I'm king in the basket

Chapter 462
"We can win some games, and we did win them, but our spirit is not strong enough. Even if we win the games, we won't be happy."

Bargnani meant something, and it was obvious who was being named.

Bargnani drank Gatorade quietly. Anyway, it was not once or twice that he was used as a negative example to educate everyone. He was used to it.

"Guys, you are two-time champions. Many people are watching your every move. If you are not careful, you will encounter extremely unfavorable public opinion."

"Tonight, we didn't play like a team that won championships the past two years."

As soon as Snyder got off the call, most of the intermission time had passed.

Li Xing is dozing off, anyway, Snyder is definitely not talking about him, and the tactics are nothing special, Mei needs to listen carefully, why not take a good rest and get enough energy for the second half of the game.

Snyder is not at all measured: "Now it's time to pick up the spirit and watch, let's play like a champion!"

After that, Snyder shifted his focus to deploying tactics.

Snyder finally stopped chanting. Bargnani looked at the time and found that tonight's sutra ended a minute earlier than usual.

Intermission is over.

The second half comes.

The suspense of this game has shifted from victory to when garbage time will arrive.

The Raptors are all starting, and the Hornets are also all starting.

Lopez honestly stuck in the pick-and-roll screen, doing some things that cannot be reflected in the data.

Li Xing was concentrating on defense. Through this round of offense, he had a general understanding of the opponent's strategy.

If Vasquez hadn't been ordered to die, he wouldn't have rushed to the basket so recklessly.

Seeing Vasquez sprint like this, of course Li Xing would not satisfy him.

When the Venezuelan's ball was thrown, Li Xing broke free from Lopez's shackles and intercepted his layup from high altitude.

This kind of blocking, only he can do.

He is the only person in the world with such a blocking height.

Vasquez really has nothing to say. If Li Xing cannot be pulled out, it is impossible to lay up in front of him.

Strong defense will make people despair.

Li Xing's defense brought the opponent not only despair, but also an unspeakable sense of suffocation. The closer he was to him, the more difficult it would be to breathe.

He can deter those who are on the perimeter and coveting the paint just by standing next to the paint.

On the defensive end, he guards everyone like a mountain god. When it comes to the offensive end, he attacks when he wants to attack, picks and rolls when he wants to pick and roll, and supports when he wants to do pivots.

In the Raptors' offensive system, Li Xing's role is the most free, and he has the greatest initiative.

This round, he set up a wall-like cover for Middleton.

In front of this screen, the Hornets' starting small forward Aminu fell in the second half.

Middleton rushed into the penalty area, caught the ball and scored a layup.

Lopez's defense is good, but his rim protection effect is not good. If he and Davis' roles are reversed, the effect will be much better.

The Hornets lack the determination to break the boat, and their head coach dare not exercise power, allowing Davis to unleash his talent in the penalty area.

"Take it easy!"

Vasquez stabilized everyone's mood and shouted loudly.

Those who are interested will notice that after Middleton made a layup, the point difference came to 15 points.

This is a sensitive number. In the future, garbage time will come, and in the future, there will be a chance to fight.

The Hornets gave a death order during the intermission and hit the Raptors' penalty area.

The Raptors are the same way. During the intermission, they gave a death order to prevent Gordon from scoring outside.

The two dead orders produced superimposed effects invisibly.

Because the coach issued a death order, the Hornets players must break through desperately while giving up shooting as much as possible; also because of the death order, the Raptors players must moderately relax their defense against breakthroughs while strictly preventing the opponent from shooting.

The superposition of appearances makes it easier for the Hornets to break through.

Li Xing felt that what they did was undoubtedly bringing their own death.

His ability to protect the basket is well known in the world. To break his defensive system, he cannot rely on hard attack, because there is no such player, and he can only outsmart him.

There are ways to outsmart, and one of the ways is to pull the inside line who can shoot out.However, not every team can lure people out in this way.

For example, the Hornets, they lack space-type insiders, so this method cannot be used.

Gordon's breakthrough can be described as the best, and the change of direction is astonishing. Even if DeRozan did not relax the restrictions on breakthroughs, there is a high probability of being passed in the face of such breakthroughs.

Gordon burst in, and it wasn't hard for him.

The difficulty is how to score with Li Xing's help.

He adjusted the arc of the throw to the highest level, and as a result, the accuracy was ridiculously crooked.

The ball bastard basket neck, fell directly into Li Xing's arms.

As early as after his successful breakthrough, DeRozan was ready to make a fast break. Seeing that his throw was so reluctant, it was not expected, so he decided to strike first.

Li Xing got the rebound, and DeRozan, who took the counterattack as a success lesson, had already run past halftime.

Li Xing's reaction was unparalleled. He was still in the air, and he didn't hold the ball firmly, so he raised it directly above his head and threw it out.

Everyone couldn't react, the speed of the ball surpassed DeRozan's speed.

The ball overtook DeRozan, leading the flying man who could grow wings at any time and fly into the air to dance with it.

DeRozan catches the ball inside the arc, and it's his showtime moment.

The closest person to him is Vasquez who gave up after chasing the LOGO.

DeRozan made a 360-degree turn and dunked with one hand, ending the counterattack magnificently.

In this way, the point difference came to 17 points.

Vasquez looked at the coach and asked if he would continue to attack according to the tactics.

Their head coach was also in a dilemma. He arranged this tactic to break Li Xing's defense.

This tactic has been drawn by many people, but Li Xing killed their Nianxiang with a terrifying cover.

Those people will eventually pick up the old method of "using the space insider to pull Li Xing away".

The head coach of the Hornets, Monty Williams, knows that the team is still in the process of rebuilding. It should focus on training young people, supplemented by poor performance. When necessary, concentrate on defeating one or two strong teams to boost the morale of the team.

It's a pity that they are not the kind of potential stocks that can defeat strong teams as long as they concentrate their efforts.

Up and down the team, the only future is Anthony Davis.

This is a fact recognized by the whole team, and this is why they are still performing poorly.

Davis is fine, but it would be naive to pin all hope on him alone.

The rise of a team, in addition to cornerstone players, also needs a few right-hand men who can help young cornerstones.

It is impossible for a small club like New Orleans to make a difference in its own market. If you want to find a helper for Davis, the best way is to trade, and the second is to play badly.

But playing poorly is more like scratching a lottery ticket, even the number one lottery has the possibility of being caught blind.

Seeing the point difference gradually widen, Davis felt a little bit in his heart.

There is indeed a huge gap between them and the Raptors.

He could feel that the opponents didn't exert much force, and they fell down. The gap was so large that it was hopeless.

Even if they play a hundred games, they may not win one.

Davis is not reconciled to let the game be concluded in this way.

Bargnani found that Davis had the ball, right in front of him, and the matchup was inevitable.

Li Xing looked at Davis in the high position ahead.

What can he do?Although Davis has guard-like skills, those skills have not yet been displayed on the NBA court.

His confrontation and core strength are not enough.

Although Bargnani's defense is poor, but after playing in the NBA for so many years, he still has the strength and confrontation to bully rookies.

Davis did not make a strong shot, which is his most sure offensive method.

With Bargnani's physical fitness, it is impossible to block his shots.

On the sidelines, Sylvester was heartbroken.

He didn't know what Davis wanted to do.

Suddenly, he dribbled the ball strong.

Sure enough, it's a guard-like movement. With a height of 208 cm, this set of movements is not stiff at all. The ball feel is really natural.

Bargnani's defense was slack, and before he was in a hurry to confront, Davis simply passed him.

The next defense is the real challenge.

Li Xing is not Bargnani, so he will not give him a favor, and Davis must score.

Li Xing didn't pay attention to Davis' offense.

With Davis's body, as long as he is slightly confronted by the side, he has to fall back and forth.

This is no exaggeration.

The roc also needs to wait for some time before it can soar in the sky. Davis at this time is too immature.

Li Xing waited for him to make a move.As long as he dared to make a move, Li Xing would cover him.

result.After Davis started, he made an unexpected move.

This amazing European step!

Li Xing did the same action at the opening.

At that time, Li Xing experienced Davis, which aroused his competitiveness.

Li Xing obviously didn't expect Davis to dare to make this move, and he couldn't respond in time. When the blocker passed by, his ball had already been shot.

Li Xing failed to defend the ball.

After Davis scored the European step, the moment he landed, his ankle twisted.

Pain came from the bottom of the foot, and Davis twitched his right foot and sat down.

Seeing him covering his right foot, Li Xing probably knew what happened.

He immediately observed it with his omniscient eyes, but found no serious problems, it should only be a minor injury.

"Played well."

Li Xing said to him.

Davis glanced in pain: "Learn from you."

"However, health is more important than anything else." Li Xing said, "I won't make such large-scale movements. I will give you a suggestion. When doing movements, you must control the range."

"I remember."

The more intense the pain in the ankle, the more vivid Davis' memory was.

This game is over, the confrontation between Li Xing and Davis is the only thing to watch.

Davis was injured and retired, and the game suddenly became a massacre without explosive points.

The Hornets were defeated and were abused by the Raptors at home for 32 points.
