I'm king in the basket

Chapter 332
There are some games where the form becomes clear in the middle of the game.

Experienced fans can judge who can win in the end by the state and spirit of the players on both sides.

This game was even more typical. Halfway through the third quarter, some old fans at the scene wanted to leave.

Because they've watched so many games, they know what players look like before they break down.

Some of them even watched Cunningham play, they really saw too much.

It is precisely because they have seen so much ebb and flow that they do not want to witness this scene.

Evan Turner dribbled the ball into the penalty area again. Li Xing stared at him again and again. If he dared to come, what was waiting for him was a ruthless block.

"Snapped!"

Li Xing scored the sixth block of the night on Turner, and the basketball rolled backwards. Turner has never been targeted so badly.

He has been the pride of heaven since he was a child. Even in the NBA, as long as he wants to do something, there are not many people who can stop him.

"Damn! Does he think this will make me submit?"

Turner could feel Li Xing targeting him, and of course he knew why the other party targeted him so much, because of the button.

After that, the Raptors completed a counterattack.

DeRozan's counterattacks are always so vigorous. Watching him easily counterattack and dunk again and again, Turner felt a little envious in addition to anger.

If they also have a defender like Li Xing, he believes that he can also get so many counterattack opportunities.

Because by Li Xing's side, DeRozan became the counterattack king this season.

His average fast-break counterattack points per game is higher than that of James, which is an amazing value.

"No matter how many balls you want to play, I will wait for you here."

Li Xing, who had never said a word to him, finally spoke.

Turner glared at Li Xing: "What did you say?" "If you don't dare to come, I will be very disappointed." Li Xing finished talking nonsense and walked to the edge of the paint area.

It's the Raptors' offensive turn again.

Turner still wanted the ball, but Holiday let him run.

He has failed too many times, and there is a limit to his willfulness. This is the playoffs, and they are already 16 points behind. Now it should be time to find a way to score to stop the decline, instead of fighting against the opponent needlessly.

"give it to me!"

Holiday faced a tenacious defense, from Calderon to Stephenson and now Tony Allen.

One after another, Tony Allen, who is good at defense, proved his strength.

Now, Holiday is struggling, Allen locks him down completely, and Brand's voice makes him look sideways.

Perhaps, this is the best opportunity.

Holiday knew that Brand had the best chance of them all, because his opponent happened to be the Raptors' worst defender.

While Bargnani is taller than Brand, his strength is much worse.

Brand picked up the ball and hit it back with all his strength. Bargnani stepped back a lot, but he still couldn't stabilize his body.

Taking advantage of Bargnani's defensive center of gravity swaying in the wind, Brand made another impactful impact. He couldn't resist anymore, and his body collapsed backwards because of the impact. , fell down.

"Okay! This is what we want to see!"

Cunningham yelled excitedly, and Brand then turned around and wiped the basket.

His speed was very fast, even if Li Xing wanted to help Bargnani, there was nothing he could do now.

This move is like an otaku who has been single for 30 years, fast and accurate.

Li Xing grabbed Bargnani's hand and pulled him up from the ground: "The way you looked just now was really ugly."

"Cazzo!"

Bargnani complained: "You don't know, he fouled me! He has extra movement on his elbow!"

Bargnani's excuse cannot be used as a reason for defensive failure at all. The inside line is a highly competitive position, and foul actions outside the rules are nothing more than normal.

At this time, it depends on how the referee looks at it.

Referees usually don't interfere too much with players' games, unless the referee has a special mission or subjectively hopes that a certain side will win.

If a completely neutral referee encounters this kind of inside confrontation action that can be blown or not, 100% will not blow.

Space Yi Youyun: "Playing ball, what's the point of playing without much movement?"

This sentence can be simply changed to: "Inside, no confrontation, no tricks, what kind of inside?"

"No, I must take revenge, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this breath!"

Bargnani's eyes were burning, and Li Xing just wanted to know what he was going to do.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to fight! I'm going to show that guy that basketball isn't just about dirty moves!"

Bargnani said excitedly.

"Well said, I support you."

Li Xing said so, but there was no expression on his face.

If Bargnani finds the touch at this time, the 76ers will have nothing to play.

Although Bargnani's defense is like air, if he has a touch, he can also make the opponent's defense look like air.

If the suspense of the game could be ended at once, Li Xing would of course be extremely happy.

The confrontation rises alternately.

The 76ers were anxious, and Brand's offense gave them a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

If you have hope, you must do your best.

With the connivance of the referee, their confrontation intensity suddenly increased several levels.

What annoys the Raptors most is that if they defended like this, they would have been called at least three fouls by now.

Is this home field advantage?Isn't this advantage too obvious?

Bargnani also suffered a confrontation that exceeded his own load. He didn't complain, and he didn't complain to the referee.

He was like a hungry hyena scavenging for carrion in the desert. As long as there is a piece of meat, he can live.

Brand's pressure is threatening him closely, Bargnani does nothing, thinks nothing, he just wants this to be over as soon as possible, he's fed up with this game, and enough of people keep judging him and Brad Rand for comparison.

What's the comparison between me and Brand?
joke!I beat him, okay?
With anger in his heart, Bargnani ran to Li Xing's side, and used his body to block Brand who was clinging on to him.

"Goodbye, idiot!"

Bargnani ran beyond the three-point line. Li Xing had to praise Bargnani's running position for such an open space under such intensity.

This guy is a lunatic!

Bargnani receives the pass, pulls up and shoots.

The basketball flew into the sky, spinning with great force. Li Xing saw it roll, and the ball went smoothly, so there was no doubt that it would go in.

"Shh!"

Bargnani raised his hands: "I am the best scorer in history! This is the best goal in history. I scored in a foul defense by a group of hooligans! Just watch it!"

If he didn't add so much unnecessary nonsense to the trash talk, Li Xing would really like to celebrate with him.

Now he just wanted to distance himself from the Italian who had fallen into madness.

If this family provokes the opponent into a panic and gets beaten, I hope there will be a lot of them, and don't beat him together, he is innocent.

"I've been looking forward to the renaissance of Philadelphia for a long time, I think, for a long, long time."

Cunningham said: "They have a bunch of great young people now, just like the Orlando Magic in 95."

Acheson couldn't agree with this sentence. Although the Magic in 95 was a young team, their leaders were all top ten players in the league.

Who are the current 76ers?Holiday?He's not even top [-] in the league.

However, Acheson knew that Cunningham would not connect the two teams for no reason.

Cunningham went on to say: "No matter which team it is, their purpose of becoming stronger is for the championship. I don't know any team that only wants to become stronger, not to win the championship. No matter what team it is, they No matter what you do to seek reinforcement, there is only one ultimate goal, and that is to win the cup in June."

"I dare not say anything else. With the current 76ers, I can't see their hope of winning the cup. This is cruel to them, but this is the reality they have to face."

There is another layer to Cunningham's words.

What does it mean for a good team that can't win a championship?

Are you guys willing to make the playoffs every year just to be in the background of a championship?

Are you willing to spend a lot of money every year to maintain a team that doesn't win a championship?

If you don't want to, what should you do?
Dismantle, reorganize, send away valuable ones, throw away worthless ones or keep them until the end of the contract, keep and cultivate those with potential but still need time to realize.

Building a playoff team is hard, but breaking it up is much easier.

Just put the best few players on the shelf and wait for other teams to ask prices.

As long as good players are shot, the team will naturally become bad.

Will the 76ers have to go this way again?It's not that they haven't passed by.

Most teams that reach their peak have this process of being bad, bad, and bad until they succeed.

This quote from Cunningham implies a lot.

There were nearly 2 people at the scene, and not all of them were fans. They had scouts, coaching staff, and high-level executives who decided the fate of the team.

A wise executive can see the team's prospects and decide the next step at the right time.

The 76ers have a lot of players. If they keep this group and recruit in the offseason, they can be a strong team in the East for many years, but they can't win the championship.

For a team that has won the championship three times and has a long history, it is absolutely unacceptable not to win the championship.

The 76ers' offense missed, and the Raptors counterattacked again.

After 1 minute, put your milk into three points.

The point difference was stretched to 20 points.

There are 2 minutes left in the third quarter, and they have another quarter to play.

20 points is a lot, but not a particularly hopeless margin.

There are many young fans looking forward to a miracle, while the old fans are already desperate.

ended.

This game is over.
