I'm king in the basket

Chapter 617 Wild Culture

72 wins and 10 losses.

The Raptors ended the regular season with a legendary record.

Even if 72/10 is no longer the NBA regular season record, this number is classic.

Before Li Xing entered the league, no one would have thought that he would be broken. Now, the Raptors have broken this record during the four consecutive championships, but after Li Xing was absent for two seasons, he played 70+ games again. For many, this is exciting.

At the same time, Li Xing also set a new personal record.

He played full time this season, averaging 22 points, 20 rebounds, 8 assists and 8 blocks per game.

Assists per game and blocks per game are all-time highs.

Li Xing broke his own record of blocks per game and stood at the top of the league with a terrifying average of 8 blocks per game.

The difference from before is that this statistic was made by him with all his efforts.

He has never pursued the limit like this season. Now, with his best form, he reached the finals with the team at the top of the league.

In the first round of the playoffs, their opponent was the Wizards from the capital.

After Li Xing crossed, the fate of many teams was affected, except for the Wizards, they were just like the previous life.

Won Wall, Bradley, Porter, then made the playoffs every year, and finally fell on the way to the finals, so that few people except the capital fans remembered what they did.

This is the impression that the Wizards gave everyone in school.

They are undoubtedly a strong team at the playoff level, but every year it is like going through the motions, reaching the semi-finals at most, and then going around and going fishing again in a blink of an eye.

Now that they meet the Raptors in the first round of the playoffs, no one believes that they can pass the risk, and some people even launched a "how many times will Lakey Lee block John Wall in this series?" Vote.

Among them, the option of averaging 4 times per game is quite popular.

Although Wall and his teammates were angry, they could only hold back their breath and wait until the game started before venting it out.

Airline Center Arena.

When Angus commented on the Wizards, he always said: "Washington is a forgotten team. Even if they disappear from the NBA, few people care, because they have few exciting stars."

Speaking of this, Wizards fans must be dissatisfied.

They have Wall and Bradley, both of whom are top guards in the league. How can it be said that there are no exciting stars?

However, compared with other popular teams, this is indeed the case.

After the game started, Li Xing made a powerful shot and passed the ball to Dragic.

Angus yelled passionately: "Lucky Lee won the jump ball as a matter of course, the battle begins!"

The Polish hammer Gortat wants to put pressure on Li Xing first. This is the strategy of the Wizards.

Li Xing will take over the Raptors' offense at the beginning. Everyone knows how they will play. The key point is how to restrain his performance.

It is definitely not possible to escape, so there is only one way.

Head-to-head, face-to-face hard anal.

This was the only way they could think of, and as they were doing this, Li Xing's reaction was like telling the wizard: You are so stupid and naive!
Gortat's speed was too slow, Li Xing threw him away with a reverse run, pointed to the sky, and the Slovenian lobbed upwards to help him take off.

Li Xing jumped up and came into the air, like a star twinkling in the sky, grabbed the ball with one hand and smashed it down.

"What is the Pole doing? Isn't he awake? You can't defend Larch like this!"

"No, it should be that Lacci's speed is too fast, he can't see, or he hasn't realized that the game has started. Well, I can't make it up anymore, the Polish defense just now is a failure!"

Angus and Stoudemire are like the two generals in the commentary booth. Embarrassing the visiting team is what they are most passionate about. There is no commentator who is less objective than them.

Just like the fans at the scene, they attack their opponents ruthlessly, wanting to scare the other party to pee their pants. Angus and Stoudemire do the same thing. They don't care what the opponent thinks, as long as they can make the fans happy, how can they be crazy? Just say it.

Wall handles the ball on the perimeter. He is pressing the time and planning the offense in his mind.

Li Xing is at the basket, and it is not advisable to storm the penalty area.

The best thing to do is use the shot to get him outside, but Gortat's shot
Dragic seemed to be able to feel the blur in his eyes, and he wanted to press forward.

It is impossible for Wall to give him this gap, dribble back and forth continuously, firmly control the ball in his hand, and shake his head gently at him by the way, he is mocking.

What Dragic has seen the most over the years is ridicule.

White point guards can't survive -- he's tired of hearing so much of it, and he's proven he's a top-notch guard in the NBA.

Wall isn't going to challenge him on the perimeter.

What was his selling point in the draft?Nash with the best physical fitness, or Nash who can dunk with windmills in fast break counterattacks.

In the past few years, his passing is not as coquettish as Nash, and his shooting has no relationship with Nash at all.

People who advocate this kind of argument gradually shut up.

Wall did not realize his talent as people thought and became an MVP-level player like Nash.

At this point, he encountered a predicament, stuck at a certain threshold, and it was difficult to continue to improve.

Dragic's defense is like a display in his eyes. He took a violent step and passed the Slovenian. Behind him, he stopped and jumped up and scored.

In this era where space is paramount, even Li Xing would give him a big thumbs up for daring to attack in this way.

This style of play will lead to low efficiency, but the middle distance will never be abandoned, because at the critical moment, the most killing method is still the inefficient middle distance.

"Golan, can you guard against it?"

Li Xing's question made Dragic feel a little sad, isn't it just that he was thrown a goal?Why not look again?

"Believe me!"

Dragic said.

"I believe you."

Saying this on the lips, in fact, I was already thinking about how to help Dragic get Wall.

"Come on, don't you want to call back?"

Wall provokes Dragic.

The Slovenian is used to blocking these provocative voices, and he knows what he should do.

Li Xing's shooting skills annoyed Gortat. He wanted to find a confrontation, but the opponent stubbornly wandered outside.

Suddenly, Li Xing helped DeRozan block a bit, helped him create an inside cut opportunity, and at the same time got a three-pointer for himself.

DeRozan who passes inside, or Li Xing who passes outside?
It stands to reason that the closer to the basket, the higher the success rate. Out of trust in Li Xing, Dragic passed the ball to Li Xing.

On the three-point line, Li Xing glanced at Gortat not far away.

He saw the helplessness in the opponent's eyes, and he couldn't guard against it.

"Shh!"

"If Washington had anything to think about this game, they should have taken the Pole off."

"If the Poles took 1000 million a year from Washington just to do eye defense on the court, they should ask me to go. I promise to do better than the Poles. I definitely have the most murderous eyes in history."

If Angus's words are just rude, Stoudemire's banter is unprofessional joke.

People in Washington are angry, but this is Toronto.

None of the players, spectators, and commentators here are civilized and polite.

Li Xing more or less contributed to the formation of this culture, they don't respect anyone.

The curses of the fans, the commentator's unobjective way of explaining, and the remarks of the Raptors players in interviews outside the court all show what kind of ghost place this is.

The most painful thing is that such a team has become the face of the NBA.

The commentator's words forced Gortat to ask for the ball and attack Li Xing's defense. This kind of offensive method is not his specialty, and it is reasonable to be blocked by Li Xing.

However, after he blocked the shot, the Wizards' second-in-command stood up.

He expressed it with practical actions: "I am very dissatisfied with your fucking home court!"

He picked up the offensive rebound on the perimeter, then hit a [-]-pointer that didn't make sense over DeRozan's head.

After the ball was scored, he opened his hands and shook them in a clearly defiant gesture.

The fans took the lead in counterattacking.

"Go home and shake it, dead monkey!"

"Do you fucking think this is Washington? Even if Washington comes back from the dead, you have to kneel and watch the game here!"

"Lucky Lee will beat you till the shit comes out!"
