I'm king in the basket

Chapter 424 How did I become a bad person?
There is a hierarchy in every place. Although there is no need to nod and bow like the Japanese, the higher level has privileges and the right to speak.

When the selected players are going to play a confrontation match, the players who were originally training in the central court have to give up their positions.

Li Xing sat on the sidelines depressedly with a towel hanging on his body.

He thought it would be boring if he didn't play, but what was even more boring was that Snyder temporarily decided to let him "participate" in the game.

He was happy when he found out that they actually wanted him to be the referee.

"Good participation!"

Li Xing expressed his depression by grabbing his unfit coach uniform and the whistle that had been held in his mouth by so many people.

"What are you looking at?"

asked Barnes.

Li Xing grabbed the whistle and said, "I was wondering, has anyone used this whistle before?"

"Do you think the team will be so stingy? This whistle must be new!" Barnes said decisively.

Li Xing asked curiously: "Why do you see it?"

"Look at this whistle, it's smooth and bright, as delicate as a hair, it feels very good in the hand, and it blows extremely well."

This old bastard just said it, and even put it in his mouth and started blowing.

"you!"

Li Xing looked at the whistle being handled by Barnes, as if he saw countless oral bacteria.

"How is it? Are you alright?"

Barnes returned the whistle to Li Xing.

Li Xing wanted to pick it up, but thinking of the saliva left by Barnes, he quickly retracted his hand and put it in his trouser pocket.

"what do you mean?"

"You used it, I don't want it." Li Xing said arrogantly.

Barnes squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xing as if being shocked by an electric shock: "I can understand that, are you despising me?"

"Uh, don't get me wrong, what I mean is, you've used them all, and this belongs to you. I'm going to find an assistant to get another one."

Li Xing faintly felt that countless fists were about to fall on his body.

Barnes' eyes became more and more unfriendly: "Isn't this disgusting me?"

"No, no! I'm a clean freak, so I really can't accept it!" Li Xing repeatedly made excuses.

Barnes got closer: "Are you saying I'm dirty?"

Damn, it's really hard to meet this kind of bullshit!

Li Xing only hated himself for his poor cultivation, otherwise how could he make such an old guy threaten him every day?
"I mean, it's unhygienic, unhygienic!"

"Are you saying I'm unhygienic?"

Barnes was about to force Li Xing to the point where he had no words.

Fortunately, Snyder appeared in time to avoid a tragedy.

Li Xing is sincerely grateful to Snyder, if this old man can't control himself and crush him in front of so many people, where will he save his face?

"Unless you bleed, there is no foul!"

"We play four quarters, 5 minutes each, and the goals don't stop!"

This is the basic rule. Snyder and the coaching staff are around the sidelines. Except for Snyder, no one is holding a pen and paper to record the performance of the players at any time.

Li Xing changed to a brand-new whistle, put on referee clothes like tights, hung the whistle around his neck, and said solemnly to the people on both sides: "You guys play hard for me, and also, please be nice to me during the game, you guys The attitude towards me will become an important basis for my penalty scale."

"You are asking for bribes blatantly!" DeRozan didn't expect this person to be so shameless.

"What's wrong with asking for bribes? On the court, the referee is as big as the sky! Is there anyone who refuses to accept it?" Li Xing looked around.

Except for Evans and Barnes, two veterans who can beat Li Xing to relieve their anger if they are upset, no one else said anything.

Bargnani came to Li Xing's side and gave him a wink: "Larch, we are partners, we are geniuses meeting geniuses."

It's so disgusting, I'll blow him a black whistle later.

Li Xing was sick in his heart, smiled dryly, held the ball in his hand, and looked at the team headed by Dragic. The center of their team was Aaron Gray.

Gray now looks like a taller version of Tyrion Lannister.

Only he looks funnier.

"Are you ready?"

Li Xing looked left and right, and both teams had several new faces, like Gray from the white team and Telfair from the black team.

They used to belong to other teams, but now in the Raptors' training camp, the coaching staff is optimistic about them, so they let them join this match.

This is a rare opportunity, if their performance can satisfy the coaching staff, maybe they can get a contract tonight.

Li Xing has no experience as a referee, but he has watched the referee throw the ball at close range countless times, which requires a little manual work.

Seeing Bargnani's disgusting smile, Li Xing decided to send the ball to Gray.

When he dropped the ball, he deliberately threw it to Gray's side, so the white team jumped to the ball.

"Lucky, you throw the ball worse than me!"

"I'm warning you, if you try to make love to me with empty hands like this, I'm going to fuck off!" Li Xing said brazenly.

Bargnani has played for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen someone block the referee like this.

Snyder's connivance fueled Li Xing's arrogance.

Dragic and Gray, the two new arrivals, performed extremely well in the first round.

Gray is a typical traditional center, with sufficient height, wingspan and tonnage, solid rebounds, and quality screens, but insufficient mobility and no shooting range.

This kind of center is against the times.

Fortunately, this is just an ordinary match, and the role he is fighting for is not the main force or rotation, he just hopes to be a substitute among the substitutes.

To put it simply, they are players who play in garbage time to reap the game.

Every team needs a player like that.

If teammates can bring high-quality pick-and-rolls, Dragic's positional threat will increase exponentially.

This round, Li Xing saw his energy.

The moment he passed the pick-and-roll, it was as if a ray of light penetrated Stephenson's defense.

Although Stephenson's score has reached 80 points, his defense has not improved and remains the same.

Dragic scored a layup with a European step, which can be regarded as an impressive meeting gift for the new teammates.

"Nani, your defense is really going to give up treatment."

Li Xing bet that the black team would definitely lose. Who called their center forward Bargnani?
"Look at me!"

Bargnani ran to the low post confidently and wanted to beat Gray, but it was a pity that Stephenson didn't give face.

Dragic just hit Stephenson with a pick-and-roll, and Stephenson wanted to hit it back.

The feeling of vindictiveness came all at once.

Also in the pick-and-roll offense, Evans' screen quality is no worse than Gray's. Stephenson also showed an extremely eye-catching impact, but it's a pity that Gray's defense is far above Bargnani.

He won't let Stephenson get a layup so easily.

With a big cap, Gray slammed Stephenson's layup.

Then came another characteristic of Dragic.

He's unstoppable when it comes to rotating counterattacks.

The Slovenian flying dragon picked up the ball and Stephenson was instantly freed.

At the same time, the black team's rookie stepped forward and stopped Dragic.

Button's back defense is very good, but it's a pity that Dragic has two-handed preparations.

Middleton followed up, he stopped on the other side of the three-point line, Dragic passed the ball, the former caught the ball and made a steady hit.

Middleton held up three fingers, indicating that Dragic's biography is good.

"Beautiful, man! That's what we're going to do!" Dragic yelled.

Li Xing noticed the change in Stephenson. With the same attack, he was blocked, but Dragic was successful.

In the eyes of the coaching staff, the failure of the two offenses lies in the difference between the two teams' inside lines.

Can Bargnani's defense also be called defense?
The coaching staff won't blame Stephenson.

But from the perspective of the person involved, he did not do well, and Dragic performed better than himself.

Once such an idea appears, the form will become very subtle.

In order to prove himself, Stephenson will make more wrong decisions, and Dragic has become more calm.

He learned from Nash, but he is not a pass-first guard like Nash.

Also an attacking defender, his advantage over Stephenson lies in his vision after a breakthrough in positional battles and the speed of counterattacks in rotation.

This is a characteristic that he is obviously superior to others. As for skills such as control and projection, they have yet to be tested in the game.

In the four quarters of the game, the black team finally lost to the white team by 13 points.

Dragic's debut in front of everyone successfully won the approval of the coaching staff.

Snyder is happy with him.

"Golan, it seems that you have adapted well, keep it up," Snyder said.

Dragic nodded yes, while Stephenson sat glumly.

Calderon walked up to him and said, "One fight doesn't decide everything."

"But he's playing better than me!"

Stephenson said.

Calderon smiled bitterly: "Andrea sometimes performs better than Laci, does this explain the problem?"

"Jose, I'm not happy when you say that." Bargnani appeared like a ghost.

"What are you doing here?" Calderon asked.

"Comfort our third graders," Bargnani said.

"Don't come here."

Li Xingyou, who took off his referee uniform, said: "If it weren't for your undercover-level defensive performance, even if Lance couldn't suppress Golan, he wouldn't have played like this. It's all your fault."

"Yes, it's all your fault. You're too defensive to play center forward?" Calderon quickly stood beside Li Xing and condemned Bargnani who had killed Stephenson.

Stephenson would not blame others for his poor performance, but the words of Li Xing and Calderon somewhat comforted him.

Maybe, maybe it's really the guy, his defense is really bad.

Bargnani was more wronged than Dou E, he came to comfort others with good intentions, how could it be his fault?

"Why am I suddenly a bad guy?"

asked Bargnani.

"I told you that you are not as effective as Taylor as a center forward. Why don't you believe it?"

Li Xing and Calderon were still pressing for defense, but Bargnani couldn't say it, and fled in embarrassment.
