After halftime, the Raptors overtook the Lakers by 1 point.

Li Xing's performance is crucial. His performance in the second quarter is like the possession of the God of Basketball, with offense, defense, and high-level support all available.

He scored 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks in a single quarter.

"Kate, where do you usually live?" McPhee pretended to ask casually.

Delins was not wary and replied: "Lincoln Apartment, but Rachi is preparing to change the place because we have four people, so..."

"Is that so? Where do you want to change? Is the housing prices in Toronto expensive? Will his salary be insufficient?" McPhee's sudden concern made Delins alert.

Delins's big eyes glanced at McPhee, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Kate, is there something on my face?" McPhee felt uncomfortable being stared.

Delins whispered, "Catherine, you are a married woman." "Yes...what is wrong?" McPhee pretended not to understand.

"Oh, I thought you were just a stupid fat woman. I really didn't expect you to be such a stupid fat woman!" Ingrid couldn't help it: "Who led the wolf to his home!"

Delins snorted angrily: "It's not what you think!"

"Is that?" Ingrid asked sourly: "Catherine, is that?"

"That's the case? What?"

Pantoriano was very friendly: "Okay, there's still some time before the game begins, let's go buy something to eat."

"Okay, I don't want to sit with this fat woman with shit anymore." Ingrid grabbed Panoriano's hand and stood up and left.

Delins pulled McPhee: "Catherine, let's go buy something to eat, too."

Halftime lounge

Triano circled a few positions with a tactical pen: "Guys, although we were one point ahead of the defending champion in half, and even though we beat them at their home court a while ago, I don't think we're above them because your defense isn't good at all."

After saying that, everyone looked at Li Xing together.

Li Xing stared at his eyes and spread his hands, "What do you think I'm doing?"

Yes, what do you think of him?

However, the team's poor defense is because there is something wrong with Li Xing, which is basically a consensus, so of course it depends on him.

"Don't look at Ratch, it has nothing to do with him," Triano said. "Ratch is the best player in the league to limit the opponent's basket shooting percentage, and he is the best defensive player this season."

After Triano finished speaking, he gave Li Xingfei a look of praise.

Li Xing accepted it with a smile, and then continued to listen.

"Tonight, Ratch's defense at the basket is still dominant, and 7 blocks in the halftime are proof of it. However, others have done too poorly against the Lakers' shooting defense, especially the off-ball defense!"

Triano suddenly threw away the tactical pen in his hand: "Who told me how did you get Kobe to score 30 points in the first half? Where is our defense?"

"Is it air?"

DeRozan lowered his head in shame.

Triano looked at the others: "You should be grateful for having young people like Rachi and Demar. Demar did not defend Kobe, but defending Kobe has never been a matter of one person. When his defense is broken by Kobe, what about the second defender? I said before the game that you should give Demar the greatest help, instead of standing by and watching, you can't expect Rachi to fly to Kobe in front of him every round!"

"Demar is working very hard, but he can't defend Kobe."

"Rach's defense is excellent, but he can't defend everyone."

The lounge was extremely quiet, with Triano alone's voice.

“Sometimes, we can rely on others, and sometimes we can’t.”

Triano said seriously: "You should be glad that we have Rachi, because Rachi, Kobe dared not attack the basket, otherwise he would have scored 50 points now!"

"But I need you to work harder. Now Kobe can only rely on shooting, and the only thing you have to do is to defend his shooting!"

"I still say the same thing. If Kobe scored more than 40 points tonight, you can commit suicide on the court, hit the wall, or cross the wall, just don't come back to see me!"

This is the first time Triano has gotten such a big fire.

"This is the first time I've been scolded so badly..." Bosh covered his face and said, "It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing."

Calderon said: "It means that the coach has high expectations for us and we shouldn't let Kobe get so many points."

"Yes, I have to defend well. I don't want to witness another 81 points." Bosh said seriously with a correct attitude.

Li Xing was very pleased to hear them say this. These guys finally had some ambitions. If it were at the beginning of the season, they would definitely have a salty fish mentality again. Maybe they would say something, "Bryant scored, let him score. He has scored 81 points on us. Is this still a shortage?"

Some changes are true.

Winning can indeed change a lot of things.

"Latch, come on!"

Before going on stage, Olina patted Li Xing on the head.

"I hope this can bring me good luck." Li Xing rubbed the circle and wiped it, giving Olina a playful eye.

Orinna was stunned.

The person in front of me is completely different from the person in college.

But, it is clearly the same person, why did it become like this?

Could it be that crushing defeat that changed Rachi's temperament? Olinna has heard similar stories.

However, that crushing defeat itself was weird.

The sluggishness without any warning was eventually defeated by Taylor Hansblu, who was originally stable and fell to the sixth pick because of that game.

Now the general managers of the teams who hold the top five picks may be squatting while watching the Raptors' game while cursing.

The Lakers replaced the three highs, and through the second quarter, their three highs did not achieve the ideal results.

This is normal.

Except for Banyani, the Raptors' three highs, which are a bit nonsense to play as a small forward, Li Xing and Bosh are both real sports inside players and can run with the outside.

Although Banyani's speed is slower than that of a small forward, it is also very light when placed inside.

On the Lakers, Bynum is not fast at this point and cannot beat Li Xing alone, but is simply exposed.

The Zen master could only switch back to the original deployment and let Artest play. The inside line was still partnered by Bynum and Gasol.

Seeing Li Xing's performance, the Zen master was very envious.

If I had known this guy was so powerful, I would have suggested that the team exchange Paul Gasol for a high draft pick. If he could partner with Kobe, that would be really...

What a pity!

In the first offense in the second half, the Lakers wanted Kobe to get a good start.

As a result, Kobe didn't even touch the ball.

The Raptors, who were defending like air in the first half, didn’t know what medicine they had been given in the second half, and they chased and intercepted Kobe in the entire half.

This reckless defense freezes Kobe.

Fisher watched for a long time and shot a three-pointer.

"Swish!"

After hitting the game, the Lakers took the lead.

This is the price that must be paid to defend Kobe.

Apart from Li Xing, the Raptors have no defensive vanguard who can be called a powerful player, which means that no one can really compete with Kobe.

To stop Kobe from his devastating offensive, he had to use the human sea tactics to attack and siege and block.

The consequence of doing so is to give other Lakers players the opportunity.

"It's okay!" Bosh shouted: "I was defending well just now, continue!"

DeRozan breathed hard, not only did he benefit from playing against Kobe, but at least he opened his eyes.

He can get close to how the strongest people dominate the game, which will be of great help to his growth.

Kobe's accurate and deadly mid-range shooting made DeRozan fascinated, and he was determined to become a killer like Kobe.

"Demar, you can't be beaten passively, and Sabrinna doesn't want to see you like this." Li Xing wanted to arouse DeRozan's fighting spirit and tell him not to be beaten like now and not fight back.

After playing for so long, Li Xing is very sure that defending his opponent is not only based on defense, but also on defense.

Offense is the best defense is a fallacy. The correct statement should be that offense is part of defense.

The stronger the attack, the more strength the opponent has to put in the defensive end. After both sides consume it, it will be difficult for him to attack.

This is the best defense effect.

Unfortunately, DeRozan's fighting spirit was defeated by Kobe.

"Do you think I can?" DeRozan had no confidence.

Li Xing still had no expression on his face. DeRozan really didn't know which one was the real one on the court or Li Xing off the court.

"If I think you can't, I'd never tell you that."

Li Xing looked at DeRozan's eyes and said, "I believe in you 100% DeMar."
