I'm king in the basket

Chapter 70 Dissatisfied
Only two big men over 220 centimeters can cover O'Neal in this way.

One is Yao Ming and the other is Li Xing.

Li Xing's cover reminded O'Neill of the first time he played against Yao Ming. At that time, he was fearless and thought he could easily destroy the opponent.

Now he has no ability to destroy everything and knows how to restrain himself, but he is still not enough in front of Li Xing.

He also knows that Li Xing averages 7 blocks per game, and his ability to block shots in a single round is unmatched by anyone in history, so he always looks for a confrontation before making a shot.

O'Neill was sure that he had knocked Li Xing away just now, but he reacted and blocked it at this moment, which was completely beyond his expectation.

So tall, so fast, so physically fit, and so delicate in technique, damn, is this a monster?
Is it because God sees that I am too invincible to deliberately create such a monster?O'Neill thought Li Xing was a tall version of Howard before, and later thought it was a high version of Weber - but Weber is not as good as him in defense! ——After much deliberation, he couldn't think of a template that suited him.

"You are really special."

O'Neal racked his brains, but he couldn't think of any player in history with Li Xing's physical conditions, as well as an insider with speed, strength, athletic ability, and skill.

He is unique.

It's not easy to get O'Neill's praise. Li Xing has no idea how precious it is, and doesn't mean to appreciate it at all.

Li Xing blocked O'Neal, and Bosh picked up the rebound, allowing others to push back.

This is already the signature routine of the Raptors. Li Xing blocks the block, others receive the rebound, and the forward and two guards are ready to counterattack at any time.

DeRozan likes to run and counterattack the most, which can greatly develop his athletic ability.

If the Raptors can introduce a forward with explosive athletic ability, the power of counterattack will be even more terrifying.

This round, James' defense was like a god, and his running speed was like lightning wandering on the ground, fast and fierce.

Calderon dismissed the idea of ​​shooting himself, led James to himself, and then passed the ball to DeRozan, letting him do the final finish.

Seeing DeRozan take off, James could only stand still and watch.

In addition to him, the Cavaliers have no second person to retreat.

James stood alone under the basket and heaved a long sigh.

"Chris, your rookie is more powerful than I thought." James said to Bosh.

Bosh smiled: "Of course, this guy is really good, he is about to surpass me."

James rolled his eyes upward at this self-aware boast.

"A fist loose is five fingers, and together they can break everything, Chris, you know that?" James said.

"That thing, I will consider." Bosh said.

Every time he saw Bosh and James whispering, Li Xing was very upset.

Even if the Raptors make a counterattack, the Cavaliers still have a 16-point lead, and they can take their time.

Maurice Williams rushed to the basket willfully, saying that the Raptors' penalty area is the toughest fortress in the league, but he doesn't believe this evil.

Li Xing took off, shot off his layup, and defended the basket.

O'Neal picked up the rebound and dunked.

"You are very strong, but you alone cannot rewrite the score." O'Neill put down these words and retreated with the large team.

"is it?"

Yeah?O'Neill snorted: "Of course, even if you pretend to be so cool, I have to say that, you alone can't change the game!"

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what O'Neill said. If Li Xing's defense is 100, then his current offense is less than 70, and he cannot influence the situation of the game.

In order to recover from such a big point difference, in addition to his defense, the offense of others must also keep up, and the Raptors seem to have no rebound at all.

Li Xing took the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side, beat O'Neal with his footsteps, and rushed to the basket to pick the basket and score.

"As the game progressed, Shaq's physical fitness gradually became problematic, and he couldn't even defend the ball." Barkley said in surprise.

Smith said: "Lacci is not Italian. He will not let Shaq do whatever he wants. They have been fighting since the beginning of the second half. Up until now, Shaq's physical fitness has reached its limit."

Aware of this, in addition to the commentator, as well as Cavaliers coach Mike Brown.

Brown said a few words in Big Z's ear, and asked him to wait on the sidelines, and when the ball died on the court, he went up to replace O'Neal.

James once again showed off his operation, trying to score from Wilms' head, but the latter didn't give him room to shoot comfortably, and he had to entangle himself even if he fouled.

This is the most incomprehensible part of the referee. If it was the beginning of the game, Wilms' defense in this round was enough to call five fouls, but now he is silent.

Suddenly there was no whistle to protect the body, and James was not used to it. He shot with difficulty and hit the front of the basket and popped out.

Li Xing was in a good position. He wanted to jump up to grab a rebound, but O'Neal behind him made him unable to jump up.

This unrivaled beast that once swept the world with invincible opponents is now old, but its abilities still remind people of the shark that devoured everything back then.

O'Neal grabbed an offensive rebound from Li Xing's head again, feinted a shot, tapped Li Xing, and was about to dunk.

Before that, experience triumphs.

After that, the one with better physical fitness will be the winner.

Li Xing was right behind O'Neill, saw him lift the ball and wanted to slam dunk, he also jumped up, swung his arm like a gibbon, and dropped the basketball from behind the shark.

For those old fans who are used to two or three dunks on O'Neal, this scene will make people feel uncomfortable.

Would O'Neill be blocked under such circumstances?

Li Xing just did it. He blocked O'Neal again, grabbed the defensive rebound, passed from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the pass was in place.

Calderon was surprised by Li Xing's pass, stabilized the ball, counterattacked and made a layup.

The point difference continued to narrow, and Brown only requested a timeout.

"If I were a few years younger, you would never be able to cover me!" O'Neill said bitterly.

"I wish you were a few years younger."

This is Li Xing's sincere words, and it is also the first time he has responded to O'Neill tonight.

The old shark looked back at this talented young man, and said with a smile: "I believe this is your truth!"

Li Xing walked off the field and caught the towel thrown by Olina.

"We did a good job, keep up the good work, keep it up!" Triano muttered loudly.

"Lucky, good job!" Evans patted Li Xing.

Li Xing took a sip of his drink and said nothing.

After the timeout, Bosh got a chance through several tactics and hit consecutive shots, which completely opened up the touch, and the Raptors started a frenzy of chasing points.

This is what Li Xing has been working hard to do, to influence his teammates through defense, let them score with all their strength, and let them know that there is me in defense.

Bosh led, the others gradually opened.

James also realized that he no longer persistently attacked the basket. As long as he wanted to break through, the Raptors couldn't stop him.

As a result, he kept breaking through and breaking points, and the rest of the Cavaliers just needed to invest in the passed opportunities.

However, the lack of offense at the basket is a great test for shooting.

In the fourth quarter, the Raptors caught up, and since then, the game has become a superstar showdown.

After resting for half a quarter, O'Neal played again, played for 3 minutes, scored 6 points and left again.

Li Xing attacked with the basket, relying on his speed to overwhelm the big Z several times, so that the opponent had to let Jamison, who was a lot shorter, come to defend.

The opponent was replaced by Jamieson, Li Xing didn't rush, and directly relied on his height and arm length to attack.

Suddenly, Li Xing, who seemed to be the least of the attention, suppressed the Cavaliers with offense.

"He is constantly growing. The Dante at the beginning of the season and the Dante now are two completely different players!"

"Yeah, Dante was a defensive monster at the beginning of the season, and now he is a monster who can scare opponents on both ends of the offense and defense."

The Cavaliers finally chose to double-team, which Li Xing had been waiting for for a long time.

As soon as they double-teamed, Li Xing passed the ball immediately.

DeRozan, who got an open space, dribbled the ball to the basket and dunked successfully. This ball helped the Raptors overtake.

Unwilling to fail, James unleashed all his strength and even had the home court advantage. He rushed to the basket for two consecutive rounds to find Li Xing to confront him physically before making a move.

The strong strength allowed James to score consecutively, and the home court advantage made him even more powerful, causing Li Xing to foul twice.

Li Xing, who was carrying five offenders, had to restrain his defensive actions, and the two teams fought until the last second.

In the last 30 seconds, James rushed to the basket again and knocked Li Xing away for a layup.

He rolls over everyone like a tank, throwing his hands up and showing off his muscles.

The ball gave the Cavaliers a 4-point lead.

Calderon missed a three-pointer and the Raptors lost hope of overtaking, and the game ended.

The Cavaliers at home defeated the Raptors by 4 points. James scored 38 points, 12 points and 13 rebounds.

Li Xing was in an extremely bad mood. If the referee hadn't called two out-of-the-box fouls, James would have been unable to score the most critical layup on him.

When the time returned to zero, his face was already dark.

"Accepted." James smiled and held out his hand to Li Xing.

Promise your sister!
Li Xing held his hand reluctantly, squeezed it hard, didn't bother to say a word, and went straight to the sidelines.

"Don't be so stingy, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs." James shouted.

Li Xing raised his left hand and gestured his middle finger impolitely. He probably didn't know how many players had been beaten on the court because of this gesture.

Fortunately, James is a modest gentleman and has no tendency to violence. He chose to forgive Li Xing's unqualified provocative gesture.

"Chris, next time we meet, I will win." James said to Bosh.

Bosh snorted, "If you brought the three referees to Toronto tonight, you'd definitely win."

"It's boring to talk about referees, Chris." James laughed.

Bosh was still unconvinced, and held James' hand as hard as Li Xing, and then stepped aside.
