I'm king in the basket

Chapter 228 He Didn't Do It On Purpose
Before the fight started, people all over the world thought it was a terrifying duel at the level of planetary impact.

There are supernovas, hot superstars, grievances, stories, betrayals, and reunions.

But no one expected that this game would start in such a way.

The Raptors were properly arranged and defended properly, so they took the lead and scored 27 to 17 in the first quarter.

The Heat trailed by 10 points in the first quarter, which greatly exceeded the expectations of both parties.

During Li Xing's rest period, James bravely killed the enemy and repeatedly crashed into the inside to score.

It was difficult for Solomon Arabi to stop him. Seeing that James scored as easily as a bag, Snyder still sat on the Diaoyutai.

He didn't intend to replace Li Xing in advance, and he didn't want Arabi to come down to rest, as if he was waiting for something, so he let the game continue like this.

The advantage of 10 points is rapidly reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

8 points,
6 points,
5 points,
3 points.

The Heat failed to seize the opportunity to even out the point difference before the arrival of the second quarter. With a 3-point gap, the two sides entered the second quarter.

Snyder didn't want to activate Whiteside, he chose to let Li Xing play early.

Li Xing has also made preparations for a long time. In this round of the series, he is destined not to get too much rest time.

The Heat have the Big Three, and they can match the time reasonably to ensure that there are star players on the court at all times, but the Raptors can't.

They only have one Li Xing, unless a lead is established, Li Xing will have to play.

As it is now, the Heat are chasing closely, and Snyder can only send him up.

Snyder also has a consideration in doing this. As we all know, Li Xing has a lot of physical problems, but recently, this problem seems to have been resolved.

This is just Snyder's guess. He didn't ask, nor did he specifically inquire about Li Xing's training. He just made a judgment based on his on-the-spot performance.

Li Xing's physical strength is indeed much better than before.

Seeing Li Xing playing, James sneered and said, "I've finally waited for you." "Are you waiting for me?" Li Xing has no love or hatred with him.

What is this guy waiting for me for?Li Xing couldn't figure it out.

Don't think about it at all, and concentrate on the field.

Wade off, James and Bosh led the team charge.Now that Li Xing is back, they are destined not to have the opportunity to attack the restricted area as easily as before.

Bosh faced Li Xing again.

"Do you like the status quo?"

Li Xing usually chats with his opponents, but now he can't help it anymore. Bosh is still playing center, and the Heat have always been prepared for this.

Spoelstra is just a pawn that Riley arranged for the team. He is a pawn who can handle affairs and knows how to please the leaders.

He knew what the leader wanted to do, so he implemented the strategy that Riley had when he came to the team from beginning to end.

When the DBJ Big Three were formed, they decided to let Bosh play center, but unfortunately someone kept saying: "If you kill me, you won't play center."

So the Heat have always played the big Z and Bosh's inside combination, until the playoffs, when the big Z was injured again, this strategy that had been hidden for a long time finally surfaced.

Bosh played the fifth position, James played the fourth position.

Bosh thought he was just replacing Big Z as the fifth position, because the team has no player taller than him. If he knew that this arrangement would become the norm in the future, how would he feel?
"I feel good, I'm very comfortable in Miami." Bosh replied.

Is it comfortable?

Li Xing snorted softly and said no more.

"Lucky!"

Stephenson yelled, asking Li Xing to pick and roll.

This is the favorite routine of the two, with three angles on the outside line, the top of the arc and 45 degrees left and right.Li Xing can generate multiple tactics by going up the pick-and-roll. Others can take advantage of the random movement. Li Xing can split the shot or cut inside and catch the ball. It was a direct layup.

That's the most straightforward way, no need for cumbersome running, no need to deliberately pass the ball, and it can be solved all at once, how good is it?
This time he also planned so, until James' rough foul, he returned to reality from the dream.

Stephenson glared at James angrily, as if he was going to eat his opponent: "You **** bastard, how dare you fucking do this!"

James raised his chest and looked away. A little guy like Stephenson is not worthy of his trash talk.

The little emperor's contempt even touched Stephenson's sensitive nerves. He began to lose control and tried his best to get back face from James.

"Lance, don't dare to do what you want to do, make free throws first."

Li Xing dragged him to the free throw line.

"That bastard, how dare he make such a foul, he wants to kill me!" Stephenson was so angry that his eyes were about to spurt blood.

Li Xing squinted his eyes: "Aren't you living a good life?"

"Does he only want me to die? Damn bastard, I didn't expect him to be so vicious, I remember him!"

James is inexplicable. Is it strange that a rough foul prevents the opponent from attacking?Why is this guy reacting so much?

Li Xing also felt that Stephenson overreacted, but, no matter what, this was his teammate, and no matter how aggressive he was, he should support him.

Therefore, Li Xing didn't say anything, just silently supported him.

Stephenson made two free throws, made the first, and glared at James.

"How about it?"

James looked up, as if looking at the landscape.

The second penalty is also entered.

Stephenson asked again: "How is it? What else do you have to say now?"

James still doesn't know what he's talking about "how?"

Is this person sick or what?
Seeing that the referee became more and more impatient, Li Xing quickly pulled Stephenson away: "Okay, if you have something to talk about on the field, he won't talk to you no matter how much you say."

"But! But I'm really angry!"

What are you doing so angry?
Li Xing was also speechless. James' foul strength was a bit heavy, but that was normal. Who can't foul in the playoffs?As for?
A kind of wheel called fate is turning quietly in the invisible high place, Stephenson and James, two people whose status are far from each other, their grievances will continue.

Li Xing remembered "Lance Stephenson's tone", a skill he will never forget in his life.

According to the system introduction, this is Stephenson's nirvana against James. He doesn't know how to use it. Who calls him a fake fan?
The Heat's tactics are ridiculously monotonous.

"Still playing singles, Miami relies too much on their talent!"

Even Quincy Angus said so.

Stoudemire analyzed: "Talent has the advantages and disadvantages of talent. The advantage is that talented players can easily do many things, but because they can easily do those things relying on talent, they neglect the details. What do they do when the talent disappears or doesn’t work?”

"The same reasoning can be put into this game, Miami wants to use their talent to solve Toronto."

Speaking of talent, Angus looked at Li Xing.

In terms of talent, we also have an unborn monster.

Bosh pulled Li Xing to the outside, and Chalmers Mario lobbed James under the basket.

Reggie Evans, the person in charge of playing against James.He is about the same size as James. Except for rebounding and some basic inside skills, it can be said that he is completely blown by the former in all aspects.

Now being appointed by Snyder to face James, it also makes him feel sympathetic.

But not everyone who plays in the NBA has the opportunity to match up with a superstar like James, and not everyone has the guts.

Even though Evans was a Megatron in private, even Li Xing let him make a three-pointer, but when he was on the court, his private ruthlessness was no longer so effective.

Against James, his only advantage is experience. He knows how to play inside better than the opponent.

On defense, Evans put all his strength into confrontation on James.James felt that he was competing with a stubborn rock, and the opponent was also a master who would not stop once he opened it, extremely cruel.

Li Xing is very worried about the inside line. Although James' back attack has not been successful, his offensive power is not blocked.

Evans couldn't guard him, which was predictable.

James turned around and forced a shot, and Evans could only raise his hands to interfere.

With such high-intensity shots, James is not sure about making them.

Basketball strikes iron, it doesn't matter, James roared, crushed Evans' body, jumped up and took off the offensive rebound, and made a second attack.

Evans' defense is also full of vigor, even if James plays so fiercely, he has no intention of retreating.

The inside is his foothold, how can he tolerate a guy who has always played outside to knock him down in his favorite field?
Even if this person is the hottest emperor superstar!
Evans also jumped up to interfere, but didn't go in again.

The matchup turned into an endless loop, and Evans didn't have enough explosiveness to grab the rebound before James.

With a low drink, James grabbed another offensive rebound and was about to make a third attack.

Some small player who was waiting in the corner for a chance to retaliate, finally came out at this moment, and he was sure that James would focus on offense and not be distracted from other things.

He had no intention of guarding against James at all.

What he has to do is very simple, how James fouled him just now, he fouled back.

So fair and just, I am afraid that no one can find fault.

Lance Stephenson reached out his evil hand and hit James in the face from behind, causing him to lose his balance in the air and fall to the ground.

The pot exploded at once.

Fans cheered for Stephenson, hundreds of people whistled for it, and some Heat players wanted to come up to find an explanation, but they were all blocked.

"Forget it, forget it, Lance didn't do it on purpose, he's just a kid." Said the Raptors player.

This made James' teammates even more angry.

Not intentional?Didn't he make people unable to stand up on purpose, if he did it on purpose, then it's okay?
