Chapter 359: The demise of silence(1/2)
Li Xing's performance in the second quarter can be said to be expected, but Shelwin Mark's outbreak was an unexpected surprise.
Li Xing's initial idea was very simple: if he treated Mark as the second Stephenson, it would be like raising Stephenson to slowly raise Mark. As a result, this guy was better. Not only did he raise his state, he also added BUFF himself and scored 14 points in one go.
At the end of the first half, Barkley smiled and said, "Coach Quinn Snyder is facing a huge problem now. Should I continue to use Shelwin Mark in the second half?"
For Barkley, that's a problem.
For Snyder, who is as calm as a robot, this has never been a problem.
Even if Mark performed well, he could still be aware of the key to the problem.
In the same sentence, Mark is the standard Stephenson II.
The same characteristic of players like them is the nerve knife. It is unstoppable when it is exhausted, and unstoppable when it is nervous.
"Now let's play the game in a different intensity. Don't forget that you are the defending champions, but you did not show the momentum of defending champions in the first half. You even let the first-grade rookies help you equalize the score!"
Snyder said: "You should thank Sherwin and feel guilty for your performance. In the second half, I hope to see a completely different look!"
Snyder's instructions worked.
In the first attack in the second half, Banyani came up and hit Brand with his back.
"The first half was just a warm-up, you can wait and see!" Banyani said excitedly.
"warm up?"
snort!
Holiday was a ball of Amaterasu Black Flame that would not be extinguished without burning the target to ashes. Banyani's contempt touched his sensitive nerves.
His response was also straightforward, and he still needed to pick-and-roll, and he would shoot the ball after finding a gap.
The Raptors also responded in a targeted manner to his like to launch an offense through pick-and-roll.
Holiday is an offensive defender. In other words, his vision is not very good, which is why Li Xing dares to rush out to defend.
Li Xing raised his hands high, like Kunpeng covering the ladder, seriously affecting Holiday's attack.
In the face of such a defense, Holiday couldn't see the basket and shot according to his feelings.
"Bang!"
"Strike back!"
"hateful!"
Holiday glared at Li Xing angrily.
"That's it. That guy is nothing great. He can't get a point in front of Rachi!"
Delins is missing a sexy outfit and dancing wreaths from the full-time cheerleaders.
Greeny and she were very co-starring, and the two always liked to stand up and discuss the competition.
If Theron and Ingrid were not next to them, they would have let themselves go, and then the gossip media on the next day could take photos of their loss of composure and send them back to the imagination.
Every time it is the Raptors' turn to counterattack, the person who runs at the front line of the fast break must be DeRozan.
If this person is not DeRozan, it must be something wrong with the Raptors.
For example, DeRozan fell...
At this moment, no one could stop DeRozan from taking off, and he completed the counterattack with a dunk.
This is the norm for the Raptors, Li Xing blocks the shot and his teammates fight back.
In three years, this has become a routine that happens many times in every game.
Every team knows this routine, but they just can't be prevented, because Li Xing's blocking always comes very suddenly.
Holiday gritted his teeth. He didn't want to lose to Li Xing. He listened to the cheers and looked at the score that continued to open, and his heart was filled with indignation.
"you!"
Li Xing turned around, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you didn't prove yourself."
Li Xing said this coldly.
A sense of crisis emerged. Although there was still a long time before the end of the game, the score was still expanding.
The first half reversal was not accidental, the Raptors increased their intensity in the second half.
The 76ers must make changes. If they cannot stabilize and allow the Raptors to fight back so continuously, the game will lose suspense.
Calderon felt Holiday's determination. He really didn't know where this young defender got his fighting spirit.
If someone else was targeted by Li Xing, he would have stopped eating long ago. This guy is so good. What's going on when he fights more and more vigorously?
The biggest difference between the Raptors and the 76ers is that they lack the determination to die if they don’t win.
As the eighth team in the Eastern Conference, they put their position at a very low position. The Raptors are the overlord of the league. If they want to attack their opponents, they have to give up everything.
This is also a problem that Snyder has always been worried about.
The opponent is indeed not the kind of strong team that needs repeated defense. The problem is that they are playing in the playoffs. Once they enter the playoffs, their regular season record can only indicate who has a home advantage, and the chances are the same for both sides.
Snyder has never pointed out this question, and he hopes that the players will find the answer on the court.
Hawys went out again, and Li Xing went out with him.
Letting Li Xing go out means that the responsibility of guarding the basket fell on Banyani.
Holiday looks like he wants to play a pick-and-roll pass with Hawys.
Li Xing can only choose one.
He didn't know who to choose, and the burning fire in Holiday gave him the answer.
It would rather let Hawys drop an open three-pointer than give Holiday the chance to have a one-on-one challenge.
Li Xing saw Holiday's position and followed.
Sure enough, he guessed it right. This tactic is still dominated by Holiday. They tried their best to do so much, but in the end they were still seen through.
Holiday didn't know what was going on, but Li Xing seemed to be able to read his mind.
"How is it possible? How could he be?"
When Holiday took action, he saw Li Xing following behind him.
His shots were irreversible, and Li Xing's blocking was inevitable.
“bang!”
Li Xing's palm net caught the egg-like basketball, ending the 76ers' tactics again.
Then, we came to the favorite moment of the fans on the scene.
DeRozan received the pass, as if the track and field athletes who were sprinting a hundred meters had the basket on his finish line and he would never stop.
This is a performance moment belonging to DeRozan.
Evan Turner was powerless to stop him, and his starting time was too far behind.
"Look at this dunk, Demar dunked Toronto's ambitions!"
"This is their first playoff game of the season, and they're ready!"
"The defending champions are worthy of being the defending champions. Their performance in the first half once made people want to abandon them, but they quickly regained themselves in the second half. Such adjustment ability is not available to the 76ers."
Snyder breathed a sigh of relief too.
As long as the team can maintain this momentum, the 76ers will not have any chance.
I am afraid that these guys will be distracted again after being beaten halfway through, so that will be troublesome.
DeRozan's dunk brought the score difference between the two sides to double digits.
Back at halftime, the 76ers finally gave up Holiday who failed consecutive singles.
Their main target is the No. 1 pick in 1999.
Elton Brandi rarely received such a heavy responsibility, and his teammates' trust was regarded as glory.
Unfortunately, after changing defense, the person who is now defending Brand is not Banyani, but Li Xing, who he most reluctant to face.
"Even if it's you, don't try to stop me now. If I want to score, I will definitely be able to score!"
Li Xing increasingly felt that the 76ers team was all sick. Not to mention their strength, why did each of them brag about themselves as soon as they came up?
Is it true that you can’t play basketball if you don’t brag?
Elton gave himself so courage to hit Li Xing with his back.
He still has a few shadows at his peak, his methods are quite comprehensive, and all kinds of actions are used to make it happen. Time has taken away his physical fitness and made him lose the capital to compete with Li Xing.
If he is still at the peak, he can still fight with Li Xing at this moment.
Now, his athletic ability has disappeared, and skills alone cannot deal with Li Xing.
Li Xing is not a jumping man. He can't shake people with his eyes closed like this, but will only make its offensive conditions worse.
