Chapter 86: Knowing this earlier, why bother
Li Xing likes to defend against reckless men like Yian Masinmi the most.
Such people have never known how to write the word "death" and do not consider the consequences. Because they don't play for a long time, they have to use all their strength to get the ball before they stop.
The hat Li Xing gave him did not make him sober, but instead made him feel that "I haven't done enough and I need to work harder."
Li Xing stopped at the basket, and his terrifying height advantage made it difficult for Ginobili and Parker to go deeper.
Afterwards, Antonio McDyce took the ball at a high position and faced Reggie Evans' defense.
In McDace's opinion, Evans is no match for him at all.
As the No. 2 pick in the 1995th edition, what impressed McDace was not his 2010 seasons, but the "fight and retreat" battle with Garnett a few years ago.
McDace's heroic figure to beat Garnett is still praised because he has done things that many people want to do but dare not do.
It was also because of that incident that many people began to change their minds about Garnett.
Perhaps Garnett's so-called iron-blooded toughness is just based on a vicious appearance. He is not as terrible as we see. He may be a soft boy...
But, none of this matters, what McDyce has to do now is to break the deadlock.
Apart from Ginobili, he is actually the one who is most confident in scoring. Against Evans, his height advantage is very useful.
Evans was furious and looked at Li Xing: "Latch, do you think he shot like this?"
Li Xing spread his hands and didn't want to take this inexplicable blame. McDace was so far away from him, how should he guard against it?
At least let him get close to the basket, otherwise I can't help it.
"Latch, get closer! Get closer!" Jarret Jack shouted.
So, Li Xing encroached on Masinmi's position like an intruder, and put him in a more and more way. If the league had not banned double-teaming without a ball, Ginobili really wanted to do a favor.
It’s not that I don’t help you, I’m really helpless. You should be blessed by yourself. It’s best to be blown away by that monster, so that the poppo will send Tim.
Ginobili thought so, but he was still working hard to help defend himself all the time.
"George, if you can, help that fool," Ginobili shouted.
Hill nodded slightly, paying a little attention to the positioning battle between Li Xing and Ma Xinmi.
Li Xing's position is already at its deepest point, and if the referee doesn't swear to attack for three seconds, Ma Xinmi will be pushed out of bounds.
They are all making a living at the basket, and they always have to give this little face. If they force others to get too anxious, what should they do if they use dirty actions to waste people? Although Masinmi has no criminal record in this regard, who can guarantee that Bruce Bowen did not leave a mark on him when he retired? What if Bowen's mark was activated because he forced him too quickly? In that case, injury is only a trivial matter, and giving the Spurs a young Bowen is also a trivial matter.
Although it was quite nonsense, the more Li Xing thought about it, the more reasonable it made. So, he glared at Calderon several times.
Not passing the ball yet?
Are you sure you don't pass the ball?
Then I really want to push him out of bounds. Do you think about the consequences?
Li Xing wrongly accused Calderon. It was not that he did not pass the ball, but that he was afraid of Hill.
George Hill is too close to Li Xing. If the ball is not passed well, it will take a minute to get intercepted.
However, Li Xing had to take the position so hard that he would be uneasy if he didn't pass the ball out.
Calderon's parents once taught him a truth: "If the bread is too hard, just make the teeth sharper." (Try to solve the problem when encountering problems)
Since Hill was blocking the pass route, the ball passed the ball to a height that only Li Xing could receive.
Calderon excitedly praised himself as a genius, and then a slinging pass that was really touched by Li Xing.
When Li Xing got the ball, the players on both sides focused their attention. Ginobili's first reaction was to double-team.
Let Li Xing play Ma Xinmi alone? Stop kidding, this stupid and cute young man will be eaten by him without any bones!
Li Xing didn't give Ginobili a chance to double-team. His position was too deep - if he couldn't score this goal, he felt that he could retire.
Turning around, holding the ball upwards, Ma Xinmi didn't move - Li Xing praised his defensive habits in his heart. In fact, it was not that Ma Xinmi saw through Li Xing's fake moves, but that he was suppressed by Li Xing and could not jump up.
Li Xing had to push Ma Xinmi's body forward, raise the basketball with his right hand, and gently click it. The basketball flew softly from his hand to the upper edge of the rebound, rubbing it gently, as if a stone was thrown into the lake, and fell through the net with a "swish".
"hateful!"
Ma Xinmi roared angrily, feeling dissatisfied with the fact that he could not control Li Xing.
In fact, everyone can accept it.
"Ian, that..." Ginobili wanted to comfort him by saying "It's nothing to be able to prevent it, and we didn't expect you to protect him."
Masinmi took the lead and said: "Sorry, Manu, I disappointed you, I disappointed you all. Please believe me, this will only happen once, and similar things will not happen again. I will definitely guard against him!"
Ginobili looked at his sincere and serious face and suddenly felt like he was watching the absurd comedy of vulgar and childish shit and pee.
In fact, you don’t have to make such a serious promise, I won’t believe a word.
"Well, I believe you." Ginobili nodded heavily.
Hill was transporting the ball and said to Ginobili: "We want to create some opportunities for Ian, he needs confidence."
"You really think so?"
Ginobili remembered Masinmi just now.
That guy needs confidence? No, right? Why do I think he needs the exclusive skills of popo? The three-hour secret talk that is secretly rumored? This guy really needs to be enlightened, he is too inflated.
"Isn't it? He was first blocked, and then forced to beat him. If I were torn apart, I would have collapsed long ago. He needs more encouragement." Hill was serious.
Ginobili didn't want to tell the truth. He hoped that Masimi would always be so fragile in Hill's heart: "Okay, you do it, what do you need me to do?"
"You just need to stand still."
This requirement is really simple.
Ginobili really stood at the 45-degree three-point line on the left and did not move, and he also took the initiative to chat with DeRozan: "Demar, is there any fool in your team who has inexplicable confidence?"
Upon hearing this, DeRozan subconsciously glanced at Banyani off the court.
Banyani found DeRozan looking at him and waved happily: "Come on, DeMar, I will always support you!"
"snort!"
DeRozan will not forget what Ginobili did to him in the first quarter, and he now doesn't want to talk nonsense to this slightly bald Argentinian.
"Rookies should be open to people, right? You're too bored." Ginobili felt increasingly that these two potential rookies of the Raptors were weird.
But Hill was planning the offensive plan for Masinmi, and thought of a few tricks to choose the best choice.
This choice is very simple, called a pick-and-roll, pretend to break through and pass the ball to Masinmi.
If the tactic is done, even a pig can put the ball into the basket.
Hill is so confident, otherwise the Spurs would not have been used to replace Leonard alone.
This is the most proud thing in his entire career. However, there are still a few years before this happens.
When Li Xing saw Ma Xinmi running up to play the pick-and-roll, he followed.
Intuition told him that it was not that simple.
When Hill's first step to break through the inside, Li Xing knew that his goal was not to attack the basket, and he had other purposes.
With a glance at the corner of his eyes, Li Xing saw Ma Xinmi who was about to walk to the basket, and he understood the Spurs' tactics.
If the person who carried out this tactic was Duncan, Li Xing's defense had already failed, which would be a pity.
Hill thought he had transferred Li Xing out, and when Masinmi walked to the paint area, he passed the ball out.
Li Xing left him immediately and rushed into the penalty area.
Masinmi received the ball, started two steps, and was about to make a layup, a terrifying hand that seemed to come from the prehistoric world passed through his head, pressing his ball fiercely on the rebound.
"Ian Mashinmi must not understand this scene, he didn't know why Dante could catch up."
"Rach's defense is the best interpretation of talent. He can lose his position and he can lag behind the defender four or five meters, but he can come from behind. He has a height of 220 cm and a wingspan of 250 cm, and he still runs very fast."
"This is a monster!"
"Rookie, don't run so fast. Can you take care of the old guy's feelings?"
DeRozan is taking a fast attack, and Ginobiliz is chasing him desperately.
Li Xing grabbed the rebound and threw out a long pass again.
Ginobili wanted to destroy Li Xing's pass, and then tried to stop DeRozan with a foul, but now he is embarrassed.
He can't touch the pass, plan A fails; plan B cannot catch up with DeRozan, plan B cannot be used; so he can only be an audience.
DeRozan received the ball in the frontcourt and dunked with both hands, bringing the atmosphere in the center of the route to an extremely fanatical atmosphere.
"Dermaer~~~Der~~~Lo~~~ Like it!"
DeRozan, who had made a heavy hit, glanced at Ginobili with a proud look when running back.
Hill was already stunned. He didn't expect such a change to occur.
Ginobili gave him a look of "I knew it would be like this" and shouted to Popovich: "popo, if you don't change Tim, the game will be garbage time."
