I'm king in the basket

Chapter 487 Dragon Slayer Expert Evans

"Are you trying to tell me that Victor Oladi is handsome?"

As soon as Jordan heard it, he knew that Li Xing was talking nonsense.

"Everyone has their own opinion on this. For example, you may be very happy that you have a pair of protruding ears, but in my opinion, your ears are your minus points."

Jordan couldn't help feeling the urge to pick up something and throw it at Li Xing.

Although his appearance was ridiculed by Barkley as "If you were a billionaire, you would be handsome", but Boss Joe's self-esteem has always been very good, and he will never think that he is ugly. .

However, he also thinks that Fenger is his minus point.

When I was talking trash with Byrd back then, I was speechless because of my protruding ears.

"Well, how long will it take you to give me an answer?" Jordan asked.

"If there is no better player than Victor, I will not give you the answer." Li Xing's answer is also simple and clear.

Jordan can understand this sentence as that once Li Xing has news, it means that he has seen a better player than Oladipo.

Oladipo is already the favorite of the No. [-] pick. If he is selected with the No. [-] pick, Jordan will not be surprised.

Therefore, Jordan needs a few more candidates.

If they don't have a great pick by then, he'll need to pick the best one at a consistent position.

Li Xing stayed at the Northwest Club until ten o'clock in the morning. At that time, the team had already left. He could only take the private plane arranged by Jordan to return to Toronto.

After a six-hour flight, Li Xing arrived in Toronto.

"Say hello to me Michael."

Li Xing said to Jordan's private pilot.

"No problem." The pilot nodded.

Halfway through January, the All-Star Weekend is approaching.

Li Xing has basically secured the top ticket in the All-Star Game. His popularity on the court is no longer something that opponents can stop.

Moreover, he hasn't had any off-site news recently. With his outstanding performance, the number of fans has increased again and again.

If this momentum continues, he will have an unstoppable army of fans.

Their third winning streak also came to an end in January.

The team that ended them was not any strong team that fans predicted, but the Sacramento Kings who were hovering on the edge of the playoffs and crawling forward.

The Kings have two stars, Evans and Cousins.

Apart from Li Xing, Evans is the most ferocious player in the 09 class.

This season, his rating reached 90 points, which can be said to be a real superstar.

He is known as the LBJ at the point guard position. He averaged 25+7+7 per game this season, but it is a pity that he is deeply trapped in the quagmire of the Kings.

Although Cousins ​​​​is also very promising, his training direction has been wrong, and he has not developed a dominant defense.

When he plays well on the offensive end, even Li Xing can't restrain him, but his defense is not as trusted by his teammates as other great centers.

If the team's center defense is not strong, others will have to spend a lot of energy on the defensive end, because the gates of the inside are unreliable.

Those who defend the interior very well, even if their offense is not very good, the team's record is usually good.

On the contrary, just like the two extremes, the inside line with strong offense and weak defense usually struggles.

They can produce very beautiful data, but the team is also in a dilemma.

They can easily score 20+10 or even 30+10 every game, but the team will eventually lose the game, and then fans who can't see the essence of the problem will advocate the "teammate CUBA" theory.

This is also the biggest difference between Li Xing and them.

Li Xing was based on defense as soon as he debuted. He averaged 7 blocks per game in his rookie season, and he maintained it for three consecutive seasons.

Because of his defense, the rest of the Raptors can put a lot of energy on offense.

Of course, a monster like Li Xing is a special case.

There are few people in history who can prevent the opponent from scoring in the paint for an entire game.

As a result, they still lost to the king.

Third defeat of the season.

This battle can be called the masterpiece of Evans' career.

Attentive fans will find that Evans often explodes in games against the Raptors.

This time it can be said to be an unprecedented volcanic eruption, comparable to the planet that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs to hit the earth.

Two meters tall, strong body, five-point shooting and five-point breakthrough, coupled with the vision brought by his tall height, he was in excellent condition that night and had an excellent touch.

This state is simply for the purpose of picking down giants.

The Raptors' three guards were all blown up. In order to limit Evans, Li Xing had to come over and change defenses. As a result, Cousins ​​also broke out.

Falling inside and outside, coupled with the fact that the Raptors don't feel good, Li Xing can't stand alone.

Evans scored 48 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists like a god, ending the Raptors' nine-game winning streak and achieving a dragon-slaying feat in the center of the route.

At the end of the game, Evans grabbed the ball on the ground and threw it hard into the air, screaming loudly.

Beating the Raptors is the common goal of all teams. The season is half over. Before tonight, they had only lost two games, and they personally let the other party taste the third defeat.

"Tyreke, don't be complacent, we still have a game."

DeRozan stared at Evans and said softly.

"Hmph, I'm not proud, do you think I'm proud of defeating you?"

Evans felt amused, beating the Raptors is a happy event, but what really made him out of control like Jordan "The shot" lore Cavaliers is that they ranked among the top eight in the Western Conference with this victory.

Moreover, beating the Raptors will not only get them headlines, but it will also boost the team's morale.

This is of great help to them in consolidating their rankings and continuing to compete.

Li Xing doesn't like to lose, even for him, there are games that he can't win no matter what.

He has long been used to it, no matter how strong his strength is, there will be a day when he overturns.

It's just a regular season, and the Kings are justified in winning.

"Larch, you have nothing to say this time, right? I scored 30 points tonight!"

Cousins ​​showed off loudly in front of Li Xing in a hurry.

Li Xing smiled wryly, he did play well tonight.

But as DeRozan said, they will meet again in the regular season, and it will not be too late to collect debts then.

As soon as the Raptors lost, reporters from all walks of life began to jump out.

For those teams that Li Xing had ridiculed, the reporters who came for them asked embarrassing questions one after another.

Li Xing responded with wry smiles, sneers, jokes, and ridicules.

In the end he couldn't bear it any longer, he opened his mouth and fired everywhere, and there was no limit to his cannon fire, he could hit wherever he wanted.

The Raptors' press conference is a repertoire for fans, and tonight did not disappoint.

Even if Li Xing loses, he is confident and confident, and he is not afraid of anyone.

The reporter had no choice but to avoid him.

The news conference, which was not pleasant for reporters, ended halfway through the estimated time.

Li Xing was so angry that no one spoke at the scene, and none of those questions were useful.

Although Snyder felt that Li Xing was open to discussion on some matters, he did a great job of beating reporters and gagging their mouths before they spoke.

Back in the locker room, Snyder didn't say a single word for tonight's game.

Just let everyone rest well and have a meeting on time tomorrow morning.

"I know, in fact, I lost this game."

Dragic said: "If I can guard Tyreke, Luckey won't have to work so hard."

"I didn't guard him either," Stephenson said.

"Me too."

Seeing them share the blame here, Li Xing said: "If you say so, my problem is not small, because DeMarcus scored 30 points in front of me, but these are not problems."

"Go home and sleep well."

Li Xing could understand their feelings.

They don't want to lose this game, because the Raptors' record is getting better and better, and some people are expecting them to surpass the 96 Bulls and win the regular season record.

Although they are still some time away from this record, they are not inferior to the 96 Bulls' record in the same period. They have a chance.

The media advocates, the fans chatter, and the players will naturally be tempted.

The 96 Bulls are a symbol of the times. Almost all the players on the field grew up watching the Bulls' games. Now they have the opportunity to transcend history and create legends. Everyone is very attentive.

However, this expectation can also become a pressure.

Li Xing didn't have so many ideas, it was impossible not to lose.

The important thing is that the next time they play against the Kings, they have to fight the other side so badly that they can relieve their anger. This is the key.

Li Xing said goodbye to his teammates, picked up his backpack and walked out of the locker room.

Dante and Olina wait here for a long time.

"Want to have a drink?"

Li Xing would drink some wine every time he lost, so Dante asked.

"Go home directly. Drinking at home is more affordable. I don't want to be caught by reporters again." Li Xing said.

Olina was startled.

Is this the sun coming out in the west?This guy is actually worried about being caught?

"Larch, what's wrong with you?"

Olina asked.

Li Xing said: "No, I just want to go home. As you can see, we were beaten badly tonight. I don't want to eat, drink and have fun outside, giving people a feeling that I don't care about the game or the outcome. go home."

After a while, Li Xing returned to the Lincoln apartment.

Dai Linsi and the others prepared a delicious supper, and they will watch TV together later.

At home, Li Xing threw all the frustration of losing out the door, and entered the main hall with a smile on his face.

"Larch, you just came back just in time. I just made an egg tart, and the taste is different from any you've ever eaten!" Dai Linsi excitedly pulled Li Xing to the dining table.

They knew Li Xing very well, so they didn't mention the night's game.

Li Xing also happened to change his mind. At a glance, the table was full of delicacies. He took a bite, and the delicious egg tarts melted in his mouth, and the boredom of losing also melted away.
