I'm king in the basket

Chapter 235 Enable
The Janeway connection is what the first quarter is all about.

The Big Three of DBJ turned into a two-person show, Wade's breakthrough was unstoppable, and all kinds of lost steps in the penalty area made the defender doubt his life.

James wasn't as eye-catching as Wade, but his three [-]-pointers late in the first quarter burned like hell.

Especially the process of three three-pointers.

On the first ball, Wade broke through to the center of the Raptors, completely disrupting the defense, and then distributed the ball to James, who was standing at the top of the arc, and scored the first three-pointer.

The second goal was even more amazing. After the Raptors defended a suffocating round, they could only let James complete the buzzer attack.

In the last two seconds, Matt Barnes in front of James was in place, but he made a strong three-pointer against the defender, and then went in.

It was already desperate to replace the last ball with someone else.

It is also a tenacious defense that defends to the last second. Even if James misses, no one will say anything. He received the bomb ball three meters away from the three-point line and shot it.

"Go in again! Tonight's LeBron is a sniper with a guidance device, no matter where he can shoot!" Miller said in surprise.

The magician said excitedly: "This is the ball you should shoot when you feel the touch. We all have such moments. As long as you come to this moment, you will feel that you are omnipotent!"

"That's right, I felt the same way when I beat the Spurs." Barkley instantly turned the topic to himself, which also changed the topic.

Janeway's activity set the tone for the first quarter. Although Li Xing was an unsolvable point, the two couldn't hold back the explosion at the same time.

Just after the first quarter, the Raptors fell behind by 14 points.

Such a difference made Snyder helpless.

Can Li Xing take a break?He played 8 minutes in the first quarter, and James made three three-pointers in the 4 minutes he was off the court.

It sounds a bit contradictory. After all, it was a three-pointer. What does it have to do with Li Xing?

However, as long as you look at those few balls carefully, you can know.

Although two of them were buzzer-beaters, it was Wade's shot from outside, which was the first shot, that helped James find his touch.

If Li Xing was there, even if Wade went in and out, the outside defense would not be so chaotic, and it would not give James such a comfortable shooting rhythm.

It was precisely during the period when Li Xing was off the court that James played his best finals.

To go, or not to go?

This is not a problem. Snyder didn't hesitate for long. Li Xing got up and helped him make a decision: "Coach, please let me continue to play in the second quarter. I don't want to rest."

"Are you sure? But, your physical strength."

Snyder knew that Li Xing's physical strength was much better than before, but he still had a question: "Are you sure you can persist?"

"I can!"

Li Xing nodded, and said in an extremely serious tone: "I will definitely win this game, and we will eliminate Miami at home!"

What he said didn't make any sense, and Snyder didn't know where his confidence was.

However, at this moment, Snyder had no choice but to believe him.

"Well, you continue to play in the second quarter." Snyder made a decision and replaced Hassan Whiteside.

This man has never played in the Eastern Conference Finals before.

"Coach, whatever you ask me to do, I can do it!" Whiteside exclaimed.

Snyder didn't expect him to do anything else: "I want you to cover our lane when Luckey goes out, you know?"

"Yes!"

With Whiteside on the court, Li Xing's inside pressure is relieved, and he no longer has to worry about defending the basket.

"Larch, I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to play."

Although Whiteside entered the active list, he has never dared to imagine himself playing in the game.

Snyder didn't like him, which was the worst of it.

His style, his game temperament, his training attitude, his emphasis on the game, his fighting spirit, his concentration, all of him.

Snyder doesn't like it, but his defense-Whiteside's defense can indeed help the Raptors, and is also suitable as Li Xing's substitute, but due to various reasons, his road to the top is extremely difficult.

"This is a rare opportunity, let the coach look at you with admiration." Li Xing encouraged him.

Whiteside is not so optimistic about his prospects: "Maybe, it is also possible that I will never be recognized by the coach."

"Don't think so. As long as you are willing to change, the coach will see it. He sent you to play at this juncture tonight, which is enough to prove that he knows you have this ability. Now is the time to prove it to him!"

Whiteside was strongly recommended by Li Xing to the team, and if this guy got lost, he would lose face.

Although Whiteside is not the kind of player who pays a very high price, this is one of Li Xing's advice to the management, which is extremely important for the future.

If Li Xing wants to intervene in the affairs of the management, he must show sharp insight now and convince the management of his vision.

The Heat currently use Haslem and James to form the inside line. Compared with the Raptors' twin towers, their inside line is really eye-catching.

Can this height be considered an inside line?
"Miami's lineup is one of the reasons why I support Toronto. I can't accept such a weird lineup to represent the Eastern Conference in the Finals!" Miller stated his views bluntly.

Barkley was more direct: "There is only one reason why I support Toronto. Luckey is my good buddy, so I want to support him!"

Only the magician emerges unstained from the mud, and he tries to express a neutral position as much as possible, not leaning to any side.

"Long time no see, son of a bitch emperor!"

The Liangzi between Stephenson and James was formed as early as Game1.Because of what he did to James in that game, he also became one of the many Kingslayers.

James ignored Stephenson's trash talk. He was playing inside now. Li Xing and Whiteside were taller than each other. He had to choose a matchup.

It seems that no choice is right. Compared with these two, his height and weight are not enough.

"It's really relaxing and happy to be facing you again."

Li Xing's face didn't show any lightheartedness at all, he was stern from beginning to end, as if James owed him money.

Then, Mario Chalmers scored the basket with the ball, and when he flashed past Whiteside's help defense and was about to make a layup, Li Xing, who returned to the defense, blocked his ball on the backboard.

"Pretty defense!"

Stephenson roared excitedly and ran forward with all his strength.

James led his teammates back to the rear defense zone in time to prevent the Raptors from launching a counterattack.

Li Xing was not in a hurry to play a fast break and counterattack. After watching Reti's retreat, he knew that the counterattack would not work, so he dribbled the ball for half the court and handed it to Stephenson.

The two exchanged glances on the spot, expressing their hearts to each other.

Chalmers didn't understand why the big and small Chinese characters were flirting here. As soon as Stephenson's attack moved, he stuck to it and was tripped.

Everyone knows the high quality of Li Xing's pick-and-roll. Stephenson took advantage of it, brought the ball to the basket alone, and scored a layup with Haslem's help defense.

"You sons of bitches, how dare you fucking guard me with this kind of defense?" Stephenson roared loudly.

James said to Li Xing, "Aren't you going to discipline him?"

Li Xing pretended to hear a fart, and asked with a frown, "Why? He's not wrong."

"what?"

James originally thought that only a small character like Stephenson would spit out such vulgar trash talk. What Li Xing meant now, did he agree with Stephenson?
"very good!"

James responded to Li Xing murderously.

Li Xing thought that he was about to launch a thunderous revenge, but he never expected that this guy not only did not retaliate, but was very calm, extremely calm, a bit too calm.

After such a fierce provocation by Stephenson, and after Li Xing thought it was a matter of embellishment, James was able to calmly deal with the Raptors' defense. Li Xing expressed that he could not accept it.

He should be angry, he should be angry.

But now he has nothing on his face, all he has is the idea of ​​picking and rolling for teammates and helping opponents create scoring opportunities.

James blocked Chalmers' side, and the latter immediately took him forward and sprinted forward. The speed seemed to knock him over.

Stephenson's defense was difficult to stop, allowing him to get rid of it and rushing to the basket.

Standing in front of Chalmers was Whiteside, a player who had never played in the conference finals before. He thought that the opponent was just empty and tall, and the pose was scary, so he didn't treat him as a special person when he layup.

He gave Whiteside a little face, "Just because you are so tall, let me raise the arc a little bit, don't be complacent, don't be proud."

Feeling good about yourself always kills.

The failure of Chalmers is not because of his poor offensive skills, but because of his mentality, he did not treat Whiteside as a dangerous enemy to guard against.

It is precisely because of this that Whiteside was able to play the brightest moment of the season.

Like an angel with wings spread, Whiteside jumped into the air, grabbed the ball thrown by Chalmers with both hands, and fell to the ground under the astonishment of everyone.

Grab the hat!

It's a catch hat!

When did Toronto hide such a fierce man?Who is he?
"Hassan Whiteside! He is like a unicorn who has just grown up, and he has the rare freedom to show his extraordinary talents and talents to the world!"

Based on the principle of blowing every young talent to death, the magician pushed Whiteside's block just now to the height of the best block of the year.

Barkley wanted to remind him that similar shots were commonplace for Li Xing, but he was too excited, and out of respect for his seniors, he could only let him go.

Whiteside's grab cap was a starting point, and the Raptors' counterattack officially began.

In the frontcourt, Matt Barnes is like a mouse avoiding humans, ahead of everyone.

Li Xing asked for the ball from Whiteside and passed it to him with a long pass, and Barnes took advantage of the opportunity to score.
