Chapter 402 Unparalleled Impact(1/3)
"In the first quarter, Rachi Lee scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks."
"If you still think this is not spectacular enough, I ask you to think about what I'm talking about next, and he only played for seven minutes."
“In seven minutes, 13755.”
"His performance vividly proves how bad Miami's inside line is."
Several commentators at the King-level level praised Li Xing while not forgetting to despise the Heat's inside player.
"Rach is at the best stage of his career. Although he is only 22 years old, he is already mature enough, so it is a good opportunity to observe his offensive performance on the court. Based on the real plus-negative values, win contribution values and other indicators, he may have played the best offensive performance in his career this season."
Weber's final statement attracted opposition from others.
A very clear argument is that Li Xing is only 22 years old. It is too difficult to say that his peak is now.
When Li Xing left the field, the Raptors led by 8 points, which gave James the opportunity to fight back.
Li Xing is not here, and the Raptors' center is Whiteside.
His ability to protect the basket makes people drool, but he is not a stable basket protector.
If he can play at his average level, he is undoubtedly the best substitute center in the league.
Unfortunately, he is not, he cannot maintain stable performance for a long time.
Once Whiteside was distracted, his ability to protect the basket was about the same as that of Banyani.
Tonight, he is in a state of war between heaven and man.
When there is room in the interior, James is a terrifying double-threat player because he can make the right choice when his opponents are assisting in defense or hesitating, making them pay the price.
Over the past many years, his ability to read on the court and adapt to adapt has made him even more unpredictable, and defenders have to keep a close eye on him, and now he has evolved into one of the best mid-range pitchers in the league, which makes him even more difficult to deal with.
Pondsett can fight Anthony in the semi-finals, and he has no way to meet James.
The defense composed of Whiteside and Banyani is a disaster, and Snyder can't see any possibility or hope.
Banyani's fake fall against the air during a retreat made Snyder's patience reach its limit.
It was a false fall for no reason.
Shelwin Mark hit a jump shot, and Banyani returned to defend. He was the player with the lowest position, no teammates or opponents.
Maybe it was to show off his steps, maybe it was just tripped, maybe it was someone behind his illusion, imitating and confronting him, and finally got too deeply involved in the show and really fell. No matter what it was, his fake fall was puzzling.
While Banyani fell, the Heat's attack arrived.
Banyani just stood up and the Heat's offense was over.
Snyder's face was even more angry than the gambler who missed a hundred million, and he stopped the game: "Andrea, come down!"
Banyani dared not speak of him and sat silently on the bench.
Li Xing sat off the court for five minutes and made a comeback.
Evans is also the one who appeared with him.
At this time, the Raptors' lineup was Mark, Tony Allen, Pondsett, and Evans and Li Xing who had just appeared on the court.
It can be said that one and a half main force lead three and a half substitutes.
Because of the special nature of his opponent, Tony Allen was placed on the bench in this series, so he can only be considered half of the main force.
Except for Li Xing, the average score per game for the others on the court is less than 30 points.
Li Xing knew the burden very well, and he was ready in the first round of the field.
It was still Anthony, he had two fouls on him, and Li Xing felt that it was a little less, so...
"Beep!"
Li Xing deliberately gave up his skills and sought widespread physical contact. This is their home court, and the referee immediately blew the whistle.
Anthony spread his hands and expressed dissatisfaction.
He was already very restrained. If it was in Game1's state, he might have rushed up to confront the referee now.
"Don't you replace you?"
Li Xing looked sarcastic and expressed his admiration for Spoelstra's patience.
Anthony said coldly: "I want to beat you up, how can I replace me?"
When serving again, Li Xing still took the position at the low post, and James intends to get close.
When Li Xing launched an attack, James posted it up, and the encirclement formed by the two seemed to have blocked Li Xing's route.
"You're dead, Rachi Lee, what are you going to do this time?"
Anthony asked arrogantly.
Li Xing wanted to let him know, don’t just say that he is dead, he is dead, and the darkness of the willows and flowers are bright and the village is clear. Does Xiao know?
The double-team between Anthony and James is indeed strong and confrontational, and it is an extremely difficult double-team to deal with.
Li Xing has nothing else, he has a height.
On the basketball court, people who can shoot highly are bugs.
Li Xing held up the ball, and he concluded that the two of them would not dare to confront them too much and took action with confidence.
No matter how unwilling James and Anthony were, they could only look at the sky.
"Swish!"
Lee Xing's shot cracked their double-team, and turned Anthony's smaller into a ridiculous nonsense: "What did you say?"
"What did you say just now? I may not hear it clearly."
Li Xing deliberately put his hand next to his ear, wanting Anthony to repeat it.
Anthony's eyes seemed to be about to spit fire, and he glared at Li Xing angrily.
James noticed it and grabbed Anthony's hand: "Calm down, Joel."
Li Xing first smiled sarcastically, and three "Smile Smiles" were activated at the same time, and then he blew a sigh of relief at Anthony.
Anthony was furious, or James.
The little emperor complained. There were only a few people in the inside line, but the best one was a powder keg. It was just a lit point and it would explode when it was ignited. What should I do?
Do you really want him to play center?
Although James often reaches the fourth position in this system, he still focuses on the fourth position. If he really wants to fight against a pure center like Li Xing, it will be a dead end.
"You can play five positions" is a compliment and the best interpretation of omnipotence.
If you can fight, it does not mean you can be competent.
If the opponent's center is a short winter melon like Joel Anthony, it would be fine if James plays the center, but the 220-centimeter Rachi Lee standing opposite him!
Playing center? Five James is not enough.
James' value lies in his ubiquity, he has a variety of talents and can play any position on the court, and he still maintains incredibly efficient when facing high usage rates. He averages 28.5 points per game and can rank third in the league, while his average assists per game are also the first-class open level. Except for him, there are only no players who can get this data and make fewer than 3 turnovers.
Almighty is the eternal label on James. He is an epoch-making player, but there is a monster different from humans standing opposite him.
Now it's not just a game, he's going to fight against the monsters standing under the basket.
He needs to prove to Stern, who is increasingly leaning towards Li Xing, that he is more qualified to be a benchmark in the league.
Li Xing's defense area is terrifying. Once he goes all out on the defensive end, all five opponents can feel the pressure.
Barkley said astonished: "I played with Kareem Jabbar, David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Manut Pohl, and Mark Eaton. They are all terrible defenders, but none of them can affect the opponent's five people through the defense of the penalty area, like Rachi."
"You can see his movements. It's so scary. How could he be so flexible at such a height? He switched four people in three seconds, what a good defense this is!"
Li Xing's last defense target was Bathir.
As a member of the Royal Salute Corps, Bathir is James' most trusted shooter.
This round was so chaotic that James placed his tactics on him.
Bathir looked at the ball flying towards him, thinking about Li Xing's assisting defense speed.
At this speed, he cannot adjust and he has to take action if he catches the ball.
Li Xing's assisting defense was too fast and there was no room for relief.
Bathir is also used to it. He has played in the NBA for more than ten years and has dealt with countless problems.
The basketball came to his hand, and Li Xing's body sealed the basket position. Bathir could only rely on the muscle memory accumulated by millions of exercises to throw out a blind sniper at the 45-degree angle of the three-point line on the left.
He almost hit it.
It would be great if he could make an invoice.
Compared to letting him vote, Li Xing didn't want to see the next scene.
Evans stuck in Haslem, but lost to James' amazing explosive power.
Taking advantage of Li Xing's absence, James pulled up the rebound, used his athletic ability to beat Evans to grab the offensive rebound, and then passed it to the outside.
Mario Chanmos pulled up another three-pointer.
