Reggie Evans sat on the bench and never thought he would be so close to the championship one day.

For a player like him, championships have always been something that is hopeful but out of reach.

It is difficult to find an NBA player who is more "silky" than Evans: he is hunched, vulgar, and he reveals vulgarity in every move and smile; he is rough in his skills and stiff in his movements, and he can't even do the most basic dribbling and shooting well; he is dirty and rushing around, and seems to be his old rival in basketball aesthetics in his past life; even on his only rebound that deserves pride, he is unable to squeeze into the list because of his low playing time.

Players like him are functionally single and cheap. Although it is not an indispensable task for the team, NBA always has his place.

So he received a salary that was a little more than the veteran's basic salary, and worked in the league for nearly ten years.

NBA history has never lacked such players who only rely on one skill to make a living, but most of them are just passing by. Few people can live in the league like Evans for ten years, because Evans is really doing it very well.

There is a "non-mainstream" statistics in the NBA. The simple explanation is that when a player is on the court, the number of rebounds he grabs accounts for the total number of rebounds he can compete for. Unlike the traditional total rebounds, the average rebound count even rebounds per 48 minutes, the rebound rate is irrelevant to your playing time, opponent's shooting percentage, and the offense and defense rhythm of the game. It can be said that this is the most realistic data that reflects rebounding ability.

In this data, Evans can rank second in NBA history, second only to the most famous rebounding king - Dennis Rodman.

This is the fundamental reason why he was able to gain a foothold in NBA.

But such strong rebounding ability cannot keep him in the same place, so he always changes the team until he came to Toronto and had a good relationship with Li Xing. He finally had a reason to not be traded. "He has a good relationship with Li Xing, and the management takes care of Li Xing's emotions and can only keep him."

"Reggie, what are you excited about?"

A recruit like Stephenson naturally couldn't understand Evans. He didn't know what was exciting about this. Although the championship was close, the game was not hard.

It can be said that the entire playoffs were relatively smooth.

There were some failures and some difficulties, but they all served them.

The trouble caused to them by the Heat and the Mavericks was not as big as they imagined. Two very important reasons are: James was lost when he played against the Heat; Nowitzki was defeated by Li Xingwan.

So Stephenson felt relaxed.

How could Evans just sigh at the finals? He knew that Stephenson would not understand, so he didn't say much.

"You guys like you will watch the game for me!" Evans looked fierce.

Barnes has the same feeling.

His NBA career began in 0 years, and it has been eight years since then.

But in these eight years, he changed eight teams.

On average, there is a change of team every year, and it can be said that it is a real "jersey collector".

There are few jerseys that change flags and flags as frequently as him, and he has no choice. This is not something he can control. All he can do is to work hard to adapt.

Now he is about to win the championship, and the feeling in his heart is very strong.

Triano is also the excited person.

After that tragic series last season, they were only a little bit away from the Celtics, and finally lost to Ray Allen's heart-wrenching three-pointer.

In summer, they lost Bosh, and everyone thought they were going to be finished, but they changed their posture and returned, which was better than before.

The best record in the team history ranked first in the regular season, revenges the Celtics in the playoffs, defeating the three Heats, who are in full swing, and playing against the Mavericks in the finals.

Victory is ahead.

What is even more exciting is that the person who led them to this point was Li Xing, who was only 21 years old.

He became the best player in the world at the age of 21 and is improving at an incredible speed.

Now that he is so powerful, Triano is sure that this is not his limit.

He will be stronger next season.

Li Xing looked at the score and time.

The Raptors are currently leading by 22 points, with minutes left, and his data is 20 points, 21 rebounds, 14 assists and 8 blocks.

It is only 2 blocks away from reaching the first four-double in the history of the finals.

Four-double in the finals. Since the detailed statistics have been established, no one has completed this great achievement.

Maybe Chamberlain and Russell did it half a century ago, but there was no detailed statistics at that time, so we had no way of knowing it.

The closest to getting a four-double in the finals were O'Neal and Duncan.

These two monsters from the beginning of this century won 282098 and 2120108 in the finals respectively. (Front Shark and Buddha)

This is unprecedented data, and if it is achieved, the reward will definitely be generous.

Li Xing decided to make it valuable even if it was garbage time.

In the next minute, he will fight for four pairs.

Nowitzki was on the court, and he was breathless and sweating like rain.

In order to prove his defense, he tried his best. Although the effect was average, he did try his best.

There is nothing on the basketball court that requires more talent than inside defense. A simple example: an inside line with a height of 210 cm and a 21 cm wingspan must be terrible.

Why? In this era where height and wingspan are increasingly valued, each team has elite physical conditions on the outside. They are not tall, but the terrifying arm span allows them to raise their hands to touch the same height as those inside lines with average physical conditions, not to mention their athletic ability is better.

Facing an opponent who is almost the same as you and has athletic ability that is better than you, how can you stop him in the air?

This is talent.

The outside defense can also rely on confrontation, skills, experience and even vicious fouls to prevent the opponent. In addition to single defense, the inside also needs to assist in defense, switch defense, rotation, and delay, all of which require talent.

A lack of talent can't be a good defender.

Nowitzki is a living example. His height and wingspan are average, his speed is not fast, his athletic ability is not good, and his physical fitness is even more mediocre. Putting aside his historical offensive ability, his weaknesses are very fatal.

But he is in an excellent team and is willing to make a series of transformations for his characteristics.

Over the years, the Mavericks have covered up Nowitzki's defense well.

But on the stage of the finals, facing opponents like Li Xing, his defensive flaws seem even more serious.

Nowitzki was still unwilling to surrender, even if there was not much time left, and even if they had no hope, he didn't want to stop.

He knows better than anyone else.

They have no chance, but the game is not over yet.

More than ten seconds later, Li Xing received his ninth blockade, and the victim was Nowitzki.

"Beautiful defense, Rachi is only one block away from getting a four-double. Let's wait for that moment to arrive!"

Angus said excitedly.

Li Xing ran to the frontcourt and did not plan to attack, so his teammates had the same idea.

At this point, there is no need to beat the dog in the water.

Their lead was enough to guarantee the final victory, so they played the pass game on the outside.

The ball was thrown around everyone's hands until the last second, Banyani made a buzzer-beating three-pointer.

The terrifying violent state made him shoot a wonderful arc in this situation, and the ball flew to the sky and aimed at the basket and fell directly.

45 points.

Banyani scored the highest score for tonight, and the highest score for a single game among all players in this series.

His performance deserves the title of "Rapgers' Chief Musketeer".

"Rapgers fans, you can celebrate in two minutes!"

Angus has forgotten his position as a commentator, and he is now saying this completely as an avid Raptors fan.

His Stodmeier smiled and called by the side haha.

At this time, the Mavericks' offense was very rapid, passing the ball back and forth, and even if they die, they would narrow the gap.

Even if there is no hope of victory, the score difference cannot be frozen in this number.

According to common sense, the Raptors should give a few balls to give the opponent some face, but what can Li Xing do? He also wants the Mavericks to die while standing, but he hasn't scored four pairs yet, so, sorry!

Jason Terry thought this would be an easy offense, but when he hit the basket, Li Xing didn't follow the rules and came up to give him a blood cap and successfully got a four-double.

"Congratulations on completing the milestone: a four-double in the finals."

"good!"

Li Xing nodded secretly, Terry quit.

He glared at Li Xing: "What the hell do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting." Li Xing looked elsewhere.

The two sides could have finished the game peacefully, but Li Xing's blocking intensified the conflict.

The Mavericks served again, and they stopped going into the basket, and Terry drifted and made a three-pointer from the outside.

Li Xing could not interfere, nor did he want to interfere.

He has accomplished his goal, and even if Terry breaks in, he will not be able to defend. Unfortunately, the other party doesn't believe him.

This three-pointer still scored, and the difference returned to 22 points.

The Raptors continued to play the pass game. What's funny is that they looked like "Oh, this defense is so tight, pass the ball quickly", but everyone in the Mavericks were indifferent.

They have given up on this game.
To be continued...
