I'm king in the basket

Chapter 48 Unsightly Defense

White Chocolate once again let Howard take off with an alley-oop dunk.

This was the Magic's first positional goal in the fourth quarter.

This dunk is Howard's sixth dunk in this game, and every dunk is a dunk that can be among today's top ten shots.

In the third quarter, Li Xing completed ten blocks against Redick, and the last block directly covered Redick's face with the ball, causing him to be carried out on the spot, and White Chocolate played from there.

However, his arrival did not weaken the strength of the Magic.

Although he is old, he has a good sense of passing, and he is in a good state tonight. He has completely taken over Redick's work and cooperated well with the main force. minutes" idea.

Tonight's Bosh feels very good, from the free throw line to the three-point line, almost without missing a shot.

However, it's also weird.

The shooting feels so good that it explodes, but the basket is 4 for 0 shots, so that Bosh has a sense of disgust for the offense under the basket.

This round, Rashard Lewis' defense against Bosh was in place, preventing him from being able to make a shot.

Li Xing raised his hand from a high position and shouted: "Boss!"

Bosh minded not being a greedy person. Seeing that Li Xing was in a better position, he passed the ball decisively.

Then there was the one-on-one between Li Xing and Howard.

Howard didn't dare to shoot again. Whether Li Xing's mid-range shot today was a fluke or he knew how to shoot, it was impossible to let him shoot again today.

"Happily, Luckey finally has an offensive threat in the high post, but there is also a problem, we will never be satisfied, just like Luckey should not be satisfied with high-post shots, his offense has a lot of plasticity !"

"Yes, the combination of sudden investment is king."

What Stoudemire called "sudden investment combination" is exactly Li Xing's idea.

When Howard's defense is entangled, his only thought is to break through him. Although his dribbling attributes are not high, he also wants to try.

Li Xing held his breath, put the ball on the ground suddenly, and made an exaggerated crotch dribble in front of Howard. It was a big move, ugly, but amazingly explosive.

Howard was moved away. He never expected that Li Xing would attack in such a way, and his reaction was not timely enough.

Li Xing took a big step inside and entered the paint area, and the Magic's defense came in an instant.

A 220cm big man dribbles through?This is so irrational!
Just as Lewis was about to steal Li Xing's ball, Li Xing suddenly turned around and leaned against Lewis, slammed into it hard, slapped the ball, adjusted his posture, and pressed the opponent to force it.

The long arms are holding the ball as if they are about to break through the clouds and reach an unmatched high point.

Holding the ball with the index finger, thumb and middle finger, just above the basket, he put it like a dragonfly on water, and the ball fell into the basket like a stone sinking into the sea.

The scene was silent.

"Pull~~~~~ Odd!!"

The roar of the DJ drove the roar of the audience, and they shouted crazily, higher and higher one after another.

Stoudemire said in surprise: "Is this a move made by a 220 cm big guy? Is it true? Are you kidding me?"

"Lachey is not as clumsy as those traditional big men. He can finish with shots in the high post, and he can also dribble and break through to the basket. It's perfect!"

"He just dribbled twice, right?" Bosh asked.

Bargnani nodded: "Yes, if you and I have good eyesight."

Dribbling the ball once and twice is fine for outsiders, but it's not the same for insiders.

One dribble shows that he has the ability to attack the basket at close range, which is the lowest face-to-basket attack.

The strategic significance of dribbling twice is much greater.

Again, the inside line is different from the outside line. Once the inside line holds the ball, the opponent's defensive attention will be restrained. You must be prepared to be double-teamed at any time. At the same time, you must protect the ball when you are double-teamed to avoid being double-teamed. broken.

Those well-known inside face-to-the-basket masters can dribble the ball more than twice when facing the basket, and they are particularly calm in the face of double-teams.

At this stage, Li Xing is still immature when facing double-teams, but he has already shown the potential to dribble more than twice facing the basket.

So what did he show tonight?

Except for the ones we all know, help defense, screens, rebounding and so on.

He has shown: the ability to finish high as a pick-and-roller and the ability to take over the ball as a finisher and end the offense when the team is unable to turn around.

These two abilities are the dividing line between one-way superstars and two-way superstars.

If Li Xing can't attack, he can only become a tall version of Howard. Although he can still dominate the game, it is regrettable.

But now, he has shown that he is different from Howard.

目前，霍华德16分16篮板5封盖，而李幸呢，他得到了18分16篮板11封盖。

Facing the No. [-] center with such a performance, it is tantamount to saying to the whole league: "Wolf is coming!"

A guy who can change the league has appeared, just like LeBron James back then, he is the kind of player who makes people know "this is a fucking genius" at a glance.

Triano stomped excitedly: "Good! Good!"

"Coach, are you okay?" Belinelli worried that Triano had suffered a sudden stroke.

Triano turned around and muttered: "Do I look good?" "Good! Very good!" Belinelli dare not say bad.

There are three kinds of coaches in the NBA. One is a very lucky coach. He does not need to have many real talents. He only needs to meet superstars, please them, and then succeed together with them; Talented coaches, they are often full of confidence in their coaching prospects, but are very dissatisfied with the status quo; the third type of coach is the legendary talented coach, even if he is given a bad hand, he can lead the team to a good game Contest.

Triano belongs to the second type. He has ambitions but lacks the mind of a genius coach, so when he saw Li Xing, he knew it was a gift from heaven.

"Great! This kid is a fucking monster!" Triano couldn't hide his excitement.

Evans did not know where to find another bucket of popcorn: "It is indeed a monster, this kid."

"Reggie, can I have your popcorn?" Morrison had just tested his blood sugar and everything was normal.

Evans said generously, "Please."

The reporters on the sidelines took pictures of this scene and quickly thought of the name of the photo in their minds.

Many players of the Toronto Raptors stole food during the game, and the lack of discipline can be seen.
The battle between Li Xing and Howard was just about to reach its climax. The two started from the position, just like two experienced sumo wrestlers, just wanting to overwhelm each other.

At this time, Carter stood up.

When the Magic's tactics were stuck and Howard couldn't contain Li Xing, he made a courageous and murderous long-range three-pointer.

Love him and hate him, show him the best of you.

This is Carter's attitude. When playing against the Raptors, the audience always sees the best of Carter.

Such a long three-pointer, Li Xing has already seen three goals tonight.

If it wasn't for Carter's too eye-catching figure, he would have almost thought that Curry in his memory had transmigrated into Carter's body.

Carter's three-pointer is so strong?

"Yes."

The system replied coldly.

Li Xing wiped the sweat off his face and didn't say much.

There are many players like Carter who have overshadowed other advantages because of a certain skill.

Carter is a comprehensive offensive player, but unfortunately his performance in the slam dunk contest back then was too shocking, and many people would not specifically watch his game. Everyone likes the highlights.

The real Carter is not as violent as in the highlights. He is very skilled and has superb shooting skills. The most surprising thing is that his number of dunks is not as good as that of some perimeter players of the same period.

As the saying goes, what is expensive is the quality, not the amount, and that is exactly what it means.

The dunk overwhelmed Carter's talent, but it also left him an indelible page in NBA history.

Li Xing didn't have the hatred of Torontonians for Carter, not only that, but also a little admiration.

With such a good physical condition, it is amazing to be able to practice such a good technique.

Afterwards, Li Xing gave Bosh a pick-and-roll, and the latter finally mustered up the courage to sprint to the basket with the ball. This time, he successfully scored and caused a foul by Lewis.

He raised his long neck, let out a loud roar, splashed saliva, and sprayed Li Xing all over the face.

"Boss, you have to pay attention to your quality." Li Xing silently wiped the spittle off his face, and walked away expressionlessly.

Bosh made an extra penalty, offsetting Carter's three-pointer.

The situation continues to be deadlocked.

Matt Barnes stood in the corner waiting for his chance.

Bargnani's height is indeed bluffing, and you will know the depth after the game-this Italian's defense is useless at all, nothing to be afraid of!

Therefore, Barnes kept asking for the ball, and when his teammates passed the ball, he directly made a shooting action.

Bargnani jumped up with his hands like noodles, "cazzo!"

The feint that couldn't be more fake still fooled Bargnani.

Barnes rushed to the basket, pushed up against Bosh, but failed to make it.

Howard was about to grab a rebound, but was caught by Li Xing, and he stretched his long arm to take off the rebound.

"Andre, are you here to be funny? This defense is too unsightly!" Li Xing couldn't help but said.

Bargnani said: "We are partners, can you save me some face?"

"It's a good partner if you talk about it. Your defense just now was unsightly." Li Xing said lightly.

Bargnani is a fool, no matter how you say it, it doesn't work: "Be tolerant and don't pick on each other. We are not only teammates, but also the first combination in the NBA. You should know me, and I don't want to."

Hi.
Li Xing lost his temper and was too lazy to talk to him. The ball was passed to Calderon and he ran to the frontcourt.

The two had just taken their positions when suddenly DeRozan passed by Bargnani and made a counter-run with Li Xing.

Li Xing cut to the basket, caught the ball and dunked, scoring his 20th point of the night.
