After Stephenson applied for a deal, the Raptors had to play three more games.

After the first game, the entire Raptors could feel at ease. Stephenson had no problems. He knew very well that if others wanted to attract him, he had to perform wonderfully first.

He still showed great energy and tried his best as soon as he came on the field.

For a time, there were many people asking Stephenson.

Stephenson's selling point is:

If the remaining half of the season is included, you can use 1.5 seasons directly.

That is, he has strong combat power. If it weren't for Dragic, he would be the starter of the Raptors.

There is still room for improvement, and this is only his third year, and he has shown the potential to play starters on most teams.

There were endless people asking for the price, but the chips provided were not satisfactory.

This is the management matter, and the season will continue.

Before the All-Star Weekend arrives, the Raptors are flying to the Great Western Conference to play their last match of the season with the Kings in Sacramento before the holidays will take place.

Most people will remember how amazing Evans did last time at the route center.

The Raptors have won 49 games so far, losing only 5 games, one of which is lost to the Kings.

Just as many teams would be mentioned for letting the Bulls lose a regular season game in 1996, the Kings would also be in this ranks.

Now, we meet again at home.

Evans is very motivated.

At Jacques Arena, Li Xing met Evans, and the king who was in full swing, stood in front of Li Xing with his little brother Cousins.

Let's not talk about Cousins ​​for now, Evans's progress has exceeded his imagination.

When Li Xing met him last time, he only had a rating of 90, but now it has risen to 91.

Evans is the savior the Kings are pursuing.

He comes from a decaying neighborhood in the city, where no one—regardless of talent—can be completely unaffected.

The sharp contrast in Evans's life is quite symbolic: his innate basketball skills and the sound of death gunshots from close contact. On the court, his explosive and fluent performance made his own game extremely easy, and he was therefore known as "Too  Easy".

But everything off the court was extremely difficult, before the day when he could receive his salary check from the NBA came.

Now everything is decided, Evans officially became the king leader of the post-Webber era.

"Rachi, I won't lose tonight. I will still score 30 points on your head. This is our home court!"

Cousins ​​said excitedly, as if this was something destined to happen.

Li Xing's expression remained unchanged, as if he was mocking Cousins: "Okay, I look forward to that moment."

Afterwards, both sides returned to their own half-time warm-up.

Nothing seems to have changed.

On the Raptors, they warmed up enthusiastically, with smiles on their faces, and sometimes they would have a fancy dunk.

Stephenson kept communicating with his teammates around him, as if he would stay with the team for a long time.

No one mentioned that matter, it was a tacit understanding between teammates.

The competition is about to begin.

Li Xing and his teammates played together.

"Terick, I'm a little nervous."

Evans never dreamed that Cousins ​​would say this to him, and this naughty child who was not afraid of heaven and earth was actually nervous.

Should I tell him I'm a little nervous too?

Evans tried to smile: "Perhaps you could try to buckle the blue on Ratch's head, just like Dwyne Wade hit Valaijo in the air, so you can unzip it."

NBA Survival Code 1: Any plan Evans said can be regarded as farting.

Cousins ​​didn't take Evans seriously at all, but the other party's words did relieve his pressure to a certain extent.

The referee's ball was thrown into the sky, and the game opened with everyone's cheers.

Li Xing took the ball away.

"Damn it!"

Cousins ​​roared unhappily, he wanted to bring the racket.

If he knew that Li Xing hadn't lost this season, he might be happier.

The victory over Li Xing in the jump ball was Cousins' first goal, and obviously, he failed.

Then there was Dragic's test, and Evans' defense was not relaxed at all. Just like those big defenders who like to bully short open spaces by relying on their tall figure, Evans is very good at using his figure.

He can always use his body to bully those guards who are far shorter than him and cry to mom.

His figure is his advantage, and his speed is Dragic's advantage.

The game has just begun, and Dragic does not need to use speed to fight Evans.

So he passed the ball to Li Xing.

In less than a second, Li Xing carried Cousins ​​and scored.

"DeMarcus' defense should be more focused."

"Yes, his defense is useless."

The commentator criticized him directly.

Cousins ​​didn't explain, he got used to it.

He had a quarrel with the coach, his argument with the trainer, his experience of being kicked out of training, his chance to graduate from six offenders, and complained to fans because of his overweight, sleepwalking on the court, and his very low-level rules. He was criticized by fans.

The above things are common to him. He has the talent to dominate both offense and defense, but he cannot maintain concentration for a long time.

"Terick, I'm going to beat that bastard, he's embarrassing me!" Cousins ​​muttered loudly.

"What are you going to do?"

Evans would like to come up with another foresighted plan.

But Evans didn't seem to appreciate it: "Just give me the ball directly, I'll show you how I beat him up."

Evans is very interested in how Li Xing prevents Cousins ​​from killing him.

He pretended to be "Oh, you're so great" on the surface, but he was thinking about something else.

The Kings basically have Kato Eagle-level hand jobs in the inside.

There is Divac in the distance and Cousins ​​in the nearest.

In this team, if you can't dribble like a defender, you can't pass a few juggle like a streetball player, you are not skilled and don't do technical moves that violate people's perception of big men, you are simply not worthy of playing inside the Kings.

Oh yes, about the Kings' inside line, one of the most important things to keep in mind for all inside lines: Don't defend! Whoever defends is the puppy!

The inside of the basketball team is definitely the type of player this team despises the most.

What should I do to defend? Just be handsome!

The same is true for Cousins, a naughty child. His rare comprehensive skills are that his subordinates have to beat the ball and have to invade Li Xing.

Li Xing came tonight with the determination to keep him safe.

As a result, the naughty child stopped at the cliff and suddenly stopped before being blocked, giving a straight arm throw that was difficult to block.

Hit directly.

This ball shows how delicate Cousins' skills are.

Even Evans, who was devoted to watching the show, would applaud Cousins. The ball was really beautiful.

“Rachie…”

Before Dragic could say anything, Li Xing sent the ball to his hands and used his actions to show his attitude: Don't force me, give me the ball!

Now that things have come to this point, nothing is meaningless

Li Xing's revenge drives him to completely suppress Cousins.

Cousins' defense perfectly pays tribute to all the seniors of the King. Although he has outstanding talents, his defense is worthy of the word air.

Li Xing took the ball, turned around, jumped up, and shot.

Cousins' defensive output is entirely yelling.

“Ahhhh~~~”

If someone has told him that this kind of defense can reduce the opponent's shooting rate, Li Xing can stop treating him as a fool for now.

"I'm in again!"

The commentator and the audience were very dissatisfied with Cousins' defense, and repeated complaints were not effective.

Cousins ​​is the kind of bastard who is the more you say he is, the less he is doing things well.
