I'm king in the basket

Chapter 625 Experiments
The Raptors swept the Celtics and sealed the series.

They advanced to the conference finals with four wins.

The reporters in Boston looked at Li Xing tremblingly, and asked, "Larch, two consecutive rounds of playoffs have been swept and advanced, will this make you careless?"

"will not."

The reporters in Boston were ready to be ridiculed by Li Xing, this is his style.

Unexpectedly, he was very "abnormal" today.

He didn't complain that the Celtics are too weak, and he didn't open his mouth to criticize other celebrities like before, but he said something meaningful.

"Don't ask me how it feels to sweep, I don't feel it."

"Because there's another team in the East doing the same thing."

Having said that, everyone understands.

Li Xing's subtext is simple and familiar to everyone: "I'm already thinking about the next round."

The Cavaliers' game was very simple. They first beat the Pacers back to Indiana in four games in the first round, and then faced the Raptors in the semifinals.

Like the Raptors, they did not engage in any entanglement with their opponents, and swept out directly.

East and West, the battle map for the division finals is here.

Raptors vs Cavaliers, Thunder vs Warriors.

Such a confrontation is not surprising at all. As early as the beginning of the season, some people thought that the final four teams would be these four teams. The results also proved that the prediction was correct, and these four teams were indeed one level higher.

Except for the Warriors, these four teams all used two rounds of sweeps to end the game.

The Warriors did not sweep, not because they were weak, but because they met the Spurs at the same level. They fought six games and won in the end.

The game between the Warriors and the Thunder started first.

Curry scored ten three-pointers like a magic soldier, and the Thunder won by 3 points.

For no other reason, the Thunder's three young men worked together, their absolute talent overwhelmed the Warriors, and they won directly.

Durant scored 30 points, Harden scored 24+5+5, and Westbrook scored a triple-double.

For the Warriors, although Curry scored 47+10, he lost the game and his data became meaningless.

then,

Airline Center Arena
The guests have already arrived to warm up, and some diehard fans came to the scene two hours in advance. Here, they can see how NBA players do pre-match exercises.

Some people will do some rigid shots and layups, and some people will take the opportunity to have an intra-team dunk contest.

Embiid and James came to a heads-up game.

In the end, Embiid defeated James, who was unwilling to fight.

Their pre-game preparation content is much richer than that of the Raptors.

On the Raptors side, under Snyder's strict control, few people dared to make trouble, and everyone was honestly doing warm-up exercises.

When Embiid and James started a heads-up, Bargnani also proposed a heads-up, but Snyder threw a word at him.

"Have you finished shooting two hundred three-pointers?"

"It's still fifty."

"Continue to vote!"

No way, that's how power reigns.

No matter how unwilling Bargnani is, he can only be obedient at the moment.

The commentary booth tonight is quite crowded.

Angus, Barkley, Smith, and Stoudemire can all make a whole mahjong.

"Tonight's game, the Raptors have a great chance of winning."

As soon as Angus spoke, Smith sprayed.

It is said that the Raptors have a lot of freaks at home, and today is considered a lesson.

Should it be so obvious?

It's not like I didn't come here to explain before. At that time, Angus was not so exaggerated. How come now?
Stoudemire is undoubtedly on the side of Angus.

In order to balance, Smith can only choose to stand on the side of the Cavaliers. At the same time, he wants to pull Barkley into his camp.

"Chuck, are we together?" Smith played the old friend card.

Barkley is very rational. He will not stand against Li Xing, nor does he want to bully others. His choice is: "I am on the side of the strong. Whoever plays well and whose performance is more in line with my wishes, whoever If I want to win more, I will support whoever!"

This is a typical fence-sitting speech, and Smith despises him deeply.

This kind of double-faced is the most annoying.

Then, the two sides prepare to jump the ball.

"Tonight, the Raptors started differently than in the past."

"JO Cheese from China has entered the starting list. You know, this is his first start in the playoffs!"

Zou Qi is in charge of jumping the ball with Embiid.

Embiid was teammates with Zou Qi in the Rookie Challenge.

To be honest, Zou Qi didn't give him a very good impression, because Li Xing gave people a bad impression at the time, and he acted as if Zou Qi was related to him.

Zou Qi gave the ball to Dragic as the referee threw the ball into the air.

"Game start!"

Irving is not known for his defense, and his defense against Dragic is relatively casual.

With Embiid behind him, Irving can safely put his opponent in.Seeing that his defense was so polite, Dragic had no chance of letting it go. He ignored Li Xing who raised his hand to ask for the ball, rushed past Irving, and was about to attack the basket.

Embiid's supplementary defense made his layup deviate from the established track.

It's something every defender does, and Embiid clearly does it better.

He has a natural nose and a good sense of position on the defensive end, two gifts that help him make all kinds of smart plays on the defensive end.

This is not over yet.

Dragic missed a layup, James behind Embiid scored a rebound, and then crushed the border like a tank.

Middleton wanted to defend a little bit, but his defense on the face of the little emperor is like a zebra trying to stop an elephant. A flick of his long nose can knock you into the air.

The visual effect is similar, James' shoulders are low, and Middleton is knocked away with a bump.

James' counterattack is not just for the end, his vision is very broad, even if the Raptors retreat in time, it will not affect him.

His counterattack was blocked by his opponent, and this change did not affect him at all, and at this moment, his ball was thrown back.

Irving, who followed, caught the ball outside the three-point line, was open, and jumped up to shoot.

Irving has a stable shot, and with such a wide open at the moment, missing a shot is simply a blasphemy of a great opportunity.

He hit the three.

Dragic continued to break through. It's not that he didn't know that Li Xing was going to attack at the beginning, but Irving's defense was too bad.

This kind of poor defense makes people want to break through when they see it.

However, the Cavaliers' restrictions on breakthrough players are one of the best in the league. They have basket protection under the basket, and they can double-team partially.

Once again, Dragic's breakthrough was blocked, and he wanted to try another throw.

The previous failures reminded him.

He changed his mind midway and passed the ball outside.As soon as he took the ball out of his hand, his heart twitched.

Oops!

James has already ambushed in his passing lane, waiting for him to pass.

"Golan made a mistake!"

"LeBron steals and counters!"

"Dunk!"

"It started 5 to 0! Cleveland told Toronto with a strong start that they are not here to play, and the horn of the battle has sounded!"

Snyder yelled from the sidelines: "Golan, stop making senseless offenses!"

Even a fool can see that Owen's defense is not that bad, the so-called bad is all pretending.

Dragic saw that his defense was full of loopholes, but Embiid's position was extremely sensitive, and he could almost predict what would happen after the breakthrough.

go to hell!
Dragic endured his anger and passed the ball to Li Xing.

The person facing Embiid is Li Xing, and Dragic hopes that the latter can give the former some color.

"I have to tell you, I will completely extinguish your offensive fire, if you don't believe it, just wait and see!"

Embiid kept spouting trash talk behind Li Xing.

The two teams had played against each other several times in the regular season, and Li Xing was familiar with his style, so he didn't respond to his trash talk at this time.

"On the battlefield, those who don't speak are usually deserters with their tongues cut off!"

"Shh!"

Li Xing blew on Embiid's face who didn't know what happened, and said sarcastically: "The deserter shot a ball in the head before running away, but unfortunately you didn't respond."

"The game has become normal."

"If Golan can calm down and sort out the offense in those two rounds, the Cavaliers will not be able to establish an advantage so quickly."

Angus and Stoudemire spoke to each other one by one.

Smith must play CALL for the Cavaliers: "This is the game, and the game changes rapidly."

"You are all right!" Barkley, who was blown by the wind, had no position to speak of.

With Zou Qi present, Li Xing can safely follow Embiid to a high position.

The Raptors must make full use of Zou Qi's defensive ability, but there is still one thing to be verified.

Li Xing left the basket, and the Cavaliers' arrow pointed directly at the penalty area. James was in the most convenient position. He stretched out his hand to the person next to him, and the ball came over.

"Do you think you can guard me?"

The King of Akron spouted some trash talk, and then James changed direction in front of him, and it seemed to Middleton that a bolt of lightning had struck in front of his eyes.

He lost James in an instant.

Zou Qi swallowed his saliva, seeing James rushing over with the dribble, he was not sure at all.

And that's exactly what the team wants to verify.

If the opponent is a player of James' level, can he effectively limit the opponent's breakthrough?
An answer that doesn't require much thought: If Zou Qi can restrain James, he can restrain anyone.

Because James is the player with the most breakthrough attack power and lethality in the league.

The result is no, no matter how talented Zou Qi is, he is too thin now, and James hitting him is like a drill bit hitting a piece of tofu.

Zou Qi was shocked away.

James swallowed the strength from him and scored the goal fiercely, making everyone on the scene see Zou Qi's embarrassment.

"I suggest you eat a few cows before you play."

James left an embarrassing trash talk and retreated with a 5-point advantage.
