I'm king in the basket

Chapter 313

"The players from both sides are already in place. Tonight's game has attracted the attention of many fans. I hope they will bring a close contest!"

After Mike Brin finished reading this paragraph, he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know what went wrong.

It's weird anyway.

Forget it, let him care so much?

His partner, groom Albert, laughed so hard he almost thought he had heard wrong.

What did he actually say that he wanted to see a close contest?Who is this scolding?Although the Bobcats beat the Raptors by 16 points last time, who would think that these two teams are at the same level?
What Brin said is exactly the ideal situation in Jordan's mind.

Play a close game, don't embarrass me, don't make the audience feel bored, it's best to fight the Raptors until the last move, that's the best.

The No.1 ranking from the bottom of the face has been preserved.

Li Xing met his opponent, Byron Mullens whom Snyder reminded repeatedly.

A seven-footer with three-point ability.

Due to the existence of Li Xing, every team needs a space-type long man. This type of player can pull Li Xing to the periphery, so that the backcourt players can attack the Raptors' penalty area with all their strength.

Like Li Xing, Mullens is a 09-level player. Unfortunately, this is the only similarity between them.

Li Xing was set as the chosen one from the very beginning. If he hadn't messed up in the national finals and trial training, he would have been the No. [-] pick this year.

Unlike Mullens, who had changed his name to Byron Mullens that summer three years ago as a matter of luck.

Don't want to be out of luck.

The name change was the only news that made the news during his rookie season, which he spent in the D-League.

Compared with a genius like Li Xing who shines in the first game of the regular season, his career trajectory is a typical NBA player.

It is hundreds of NBA fringes like Mullens that make up the world's number one basketball league.

Li Xing and Mullens took off at the same time. He didn't leave the other party with the slightest thought. As soon as he jumped up, he hit the ball into the control area of ​​his teammates.

Calderon holds the ball with one hand, ready to attack.

Li Xing went straight to the center line, and the Bobcats' restricted area was as transparent as no one was defending.

Mullens is seven feet tall, and his defensive ability is not strong. He averages less than one shot per game. Compared with a monster like Li Xing who can block seven goals per game, he really pales in comparison.

Calderon saw Li Xing's cut-in and hit the ball from the outside.

The basketball jumped into Li Xing's hands like a ricochet. He picked up the ball, but Mullens was not deceived, and leaned forward with his strong body.

Li Xing really doesn’t understand that a strong player like him spends his days stealing chickens from the perimeter. If such a good physique is willing to fight and defend hard, he can stay in the NBA for many years with his three-pointers. .

Li Xing thinks the problem is very simple. He has outstanding physical talent, so he always has the upper hand in the confrontation. For a player like Mullens, it takes a thousand times more effort to fight.

"I know the right way to go, but I just won't because it's too fucking hard!"

Al Pacino's words in "Scent of a Woman" can completely sum up those players who can stay in the NBA for a long time, but they are inexplicably eliminated for various reasons.

Sometimes, it's the players who make the choice and they don't want to risk their lives every night to compete with their opponents.

Mullens tried his best to resist Li Xing, and he couldn't imagine fighting Li Xing for a whole game.

Also in the third grade, Li Xing's outstanding performance made people jealous.

At this time, DeRozan's inside cut was as neat as a scalpel, cutting through the Bobcats' defensive formation.

Li Xing didn't need to do anything else, he took the ball with his left hand, hit the ground with his back, the basketball passed to DeRozan's hands, and he made a windmill dunk in front of Jordan that made the audience exclaim.

"DeMar DeRozan's iconic dunk!"

"He gave Michael a look as he dunked."

"Derek, are you his defense?"

Jordan allowed his team to be defeated by the Raptors, but he couldn't tolerate players who were sloppy and inactive on defense.

The glamorous wife beside him smiled and said, "Michael, don't get excited."

"This bunch of trash!" Jordan cursed, wishing to put all these people on the shelves, so that he wouldn't have to pay a dime for this group of people.

Derrick Brown is the only star player on this lackluster Bobcats team.

Li Xing found that he had a score of 82, the highest for the Bobcats.

However, there are several attributes on him that are unforgettable.

Three-pointers, confrontation, defense, aggressiveness.

This person's three-pointers are accurate, the confrontation is fierce, and the defense is extremely sophisticated. It must be a matter of attitude that he missed DeRozan just now, which is why Jordan got angry.

As for aggression, this is a very strange attribute, it is difficult to increase with points, everyone has it, it is difficult to change, the original number of points, the number of points in the future.

Although DeRozan has a score of 84, Li Xing is not at ease.

He himself is a vivid example. Some players obviously only have a rating of 80, but their performance is stronger than that of an 85 All-Star.

Not waiting for Brown to show off, DJ Augustin first broke the Raptors' perimeter defense for the Bobcats.

Li Xing remembered him. He scored 30 points in the center of the route last time, and he was the biggest contributor to the Bobcats' victory.

Tonight, the first thing he has to do is to block Augustin in the penalty area.

Augustine drove the ball into the paint, and Li Xing played hard to get him, as if he didn't notice him.

Seeing the opportunity ahead, Augustine had no reason not to make a move.

"Uh?"

As soon as Augustine made a shot, Li Xing "just in time" turned around, and the ball was blocked as soon as the shot was made.

"hateful!"

No matter how dull Augustin was, he knew that Li Xing had deliberately lured him to take the shot. Now it was too late to repent, the ball flew into the air and landed, and DeRozan was in a favorable position.

Brown's confrontational advantage was manifested at this time. He was obviously stuck by DeRozan, but when the rebound fell, his strong lower body advantage was clearly evident at this moment. He grabbed the offensive rebound and Leaning on DeRozan with a broad arm, he made a good fadeaway jumper.

"This is me!"

Brown roared excitedly.

Jordan looked at each other coldly, which is what Brown should have done.

DeRozan lost all face, and the teammates around him were disappointed.

DeRozan looked around, pretending that none of this happened, that he wasn't getting a headboard or a fadeaway.

"Demar, that's not okay," Bargnani said.

Calderon also said: "It's okay to be robbed of the rebound, but to be shot by the opponent? It's a shame!"

DeRozan was extremely ashamed. This kind of thing is obviously very common on the court. Why did they put on the appearance of "waiting once in a thousand years"?

"It seems that I want to help you avenge again."

Baggnani sighed: "When will you grow up?"

Can this be tolerated?
DeRozan roared: "I'll do it myself, don't worry about it!"

DeRozan is majestic as soon as he gets the ball, letting his teammates open the space for him.

Li Xing doesn't trust DeRozan very much. He doesn't stand very far away. If this guy misses the shot, he has a chance to make up for it.

DeRozan continued to draw gourds, pushed Brown with his back, and turned back with a picturesque turn.

However, Brown's defense is far stronger than DeRozan's. Not only did he stick to DeRozan's face for the first time, but he also actively sought contact when he jumped up to block the shot.

This kind of defense that wanders on the verge of fouls will not be whistled as long as it is at home.

They are already miserable, and the referee doesn't need to add salt to the wound. Regarding Brown's defense, they always choose to poke their eyes blind. If they can't see it, they just can't see it.

"hateful!"

DeRozan shot the ball extremely hard.

Li Xing saw the path of the ball and was sure that the ball would not go into the basket. His reaction was two seconds faster than Mullens.

Many things can happen in two seconds on the basketball court.

It was enough for Li Xing to jump up in a favorable position, catch DeRozan's missed shot, and make up the score in the first place.

"Nice cooperation, DeMar!" Li Xing ran towards DeRozan waving his hands.

Cooperate?

Brown's eyes were tearing apart, the shot just now turned out to be a fucking cooperation?This is too fucking realistic, right?

DeRozan's expression was stiff, and he smiled reluctantly: "Larch, thank you a lot."

Stuttering, which has not been committed for hundreds of years, finally occurred again.

Li Xing misses his little stammer, as long as he doesn't call his name: "Okay, don't talk anymore, that's it."

"me me me"

"Larch saved you, DeMar." Calderon patted DeRozan's butt. "Let's have a snack."

DeRozan doesn't want to say a word now, action is the best proof, if he can't prove himself in the next game, what good is it to say more?
At this time, the confrontation between Bargnani and Bobcats rookie Bismack Biyombo also reached a critical point.

"Rookie, tell me, you should just say a few words to listen, if you don't speak, I won't have any fun at all!"

Bargnani rarely finds an advantage in physical confrontation.

Let Bismarck do the talking?Are the Italians crazy?He will regret it!

Mullens thought.

The Bobcats' tactics couldn't work under the Raptors' defense. No one thought that the breakthrough point would be on the rookies.

Biyombo ran out and caught the ball at the free throw line. Bargnani failed to follow up and shot immediately.

"Shh!"

"Fun bomb! You are so mad!"

The first English sentence Biyombo uttered made everyone in the audience want to kneel and kowtow to sing Conquer.

Bargnani: "???"

"Li thinks I don't abolish abbreviations?"

"I've shrunk a lot!"

"I warned Li, don't mess with me!"

After more than ten seconds of brainstorming, Bargnani turned his head to look at other teammates with a somewhat academic air: "Did this guy just speak English?"

"Although the accent is very serious, you can still vaguely hear a bit of British style"

"British style? That's it?"

Three black lines appeared on Bargnani's forehead: "If this is British, then I'm a fucking Cockney!"
