I'm king in the basket

Chapter 167
As the New Year approaches, the Raptors embark on a deadly road trip.

First, they will visit the Texas duo, then they will go to the plateau to challenge the Nuggets, and finally they will go to Los Angeles to play a game with the Lakers.

In the trip to Texas, the Raptors achieved a record of one win and one loss.

With the advantage of the home court, the Mavericks made Li Xing five fouls in less than three quarters, so the offense was sharp and unstoppable regardless of the weather.

After Yao Ming suffered the last serious injury in his career, the Rockets did not rebuild like other teams.

In the absence of Yao Ming, with Kevin Martin and others as the core, they dare to fight and fight hard, and have always put themselves in the ranks of contenders for the playoffs.

It's a pity that in the face of an absolute talent gap, it cannot be remedied by hard work.

Li Xing, who was angry in Dallas, gave the Rockets a bad start. He shone at the beginning of the game. After the game, his statistics were terrible 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocks.

Martin, who has always been good at making fouls, was hated five times by Li Xing, and finally doubted himself, and even life, and finally didn't even know how to play.

With a big win, the Raptors came to Denver Plateau.

This season, the Denver soap opera continues.

The core of the team, Carmelo Anthony, once hailed as James' lifelong enemy, began to get emotional and didn't want to stay here any longer. He wanted to trade and he wanted to leave.

The Nuggets are also tough. Naturally, if you want to separate, you can separate.

Since Anthony expressed his intention to leave, the Nuggets put him on the shelf, and the meaning is obvious, the highest price wins.

In such civil strife, Denver naturally has no intention of fighting.

The Raptors are ready for a hard fight, but their opponents are just joking.

In this way, they received another big victory and rushed to the last destination of the trip-Los Angeles.

Although the Heat have formed the Big Three, although the Raptors have been fierce recently, and although the Lakers are not doing well recently, they are still recognized as contenders for the championship.

Kobe is still Kobe, who can strike iron and kill games.

Last season, the Raptors double-killed the Lakers in the regular season and lost to the Celtics in the playoffs, but the Lakers won the final championship.

Some whimsical people will think, "What if the Raptors made the Finals?"

This kind of logic has no reason at all. Senior fans can cite many examples of the season's championship being double-killed by the championship runner-up in the regular season.

However, there are always such a group of people.

They ignore the arguments, they ignore all the opinions that are against them, they ignore the flaws, and they blindly believe that they are right and beyond doubt.

Every time we play against the Lakers, there are stories.

In the first game against the Lakers, Li Xing won the victory, as well as the first member of the Witch Squad - Kat Dennings.

In the game of double-killing the Lakers, Li Xing played the famous "From now on, none of you will try to score goals" battle.

Los Angeles is a big stage, and no matter what happens, it will be watched by the whole world.

The Raptors' plane arrives at Los Angeles International Airport.

Li Xing wore sunglasses and earphones, and a group of reporters surrounded him.

"Larch, this is your second time in Los Angeles, what's the difference from the last time?"

"Will you win this time? Are you confident?"

"Kobe said that you will come with a smile and leave with a cry. What do you think of that?"

These crazy reporters wanted to get something out of Li Xing's mouth, but Li Xing was not in the mood to make trouble. He just wanted to find a quiet place to train.

So, he asked the accompanying bodyguard Dante to push all these people away.

Dante didn't care if they were reporters or what, they were not serious or serious, and even the female reporters were pushed away.

This scene was photographed and became another strong evidence for the media to discredit Li Xing.

For those people whose image and corruption can't be worse, he doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him at all.

Snyder didn't approve of Li Xing's treatment of reporters like this, but after thinking about it, if he was interviewed here, he really didn't know how sensational he would say.So, he can do whatever he wants.

When the Raptors entered the hotel, Li Xing put away his things, picked up his bag, packed his sportswear, sneakers, and a possible change of clothes, and went downstairs.

"Larch, you look very motivated." Matt Barnes laughed.

Li Xing said lightly: "Of course, the opponent is the Lakers. This is Los Angeles. I don't want to make a fool of myself."

"Don't worry, you just show your determination to "eat, sleep and beat the Lakers"." Barnes said.

What the hell is eating, sleeping, and beating the Lakers?

Although Li Xing only played two games with the Lakers, many fans found his performance surprising, so someone made up this uninspiring sentence.

"It seems that I am really old. I used to be the first one waiting for you downstairs."

Evans was carrying a lot of luggage, and he was obviously only going to the training facility arranged by the Lakers for the visiting team, and did nothing else. This old guy made it seem like everyone was going to Noah's Ark to avoid the end of the world.

"Let me guess, did you bring your most precious possessions?" Barnes asked.

Evans gave him an affirmative expression of "you still understand me": "For me, this is all. Wherever I go, these things have to follow."

"What is it?" Li Xing was very curious, what was it so important to him?

Evans laughs: "My first pair of sneakers, my first basketball, my first tooth that fell out, and my daughter made me a paper airplane."

"that's it?"

"Of course not, and the clothes that I regard as my life."

For the sake of his own safety, Li Xing did not intend to comment on these things of Evans.

However, this world really has no shortage of poor bastards.

Bargnani is the kind of person who doesn't even bring any training clothes. He just put them on under his clothes. When he saw that Evans had brought so much, he started to mock him when he came up: "Reggie, you Are you planning to avoid the end of the world with Noah? It’s a pity we don’t have Noah’s Ark.”

"Even the end of the world is not as important as these." Evans told him seriously.

Bargnani and him are not on the same channel: "Yes, yes, I know these are more important, but you know, some things are more important than these external things, such as convenience, don't you think it is inconvenient to wear these things? ? Not to mention some tasteless clothes and disgusting cavities."

Evans handed the things to Barnes: "Look at it for me."

"Happy to oblige," Barnes laughed.

"Wait a minute, what do you want?"

Bargnani finally sensed that something was wrong, and Evans took off his clothes one by one, as if preparing for a ceremony.

"I'm going to beat you up, and I don't want your spit or blood on my clothes."

"Hit me? Reggie, you have to think twice. I'm an Italian national Jiu-Jitsu athlete. The reason why I didn't join the National Jiu-Jitsu team is because of me."

Bargnani was sanctioned on the spot. He struggled to wave to Li Xing, muttering: "Help me."

Hearing his voice, Li Xing's heart did not fluctuate, and he even wanted to help Evans make up for it.

A real partner should throw stones at the time when the other party is facing life and death.

People don't offend me, I also want to offend, and giving the other party a fatal blow when he needs help most is what a partner should do.

If you don't, you won't be teaching him how dangerous the world is, and he won't be able to learn from it.

Li Xing's foot lifted up, but it still didn't fall down.

He sighed, and thought to himself: I am an incompetent partner!
The whole Raptors team was dispatched by the bus to the training hall prepared by the Lakers for the visiting team.

Interestingly, the Lakers are also training here, and the two teams are separated by a field. If you want to, you can also secretly sit by and observe the opponent's tactics.

During the training period, the communication between the two teams is inevitable.

Kobe walked to the sidelines to watch Li Xing practice.

Li Xing practiced very attentively, and didn't realize that he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

On the left and right sides, bordering on the paint area and outside the paint area, he regretted it a bit. Why didn't he choose Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skills?Abdul-Jabbar's hook is the fighter in the hook.

It's too late to regret it now, who told him that he was a fake fan in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about these seniors.

Li Xing chose six people at the time, with five insiders: Olajuwon, Garnett, Duncan, Nowitzki, and Yao Ming.

It's not that he doesn't want to choose more, but that he only knows these five inside stars.

Among the five stars, Olajuwon's offensive methods make him the most handy, especially the low-post spinning dance with eyes closed to attack the opponent's intelligence.

A while ago, he improved the hooks of both left and right hands to 70+, and then practiced small hooks for a period of time.

The small hook near the basket is one of Yao Ming's trump cards, but Li Xing is not used to it.

He doesn't have Yao Ming's overwhelming weight advantage, and this trick needs to rely on the opponent's weight to find the feeling of confrontation.

It was also because of this that he regretted it so much.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook is a magic skill tailored for him.

His physical talent is more terrifying than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Once he learns the sky hook, the entire NBA will tremble.

Especially against the Lakers.

Just imagine, when the fans booed him wildly, Li Xing used the sky hook to hit one goal after another on the head of Bynum, who was praised by the Lakers fans as the No. [-] center in the West, how exciting their expressions would be ah?
Unfortunately, this scene cannot happen for the time being.

Li Xing's turnaround jumper finally hit a piece of iron.

The ball flew into Kobe's hands.

Li Xing looked at the past, looking at the future Iron King, he no longer had the reverence he had when he first saw him.

"If Andrew had half your diligence, I'm afraid he would have ruled the league by now," Bryant said.

diligent?

This is the funniest word Li Xing has heard about complimenting himself.

To be honest, he is not diligent at all, training is like homework assigned by the teacher to him, even if he does not do these homework, he can still get good grades in the exam.

The reason why he could persist in training was entirely due to the influence of Laqi Li's personality, which subtly made him develop a habit.

He is really ashamed to use this to say that he is diligent.

"Of course, I am the hardest working person in the world." Li Xun accepted Kobe's praise shamelessly.
