I'm king in the basket

Chapter 425 Such a Monster
Bargnani's son was born at St. Cummer's Hospital in downtown Toronto in early October.

Bargnani named him Andrea Bargnani II.

Relatives, friends and fans congratulated Bargnani in different ways. For him, this is a new chapter in his life.

From this day on, he has another identity.

"I'm ready to accept the mission God has given me, and I promise everyone that I will be a good dad," Bargnani said.

Raptors training camp continues.

Players leave training camp almost every day.

For these uncontracted players, the team has the right to terminate the training camp contract at any time.

Initially, there were nearly 100 players in the training camp.

Now there are less than thirty of them.

The training camp has been going on for half a month. In addition to Aaron Gray getting a contract, there is also a defender who has also got a contract.

His name is John Lucas III.

This gentleman is just an unknown junior. A few years ago, he went to mainland China to accept the baptism of socialism in Yao Ming's team, and then returned to the NBA. He has played for many years.

His talent is not very high, just like those homeless people who stay in the NBA for a long time, they can play in the NBA, but they can't make themselves a non-sale product of the team, they are always sold.

When a contract ends, the team will not try their best to keep them, they can only find another home.

The Raptors Lucas III is not a good next home, the backline competition here is extremely fierce.

Dragic, Calderon, Stephenson.

Three guards who are in their prime, one of them is going to be the starter. The embarrassing thing is that the strength of the other two will be overkill if they are used as substitutes.

That's the kind of competition Lucas is facing, and on a team like this, he might not even have a chance to play in garbage time.

Even though the situation was so difficult, Lucas III accepted it. He hoped to stay in the NBA. The Raptors are a competitive team, and it is possible to realize his dream by staying here.

Li Xing's progress was equally astounding.

Last season, he has already shown superior strength, but now, he really gives people a sense of despair.

"When I'm standing against him, I'm glad it's just an intra-team match, we're not really fighting on the court."

Even Evans, who beat Li Xing for three years, said so.

"Taylor, did you really blow him up in the national finals?"

Every day, people would ask Hansbrough such a question.

At first, Hansbrough would nod proudly and yes, but later on, he found that people who asked this question just felt that it was impossible to beat Li Xing with his strength.

He was angry, and he was a little rushed to answer the question.

Now, he is numb.

Even if someone around him asked about it, his answer was only: "Yes, yes."

No matter how many games have passed in the past, the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Finals will become an eternal mystery.

Why is Li Xing depressed?

What happened to the unstoppable Duke team?
What happened to Li Xing the night before the game?
With Li Xing's performance in the NBA, it is really hard for people to imagine that he will have that kind of collapse in the NCAA Finals.

If someone came to Li Xing to talk about it face-to-face, he would also generously admit that he was beaten by Hansbrough, and admitted that he was beaten badly.

no excuse.

It is such a person who makes a big step every year after entering the NBA.

In the training camp, his teammates did not have a live confrontation with him, but learned about his progress through the confrontation.

Shooting, low-post offense, face-to-basket offense, and all kinds of offensive skills, he comes at hand, and his stability is extremely high.

What has changed the most is his dribbling, which is what his teammates can't understand the most.

How did a guy who was praised last season for being able to dribble twice on offense suddenly turn into a playmaker?
This is the most amazing thing that happened in a team match.

When Li Xing asked for the ball from the defender, raised his hand like the No. [-] position, and ordered other teammates to move, the view of the crowd watching the game was completely broken.

The 220-cm giant dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. The opponent tried to steal the ball, but failed.

Forget it, he was still controlling the ball at the top of the arc, giving orders like a command tower, and the others really followed his instructions.

The most embarrassing thing is that when the opportunity came out, he dribbled the ball behind his back and assisted that person to score beautifully.

How good is this dribbling and passing?
Snyder was stunned. He was the one who was in charge of observing Li Xing. Now, he had to write in his notebook: his movement control skills had improved rapidly, and he had the potential to become a center forward.

Soon, he crossed off the potential and potential.

It's not that he has or potential, but that he has become such a player.

If the team needs it, he can blind everyone's eyes at any time.

220 cm organizer?The whole world will be scared to death by him, right?

"He is also seven feet tall, why can he be so good?"

Aaron Gray was almost suspicious of life.

Just now, Li Xing staged a breakthrough from outside the three-point line, collecting the ball, jumping and pulling the bar to pick the basket and score.

For that ball, none of the four opponents stopped him.

Gray couldn't imagine such a ball happening to him.

He doesn't have the skill, the speed, the touch, or even the explosive power.

He never thought that a seven-foot-long man could do such an operation?

It was tough for him, Li Xing was an astonishing monster.

Even his teammates who have been with him day and night for three years were terrified when they saw this scene.

"Don't even look at me, I promise, he couldn't do that last season," DeRozan said.

This is even more astonishing. In other words, Li Xing strengthened his control during the offseason, so there was such an improvement.

It's only one summer, and he still has to play in the Olympics.

It has only been a few days since the end of the Olympic Games, two months?How could there be such progress?
The more Li Xing competes, the more obvious his progress is, and the more frustrated the people around him are.

A day of training is over.

Snyder called everyone together, poured a few words of chicken soup, and then disbanded the team.

"Larch, come here."

Snyder couldn't hold back, he had to know when Li Xing developed this ability to control movement.

It's not uncommon for a big man to act like a guard and even show off the dribble in a positional battle.

What Li Xing showed everyone today is the dribbling technique of dribbling the ball across the half court from the backcourt like a defender.

In order to further confirm Li Xing's ability to control movement, Snyder even instructed the players to press up on the sidelines, but he still passed the halftime in an orderly manner.

It's not a nice but unsurprising little thing like "Oh you can dribble? Not bad".

This is a terrifying ability that can be used as an offensive system.

"Coach, what's the matter?"

Li Xing found Snyder's serious face, thinking that someone was injured.

"Larch, when did you practice your dribbling?"

Snyder paused several times, it was really hard for him to control himself.

"After the Olympics, I found a coach to strengthen my dribbling training. My basic skills are good, so the effect of the special training is very good."

Li Xing said lightly.

In addition to lamenting that God is unfair and did not distribute talent equally to everyone, Snyder can only feel uncontrollable ecstasy.

"So what do you think about your dribbling?"

"I want to be an all-around player."

"More than literally omnipotent."

"It's not that I can easily get a quadruple-double and be considered omnipotent."

Li Xing repeated his views on dribbling in front of Snyder: "I want to be omnipotent, I will not have any shortcomings, this is what I want."

"Do you think that the role you played in the confrontation match just now can be competent in the official match?"

This is the key, Snyder needs to know Li Xing's opinion on this matter.

Li Xing smiled and said, "I can."

Snyder was overjoyed and was about to tell Li Xing what he thought, but the latter continued, "However, my body can't support it."

"why?"

Snyder didn't understand that Li Xing hadn't suffered any injuries so far, which is rare.

Snyder couldn't understand what he said, and couldn't support his body?what does that mean?
"My doctor told me that players of my height generally don't have a long career, so I have to pay attention to maintenance."

"I took her advice, so I lost a little weight in the offseason."

"Dribbling is a job for a defender, but for me, it's just an insignificant skill. If I learn it, it's good. If I can't learn it, it's not a big deal."

Snyder nodded in agreement.

"I have learned to dribble, and I can even dribble across the half court like a defender. I believe this can be used as a special tactic at critical moments, but I don't think this tactic can be normalized. I know where my limit is."

Li Xing said.

Snyder listened to him gravely.

Yes, Li Xing is right. With his height, if he dribbles a lot, his feet will suffer a lot.

Everyone has limits. Although Li Xing has not suffered any serious injuries so far, the most important thing is to prevent them before they happen.

"You're right, Larch," Snyder said.

"Coach, is there anything else?" Li Xing asked with a smile.

"I suddenly forgot what I was looking for you to do."

Snyder's plan fell through, and he wasn't going to speak about that.

Li Xing could see clearly.

"Then I'll go first." Li Xing said with a smile.

"Go ahead," Snyder said.

Looking at Li Xing's back, Snyder kept thinking about Li Xing's performance today.

Without a doubt, this is the most dominant individual performance he has ever seen.

From defense to offense, his influence enveloped the entire court.

Where is his limit?
Li Xing walked into the locker room, said hello to his teammates, and said good night to each other, then went to the parking lot and drove home.
