The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 14 The backbone of the field
"Lee, be careful with that Rose tonight."

"His foul-making ability is very strong. I don't want to see you leave the field with six fouls before halftime."

Before his debut, Iverson also specifically reminded Li Xun.

Rose's style of play now is very similar to that of Iverson back then, even stronger than Iverson.

The speed may be slightly worse, but the starting speed of the first step is not inferior to Iverson at all.

In addition, the height and strength must be stronger, especially the pull-up bar with one hand, which is very lethal.

The Pistons have lost two games in a row, and Iverson does not want to see Li Xun leave the game too early.

Once Li Xun is gone, the Pistons have little chance of winning.

Li Xun nodded solemnly, "Allen, I will pay attention."

"You can shoot with confidence tonight, and leave the rebound to me."

Playing against the Spurs, Iverson was abused enough that he began to doubt his life for a while.

Li Xun is also worried that Iverson is burdened, and he dare not vote in this game.

If you want to talk about the entire Pistons team, Li Xun's favorite player is undoubtedly Iverson.

In addition to the reasons for Iverson's extreme righteousness, there are also reasons for Iverson's low shooting rate.

The lower the shooting percentage, the more rebounds, it's hard for Li Xun to like it or not.

The jump ball started and Kwame Brown won the jump ball again.

What Li Xun never expected was that Loel Deng, who was playing against him tonight, saw that his side lost the jump ball, so he didn't rush back to defend.

Instead, he ran directly to Li Xun's side.

What is this ghost?

Li Xun suddenly realized, isn't this guy worried about his opening three-point shot?
The last time Li Xun played against the Nets, he forced a three-pointer directly after the jump ball.

Maybe Loel Deng was worried that Li Xun would come out again, so he just kept an eye on Li Xun first.

Luol Deng, nicknamed Deng Yingqiao, is also 206 cm tall, and he actually has a lot of similarities with Li Xun.

Both of them play the main small forward position, and then they can play power forward as a guest.

It's just that now Li Xun said that he mainly plays small forwards, and no one will believe it.

Li Xun simply ignored the ball and led Deng Yingqiao to the front basket.

In the first offensive round, Iverson felt good today and scored against Rose's defensive mid-range shot.

When it was the bull's turn to attack, Li Xun's expression became serious.

Rose has started to hold the ball outside the three-point line. Judging from his posture, he must be going to hit the basket.

Iverson took the initiative to greet him, but he was too old to keep up with Rose's footsteps, and watched Rose rush to the basket with the ball.

Li Xun immediately left Deng Yingqiao behind and rushed towards Rose's path.

It's just a good time to try the power of the barley-based capping technique.

Although it's only a C-level skill, you can ignore the negative effects of cheating. In fact, this skill is quite powerful.

It can increase Li Xun's block blocking ability to 92 points, which is already the blocking level of the league's top inside defenders.

With the ball over the free throw line, Rose has already started to take off.

At this time Li Xun also took off at the same time.

In mid-air, Rose's body stretched out his arms at a strange angle, looking like he was trying to pick a basket.

But Li Xun doesn't know much about Rose, he must pull the bar for this shot.

After the jump, Li Xun did not reach out rashly.

At the moment Rose's body fell, the iconic pull-bar layup was used.

Li Xun saw the opportunity and slapped the basketball directly with his big hand.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, Rose's shot was directly slapped out of bounds by Li Xun.

After landing, Li Xun couldn't hide the smile on his face.

I actually blocked Rose, it was really like a dream.

In fact, it's normal to think about it. Rose is a rookie after all, and Li Xun has the ability to block shots at the peak of Big McGee.

In addition, Ross slightly underestimated Li Xun, so it is not surprising that he was blocked.

"Good job!"

"It's really you, Li Xun."

All the Pistons applauded.

At the beginning of the game, the Bulls' core was rewarded with a big cap. In terms of the momentum of this game, the Pistons have already taken the lead.

Ross frowned and looked at Li Xun, realizing that something was wrong.

He is the number one rookie in the 08 class, while Li Xun is the second to last.

It is not too much to say that these two people are one in the sky and the other in the underground.

But after only one round of fighting, Li Xun gave himself a big hat, which made Ross realize that Li Xun was far from simple.

The ball was fanned out of bounds, and the Bulls still had the ball.

This time, Hinrich made a three-pointer from the outside and failed to score. Li Xun pressed Joakim Noah to receive the defensive rebound.

The two sides entered a pitched battle.

Rose became more and more frightened as he played, and Li Xun's rebounding ability was so strong that it was a mess.

Deng Yingqiao, who is facing him, has negligible rebounding strength, after all, he is not an inside player at all.

But Noah's rebounding strength is not covered.

Although he is only a second-year rookie, the Bulls now regard him as the absolute core of the inside to train.

He lived up to his expectations, whether it was rebounding or defense, he was definitely the leading presence among young insiders.

In this year when the center is withering, among the young insiders, Noah definitely exists in the top five.

But this top five insiders are like air in front of Li Xun.

Whether it's offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, as long as they don't collapse too far from the basket, they can't beat Li Xun.

After a few minutes, Li Xun had already grabbed 5 rebounds, while Noah still had zero rebounds.

"Snapped!"

There was another crisp sound, and Noah beat Kwame Brown under the basket, and was benefited by Li Xun, who once again gained a block data.

Li Xun was replaced until 10 minutes into the first quarter.

In 10 minutes, Li Xun has scored 8 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists.

The score is still zero.

I don't know if it was bad luck.

This is already the third game Li Xun has played, but he still hasn't made even one free throw.

Playing the Nets, he finally looked at the free throw, but was sent off.

The game lasted 10 minutes, but Li Xun didn't get a single whistle.

The main reason for this situation is that Li Xun doesn't stick to the ball at all, as long as he grabs a rebound, he immediately passes it out.

The opponent doesn't even have a chance to foul.

After just a few minutes of rest off the court, the situation on the court immediately became worse.

Originally Li Xun was leading by seven points when he left the field, but after 2 minutes in the second quarter, the Bulls evened the score directly.

In desperation, Michael Curry had no choice but to replace Li Xun back on the court.

Seeing Li Xun's return, the veteran Pistons on the field seemed to have found their backbone.

Without Li Xun, when they shot, they always felt that they had no confidence in their hearts.

Now that Li Xun is back, what if he misses the shot, anyway, Li Xun can protect the rebound well.

At the end of the first half, the Pistons temporarily led by three points at 49:46.

At this time, Li Xun has scored 15 rebounds, 4 blocks and 5 assists.
