I'm king in the basket

Chapter 373
Stephenson is not used to the Heat's defense of him.

Rude, irregular, confrontational, and meticulous.

It was inconceivable that such a battle would be applied to a small character like him, and in his opinion, it was against common sense.

A quick question: What's the use of this defense against Lucky Lee in my small role?
He has every reason to suspect that this is Chalmers deliberately embarrassing him, he is a substitute, he is a weak point in the Raptors' starting lineup.

For him, it couldn't be easier.

Once the illusion of "the whole world is against me" arises, the angle of view of the problem will be deviated, and some actions beyond reason will appear.

"Do you fucking think you can force me to submit like this?"

Stephenson spat at Chalmers.

Chalmers put on a funny face, and he was unwavering in Stephenson's trash talk, and the other party was like a joke in his eyes.

The more dissatisfied Stephenson is with his defense, the more it speaks volumes for the need to do so.

He couldn't wait to make a small movement, raising an elbow to Stephenson's back.

The movements were extremely hidden, neither the referee nor the camera could capture his movements, but the pain was real.

Stephenson was already on fire, how could he continue to endure it now?
Chalmers elbowed him and the referee ignored it.

He thought that the referee was condoning this behavior, so he raised his elbows to make Chalmers look good. As soon as the two entangled, the whistle blew.

However, the flames between the two had been stirred up, and even if the referee wanted to persuade them to fight, they did not stop pushing and shoving.

With a sudden force, Chalmers pushed Stephenson away.

Stephenson was furious, and three corpses appeared on his forehead, wishing he could kill the bastard with a knife.

Li Xing, who was the closest, quickly ran over and separated the two of them: "What do you want to do?" "I'm fucking with this bastard tonight!" Stephenson muttered angrily.

Li Xing didn't intend to change him, he just wanted Stephenson to know that anger, rage, and even revenge couldn't help him.

The most important thing is to be calm, no matter what you encounter, you must remain calm.

Obviously, the current Stephenson can't listen to such a rationale, he just wants to make Chalmers bleed out.

Perhaps Chalmers had the same plan, but his approach was much smarter than Stephenson's. He did all those dark little moves behind the referee's back.

By doing so, he not only satisfied his own needs, but also gave the referee enough face. How could he act impulsively like Stephenson, a silly boy.

"It's only this time, it won't happen next time."

The referee's eyes were cold, as if he had just floated from the bottom of the sea to a stone on the surface of the sea. It could be seen that no additional penalty was the maximum concession he could make.

Tonight's theme is clear.

The referee hopes that the players on both sides will have a strong confrontation. It is certain that they are somewhat violent and like to see players fighting for victory.

Stephenson and Chalmers are the two most explosive players on the field. If they are sent off, such a wonderful scene will not be seen, and they will not do so.

Of course, if these two fools toasted and refused to eat fine wine, and regarded the referee's tolerance as presumptuous capital, then no wonder the referee taught them to be human.

Chalmers knew what the referee was thinking, but unfortunately, Stephenson didn't.

He was still thinking about revenge. He had many plans, any one of which could be carried out by someone lying down.

Even if this is Miami's home court, he will not give up his thoughts.

That's what he does.

"I don't care what you're planning, just give up."

Li Xing seemed to be able to see Stephenson's heart, his eyes penetrated the flesh and blood, and directly entered his body.

Li Xing was the only one who could make Stephenson change his mind.

"I see."

Stephenson said.

Stephenson didn't get any punishment, he made the Raptors lose the ball.

"Good job, Mario."

Wade's love for this junior is beyond words. Every team needs such a villain. They can annoy their opponents and bring great benefits to the team at the same time.

One or two ball possessions may not be a big deal. What if they force the opponent to make a key mistake at a critical moment?
That would be a great contribution.

Li Xing let Stephenson temporarily suppress the desire for revenge, oppressing the opponent as usual, this is the Raptors' usual way of playing.

The core of coach Snyder's coaching team is control.Make the most of each turn by slowly and carefully controlling the tempo to give your side the upper hand.

In doing so, Snyder allows his players to get the most out of their talents between plays.

The Raptors, with their mix of young stars and veterans, are at home in this style of play.

Slowing down the game and paying attention to details -- both are as important as strengthening the team.By controlling turnovers, even a flawed lineup can overwhelm opponents with an advantage in effective shooting.By doing every defense well, the team has the opportunity to reduce the opponent's easy points and win.

This is the most vivid personal characteristic that Snyder has injected into the Raptors after Triano left.

It's a pity that Calderon's injured body went wrong.

The Raptors are like a precision machine, as long as the machine is complete, it can run in an orderly manner. Unfortunately, some parts of this machine are unique.

At least until this season, there is no other replacement for Snyder.

Calderon is one of those few unique parts. His style is unique to the Raptors, and several other guards do not have his leadership.

Both Stephenson and Shelvin Mack are attacking guards with a heavy emphasis on offense.

Without Calderon, the team lost a stable outside firepower point, a shooter, a captain who stabilized the army, a commander who controlled the rhythm, and a liaison who perfectly contacted the other four players.

Some players can only know all the good things about him when they are lost.

Things are irreversible, even if the Raptors slammed Calderon's head a hundred times, he couldn't recover his knee.

They can only use the current strategy and continue the game.

Compared with the Raptors, the Heat's No. [-] position is not such a big problem.

Chalmers is also not a qualified starter, but the Heat's No. [-] position does not need to have too much talent.

To be precise, the guards around James only need these things: tough defense, steady shooting, and smooth ears.

The natural duty of the No. [-] position is to coordinate the team and connect the entire army.

With James, the most difficult item is not under the control of the No. [-] position.

His Majesty the Emperor has solved your biggest problem, why don't you put the rest of your energy in other places?

Therefore, you can’t add trouble to the king, you have to do a good job of defense; the king’s attack power is invincible, and when you break through, you can drag the opponent’s defense line, you have to be prepared and throw the chance ball in; you have to listen to what the king says, even if what he says is wrong Show your faithfulness with "yes yes".

It's that simple, you can join LeBron James' Royal Salute if you can do these three things well.

When James chose to break through, the entire Raptors straightened up, ready to help defend at any time.

That doesn't include Bargnani.

The Raptors' system has some more variables because of the existence of Bargnani.

A player's position change can set off a chain reaction.Li Xing is an unstoppable center forward, and Bargnani is basically a power forward. However, when he is defending, he is often defending the opponent's third position.

Because of positioning problems, the Raptors rely on Li Xing's basket protection, so they often put up a 14-point defense and leave the basket to Li Xing alone.

Once the opponent wants to play a pick-and-roll, Bargnani on the outside must be ready to assist and switch defenses at any time.

It's just that James has an amazing impact and Snyder has a sense of people, so it's not enough for Bargnani to defend James.

Therefore, Bargnani is ready to give up Haslem at any time and block Battier on the periphery.

This is James' ace shooter in the Heat.

With Li Xing's defense, James' attack was fruitless and he found Barnes to pass the ball.

Bargnani waved his hands, wanting to defend Battier, he was full of momentum.

Nobody knows how a defensive colander like him has the air of a Defensive Player of the Year.

Fortunately, Battier is a veteran and knows what kind of virtue Bargnani is, otherwise he might really be frightened by him.

Shane Battier pretended to hold up the ball in his hand, and Bargnani was like a monkey in a zoo.

Battier's feint was a fake, but he was standing in front of one of the worst defensive players in history.

At this moment, Battier became God.

Battier said Bargnani was going to jump, and Bargnani jumped.

After the Italian jumped up, the rest became much simpler. The president patted the ball, dribbled it behind Bargnani, jumped up, and made a mid-range shot.

hit.

"nice shot!"

"Shawn played very smart!"

"The Italian's defense is really speechless. If I were Quinn Snyder, I would never let this guy play!"

Battier hit the shot, and Li Xing subconsciously looked at the scorer.

Regardless of the stumbling game, the Heat quietly established an advantage.

Li Xing couldn't believe it when he saw the score difference.

Why are you short of 8 points all of a sudden?Obviously didn't fight much.

"No, it won't work like this."

Regardless of just halfway through the first quarter, the 8-point difference is no small matter.

The fight with the opponent was very lively, and it turned out that the opponent led by 8 points?Isn't this a joke?
Li Xing didn't want the opponent's advantage to gradually increase in a subtle way. If they continued to let it go, by the time they really paid attention to the score, they might have lost more than ten points.

Instead of chasing points in a hurry by that time, it is better to start the prelude to chasing points now.

Li Xing's attitude was very clear, he pressed his back and stuck Bosh.

This move made Bosh unexpected.

Li Xing took the ball directly, without waiting for other people to double-team, let alone rushing backwards, relying purely on talent, turned around, and pulled up.

Bosh raised his hand, but couldn't touch Li Xing's ball.

Li Xing held the ball and shot.

"Shh!"
