I'm king in the basket

Chapter 488 Pick-and-roll vs. pick-and-roll

The Raptors ended February perfectly.

They've now played 44 regular-season games and lost just three.

41 wins and 3 losses, unless the Heat can continue the current winning streak to the end of the season, they can't even see the tail lights of the Raptors.

This is the current situation of the Raptors, and it is also an intuitive manifestation of their dominance.

In the first game in February, they will face the Milwaukee Bucks at home.

For old fans in China, this is a familiar team. Kong Tianyi has given others countless expectations here. Although he eventually fell, those expectations really existed.

Because of Kong Tianyi's joining, the Bucks immediately became famous. In fact, they are a veteran team. They also had an absolute superstar like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in history, and they even won a championship in Chamberlain's era.

Of course, these are things that happened nearly half a century ago, and it is useless to think about them.

The Bucks made that win-win deal with the Lakers in the summer to make them competitive in the East.

Jennings and Gasol, this kind of lineup is considered very good in the Eastern Conference. With these two as the core, they are currently ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference.

As a representative of the 09 generation, Jennings' progress is not as fierce as Evans.

Except for Li Xing, who is riding the dust, many people thought that he and Evans would become the double pride of the 09 class.

As a result, not to mention the double arrogance, Evans has already surpassed him, and Curry Harden DeRozan has also come from behind. Griffin, the No. 20 pick, has played two consecutive 10+[-] seasons.

Jennings encountered a bottleneck, his score stayed at 88 points, and it was difficult to continue to break through.

In the route center arena, the touch of green on the Bucks is particularly attractive.

At a glance, Li Xing saw that this team not only had a ruthless character like Jennings, but also a soft character like Gasol, as well as a bastard like JJ Redick who would definitely blow him up when he saw him.

And there's a badass poet -- Larry Sanders.

This person is definitely the eternal regret of the Bucks fans. He obviously has a good talent. If he can transfer his love of art to basketball, he will definitely achieve some results.

It's a pity that this person only regards basketball as a sideline.

He likes to paint, he likes to write poems, he likes all kinds of literary and artistic things, of course such a vulgar job as playing basketball can only be used as a sideline job, he is a civilized person.

The main players on both sides shook hands on the LOGO.

Li Xing glanced at Gasol. It seemed that he was doing well here, and his scores were stable. He probably forgot about Kobe.

"Larch, tonight's game, we will strive to pay tribute to Sacramento." Gasol said.

Li Xing looked disdainful, shook his hand lightly, turned and left.

"Larch, you're being rude."

Jennings stopped him; "I haven't shaken your hand yet."

Li Xing looked back, and Jennings stretched out his hand.

Li Xing could feel the malice in him: "No need."

After all, without giving face at all, just leave.

Jennings' face changed, he didn't expect Li Xing to treat him like this.

DeRozan stood next to him and said, "Don't mind, Luckey is like that. If you really want to shake someone's hand, I can."

Before DeRozan could speak, Jennings turned and left.

"I now seriously doubt that the players of your class have not taken etiquette lessons." Bargnani said.

DeRozan was so angry: "We are not waiters, what kind of etiquette class are we taking?"

The two sides stand apart, and the starters come on stage.

Li Xing stepped forward, and his opponent was Larry Sanders, a man who had escaped the vulgar taste.

The current Sanders is not the best poet in the NBA who later made the Bucks fans feel sad. Now he is still full of talent, with first-class ability to protect the basket, Gasol's hand warmer, and a caring partner.

What Gasol is not good at doing is what he is good at, and he will not be like Bynum. He turned around and snickered at the camera when he was suffering.

In every way, Sanders is a good teammate.

Li Xing found out that he has A- potential, but unfortunately he has no interest in basketball.

The two jumped up together. As long as Li Xing is willing, he will not lose to anyone in the jump ball. This time is the same, he patted the ball to Dragic.

"In the end, it was still jumped by Larch."

"Larry is great, but still a lot worse than Lucky."

Li Xing got into a fight with Sanders in the first round.

Sanders went from being a 12-minute backup last season to possibly finishing in the top [-] in two statistical categories -- blocks (required) and rebounds (possible).

He doesn't have the workload of a typical starter, and if converted to per-48 minutes, he could crack the top five in both statistics.

Physical fitness and excellent conditions are the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the league, and defense is the most attractive part of him.

Li Xing's attack was also very crisp, without too much movement, he grabbed a step and directly hooked.

The old Bucks fans watched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar use a similar hook to score them point after point more than 40 years ago. Now, the same move is reproduced in the hands of someone who has no respect for the predecessors.

Sanders will feel that "basketball is actually quite interesting" only when he competes with such a master.

Li Xing didn't expect that he would have a chance to save someone's career, and now he just wants to blow Sanders away.

Compared with Sanders' little thoughts, Jennings's thoughts are more pure.

What I didn't say was to beat Li Xing to death and let him know that respecting people is the basic code of conduct.

Gasol's pick-and-roll perfectly blocked Dragic's follow-up route, and Jennings passed him for a pull-up jumper.

Bargnani's switch is like a joke, it doesn't look serious at all.

"Defense like shit!"

After Jennings succeeded in the jumper, he stared at Bargnani and uttered the words of heartbreak.

Bargnani said angrily, "How dare you underestimate me?"

"At least he evaluated your defense, which shows that your defense still has some weight."

DeRozan really needs to take etiquette lessons. His comforting people will only drive people to death.

"Are you comforting me?"

Bargnani took the bubble to the front court and frantically asked for the ball.

Dragic saw him like this, and it was not appropriate not to give the ball.

Bargnani took the ball without making any adjustments, just pulled it up and shot, and hit the iron directly.

Gasol took the rebound, and the Bucks counterattacked.

Jennings ran extremely fast. Dragic wanted to foul, but his footsteps were not as fast as Jennings, and he couldn't pull people at all.

Jennings' counterattack ended successfully like a whirlwind.

The fans made some dissatisfied voices.

Defensive counterattack was originally the Raptors' forte, but the opponent actually did this at their home court. Moreover, Bargnani lost two consecutive points and was closely related.

It is inevitable that some low-quality fans will yell at Bargnani.

"Damn Italian, are you a fucking idiot?"

Fans tend to scold their own players harder than other fans, because they know the shortcomings of their players best, and they always hit the nail on the head when they scold.

"Don't worry about those idiots." Li Xing said to Bargnani.

Bargnani also hopes that he can be as calm and calm as he said, but it is really difficult.

Leave those idiots alone?
Bargnani gritted his teeth and continued to ask for the ball.

With the previous experience, Dragic no longer allowed him to attack.

"Andrea, you have to change positions, I can't pass the ball when you are there!" Dragic yelled.

Bargnani cursed secretly and had to change positions.

When he ran to the position designated by Dragic, the ball had already passed to Li Xing.

Li Xing grabbed the ball with one hand, stared at Sanders, and said, "Do you think your defense is good?"

Sanders didn't understand what he said, and in an instant, Lee's lucky ball broke through.

He was about to get stuck with his body, but Li Xing pulled the ball from behind to change direction, completely got rid of him, broke into the penalty area, grabbed the ball with his right hand and dunked and scored.

This is an attack that makes people speechless.

Li Xing destroyed Sanders' defense.

Sanders stares, when he doesn't feel like basketball, playing against such a master can find a long-lost love.

Li Xing's strength far exceeded his imagination.

Basketball is not as simple as he thought.

"Larch, don't think this is the end!"

Jennings took the ball from the outside and yelled at Li Xing through two people.

Li Xing glanced at him without saying a word.

Then his attack started.

He scored 4 points for the Bucks in a row, and this goal is the same.

His speed is too fast, not to mention Dragic, even if others come, the Raptors don't have a guard who can keep up with him.

Moreover, when he completes the breakthrough, his first goal is not to kill inside, but to use the emergency stop jumper to finish.

"Shua!" |
"He's hit the nail on the head tonight!"

Quincy Angus said worriedly.

"Yes, he is too calm, even in their home court, right?"

Damon Stoudemire also thinks Jennings is in great shape.

Snyder stood watching from the sidelines, and Dragic was attacked continuously, but he didn't say anything.

Li Xing picked up the floor ball, handed it to Dragic, and said, "Don't be beaten and don't fight back."

"what do you mean?"

"If you need my help, just ask." Li Xing said.

Dragic was waiting for his words.

In this era where it is difficult to survive without pick-and-roll offense, Dragic is one of the best.

In Europe, pick-and-rolls have already flourished, and Dragic, who has been influenced by the European system, is good at playing various pick-and-rolls.

His response came quickly.

If you can't defend your opponent, you can only rely on offensive counterattacks.

Li Xing deliberately left a distance of two steps so that Jennings could hit him.

Jennings' defense was heavily guarded, and it was really difficult to break through one-on-one. Dragic glanced at Li Xing's pick-and-roll position, immediately activated and charged.

Jennings rushed to Li Xing's body and was knocked down directly.

Dragic's speed threw off Jennings who was defending, and flew to the layup to score.
