I'm king in the basket

Chapter 258 The Last Hour

Reggie Evans was sitting on the bench. He never thought he would be so close to a championship one day.

For a player like him, the championship has always been something that is expected but unattainable.

It's hard to find an NBA player who is more "loose" than Evans: he is rickety, has a vulgar appearance, and his gestures and gestures reveal wretchedness; He can't shoot well; his style of play is dirty and rampant, and he seems to be the old enemy of basketball aesthetics; even in rebounding, the only thing he is proud of, he can't squeeze into the list because of his playing time.
A player like him, functional and cheap, although not an indispensable task for the team, there is always a place for him in the NBA.

So he received a salary a little more than the veteran's basic salary, struggled, and played in the league for nearly ten years.

There has never been a lack of such players in the history of the NBA who only rely on one skill to make a living, but most of them are just passers-by. Few of them can stay in the league for ten years like Evans, because Evans has done It's almost perfect.

In the NBA, there is a "non-mainstream" statistic called rebound rate. The simple explanation is that when a player is on the court, the number of rebounds he grabs accounts for the proportion of the total number of rebounds that can be contested.Different from those traditional statistics of total rebounds, average rebounds per game and even rebounds per 48 minutes, the rebound rate has nothing to do with your playing time, the opponent's shooting percentage and the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game. It can be said that this is the most real Data reflecting rebounding ability.

In this data, Evans can be ranked second in NBA history, second only to the most famous rebounding king - Dennis Rodman.

This is the fundamental reason why he was able to gain a foothold in the NBA.

But such a strong rebounding ability can't make him stay in one place, so he always changes teams, until he comes to Toronto and befriends Li Xing, he finally has a reason not to be traded "with Li Xing" Well, the management can take care of Li Xing's emotions and can only keep him."

"Reggie, what are you getting excited about?"

A rookie like Stephenson naturally couldn't understand Evans. He didn't know what was so exciting about it. Although the championship was close at hand, the game was not hard.

It can be said that the entire playoffs played relatively smoothly.

There have been failures and difficulties, but they have overcome them all.

The heat and the Mavericks did not cause them as much trouble as imagined. There are two important reasons: James lost when he played the Heat; Nowitzki was defeated by Li Xingwan when he played the Mavericks.

So Stephenson felt relaxed.

Is Evans just feeling the finals?He knew Stephenson wouldn't understand, so he didn't say much.

"You kid, let me watch the game obediently!" Evans put on a vicious look.

The same feeling, Barnes also has.

His NBA career began in 03, and it has been eight years so far.

But in those eight years, he changed eight teams.

On average, one team needs to be changed every year. It can be said that he is a real "jersey collector".

There are few jerseys that change flags as frequently as he does, and there is nothing he can do about it. This is not something he can control. All he can do is adapt.

Now that he is about to win the championship, the feeling in his heart is very strong.

The most excited person is Triano.

After a disastrous series last season, they came within a hair's breadth of beating the Celtics, before losing to Ray Allen's mind-boggling [-]-pointer.

In the summer, they lost Bosh, and everyone thought they were going to die, but they changed their posture and came back, even stronger than before.

Ranked first in the regular season with the best record in team history, avenged the Celtics in the playoffs, defeated the thriving Heat Big Three, and played against the Mavericks in the finals to this moment.

Victory is ahead.

What is even more exciting is that Li Xing, who is only 21 years old, led them to this point.

He's the best player in the world at the age of 21 and he's improving at an incredible rate.

Already so strong, Triano was sure it wasn't his limit.

Next season, he will be stronger.

Li Xing glanced at the score and time.

目前猛龙领先22分，时间还剩下3分钟，而他的数据是20分21篮板14助攻8封盖。

It is only 2 blocks away from reaching the first quadruple double in the history of the Finals.

Finals quadruple double.No one has accomplished this feat since the beginning of detailed statistics.

Maybe Chamberlain and Russell did it half a century ago, but there were no detailed statistics at that time, so we have no way of knowing.

The closest to a quadruple-double in the Finals was O'Neal and Duncan.

这两位本世纪初的怪兽，分别在总决赛上拿到了28+20+9+8和21+20+10+8。（前鲨后佛）

This is unprecedented data, and if it is achieved, the reward will definitely be huge.

Li Xing decided that even if it was garbage time, he should make it valuable.

In the next 3 minutes, he will fight for a quadruple double.

Nowitzki was on the court too, panting and sweating profusely.

In order to prove his defense, he tried his best. Although the effect was mediocre, he did try his best.

There is nothing on the basketball court that requires talent more than inside defense. A simple example: a 210cm tall and 213cm wingspan insider, his air defense ability must be terrible.

Why?In this era where height and wingspan are more and more important, the outsiders of each team have elite physical conditions. They are not tall, but their terrifying wingspan allows them to raise their hands and touch those with average physical conditions. Same height inside, not to mention better athleticism.

Facing an opponent whose height is about the same as yours and whose athletic ability is better than yours, how can you stop him in the air?
This is talent.

Outside defense can also rely on confrontation, skills, experience, and even vicious fouls to stop opponents. In addition to single defense, the inside also needs to assist in defense, switch defenses, rotations, and delays. All of these require talent.

An untalented big man can't be a good defender.

Nowitzki is a living example. His height and wingspan are average, his speed is not fast, his athletic ability is not good, and his physical fitness is more mediocre. Apart from his historical offensive ability, his weakness is very fatal.

But he's on a good team willing to make a series of modifications for his character.

The Mavericks have covered Nowitzki's defense well over the years.

But on the stage of the finals, facing an opponent like Li Xing, his defensive flaws became more serious.

Nowitzki is still unwilling to give in, even if there is not much time left, even if they have no hope, he does not want to stop.

He knows better than anyone.

They've run out of chances, but the game isn't over yet.

Ten seconds later, Li Xing got his ninth block, and the victim was Nowitzki.

"Beautiful defense, Lachey is only one block away from getting a quadruple double, let's wait for that moment to come!"

Angus said excitedly.

Li Xing ran to the frontcourt, not intending to attack, and his teammates thought the same way.

At this point, there is no need to beat the dog in the water.

Their lead was big enough to secure the final victory, so they played the passing game on the perimeter.

The ball was thrown back and forth in everyone's hands until at the last second, Bargnani made a three-pointer at the buzzer.

The terrible state of rage allowed him to shoot a wonderful arc in this situation. The ball flew into the sky and fell directly at the basket.

45 points.

Bargnani scored the highest score of the night and the highest single-game score of any player in this series.

His performance is worthy of the title of "Raptors Chief Musketeer".

"Raptors fans, in 2 minutes, you can celebrate!"

Angus has forgotten his position as a commentator, and he is now saying this completely as an avid Raptors fan.

His Stoudemire was grinning and laughing beside him.

At this point, the Mavericks' offense was swift and fierce, passing the ball back and forth, and even if they died, they would narrow the point difference.

Even if there is no hope of victory, the point difference cannot be fixed at this number.

According to common sense, the Raptors should concede a few balls to save face for the opponent, but what can Li Xing do?He also wants the Mavericks to die standing up, but he hasn't had a quadruple-double yet, so sorry!
Jason Terry thought it would be an easy offense, but when he hit the rim, Li Xing was unruly and rewarded him with a blood cap, successfully getting a quadruple-double.

"Congratulations on the milestone: quadruple double in the finals."

"it is good!"

Li Xing nodded secretly, and Terry quit.

He glared at Li Xing: "What the hell do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting." Li Xing looked away.

The two sides could have finished the game peacefully, but Li Xing's block intensified the conflict.

The Mavericks serve again, they no longer go to the basket, and Terry directly drifts a three-pointer from the outside.

Li Xing couldn't interfere, and didn't want to interfere.

He has already achieved his goal, even if Terry rushed in, he would not be able to defend, but unfortunately the opponent did not believe him.

This three-pointer still scored, and the point difference returned to 22 points.

The Raptors continued to play the passing game, and the funny thing was, they were like, "Oh, this defense is so tight, pass the ball," and the Mavericks didn't care.

They have given up on this game.

At the end of this passing game, no one shot, and the offense violated the law.

Little by little, the fans began to stand up.

In the last ten seconds, the Mavericks stopped attacking.

Li Xing closed his eyes, enjoying this moment, and silently counted down.

PS: Li Xing’s first championship, I feel that the opponent Mavericks is a bit weak. I don’t mean to belittle their 11-year championship. They appeared in the right year at the right time and played the best competitive performance. , is worthy of admiration, and it is precisely because of this that I described Mavericks and Difficult to write something cool, because they almost assumed the "world's expectations" to pull down the villain DBJ that year, so I think it is better to end this series as soon as possible Well, that's it, I will write faster during the offseason, because the daily life is better.
