I'm king in the basket

Chapter 245 I'm Right Here, Waiting
It turns out that besides Nowitzki, is there anyone else in this world who can independently use the golden rooster to this extent?
It's not that Li Xing didn't use Golden Rooster Independence in previous games, but no one knew which move he had mastered.

In the first quarter, Nowitzki hit a ball, and he returned a ball.

No matter what method Nowitzki uses to score, he can follow suit and hit back immediately.

It's like a superb imitation show, where the author stands there to perform, and an imitator imitates his movements, and he does it even more beautifully than the creator.

Halfway through the first quarter, something went wrong.

The problem was with Nowitzki, and Li Xing's defense against him became more and more targeted.

It's like a roundworm in his stomach, no matter how he moves, Li Xing can predict it in advance, and block the position before that.

Nowitzki's shooting percentage has plummeted, which usually only occurs when he collapses, or when he is exhausted.

Now in the first quarter, it's definitely not unusual.

Carlisle doesn't want to admit it, but this is Li Xing's strength. He has the strength to defend star players in one-on-one situations.

Kidd and Marion took over after Dirk Nowitzki's shooting dropped.

Two veterans, one playing back-up and the other showing off the [-]-style mid-range shot, caught the game in a daze.

When the rotation time came, Li Xing went off to rest.

"Larch, defend well."

Nowitzki was actually defended by Li Xing and made 9 of 3 shots and no free throws.

Such a defensive effect is something Snyder hadn't thought of before.

Li Xing was not surprised by this: "This is what I should do, coach."

The way of offense gave him the offense of several legendary players, which is equivalent to telling him how to defend these people.

Li Xing knew their offense better than them, and the more games he played, the more experienced he would be in defense.

Garnett in the semifinals was defended by Li Xing in this way, and now Nowitzki is going on the same path.

It's just that Nowitzki's score is higher than Garnett's now, and he also has superstar-level strength. It may not be so easy to prevent him to death in one go.

The Raptors replaced Li Xing, and the Mavericks replaced Nowitzki.

Li Xing came down to catch his breath, while Nowitzki had to find his form again.

In the second quarter, Li Xing played from the very beginning.

Snyder deliberately targeted Nowitzki tonight, whenever he was present, Li Xing would be present.

When the two were absent, the players on both sides played fiercely, but the Mavericks had better experience and recovered the disadvantages at the beginning.

After Li Xing came on the field, he found that the Mavericks actually overtook by 3 points.

Nowitzki and Li Xing faced each other, and he said: "It seems that you have really studied me." "No, I haven't studied you." This is the truth, but unfortunately people don't believe it.

"Even my trainer doesn't know me that well. How did you do it? How much time did you spend?" Nowitzki asked.

"1 second? Maybe more."

This is the truth, and Nowitzki still regards it as a sarcasm.

But the German didn't care, what he cared about was why Li Xing could study him so thoroughly.

"No one has ever pushed me to this point. My physical strength is fine, and my mentality is fine. I was really guarded by you."

In Nowitzki's view, this is the most terrifying thing.

Nothing bad happened to him, but he couldn't score efficiently under Li Xing's defense.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Nowitzki changed slightly.

Why are you so idle when you have thoroughly researched others and are still talking about what you should do?
Nowitzki couldn't understand why Li Xing was able to find out his loopholes so sharply, which was really against common sense.

Each team in the league has specialized scouts and analysts, and can basically dig out the opponent's weaknesses, but none of them can implement them like Li Xing.

Those scouts are well aware of the players' weaknesses, and they can only describe them in words. When it comes to the field, the situation is still changing rapidly. They can target the opponent's weaknesses, but it is absolutely impossible for every defense to be in place.

But Li Xing did it, his consciousness seemed to have invaded Nowitzki's brain, stealing the latter's secret.

Barea vs. Stephenson, undrafted vs. second round pick.

Stephenson's defense was brutal, raising intensity to the highest level from the start.

This is a decision made by Stephenson without authorization. He only has about 15 minutes in each game, and the opportunities are limited. He needs to exert all his energy in this limited time.

Especially when the opponent sent a defender like Barea who was easy to target, he had nothing to worry about.

In terms of one-on-one, Stephenson is definitely a headache player.

Barea was defended with difficulty, and every dribble seemed to be as difficult as a turnover.

Stephenson's defense mobilized the emotions of the audience. This is an aggressive defense and a passionate defense.

For the audience, this defense was so exciting that they had no reason not to yell about it.

Barea hastily called Chandler's pick-and-roll, Evans followed, took the initiative to let Chandler go, and double-teamed Barea with Stephenson at the same time.

At this point, as long as the ball is passed to Chandler, the pick-and-roll tactic is considered a success.

Barea thought so too, his ball was about to pass.

How could he be there?

Barea stared. He saw someone in the passing lane who shouldn't be there.

Li Xing, why is he there?

Li Xing smiled mockingly, intercepted Barea's pass halfway, aimed at Stephenson in front, and made a long pass in place.

"It's so fucking relaxed and happy!" Stephenson excitedly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made a layup.

Stephenson hammered his chest like an orangutan in heat: "You sons of bitches are no match for us!"

There are a bunch of veterans sitting under the Mavs, how could he be so arrogant.

Kidd couldn't sit still immediately, with a face of "change me up, I want him to taste how hard my ass is!"

Carlisle was very sensible, he knew that these old men needed to rest.

The scuffle in the first quarter exhausted them a lot of energy, even if the situation on the field is unfavorable, they should be given enough rest time.

Stephenson can do whatever he wants.

"Sorry, it was my fault just now!"

Barea took the initiative to admit his mistake, and his teammates did not blame him.

"JJ, do it again!"

Chandler also wants to play pick-and-roll tactics.

Barea also felt that it was a pity that he didn't make a tactic just now, so he nodded and said, "Okay, pay attention to my pass!"

They were discussing the next attack in such an aboveboard manner, and Li Xing was also arranging defense for the Raptors.

"Reggie, if they play the pick-and-roll, you switch with me."

Evans fully trusted Li Xing on the court, and there was no reason not to obey his orders: "Okay!"

The tactics of the last round will be played again this round.

"Do you really think we are fools? You will regret it!" Stephenson sneered again and again.

Barea sneered: "Why does Toronto like to recruit monkeys into the team?" "What did you say?" Stephenson became angry, and was about to teach a hard foul when Chandler's pick-and-roll was in place.

The inside pick-and-roll became an opportunity for Barea to break through.

With a body of 183 centimeters, he drives the ball in and kills. This eloquent undrafted pick is planning to score the first point in the finals.

Like a ghost cruising in a haunted house, Li Xing's defense of the penalty area is well known all over the world.

Barea was also sure that Li Xing was not there, so he dared to make a move.

But he never expected Li Xing's speed to be so fast. He had already reached the basket and was about to make a layup, and ordinary insiders couldn't catch up.

Li Xing didn't count as rushing back, he was just tall, with long arms and long legs, and his stride was bigger than others, but he couldn't catch up with Barea.

The reason why this defense was successful was because of a talent that people like Barea couldn't understand.

Long legs mean a big stride, and long arms mean that the restricted area is far beyond the ordinary. The superposition of the two, coupled with the explosive bounce, Li Xing can block the opponent's ball even if he is two behind. This is talent.

"boom!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Li Xing succeeded in blocking the shot, the teammates off the field couldn't sit still, and one after another stood up and yelled.

But it's not over yet.

Chandler, who cut inside, predicted in advance that Barea would be blocked, but he didn't remind him, and the reason was also for this moment.

Barea didn't see him, and Li Xing naturally didn't either.

Li Xing can cover Barea, and today I will teach him an allusion - the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Chandler grabbed the offensive rebound and pressed Li Xing's body to attack.

Suddenly,
Infinite energy erupted from Li Xing's body, his cold eyes fixed on Chandler at a certain moment, and he was able to jump up on his shoulders, throwing the ball in his hand like a big net into a river, catching fish .

It was the scariest shot that ever happened to Chandler.

After so many years in the industry, it was the first time someone could guard him in this way.

Li Xing's cap was not because of two consecutive blocks, but because Chandler jumped up with all his strength, but couldn't complete the attack, and was even countered by Chandler, who took the ball roughly from his hand.

front,

Hard resistance,

Victory.

In just one round, Li Xing proved himself to be a player of another level.

All the people in the audience, including Nowitzki, were one level behind him.

"WOW~~~~"

"What a horrendous amount of defensive coverage!"

"Incredible reaction speed!"

"Awesome talent!"

"Lucky!"

"Lucky!"

The universal jerk became Toronto's darling at this moment, with fans yelling his name hysterically.

Chandler got the block, and Stephenson picked up the floor ball and muttered: "I told you the fuck to stop underestimating me, you have to humiliate yourself!"

Sprinkling salt in the wound was just the beginning. He scored a counterattack and helped the Raptors go from being behind by 3 points to leading by 3 points.

Li Xing stood under the basket, looked at Chandler and said, "No matter how many times you want to attack, I will be here and wait."

He paused half a sentence, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

　I understand everyone's hope that the Mavericks will keep the championship, but the novel is still a novel after all. Li Xing's current setting is strong enough. My difficulty is how to write a cool feeling in this finals.
