Four games later, the Hawks defeated Atlanta and officially said goodbye to the 2013-2014 season.

They had no chance and were not favored from beginning to end.

Until the last moment of the series, the Atlantas saw no hope of winning.

The light of victory surrounds the Torontos, facing Atlanta, they avoid them as if they saw a plague.

"it's over."

There was no anger in Horford's eyes, only a hint of depression.

Li Xing stretched out his hand: "You guys are fighting well."

"It's really helpful to hear you say that." Horford said self-deprecatingly, then grabbed Li Xing's hand and exerted a little force. This was his last struggle.

The Raptors advanced to the second round with their heads held high.

Their semi-final opponent will be born among the Bulls and Nets.

The Raptors easily swept the Hawks out of the playoffs, while their semi-final opponents tied in the first four games.

"Nets or Bulls?"

This question was put before Li Xing.

"This question is very interesting, it's like two dishes are placed in front of me, and you ask me which dish I want to eat more."

Li Xing's frivolous words angered the Chicago and Brooklyn reporters present.

The anger on their faces rose rapidly like an anger bar in a cartoon, and was about to explode.

"I might choose Chicago, why? Because their inside line is tougher, I don't want to play against a group of kite men, that would be very hard."

"So you think Brooklyn's inside line is more difficult?"

Li Xing held his face with one hand and said disdainfully: "It's more difficult? This word is not very accurate. I mean Chicago's inside line is tougher, and they won't fly kites outside."

"You want to say Carlos Boozer is tough?"

"I usually don't play against Carlos. Whether he is tough or not has nothing to do with me. I only know that Jokin Noah is tougher than Brooke Lopez."

Li Xing's words were not only told to reporters, but also to the Nets and the Bulls who were fighting.

These words will inevitably make their competition more intense, which is beneficial or harmful to the Raptors.

Just beat me hard, it's better to kill a few people, so I'll be relaxed.

Li Xing was very happy. To be fair, neither of these two teams could threaten the Raptors. Even if they were all injured, the result of the Raptors was to be struck out like the Hawks.

Li Xing just wants to witness the battle between the two teams as an audience.

In the fifth game, the Bulls took the lead and knocked the Nets down and got the match point.

In the sixth game, the Nets fought back, and the city that was lucky enough to be won by God, and both sides dragged to the seventh game.

The Raptors were waiting for the game in Toronto, and seemed a little bored.

"Rachy, did you know they'll reach the seventh game?" asked Patton.

Li Xing has not forgiven Patton so far, and this guy dares to plot against him.

Hearing him say this, Li Xing's answer was: "No, I'm not a god, how could I know about this?"

"Then why did you provoke a dispute between the two teams?"

"They were competitors and I didn't need to provoke their dispute."

Patton had no problem, and others came to ask again.

All of them were boring questions, and Li Xing refused to answer them.

"Rachy, who do you think will win the seventh game?"

Li Xing grabbed the ball and said, "I still support Chicago."

So the Bulls won Game 7 of the series and eliminated the Nets.

The Chicagoans wanted to win the championship, but the biggest threat they were full of hope was not the Toronto Raptors, but two other aspects that were rarely discussed: Derek Rose's knee ligaments and the boss's wallet.

Although Ross was possessed by the disease and was rarely healthy and unable to reach the expected peak, the Bulls are still a strong army in the East.

The boss's wallet is also a key factor that hinders Chicago's reaching the top.

This is a team that once regretted it because it paid 30 million to the God of Basketball.

After entering the new century, the Bulls have never paid luxury tax, and it is obvious that they have no intention of doing it; the result is that they refuse to match the two contracts of the main players, and they also release or release the three substitutes who made great contributions to the team last season.

By defeating the Nets, they officially came to the goal of the semi-finals and faced the Raptors who had been waiting for them for a long time.

The unstoppable Toronto Raptors were unanimously favored by the outside world, and the Bulls came to Canada with a one-sided voice.

Still no Rose.

"Where is Rose's comeback?" is the most lively scene of the season.

Rose's return date is pending.

No one knows when—he may not know—but he still struggles to recover from the catastrophic knee injury last summer. He trains with the team and goes away together. The small news from various sources is exciting. Almost everyone thinks that Rose will come back at some point before the playoffs begin.

Rose did not make a comeback until the first game of the semi-finals between the Raptors and the Bulls.

When Li Xing saw Noah, he walked to the wild and enthusiastic Frenchman and said, "It seems that you are ready to lose."

"Shut up, Rachi, we came to win!"

Noah's game style is as wild as his hairstyle.

In the jumping ball, as long as Li Xing doesn’t let go, there is basically only one result.

Even those who hate Li Xing admit that no one can defeat Li Xing in the jumping ball.

The jump ball at the opening game tonight was the same.

Li Xing jumped up and rapped the racket to Dragic's hand.

The Raptors' offense was very impactful at the beginning, and Middleton's running position was extremely clever, almost knocking Lol Deng away.

Even if it is not too big or too small, he can shoot.

Middleton took the ball from the outside and fired at the basket.

The ballistics deviated, the ball bounced out of the basket, Li Xing got the rebound and scored with Noah's defense.

Classic Raptors offense.

Li Xing's rebounding ability is so strong that his teammates can do the same as the legendary Moses Malone - "Look, Moseska has arrived at the position, let's shoot a ball and let him grab the rebound!" - Data shows that even the Prophet Malone, the king of offensive rebounding, is not as good as Li Xing on offensive rebounding.

This season, Li Xing averaged 8 offensive rebounds per game, the first in history.

Moreover, among the ten best offensive rebounds in history, he has the least playing time.

If his playing time is converted to 40 minutes, the data will be infinitely close to 11.

Grab 11 offensive rebounds in one game? It can be regarded as a representative work of his career for any inside player, and for Li Xing, this is just a good game for him.

To him, shocking data such as double-point offensive rebounds, double-point blocks, four-double-point attacks are just clouds.

As long as he wants, he can flash better data.

But he doesn't like to satisfy the expectations of the outside world, and he is not concerned about data.

It is precisely because of his humility that the Raptors achieved such a record.

"Rachy's offensive rebound is too strong, Jokin Noah is like a little doll in front of him!" Angus shouted.

Stoudemire said lightly: "Rach's prediction of offensive rebounds is like the magnet attracting iron."

"Don't panic, keep calm!"

Cork Hinrich raised his hand and let his teammates run step by step.

After the former son of Fengcheng was abandoned, he returned again because of the team's needs and carried the team on his back.

Such stories have appeared many times.

Fisher left the Lakers and went back; Big Ben left the Pistons and went back; Lee Xing left the Bulls and came back; that's what Hinrich is now.

When he was selected by the Bulls, he was trained as the future Bulls captain; year by year, he and the Bulls ushered in a seven-year itch, and Ross was so outstanding that the Bulls could send him away with confidence; and now, Ross is about to rest for more than half a season, and the Bulls need a defender: he is familiar with Chicago, can defend and command - so he put on the Bulls jersey again.

No matter how long it takes, the mark of Wind City on Hinrich will not be erased.

Dragic's defense covered him hard.

Compared to the confrontation, Sinrich was not afraid at all. As soon as he debuted, he was known as the Iron Guard, and his favorite thing was to fight against his opponents.

In the midst of a strong confrontation, Hinrich found space to pass the ball.

Noah got the ball and yelled. Everyone thought he was going to attack, and only his teammates knew what the roar meant.

His roar activates other moves, and Li Xing is also deceived by him.

Behind them, Lor Deng got rid of Middleton, and like the hyena behind him suddenly cut into the penalty area. The wild Frenchman gave a beautiful blow to the British.

Jordan from the UK shouted loudly and leaned against Li Xing's body to score.
