I'm king in the basket

Chapter 33 The 20-Year-Old Monster
The Mavericks have plenty of firepower. Apart from Kidd's shooting, everyone else has the ability to attack with the ball.

Nowitzki, as the strongest firepower among them, is not greedy for offense, and only participates in the offense when the team cannot open or the tactics are running on him.

This is a very good virtuous circle.

However, no team can win a game with a "shoot the ball, don't break through" offense, and Li Xing's defense blocked their scoring door to the basket.

Josh Howard had long disliked Bargnani.At this moment, he was catching the ball, let alone passing it, and shook it a few times.

Bargnani was motionless like a defensive master, and Howard knew he just couldn't figure out his own movements.

With Bargnani's mobility, Howard passing him is as easy as crossing the road.

Howard erupts, cuts out and cleans Bargnani.

This is the first time Li Xing has seen such a straightforward dribble. The defender didn't even react. When he turned around, Howard's ball had already been thrown into the air.

What a "good" defense!

However, Howard failed to succeed. As soon as he shot the ball, a hand flying from the sky fell horizontally.

"It's Dante again!"

Aaron Stone yelled: "This is his sixth block tonight, this guy has a chance to get another [-] blocks tonight!"

"Dante has currently averaged 5.1 blocks per game and ranks first in the block list. If he continues this defensive performance, he must be the block leader this season!"

Howard, like other blocked people, looked at Li Xing as if he was looking at a monster of a different race from them.

"Stupid pig, do you think I will be broken by you so easily? Let me tell you, all of this is under my control, and your every move is counted by me. You are still self-righteous, stupid! Sad !"

Relying on Li Xing's defense, Bargnani shouted loudly.

Howard glared at him. I really don't know how this Italian has the confidence to call him that. It's not your defense. Why are you so crazy?It's really a fox pretending to be a tiger!

"Your defense is really impressive." Nowitzki said to Li Xing.

Li Xing said: "If I can guard you, I will accept your evaluation."

"Defend me?" Nowitzki didn't seem to understand Li Xing's words.

Is there anything wrong with this?Li Xing was puzzled.

"The easiest thing in the world is the next resolution that can't be realized at all." Nowitzki said: "You made a mistake."

After finishing speaking, Nowitzki crossed his body, blocked Li Xing, and raised his hand to serve.

With 8 seconds left in the clock, Nowitzki had no reason to pass the ball, and the back next to Li Xing suddenly twitched backwards.

Li Xing posted it, but he couldn't prevent him. Nowitzki used the most personal characteristic of the golden rooster to turn around and fall back.

Li Xing's height and arm length can interfere with Nowitzki, but it is very limited.

Nowitzki has been in the arena for many years, and he has encountered all kinds of defenses. This kind of defense that looks scary but doesn't threaten shooting can't affect his touch at all.

"Shh!"

After the ball was scored, Nowitzki said: "Young man, I want to make a bet with you, I bet you can't guard me."

"What's the bet?" Li Xing is not addicted to gambling, he just has a feeling.

"Your annual salary, if you win, I will give you my salary this month, definitely more than your annual salary." Nowitzki said confidently.

"I have no reason to refuse."

There is really no reason.

Just as Li Xing thought, when Nowitzki made the bet, a sound came from the system.

The longer he gets along with the system, the more Li Xing understands it. The incidents involved are regular. As long as there is friction or quarrel with the other party, there is a high probability of incidents.

It was the same this time, Li Xing promoted the incident through trash talking.

"Trigger event: a bet with you."

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to, no sir?" To be careful, Li Xing wanted to know the system's opinion.

"Nothing" said leisurely: "This is a high-level event. Nowitzki is a superstar at his peak. This event will be accompanied by multiple follow-up events. If you can complete the event tonight, you can get a Nowitzki's exclusive skills, a random extra reward and three chances to draw skills."

"so good?"

Unexpectedly, the rewards are so rich, Li Xing is eager to try.

"What I need to remind you is that Dirk Nowitzki is going into berserk mode, you have to be careful."

No matter what mode he is in, he must be killed today!
Because Li Xing has defended against too many good players recently, now is the most rampant time, he has no eyes, and thinks he is invincible.

All his teammates had already passed the halftime, and Li Xing came late because he received the system information, so he picked and rolled for Jack.

Kidd was about to pass through Li Xing's pick-and-roll, but as soon as their bodies came into contact, he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Li Xing's body was as hard as iron, and Kidd felt a strong force from the inside out to push him away even though he didn't make any other movements.

Jack didn't expect the opportunity to come so easily, so he gave Li Xing a big praise for his pick-and-roll, and dribbled the ball to the basket for a layup.

Li Xing focused on Nowitzki, and the confrontation started without the ball.

Nowitzki is not in a hurry to score, walks around, and does not constantly provide off-ball screens like Li Xing.

He dangled on the court like an old man, and Li Xing didn't know what he wanted to do.

Suddenly, Howard appeared behind Li Xing, covering for Nowitzki.

Nowitzki ran to the basket with his waist down, and Kidd made a penetrating pass from beyond the three-point line to the basket to the position.

It was Bargnani again. Tonight he was the background board for Nowitzki, jumping up and hanging on the opponent. Even if the defense reached this point, the opponent still scored smoothly.

Nowitzki pestered Bargnani, the ball was thrown into the air, and the referee's whistle was harsher than the crowing of a rooster in the morning.

What is frustrating is that the ball hit the backboard and went straight to the basket.

"Next time, next time I will!" Bargnani vowed to do the guarantee, except Nowitzki, no one would believe him.

Nowitzki patted him on the shoulder: "I believe you can, please continue to help defend, I like your defense very much, energetic, powerful, and aggressive."

People need face, trees need bark, how can Bargnani fail to hear Nowitzki's sarcasm, his eyes are wide open, as scary as Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings".

Before Li Xing got angry, Triano made the first move.

He brought up Chris Bosh and Calderon and took Bargnani.

After Bargnani left the field, Triano gave him a lesson in love and regret.

"Attention, Dirk Nowitzki is going into berserk mode!"

Li Xing received the message and decided to take the initiative.

Defense alone is definitely not enough. To disrupt the opponent's rhythm, especially a superstar like Nowitzki, you must start from both ends of the offense and defense.

The defensive end caused him trouble, and the offensive end also put pressure on him.

Fortunately, Nowitzki's defense is not good. As long as they don't double-team, Li Xing is sure to score under his defense.

Nowitzki's touch is extremely soft, and this free throw has no pressure and hits directly.

"Jose, you can't let Dirk continue to play like this. I will try to get a position. If my chance is good, you can give me the ball." Li Xing said to Calderon.

This is the first time Calderon heard "give me the ball" from Li Xing.

"I see, don't worry." Calderon said.

Li Xing tried to get a position, but was unsuccessful. Nowitzki has more experience than him, and knows the minds of young people.

"The biggest problem with you young people is that you think you are the only smart person in the world. This is another mistake you made." Nowitzki took the position alone, keeping Li Xing behind.

Seeing this situation, Calderon couldn't help even if he wanted to give the ball to Li Xing. Li Xing's position is too bad, what can he do with the ball in that position?

"José!"

Bosh ran up and blocked Calderon.

Block finished, Bosh retreated outside the three-point line, Calderon inward breakthrough, hoping to use the breakthrough to create opportunities.

However, his breakthrough did not cause waves. The Mavericks' defense was still intact. Calderon couldn't see a chance to make a shot at the basket, so he could only pass the ball outward.

Beyond the arc, unguarded, Bosh gets the ball.

So far this season, Bosh has averaged 0.3 three-pointers per game.

Taking a deep breath, Bosh made a three-pointer.

"No!" Bosh yelled, "Rebound!"

The feeling of this ball is very bad, not only the hand feel is bad, but also the force of the ball is too strong.

Sure enough, the ball hit the left side of the basket and bounced high into the air.

Under the basket, four people jumped up, and only one was a Raptors player, but he alone was enough.

Li Xing's height and thickness surpassed the other three, and his sharpness in the air covered the audience.

The ridiculously long arm caught the ball directly, and Nowitzki, Howard, and Tim Thomas stepped forward to double-team at the same time.

In such a hinterland, Li Xing would never pass the ball.

Holding the ball firmly, Li Xing held the ball up with one hand, knocked Thomas flying, stepped out of the space with a step, and held Nowitzki's body to force his bow.

Nowitzki and him are as close as a husband and wife, separated by a stone's throw, but seem to be a world apart.

His hands couldn't touch Li Xing's ball no matter what.

After Li Xing jumped up, he grabbed the ball with his right hand and raised it to the highest point. This is a position that no one can reach. He heard the referee's whistle.

Even if you don't score, free throws are guaranteed.
With a flick of his fingertips, Li Xing sent out the basketball softly.

The ball spins and hits the middle of the backboard, bounces toward the hoop, spins around, and falls in.

Li Xing let out a low growl, and put his hands into a V shape, showing off his terrifying muscles, declaring his strength to Nowitzki.

Bosh rushed up to hug him, stroking his head in relief.

Calderon also walked to Li Xing's side and said something to calm him down.

The scene was very quiet, and the Mavericks players on the field didn't say a word. Li Xing's teammates were worried that he would suffer from unnecessary actions and words, and they were also persuading him.

However, everyone can see it.

This 20-year-old monster played a performance comparable to Nowitzki.
