I'm king in the basket

Chapter 432 Center forward still has such an operation?
Kobe held the ball in the frontcourt and fumbled the ball after the confrontation.

Then, DeRozan held the ball on the right side outside the three-point line, Li Xing's pick-and-roll was set up, and he flashed through the wall.

Kobe rubbed shoulders with Li Xing and couldn't break free, while DeRozan was two steps inside the three-point line and scored with his most familiar jumper.

DeRozan scored 2 points, glanced at Kobe, and didn't say a word.

Kobe is his favorite player. It can be said that he has always used Kobe as a template to continue to improve.

Therefore, DeRozan has developed a mid-range shot, and his back shot is also honed.

DeRozan's offense gave Kobe a chill.

This is the gauntlet issued by young people. He has been in the league for 16 years, and those children who grew up watching him play have entered the NBA one after another.

The little fanboy at the beginning has now become the back wave who wants to let the front wave die on the beach.

The first problem for the Lakers is the ball handler.

Both Ellis and Kobe have the ability to hold the ball, but their current ability can no longer be converted into a point guard.

Ellis himself is a guard who scores more than offense. As for Kobe, if he is still young, he has a good chance to try a combo guard, but he is 34 years old now.

No veteran will make such a dramatic transformation at this age.

Being number one means controlling the movement of the team and ensuring that the ball can pass through the half court under the strongest defense.

For Kobe, who needs to store up his stamina, playing point guard is definitely a bad idea.

However, this is D'Antoni's decision.

This old man is stubborn and extreme. He believes that his basketball concept can be successful. In addition to the attack that comes and goes like the wind, his concept also has the devil's eight-man rotation that never stops playing the main force.

Under D'Antoni's system, seven-man rotations and eight-man rotations are common.

This is another major positive and negative for Kobe.

The 34-year-old veteran has played for a long time, so there is no need to say much about the physical damage.

The Lakers' tactics ran extremely fast, and Kobe was positioned accurately.

Beyond the arc top three-point line, Kobe got an open shot.

The Raptors' defensive rotation didn't keep up, and Ellis made a lightning-fast pass to Kobe.

Then, DeRozan swooped and Kobe shot before the defense got close.

"I won't go in."

Li Xing is as careful as a hair, and his all-seeing eyes, Rodman's prediction and four years of game experience are telling him that this goal will not be scored.

And he also saw where the ball landed.

Others are still waiting for the result of the ball, Li Xing has already run to the predicted landing point and waited for the ball to land

"boom!"

Howard was overjoyed when the ball hit the basket. The rebound was very close to him and he could get it.

Just as he was about to take his place, he opened his eyes wide, and was horrified to find that Li Xing had already stood in a deadly position.

Why?Why can he guess?

Howard only had horror in his eyes.

He couldn't even speak, Li Xing grabbed the rebound in front of him, turned around and saw Dragic and DeRozan counterattacking like flying dragons.

No matter how good a quarterback is, Li Xing threw a pass with one hand, as if he was playing rugby.

The basketball flew into the sky, leading Dragic to run faster.

Dragic caught up with the ball, without stopping, and slammed the ball hard to the floor.

The ball hits the ground with tremendous force and bounces high into the air. This is DeRozan's favorite moment.
DeRozan thought silently in his heart, jumped up appropriately, just in the air with his back to the basket, grabbed the ball with both hands, and dunked.

“Ladies and gentlemen! You just witnessed the amazing performance of the counterattack king last season!”

DeRozan must praise Dragic, the pass was comfortable and gave him room to perform.

"Golan, I love your pass!"

DeRozan instantly forgot Calderon, who had fed him countless good shots in the past three years.

"No, my pass is not good, it is you who dunk well, but there is a saying that a perfect lob comes from a low-level pass." Dragic smiled humbly.

Howard is asking for the ball again.

As soon as he saw his actions, O'Neal began to mock: "Dwight should do what he is good at, pick and roll inside, move without the ball, and help teammates cover. This is what he is best at."

Howard didn't have the time to get angry with O'Neill, he just didn't accept the fact that Li Xing had left him far away.

He will never forget how raw and tender Li Xing was when they fought against each other for the first time.

At the time, people were calling him a "bigger Dwight Howard," and it's only been a few years since he's evolved to that level.

Even if he can't prove that he is better than him, Howard must let everyone know that he can keep pace with Li Xing.

This time, he got stuck.

Li Xing didn't expect him to be so desperate, even if he was in position, how would he attack?

His imitation version of the middle school student's dreamy dance moves is not impressive at all, and his back attack is not powerful. Even if he is allowed to get the ball in this position, Li Xing is fully sure that he will return home without a feather.

The Lakers found Howard in the low post.

Kobe, who was in poor form, gave up looking for DeRozan to recover points after receiving the ball. He lobbed the ball to Howard, who was full of fighting spirit.

Li Xing waved his hands, as if to poke Howard's eyes blind.

Howard roared, and his superhuman physique slammed into Li Xing's body heavily.

Li Xing took this energy and took a step back.

What Howard wants is for him to take a step back. As long as he takes a step back, he will have room to shoot.

Stuck in the paint, Howard's hand grabbed the ball and pulled it up, aiming at the basket to hook out.

The ball hit the basket, slid around, and bounced out of the basket. Li Xing took the rebound.

"hateful!"

Howard roared and retreated in frustration.

This time, Li Xing was surprised.

It can be seen that Howard is full of strength this time.

Although Li Xing's strength is extremely strong, compared with Howard, who is as obsessed with his body as a bodybuilder, his advantage is not great.

Especially when attacking, Howard tried his best to push back, and Li Xing could only resist, waiting for him to make a shot and wait for an opportunity to block the shot.

If you take a step forward like just now, you will shoot directly.Unless Li Xing's wingspan is three meters, he can't do anything about it.

From this point of view, O'Neal's complaints about Howard make sense. This is a person who only developed himself to 50.

His talent can play at a higher level, but due to some unknown reasons, it has only reached the lower limit.

"Looks like Los Angeles hasn't gotten along well enough."

Angus looked at the point difference and came to this conclusion.

Weber smiled and said, "I don't think so."

"Oh?" Angus looked over.

Although Ellis' position is a bit small, he is also an All-Star player. There are also Kobe and Howard, the league's No. 18 center and the league's No. [-] center. This combination was cut [-] by the Raptors in the third quarter. point.

Angus really didn't know how to explain this matter if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't get in well.

Wade saw it more clearly: "It's not so much that they don't get along well, it's better to say that they are playing uncomfortable basketball."

"Yeah, Mike D'Antoni's system made the guys uncomfortable."

Even O'Neill said so.

"No, I think he's enjoying it," Weber joked.

"You want to get the ball? Very good, I will prove that I can guard you, and I will also prove that I am the number one center in the league, if you can understand me."

Hearing this, Li Xing gave him a mocking smile, and then took the ball to attack from a 45-degree angle on the left.

This is an excellent receiving position.

Here, he can use David Robinson's perfect 45 degrees, and he can also cooperate with pulling the ball behind his back to change direction.

When a step away from the table, Howard first thing to do is to block his way.

Before the contact between the two sides, Li Xing changed hands from behind, which was inconsistent with his original battle plan.

Only when there is a confrontation, can he borrow the strength of the opponent and make movements more easily.

Li Xing also felt a little uncomfortable when he made a move without borrowing his strength.

Howard had suffered from this move before. He deliberately avoided the confrontation that Li Xing wanted. This time, it was indeed effective, and it also indirectly destroyed his defense.

That confrontation is a must.

Without that confrontation, Howard would have no time to keep up with Li Xing's movements.

Li Xing didn't use his strength, he felt uncomfortable at first, and then adjusted, but Howard couldn't adjust his center of gravity, and his left hand was completely empty.

Li Xing stepped in like an arrow, and what happened next was a visual feast for Howard to refresh his three views.

Li Xing broke Howard's defense, and the Lakers also set up a defense for this.

The person who came to assist in the defense was Antawn Jamison, a power forward known as a kaleidoscope of offense, who scored 20000 points in his career.

You know, being as strong as McGrady did not score more than 20000 points for various reasons.

Of course, defense and offense are another matter.

Jamison's defense and offense are not directly proportional. He is a bad defender, but this does not prevent him from making elite-level help defenses this round.

Li Xing's way forward was blocked by him, and if he took a step forward, he would be a beautiful Pongci lying on his back.

At that time, the referee must blow the whistle.

A terrible thing happened. Li Xing started horizontally, without going deep, and jumped to a negative angle. He could only see the corner of the backboard and could not see the basket.

Throwing the ball with the long arm, he lightly raised it under the gaze of everyone.

Absolutely negative angle, the ball flew above the backboard, bypassed the dead corner, and fell into the basket with an indescribable softness.

"20 points!"

"The point difference is 20 points!"

"Larch Lee's magical layup has the audience boiling!" |
After scoring a goal, Li Xing glanced at the helpless Jamison and the stunned Howard.

It's a performance they've never seen before.

Especially Howard, in his opinion, this is not a center's operation.

But the opponent clearly knew that Jiu was the center forward.

"Dwight, I'm going to win the game, you're going to lose this, if you understand me."

After Li Xing finished speaking, he turned and ran away.
