I'm king in the basket

Chapter 343 Dominique the Unusual Way
Calderon then had a successful right knee meniscus removal.

Many fans expressed their blessings through various media.

And the Raptors' season continues.

Snyder first promoted Stephenson to the starting lineup, and then recalled two guards from his subordinate teams to expand the rotation.

As far as strength is concerned, Ben Youzo and Justin Dentmont are far from Stephenson's opponents.

It's just that now is an extraordinary period. Seeing such a transfer of personnel, Stephenson's heart can't help but feel crooked.

Game2 is coming soon, and the Raptors need to adjust from Calderon's reimbursement for the season as soon as possible.

Li Xing has come out of the shadow of Calderon's season reimbursement. In any case, the season is not over yet, and they have to focus on the next game. Calderon will definitely return from injury.

Stephenson had other ideas.

He saw Youzo and Dentmont for the first time at the Esbjerg Center, and he knew that if he didn't play well, the two could replace him at any time.

You Zuo and Dentmont are also typical American guards, with strong personal abilities, no one can stop them when they are crazy, and they can make Snyder's seven orifices bleed when they are stupid.

It can be said that they are the same style of players as Stephenson.

The difference is that their ratings and potential values ​​are far from Stephenson.

As a similar guard, Stephenson is much better than them.

It's just that Stephenson has some psychological problems now.

In an intra-team match, Stephenson repeatedly made mistakes, either the offensive choice was too reckless, or the passing technique was too frivolous.

Snyder was very dissatisfied, and repeatedly stopped the game to let Stephenson calm down.

"Lance, be serious and see your teammates clearly. You are now the team's brain, like the core engine of a machine. How this machine is driven depends on how you run it!"

Snyder said loudly.

Snyder's words also put pressure on Stephenson, who fumbled the pass on the ensuing drive.

Deng Temeng readily picked up the floor ball, and while he was off guard, he counterattacked and made a fast break.

"nice shot!"

You Zuo, who was also promoted from the lower league, cheered for him, and the two huddled together to keep warm, which greatly stimulated Stephenson.

"Lance, don't think so much, it's not difficult at all."

Li Xing said: "The coach does not want you to become Jose, you just need to be yourself, as usual is enough."

"Larch, I'm afraid I can't do well."

Stephenson said anxiously.

"No one can seize an opportunity once, believe in yourself, you have many opportunities, the coach will give you patience, and everyone will believe in you."

Li Xing encouraged Stephenson.

Stephenson gritted his teeth secretly, and said, "I won't let you down."

"We have never been disappointed with you." Li Xing smiled.

Li Xing's comfort also put pressure on Stephenson. He didn't know what to say or what to do.

He has already proven that he is who he is and will never be Calderon.

Now that Calderon is reimbursed for the season, he has been promoted to the starting position. This is his opportunity, the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time.

If he grasps it, he may be able to secure the starting lineup in one fell swoop.

Calderon was also injured before, and he also played in the starting lineup, but the effect was not good.

After that, Stephenson devoted himself to practice, trying to make himself better so that he could seize the opportunity when it came the second time.

This opportunity came so fast, so suddenly, that even he didn't expect it.

He inexplicably put himself under tremendous pressure, and he even thought, if he couldn't seize the opportunity this time, would Snyder decide that he was not suitable for starting?

Becoming the team's starter is his goal, and he has been working hard for it for two years.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, he can't tolerate his mistakes. There is no opportunity better than this. During the playoffs, competitors are injured, and he has to take advantage of it now if he wants to be in the top position.

"Lance, don't be nervous, let's work together."

Dentmont said so.

As an unshakable main rotation player, it was hard for Stephenson not to think that the other party was provoking him when he heard this guy who hadn't even played in the regular season say this.

"Nervous? Why should I be nervous? I'm not going to lose this competition!"

Stephenson's eyes widened, trying to impress Dentmont with his sense of competition.

Li Xing looked at them with big eyes and small eyes, and had nothing to say. He was not good at standing in the middle to mediate conflicts. This kind of thing is usually done by Calderon. Now that he is not here, he can only let it go. And let it go.

"Is that really all right?"

Tony Allen asked: "They fought so hard."

"The opportunity was originally won by oneself, and there is nothing wrong with that."

Li Xing has observed You Zuo and Deng Temeng. These two are the future of CBA. As long as there are no accidents and Stephenson himself does not make a big death, these two people will definitely not be able to compete with him.

After the competition fails, these two people may still struggle in the United States for a year or two, wasting their youth for the illusory NBA dream, until they will finally find out.

Basketball, NBA, fame and fortune are all floating clouds, and making money is the most important thing.

In this way, they will finally happily turn overseas, one will land in Europe, and the other will throw themselves into the embrace of socialism.

Such was their fate, if nothing else.

This confrontation is quite exciting, because the competition between several defenders is very intense.

Judging from the confrontation before the playoffs, this is a high-quality confrontation that helps players maintain their game state.

After playing such a match, Snyder is even more looking forward to tomorrow's game.

He doesn't know what kind of surprises the players will bring him, he is looking forward to it.

"It's ok. Everyone practiced very hard today. Tomorrow we will face New York in the same state. I believe you are all ready."

Snyder said: "Greater challenges lie ahead, and we must not stop here!"

Li Xing called the team members to his side and stretched out his long arms.

"We are lonely!"

"We stand side by side!"

“Toronto must win!”

After shouting the slogan, today's training is over.

Li Xing picked up the towel on the ground, and explained a few words to the team members: "I'm coming to train tomorrow morning, so you should go early."

"Morning?"

Jean Nuo raised his head and looked at him curiously: "Are you sure?"

"What? Can't I just work harder?"

This sentence sounded as ridiculous to Jeannot as a sow trying to climb a tree.

Although it was so ridiculous, he didn't laugh because his laugh point was a bit high: "I'm looking forward to tomorrow's training."

Hearing what he said, Li Xing felt a sense of fear.

This guy doesn't know what the hell he's planning, won't he arrange some weird training tomorrow, right?He doesn't want it!
"Then, see you tomorrow."

Li Xing took a shower in the bathhouse in the center of Esbjerg, changed his clothes, called Dante, and asked him to drive to the Machia restaurant two kilometers away.

He has a date here.

Needless to say, the other party was, of course, Evangeline Lilly.

The two are getting along very well now. Although they have only known each other for less than three days, Li Xing has an indescribable charm.

The collective name for this charm is "playful eyes + charming body".

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Li Xing said with a smile.

Evangeline said, "I knew you were going to be late, so I was prepared."

"Oh? Then I was a few minutes late?"

"It's not too long. In 5 minutes, you will be punished with three drinks for this. Accept?" Evangeline's eyes seemed to be shining, and she kept firing Li Xing.

How could Li Xing not accept it: "It should, it's very fair."

"How's Jose's injury?" Evangeline asked.

"It's not light, I won't come back this season." Li Xing said.

Evangeline regretted, "It's a pity, he is a very good defender." "Oh? Do you follow the NBA?" Li Xing looked at her curiously.

"Pay attention, but I don't really understand."

It can be seen that Calderon is a fan of good defenders. He can't say he knows much about football, but he is definitely a real fan.

"Yeah, his injury is a serious loss for us, and our back line is already empty."

Li Xing actually chatted with her about football at the dinner table.

Maybe some people can't understand that the man and woman on this date are talking about a ball, and someone who shouldn't appear appears.

"Evangeline."

Dominic Mohanna followed all the way here. He prepared a bouquet of flowers, and saw Li Xing and Evangeline talking happily.

"you you"

"Domi, why are you here?"

Li Xing looked back, and suddenly felt that this buddy looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, where is it?
"You are."

Dominic's tongue got stuck, he wondered what they were doing, but was there even a question?
An empty restaurant, such a nice seat, such an elegant piece of music, a sweet smile on Evangeline's face.
Still need to ask?

"You're dating this jerk? Do you know how many girlfriends he has? This jerk is a stallion who can never get enough!" Dominique exploded.

Li Xing was really strange. What surprised him the most was that he didn't know who the hell was this guy who was making irresponsible remarks in front of him?

"Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"

Li Xing smiled and said: "I have booked this restaurant, can I invite you out? Disturbing the two people's world is a crime of shooting level."

"Which country's crime? Where is such a crime?" Dominique sneered.

Li Xing smiled lightly: "My law is naturally a crime I committed!"

"Who do you think you are? Besides, there are so many places here, can't I come in and eat? Who do you think you are? The king of Toronto? Hahaha~~~" Dominic laughed mockingly.

"That's a pity."

Li Xing filled his and Evangeline's glasses with wine, and said slowly, "I've already reserved this restaurant, there can't be any third guests here except me and Lily."

"When? If you book the restaurant, will they let me in?"

Dominic wants to screw up their date.

"Just now, I booked the restaurant, please go out."

"I do not!"

"Dante~~"

Li Xing shouted.

In this way, Dominic gave up the chance to go out, but was held up by Dante and thrown out.
