I'm king in the basket

Chapter 496 Out of Control
In three consecutive away games, the Raptors have achieved two wins and one loss.

In the first away game, the Raptors came to Utah.

In this place ruled by Mormons, they are not welcome. The fans here are extremely fanatical, and they treat every incoming enemy with the same attitude.

They wanted to drive the enemy out of Utah, just like the native Indians who wanted to drive out the outsiders.

As a result, outsiders with advanced weapons carried out a bloody massacre on this group of stubborn natives.

Just like tonight's game.

It's hard to play jazz in Utah tonight.

This team, which made Chinese fans angry and hated, blocked the Yao Mai Rockets in the last ten years.

Today, there is only one Millsap left in that annoying Jazz.

Sloan, who had turned against his disciples, was exhausted and chose to retire, taking away his thousand victories, but no championship.

Boozer went to the Windy City, but failed to join forces with Rose.

Rose fell down due to injury long before they joined forces, and there was no hope of blooming.

Deron, who turned against Sloan, thought that the management would choose the star between the head coach and the stars like other teams.

As a result, the Jazz's management first agreed to Sloan's resignation, and then put Deron on the shelves to show their support for Sloan.

Deron, a rebellious boy, plummeted after leaving the Jazz, as if he had been cursed.

The rebuilding Jazz had no chance against the Raptors, and they ended up losing by 30 points at home.

The fans at the scene were so angry that they read the Book of Mormon.

But to no avail, their opponents went away victorious, leaving them to clean up the field.

This game started a good start for this road trip, which was expected to be smooth all the way.

Then came the second stop. The Raptors traveled thousands of miles and came to Brooklyn to challenge the Nets.

As a strong team in the Eastern Conference, the Eagles made a decent resistance. They stalemate with the Raptors until the end of the game, and finally lost.

Joe Johnson showed his prowess and scored 40 points on Middleton's head.

Johnson is known as the contemporary Jordan, and his skills are extremely suitable for amateur fans to learn.

He had 5 seasons with an average of 20 points per game, and the highest season was 25 points. However, Rao is such a scorer, and he only scored 6 points in a single game 40 times in his career.

This battle against the Raptors can be regarded as a masterpiece of his career, but it is a pity that he did not win the game, otherwise it would have been included in his catalog of elite games.

"Offense is important, but defense is equally important."

"I didn't see any defense on them, especially the little fat guy."

Li Xing publicly pointed out Delong.

Coincidentally, I was just a guest at Deron's old club in the last game, and I came to Brooklyn in the next game, and played a game with this anti-bone guy.

Li Xing doesn't like jazz, and he doesn't have friendship with Sloan, he just doesn't like Delong.

When I was chasing and watching the Rockets game, the scene of Deron blowing up the Rockets guard is still vivid in my mind. Now I have the opportunity to beat this guy, how can I let it go?
"Deron is not fat"

Reporters at the scene raised questions.

Li Xing had a bad face: "I said fat, so he is fat, understand?"

For this kind of lunatic, the reporter has no choice but to let him shoot indiscriminately here. Who told the Nets to let him win the game?
If the Raptors lose, everything will be easy to handle.

Give you a chance, you are useless!
As for the team that gave the Raptors the fifth defeat of the season, it is a typical team that seized the opportunity when it was given.

Golden State Warriors.

Li Xing doesn't know how much history will change because of his arrival, but he knows that in a few years, Curry will lead the Warriors to rise strongly, play a magnificent regular season, and then lead the rise of the small ball.

In the previous life, when Curry rose to prominence, Li Xing's focus was no longer on basketball.

Even if he doesn't follow basketball, he can often see highlights of Curry online.

Dexterous dribbling and throwing, dizzying three-pointers every day, his three-point shooting methods have always existed in people's imagination.

Many people who play basketball must have imagined that they can hit long-range three-pointers as freely as Kobe hits the difficult mid-range.

The existence of Curry realized this fantasy, and at the same time brought the game to a new level, leading to the prevalence of a style of play.

Curry in the 2012-13 season was not praised.

In the eyes of many people, he may be the best shooter after Ray Allen. Only those who are really familiar with him can know how promising his future is.

This season has been a watershed moment.

Until this season, Curry had only one second-team All-Rookie honor.

After this year, his trend will rise rapidly like a train.

The Battle of Golden State is also the final stop of the Raptors' three-way trip. After this game, they will go home.

Everyone wanted to go home with victory, but Curry said NO to everyone.

The first is the opportunity given by the Raptors. They don't feel good, and the whole team feels bad.

Moreover, tonight's referee did not play cards according to common sense.

It can even be said that he hates Li Xing very much.

This is the basis for the Warriors to defeat the Raptors. Otherwise, with their inside configuration, it would be impossible to beat the Raptors. 30+20.

The referee dominated the trend of the game. When Li Xing wanted to go to the basket to grab a rebound, several consecutive fouls were like the prohibition card in "Game King", restraining Li Xing's hands and feet and preventing him from playing.

At the same time, Curry also seized this opportunity.

When Li Xing was sent off due to a foul crisis on his back, Curry went into berserk mode, and then played a wave of attacks that later became known as "waves".

In less than 5 minutes, Curry scored five consecutive three-pointers.

The originally deadlocked match instantly turned into a one-sided crush.

This is the first time since the start of the season that someone can beat the Raptors like this.

In the second half, when Li Xing came back, the situation improved, but the referee's whistle was like a sharp knife hanging above his head, like a stab in the throat, completely locking up the Raptors.

Until the end of the game, the Raptors did not catch up.

Curry scored 44 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists. In terms of tonight's performance alone, he can be said to be the best player in the game, blowing up the Raptors' back line.

This made the Raptors fans very angry.

They have obviously upgraded the back line, why are they always blown up?
No one can answer this question.

The Raptors returned home with their fifth loss of the season and a league-leading record of 47 wins and 5 losses.

The All-Star Weekend is ten days away, and before that, they have three more games to play.

They have a chance to advance to the All-Star weekend with their first 50 wins of the season.

As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things.

After returning to the home court, he only rested for one day, and suddenly there was a news that shocked Toronto.

"Raptors guard Lance Stephenson asks management for trade."

As soon as this news came out, the outside world was shocked.

Who is Stephenson?

The hell three-headed dog next to Li Xing, who can be said to be his most loyal little brother, actually asked for a deal?

"why is that?"

"Lance Stephenson's situation in the Raptors, I am puzzled by his decision, does he not like the role of the sixth man?"

"Maybe he has a higher pursuit, but it was too sudden. There are still ten days before the trade deadline, and he can talk to the management in private."

Some fans got to the point, Stephenson doesn't need to tell the public about this.

It is good for Stephenson to take the initiative to expose this matter.

He can let all the teams in the league know that he doesn't want to stay in the Raptors, and the teams interested in him will come to ask the price, and at the same time force the management to make a decision.

As far as the Raptors are concerned, this is news that is enough to shake the morale of the army.

Stephenson is not a starter, but he has a good relationship with several starters.

How would other people feel about this?
Will this news affect future preparations?
Stephenson really made up his mind?Will he still play with energy?
When Li Xing heard the news, he was not angry, not sad, and he had no idea at all.

If you have any thoughts, it's just "it's time to come".

Stephenson was close to him.

It can be said that Stephenson was brought out by him.

He knows Stephenson, knows that he is arrogant and unwilling to be a substitute.

In the Raptors, he really couldn't start, but it's different for other teams.

If you want to realize your own value, trading is the best way, and no one can blame him for this.

"Is Lance really going?"

Li Xing was eating breakfast, Pantoliano poured a glass of milk and asked curiously.

"You also know?" Li Xing said.

Pantoliano said with a smile: "This is a big event in Toronto. Although Lance is not the main force, he is very popular here."

"Yes, he's leaving."

Li Xing didn't hide anything and told the truth.

"Why? Does he have conflicts with the team?"

This sentence was asked by Dai Linsi.

Li Xing ate his breakfast, inadvertently revealing too much: "You can put it that way."

"It's unbelievable that this kind of thing can happen inside the Raptors team."

Dai Linsi has participated in many team gatherings and feels that the internal atmosphere of the Raptors is very harmonious. This kind of thing should not happen. Now it seems that she is too naive.

"There is no problem between us. Lance just wants more opportunities, but the team can't give them. This is a contradiction, not necessarily a contradiction of mutual hostility. It's just that he can't meet the needs of the other party, so he left."

Li Xing couldn't help but excuse Stephenson and the team.

"So, strength is the key to everything." Pantoliano clenched his fists.

"Yes, you are right."

Li Xing is now worried about how the management will deal with this matter.

What are they going to do with Stephenson?
Put it on the shelf for a big sale, or wait for someone to ask the price, and the highest price wins?

Li Xing didn't know how this matter would develop, but for Stephenson, from the moment he announced it to the public, everything was out of control.
