I'm king in the basket

Chapter 324 Success is Passion, Failure is Passion

"Larch, you were actually dunked by him!"

DeRozan's first reaction was not to feel sorry for Li Xing, but to envy and jealousy.

This is something he has always wanted to do but failed to do. The grandson of Turner actually realized it in the playoffs.

How many perimeter players dream of dunking Lakey Lee?

Seeing DeRozan not only didn't feel sorry for himself, but also blamed him, Li Xing really wanted to scold him bloody.

Didn't I get dunked because your defense was blown?
Li Xing was full of indignation, and finally turned into misty green smoke.

He walked forward in silence and glanced at Turner.

Turner saw a little bit of coldness in Li Xing's eyes, he didn't know what it meant, he was proud of the feat he had accomplished.

The same goes for his teammates, which is an amazing thing, like dunking O'Neal.

Although dangerous, if you succeed, everyone will regard you as a hero.

"This dunk is special, Lucky rarely gets dunked in front of someone."

Even Angus said so.

"Just like Derrick Coleman dunked Shaq back then, this dunk will be mentioned repeatedly in the future."

Li Xing didn't expect a dunk to have such a response. No matter how he targeted Turner next, everyone would discuss that dunk.

"It turns out that your defense is so crisp, I thought it was so difficult to deal with."

When Li Xing ran past halftime, Holiday said mockingly.

Li Xing asked for the seat silently, and Calderon also knew that all he had to do now was to give the ball to Li Xing, and nothing else needed to be done.

Just let Li Xing handle the matter alone, and he will handle it.

Calderon thought.

Then, Li Xing carried Hawes and scored a dunk.

Hawes inexplicably bore Li Xing's anger, he had nothing to say, this is the duty of the insider.

As an insider, as a center, guarding the basket is a bounden duty, even if you die, you will die at the basket.

Players under the basket must not only bear fierce confrontation, but also meet the impact from all directions.

"Spencer, are you okay?" the teammate asked.

Hawes had nothing to say, and his answer could only be: "No problem, leave it to me."

In order to repay Turner's debt, Hawes was singled out by Li Xing four times in the next few minutes.

In the first quarter, the game was very anxious.

The whole Raptors team performed well, and the performance of the 76ers was not bad. Holiday played the role of leader, combined with sudden shots, Calderon was hard to parry.

Turner's dunk attracted Li Xing's attention. He did many things, but none of them succeeded.

After that dunk, Turner didn't show any performance. In order to limit Turner, Li Xing deliberately let go of some offenses.

This is also the reason why the 76ers were able to fight against the Raptors. Li Xing was not in a hurry to control the situation in the opening stage, he wanted to wait until the final stage to make a final decision.

With such a start, both teams played very smoothly.

At the end of the first quarter, Li Xing took a 3-minute break.

He could have rested longer because the situation on the court was out of control-a legacy left by the Iverson era. Andre Iguodala exploded in the first and second quarters, first hitting a three-pointer, then It was the steal DeRozan succeeded in countering the dunk.

He scored five points in a row and led the 76ers to overtake.

This is just his performance within 1 minute, and his performance after that is even more shocking.

Like the god of locking, he locked every Raptors outside player against him. Stephenson suffered the most. His offense was targeted by Iguodala. No matter where he went, he could meet this strong hand The evil star that people fear.

Iguodala only scored 5 points, but his defense, organization, and rotation helped the 76ers lead by 3 points from Luohu in 6 minutes.

Snyder couldn't sit still, and Li Xing couldn't rest, so he had to change.

Li Xing returned to the court. At this time, the 76ers' outside trio consisted of Holiday, Turner, and Iguodala. Inside, Hawes was still the center and Brandy was the power forward.

They don't have many players, they are young and can afford it.

The same is true for the Raptors. Snyder's arrangements are more reasonable. Even if they are young, they will not be overused or overdrawn.

"You really can't sit still?"

Holiday sneered.

Li Xing took Evans and Shelvin Mark to replace the out-of-form Whiteside, Bargnani and Stephenson.

There is also a main force and two substitutes, but the arrival of Li Xing gives people a sense of anticipation that the battle will start.

"Shervin, I will help you with the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. You don't have to think too much, just perform well. This is your chance."

Li Xing stood in front of him and said lightly.

Let Li Xing be the escort, this is the treatment that Calderon and Stephenson only have. If Stephenson hadn't performed too poorly tonight, Snyder would not have sent Mark to play at this time.

Although the Raptors played triumphant songs in the regular season, the weakness of the guard line became more and more obvious in the playoffs.

Strengthening the back line is the next most important thing for the Raptors.

Calderon is more than stable, but lacks creativity and impact; Stephenson and Mark are both aggressive players who can't control the scene with too much impact.

Such a player is very good if he plays well, but if he doesn't play well, he will affect the entire team.

Now, all Li Xing has to do is help Mark find his rhythm.

You can't be hit by Iguodala before your hands are hot like Stephenson, and your mentality explodes.

Li Xing's pick-and-roll is a fortified barrier, and everyone who has used it has said it is good. Even if Holiday takes every precaution, if he really wants to rely on it, he can't break free in the end.

What Mark wants is this fleeting opportunity that will be lost in the blink of an eye.

The excited young man rushed to the penalty area with the ball, facing Hawes' defense, showing a tough side.

Even if Hawes' defense is threatening, he will not be afraid.

Mark played with confidence and dared to throw the ball in the face of such a high-intensity defense.

"Shh!"

Because he knew that even if he missed the shot, Li Xing would follow up and make up the ball.

Hawes couldn't stop the shot anyway.

"Larch, your pick-and-roll is great!" Mark ran behind Li Xing and praised loudly.

"Defend them."

Holiday is the most threatening assault point in Philadelphia. As the boss of the team, his performance tonight is also the team's vane.

If it weren't for Holiday's murderous look as soon as he came up, the 76ers would never have played such a good performance.

He is ready to arouse the fighting spirit of his teammates again.

Hawes ran forward and blocked Mark for him.

The young and thin Mark couldn't break through this kind of strong pick-and-roll wall, so he could only get tired of it in Hawes's arms.

Holiday got the space to break through. Although Li Xing assisted in the defense, he has confidence in his speed.

Li Xing also knew that there was a gap in speed between the two of them, so he was not in a hurry, even though Holiday showed such urgency, he did not show panic.

He waited quietly, knowing Holiday would let his guard down.

After all, he was going nowhere in the first quarter, and he really thought no one could catch him.

Holiday and Li Xing opened up a position, and he made many mistakes—is it okay to pass Li Xing?

Li Xing raised his hands and said, "See these 250 cm long arms? Pop!"

With a sharp slap, Holiday's layup was blocked.

He looked back in horror, Li Xing was still a body away, but his arms, his arms were too fucking long!
Li Xing accepted the rebound: "Since you want me to block the shot so much, I will satisfy you. I hope this will not affect your performance."

Li Xing's sarcasm is very similar to his blocking.

cruel,

ridicule,

It's shocking and irritating.

Holiday couldn't imagine how this face, which refused to show even a single expression, could say such annoying words.

The Raptors are about to counterattack, and it's Mark again, and he runs very fast.

The young defender found his opportunity in this tumultuous war, and maybe he can use this opportunity to prove that he is better than Stephenson.

He can't say that directly to Snyder, but he can show it to everyone.

Compared with the unstable Stephenson, maybe the young and prudent Mark is a better choice?

"It's Shelvin Marks again! This little guy has so much energy, I love him!"

"His greatest strength is passion, and his greatest weakness is also passion, because there is Lance Stephenson in the same position, and the two of them are so similar!"

The commentator talked about the differences between the two, and Stephenson listened in his heart. He tried hard to control his emotions and tried to avoid showing too many emotions outside of the game.

Snyder was also watching the game, and Mark's performance was good, but not enough to shake his formation.

In his view, Stephenson is still the better option.

He didn't play well tonight, maybe it has nothing to do with him. If Li Xing had been on the court from the beginning, Iguodala would have no chance to target Stephenson at all.

This is the difference. Li Xing knows that defenders like Stephenson and Mark need to quickly find the feeling of the game, and they are not confronted enough at this stage, so they have to provide a lot of pick-and-rolls and screens to protect them from infringement.

This is protection that Whiteside cannot provide.

It can be said that Whiteside has a considerable part of the responsibility for Stephenson's poor performance.

Snyder sees it all, and nothing will change in this game.

Li Xing did well, Mark did well, Stephenson did nothing wrong, it was just that he couldn't handle Iguodala.

Another clever pick-and-roll, Mark passed the ball to Li Xing.

Li Xing made a protective wall on the spot, holding the ball with his 250-cm arm and raising it above his head. He kept an eye on Mark's movements until he passed through the defense and pierced into the hinterland of Philadelphia like a feathered arrow from a bowstring. out.

A wonderful biography.

Stephenson received the ball, made a backhand basket, scored 4 points in a row, and immediately controlled the situation.

Li Xing's appearance changed the decline of the Raptors, which no one else could do.

No matter how united Philadelphia is, to defeat the Raptors, they must first defeat Li Xing.

However, when Li Xing devoted himself to the competition, who could defeat him?
