I'm king in the basket

Chapter 511 Get the hell out of here!

Josh Smith, with a height of 2.06 meters and a weight of 105 kilograms, has a standard swing forward figure. In addition, this little brother is extremely athletic. He can jump from Damascus to Addis Ababa with a light jump. The time in the air is about equal to the effort of two sticks of incense, and the style of play is simple and comprehensive.

Anti-reverse steals, pick-and-rolls to attack the basket, chaotic battles to grab points, and messing around, it seems that there are thousands of hands and feet, everywhere.

The current Smith is not the famous shooter of the Second Academy later.

After being bullied by Bargnani, he wanted to fight back.

If someone shoots a three-pointer, he also wants to shoot.

However, the cancerous soul in his body has not yet been activated. Every time he takes a shot outside the three-point line, he has to take care of his teammates' mood, lest they get angry.

Bargnani's defense is terrible, whether he can make it or not depends on whether his touch can support it.

Smith tried a three-pointer.

Everyone looked up, only Li Xing judged that the goal would not be scored, predicted in advance, locked the position, and then jumped up violently at the moment the ball fell, and grabbed the rebound powerfully.

The reaction of the crowd was not enough, and DeRozan took the lead in launching a counterattack.

Li Xing scored a defensive rebound and made a long pass. DeRozan is already a standard counterattack tactic in the Raptors.

The core lies in the tacit understanding between the two. When the opponent misses a shot, can DeRozan be sure that Li Xing will catch the rebound.

Only with 100% confidence in Li Xing's rebounding ability can he counterattack the fast break without hesitation.

The Raptors are the best team in the league in terms of defensive rebound protection. DeRozan and Li Xing have partnered for four years and know each other's abilities well.

He believes that as long as Li Xing is under the basket, there is no possibility of defensive rebounds falling into the hands of others.

So every time he ran a counterattack fast break, he ran with all his strength regardless of the consequences, just like a track and field athlete entering the final sprint stage.

Once again, their tacit understanding successfully transformed into a beautiful counter-fast break.

Li Xing's long pass was in place, DeRozan grabbed the ball and directly hit a rotation dunk.

"Look at this ball, the cooperation between Dante and Pterosaur is perfect, they are full of tacit understanding like twins!"

DeRozan's counterattack can be regarded as a sigh of relief for himself. He stared at Korver coldly, as if he was going to sing "Nunchaku" at him.

In this regard, Korver can do nothing, his speed is far inferior to DeRozan, if the opponent starts first, he will not be able to catch up anyway.

Smith is not only superb in physical fitness, but also has comprehensive skills. He can defend and attack, and can support his teammates and dribble across the half.

This round, Teague had nothing to do because Smith took over his work.

Everyone thought that this guy was up again and wanted to solve the problem by themselves, so they all stood still.

They all misunderstood, Smith is not the undercover superstar who activated the soul of the cancer, and now he is still a good player for the team.

The person who knows him best is Korver. The two of them met each other's eyes and knew each other's thoughts.

Smith made a one-handed cross across half the field to Korver in the corner.

That position was empty, and Li Xing rushed out.

Korver's body jumped up straight, and he shot quickly, but was interfered by Li Xing.

Li Xing was only one step away from blocking his ball, and Korver's hand trembled at the overwhelming sense of pressure.

"rebound!"

Li Xing was not under the basket, and Horford and Smith rushed together.

Naturally, Bargnani alone can't grab these two. His rebounding ability is inherently lacking, and he hasn't had a double-double season in his career so far.

Smith grabbed the rebound, slammed foul words, and scored a dunk against the Italian's soft defense.

"This fucking is me!"

Smith yelled.

Li Xing walked back, and Bargnani was ready to be ridiculed, but no one mocked him, as if it was a matter of course to be scored like this.

Strong Italians do not want to accept this fact.

"Why don't you accuse me?" Bargnani asked.

"Accuse you?"

Li Xing was puzzled: "Why?" "Why? I was hacked, shouldn't you blame me?" Bargnani asked back.

"By your standards, you just did pretty well."

Li Xing's statement made the Italians even more sad.

"How can you say that?" Italy exploded with anger.

Since his self-esteem is so strong, let's say a few words less in the future.

Li Xing shut his mouth and served Dragic the ball.

Dragic glanced at Bargnani. He wanted to show that he understood the Italians, but the other party thought it was a look of contempt.

"Golan, I will never talk to you again, you are actually working with Larch."

After all, Bargnani ran helplessly up the field and stood still in his favorite position.

"What is that guy doing?"

Snyder asked the people around him.

No one answered him, and Bargnani was an enigma.

Even if he was misunderstood by Bargnani, Dragic did not give up on him. His breakthrough tore Teague's defense line. According to his plan, Smith will give up the Italian who has lost his nostalgia for the world because of his arrival. Defend.

Dragic's plan worked.

Smith dropped Bargnani and rushed to him.

The energy maniac, not at all worried about being called, made a savage confrontation and made a lot of interference before Dragic passed the ball.

Dragic's plan worked, but it wasn't Bargnani who got the ball, it was Jeff Teague.

Smith's confrontation disrupted his rhythm and drained his power from the pass.

Soft passing is the result of being intercepted in the high-intensity playoffs. Teague steals the ball and launches a counterattack.

This is Smith's showtime moment, and he's the type of guy who likes to end offenses at those moments.

Smith strode frantically into his favored position, caught the ball, and leaped as if to fly to the sky, his leaps believable that humans would one day grow wings and fly off the ground.

"boom!"

Smith hit back with a dunk.

Dragic paid the price for this mistake. It was a temporary decision to help Bargnani with the ball, and every point guard has such a right.

If you succeed, you will be cheered, and if you fail, you will be questioned by the head coach.

"Golan, what was that just now?" Snyder asked.

"Sorry, my fault." Dragic kept admitting his mistake.

If Snyder wanted to blame him, he had to wait until the timeout.

Bargnani was not in high spirits, even if Dragic made a mistake for him, he still looked like a fool.

"Nani, if you continue to behave like this, the coach will soon replace you." Li Xing said.

Bargnani asked; "What if I'm right?"

"You think you can throw the ball in like this? Don't be kidding."

Li Xing said indifferently, almost suppressing Horford's focus.

Horford didn't expect that Li Xing would suddenly ask for the ball, and he was immediately robbed of his position.

However, Horford is called Eastern Duncan after all. He and Duncan have many similarities. For example, they are both good boys and have no tattoos. Although Duncan has tattoos on his chest and back, they are relatively hidden.

Horford adjusted immediately.

But it's useless, the talent is too bad, and Li Xing's position is fatal.

In this position, whenever Dragic gets the ball in, he can initiate the offense.

Horford had nothing to do. Li Xing took the ball, and O'Neill sat him away, and then, like a bolt from the blue, he pulled out a one-handed dunk and shattered Duncan's defense in the east.

In the face of such power, any defense pales.

The gap between Horford and Li Xing is not only in talent, but also in confrontation and strength.

"You can't guard me."

Li Xing left a cold word in his ear, trying to disturb his mood.

Horford was not fooled, he was still as calm as water, and he was not provoked by his opponents.

Li Xing has been trying to stir up his emotions and make him lose his mind, but he has not succeeded. This is a person without temper.

This kind of opponent is the most difficult to deal with. Although Li Xing can easily blow him up, he will not collapse. His tenacity remains the same as before.

Facing such an opponent, Li Xing had no choice but to constantly put pressure on the offensive end, so that he had no energy to help others.

It's not that Horford doesn't want to fight back, he just can't.

Like Duncan, he has good post-up singles and excellent high mid-range shots, but Li Xing, like Deathwing brought the end of the world, froze all his scoring skills from the beginning.

In post-up singles, he has no chance at all.

For high mid-range shots, Li Xing would rather give up the basket than give space.

His only score now is the one he grabbed the offensive rebound to complete the second attack. It was also very dangerous and was almost blocked by Li Xing.

However, the Hawks are not a team that relies on star players to attack.

Horford's inability to score offensively has little impact on them.

Horford doesn't score, other people will score, play and cooperate, run tactics, opportunities will always come.

This is the advantage of the Eagles. The team's big man Horford is willing to take on the most ordinary work at any moment, willing to grab rebounds again and again, and even willing to do it all the time.

The sky paid off, and the Eagles made a 20-second tactical run, which finally helped Teague create a shooting opportunity.

Dragic's block was a beat slower, and Teague hit a three-pointer.

It is these academic-like team play styles that allow the Eagles to live in a corner in the East. Although they are only ranked eighth in the East, they are not easy to deal with.

In the regular season, they used this style of play to make the Raptors lose a game.

For a team that lost just eight games in the regular season, losing one is already headline news.

"The Raptors requested a timeout!"

This timeout was called inexplicably, so the Raptors did not make a lot of turnovers or attack the iron, or the defense was not good.

Snyder called the players to his side: "I know you can win this game, but we have to win the championship!"

"Cut off their connection, give them a stronger confrontation, and, Andrea, get out of here!"

"what?"

Bargnani looked shocked.
