Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

The preseason is the last opportunity for NBA teams to test their lineups.

For the first time, CCTV will broadcast live NBA preseason games.

The live broadcast was naturally the preseason game between the Raptors and the Mavericks.

After all, the Mavericks selected Yu Yu. Although Yu Yu has not been reported yet, the Mavericks have already made a sense of presence in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Not to mention Menglong, as the first home team for Chinese fans in the NBA, it will definitely attract much attention.

This game was also deliberately arranged by the league for Chinese fans to watch. It can be regarded as a Chinese derby!

Well, a Chinese derby with only one Chinese player.

To be honest, Li Ang was a little panicked.

The Dallas Mavericks currently have the German tank Dirk Nowitzki at the power forward position.

Although Dirk has not yet achieved success at this time, it can even be said that his playing style is completely different from his peak period.

But it’s also very powerful.

Moreover, Dirk's height can be around 2.13 meters. Even if Li Ang is rounded up to 2.10 meters, he is still short of height.

It’s hard to guard against!

Li Ang was really afraid that the German tank would step on the accelerator into the fuel tank and kill him.

In addition, this is the first time Li Ang has appeared in a domestic live game, which makes him even more nervous.

In the past year, domestic fans could only learn about Li Ang through newspapers.

There are only text and no videos. In this era, there are not even animated pictures. Watching Li Ang is like reading a novel.

Today, this novel-like character is about to appear on television, and the enthusiasm of domestic fans has also been aroused.

Before the game started, Uncle Butch announced the starting lineup for this game.

The strongest point guard on the planet is 160 Bogues, shooting guard his father, the dunk champion, small forward Tracy McGrady, power forward Leon, and center Oakley.

This is a mixed lineup of starters and substitutes. It can be seen that Uncle Butch wants Oakley and other veterans to play with young people like McGrady and Liang.

This game is mainly to train them both!

Uncle Butch knows very well that how far the Raptors can go this season depends on how well Leon and McGrady can play.

Carter alone is not enough to get the Raptors into the playoffs.

Li Ang was nervous here, but everyone on the opposite side of the Mavericks team was even more panicked.

In particular, Nowitzki and Sean Lukes could only be described as restless in the locker room.

"Here, the opposite team will send Leon and Oakley to partner inside?" Lukes looked at the Raptors' starting list and glanced at Nelson.

Lukes is not the starting center of the Mavericks' regular lineup, but because he just transferred from the Lakers, Nelson decided to start him in the first game to adapt to the team's rhythm.

It was a good thing at first, but after discovering the Raptors' interior configuration,

Lukes really wanted to ask Nelson: "Can this starter be waived?"

Let's not talk about Oakley, his notoriety in the NBA is known to everyone.

And thanks to the exaggeration by many media, Li Ang's image as a villain has also become somewhat famous.

Don't tell me, people who don't have the courage to play against the inside line composed of these two guys really don't dare.

At the same time, in the CCTV studio, Zhengping and Weiping, a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes, were also ready to explain the competition.

This is the first live broadcast of an NBA preseason game in China, so the two of them attach great importance to it. .

In the locker room, Oakley gathered everyone together and told everyone:

"Before the season started, almost no one cared about us. Even the local fans in Toronto didn't have high expectations for us.

But it doesn’t matter what others think of us. Only we know how much we want to win this season. "

With that said, Oakley looked at the two young men, Leon and Tracy.

"So, go out and beat up those Texas cowboys! This is Toronto, and we are the masters of the North!"

With a roar, Oakley led everyone out of the locker room in a rage.

Otherwise, how about saying that he is the leader of the locker room? I guess I worked overtime to write this word last night.

It's hard enough for Carter to say this now.

All Li Ang could think about was the word "beat him up", so what about Nowitzki, just beat him up and that's it!

The two teams entered the stadium for the first time. There were not many fans in the Canadian Airline Center Stadium. Some of them came to see Nash of the Mavericks. After all, he is a serious Canadian player.

But there were indeed many Chinese fans at the scene. They all held up Chinese signs saying "China Flying Pig" and jumped up and down excitedly.

Li Ang was speechless. Does the person with this nickname have a grudge against me? Doesn’t it sound good to call them Little Emperor and Yunlong?

It took a lot of effort to get rid of the team name Water Bastards, but now they are called pigs again.

Just Zootopia?

At this time, Director Zhang of the TV station said: "The Chinese Flying Pig has appeared. I was the first to use this nickname at the beginning, hahaha. It is very suitable for Li Ang because he looks like Barkley and his playing style is just like Barkley."

Oakley stood in the center circle, and Zhengping and Weiping began to introduce the starting lineup.

"The Mavericks' starting lineup, point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Eric Strickland, small forward Mike Finley, power forward, power forward"

Director Zhang looked at Nowitzki's name and felt troubled.

The English names before were easy to translate, but suddenly the whole German name came out, and...

Then, Director Zhang's heart twitched and his tongue curled up.

"Power forward, Driver No., okay, let's start the game!"

The basketball was jumped away by the Mavericks, and Li Ang quickly went up and stuck to Nowitzki.

At this time, Nowitzki was not the Dirk who was so slow that he drove in reverse and fell down.

Now Dirk is not so much a power forward as he is a power back!

His style of play is very outside-oriented, and his favorite thing is to break through with the ball and the frame from outside the three-point line.

Li Ang is very speechless towards this kind of person. Can we play any position according to our height?

Like me, I firmly believe that I am a shooting guard at all times!

Nash wanted to break through Boggs, but Boggs defended very hard.

Although he only has 160, his defense has always been very active.

In desperation, Nash passed the ball to Dirk.

The big back is coming!

Dirk held the ball with both hands outside the three-point line and made two triple-threat moves facing Li Ang.

Some people are obviously tall inside, but they are obsessed with outside play.

Some people are obviously tall on the outside, but they are obsessed with physical combat on the inside.

After finding the rhythm, Nowitzki suddenly accelerated and prepared to break through. Li Ang just took two steps to block, but Nowitzki made an unlucky change of direction very naturally!

"Ah this!" Li Ang's eyes widened. Can someone 2.13 meters tall dribble such a ball during a breakthrough?

It turns out everything in the novel is true!

Because Li Ang's lateral movement speed was only 70, he was unable to block the opponent in time after Dirk changed.

At this time, Nowitzki was very fast, and his strides were long, so he directly surpassed Li Ang by half a body.

This is the strength of future superstars!

Fortunately, with Oakley sitting in the paint, Dirk's forced rush to the frame failed.

The body is still weak.

Li Ang let out a big breath and almost overturned the car as soon as he got up.

After getting the rebound, Li Ang handed the ball to Boggs.

He was very fast and broke up the Mavericks' defensive formation in one fell swoop.

After the breakthrough, Bogues found Tracy McGrady outside the three-point line with a point ball. All Toronto fans were looking forward to this tall No. 1's shot.

You have been practicing in Toronto for two full years, should you have mastered long-range shooting?

"Boom!"

Well, it's still as solid as the previous two years.

The basketball bounced out of the frame and the Raptors missed a scoring opportunity.

"Oh, this ball was played too anxiously, it should be given to Li Ang!"

Director Zhang is anxious, will No. 1 play?

Are we broadcasting this match to watch you fight?

This shot was blocked by McGrady before Li Ang reached the basket, so the rebound belonged to the Mavericks.

The Mavericks counterattacked quickly, and the ball was quickly beaten into Finley's hands.

As the man once known as "the man closest to Jordan in physical fitness", Finley is currently the Mavericks' first scoring point, and fast break counterattacks are his favorite thing.

After Tracy McGrady made a three-pointer, he was still worried. Finley had already entered the penalty area and made a powerful dunk. The counterattack was just a flash of lightning.

In the private room, Grunwald was a little worried.

This special code, McGrady and Li Ang were promised to defend so terrifyingly?

Where is the horror?

In the next round, Li Ang relied on his strong body to force Dirk into the inside, but Lukes, who was guarding the inside, withstood the impact and prevented Li Ang's layup.

The defense at the NBA level is different from that in the NCAA. In the NCAA, once Li Ang charges, it is basically impossible to be stopped.

But in the NBA, it is undoubtedly more difficult for Li Ang to score goals.

And in the NBA at this time, there was no defensive three seconds!

Therefore, the big center can always squat under the basket, and Li Ang's speed advantage cannot be fully utilized.

Although the goal didn't go in, it still couldn't stop Director Zhang's carefully prepared commentary: "Although the goal didn't go in, this is how the ball has to be played. We have to look for Li Ang. Who can we look for if we don't look for MOP?"

The Mavericks beat him, and Nowitzki learned to be smart. After dribbling and breaking through, he directly pulled up from mid-range without entering and fighting Oakley inside.

Li Ang tried his best to jump up and block, but Dirk's shooting point was very high, and Li Ang's interference was a bit uninteresting.

"brush!"

Basketball hit, Mavericks 4-0!

In the next few rounds, Dirk and Finley fired left and right, and Nash went through the motions, which really beat the Raptors hard.

After a few minutes, the score became 15 to 9. The Mavericks took a 6-point lead and the Menglong team timed out.

The on-site commentators joked: "It seems that the Raptors' hopefuls have extinguished Toronto's hopes again."

Just make fun of the Raptors' draft vision. Except for Carter, all the draft picks were random.

Look at this Tracy McGrady, he is long and thin, and he is still like this even in his third season.

Look at this Li Ang again, he is short and wide, he can't even guard Nowitzki.

Li Ang and Tracy McGrady's defense was a bit unexpected. Although they were not expected to lock down each other, they did not expect that they would become shortcomings on the defensive end.

Uncle Butch is also worried. Are you embarrassing yourselves? This is ruining my job!

If I can't use you well, I won't be able to pack up and leave?

Butch carefully analyzed the situation in these rounds. To be honest, McGrady and Liang's defense was hard work, but it just couldn't be effective.

At this time, Uncle Butch suddenly found Hua Dian!

It's not that Li Ang and Tracy McGrady are incompetent, it's that their abilities are used in the wrong place.

"Lee, you go to defend Finley later. Tracy, you go to defend the German. Come on, I believe you can lock down the Mavericks' offense!"

Li Ang and Tracy McGrady looked at each other. Is this called a legendary exchange?

Li Ang thought that this kind of plot could only be found in the short videos of Neon Kingdom.

The game restarts, and this is Uncle Butch's last desperate move.

Grunwald felt like he had lost his face. How would I face reporters later? How to face the boss? How to face fellow villagers?

Just hide it and go straight to Carter!

After the timeout, Carter still didn't play.

Uncle Butch looked at Li Ang and Tracy firmly. These two sleeping dragons and phoenixes were definitely more than that.

Although Butch's technical and tactical skills are not top-notch, he is indeed a very patient coach with rookies and is willing to give them opportunities.

If it were a utilitarian coach, like Larry Brown, Leon and Maizi would probably become human victory cigars.

He believed that Maizi and Li Ang had more than this strength, but they just happened to meet rivals.

When the game restarted, Dirk and Finley became excited when they saw that there were no substitutions on the other side, and they hugged Nash from left to right.

"Xiao Na, feed each person one round later, don't be partial."

Finlay and Dirk are completely excited. Who doesn't like opponents like Menglong?

In this attack, Boggs wisely passed the ball to Maizi.

At this time, Li Ang glanced at Maizi, and then ran up to block Maizi.

McGrady then dribbled the ball in the direction blocked by Li Ang. During this period, McGrady's independent offensive ability was not that strong. In addition to unstable shooting, the center of gravity of the dribble was too high and it was difficult to pass people.

Although his dribbling ability has improved greatly this past summer, he has not yet reached the level of a top scorer.

Finlay saw the right moment and was about to take the ball, but was blocked by Li Ang!

Although Li Ang is not tall, he is strong enough and his pick-and-roll quality is still good.

Seeing this situation, Nowitzki switched directly to McGrady.

McGrady glanced at Dirk, that's it?

That's all, they say he's handsome?

My house still looks great!

Don’t think that I’m afraid of you if you have a middle parting in your comb!

McGrady accelerated to Dirk's right, the center of gravity of the dribble was still very high, and there was almost no change in direction.

But Dirk's center of gravity is higher than him.

During this period, Dirk's sprint speed is not slow, but his lateral movement speed is slow.

Therefore, the wheat was eaten up and wiped clean in one step.

After reaching the mid-range position, McGrady made an emergency jump shot. This summer, his biggest improvement is his half-shot.

The basketball hit the net, and McGrady finally narrowed the point difference for the Menglong team!

Wei Ping: "What tactic is this ball called? It's called a single screen! In other words, in this tactic, Li Ang plays a greater role than Tracy McGrady!"

Shohei: "Good shot."

Carter stood up and applauded Ai, and Maddie also smiled and pointed at Li Ang.

This is the first time the three of them have cooperated.

Why wouldn't it be considered cooperative if Carter waved the towel down there?

Nowitzki straightened his hair, but damn, that skinny guy got it.

But it doesn't matter, I will definitely be able to find it on the offensive end next.

"What are you doing? Where's Li Ang? Call Li Ang. I'm not the kind of casual person. I just want Li Ang!" Dirk was shocked when he saw McGrady guarding him.

On the other side, Finley also found that it was Li Ang who was defending him.

Dirk asked Lukes to play a pick-and-roll with him, but McGrady bypassed the screen very quickly and was back in front of Dirk almost instantly.

Dirk had no choice but to look for Finley.

After all, Finley also averaged 20 points per game last season. Facing a rookie like Li Ang, he is still very confident.

What's more, McGrady didn't guard me just now, so why can you?

But before Finley could catch the ball, Li Ang walked towards him, and then

Just hug it!

In this era, isn’t that how perimeter defense is played?

Just when Finley wanted to break free, Li Ang hit him on the chest with his iron elbow: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Did I ask you to move? Be honest!"

Li Ang's elbow couldn't even withstand the genuine Jordan, let alone Finley, the pirated Jordan.

Finley couldn't run out, and Dirk could only lift the basketball at the top of the key. The scene was very embarrassing for a time.

In the end, he had to force a shot under McGrady's defense.

The result is obvious, the basketball bounces out of the frame!

In the first round of the defense change, both Li Ang and Tracy McGrady performed very well!

Uncle Butch raised his arms in excitement. The defensive abilities of these two men did not disappoint him.

The reason why they were defeated at the beginning was because they happened to meet their nemesis.

McGrady's center of gravity is too high to let go, and he is not suitable for defending defenders like Finley who like to break through.

Li Ang can carry people and has strength, but he is not suitable for guarding a big back like Dirk.

Now after the exchange, it is much easier to use~

The Menglong team's counterattack was very fast, and Li Ang's 80 speed made him a duck to water in the counterattack.

Boggs saw that Li Ang had already cut in, so he threw the ball into the air.

Li Ang picked up the basketball in the air and slammed it against the basket. This is how a serious power forward should play!

With a "boom", Toronto felt Leon's anger for the first time.

Wei Ping: "Beautiful aerial coordination, so the driver can't catch up at all. Now we are only 2 points away. Let's see if the Raptors can equalize the score in the first quarter."

Shohei: "Good shot!"

Li Ang's alley-oops began to ignite Toronto, and it was discovered that the Chinese seemed to be as good at dunking as Carter.

With 2 points left to equalize, Li Ang also found his rhythm.

On the sidelines, a kid with thick eyebrows and big eyes sucked a big snot cannon.

Damn, he's so handsome. This dunk is so powerful.

I want to take Li Ang as my teacher!

Little Curry planted a dream in his heart to become the first dunker in history.

After the defense returned, McGrady continued to defend Dirk, and Li Ang continued to hug Finley.

Dirk was troubled by McGrady. To be honest, what bothered Dirk the most was this swingman type of player.

In the future, the Warriors can defeat the Mavericks because the Warriors have been using swingmen to defend Dirk and put pressure on the ball, which made him very irritable.

Therefore, McGrady is the best candidate to defend Dirk at this stage.

McGrady during the Raptors period had the strongest defensive ability in his entire career.

After going to the Magic, Maizi had to focus most of his energy on the offensive end, so his defense was not as good as it was during the Raptors.

Not to mention the Houston period, McGrady was past the peak of his physical condition at that time, and his defensive skills were naturally greatly reduced.

Being stared at by Tracy McGrady, the still young Dirk felt a little unable to move forward.

This time Finley finally got rid of Li Ang and finally got the ball.

He still didn't believe that he couldn't even beat a first-year brat.

This guy made a few triple-threat steps and prepared to break through to the inside, but the direction of the breakthrough was completely guessed by Li Ang.

What are you thinking about playing three threats in front of me, King Li Tianwang? ?

I'm afraid you don't know that Kobe was once knocked down by me with a triple threat, right?

Sliding? What slipped? If I say it's knocked down, it's meant to be knocked down!

Finley saw that the three threats were not feasible, so he was ready to rely on speed to defeat Li Ang like he did with Tracy McGrady.

But as a fourth position, Li Ang has a lower focus than Tracy McGrady at the third position.

After lowering his center of gravity, Li Ang slipped and blocked Finley's breakthrough route again.

In fact, Li Ang did not rush to Finley immediately, but because his center of gravity was low enough and his long arms blocked him, he was able to defeat Finlay.

"On the Importance of Men's Length"!

Of course, Finley is not a top breakthrough player, which is also a factor in Li Ang's successful defense.

Li Ang's current ability cannot be locked by every SG.

Finley couldn't break through, so he prepared to pass the ball to Nash to reorganize.

But the experienced Boggs saw Finley's intention. He sprinted up and intercepted Finley's pass midway!

Boggs is nicknamed "The Bandit", which is enough to show how fast he steals.

At the moment of the steal, Li Ang and McGrady turned around and ran forward, both participating in the counterattack, and the pace of the game was accelerated very quickly.

Director Zhang got excited and shouted directly: "Oh, what a double dragon going out to sea, flying together, flying together!"

Boggs gave the ball to McGrady on the right. After dribbling twice, Maizi threw the ball into the air, preparing to pass an alley-oop to Li Ang.

Li Ang jumped up and got the basketball, only to discover a problem.

My own jumping speed was too fast, almost too much!

McGrady originally thought that when Li Ang jumped up to get the ball, the ball had almost flown near the basket.

As a result, when Li Ang jumped up and got the ball, the ball was still a little inside the free throw line.

It turns out that being too fast is not always a good thing.

But there is no way, you have the ball, you can't cover yourself like Lao Zhan, right?

Therefore, Li Ang could only stretch his arms as much as possible, stabilize his center of gravity, and fly to the basket!

Li Ang had never dunked from such a distance before, so he was a little nervous.

Finally, after gliding for a certain distance, Li Ang completed a very relaxed one-handed gliding chop.

Two consecutive counterattacks and two alley-oops.

The once lifeless arena at Toronto's Aviation Center became extremely heated.

The on-site commentator said: "If you are looking for the strongest team this season, I may not have the answer. But if you are looking for the most entertaining team this season, it is undoubtedly the Toronto Raptors!"

You know, there is a talented Carter sitting on the bench!

The Chinese commentator only had two words: "Good shot!"

Director Zhang:

Zhengping, please change the lyrics!

Li Ang's gliding alley-oop dunk not only tied the score, but also boosted the morale of the Raptors.

They couldn't beat anyone last season, but suddenly they found that they seemed to be able to win.

Moreover, this is without Carter!

The Mavericks were knocked unconscious by Li Ang's consecutive dunks. Seeing that neither Dirk nor Finley could score, Nash decided to score one himself.

Damn it, even if I pass the ball to you, it’s useless!

This time, Nash successfully broke through Boggs through Dirk's screen and got inside for a civilian layup.

As a result, as soon as Nash jumped up, a black shadow suddenly appeared next to him.

Maddie straightened her arm and waved hard.

With a "bang", the basketball flew directly into the audience, and Nash was knocked out of the baseline.

After Li Ang's flying dunk just now, Tracy McGrady had another big volleyball risk!

On both ends of the offense and defense, the Raptors are extremely entertaining to watch!

Don't be surprised. In the original history, Maizi averaged 1.9 blocks per game in the 1999-00 season.

Did you hear that this is what defenders do?

This future scoring champion really started his career on defense!

McGrady: I’m really an insider.

Li Ang: I am really an outside shooter.

Finley, Dirk and Nash, the Mavericks' scoring points were clearly arranged by Leon and McGrady.

During this period, the Mavericks' strongest strength is their offense. As long as they are locked in attack, it is basically equivalent to slaughtering the cow.

On the sidelines, Uncle Butch was dancing with joy.

Li Ang and Tracy McGrady are simply the two tormentors. Menglong's forward defense is simply invincible!

With this pair of Wolong and Phoenix in hand, the Raptors' defense next season will be simply impregnable.

Then it will be supplemented by Carter's offense.

Butch has already smelled the enticing aroma of the playoffs.

Now, let's slowly appreciate how Li Ang and McGrady cut off this bull's head.

kill!
