I'm king in the basket

Chapter 77 Knowing this earlier, why bother

Li Xing likes to guard against reckless men like Ian Mahinmi the most.

This kind of person never knows how to write dead words, and does not consider the consequences of doing things, because he doesn't have much playing time, and every time he takes the ball, he has to use all his strength to stop.

The hat Li Xing gave him didn't make him sober, but made him feel that "I haven't done enough, I need to work harder."

Li Xing stood under the basket, and his terrifying height advantage made it difficult for Ginobili and Parker to go deep.

After that, Antonio McDyess got the ball high and faced Reggie Evans' defense.

According to McDyess, Evans is not his opponent at all.

As the No. 95 pick in the 20 class, the most impressive thing about McDyess is not his 10+[-] seasons, but the "fight and retreat" with Garnett when he was in the Pistons a few years ago. "Battle.

McDyess' heroic demeanor of chasing Garnett has been praised to this day, because he did what many people wanted to do but dared not do.

Also because of that incident, many people began to change their views on Garnett.

Maybe Garnett's so-called iron-blooded toughness is only built under the vicious appearance, he is not as scary as we see, he may be a soft guy
However, it doesn't matter, what McDyess has to do now is to break the deadlock.

Apart from Ginobili, he is actually the one who is most sure of scoring. Against Evans, his height advantage is of great use.

Evans was furious, and looked at Li Xing: "Larch, do you just see him shooting like this?"

Li Xing spread his hands, not wanting to take this inexplicable scapegoat, McDyess is so far away from him, how can he guard against it?
You should at least let him get close to the basket, otherwise I can't help you.

"Lucky, come closer! Come closer!" Jarrett Jack yelled.

Thus, Li Xing invaded the position that belonged to Mahinmi like an intruder, and moved him further and further inside. If the league did not prohibit off-ball double-teaming, Ginobili really wanted to help.

It's not that I won't help you, there's really nothing you can do, you'd better be shattered by that monster, then Popo will send Tim up.

Ginobili thinks so, but his feet are still working hard for the defense all the time.

"George, help that fool if you can," Ginobili shouted.

Hill nodded slightly, paying attention to the battle between Li Xing and Maxinmi.

Li Xing's position is already at the deepest point, if the referee doesn't call the attack for three seconds, Ma Xinmi will be pushed out of bounds.

They all make a living under the basket, and they always have to give some face. What should they do if they push people into a hurry and use dirty tricks?Although Mahinmi has no criminal record in this regard, who can guarantee that Bruce Bowen will not leave his mark on him when he retires?What if Bowen's mark was activated because he was pushed too fast?In that case, the injury is just a trivial matter, and giving the Spurs a young Bowen is also a trivial matter,

Although it was quite nonsense, the more Li Xing thought about it, the more reasonable it became. No, he glared at Calderon several times.

Still pass the ball?

Are you sure you don't pass the ball?

Then I really want to push him out of bounds, you think about the consequences?
Li Xing wronged Calderon. It's not that he didn't pass the ball, but he was afraid of Hill.

George Hill was too close to Li Xing. If the pass was not good, it would be a matter of minutes if he was intercepted.

But Li Xing worked so hard to get the position, if he didn't pass the ball, he would feel uneasy.

Calderon's parents once taught him a truth: "If the bread is too hard, make the teeth sharper." (If you encounter problems, try to solve them)
Since Hill was in the way of the pass, the ball was passed to a height that only Li Xing could catch.

Calderon excitedly praised himself as a genius, and then spread a hanging biography that only Li Xing could touch.

When Li Xing took the ball, the players on both sides focused their attention. Ginobili's first reaction was to double-team.

Let Li Xing single-handedly fight Mahinmi?Don't be kidding, this stupid and cute young man will eat all the bones left by him!
Li Xing didn't give Ginobili a chance to double-team, his position was too deep - if he couldn't score this goal, he felt that he could retire.

Turning around, throwing the ball upwards, Maxinmi remained motionless—Li Xing praised his defensive habits in his heart. In fact, it wasn't that Maxinmi saw through Li Xing's fake moves, but that he was suppressed by Li Xing. I want to jump but I can't.

Li Xing had no choice but to force himself against Ma Xinmi's body, raised the basketball with his right hand, and with a light touch, the basketball flew up from his hand softly to the top of the backboard. With a light rub, it was like a stone thrown into a lake. "Shua" sounded through the net and fell.

"hateful!"

Ma Xinmi roared angrily, dissatisfied with the fact that he couldn't guard against Li Xing.

In fact, everyone can accept it.

"Ian, that..." Ginobili originally wanted to say something like "It's okay if you can't guard him, we didn't expect you to guard him" or something like that to comfort him.

Mahinmi was the first to say: "Sorry, Manu, I let you down, I let you all down, please believe me, this will only happen once, and similar things will never happen again , I will definitely guard against him!"

Looking at his sincere and serious face, Ginobili suddenly had the feeling of watching a vulgar and childish shit, shit, fart and absurd comedy.

In fact, you don't have to make such a solemn promise, I won't believe a word of it.

"Well, I believe you." Ginobili nodded emphatically.

Hill dribbled the ball and said to Ginobili: "We need to create some opportunities for Ian. He needs confidence."

"You really think so?"

Ginobili thought of Mahinmi just now.

That guy needs confidence?No, why do I feel that he needs Popo's exclusive knowledge, the three-hour secret talk?This guy really needs to be enlightened, he's so bloated.

"Isn't it? He was blocked first, and then he was beaten forcibly. I would have collapsed a long time ago. He needs more encouragement." Hill was serious.

Ginobili didn't want to tell the truth, he hoped that Mahinmi would always be so fragile in Hill's heart: "Okay, you can do it, what do you need me to do?"

"Just stand still."

This request is really simple.

Ginobili really stood still at the 45-degree three-point line on the left, and took the initiative to chat with DeRozan: "DeMar, is there any idiot in your team who has inflated self-confidence for no reason?"

Hearing this, DeRozan subconsciously glanced at Bargnani off the court.

Bargnani found that DeRozan was looking at him, and waved his hand happily: "Come on, DeMar, I will always support you!"

"Humph!"

DeRozan will not forget what Ginobili did to him in the first quarter, and he doesn't want to talk nonsense with this slightly bald Argentine now.

"A rookie should open up to people, shouldn't he? You're too boring." Ginobili felt more and more that the two potential rookies of the Raptors were weirdos.

But he said that Hill was planning an attack plan for Mahinmi, thought of several ways, and chose the best option from them.

The option is simple, call a pick-and-roll, fake a drive and pass the ball to Mahinmi.

If the tactics are played well, even a pig can put the ball in the basket.

Hill is so confident, otherwise he wouldn't be traded for Leonard by the Spurs later.

This is the thing he is most proud of in his entire career.It's still a few years before that happens, though.

When Li Xing saw Ma Xinmi take the initiative to run up to play the pick-and-roll, he also followed.

His intuition told him that it was not that simple.

At the first step of Hill's breakthrough to the inside, Li Xing knew that his goal was not to attack the basket, but he had another purpose.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Li Xing saw Ma Xinmi who was about to go to the basket, and he knew the Spurs' tactics by heart.

If Duncan was the one who implemented this tactic, Li Xing's defense would have failed, which is a pity.

Hill thought he had called Li Xing out, and when Mahinmi walked into the paint, he passed the ball out.

Li Xing immediately left him and rushed to the restricted area.

Mahinmi received the ball, took two steps, and was about to make a layup when a terrifying hand that seemed to come from the prehistoric past passed over his head and pressed his ball fiercely against the backboard.

"Ian Mahinmi certainly couldn't understand this scene, he didn't know why Dante could catch up."

"Lackey's defense is the best interpretation of talent, he can lose position, he can be four or five meters behind the defender, but he can come from behind, he has a height of 220 cm, a wingspan of 250 cm, and he can run very fast .”

"This is a monster!"

"Rookie, don't run so fast, can you take care of the old guy's feelings?"

DeRozan is on a fast break, and Ginobili is desperately chasing behind him.

Li Xing grabbed the rebound and threw a long pass again.

Ginobili originally wanted to destroy Li Xing's pass, and then tried to stop DeRozan with a foul, but now he is embarrassed.

If he can't touch the pass, plan A fails; if he can't catch up with DeRozan, plan B won't work; so he can only be a spectator.

DeRozan received the ball in the frontcourt and dunked with a big windmill with both hands, bringing the atmosphere in the center of the route to an extremely fanatical atmosphere.

"Demar~~~~de~~~luo~~~like!!"

DeRozan, who succeeded in the heavy dunk, glanced at Ginobili with great vigor as he ran back.

Hill was already dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a turn of events.

Ginobili gave him an "I knew it was going to be like this" look, and then yelled at Popovich: "Popo, if you don't bring Tim on, the game is going to be garbage time."

With a dark face, Popovich said to the teaching assistant beside him: "I swear, I really want to trade that damn bald ghost right now!"
