I'm king in the basket

Chapter 630

Embiid's physical exhaustion is a microcosm of this game.

When he couldn't fight Li Xing inside, the Cavaliers' system collapsed.

It is said that James has his own system. In fact, when Embiid joined the Cavaliers, this is no longer a pure "James system".

The James system needs a shooter, a space-based inside line, a weak-side scorer, and a group of veterans with proper turnover.

In his system, the inside will not be the protagonist, can pass the ball, can protect the rebound, can open up the space, can defend, as long as it has two characteristics, it can be matched with James.

Embiid is versatile.

There are pros and cons to being an all-around player.

An excellent all-around player can serve as the core of the team, and players who are too all-round can also cause troubles for the team.

Because of your versatility, teams don't know where to put you or how to maximize your versatility.

It's like someone said that James can't move without the ball.

You ask yourself in another direction: If you are the head coach and James is playing under you, what kind of brain circuit has appeared in you to let James run without the ball?

This level of waste will be damned, you know?

Having said that, because this is not a pure James system, when Embiid, one of the cornerstones of the system, collapsed, the game collapsed.

At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers trailed by 24 points.

This season, the Raptors have been tied by more than 15 points only once, but they won the game in the end.

In other words, the Cavaliers have already crossed the line of life and death.

They are 25 points behind, 10 points more than the life and death line.

No one is optimistic about them, no one will go against the law.

Therefore, the final result is a matter of course.

In the end, the Raptors won Game 26 of the conference finals by [-] points, igniting the Cavaliers' long-standing preparations.

Next, the question that the Cavaliers need to consider is how they can defeat the Raptors, or in other words, what else do they need to defeat Li Xing.

James once lost to Li Xing for four consecutive years, which was his peak period. Now, both of them are no longer at their peak, but Li Xing obviously has a greater influence on the game.

The offensive and defensive dominance throughout the second quarter reminded everyone of Dante who crushed the entire league at his peak.

"You guys almost exhausted Joel Embiid in the first half, how did you do that?"

A reporter asked.

"That's a good question."

Li Xing smiled: "Because my physical fitness is better than Joel Embiid, this is the answer to the question."

"LeBron said they made a few mistakes tonight, what do you think?"

Li Xing still said mercilessly: "I have a high self-esteem, my goals are too ambitious, and I don't know how to be satisfied. This is the mistake they made, and they have been making such mistakes."

"In how many games do you think the series will end?"

This is a classic question, every reporter will ask this question, because Li Xing will always give them the answer.

What's interesting is that the answer given by Li Xing will only exceed the limit, and will not break his promise.

"Out of trust in LeBron and out of respect for Cleveland, I think we're going to end this series in six games."

Li Xing was not being polite, their opponents would not stand there and be knocked down by them.

The reason why tonight went so smoothly is because their trusted Embiid was completely blown away, and James and Irving had little chance to play.

If they break out together, Li Xing believes that there will be one or two games where he and his teammates will be unable to parry because the opponent's offensive firepower is too fierce.

This is predictable and predictable, and now he no longer has the overwhelming strength of the past.

"Six games?"

The reporter repeated it.

Li Xing nodded and said, "Yes, six games."

After the press conference, Li Xing walked into the locker room, and the group was discussing Li Xing's leap over Irving's slam dunk.

"Larch, how on earth did you do it?" Bargnani leaned forward like a pug. "I really didn't know you could jump that high."

"There are so many things you don't know, Nani."

Li Xing felt that he was so rare and strange, what is this?
"But, your vertical jump is only 80 centimeters, why can you leap at least 190 centimeters of Kyrie Irving?"

asked Brogdon.

Li Xingdao: "Those famous street dunkers only have a vertical jump of a little over one meter, but they can always jump 210 centimeters in competition. Why do you think this is?"

"Because of borrowing power."

Nobody in this room has more say than DeRozan.

"But you didn't take advantage of it."

DeRozan added.

"Okay, I didn't take advantage of it, but do you really think Kyrie is a warrior?"

Li Xing asked: "Assuming it was you, seeing me rushing towards you at full speed, wouldn't you make a subconscious dodge?"

"You mean?"

"That's right, he was scared. When I jumped up, he shrank subconsciously. I didn't think of jumping him at the beginning. It was his own change. I just pushed the boat along the way and completed the ball. "

After listening to the narration of the person involved, Middleton said; "It was really unexpected."

"There are many unexpected things, guys." Li Xing said.

"for example?"

"For example, I want to get rid of you idlers now, and I want to take a bath!"

In order to accept the interview just now, Li Xing just waited until the sweat on his body was dry before changing clothes and going out.

"This guy really likes to take a bath. I heard that he needs to take a bath at least three times a day." Bargnani said with disgust.

Li Xing had a towel hanging on his body: "Guys, if you have more than a dozen women in your family, believe me, you will fall in love with the sport of bathing."

"Bathing is exercise?"

Everyone was startled.

Only Calderon reacted: "There is a big story in it!"

Evans yelled, "What bath? Come out and tell a story!"

"No time!"

"Are you itching again, do you want me to help you?"

Li Xing relied on a door to avoid threats from Evans: "Reggie, I need to take a shower now. After I finish washing, I will say whatever you want to hear."

"This guy can really drag." Evans said.

At this time, Snyder came in.

Tonight's game, he has nothing to say.

From the first second of the game, the Cavaliers fell into his trap.

Before the start of the series, Snyder did a detailed study on them, and the research showed that Coach Lu would let Embiid fight Li Xing.

Embiid played the performance of the second center this season. Although Li Xing is the undisputed number one center, Embiid is younger.

He should have a chance to attack Li Xing.

This is what they thought, so after the opening, Li Xing followed his instructions and engaged in a lot of physical confrontation with Embiid, exhausting his vital strength.

As a result, Embiid himself was exhausted, but Li Xing was relaxed.

So a story we all know happened in the second quarter. This is not a coincidence, nor is it Li Xing's clever calculation. This is Snyder's preparation and arrangement in advance. Contest.

"Guys, you guys had a great game tonight."

"I'm so proud of you."

"But it's a long war, and we can't let up until Cleveland goes down," Snyder said.

"Yes!"

"Go back and have a good rest."

Snyder left.

Just at this time, Li Xing came out wrapped in a towel: "It seems that I missed the coach's lecture."

"Isn't that great?" Evans asked. "Can you now tell us why bathing is a sport?"

Li Xing really didn't know what to say to this group of people who had no interest.

"Haven't you and your wife, on a sunny morning, stripped naked, came into the bathroom, turned on the rain, let the hot water hit you, and then..."

Li Xing's expression was very content.

Hearing what he said, Evans suddenly had a strange thought: "Hearing what you said, I feel that I have spent all these years in vain."

"Larch, you're too slutty." Bargnani seemed like a stubborn old-fashioned person who didn't like this romantic way of flirting. He just got up and asked suddenly; "Then what brand of shower gel do you use? "

"roll!"

After that, Li Xing got dressed and left the locker room with DeRozan.

As for the others, they still have activities in the evening.

In order to celebrate the victory in the conference finals, they will fight until dawn at Santa Maria.

It is said that Evans was playing with his left and right arms that night, when his wife suddenly rushed to the battlefield, grabbed Evans by the ear and carried him home to torture him.

Li Xing wanted to know more about it, but Evans refused to disclose the matter in the name of not being able to publicize his family ugliness.

"Why so early today?" Xu Ke asked.

Li Xingdao: "If you want to talk about why, this question is a good question. I don't know. It may be that today's press conference ended relatively quickly, or that those guys talked less nonsense, or it may be that today's game ended quickly. Faster than usual."

Ryan sent Li Xing to Lincoln's apartment.

Li Xing and Xu Ke went upstairs at the same time.

"Larch, do you want supper later?" Xu Ke asked.

"Eat, do you want to eat?"

Li Xing didn't understand why she asked this, because he ate supper every day, not only because of his greed, but also to make up for the energy consumed by the game.

Usually when women ask such unnecessary questions, they are paving the way for something.

Based on Li Xing's experience, he felt that Xu Ke wanted to say something to him.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Li Xing asked.

"It's not me, it's us." Xu Ke said.

"you?"

In the middle of the night, these words sound strange.

sixth floor
Li Xing opened the door, just in time to see Yiya jumping on the sofa, nibbling on a jersey with relish.

Today is a fine day for killing dogs.
