I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 287
November 11, Cleveland, Gund Stadium.

Tonight, the Raptors will travel to the Cavaliers led by LeBron James.

After the warm-up, Gund Gymnasium is already full of people.

Before the start of the game, James came to the technical stage and made a domineering action of sprinkling magnesium powder, which caused the fans to scream again and again.

Li Xuan was amazed after watching it, thinking whether he should customize a domineering appearance action.

Not long after, the referee blew his whistle to signal the starting players of both sides to come to the middle circle to prepare for a jump ball.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Jeff McGinnis, Ira Newbell, James, Drew Gooden, Ilgauskas.

Raptors starting lineup: Delk, Jaylen Rose, Li Xuan, Bosh, Chandler.

In the jump ball session, Chandler took off vigorously and touched the basketball first, giving the Raptors the first chance to attack.

Delk dribbled the ball across half court, handed it to Li Xuan immediately, and ran towards the bottom corner.

Li Xuan received the pass, beckoned, made tactical gestures, and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

Chandler sprints up to do the pick-and-roll.

With the help of a screen, Li Xuan got rid of James' defense and broke into the three-point line.

After Big Z's serious injury, his athletic ability dropped significantly, and he couldn't keep up with Li Xuan's speed at all, and was passed by in one step.

Li Xuan broke through the penalty area, soared into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket.

2: 0!

The ball is switched and the Cavaliers attack.

After James cooperated with the big Z pick-and-roll, he quickly started to break through the penalty area.

Li Xuan circled the screen ahead of time and stood in front of James again.

James didn't stop, and continued to hit the basket, forcing a layup, but failed to score under Li Xuan's interference.

Li Xuan grabbed the rebound, turned around and advanced quickly, launching a defensive counterattack.

Rose, who was on a fast break, received the pass, and Pingchuan rushed to the basket and scored an easy layup.

4: 0!

Looking back, Big Z hit Chandler in the low post and missed a jumper.

Bosh grabbed the rebound and immediately found Li Xuan and passed it.

Li Xuan sped up again after receiving the ball, dribbled the ball from behind and swayed the delaying Newbell, dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line and made a fake bow-to-Buddhist move, hit James who was flying up to interfere, and rushed into the penalty area Made a 360° dunk.

6: 0!

"Good shot! Li Xuan's dunk was really strong, and the Raptors played very smoothly in the opening offense."

In the sports channel studio, Director Xu explained passionately.

On the Cavaliers bench, coach Paul Russell was a little restless, but he didn't ask for a timeout, and wanted to rely on the players to solve the problem by themselves.

On the court, the Cavaliers players wanted to break the scoring drought.

James hit the basket again and was defended by Li Xuan.

At this stage, James' shooting ability has yet to be developed, and the scoring mainly comes from hitting the basket.

But when he encountered a defensive champion like Li Xuan, he really lost his temper.

Chandler grabbed the backcourt rebound, found Delk immediately, and passed the ball.

Delk dribbled the ball forward quickly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure rushing past his right, and immediately passed the ball.

Li Xuan, who followed up, received the pass, came outside the three-point line, and chased and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

9: 0!

There was no sound in the Gund Stadium. The fans did not expect the situation on the field to develop like this, and they didn't even have the confidence to cheer for the Cavaliers.

Less than 2 minutes into the game, the Warriors played a wave of 9-0 attacks and stopped the Cavaliers.

After returning from the timeout, James cooperated with his teammates, knowing that he alone could not break through Li Xuan's defense.

But the Raptors are not only a defensive champion like Li Xuan, "Boxing Champion" Chandler is also a gatekeeper inside.

It was not so easy for James to use the tank to break through and hit the basket, but he broke the scoring shortage anyway.

At the same time, other players of the Cavaliers also entered the state, scoring successively to narrow the point difference.

In the subsequent games, the two sides played evenly, and the score was not further opened.

The first quarter played for about 7 minutes, and the head coaches of both sides made substitutions and adjustments.

The Raptors replaced Delker, Rose, and Chandler with Alston, Iguodala, and Marshall.

This lineup is extremely mobile and can play defensively and counterattack stealthily.

The Cavaliers replaced McGinnis and Big Z with Snow and Varejao.

After the substitution adjustment, the Raptors attacked.

Alstom dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line. Seeing that Li Xuan didn't ask for the ball, he waved inside and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

Bosh quickly stepped forward to do a good job with the pick-and-roll.

The streetball king started quickly, bypassing the cover and quickly breaking through the penalty area.

Varejao immediately switched defenses, delaying Alstom's breakthrough speed.

At the same time, after blocking the man, Bosh quickly went down, received a pass from Alston, and hit a mid-range jumper.

Looking back, James used the screen to get rid of Li Xuan's defense, received a pass and broke through to the basket, relying on Bosh to score a layup.

When it was the Raptors' turn to attack, Li Xuan came to the free throw line to support him with the ball.

Iguodala ran quickly without the ball, cut to the basket, received a wonderful pass from Li Xuan, flew to the basket and scored.

Immediately afterwards, James missed an outside shot and failed to continue the offensive firepower.

The Raptors protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

Li Xuan dribbled the ball quickly, came beyond the three-point line, and threw the ball to the basket.

Iguodala, who rushed into the penalty area, soared into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked vigorously into the basket.

In the next few rounds, James was strictly guarded by Li Xuan and Iguodala, and the effect of hitting the basket was not good.

The other players of the Cavaliers are completely making up the numbers and have no effect on the court.

After the first quarter, the score was 28 to 20. The Raptors led by 8 points and entered the second quarter.

As soon as the second quarter started, Li Xuan and James, who played the first quarter, both rested.

During the rotation phase, Bosh served as the offensive point for the Raptors.

The Cavaliers use Big Z as the core of the offense.

As soon as the two sides came up, they made a fuss in the interior and engaged in fierce physical confrontation.

The strength of the Raptors' bench players is still much stronger than that of the Cavaliers, once again widening the point difference.

Cavaliers coach Russell saw that the situation was not good, and immediately replaced James on the court to stabilize the situation.

After James came back, Li Xuan also went into battle.

The Raptors attacked, Delk dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line, passed the ball to Li Xuan, and then ran to the right outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Li Xuan made a three-threat move and took a tentative step. Seeing that James did not respond, he raised his hand and made a shooting posture.

Seeing this, James was no longer indifferent, and quickly caught up, reaching out to interfere.

His movements are advanced and retreated, advancing can interfere with shooting, and retreating can prevent Li Xuan from breaking through.

But James underestimated Li Xuan's breakthrough speed.

Seeing James catching up, Li Xuan took the ball back, released the ball and activated it. Under the effect of the skill [Lightning Step], he passed James in one step and rushed towards the basket quickly.

Big Z near the penalty area saw Li Xuan rushing towards the basket aggressively, and immediately rushed back to the penalty area to defend.

But Big Z's lateral movement speed was too slow. When he rushed to the basket, he saw Li Xuan was already flying in the air, and it was too late to interfere with him by jumping.

Li Xuan, who was flying in the air, saw a big man suddenly jumping out in front of him, he didn't panic, and still made a posture of attacking the frame.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xuan in the air knocked Big Z, who was still standing still, to the ground, and then dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

There was a sudden silence in the Gund Stadium, and the fans in the auditorium gasped.

How terrifying!
