I'm king in the basket

Chapter 220 Anti-General Army

58 is better than 54
At halftime, the Raptors led the Celtics by 4 points.

Li Xing's outbreak changed the situation of the game, but the Raptors have not had a clear response to the Celtics' targeted defensive tactics.

Snyder's eyes shone brightly, he had already made up his mind.

"From now on, I don't want to see you all being chased by Boston!"

Snyder quickly agreed on a strategy: "Let's do other things in the penalty area, Hassan, I hope you're ready!"

Whiteside never dreamed he would be called by Snyder.

No, it should be said that although he entered the active list, he never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to play in the stalemate.

Snyder looked down on him in particular, and usually would rather use Arabi than replace him.

"Yes, I'm ready!"

"You're going to play with Luckey. When he's off the basket, I need you to control all the offense from the perimeter. Is there a problem?"

Snyder asked sincerely, this is Whiteside's greatest value at the moment.

The Celtics took advantage of the flexibility of the lineup to stifle the Raptors in a wide range of travel and compressed space. Snyder wanted to repay him in this way.

"No problem! I can do it!" Whiteside exclaimed in high spirits.

Snyder looked at Li Xing: "Larch, you're going to play number four next, is that okay?" "Yes." Li Xing agreed straightforwardly.

Some people like this arrangement and others prefer it.

The best man is Bargnani, because of this arrangement, he was unable to start the game in the second half.The joy is naturally Whiteside, he finally has the opportunity to show himself in front of everyone.

The big stage of the playoffs is the most suitable for rookies to fight to become famous, and he played with Li Xing.

Thinking of the upcoming game, he was unbearably excited.

Seeing that his breathing rhythm had changed, Li Xing reached out and patted him on the back: "Don't worry, we can take care of it."

"Yes, I know!" Whiteside nodded excitedly.

"I will defend KG. The first thing you have to do is to control Boston's breakthrough, especially the offense outside the paint zone. If necessary, double-team the first time, and don't give them an easy one-on-one opportunity."

Regarding Li Xing's instructions, Whiteside did not dare to neglect, and wrote down every word.

"Everyone, it's almost time." The assistant came in and reminded.

"Okay, let's go out and finish them off!" Li Xing clapped his hands and shouted.

"Yep!"

In the corridor, Li Xing saw that Bargnani's face was downcast, and he comforted him, "You don't feel good tonight, and the coach also wants you to rest for a while."

"I know, I know I screwed up." Bargnani put away his usual smirk.

It's rare for him to be so serious, but Li Xing is not used to it: "Don't mind, he will use you sooner or later, you are our chief attacker."

The expression that was about to hang himself at any time suddenly showed a wretched smile, and his eyes raised, making Li Xing feel uncomfortable: "Are you sure?"

uncertain.
"Uh huh." Li Xing reluctantly nodded.

"Hahaha! I knew I was very important. In fact, there is nothing I can't figure out. It's just that I suddenly couldn't start in the second half. I was a little upset, but I can accept it. A good player can accept all the arrangements of the coach, just like I do."

Li Xing really underestimated him, he thought Bargnani was a delicate and fragile [-], but in fact, he was not so melancholy.

Just like every American comedy movie likes to portray a buffoon who has no job, no family, no purpose, just for fun and dreams, so is he.

Never try to guess what Bargnani is thinking, because you will never be able to follow his train of thought.

The second half is about to begin, and the changes of the Raptors have aroused heated discussions among the commentators.

"Let Hassan start? I admit that he is a good defender, but he has no strengths other than defense. If Andrea is replaced just for defense, I think this arrangement is inappropriate."

After all, Angus was just a commentator, and couldn't see through the deeper intentions of Snyder's arrangement.

Stoudemire vaguely knew what Snyder wanted to do, but he couldn't express it, it was a feeling.

This feeling became even stronger when he saw Li Xing standing in front of Garnett.

Yes, it must be so!

Has there ever been a 220 cm power forward in history?Absolutely not.

There has never been a tall man in the world with such agility and coordination as Li Xing, nor his lightness and agility, nor his comprehensive skills.

He can play power forward, but only playing center can maximize his power.

In order to deal with the Celtics and strangle Garnett, Snyder put Li Xing at the power forward position.

"You are crazy!"

When Garnett saw Li Xing and Whiteside playing together, he felt bad. Until Li Xing walked in front of him, the worst idea became a reality.

"This is the kind of confrontation you like!"

At the beginning of the second half, Li Xing's confrontation with Garnett was brutal.

He didn't treat his opponent as a veteran in his thirties at all. Every second, Li Xing was exerting force on Garnett.

There are 24 seconds in a round, as long as Garnett and Li Xing are together, their confrontation will not stop.

"Give me the ball!"

Garnett's eyes were blazing, and he wanted to defeat Li Xing with his own hands.

Rondo hesitated again and again. Li Xing's defensive power at the moment made him wonder if Garnett could survive half a quarter with this intensity?
Garnett got the ball he wanted, and with a wild roar, he swung his elbow and pushed Li Xing away.

He took a dribble and was about to attack the basket.

His elbow pushed Li Xing away, but it wasn't enough.Li Xing still had room to relax. He followed Garnett and waved his palm the moment he shot.

"Snapped!"

The ball was just released, but it was caught on the backboard and bounced to the ground in an instant.

Jermaine nimbly grabbed the offensive rebound and made another move. Whiteside yelled and intercepted with both hands.

"Toronto blocks consecutive shots!"

"Their interior defense is tougher than Stalingrad in 1943!"

Li Xing picked up the rebound and their defense succeeded.

"Did you see? This is my strength, you bastards, wash your necks and wait to die!" Whiteside yelled loudly.

Calderon rolled his eyes.

This guy is really embarrassing, didn't he just block a ball?Don't be so arrogant, okay?
But Whiteside has always been like this, Snyder reminded him repeatedly, and he just won't change.

This is a lunatic who believes from the bottom of his heart that he is the only one in the world.

"It's our turn."

Li Xing passed the ball to Calderon, then ran to the front court and stood in a high position.

Let him play the fourth position, in addition to suppressing Garnett, it also has a role, that is, to stretch space.

The Celtics are an overall old team, and their physical strength is not good, so let them be more tired when defending.

Although their defense is already very tired, as their teammates, you must take care of each other a little more, and don't let people think you are joking.

Li Xing's value as a power forward is here. His shooting range covers all angles within the three-point line. As long as he holds the ball at a high position, no Celtics can ignore him.

Once the space is opened, the defensive rotation will become more frequent, and the more physical energy will be consumed.

Snyder borrowed the strategy of the Green Army, one link after another, against the generals.

Less than 1 minute into the second half, Garnett's breathing rate has been messed up.

Li Xing held the ball in a high position, but did not shoot. Instead, he leaned against Garnett with his back and repeatedly charged, each time becoming more ferocious.

Suddenly, DeRozan ran around an obstacle formed by Li Xing and Garnett's backs, threw Pierce off, and came to his favorite position.

Li Xing achieved the goal of consuming Garnett, and at the same time created shooting opportunities for DeRozan.

Pass the ball in an instant,

DeRozan caught the ball and remembered last year's last defense.

Maybe it would have turned out very differently if he hadn't slipped and fallen.

What has happened cannot be assumed. The only thing he can do is to grasp the present moment.He had waited too long for this moment.

"Shh!"

"DeMar DeRozan's shot puts Raptors up 6!"

"He's been improving! He's still young and I'm sure he'll be one of the brightest stars in this league in the future!"

"Lucky, good pass!"

DeRozan yelled.

"Of course it's good to pass it. It would be great if you can make it every time." After Li Xing finished speaking, he gave him a high-five.

DeRozan snorted, "Are you kidding me? I shot 55 percent from that spot."

Li Xing didn't say that he averaged 59% field goal percentage this season. It's too hurtful to say it. Who told him to be so good?
Rivers panicked, the Raptors reacted so quickly and counterattacked so fiercely that he did not expect.

This team is not the same as last year.

Last year, when they had problems on the court, or encountered a disadvantage in encounters, they generally did not react on the spot.

But tonight, after the half-time break, they worked out a rigorous and well-thought-out strategy, which actually gave them a hard blow.

After only two rounds, Garnett's breathing rate was not right.

Rondo controls the scene from the outside, and Li Xing is still competing with Garnett.

"I want the ball, old man."

"You can't win like this."

"Do you only play tricks?"

"Come on, you will be stuck in your position soon."

What is more infuriating than silently despising you?That is a person who has always been taciturn on the court, suddenly humiliating you with all kinds of mocking trash talk with a straight face.

Garnett couldn't bear Li Xing's trash talk, so he yelled loudly and asked Rondo for the ball.

He couldn't bear it anymore, and now, he was about to call back.

Garnett, who lost his mind, played an irrational offense. He could have better offensive options, but he chose the worst one.

Forced a top, twisted his body, pulled up and shot.

Unless Li Xing can be pushed one meter away, such a shot is looking for a cap.

"Snapped!"

Li Xing's face remained the same as the surface of a lake, and he ruthlessly blocked Garnett's ball.
