I'm king in the basket

Chapter 447 Unsolvable Counterattack

Hearing what the head coach said, a lean black man stood up on the Pistons' bench.

Rodney Stuckey, the most noteworthy person in the history of the Pistons reconstruction.

At this moment, it is already the sixth year that he has taken over the scepter of Chauncey Billups, and he has been mixed up from the future hopeful star to Knight's backup, which is sad and lamentable.

The reason for this bad effect is that in addition to his own lack of stability and suffering from injuries, the management's unrealistic high expectations are the culprit.

When Stephenson saw the Pistons' backup point guard, he felt nothing.

Li Xing also glanced at Stucky and then looked away.

Stuckey is definitely an eternal pain in the hearts of Pistons fans.

Some people say that he is the godson of Dumars, some people say that he is the illegitimate son, and even some fans bluntly tease him as the prince.

After he had a bright performance in the playoffs, Dumars caught him at a glance and threatened: This kid reminds me of the smiling assassin!

To make way for his vision of a point guard of the future, Dumars traded Chauncey Billups.

Billups brought Iverson.

The naive AI thought that "this handsome young man is here to assist me." As a result, within a few games, he became Starkey's substitute.

Pistons fans are well aware that this move will symbolically push Stuckey to the cornerstone of the team.But in the six years since then, their team has handed over a 6-179 record.

Stuckey was never the team's best player for even one season.In the best 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons, he also ranked second in the team's win shares list, second only to Monroe.

But other times, he just played as the team's sixth or even seventh man.

After all, Stuckey did not survive the seven-year itch. The stubborn Dumas had to admit that he had misjudged him. This man was not their chosen one, and he was not as good as Knight.

So he became a substitute.

"I remembered, you are the trash who can't lift up." Stephenson said.

Stucky's eyes were cold, he didn't want to hear others comment on this matter.

"Shut up!" Starkey said coldly.

"Forgive me for not being able to do it, you bastard who wasted opportunities should die."

Stuckey got the opportunity for six full years, and the result was a mess. If the same opportunity was given to other people, most of them could play well, but he played from the core position to the substitute.

Stephenson's defense was difficult to defend Stuckey to death. He protruded from the encirclement, came to the basket, and tried to challenge Li Xing.

Li Xing's indifferent expression gave Stucky an unspeakable sense of fear.

He also played against Li Xing in the previous few seasons, and every time, he had to be blocked several times.

The more games I played against Li Xing, the more fearful I became about his defense. Stucky wavered a second before he made the shot, and he didn't know if he was doing the right thing.

The ball flew out of his palm and rolled towards the sky, but Li Xing's hand was waiting at a higher place.

Stuckey knew that what awaited him was a ruthless block.

No, maybe worse than capping.

He took a deep breath, and the ball hit Li Xing's palm.

Li Xing pressed his wrist down, grabbed the ball, and then grabbed it directly from the air.

What kind of strength is needed to catch the ball with a sharp spin with one hand?
Fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills gasped.

Even teammates, even the loathsome Lucky Lee, have to admit it's a horrible defense.

"Look at the look in Rodney's eyes, he must be thinking, why am I competing with this monster?"

"Listen to the cheers, who was the last player to get that cheer in Auburn Hills?"

"Larch~~~"

Chelan Simmons screamed, and she was finally able to scream without any scruples, because even the fans at the scene were impressed by Li Xing's hat grab.

Li Xing rushed forward with the ball, Drummond followed behind, and blocked the shot when the time came.

Li Xing's fake action shook him away, he raised his hand, and the ball flew out from between his fingers.

Drummond wanted to block from behind, but was easily dodged.

The ball flew along the route designed by Li Xing, and finally fell into the basket.

Flip-back jumper, catch the cap and dribble in the backcourt.

The lead brought by Drummond was easily equalized by Li Xing.

"Greg, get ready."

The Pistons decided to go to the twin towers. It kind of means that "Lu Bu can't be defeated by one person".

Stuckey couldn't stand Stephenson's provocation and continued to attack with the ball.

There were boos at his move.

"Pass the ball, idiot!"

"You can't fucking fight at all!"

"Give the ball to Andre! We want to see Andre!"

Drummond was going to a deep spot, and Stuckey was obsessed with the ball like he couldn't see it.

The boos of the fans woke up Stuckey, who thought of his ever-insignificant team status, and he passed the ball.

Drummond got the ball, and the fans cheered loudly, expecting Drummond to give them a good offense.

Drummond knows better than them how tough this shot is, and his opponent is no longer Aaron Gray.

Li Xing is a crocodile in the water, he will open his bloody mouth and bite the prey's trachea when the prey is most relaxed.

He will not let go until the other party dies.

Even when he dies, he will tear off your flesh with a dance of death to feast on.

As a player who plays 20 minutes per game but can contribute 7+7+1.5 blocks, Drummond has a rookie efficiency value that surpasses Irving, McGrady, Kobe and others.

His progress is highly anticipated.

His opponent is also Li Xing, who is famous for his progress.

Li Xing's progress is a mystery in the basketball world. No one knows how he made such a significant progress in the short offseason.

Drummond's attack was instigated by fanatical fans, which was his first step to challenge Li Xing.

Drummond is a typical American insider, with a strong body, strong physical fitness, and rough offensive skills.

In their eyes, the set of skills that Li Xing used was like a god descending from the earth, extremely wonderful.

Drummond's super high efficiency comes from his grasp of opportunities, and when he comes off the bench, he is facing off against substitute players who are generally not as competitive as himself.

And now he is facing No.1 in the league.

"Snapped!"

a cover.

The ball returned to Drummond's hands and started again.

"Snapped!"

Drummond didn't know why the ball flew into his hands again.

He wobbles and throws a hook, the only offensive trick with a chance of avoiding a block.

The truth is this, but the distance between him and Li Xing is too close, even a hook can't exceed the height difference between the two.

Li Xing jumped up without pressure, like a world-class main attacker, and vigorously smashed the ball to the floor.

With three blocks in a row, Drummond was defeated by Li Xing.

Stuckey picked up the rebound and made a shot at the buzzer.

Shot clock violation.

In dead time, Monroe replaced Mark Hill.

At the same time, the Raptors also replaced the starting lineup.

Dragic, Bargnani and Middleton played together.

The piston swings the twin towers, the intention is extremely obvious.

"Can the combination of Greg and Andre suppress Larch?" Sely asked knowingly.

Van Gundy is about to come out to speak at this time: "There were also teams that used crowd tactics against Shaq back then. Guess what happened?"

Sely had a disdainful smile on his mouth, of course he knew what was going on.

O'Neal tidied up that group of people, and the Lakers won three consecutive championships, it's that simple.

Unknowingly, Li Xing has become the O'Neill of this era.

Moreover, his peak came too early.

After this year, he is only 23 years old, who knows where his upper limit is?

Maybe he has surpassed O'Neal, maybe he is the number one center in history, he just needs some honors to embellish himself.

"I am coming!"

Monroe stared at Li Xing fiercely.

"Greg, leave it to me," Drummond said.

"Be careful," Monroe said.

Both Drummond and Monroe are centers who can handle the ball, which is the foundation of the Twin Towers.

To play twin towers, the two insiders must seamlessly switch between high and low positions, otherwise it will not be twin towers, but double highs.

The problem with these two is that the range is insufficient, and they cannot exert the maximum power of the twin towers.

The two sides drew, Stuckey looked at the formation of the Raptors, do not see any way.

Middleton walked slowly with his waist down, no one knew what he wanted to do.

Suddenly, Li Xing got stuck on the sidewalk and blocked the old prince for Middleton.

The young rookie got rid of the old cannon's defense and ran to the top of the arc. Dragic passed the ball with one hand.

Middleton held his breath, tossed the ball, and shot.

With a neat three-pointer, Middleton's shot went through the center of the basket.

"Lachey Another Screen Assist!"

"The quality of his cover is so good that Tayshaun can't shake it off at all."

"come on, come on, come on!"

Cheran's voice was magical, and Middleton asked Li Xing again: "Can you shut her up?"

"She's cheering for you, rookie."

Li Xing really felt that this kid was too hypocritical.

Hearing this, Middleton looked arrogant: "I don't need it."

"Okay, I'll try."

Before, Li Xing used the excuse of worrying about Cheran's personal safety, but this time, he changed it.

"It's very harmful to your vocal cords if you say that. Please don't do it again. We have received your wishes. Don't worry, we will win this game."

No matter how gentle you are, if you say it with a sage's face, it will not be so touching.

"All right."

Cheran said reluctantly.

Middleton's three-pointer allowed the Raptors to reverse the score. Then, his defense was overwhelmed by Prince. The old prince wanted to get the score back for the team. Li Xing flashed and sent a big cap. Dragic Counterattack with the ball in rotation.

When Dragic, DeRozan and Middleton are on the court at the same time, the Raptors' counterattack is unstoppable.

Dragic can break a line of defense by himself, DeRozan is the king of counterattacks, and Middleton stays outside the three-point line. It is unsolvable for the three to participate in the counterattack at the same time.

In the end, Dragic took advantage of the restraining power of the other two players to play Stuckey for a layup and score 2+1.
