I'm king in the basket

Chapter 404

"The starters from both sides are already on the field, let's see what happens next."

"For sure, the Raptors definitely don't want the series to continue, they want to end it all."

"It's not going to be easy to do that."

One thing that is great about the young Thunder team is that they will not easily admit defeat, even if they are already standing on the edge of a cliff, they will fall off with just a slight push.

Even if the situation is as bad as this woman, they will try their best to grab something on the edge of the cliff to protect themselves.

Their desire to survive is so strong.

To beat them, you have to show the fighting spirit of the previous three games.

The referee looked at the players on both sides, said nothing, and stood in the middle of the court with the ball in his palm.

"It's about to start!"

Theron held Jackson in his arms, surrounded by a group of women.

"Lucky's jump ball won't lose!" Dai Linsi said confidently.

The referee threw the basketball, and Li Xing didn't leave any suspense. When he took the racket away, Perkins' fingers just reached the highest point.

The talent gap magnified at this moment.

Perkins gritted his teeth secretly, he didn't know what else he could do.

They played four games, and Li Xing could easily beat him every time, every time.

Is the gap between the two really that big?

This question has already been answered, but he has been unwilling to admit it. He thought that hard work would bring him great rewards.

Sometimes, hard work can bring people to the door of success, and sometimes, unrewarded efforts can lead people to extremes.

Perkins didn't know what else he could do. He had tried his best to defend Li Xing.

He didn't do enough for his team.

Li Xing kicked off the game with a jumper from the free throw line.

"Really stable, his shooting!"

"His shooting reminds me of Alan Houston."

"Yeah, that soft touch is rare for a big guy like him."

The commentator praised one sentence after another, Westbrook was sullen, dribbled the ball halfway, and looked up, the opponent was still Stephenson.

There is no suspense in the duel between him and Stephenson. In the previous four games, he averaged 11 breakthroughs per game.

What is this concept?
If you encounter a team that helps defend against garbage, half of these successful breakthroughs will be converted into assists, half will be converted into points, and a small half will be caused by killing, and the remaining half will be because he missed the opportunity. ball.

For other opponents, Westbrook has already torn the opponent to pieces.

However, the Raptors stood under the basket with a monster who averaged 7 blocks per game.

The existence of Li Xing makes an impact player like Westbrook a headache. No matter what he wants to do, he has to consider the influence of the opponent.

This round, he obviously considered too much.

There is nothing wrong with thinking carefully, but can you protect the ball well?Is it okay to protect the ball first and then think about these things?
Just as Westbrook was in trouble, Stephenson quietly raised his hand.

By the time Master Wei reacted, the ball had already been stolen.

"Wow! Lance Stephenson is possessed by Walter Fraser at this moment!"

This compliment can be said to have lifted Stephenson to the sky.

Who is Fraser?The NBA's first defensive back in the 70s, Payton before Payton.

What about Stephenson's defense?To put it bluntly, it is air. Kong has an attitude, no skills, and likes to think about it.

This kind of defense will be smashed to pieces when encountering a player like Westbrook.

It's a pity that he happened to meet Westbrook who was thinking about his life, and he made a steal in time, and then snatched the ball.

To grab the ball, Stephenson's approach is not to wait for his teammates, but to play a fast break alone.

How prestige would it be to steal Westbrook face to face, if even a fast break is also scored?

Thinking of that scene, Stephenson couldn't help but want to laugh.

It's beautiful, it's beautiful!

How many people in the finals can leave such an imprint?He is about to stay, as long as he completes the fast break, this scene will be replayed repeatedly.

Although he is not the helm of the Raptors, he can also leave his own legend in the finals through hard work.

This is Stephenson's idea.

He thought too simply, and didn't take Westbrook too seriously.

Master Wei is just thinking about life, not doubting life. There is nothing wrong with his state.

Without this steal, Westbrook might think again.

Stephenson's steal woke him up like a basin of cold water.

Damn, even such an idiot who is as defensive as the air will kill me, what else is there to think about?
Thus, the following scene happened.

Stephenson is full of confidence and wants to complete the fast break with a layup.

Westbrook behind him stepped on the Hot Wheels, like a Juggernaut who started the wind walk. His teammates reminded him, but Stephenson remained unmoved.

catch up?impossible!

He was about to lay up, and just like that, Westbrook caught up to him and gave him a crackling bloody cap.

"You are as stupid as a pig, and I will be snatched by you."

Westbrook picked up the rebound and dribbled it backhanded. His speed was not fast.

He, who was supposed to be brain-burning, showed an unusual calmness, and Stephenson's steal did not disrupt his rhythm.

On the contrary, Stephenson experienced this setback and his mentality changed.

Blocked?
How can it be!How did this guy catch up with me?

Stephenson chased after him and wanted to block. Westbrook moved to the frontcourt and showed off a zombie jumper at the position where Li Xing scored before.

He jumped high, his body was straight and stiff, and Stephenson struck from behind and couldn't touch anything.

"Shh!"

After hitting the shot, Westbrook clenched his fist and roared: "If you think we will lose, then you are so fucking wrong!"

"We won't fucking lose!"

Westbrook is a fire, the way he plays, his words and deeds, as long as he is on the court, he is a moving, intelligent fire that can hurt the enemy and himself.

It is not easy to control such a player.

No one in the Thunder can control him, and he has been changing through self-regulation.

It's like just now, he was intercepted, as if nothing happened, and when he came back to attack, he exploded directly.

This is a very emotional person, just the opposite of Durant.

Li Xing glanced at Stephenson and found that this guy also had a mentality problem.

"Lance, if you can't calm down, I guarantee you will be replaced soon." Li Xing said to him.

Stephenson looked over, he did not doubt the authenticity of Li Xing's words.

He has verified countless times what the result of the brain pumping is.

"Your task is not to compete with him for a moment." Li Xing said.

Stephenson sighed, "I know, I know."

"Don't be angry."

After Li Xing finished speaking, he ran to the front field.

He really doesn't urge the people around him. At this time, Calderon's presence is very important.

He can stabilize everyone on the court, and he can also set an example to let Stephenson and other brain-burning young people see what is the right thing to do.

It doesn't make sense to mention this matter now. Calderon can only sit on the sidelines as a man in a suit and cheer for everyone.

Li Xing ran into the paint area, asked for a position, and cut out suddenly.

Perkins tried to keep up, but knocked Bargnani down.

Limp, the absolute worst off-ball coverage ever.

What Bargnani wants to do is not hang people to death, he just needs to slow down Perkins' pursuit speed.

As long as Li Xing gets the ball, the game is over.

After Li Xing got the ball, he picked it up, and Perkins, who got rid of the screen, rushed over.

His body was out of control as he was already in the air.

He regretted it.

This is Li Xing's trap.

He saw the weird smile on Li Xing's face, and he was sure it was a fake move.

The two will inevitably come into contact. This is the home court of the Raptors. Judging from the referee's care for Li Xing, this foul cannot be avoided no matter what.

Li Xing gently rubbed against Perkins, and heard the referee's whistle as he wished, and then he made a move.

The absolute height, the difference in talent is felt by those who watch it, it is by no means clear in a few words.

If you don't be his opponent, just stand a few meters away and watch his shots, you will feel a sense of frustration beyond your reach.

Who can cover such a high release point?

But he still shoots very accurately, even if his shooting is restricted, he can attack with the ball.
What is more frightening than talent is Li Xing's full set of skills. He can do everything, and this is the most helpless thing.

"Shh!"

Perkins looked back at the ball on the ground, and he knew the defense had failed.

His defense completely failed.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, he was fouled by Li Xing.

If Li Xing launches attacks continuously in this way, how long can he stay on the court?
What is certain is that Li Xing will not let him go.

The Thunder's inside line is weak, and if he is beaten down, the penalty area will be a vacuum.

Ibaka's defense is eye-catching, but he dare not confront Li Xing head-on.

With his power forward figure, if he came to Li Xing, it would be a piece of meat, and he could eat whatever he wanted.

Thunder head coach Scott Brooks has also identified the problem.

Their problem is exactly the same as that of the Heat. They have a wing group full of athletic talents, but they don't have an insider who can confront Li Xing tit-for-tat.

Ibaka, who has the strongest defense ability, is a power forward, and Perkins, the center with the strongest comprehensive ability, is not Li Xing's opponent at all.

Just in the second minute of the game, Perkins received a foul.

If Li Xing continued to play like this, he would soon be replaced due to too many fouls.

Looking at the inside substitutes sitting off the court, Brooks regretted that it was hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

Cole Aldridge, Nazr Mohammed, Nick Collison.

Just these three, why not?
