Giannis Antetokounmpo, monster from Greece, monster who can play five positions, cornerstone of the Hornets team, Jordan's darling, favorite candidate for the heir to the throne, in the opener of the 2016-17 season In the halftime, he played a painful 13 of 4.
Originally, this data might be 13 out of 11, but he had 7 must-go goals that were blocked by Li Xing.
In the first half, Li Xing blocked him 7 caps.
The invincible Greek monster has never encountered such a humiliation. The other party said that he would cover him with 10, but he was rewarded with 7 at halftime.
Looking at it this way, the other party seems to be humble?
Li Xing's seventh block to the Greek monster made the opponent doubt his life.
He forced the Greek monster to the free throw line to execute the buzzer, but he jumped out, because he recognized the Greek monster as a bully and wanted to make trouble on him.
But the Greek monster had nothing to do, Li Xing rushed forward quickly, slapped his ball away from his hand, and ended the first half of the game.
At halftime, the Raptors led their opponents by 8 points.
Li Xing scored 11 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 blocks.
As if he had never left, this kind of explosive data that refreshed people's cognition belonged to Laqi Li.
He stands there, and no one can offend the restricted area he guards.
"If I say I cover you 10 times, I will definitely cover you 10 times."
Li Xing said lightly in front of the Greeks.
Then, the two sides retired, ready to return to the locker room to rest.
Jordan watched from the audience, accompanied by his lovely wife.
"Michael, would you like something to drink?"
Yvette is not a hard-core fan, but he knows that Jordan's sweetheart was brutalized by Li Xing, and he must be very upset now, so let's drink something to defeat the fire.
"I want an iced Coke."
Jordan said.
Yvette was about to leave, and Jordan also got up: "I will go with you, too."
Sure enough, I was so angry that I couldn't even sit still!
Yvette thought.
In fact, Jordan is not angry, he is worried.
The strength Li Xing showed was too terrifying. It didn't look like he hadn't played for two years.
Although the strength shown is not as terrible as before, it is still very strong, and the Greeks have no power to parry at all.
And he will never stop here, as long as he continues to train, he will be stronger.
Jordan doesn't know how to describe Li Xing's toughness. Compared with him, the Greeks are like a human being with extraordinary talents.
What worries him is not whether the Greeks will crumble and lose confidence.
What he worries about is, even if the Greek improves his shortcomings in the future, will he be able to fight against Raki Lee?
How strong is Lucky Lee?How far can the Greeks reach in the end?
Jordan hopes to win the championship as the boss, but with Li Xing around, it is difficult to realize this wish.
half time lounge
Snyder made another adjustment.
The starters in the second half were Li Xing, Zou Qi, Middleton, Brogdon and Dragic.
"Coach, why?"
asked Bargnani.
He and DeRozan performed well in the first half and should not have been replaced.
Snyder didn't explain, just saying, "Don't worry."
Bargnani trusted Snyder completely, and DeRozan didn't fight or grab it, so it was settled.
"Brother Li?"
Li Xing turned to him and said, "Don't think about the number of fouls, just play as you usually do, and play as you do later."
"But I have fouled four times." Zou Qi said.
"The more fouls you make, the more you can't relax the defense. Remember, you have to let the coach see that your defense can also play a role in NBA-level games."
Zou Qi nodded yes.
The insiders in the NBA, especially those second-round picks, must first do a good job of defense if they want to stand out.
The inside line that focuses on offense and despise defense, unless your offense is strong to a certain extent, you will be eliminated.
And Zou Qi is just a player who pays attention to defense. His most suitable position is center, but now he can't keep up with the confrontation, and his rebound protection is not good.
In fact, this is the type of player the Raptors lack the most.
Whether it is Bargnani or Gobert, they all have their own flaws.
Needless to say about Bargnani's defense, Gobert can start on any team, but in the Raptors he can only serve as Li Xing's substitute, and his offense and speed can't play a power forward, so it's embarrassing.
Not Zou Qi.
His speed can play a power forward, his range is also very long, and he even has the potential to develop a three-pointer.
His problem is confrontation, positioning and desire.
As soon as the second half came up, Zou Qi gave Lillard a defensive chasing cap, Li Xing took the rebound and sent it directly to Dragic, and the counterattack started.
In the stands, the defense stunned Jordan.
"Why do they keep picking guys like this?"
Jordan is really helpless. The worst thing they have now is the inside, and the Raptors are suppressing a Gobert off the court, and they have selected a similar player.
Jordan scratched his head and glanced at Li Xing.
Is it you again?
definitely!Definitely him!
Jordan has not asked Li Xing for help in the draft for several years, because they have completed the reconstruction, and from now on, the two teams are competitors in the same division.
How dare you ask your opponent for help?
But Zou Qi is really greedy!
He happens to have the ability to protect the basket that the Hornets lack most, and he is still a Chinese. Thinking of the vast Chinese market and the "China Jordan" company that is full of green grass, the old hooligan feels uncomfortable.
Dragic's counterattack came very quickly. Even if the Greek monster caught up later, he still relied on the opponent's body and made a layup.
"JO Cheese from China puts in a nice block!"
"The block also allowed the Slovenian to complete the counterattack!"
Zou Qi has completed two blocks in the short minutes of playing time.
Although some opponents don't understand him, and he is so strong that he sends shots, but the block rate is also amazing, no less than Gobert.
Li Xing believes that it won't be long before this kid fully adapts to the referee's standards, and he will play better.
"You haven't scored yet, have you?"
Li Xing's tone was devoid of any emotion. If someone hadn't told Zou Qi about this in advance, he would have thought that he had offended Brother Li.
"Yes." Zou Qi nodded.
"I'm going to bring the defense to me, you get ready."
After Li Xing finished speaking, he ran to the front field and was ready to implement his plan.
Zou Qi's problems on the offensive end are not many offensive skills, but the quality of the pick-and-roll is also not good.
He first blocked Dragic, and then played a swift dragon interspersed with Brogdon, but the effect was not good.
If Li Xing came to do it, the chances would have come up.
Dragic had no chance, so he could only hand the ball to Li Xing.
Muscala pressed Li Xing's back.
He had nothing to do with Li Xing's attack. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that the person in front of him was incomprehensible.
When playing against Muscala, Li Xing doesn't even need to make any moves. He can shoot when he gets the ball. If he doesn't score, he just picks melons on his head.
When Li Xing launched a back attack, Muscala saw some hope.
In this era of space supremacy, playing back means holding the ball for too long, and others can quickly shrink in to double-team.
Every perimeter has a pair of fast hands, and they can cut the ball quickly.
Therefore, unless you can really see six directions with your eyes, hear all directions with your ears, and have a pair of skillful hands, it is better to play this high-risk game like back playing.
When the double-team was formed, Li Xing fiddled with the ball with one hand. First, he swayed Muscala into the air, and then tricked Williams who was double-teaming. Finally, he got tired of playing and passed the ball to Zou Qi. .
At the free throw line, Zou Qi took the ball, looked at his feet, and shot.
This shot was a bit slower, and Lillard had already switched defenses, but his height and wingspan were there, so there was no way to interfere.
"Shh!"
"JO Cheese scored his first NBA point!"
Zou Qi waved his arms and praised Li Xing's pass.
Dragic ran over and said, "The shooting speed can be accelerated."
Zou Qi's English is not very good, but the translator told him that on the field, no matter what his teammates say to him, if he doesn't understand, "Yes" is over.
So he nodded and said yes.
One minute later, Zou Qi chased another cap, but missed the rebound.
The Greek monster rushed in front of him with a go and completed a top dunk.
In the first NBA game of his career, Zou Qi scored 3 blocks and 2 points, and was dunked on the head by his opponent.
Such experience is not insignificant.
He also picked up his fifth foul for it.
Snyder saw clearly: "Andrea, prepare to replace JO."
"okay!"
Bargnani clapped his hands and yelled: "Rookie, good job, the defense is not as good as mine, but it's really great for a rookie!"
Zou Qi still couldn't understand: "Yes!"
Bargnani's eyes lit up, he had seen too many rookies who were defiant, and this was the first person who had no objection to bragging in front of him.
Not bad, this kid is very good!
Seeing Bargnani chatting with Zou Qi at the billboard, Zou Qi kept nodding his head, Li Xing thought it was funny.
However, this ability to be kind to others and get along with others quickly is also the reason why many players can gain a foothold in the team.
Sometimes character can make up for what is lacking in ability.
Antetokounmpo scored an extra penalty, but he was not happy at all.
He just dunked the thinnest inside line in the league, which is no big deal to him, what matters is the guy next to him.
Can I block him?
Can I block him?
The Greek stared at Li Xing and asked himself.
After Bargnani came on the field, Li Xing covered him in a high position.
The Italian ran a few steps, received a pass from Dragic, made a feint, sent the man flying, took another step, stopped at the three-point line at the top of the arc, and shot.
"Have it!"
When the ball was scored, the teammates off the field stood up and threw a towel.
Because the ball gave the Raptors a double-digit lead.
