I'm king in the basket

Chapter 221 You have to control yourself
The duel between Li Xing and Garnett showed the tragic side of competitive sports.

No matter how powerful you were when you were young, when you get old, the younger one will completely trample your pride under your feet.

Shake hands and pass on inheritance?That's a fairytale, and generally, the stars of the older generation are destroyed by the stars of the new generation, resulting in a straight-forward succession of kingships.

Garnett encountered a similar blow tonight.

As an insider, Li Xing's talent is so outstanding.

But he doesn't want to be talented like those talented young people. His talent and strength coexist, and his skills are superb. In the second year of his career, he has completely established his core position and challenged the older generation of strong players.

Garnett resisted with all his strength in the third quarter, and the result was a crushing defeat.

No matter how he attacks, Li Xing always has a way to defend him.Conversely, when Li Xing attacked, Garnett was tied up and had nothing to do.

Li Xing's talent is so dazzling at this moment. He perfectly executed Snyder's tactics and exhausted Garnett.

At the end of the third quarter, even though Garnett's breathing rate had become extremely unstable, Rivers did not dare to replace him.

The point difference between the two sides is only 13 points. When the game is not completely desperate, they still have hope.

As long as there is hope, there is no giving up.

With this intention in mind, the Celtics survived the third quarter.Their battle is not over yet, and the intensity of the third quarter will continue in the fourth quarter.

For this team with veterans at its core, this is an extremely difficult thing.

For the Raptors' changes, they couldn't come up with a corresponding strategy.

Rivers glanced at Glenn Davis, but in the end he didn't send this funny big fat man on the stage.

"Stay a little longer, our opportunity will appear immediately!" Rivers said through gritted teeth.

Rondo is pessimistic about this.

Except for him, the other teammates were exhausted, especially Garnett and Pierce, who were under the greatest pressure.

Ray Allen was no longer accurate tonight, his shooting percentage was low, and he never found his touch except in the first quarter.

Gotta give credit to Tony Allen for his defense, he did a good job limiting Ray Allen tonight.

On the other side, Snyder was still roaring.

The Celtics are not changing, but he is still changing.

Whiteside, who played the third quarter and achieved miraculous results, was replaced, and Bargnani, who sat on the bench, was sent.

Angus couldn't understand it even more: "Hassan's defensive effect is very good, why should he switch back to Andrea?"

Stoudemire can understand Snyder's approach slightly, but doesn't know how to express it in words.

He really felt that he was not suitable as a guest commentator. If Angus had not repeatedly invited him to come, he would have preferred to support the Raptors as a spectator.

"Andre, do you think KG will continue to play?" Calderon asked.

Bargnani took big strides, not afraid of getting caught: "I don't know, I just know that I'm high-spirited now, no matter who comes, I'll shoot [-]!"

Calderon smiled lightly. Bargnani didn't understand the mystery, but he did.

Snyder is pushing Rivers -- are you going to keep Garnett on the floor?If he is not allowed to play, Bargnani will reap the game!
Although Bargnani's shooting feel is terrible tonight, as long as Garnett is not facing him, he has a chance to get his feel back.

Moreover, even if Rivers put Garnett on the field, it may not be able to prevent Bargnani.

The current Garnett is no longer the Garnett who played various meat grinder defenses against Bargnani in the first half.

After Li Xing's exhaustion, Garnett's fuel tank has dried up. If he insists on playing, the defensive effect will not be much better.

This is a dead end, the only way out for the Celtics is to put their hands together at the same time, praying to the cardinal's spirit to bless them - Bargnani must not suddenly feel it!Hallelujah.

As a result, Garnett still played, which was his own request.

A real soldier, even if he dies, must die on the way of charging.

In the first round of the fourth quarter, the Raptors were still the same.

Move the ball, move the ball, move the ball again, move the ball tirelessly, as if playing a passing game where whoever passes more wins.

The subtext of this tactic is to say to the Celtics: Run!Grandpa run!Let's see if you run away to die first, or if we get hurt first.

Under normal circumstances, the one who died would be the one who ran.

After the consumption of the third quarter, the Celtics' defense has long lost its previous bravery, and the antagonism off the ball is far less intense than in the first half.

After passing it for a long time, the Raptors finally got tired of it.

They gave Bargnani eight seconds for a single, not much, but enough.

"Come on, you son-of-a-bitch Italian bastard!" Garnett growled.

"You are panting like this and still stubborn with me?"

Bargnani said excitedly, a fake move; such a poor fake move can only be used to deceive kindergarten children. It happened that Garnett was weak in strength and his eyes were not working well, so he didn't see through it and turned up defensively. With one post, Bargnani was tricked.

"Your defense is not as strong as you think!"

Bargnani taunted, scoring with a jumper.

"Beautiful! Andrea scored!"

"This is the plan of the Raptors. They let Bargnani rest for a quarter and let him readjust. But KG fought for a whole quarter and now he is going to play again. There must be physical problems. The defense The power of it will also decrease, this is a chain meter!"

"Fuck!"

For Garnett, it is a shame that Bargnani cannot be defended.

He scolded himself: "Kevin, you are not as good as a fucking trash, how can you let that bitch score on your head? Go to hell!"

Anyone who is familiar with Garnett knows why he is like this. This is a paranoid person. If he is disappointed in himself, he will directly yell at him, and the intensity of his words is like scolding a sworn enemy.

No one to persuade him, this is Garnett's habit.

It would be better for him to scold himself and let the fire out.

"Andre, this is how you should behave!"

Li Xing said.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. The me in the first half will never show up again. I will always be your most caring, most reassuring, and most reliable trump card!"

Bargnani grumbled brazenly.

Hearing this, everyone had a constipated expression on their faces.

Should I just tell him the truth?Or hold back?It would be too bad for me to hold back, but wouldn't it be a pity if I poked him out on the spot and took away his rare good state?
So confused.

After the Celtics' offense arrived, everyone was saved.

They get distracted and the defense spreads out while pressing down on the opponent.

This kind of confrontation, except for a young man like Rondo, the other veterans are somewhat overwhelmed.

They fought too hard in the first half, which was Rivers' decision-making error.

They mistook the Raptors for an inexperienced young team looking to do it all over again the way they beat them last year.

The result was beyond imagination.

The Raptors survived their opening offense and mounted a terrifying second-half comeback.

The young men knocked them out the way the old men liked.

But they are Celts, and they carry the brilliance of their predecessors, and they cannot fall down here anyway.

Even if you can't fight with all your strength, you have to fight until the last second.

Garnett finally stood up. He obviously didn't have much strength, but he stuck Banian like a stone statue.

Rondo passes the ball into his hands.

Garnett roared and used all his strength to strike inward.

Bargnani knew his current situation, and he didn't want to be knocked away by an exhausted old man, so he also resisted stubbornly.

Even Garnett in this state is not something Bargnani can stop.

Wanting to further drain Garnett, Bargnani fouled him hard and knocked him to the ground.

Bargnani seldom did this. After the foul, he felt a little guilty in his heart. He was about to pull people away, but found four other Celtics fans running towards Garnett together. .

Two took his hand, and two others lifted him up.

Even if the last bullet is fired, a wealthy family is still a wealthy family after all.

It is not unreasonable for them to be able to glorify at the beginning of the NBA.

The glory since ancient times has passed on them. Garnett and his teammates clapped hands, walked to the free throw line, and gasped.

"Duang!"

Garnett missed the first free throw. He was so tired that he couldn't even take good aim.

"He's tired."

Li Xing saw Garnett's current physical fitness with omniscient eyes, which had reached a critical point, and he had to go down to rest.

He can rely on his will to support him, but as his physical strength is exhausted, all indicators of his body are declining, and the chance of injury will greatly increase.

"Duang!"

The second free throw was also missed.

Li Xing took the rebound, and Garnett slowly came up and gave Li Xing a rough foul.

Li Xing had a chance to escape, but he didn't.

If Rivers has not lost his mind, Garnett should be replaced now.But Rivers doesn't have all-seeing eyes, he doesn't know how dangerous Garnett's current situation is.

Therefore, Li Xing was beaten in vain.

"Ugh."

Li Xing sighed softly, and said to Bargnani: "KG has reached the limit, you can play whatever you want."

"Hit casually?"

"Just use 50% of your strength, save some energy, the series is very long."

Hearing this, Bargnani nodded and said, "It makes sense, I understand."

Li Xing and Garnett are not friends, he just doesn't want to see a good player get injured because of this kind of thing.

Even if Bargnani restrains his actions, the probability of Garnett's injury is not small. His current situation is too dangerous.

Fortunately, 1 minute later, Rivers replaced Garnett.

Glenn Davis came on the field from this. Although the other main players are still there, most people know that Garnett's end means that the Celtics' failure is inevitable.

Without Garnett, the Celtics' penalty area has no more barriers, and the outcome of this game has been decided.
