I'm king in the basket

Chapter 453 To commemorate this

"TD will remember this shot."

"Yeah, Luckey ended the offense the way he knows best."

In recent years, as the Spurs' offensive system has gradually become Princetonized, the center has been used more and more as a central axis to support others. Duncan rarely uses the signature 45-degree angle to hit the board.

Li Xing's move reminds people of Li Xing when he was young.

Moreover, he did not simply imitate. Before using this trick, he also used Duncan's old rival Dirk Nowitzki's signature move Golden Rooster Independence.

Combining two moves into one, it's not like one plus one is greater than two, it just looks a bit more showy.

Looking at this ball, Duncan will also have some thoughts.

That's how he came here back then.

Li Xing and Bargnani took turns to play their hands and feet on the offensive end, while the Spurs played smooth and changeable tactics around the whole team.

This style of play is in line with their usual style.

It is by virtue of superb tactical quality that the situation in the first quarter was maintained.

No one can take the lead all at once.

After the first quarter, the Spurs and Raptors at home drew to a tie.

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes.

The Spurs' substitutes are the same as the main players. They seem to be mediocre players with little talent, but when they are grouped together, they have an excellent chemical reaction.

Sometimes, they'll pop up completely unrecognizable players to take over the game.

You don't know who this guy is until the end of his show.

This is the magic of the Spurs. They have been standing at the top of the league for many years and they lack high-level rookies.

The Raptors claim to have the thickest lineup depth in the league, and their second team can often gain an advantage against the opponent's second team.

The opponent is the Spurs, and Snyder is looking forward to their advantage.

As a result, Stephenson's inexplicable brainstorming confused the second team.

As the sixth man, Stephenson is deeply trusted by the bench, and everyone is willing to hand over the game to him.

As a result, he didn't play as expected tonight.

Not only did he fail to play the role of Ding Haishenzhen, but he output a lot of negative emotions. He had friction with Patrick Mills of the Spurs.

Nobody knows what happened to Mills, it started off as a bit of a spat, and later the spearheads escalated.

Mills pushed him first, and then things got out of hand.

Stephenson and him almost had a big fight on the field, but fortunately, the teammates on both sides stopped it in time, and the conflict did not escalate further.

The referee gave Mills a T, and then asked the head coaches of both sides to pull him down for education.

Snyder's face was livid, and he took the initiative to replace Calderon.

"Tragedy still happened," Bargnani said.

Li Xing asked: "Are you happy?"

"No, I feel sad for Lance."

Bargnani said.

It's absolutely terrible for Stephenson that this happened.

He urgently needs to prove himself with his performance on the court now, but such a performance cannot prove it for him.

With Dragic becoming more and more calm, he who wanted to be in the top position not only failed to stabilize his position, but repeatedly became abnormal.

"Coach, let me go and see him." Li Xing said.

Snyder glanced at the time: "Go and come back."

"no problem."

With a towel hanging on his body, Li Xing walked towards the player tunnel.

"Lachey walked into the tunnel alone, what happened? Did he give up the game?"

The explanation without any source can only be guessed through the appearance.

Facts have proved that guessing through appearances is just a wild guess, not convincing at all.

Li Xing left alone, and they guessed several possibilities.

A: Li Xing was dissatisfied with the referee at the scene, and left the field with Stephenson in order to show his attitude.This is the guess with the most approval.

B: Li Xing and Snyder had a conflict and left the stage angrily.The argument is that Li Xing said a few words to Snyder before leaving the stage.

C: There are three urgencies. He went to the bathroom.

Even more boring people launched a quiz on the spot, because when the game is over, the reporter will definitely ask about this matter. With Li Xing's usual style, he will not hide the matter in his heart.

Stephenson returned to the locker room and kicked over the chair by the door.

"It's all fucking shit!"

"What's wrong? You're so angry."

This voice was too familiar to Stephenson, he looked over and it was indeed Li Xing.

Li Xing was able to see him, and Stephenson was very moved: "Aren't you going to compete?"

"In order to protect the public goods in the dressing room from being damaged, I feel that it is necessary for me to be absent for a few minutes."

Li Xing said: "The game is not over yet, and you have not been expelled. If there is fire, spread it on the court."

"I'm just not convinced!"

Stephenson said.

"Unconvinced?" Li Xing was puzzled.

"That bastard looks down on me!" Stephenson's anger came from this.

Mills lashed out at Stephenson, saying that they are all substitutes, and that they must be soy sauce for others in the future. Of course, he is not angry.

Stephenson, who was aiming to start, went back on the spot.

Moreover, because he was angry, his emotions were extraordinarily agitated.

Sensitive Mills saw that this was Stephenson's G-spot, of course he wanted to seize this point and attack continuously, saying all kinds of ugly and flat words.

Once Stephenson's uncontrollable emotional flow broke out, it was normal for conflicts to arise.

That's how it all started.

After listening to his narration, Li Xing said, "So, you just want to fight?"

"No, I just wanted to scare him, but I didn't expect him." Stephenson was a little embarrassed.

He didn't want to make a shot, but Mills pushed him. If he didn't fight back, what face would he have standing on the court?

"If that's your answer, I'm honestly disappointed."

"That's why, I recommended Goran Dragic to the team."

Stephenson was shocked.

Li Xing's meddling in the team's affairs has long been rumored, and he has heard a little about it.

At that time, there were definite reports that Li Xing participated in the recruitment of Dragic, and Stephenson never wanted to face this matter.

If this is Li Xing's suggestion, it means that even his most respected Li Xing feels that he is not good enough to be the team's starter.

"Who do you think is better, me or Golan?"

"At first I wasn't so sure, but tonight I'm sure."

"At this stage, Golan is indeed the better one, and it is difficult for you to surpass him in the short term."

Li Xing didn't say it to death. In terms of the potential value of the two, if they were not injured, Stephenson would not be able to keep up with Dragic.

Stephenson looked gloomy.

In his heart, Li Xing was a god on high, unmatched by anyone.

He trains hard and makes progress all the time, all in order to be able to start with Li Xing one day.

Li Xing recommended Dragic to the team, which felt like denying him.

"But you have something in you that Golan doesn't have."

Li Xing is not good at talking, and he doesn't like to preach, but in this position, his every move will change many people's minds.

He has to.

"Your passion, your enthusiasm, and your fighting spirit overflowing all the time, this is what Golan does not have. This is your advantage."

Li Xing said: "Maybe you shouldn't compare yourself with Golan, you should compare yourself."

"Do you think you have improved compared to last season?" Li Xing asked.

"I"

"Don't answer me."

"Ask yourself."

Li Xing said.

Reflecting back, Stephenson wondered if he had improved.

From the day when it was reported that the team reached a verbal agreement with Dragic, he was restless.

And when the two sides signed a formal contract and Dragic became a member of the Raptors, this feeling became stronger.

He has a sense of crisis.

A better player joins the team, he knows the other side is better than himself, so he just works hard.

Since that day, Stephenson has been comparing himself to Dragic.

The comparison slowly turned from pure competition to hostility.

"It's almost time for me to go back, how about you?"

Li Xing said: "If you want to stay here and smash things, I won't stop you. In the end, you are the one who gets hurt."

"I didn't get sent off, I can still play." Stephenson said.

"Then come with me."

Li Xing led the way, followed by Stephenson.

Li Xing didn't know how effective today's conversation would be. He only hoped that Stephenson could let go of his obsession temporarily.

He needs to prove himself, not just to Snyder, but to others.

There are 30 teams in the NBA, and each team has a strong scout network. Which players are strong, which players are buried, which players deserve better roles, and which players can be traded? Make a clear assessment and give it to the team, and then those who hold the decision-making power will look at the material selection.

No one wants to go to Thanksgiving with a loss, so both sides showed a willingness to not lose.

Especially in the fourth quarter, the fans saw the feeling of the playoffs.

Even in the playoffs, there is no need to fight to this extent.

In the last 3 minutes, Ginobili suffered thigh cramps and was carried off by four players.

His departure declared that the confrontation of this game has reached its peak.

The Raptors have won so many games in a row, and the Spurs are the only team that can push them this far.

In the last 30 seconds, Duncan threw an incredible running hook against Li Xing and hit the board.

The score was tied.

Then, Li Xing took the initiative to hold the ball, which was also a one-on-one attack between superstars.

Without fear of double-teaming, Li Xing broke through Duncan's defense with the ball, rushed to the basket, and scored 2+1 with the fingertips of the legendary Spurs superstar George Gervin.

Especially when the basketball flew out of Li Xing's fingertips, everything fell silent.

goal,

Li Xing walked in front of Duncan and high-fived Bargnani.

all looked at him,
The [-] spectators at the scene prayed for additional penalties.

"Shh!"

Added a free throw, and then, Li Xing gave Mills a desperate block from the outside.

Time is up.

The Raptors finally defeated the Spurs by 3 points, and they will return to the home court with a complete victory to welcome the arrival of Thanksgiving.
