Chapter 743 I'm too good
Donald Sterling recorded the goal to sweep the United States, and the NBA's playoffs are in full swing.
In the first round, eight series, five rounds of tiebreaks, and two rounds of competition to the sixth game, especially in the West. In terms of the competitiveness and intensity of the first round, there is no season that has exceeded that in history.
The four first round series in the West have played seven games in three groups. The Trail Blazers and Mosaics have played seven games if Damian Lillard had not won the final 0.6 second in puzzling.
The difficulty lies in the present, and teams with stronger strength often win.
The Toronto Raptors encountered in the 76ers in the semi-finals are not too threatening in terms of strength.
The reason why it has its popularity today is entirely due to the media.
Wei Xia's statement to the recording gate aroused the dissatisfaction of Dwayne Casey. The media took the opportunity to fan the flames. Before the game started, the competitive atmosphere between the two teams was expanded, and they wanted to fight.
Monday, May 5, 2014.
Praise Centre
Wei Xia tried the feel and found that the accuracy of the long shot tonight was average.
"Wish, don't show mercy." The only player in the Raptors who had a crush on Wei Xia was his old teammate Kyle Lowry.
If the Lakers gave up renewing their contract with Wei Xia back then was the direct reason for their fall to this point, then the loss of young players such as Lowry is the indirect reason.
The rookie contract expired, Lowry originally wanted to renew the contract with the Lakers, but they were unwilling to provide a big contract.
It is understandable that the Lakers' decision at that time, because Lowry did not show the potential of the All-Star at that time, and no one can tell the future development.
However, the fans will inevitably complain if two players who will become stars in the future are let go without paying any compensation.
Wei Xia looked back at Lowry and just smiled plainly at his words.
Show mercy? He can't show mercy if he says something to the media.
He is a broad-minded person and will not remember no matter how big his grudges are, unless the Lakers give up renewing his contract with him and look down on his development potential.
He usually resolves other ties on the court with textbook solutions.
So, he will resolve the misunderstandings between both sides in this game.
After warming up for a while, the starting players of both sides were ready to play.
The 76ers need no introduction, the Raptors' starting points are Lowry, Jonas Valanciunas, DeRozan, Terrence Ross and Amir Johnson.
Old fans of the Raptors will undoubtedly be unfamiliar with this lineup.
Starting in 2013, the Raptors began their reorganization journey. They are committed to clearing all traces left by the Sam Mitchell era.
Calderon and Banyani's departure was a landmark event.
After these two left the team, the Raptors made the last time they entered the playoffs, which was the old ministers of the Sam Mitchell era in 2008, all of them were finished.
The European routine of "Calderon pick-and-roll, shooters are around to move, and Boshbayani covers high" finally ended. From this perspective, Lowry replaced Calderon and squeezed out Italian cannons with Amir Johnson, Hansbruvalans, which was equivalent to announcing that the team's transformation had begun.
They will bid farewell to the elegant European system and create the routine that suits them best like rough northerners.
At the beginning, the 76ers jumped to the ball.
Cousins wanted to play Valanciunas alone. The Lithuanian was a standard European big white bear with a seven-foot body and Kong Wu was powerful.
It was rare that Cousins couldn't get in and had to use a turnover jump shot to end the offensive round.
Because he did not expect Valanciunas' hardness, he temporarily changed his offense method and did not hit the basket.
The Raptors immediately pushed up the counterattack speed.
DeRozan ran like a flying man and rushed to the frontcourt at full speed. The young man's athletic ability is surprising, but what is even more surprising is Wei Xia's vitality.
At the age of 30, he is not bad compared to DeRozan, who is only 25 years old. He followed DeRozan tightly, making the opponent dare not jump easily, so he had to pass the ball outside and keep up with Lowry and shot a three-pointer.
"Swish!"
3 to 0
"Demar, Wish won't commit a malicious foul on you. What are you afraid of? Deduct him!" Lowry was not satisfied with the three-pointer.
Wei Xia joked: "I will maliciously block him."
"Impossible Wish! Demar's elasticity is above you!"
This is really a new love. Although the 30-year-old Wei Xia's jumping power is no match for the time when she just inherited the physical fitness of Skywalker, if she drives her body with all her strength, a one-meter vertical jump is still very easy, and she can reach 115 cm and there is no pressure.
Over the years, except for Shannon Brown during the NCAA period, Wei Xia has never seen anyone with physical fitness that can beat him. Even Brown wins at the speed of his rebound, and his bounce at the height of his heroes is highly regarded.
Who else is the 123 cm running jump height?
76ers played comfortable transfer balls.
Rondo called Cousins to pick-and-roll, and he passed the ball.
Cousins learned from the lesson of the last round and did not dare to be reckless. He transferred the ball to Wei Xia at the top of the arc. The Raptors' defense had been mobilized by them. When Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand and shook the left, his body drove a breakthrough to the right. All DeRozan could do was look back, Ross, who was facing Hayward, was forced to leave the defensive position to assist in defense.
Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand and flicked it upwards, completely seducing Rose in front of him, and Hayward got the largest open space.
Wei Xia passed the ball behind the neck with one hand in the air, and Hayward received the ball and shot a three-pointer in the bottom corner.
3 to 3
"Why do you have to leave your defender?" Wei Xia suggested kindly, "Give your inside a little trust."
Ross immediately said to Valanciunas: "He is provoking!"
The Lithuanian nodded silently. No one is fool. Wei Xia's good at spreading trouble is considered famous.
Ross ran to the frontcourt and solemnly said to Wei Xia: "Don't mess with others anymore!"
"Sao Rui?" Wei Xia didn't know what he wanted to express.
"Just like the nonsense you said in front of the media, it's useless to us!" Ross ran actively.
He looks like another version of DeRozan. Once he finds a way to shoot a mid-range shot or attack the basket, he will grow into DeRozan II. His routine is the same as DeRozan: counterattack attacking the basket, cut in empty positions, and occasionally breaking through with the ball. He is a very underrated defender, and he follows his opponent diligently whether it is against the ball or without the ball.
Hearing the opponent's words, Wei Xia couldn't help but step up the defense intensity.
The Raptors want to give Ross the ball, and Wei Xia is famous for her defense. If she can open up the situation from this point of view, it will be an inspiration for the entire Raptors team.
They didn't expect that Rose's heads-up went bankrupt before it even started.
Wei Xia seemed to be left behind by him, but in fact she was like a shadow. To surpass him, she only looked at her own position or not. He did not surpass Ross' position, so that the Raptors believed that Ross had a chance.
When they pass the ball, Wei Xia will accelerate in an instant.
Havlicek's athletic ability, Skywalker's explosive power, combines the two, making him the player with the strongest acceleration ability in the league.
"Bang!"
"It's so broken Wish!"
The teammate shouted excitedly, "Ross pursued him relentlessly. Just looking at his physical talent, he is no worse than DeRozan. As long as he can catch up, he has the opportunity to chase the hat."
His thoughts were so beautiful, but he didn't expect them.
Why does he think he can do it?
Wei Xia asked him to chase him, and then, the moment before taking action, he suddenly stepped and made Ross hit him, but instead he held the elbow of his right hand and pushed him into Ross' chest, which not only hit the opponent, but also caused him to commit a foul, and borrowed power.
Ross stepped back with his chest that was painful, and Wei Xia jumped up almost vertically in place, with his forehead flushing at the basket.
BOOM sounded, 5 to 3.
Seeing Ross' angry and fearful face, Wei Xia asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"
"Stop pretending!" Ross flatly rejected Wei Xia's kindness.
However, Wei Xia had no good intentions: "Sao Rui made you misunderstand. I didn't care about you. I just wanted to know if you hurt. It hurts. That's right. Kobe was treating me back then. It turned out that a superstar appeared in his elbow. Now, although my elbow hit on you hurts, it also contains my expectations for you."
Wei Xia put the ball in Rose's hand and turned around and ran away.
Wei Xia's bad behavior shocked and angry Ross, saying that he would expect anything and Kobe were all fucking shit.
Seeing the young man's face full of hatred and anger, Wei Xia knew that he had not understood his kindness.
If Kobe had been asked to come, he would have elbows. How could he tell him so much?
Kobe's logic is that I elbow you to look down on you, don't be ungrateful.
Wei Xia thinks that his lower limit is higher than Kobe, and he is trying to inspire the next generation of "Wei Xia" like Kobe back then. It seems that Ross doesn't appreciate it at all.
Ross ran hard, just trying to get a glimmer of hope.
Wei Xia's defense is a lifeless Jedi for him. No matter how he runs, he will be accompanied by No. 1 of 76 people.
Only when the teammates' cover is coming will he have the chance to escape from Wei Xia.
However, when the cover appeared, Wei Xia's body flexibility exceeded his imagination. Valanciunas's cover was actually avoided by Wei Xia's change of direction while he was marching.
What's even more terrifying is that when he changes direction, he does not slow down.
He clearly has the ability to change direction and not slow down, but he never takes advantage of this advantage when attacking with the ball.
It shows how confident he is in his skills.
Terrence Ross performed an invalid running for 16 seconds. He ran two laps and returned to the starting point. Looking back, what came towards him was Wish's smile.
The Raptors were defended for 24 seconds.
The offense became like this, Dwyne Kevin couldn't stand it, and even if he was only 2 points away, he would have to be called a timeout.
With a beep, the game, which had only been two minutes into the game, was interrupted.
"Please tell your coach, it's not your fault." Wei Xia said consciously, "I have no intention of boasting, but my defense seems to be too good tonight."
Almost reached the average level of the DPOY season, how could Terrence Ross enjoy this intensity of defense? Derek Ross is still the same.
Chapter completed!
