Chapter 3 Stone, kill Crawford
The end of April.

The NBA regular season is gradually coming to an end.

Teams that failed to make the playoffs ushered in a half-year offseason.

These players have started their own travel plans, or additional training.

A tall black man broke into a basketball court near Los Angeles' Chinatown.

"Jamal Crawford?"

"My God, Crawford, the No. 1 player of the Chicago Bulls in the NBA, how did he appear here?"

"This is normal. Crawford is a street player. He has collided with the street player Alston several times. Every offseason, he will go to the street to play. Most of the time he is in his hometown of Seattle, and occasionally he will go to other places. The state is looking for the best streetball players."

A street player familiar with Crawford said.

At this time, Crawford was a third-year NBA student, averaging 10.7 points and 4.2 assists per game, not a big-name star.

But in streetball circles, he really made a name for himself.

A group of people surrounded it.

Crawford also warmly greeted everyone.

Then asked: "Who is Stone?"

Obviously, Crawford came to challenge Li Lei.

No need for everyone to answer, Crawford has already found Li Lei by himself.

The yellow-skinned streetball player is a cherished and protected animal in the American baseball field.

"Hey, Stone, hello."

Crawford took the initiative to say hello to Li Lei, without any airs of a star at all.

"Hello, Crawford!"

Li Lei responded.

The two shook hands, touched arms, and greeted each other in the street style.

"I'm here to challenge you, are you ready for $5?"

Crawford cut to the chase.

Not to be outdone, Li Lei said, "The money is always there, whether you can take it or not depends on your own ability."

This is crazy.

The crowd booed for a while.

"Stone, are you crazy?"

"This is Crawford."

"When he was playing streetball, you were still breastfeeding."

"He can blow you up with one hand!"

……

Obviously, although Li Lei ruled the field for more than a month, no one supported him.

Because the opponent is Crawford!
Crawford didn't care: "According to your rules?"

Li Lei: "Of course. Five rounds, three goals, you win!"

The onlookers discussed enthusiastically, and called their friends to come quickly.

Crawford is no small character that you meet at random.

Basketball fans keep coming from the nearby neighborhoods.

More and more people.

"You say, how many goals can Crawford score?"

someone asked.

"Man, are you stupid? This question needs to be asked, of course it is five balls."

"Yes, don't look at Stone's defense is good, but he can't defend any ball."

"On the street court, no one can stop Crawford!"

While everyone was discussing, Li Lei and Crawford started warming up.

Crawford is 196cm tall and weighs just over 90kg, looking very thin.

This weight is a disadvantage for defense, and Crawford is valued for his ability to handle the ball.

NBA scouts define rookie Crawford as a gorgeous ball handler.

He took a few shots of the basketball and did a few crotch dribbles, which was really smooth.

More importantly, Crawford doesn't need to watch the ball at all when he dribbles. The basketball seems to have become a part of his body, playing with it wantonly, this ball feels amazing!
He occasionally does some difficult ball-handling moves. Others try hard, but Crawford is as easy as eating and drinking.

It caused the onlookers to burst into exclamations.

"Oh, no one cares about winning or losing, because winning or losing is predetermined. I just came to watch Crawford play, and it was a real treat."

Some street players showed admiration.

It drew the approval of others.

Li Lei, who was in the crowd, felt the pressure on his face.

"Is this the strength of the NBA level?"

His heart was beating wildly, and there was an excited look on his face: "So excited!"

The challenge begins.

Li Lei serves.

Crawford caught the ball with ease, smiled and said, "I'm going to start."

Crawford did not rush to attack, but showed a few more crotch dribbles. The basketball danced in his hands like an elf, and the crowd screamed again and again.

bells and whistles!

Li Lei thought to himself.

But that's the street style, and the dazzling ball can distract the defender's attention and bring more deception.

Unfortunately, Li Lei was unmoved.

The reaction ability of up to 58 can quickly identify which moves are tricks and which moves are truly aggressive.

The balance ability as high as 50 can also prevent Li Lei from being swayed by ordinary fake moves.

Seeing that Li Lei was unmoved, Crawford praised him in his heart, but that was all.

Suddenly, Crawford rises up and pulls up for a jumper.

"That's it?"

Li Lei disdains.

Crawford shot in front of Li Lei, triggering the passive of the bloody cap.

Li Lei stood up and slapped him across the face.

Power down!

Snapped!
The basketball was slapped hard and flew into the crowd, causing a burst of chaotic exclamations.

"Oh, sell the dog! Crawford was blocked by Stone, and it was an atrocious pot."

Crawford also opened his mouth slightly, and then said with a smile: "Stone, you are very good!"

Crawford did not become angry because of being blocked, but was still very enthusiastic.

He underestimated Stone.

But in the next round, he will be a little more serious.

Li Lei didn't speak.

He felt that Crawford seemed enthusiastic, but he didn't take himself seriously at all. He played very casually.

A simple pull-up jumper wants to kill himself.

This is slighting.

Li Lei didn't get angry, nor did he use words to provoke Crawford, it would only make him look ridiculous.

Everything is proved by action.

The second round begins.

Li Lei was more focused.

Crawford also got a little more serious.

A series of fancy dribbles still failed to fool Li Lei, and Crawford started instantly.

His first step is very fast.

But Li Lei was fully focused, and his movement speed increased a lot, and he blocked Crawford's breakthrough line with one slip.

The breakthrough was blocked, but it couldn't help Crawford.

A signature behind-the-back dribble, Crawford blasts from the other side.

But Li Lei blocked the line in time.

Crawford bumped into Li Lei's strong body, staggered, and the basketball let go.

"This guy is so strong! Not good!"

Crawford was surprised.

Compared to the embarrassed Crawford, Li Lei remained motionless, firmly rooted in the ground.

At this moment, Li Lei made a lightning-fast shot and made a precise steal!
Snapped!
The ball was in Li Lei's hands.

"Oh, dog seller!"

The onlookers exclaimed again.

"It's unbelievable that Li Lei defended against Crawford twice in a row!"

"A bad news, there are three rounds left, Crawford must score three goals in a row, or lose."

"Conversely, as long as Stone defends another ball, he will defeat the NBA player and street ball king Crawford?"

"It's unbelievable, but it's true."

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became excited.

"Stone, come on!"

"Stone, kill Crawford!"

……

Some people began to cheer for Li Lei.

In the first round, no one supported Li Lei. That was because everyone knew Crawford's strength and thought it was impossible for him to lose. Li Lei had no chance of winning.

But now, Li Lei might really win, and there will naturally be people supporting him.

The people on the street don't care who you are Crawford, and the weak Jedi counterattack is much more interesting than the strong crushing the weak. This is the story that people prefer.
