Chapter 74 Beyond the All-Stars
The tide will rise and fall. After killing the Lakers twice, the Raptors' momentum reached the top and then met the Eastern Overlord Celtics.
The experienced Celtics taught the Raptors one thing: in the face of absolutely strong defense, your little tricks will dodge me!
Li Xing's defense was still very strong, and he had eight blocks that night, but the targeted deployment of the Celtics, especially using Garnett to play the center, constantly adjusting him outward, and the others desperately broke through the penalty area.
Due to the lack of defensive players, the Raptors' system collapsed as soon as Li Xing left the penalty area.
The Celtics ended the Raptors' winning streak, and other teams learned and worked well.
As long as the Raptors' game is basically a bloody battle, Li Xing's defense is very good, but he is not a person who can use offense to change the opponent's defense system, and his teammates' defense is too bad.
With him at the basket, the Raptors can maintain a very high defensive level. Once he is gone, it will naturally be revealed.
On the eve of the All-Star, the Raptors lost 39 games and lost 13, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.
Li Xing was selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star with averaging 19 points, 16 rebounds and 7 blocks per game.
Although many people claim that Li Xing is the number one center, unfortunately, his popularity is still not comparable to Howard.
Over the past month, Li Xing has triggered several more events. He occasionally asked Panoriano to get a trick on his hands or on a whim to get a skill, but he didn't get a good skill.
After accumulating this repeatedly, he now has twelve chances to draw skills and has saved 100,000 points.
He believes that if all these points are used to increase attributes, he can definitely increase the score to above 85 points.
He just wanted to find the right time, and the All-Star weekend was just right.
A few days of vacation is enough to adapt to the skyrocketing ability value, and at the same time, he can also draw several skills to cultivate his sentiment.
"Oh, if you don't have to play the All-Star Game, everything will be perfect."
Li Xing and Bosh were selected as the Eastern Conference All-Stars together, but he was not interested in this event because it was an exhibition match, without points, and no chance to trigger the event - everyone performed in a harmonious manner, who would have to find trouble to come up and slap people? - So, Li Xing was not interested in this match at all.
However, he had to participate.
This year's All-Star Weekend was held at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which is home to Pantoriano.
As soon as he arrived in Texas, Li Xing’s first thing he had to do was to say hello to the stars.
"Look at who is here?"
Now Li Xing is not the ignorant middle-aged man who just came here. He has experienced a big battle and met many stars, but he will not panic because he sees so many stars.
Anyway, I will be trampled under my feet sooner or later, hum!
Someone had such an abacus in his mind, but a smile appeared on his face: "Hello."
"I hope we can build friendships in these few days so that you won't be able to give me hot pot after the All-Star Weekend." James is the kind of person who can make people feel good about him as soon as they meet.
A smile is like a fire, a person is enthusiastic and very talkative.
Only then did Li Xing realize that they hadn't fought with the Knights: "My friends usually have eaten my hot pot."
"Then I will try to be the first friend who doesn't eat your hot pot." James smiled.
At this time, Wade walked out of the bathroom and saw Li Xing. He suddenly came up and strangled his neck: "lbj, that's this kid! I was half-dead last time!"
"Ahem...I was wrong!"
Li Xing couldn't understand why these guys were either familiar with each other, or were violent? Can they have some fresh and refined personality?
Howard was also there. Seeing Li Xing, he snorted: "You are my substitute this time, which means that the fans' eyes are still sharp. Do you know what this means? It means that I am still the leader of the Eastern Conference, if you can understand me."
"Understand, understand!"
Li Xing is the youngest person here and doesn’t want to show off. They say whatever they say.
At this time, a look of hang came: "Chris, you guys are good, it seems I need to suggest to the team that I will get him before the trade deadline."
The person who came was Rajon Rondo of the Celtics.
Li Xing remembered him not because they lost to the Celtics, but because of the blocks Rondo sent him.
In that game, the Celtics asked Garnett to keep pushing him out. If Rondo hadn't had a scheming shot, he would have to hit the basket, and he would have never had 8 blocks.
"I promise you that you just said you wanted to trade Ratch, and Brian would tell you angrily: "You want Ratch? Oh my god! You are not kidding me, are you? If you want Chris, you can discuss it. Ratch? Impossible!" Then hang up your phone angrily!" Bosh gestured vividly.
Why is he so exaggerated? Li Xing felt that he was very much like a smirk, and had no other function except laughing.
That night, James and others led Li Xing to the nightclub to wander around.
"I'm sorry, I'm not old enough to drink, so please." Li Xing changed the wine to juice.
James smiled and said, "You are too reserved, don't worry, no one will care about you even if you drink."
"It's better to be careful." Of course, Li Xing was not unable to drink, but he just didn't want to drink with them.
When I saw James, Bosh, Wade and others drinking happily and chatting, I always felt uncomfortable all over.
As a person who has traveled through time, even a pseudo-fan, he knows what will happen in the summer soon.
He really doesn't want Bosh to go to Miami.
If it was for the championship, he had no reason to go, because Li Xing could definitely lead the Raptors to compete for the championship; but would Bosh really believe him?
This arrogant bragging maniac is probably hard to believe that Li Xing can lead the Raptors to soar, even if the latter has shown amazing potential.
Afterwards, Joe Johnson brought a bunch of girls over.
Li Xing's expression was not changed and he was unmoved. The other people were just talking and laughing, and there was no intention of touching him.
We are all civilized people, and we only talk about the romantic things tonight, so we don’t do that.
After the delay, the girls took the tip and left with satisfaction.
"Latch, are you very enlightened?" James praised.
Bosh's eyes rolled out of the Milky Way. He was not only enlightened, he was simply too enlightened.
"Yes, the word "sex" is expressionless. I like you." Wade praised.
Bosh really wanted to invite these unknown gentlemen to the route center to watch a game, and then they knew what it meant to remain calm.
In every game, Li Xing was subjected to the hostile gaze of hundreds of men.
Some conspiracy theories even say: The reason why Li Xing was not selected as the Eastern Conference All-Star starter is because he offended too many male fans.
This led to these male fans maliciously retaliated against Li Xing and voted all the votes to Howard.
This is just a conspiracy theory, and the specificity is not verified.
"You are right to do this. You have to know that many poor people with low IQs are most looking forward to the All-Star Weekend. This is their Super Bowl. They just need to sell sex in front of us and stir up your desires. When they are doing that, they lie to you that she has taken sleeping pills, and then ask you to make a comeback in her body..." James, the old man, and Li Xing, brought up an anecdote about the All-Star: "This is their ultimate task, and it deserves to be as serious and serious as a surgical procedure."
Although Li Xing would not fall into this trap, it sounds quite interesting: "There is such a thing? Is there such a fool who is deceived?"
"Or why do you think Dwight has eight illegitimate children?" James said and looked around, sure Howard was not here.
Wade smoked a cigar and said lightly: "Actually, I'm very surprised. Why didn't he create more babies with those women?"
Li Xing suddenly felt that these words were full of deep meanings.
Many NBA players are not even able to drink when they first entered the league. They are still children and are spoiled and cared for until college.
Suddenly they entered society one day, with a lot of US dollars in their pockets, and then all kinds of beauties wanted to take off their pants.
Before getting the contract and when they were still studying, they were just potential rookies. They could attract women at that time, but their success was not a surefire. But after they started making money, there were a variety of beauties that could make passers-by drool and drool.
What these young people don’t understand is that once they enter society, sex is no longer pure sex. Sometimes, sex is a business.
Every ball is marked with a clear price, which Howards don’t understand. Conservatively, Howard has to pay 6-digit support for his child’s mother every year.
Thinking of this, Li Xing felt very moved. Fortunately, I am not a passionate young man who has just entered society.
Besides, I don’t need it either. There are a lot of people in the family waiting to hand over the public food...
Afterwards, Li Xing took the initiative to say goodbye, while Bosh stayed there.
Li Xing always felt that there was a wonderful connection between Bosh, Wade and James. Their relationship was really good, and it was the kind of relationship that could achieve each other.
No matter what!
Li Xing believed that with his personal charm, he would be able to convince Bosh to stay.
The next night
Li Xing led the first-grade students to beat the second-grade students.
He is the most special existence in this game, scoring 23 points, 25 rebounds and 13 blocks in the whole game, setting multiple records in one fell swoop.
These records are rewarded with points, which makes Li Xing very happy.
In addition to the rookie challenge, he also needs to prepare for tomorrow's All-Star Game, which is the highlight. He hopes to set a few records in the main game and not be in vain.
The All-Star Game is no better than the rookie challenge. It has a long history and it is not so easy to break a record.
Li Xing wanted to break the record, but the only record that could be broken is the blocking record.
In the first All-Star Competition in 1980, Jabbar gave six blocks in a single game. For Li Xing, who was as simple as drinking water, breaking this record is easy.
However, everyone is playing around in circles and play. Will Li Xing go up to cover this and that affect his senses?
Li Xing thought for a long time without any conspicuousness, and finally sighed.
I want to cover you, record, and destroy the atmosphere.
What?
