I'm king in the basket

Chapter 353 Aliens

Game4
No one wants to lose, even if there is no hope at all.

The Knicks are already desperate. All of them play the game with sadness, but the Raptors, who are sure to win, are a little absent-minded.

At the beginning of the game, the Knicks entered the state early. They played at home and made 8 of 7 shots to help the team take the lead.

This kind of start is rare, especially 8 of 7 shots.

Afraid of Li Xing's deterrence at the basket, all of these 8 shots came from jumpers outside the paint.

That's why Reggie Miller, who was the commentator for tonight's game, said: "They seem to have stolen Toronto's feel, which is so uncommon!"

The Knicks went smoothly and scored consecutively. The Raptors felt cold and couldn't get a point for three and a half minutes.

Spike Lee inspires the audience to roar.

Snyder could only call a timeout to readjust.

After returning from the timeout, Li's high-position singles with the ball broke the team's scoring shortage, and then Bargnani's corner three-pointer helped the team continue to score.

With the Raptors entering the state, this game can be regarded as the official start.

The Raptors' combo chased the score to 3 points, and the two sides fought back and forth on the 3-point difference.

The players on both sides are very disciplined, it's my turn after you play, and it's your turn after I play.

This does not seem to be the playoffs, but you are in a friendly match.

Nobody likes a game like this.

At the end of the first quarter, Anthony's consecutive three-pointers extended the Knicks' advantage to 9 points again, and the Raptors fell into a passive position.

DeRozan stepped forward, opened the heads-up in the last few seconds, and hit a difficult drawbar like a fairy, which boosted the morale of the whole team.

The battle of the first quarter is over.

Mike Breen's evaluation of this is: "The Knicks played the performance we most wanted to see, they did not admit defeat, this is the most important thing!"

Miller also said: "Yeah, if they really admit defeat, I will be very disappointed. When they played against me back then, even after the game was over, they would not stop talking trash. This is a team that never admits defeat. arena."

Come to the second quarter.

The Knicks continued their offensive in the first quarter. After an exquisite tactical movement, Baron Davis served as the end point and hit a three-pointer.

The difference is in double digits.

The opponent's three-pointer was the hailstone that fell head-on. The Raptors sobered up a lot and regained their touch in a short time.

Evans set a solid pick-and-roll for Stephenson.

Then, Stephenson first swayed Davis with a one-handed Buddha move, then retreated beyond the three-point line, shot a three-pointer, and hit.

Stephenson's outburst kept the situation from getting out of control.

Whiteside's performance was unsatisfactory. His basket protection effect was not reflected, and he was pulled out by his opponent like a monkey.

He wanted to cover it so much that he forgot his duty.

He misunderstood Snyder's instructions and took more blocked shots as a tough defense, which led to frequent losses at the basket.

The Raptors' penalty area is like the Knicks' back garden. They come as soon as they say it, and they don't pay for the tickets.

The Raptors' defense had a big problem. Anthony and Davis each committed themselves to the inside to complete a layup, and then missed an offensive rebound. Successful dunk.

No matter how calm Snyder was, he couldn't sit still now.

What the hell kind of defense is this?
Li Xing rested off the court for 4 minutes, and Snyder called him up: "Go and replace Hassan!"

His face was full of anger.

Now Whiteside is not only having a bad attitude, but even the defense he depends on has a big problem.

Li Xing didn't know what happened to him.

In fact, he is also responsible. When he suggested that the team make this deal, he did not consider Whiteside's spiritual attributes.

Attributes are not everything a player has.

Although Whiteside has A- potential value, his fragile mental attributes may make him develop worse than B- players in the end.

The growth of a player requires a stable environment, an excellent mentor, and personal struggle.

Still Stephenson.

He was the hero of the second quarter, with Whiteside sending points behind and him chasing points up front.

If it weren't for him, the Knicks' offensive would have gone straight to 20 points.

Stephenson, who broke free from the shackles, was completely transformed.

Li Xing found that his score had reached 79 points without knowing it.

And, not just 79 points.

To be correct, he is now rated at 79+1.

It can be considered that he has a score of 80 points. As long as he continues this performance and does not get injured, he can break through the 80-point mark before the end of the season.

"Hassan, come down!"

Li Xing came on to replace Whiteside.

His expression was bleak, obviously, he knew he screwed up the game.

Snyder didn't have any good looks, he didn't even want to look at him, and he didn't want to say a word.

Whiteside looked like a woman who had been relegated to the sidelines, and silently returned to her seat and sat down.

Li Xing returned to the game, and he deliberately made trouble for Anthony.

First, let Anthony hit Barnes with his back, and when he made a shot, he returned to the defense to block the shot, and spouted a trash talk provocatively.

Anthony and Li Xing competed, which was exactly the effect the latter wanted.

Anthony typically didn't use his strength in the right place, hitting his opponent three times in a row but only helping Chandler get an offensive rebound once.

"Such a performance is not acceptable, Cameron!"

Barnes really thought it was his defense.

Anthony snorted coldly.

The defensive end harassed Anthony, and the offensive end helped Barnes hit the ball in response. This is Li Xing's strategy for harassing Anthony.

He helped Pondexett in the same way in the last game. Barnes saw the whole process off the court, and he knew what to do.

As a veteran, he can do better than Pondexter.

He knows when to provoke Anthony, when to confront, when to foul, and what to do to maximize the effect.

That's the benefit of being a veteran.

Barnes took Li Xing's screen, ran to the top of the arc, and caught the ball for a three-pointer.

"This ball must be scored!"

At the same time as Barnes' voice fell, the ball went into the basket and accurately passed through the center of the net.

Anthony was furious.

Barnes' provocation didn't make him lose his mind.

Next, Anthony adjusted his mentality, faced Barnes' defense, threw a 45-degree throw and hit the net, and then made a three-pointer from the outside after a pick-and-roll with Chandler.

Li Xing must be praised for his tenacity.

If other people encountered this kind of target, they would have already blown their hair. Anthony was angry and angry.

None of the stars who can make a name for themselves in the league is an ordinary person.

At the end of the first half, the difference between the two sides was only 1 point.

This point difference can be regarded as non-existent before the end of the game. It is only 1 point. As long as a goal is scored, even a free throw can be wiped out.

In the second half, the Knicks still "started fiercely like a tiger", and they beat the Raptors 8-2 in the first half.

After this wave of offensive, the Raptors also reacted.

The opponent is completely crazy tonight, and they will not play negatively because they are behind by a big score. They really want to win.

The Raptors don't want to lose either. They want the series to end in four games, so they can rest and watch the Celtics and the Heat fall in love with each other.

Bargnani continued his fiery touch in the first half, first retaliated with a three-pointer, and then received a hand-off from Li Xing and made an emergency stop jumper.

Tonight's Bargnani beat Stoudemire on the offensive end.

When he saw Bargnani hit consecutive jumpers like this, Stoudemire also wanted to fight back.

He is soft and slow when defending, and becomes a desperate Saburo when attacking.

It's just that Xiaobawang is not lucky at the moment, and he has no feel when shooting, so he can only kill under the basket, but Li Xing will not let him do what he wants.

The tough defense denied Stoudemire's offense to the basket time and time again.

Stoudemire looked at Li Xing disappointedly. As long as he was around, the chances of attacking at the basket were extremely low.

This is a helpless fact.

The Knicks' fiery touch did not last until the end of the third quarter.

Midway through the play, the touch faded, and the Raptors took over.

They first completed their first overtake tonight, and then, the point difference widened to 6 points, and the third quarter ended.

Knicks fans swear to God: "We've seen this script!"

Recalcitrant for three quarters, the last quarter collapsed.

Wasn't it like this in the previous few games?
"collapse?"

"Humph!"

After the Raptors started to attack and hit the iron, they caught a conversion and counterattacked to score.

In this regard, the defense started a tug-of-war.

Stephenson made a pick-and-roll jumper;
Anthony played singles with the ball in a high position, and the three threats opened Barnes' jump shot in response;

Li Xing attacked with the ball in a low position, with a shake of his shoulder, Mei Ruhua turned over and made a jump shot;
Anthony held the ball to attack and attracted Li Xing to help defend, and scored Chandler, who dunked a three-pointer at the basket;

Chandler missed a free throw, Li Xing scored a defensive rebound and made a long pass to Stephenson to counterattack;

The 3-minute confrontation came to an end here, and the Knicks missed it.

Anthony is not a god, he will miss.

When he missed the first shot, Li Xing took the rebound and sent it back to Stephenson, who caused the opponent's thug foul.

Li Xing's performance was still disappointing. Stephenson missed the second free throw, and Li Xing grabbed an offensive rebound in front of the heads of the three.

Surrounded by the three of them, he pouted expressionlessly, pressed on the heads of the crowd, and made a terrifying gesture of killing gods and destroying Buddhas.

Many people believe that this ball destroyed the Knicks.

Since then, the balance of victory has gradually tilted towards the Raptors.

In the last 3 minutes, the point difference widened to 15 points, and the game lost its suspense.

Although the fans are not reconciled, they have to accept that the team's journey this season has come to an end.

The Knicks are out.

Li Xing was covered with a towel. He wasn't the one with the most points in the team tonight.

No, in terms of scoring, he should be ranked behind Bargnani and Stephenson.

Bargnani scored 30 points, Stephenson 26 points.

李幸只得到20分，除了这20分，他还有可怕的30篮板14助攻14封盖。

20+30+14+14.

It's like a group of humans mixed with an alien.

So fucking perverted!
