I'm king in the basket

Chapter 598 The Passing Peak

"The jump ball is still Lucky Lee's reigning moment!"

There is no need to repeat Li Xing's advantage in the jump ball, and Muscala's defeat is no surprise.

Dragic has the ball, but doesn't attack the goal directly.

The inside line is undoubtedly the weakest point of the Hornets.

Although Muscala has good combat power, he is more suitable as a substitute rather than a starter.

Li Xing first moved to Lika, and then asked for the ball.

"Look, Lucky Lee is coming!"

"Can he prove himself?"

Among all the doubts, Li Xing took Dragic's ball.

Looking at Li Xing's figure, Muscala felt something in his heart.

In terms of talent, he is absolutely no match, so what should we do?His brain turned for a while.

This is Li Xing's first game back, so his shooting must be unstable.

"Shoot, Luckey! I let you shoot!"

The opponent's provocation didn't affect Li Xing in the slightest. He pushed Muscala back at once, and then made a Yao Ming-style big hook outside the paint.

Straight into it.

This is the suppression of technology, and Muscala can't help it.

"It's Luckey's first shot since his comeback, and it looks and feels good."

"Yeah, he made us feel like he never left."

Then it was the Hornets' turn to attack.

Watching Antetokounmpo drive from the backcourt with the ball, and Middleton, who guards him, bends down and sees only his chest.

When it comes to positional warfare, Antetokounmpo doesn't have many ways to solve the problem.

But his range of motion was too great.

"So fast!"

Middleton stared, he had no time to react, the Greek passed by him, and then rushed forward with the ball.

Li Xing was not under the basket, and Bargnani stepped forward to block the eye.

Such self-death practices are not threatening to the Greek. His feet seem to be equipped with some kind of engine, and he jumps up suddenly, as if to overwhelm everything in front of him.

This scene was terrible, Bargnani looked so small and insignificant before him.

He completely destroyed Bargnani, there was no doubt about it.

“Cazoo！”

Bargnani yelled and cursed beside Li Xing.

Li Xing didn't know why he was angry: "Isn't this normal?"

"He defiled my body!" Bargnani was aggrieved.

Jordan was very excited; "That's it, Giannis! Destroy them!"

Li Xing could see Brother Antetokounmpo's attack clearly.

Just like the analysis done before the game, falling into a positional battle, his way of scoring is to tear through the defense and blast the penalty area through his terrifying talent.

Such a style of play would be a suicidal attack if replaced by a small man.

And he is different.

The height of the center and the agility of the defender allow him to take this seemingly difficult but actually the simplest attack against anyone.

This is indeed a terrible monster.

Li Xing came to the front court, and Muscala stood in front of him.

Although Li Xing has been away for two years, his teammates still trust him.

It is the Raptors' usual routine to let Li Xing start with three tricks.

First low, then high.

Li Xing also needs to prove that his skills are still as comprehensive as before.

Seeing Li Xing taking the ball, Muscala had other thoughts in his mind, and he didn't know if it was correct.

He wants to shoot!

Muscala has no basis, he just thinks so.

Suddenly, Li Xing picked up the ball and made a real shot.

The most frustrating thing is this, you know what he is going to do, but you can't stop him.

Muscala's reaction was too slow, he didn't think about reacting until the ball was already in the air.

"Shh!"

"Nani, leave the basket to me."

When returning to defense, Li Xing said this to Bargnani.

The Italian knows exactly what he is doing, and Li Xing will never let Antetokounmpo attack their penalty area continuously.

He wants to send the enemy back!
"The Greek has the ball again and looks like he wants to attack. How will Toronto respond?"

Jordan was not as calm as before, he saw Li Xing under the basket.

Calm down, Giannis, calm down.

Now is not the time to be impulsive.

Li Xing deliberately stayed near the paint area. He didn't hide. He didn't want to create a surprise attack on Brother Antetokounmpo. He just stood there for everyone to watch.

I'm right here, do you dare to come?
The fearless Greek does not accept any threats, and Li Xing's defense is a barrier that must be broken in his eyes.

He rushed in.

Middleton still can't stop him, but that's okay.

His opponent, the others standing nearby, all backed away.

The Greek's talent makes him confident in himself, he is not afraid of anyone.

His offense is as amazing as a fire.

Just after Li Xing approached, the Greek also jumped up.

His explosive power is stronger than Li Xing, 99% of insiders can only be reduced to the background in front of him, but Li Xing is different.

"Larch Lee capped the Greek monster!"

Many people have imagined this picture, but not many people have made it a reality.

When Li Xing blocked the Greek, the momentum on the scene suddenly reversed.

DeRozan ran at the forefront of the counterattack. He hasn't felt this way for a long time. As long as the opponent rushes in, he is ready to make a fast break.

Only Li Xing's defense could give him this kind of confidence.

The Greeks didn't expect Li Xing's defense to be so strong.

It's no wonder that during the two years of his rise, Li Xing didn't play a game.

Let alone him, the entire league has almost forgotten how terrifying Toronto's No. 44 is.

DeRozan counterattacked successfully, and the Greeks were furious.

His breakthrough is invincible in the world, but now he is blocked by someone?

He kicks off a head-turning gig.

He broke through Middleton in one step, layup in Europe to avoid the block, got blocked, DeRozan counterattacked and scored;

He changed direction and passed Middleton, made a throw in the paint area to avoid the block, got blocked, and Dragic counterattacked and scored;

When all his teammates were glaring and wanted to prevent him from counterattacking, he stopped the ball under the basket and made a few fake moves. Because Li Xing's smile was too annoying, he made a shot and was capped. The counterattack was unsuccessful. Lila couldn't bear it. Germany directly gave Dragic a foul.

The Hornets called a timeout.

The Slovenian held up his red and swollen arm and shouted: "Such a foul is just an ordinary foul? Is that referee discriminating against us Slovenians?"

"Why do you have to think it's discrimination? Maybe he just didn't see it clearly," Bargnani said.

"Didn't see clearly?"

Dragic's tone was even more aggrieved than that of Concubine Gao who was punished for copying scriptures: "My hand will be broken by him! I haven't seen it clearly yet? Does it mean that he can see it clearly only after I die here?"

"calm down"

The fans at the scene began to be less excited.

What were they thinking before the game started?

Lucky Lee is pretty cool, but our Greek monster isn't bad either!

Is there a second place for the 210 cm ball holder throughout the ages?We also have monsters!

As a result, 4 minutes have passed since the start of the game.

In addition to the domineering step by Middleton to dunk Bargnani at the beginning, the Greek was blocked four times by Li Xing.

Now the Raptors lead by 8 points, and the first quarter is only halfway through.

What rhythm is this?

Jordan also felt a headache. He didn't expect Antetokounmpo to be such a reckless man.

It's no wonder if you think about it carefully, who is his opponent?It was Lakey Lee who had been rested for two years, and Lakey Lee who had just come back.

Who wouldn't want to show off their abilities in front of this legendary star?result
Even if the Greek plays like this, the Hornets have no intention of replacing him.

His strength is unquestionable, and others need help.

At this time, Lillard's role was revealed.

In terms of immediate combat power, Lillard is undoubtedly higher than Antetokounmpo, but his status in the team is not that great.

The Greek is regarded as the cornerstone by the team, Lillard is just an assistant, and at this stage, his assistant is obviously better than the cornerstone.

Then, it is only natural for him to be the core for the next game.

Especially when the Greeks' breakthrough was frustrated, they really needed an outside explosive point, and then strengthened their defense, so as to give full play to the Greeks' greatest strength-the finishing ability of switching offenses.

For the Raptors, Snyder also has a question.

How far has Bargnani regressed?

Judging from the scene, his defense is as bad as before, but the offensive end is not as active as before.

These 5 minutes, Bargnani only got one rebound.

It is to let a college student play and grab a rebound within 5 minutes, not to mention 100%, but it is not difficult.

Bargnani's turnaround last season gave Snyder confidence in him, and now he's trying to come to terms with it.

The Italian can never return to the top, and his peak disappeared with his ACL tear.

"JO!"

Zou Qi, who was sitting at the end of the bench, heard Snyder's call, got up and walked.

"You replace Andrea!" Snyder said.

Seeing him in a daze, Li Xing pushed him: "Are you stupid? Take off your clothes!"

"oh oh."

Coming to the NBA, Zou Qi is ready to watch drama on the bench in his rookie season.

Few second-round picks can get a chance in their rookie season. He forgot that this is the Raptors, this is Li Xing's team, and this is a team that especially likes to train second-round picks.

Especially since he has the identity of a Chinese.

The Raptors, who are greedy for the Chinese market, naturally hope to develop him into a talent and make him a long-term plan for the team.

In this league without other Chinese players, if Zou Qi can become a talent and play for the Raptors for a long time, they can monopolize the Chinese market.

With Li Xing, who would never let him die, Zou Qi's fate has completely changed.

Getting him a foothold in the NBA is not only Li Xing's goal, but also the Raptors' plan.

Besides, he's not that bad.

"Brother Li, what should I do?" Zou Qi asked.

"Defend well, rebound well, get in position, and seize opportunities."

Of the four requirements, the easiest one for Zou Qi is the first one.

Be defensive.

Defense is the only skill he currently has above the NBA average.
