 192 Basketball Doesn't Lie
May 1, Dallas, American Airlines Center Arena.

Tonight, the Mavericks will host the visiting Pistons.

The game was hyped by media reporters, and many fans were already sitting in front of the TV and waiting for the start of the game.

When Li Xuan appeared in the player tunnel in casual clothes, media reporters who had been waiting for a long time flocked to him, asking various questions with recording pens.

Seeing this, Li Xuan's head grew dizzy, and he said, "Be quiet, my time is precious, I only answer three questions, please hurry up and ask questions!"

The media reporters discussed for a while, sorted out three questions, and sent representatives to ask questions.

"Li, there are so many things to watch in this game. It is considered to be a revenge battle for the Pistons. What do you think?"

"I think it's just an ordinary regular season, nothing special."

Li Xuan looked at the reporter and continued with a smile: "We only defeated the Pistons last time. I don't think there will be any change in the result this time."

The media reporters' eyes lit up, and they continued to ask: "Then do you think Big Ben will conflict with you during the game?"

"I don't have the ability to predict the prophet, I don't know what will happen in the game, but I don't have to worry at all, and I am ready to deal with all kinds of challenges, no matter playing or other, I will not lose, because basketball will not lie! "Li Xuan responded domineeringly.

Afterwards, Li Xuan answered another question, squeezed out of the crowd, and came to the locker room to join the team.

At the same time, in the locker room of the visiting team, the players of the Pistons saw Li Xuan's pre-match interview through the TV screen.

"Ben, don't get excited, don't mess around in this game, we win this game is the best way to fight back against that kid." Billups discouraged.

After watching Daben on the side, I was so angry!

This guy hadn't seen him for two months and became even more rampant. If he couldn't beat him, he really wanted to rub Li Xuan on the ground.

But now he definitely doesn't dare to fight again, not to mention whether he can beat Li Xuan, but with the current record of the Pistons, if he is suspended again, it is still unknown whether he can make it to the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Mavericks ranked first in the league, even if Li Xuan missed more than a dozen games, he could still make it to the playoffs.

"Fuck! Let's win the damn game and slap that guy in the face!" Big Ben responded, before quickly changing his jerseys.

The rest of the Pistons players breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they don't fight, as for playing, the Pistons Bad Boys are not afraid of any opponent.

Not long after, the head coaches of both sides took their players, left the locker room and walked to the court.

Amidst the roar of the live DJ, players from both sides entered the field one after another.

After the simple entrance ceremony, players from both sides came to their respective halfs for warm-up activities.

At the same time, the sports channel obtained the rights to broadcast the game for domestic fans.

"The last match between the two teams was not broadcasted. It's a pity. That game was a lot to watch. Today's game should not be bad."

"I just hope that Xiao Li can control his emotions this time, and win others with basketball."

"Although it's wrong to fight, Xiao Li let foreigners know that we Chinese people are not only humble, but also extremely tough. We don't take the initiative to provoke anyone, and we are not afraid of anyone."

"The topic is far away, let's get back to the topic, the game is about to start, we will watch it with fans and friends."

Director Zhang and Director Xu talk to each other to warm up the game in advance.

The broadcast screen quickly switched to the playing field. At this time, the players from both sides were warming up and heading to the bench.

At the same time, the starting lineups of both sides were quickly displayed on the TV screen.

Mavericks starting lineup: Nash, Lagabel, Finley, Li Xuan, Nowitzki.

Pistons starting lineup: Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Ben Wallace, Mehmet Okur.

It didn't take long for the starting players from both sides to come to the middle circle one after another for the jump ball session.

After Li Xuan came to the middle circle and took his seat, he looked at the big Ben who was facing him next to him, and greeted him "friendly".

"Afro, long time no see, don't put on a bitter face and smile, you guys can't win this game anyway."

After hearing this, Da Ben clenched his fist, took a hard look at Li Xuan, then turned his head and ignored him.

Although he was calm on the surface, he was panicked inside.

"Fuck! This guy is really arrogant. If it wasn't for the interests of the team, he really wanted to fight." Da Ben made excuses to appease his inner rage, and never admitted that he couldn't beat that guy and gave up.

At this time, the referee opened his mouth to break the tense atmosphere.

"Li, don't say anything that has nothing to do with the game. In addition, I want to remind everyone present that I don't want any unpleasant things to happen. The whistleblowing in this game will be very strict."

The players of the two teams did not speak after hearing this, and acquiesced to the referee's warning.

This is a basketball game. Whatever the fight is, you should use basketball to solve the problem.

In the jump ball session, Okur overwhelmed Nowitzki to grab the basketball and gave the Pistons the first chance to attack.

Billups dribbled forward, came outside the three-point line to organize the offense, and directed his teammates to run.

Okur quickly ran forward to play pick-and-roll cooperation.

With the help of a screen, Billups breaks into the three-point line and breaks towards the basket.

After Nash was blocked, Nowitzki switched defenses in time, delaying Billups' breakthrough speed.

After Okur screens, he squeezes past Nash and cuts to the basket.

Li Xuan near the penalty area immediately stepped forward to block it.

Seeing this situation, Billups, who broke through to the front of the penalty area, did not take the risk of hanging the ball to the basket and passed it to Hamilton, who was running without the ball. After the latter received the ball, he stopped suddenly and took off to shoot.

Lagabel, who was chasing after him, immediately rushed to interfere.

The basketball bounced off the front of the rim and fell straight into the net.

0: 2!

The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.

Nash dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, saw Li Xuan stuck in the low post and asked for the ball, and immediately passed the ball.

Seeing this scene, the referees were very nervous and silently prayed that nothing would happen.

Stern, who watched the game in front of the TV, was equally nervous.

I hope these two guys are the best at understanding current affairs, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel and punish you to death!
After Li Xuan received the pass from the low position on the right, he leaned his back against Daben, then quickly turned around in the penalty area, and made a shooting posture.

Seeing this, Big Ben immediately moved laterally, and then quickly took off to interfere.

He has self-knowledge, if he doesn't jump, he can't interfere with Li Xuan's shooting.

But when he was flying in the air, he didn't see Li Xuan making a shot, so he cursed secretly.

"Fuck! Got tricked by that kid."

After Li Xuanhuang flew the big ben, he stepped forward and made a basket.

2: 2!

"Good shot! Xiao Li played very smartly. He can use cleverness instead of brute force. Young people have flexible brains!" Director Zhang praised.

On the court, when Li Xuan retreated to defend, he cheered up Da Ben: "Come on! You almost blocked me."

"I can't hear... I can't hear..."

Big Ben hinted to himself, turned around and quickly ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.

Li Xuan looked at Da Ben who was going away, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

"Is this Nima still the big Ben in my impression?"

Without too much entanglement with this problem, quickly return to defense.

The Pistons attacked, and Billups played a pick-and-roll with Daben, broke through to the free throw line and encountered Li Xuan's defense change, glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, and found that Daben did not follow up, and passed the ball to Hamilton again.

Facing Lagabel's defense, Hamilton directly made a jumper.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
At the basket, Nowitzki pointed the ball out, Li Xuan grabbed the basketball and passed it to Nash to advance.

After receiving the ball, Lao Na dribbled the ball forward like lightning.

Due to the previous dislocation, Billups failed to rush to Nash's defense in the first time, and watched the Mavericks fight back defensively.

After Nash dribbled the ball to the three-point range, he attracted the defensive attention of the retreating players and hit the ball to the middle.

Finley, who cut to the basket, received the pass, took a step, and scored an easy layup.

4: 2!

There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts filled the arena.

On the sidelines, Pistons head coach Larry Brown yelled at the field: "Have you guys not eaten? Speed ​​up your defense!"

Billups dribbled the ball across half court and directed Okur to play a pick-and-roll. He didn't want to face Li Xuan's defense again.

With the help of Okur's screen, Billups broke through to a few steps away from the three-point line, jumped up and shot directly.

Nash, who went around the pick-and-roll in advance, didn't expect that Billups would come to this move, and failed to step forward to interfere in time.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

4: 4!

In the next round, Nowitzki singled Okur in the high position on the right side. After shaking his shoulders, he turned over and missed a jumper.

Under the basket, Big Ben stuck in a favorable position and grabbed the rebound.

Li Xuan did not confront Daben physically, and jumped directly behind him, stretched his arms to pick out the basketball in the air, and took off for the second time to grab the rebound.

After landing, Li Xuan found that Daben had put up defense in front of him, and gave him physical resistance, so that he could not easily take off and shoot.

In this case, Li Xuan had no choice but to pass the ball.

After receiving the pass, Nash reorganized the offense.

This time, Li Xuan and Nowitzki made a wall-to-wall cooperation in the interior.

Li Xuan successfully got rid of Daben's defense, and just after running beyond the three-point line, he received a wonderful pass from Nash. Without any hesitation, he made a three-point shot.

Okku, who was still on the move, shook his head helplessly and made complaints.

"This fucker is cheating. He is obviously an outside player, but he wants to go inside to make us mess up."

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the net, steady hit!
7: 4!

"Good shot! Li Xuan felt good in this game, and he quickly entered the state." Director Xu commented.

Back in the game, Billups broke through with the ball and failed to get rid of Nash's defense. He could only carry the old Nash to break through the penalty area.

Nowitzki immediately retreated to the basket, ready to help defend.

Upon seeing this, Billups immediately distributed the ball.

Prince, who cuts to the basket from the right, receives the pass, takes a big step, and prepares to attack the basket.

Li Xuan immediately retreated to the basket, stood firm, raised his arms, and interfered.

After the "thin" Prince confronted Li Xuan physically, he staggered and threw the ball to the basket.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
"Tough defense, Li's performance in this defense is impeccable!" The live commentator said loudly.

Li Xuan quickly turned around and grabbed the rebound, found Nash at the first time and passed the ball, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

This time, Billups was very well prepared. He came to Nash at the first time and gave him a physical confrontation to prevent the old Nash from speeding up.

Failed to make a fast break, Nash dribbled the ball steadily to the three-point line, observing the position of his teammates.

Li Xuan ran to the right corner and made an off-ball screen for Finley.

Finley used the screen to cut to the basket along the baseline.

Prince, who was chasing after him, bumped into Li Xuan head-on, as if hitting an iron wall, causing a burning pain in his chest.

"What did this guy grow up on, his body is as hard as steel!"

At the same time, Nash threw the ball under the basket, and Finley, who rushed to the basket, soared into the air, stretched his arms to catch the basketball in the air and staged a dunk, but found that he seemed to be out of reach.

The flying basketball passed Finley's fingertips and flew straight out of the baseline.

Seeing this, Lao Na held his forehead and raised his hand to signal that it was his mistake.

"Fuck! Li Chuan got used to it, but I couldn't grasp it this time."

Big Ben, who jumped up after him, cursed secretly.

"Fuck! I was ready to put a big hat on, but it was a mistake."

The ball is switched and the Pistons attack.

Billups dribbled forward and came to the top of the arc. When he saw Big Ben asking for the ball in the low post, he felt a little puzzled.

"This guy was irritated by that rookie? Otherwise, how could he be so confident in his inside skills!"

Billups didn't want to dampen Big Ben's enthusiasm and passed the ball.

After Daben received the ball, he thought he should be able to hit Li Xuan back with his strong physical fitness.

Immediately, Big Ben leaned back with all his strength.

Bang!
The two collided physically, and Daben almost lost control of the basketball because of the fierce confrontation.

"Fuck! This guy does have two brushes. He deserves to be the man who defeated me."

Li Xuan behind him yawned and complained: "Ben, haven't you eaten yet? Why are you still standing still? Let me remind you, the attack time is running out."

After hearing this, Big Ben gritted his teeth and pushed back again with all his strength.

This time he didn't hit anything and fell directly to the ground.

Li Xuan, who suddenly withdrew back, successfully completed the removal of the stool. Without any hesitation, he directly picked up the basketball on the floor, passed it out immediately, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

"Xiao Li's defense was very smart this time. He didn't go head-to-head with the opponent. He cleverly resolved the Pistons' offense, which is enough to show that he has a very high IQ." Director Zhang commented with a smile.

On the field, the Mavericks launched a defensive counterattack, and Nash quickly dribbled forward.

Since Da Ben hadn't gotten up from the floor yet, Li Xuan had no one chasing him at this time.

Nash has quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately passed the ball out.

Li Xuan, who was on the move, received the pass, took a big step, entered the penalty area, soared into the air, stretched his body in the air, and prepared to perform a dunk performance.

Prince, who returned to defense, immediately hid away when he saw this situation. He knew Li Xuan's physical condition, so he could only use himself as a background board in vain.

Bang!
After Li Xuan swung the ball around with one hand, he dunked hard into the basket.

The auditorium was boiling, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.
