The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 342 Li Xun is planted
After defeating the Pistons, the Mavericks' next last away game is against the Boston Celtics.

Lukay performed poorly last season, and this season has gradually begun to exert strength.

They also played three games this season and won two of them.

However, this does not mean that Lvkai has really grown up, their foundation is still too weak.

Like the Pistons, the current Lukai is actually a different thing.

Three of the Big Four of Green Cay back then were gone last season, and during the offseason of this season, the Green Cay management sold the only remaining Rondo in exchange for Thomas Jr.

This deal is undoubtedly quite a bargain.

Rondo is good, but this guy is a thorn, and many times he doesn't obey discipline at all.

What's more, he may even disobey the coach's instructions during the game.

If the coach asks to run Tactic A, he may let the players on the field follow him to run Tactic B.

This is undoubtedly very fatal, and any head coach will absolutely not tolerate this behavior.

Even the current Li Xun, in terms of team tactics, obeys the coach's command as much as possible.

How could Stevens tolerate Rondo like this, so taking advantage of the offseason, he directly invited Rondo, the great god, away.

In exchange for a very obedient little Thomas, although the defensive and organizational skills are not as good as Rondo, but the offensive ability is almost 180 blocks away from Rondo.

There are actually quite a few point guards like Rondo who are unconvinced.

Such as Iverson, Irving, Paul and so on.

However, disobedience to discipline also depends on the situation. Iverson's disobedience to discipline is bohemian, and many fans appreciate him for this.

And Owen's disobedience to discipline is a bit outrageous.

For example, when the team organizes training camps, Irving does not participate at all, but organizes his own small group training. This kind of behavior is absolutely unbearable no matter which team.

This is a typical gang formation.

"Li, congratulations, you have won so many outstanding players again, it is really enviable."

Before the game, the young Stevens stood beside Li Xun and said with a smile.

Because Li Xun has been looking for him to get close, the two of them have a good friendship now, and they will chat before each game.

"There's nothing to be envious of. You got Thomas Jr., and this deal is definitely profitable."

"I think with your ability, in two or three years at most, the Celtics will become the top three teams in the Eastern Conference."

Li Xun also replied with a smile.

Stevens didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know what Li Xun liked about him, and why he always praised him so much every time he saw him.

"I hope so."

"Lee, I want to ask, Draymond Green in your team, do you have any idea of ​​selling?"

"Looks like you haven't played him much this season."

Stevens asked suddenly.

Li Xun scratched his head, good guy, are you looking at the players in your team again?

Stevens still has vision, and he even took a fancy to Green.

Although Green had won a five-double with the help of Li Xun before, he made a big splash.

But later, because of conflicts with Middleton in the team, Li Xun directly asked Carlisle to chill him for a while.

Green has barely gotten any playing time so far this season.

The main reason is that the Mavericks can play too many players now, and Green's failure to play will not affect the situation of the game at all.

But Li Xun definitely didn't have the idea of ​​letting Green go.

The main reason is that he was worried that after Green was let go, this guy went around and ran to the Warriors. When the Warriors had Green, they would definitely be even more powerful and would cause him a lot of trouble.

So even if Green is not needed at all now, Li Xun has no plans to sell him.

Now Lvkai actually took a fancy to Green, which surprised Li Xun.

But think about Stevens' coaching style. Like Cole, he is also quite obsessed with the death five small lineup.

In the next few years, after the Green Kai's lineup is formed, their starting lineup will be the lineup with the shortest average height in the league.

If you get Green, Lukai's strength may become a bit tricky at that time.

"Sorry, man, we have no intention of shooting Green."

Li Xun rejected Stevens simply and decisively.

As an academic head coach, Stevens is relatively thin-skinned and did not stalk Bird like Bird.

Hearing that Li Xun would not sell Green, he did not continue to dwell on this matter.

Soon, the game on the field began, and the starters of both sides began to appear on the field.

Li Xun looked at Lu Kai's starting lineup. They were really short. They didn't even need Lu Kai's complete lineup to form. Now their starting lineup is very short.

Center Sullinger is only 206 centimeters, and power forward Jeff Green is also 206 centimeters.

Jeff Green's height is not bad, the standard power forward height is currently 208 cm, 206 cm is not too short.

Small forward Jae Crowder is only 198 cm tall. Even in the hands of Stevens, Crowder has to play the fourth position from time to time.

The backcourt duo is Thomas Jr. plus Avery Bradley.

Needless to say, Thomas Jr.'s height, and Avery Bradley, as a shooting guard, is only 188 cm tall.

Some people say that Bradley is a point guard, but he is actually a shooting guard on the court.

Such a starting lineup is indeed a bit too short.

Let's look at the starting lineup of the Mavericks tonight. If Lukai's side is ridiculously short, the Mavericks' side is ridiculously tall.

Center Gobert is 216 centimeters, Li Xun is 206 centimeters, Clay and Anthony are both two meters away, and Antetokounmpo at position one is close to seven feet.

The shortest Clay has reached 201 centimeters, which is taller than Lukai's third position.

In the first few offensive rounds, the two sides actually fought back and forth, mainly because Antetokounmpo was not good at defending Thomas Jr.

When the two match up, Antetokounmpo can ignore Thomas Jr.'s defense to shoot, and Thomas Jr. can also ignore Antetokounmpo's defense to break through.

However, the situation did not reach the point where Carlisle called a timeout. After all, even if Thomas Jr. completely beat Antetokounmpo, it would be difficult for Green Kai to win this game.

As long as the trio of Li Xun, Clay, and Anthony puts a little effort into it, no team in the league will be able to handle it, let alone a middling team like the Green Kai.

After halfway through the first quarter, Carlisle replaced Antetokounmpo with an old driver and asked Clay to defend Thomas Jr. alone.

As a result, the defensive effect was not very satisfactory. Clay's speed was not fast enough, nor could he keep up with Thomas Jr.'s footsteps.

Li Xun was speechless. He had been staring at the inside players in the draft all these years, and now the Mavericks lacked a defensive gate at the No. [-] position.

Because Li Xun can play the first position and lock down any point guard in the league, this problem has never been exposed.

Playing Thomas Jr. tonight, Li Xun didn't want to make Thomas Jr. too ugly, so he didn't attack him.

With Li Xun's speed, coupled with the absolute crushing height and strength, he can definitely arrange little Thomas clearly.

Even Li Xun was sure that Thomas Jr. would not be able to score a single sports game in the entire game.

The reason why it is said that sports games cannot score is because the referee will inevitably blow the whistle, so Thomas Jr. may rely on free throws to score a little.

And excluding free throws, Li Xunzhen is confident that Thomas will score zero.

But why is this necessary?

It was really not easy for little Thomas to get to this point. Li Xun didn't want his worth to be wiped out in one game.

Soon the first half of the game was over, and the Mavericks led by nine points.

Everything is under control, as long as the Mavericks want to, they can actually end the game at any time.

Now Li Xun didn't exert much effort at all, it was a little face for Thomas and Stevens.

When the second half of the game started, Lukai launched a wave of offensive, almost evening the point difference.

Li Xun had no choice but to start exerting his strength.

The flash point on Lukai's side was Crowder, who had the same nickname as Artest.

Both of them are nicknamed Beast, but Li Xun feels that Artest is more qualified to use this nickname.

Compared with Artest, Claude is still almost mean, the defense of the two is not at the same level.

In the first few minutes of the second half, Claude scored seven points in a row and was directly targeted by Li Xun.

Under Li Xun's strict defense, Claude missed two consecutive shots, one of which was even missed by Li Xun.

Most of the players who can be dubbed as beasts have poor brains.

In Lukai's offensive round, Claude held the ball on the outside and made a posture of preparing to shoot from outside the three-point line.

Li Xun immediately flew forward to seal the cover.

At this moment, after Claude jumped up, his right knee was raised directly.

The posture looked extremely weird, no one would make such a posture when shooting normally.

The next scene that made the scalp tingle appeared, and Claude's knee was directly pressed against Li Xun's crotch.

In an instant, Li Xun only felt a bone-piercing pain sweeping through his whole body.

This feeling is hard to describe in words, if Li Xun's body is not strong enough, this kind of pain would definitely make him pass out directly.

After landing, Li Xun sat paralyzed on the ground.

This time should be regarded as the biggest loss that Li Xun has suffered since entering the league.

Unknowingly, Li Xun has been playing in the league for more than six years. During such a long time, Li Xun has hardly suffered any losses.

But tonight he was kicked, to be precise, kicked, kicked with a knee.

For a moment, Li Xun's first thought was not to kill Claude, but worried about whether this would affect the rest of his life.

Seeing Li Xun sitting on the ground with a painful expression, the scene fell silent.

When he was still in the Pistons, Li Xun suppressed Lukai very badly. At that time, there was even a famous scene where Li Xun chased Garnett on the court.

It can be said that Lu Kai suffered countless losses from Li Xun.

Tonight, Claude's move is undoubtedly to give vent to them, the Green Kai fans.

But after venting their anger, these fans also became worried. With Li Xun's temperament, can he let Claude go?

"run!"

"RUN!"

"RUN!"

The fans shouted frantically. They wanted to let Claude run for his life before Li Xun recovered.

If this is relieved by Li Xun, no one will doubt that Li Xun is quite likely to execute Claude on the court.

It's a pity that the current Li Xun can't go to rectify Claude on the spot, his scalp is numb from the pain now.

Anthony was still righteous. Seeing that Li Xun was injured, he rushed up and began to push Claude.

Claude raised his hands, signaling that he didn't want to create a conflict, and backed away again and again.

This kind of behavior is actually quite shameless. After doing all the bad things, he will act as an honest person again.

In order to prevent the situation from expanding, the referee quickly separated the players from both sides to prevent the situation from getting worse.

The Mavericks' team doctor hurriedly carried a stretcher to the field.

Li Xun was carried on a stretcher and sent back to the locker room.

Carlisle's complexion changed, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen after playing a green card.

This is just the regular season!

If it's the finals, it's still expected that Lu Kai will do something out of the ordinary.

After all, it is traditional for Lukai to make dirty tricks in the playoffs. The height of the basket, the floor, etc. are all places they can take advantage of.

"Give me a fierce attack!"

"Give me a fierce defense!"

"We must teach them a lesson tonight!"

Carlisle is not a ruthless character like Chuck Daly, the godfather of bad boys. The only thing he can do is to let the Mavericks beat Green Kai in the game.

With the current lineup of the Mavericks, even if Li Xun is not there, they can actually beat Lu Kai.

At this moment, in the locker room of the visiting team, Li Xun took a breather for 5 minutes, and the pain was reduced a lot.

The team doctor checked it and found that it was already swollen beyond words, but it was not serious because it was not broken after all.

The more Li Xun thought about it, the more angry he became.

He never dreamed that he would fall into the hands of a small character like Claude.

He secretly hated himself for being careless.

As a ball-kicking madman of the same level as Green, Claude has kicked eggs against the Mavericks under normal circumstances.

It's just that under normal circumstances, the Mavericks are in charge of Doncic.

The current boss is Li Xun.

The best way to deal with this kind of guy is to fight with an eye for an eye.

It's a pity that Li Xun can't play at all now. If he can play, he will definitely kick under Claude without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Li Xun directly asked the team doctor to call Green, who was on the bench, back to the locker room.

"Dude, do me a favor and count me in your debt."

"I don't want Crowder walking off the court standing up tonight."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Xun said coldly to Green.

Green's face was ecstatic, Li Xun owed him a favor?This value is too high.

He is not a fool, he knows exactly what Li Xun wants.

To be precise, what Li Xun wants Claude to end up with.

"Relax, boss."

"I was not on the court just now. If I were on the court, Claude would be sent back to the locker room with you."

"Leave it to me, and I'll make him regret what he did tonight."

Green patted his chest directly to assure it.

Li Xun's favor is really too tempting. The key is that Green really wants to beg Li Xun for something now.

This time, it happened to help Li Xun arrange Claude, and then asked Li Xun to return his favor.
