The playoffs are exciting.

The first accident came from the West. After six games, the Grizzlies, who were ranked first, eliminated the Spurs, who were ranked first, and successfully defeated them, becoming the second team in the century to create the Black Eight Miracle after the Warriors.

Although this has nothing to do with the Raptors and they don’t care, this incident caused a lot of shock in the league.

"The Spurs are old."

"Duncan't do it."

"San Antonio is about to die."

Remarks are common, and only Li Xing holds a different view from others. Occasionally, he has a sense of superiority as a time traveler.

He knew that the Spurs would not only not fall, but would continue to lie dormant, and then the king would return a year later.

Until then, they still have something to do.

In the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Raptors successfully met with the Celtics.

Needless to say, the grievances between the two teams are vivid in my mind last season, and this round of series has been full of solemnity from the beginning.

Route Center Stadium

The audience was ready long ago. They put on T-shirts of uniform colors, pulled the banner of "fuck     bos", and the audience shouted: "suck    bos!"

Fans' anger sometimes comes more intensely than players, and they don't want to lose to Boston anymore, even if the opponent is the overlord of the Eastern Conference.

Although they are rising stars and although they have no background in the face of the Celtics, they have a strong support.

Although this guy is very annoying.

Li Xing sat in the locker room with his upper body naked. He first put on a black sports short-sleeved shirt and then put on the No. 44 home jersey.

At this moment, he waited for a year.

This time, he won't mess it up, they won't mess it up.

"By the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Li Xing walked out of the locker room and stood with his teammates outside. Everyone surrounded the jersey passage. There was the American Airlines Center in front of them. They still needed a lecture.

"It's not easy, guys, all the way, right?"

These words should have been spoken by Calderon, but at this moment, as the leader and the core of the entire team, Li Xing needs to stand up and say these words.

"Even if we beat Boston, the road has not reached the end. It's like playing a game of leveling. Boston is at most a small boss on the road."

Lee Xing's tone fluctuated and lowered: "But we must win, because we fell here last year. We want to prove that we have improved. We want to prove that we can go further without Chris Bosh!"

"I have long said our goal in front of the media, champion! Only champion! I often dream about us standing on the top of a mountain and looking down at the scenery. I dreamed countless times that David Stern brought the O'Brien Cup to our hands. You raise your glasses with me, and that moment will be eternal!"

"I can imagine that moment, for that moment, I am willing to fight to pieces!"

“yep!”

Li Xing stretched out his hand and the others folded his hands together.

“123!”

“fuck    bos!”

With Li Xing roaring, all the Raptors ran into the field together, and they were greeted by the most exciting cheers in the audience.

"It's been a long time since I was gone, little guy."

Before the opening, Garnett came up to chat with Li Xing.

"You can now plan your offseason, and your journey will end here." Li Xing was still as usual.

"It seems that you have forgotten the failure of last year, and I will let you revisit it."

After saying that, Garnett and Li Xing shook hands symbolically. Those who didn't know the inside story thought that the two had a good relationship.

The starting center of the Celtics was Jermaine O'Neal. Seeing Li Xing, his expression was very calm.

Li Xing's impression of him was only in that strange free throw posture.

When he entered the league, O'Neal was no longer at the peak, and he could not witness with his own eyes how powerful this guy was in the peak period.

The referee held up the ball and threw it into the air.

Li Xing pressed his body and jumped up to catch the racket.

"Friends, the first game between the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics in the NBA playoff Eastern Conference semifinals has begun!"

Angus' mouth was like an accelerator installed, and he quickly spoke the opening word.

His partner is Stodmeier, the "little flying mouse" that Raptors fans like.

"Compared with the first round, the semi-finals are the real playoffs. The previous games are just warm-ups, or appetizers before meals."

Stoudemire may not know that he would be criticized by Indiana for this sentence.

However, since the two teams have become mortal enemies, he, as a celebrity of the Raptors, has the obligation to support the team, even if he is criticized for this.

At the beginning, the Celtics showed something different from the Pacers.

Their confrontation, especially the off-ball confrontation, was like a group of madmen preparing to fight, with all kinds of fierce impacts coming one after another.

The most obvious feeling about this is that Li Xing and others who have no balls in their hands. The Celtics fought a lot of confrontations on them.

For Calderon, such a confrontation is also the first time this season.

They fought against the Celtics many times in the regular season, but none of them had such a confrontation.

"Are you dazed?"

Rondo suddenly took action and almost snatched Calderon's ball.

At this moment, Calderon was about to pass the ball to Banyani, but Garnett on one side noticed the intention. When he got out of the ball, he stepped forward to get the ball and immediately blocked the ball.

"What?"

"Okay! Counterattack!"

The Celtic counterattack was like a storm, and Rondo was extremely good at manipulating such rotational offenses.

Garnett stood in the middle, and as long as the Raptors' defense was not in place, he could serve as the first ending point.

Li Xing returned to defense at an astonishing speed. He retreated back to the backcourt long before that, but he had to make a choice.

Three of the Celtics participated in the fast attack, while only two of them retreated in time.

Calderon's defense cannot be counted on, which means that to defend against the opponent's three-man fast attack, he must rely on himself.

Li Xing thought too much and was too hesitant to miss the best opportunity.

While Rondo pushed for the counterattack, his thinking was also clear. As long as Li Xing focused on him, things would be much easier.

Rondo's ball holding threats the greatest threat, Li Xing had to point his finger at him. This is the disadvantage of using one against many. No one can use it with one mind.

Just as Li Xing's defensive focus shifted to Rondo, Garnett had already run into a position that could threaten the basket.

Rondo made a layup, attracting Li Xing's defense completely to the front, and then jumped in the air to Garnett.

Garnett jumped up with the ball and scored with a basket.

"Look at it, are you guys going home? I advise you to plan for the offseason too. It's a long road, young man." Garnett said with a grim smile.

Rondo's face was calm and he left silently.

"Rachy, sorry." Calderon said.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xing picked up the ball on the ground and sent it to Calderon.

The Celtics, who advocated fierce confrontation without the ball last round and stuck their pass route at the same time, turned the tactic into two-three joint defense this round.

It seemed like he knew that the Raptors were going to attack Li Xing at a low post.

If this happens, Li Xing must go out. No matter how strong his ability is, he will never score under the siege of three or four people.

Moreover, with such high-intensity joint defense, whether Calderon can successfully pass the ball to his hands is still a 50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-

"You guys have really worked hard."

Calderon must praise the Celtics for their pre-match preparations, they did a really good job and were in place.

“That’s natural.”

After saying that, Rondo stepped forward to put pressure on him, and every physical contact brought great pressure to Calderon.

At this time, Banyani was contaminated by Garnett's almost cruel physical confrontation and devastating swear words.

Under such an offensive, he must find space.

The strong confrontation made his body lose his previous senses. He didn't know if he could score a goal, but he had to try it.

"Jose!"

Banyani ran out.

Calderon passed the ball even though he knew it was not a good opportunity.
