Chapter Forty-Nine: Li Du Fights Banyani
The second ball, the Lakers are still the same, after the ball is handed over to Kobe, Kobe Bryant raised his eyes and looked at Gabajosa, seeing that Gabajosa has no close defense, he raised his hand to shoot three points! When Gabajosa hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to interfere, Kobe Bryant made a cat waist and burst into the inside line from the left side of Gabajosa.

Banyani took two quick steps, raised his hands in the air, and stepped forward to make up for it. Bryant made a sharp stop in front of him, then dodged to the side as the basketball in his hand was thrown high in the air.
Before Banjani could react, Li Du grabbed the basketball with both hands in mid-air like a divine soldier, and flew towards the basket on a rampage, not caring whether Banyani was standing on the ground or not.
"Bang, bang!" The muffled sound of muscles colliding was followed by the crunch of a basketball slamming into the rim. Banyani was once again knocked to the ground by Li Du! The "Dididi" referee once again blew for Banjani to block the foul.
Banjani got up and asked the referee to theorize: "Referee, this ball just now should have been his offensive foul, I didn't move at all!" ”
The referee glanced at him, ignored him, and continued to gesticulate. At this time, slow motion was played on the big screen, and when Li Dufei was in mid-air just now, Banjani did not move, but he was in a reasonable collision zone! In the picture, when Li Du flew up, his body leaned forward almost parallel to the ground! Banyani collided with Li Du on the ground, but was directly bounced away by Li Du and fell to the ground!
Raptors head coach Mitchell saw this and quickly replaced Banyani. Looking at Banyani who walked back with an innocent face, Li Du shook his head secretly, you can't be too arrogant, you have to be more careful when you talk in Vanity Fair here in the NBA, there are too many people to offend, even if you have super ability, you still have to be suppressed!
Li Du scored another free throw, and the score became 6-2, and the Lakers opened the situation with two 2+1s, almost perfect start!
After Banjani went off the court, the game returned to the normal track, Li Du no longer cut to the inside casually, and the Raptors did not give Li Du a chance to cut inside. The Lakers' offense is controlled by Kobe Bryant, who exerts his super offensive ability.
On the Raptors' side, TJ Ford and Bosh are still the team's offensive and defensive cores, especially Bosh's mid-range shooting is soft, if he pounces on his mid-range shot, after he shakes the defender, he can dribble a step and kill the basket, this trick is used well, and it is difficult to defend in a big man.
TJ Ford is a short point guard with extreme speed, scoring ability, and good vision for breaking through the ball, and before that, he averaged 14.3 points and 7.9 assists per game, making him a qualified offensive guard. However, Li Du defended him, and his breakthrough was limited, so he had to rely on a quick stop and backward jumper to score. It's a pity that when he faced Li Du, he knew why so many people called Li Du "the nightmare of the opposing player".
Li Du's defense is not leaky, he was almost covered by Li Du several times of emergency stop and backward jumpers, under such serious interference, TJ Ford continued to hit the iron, so he had to temporarily give up attacking Li Du and concentrate on organizing the team's overall offense.
The overall strength of the Raptors is weaker than that of the Lakers, coupled with some unintentional love, everyone doesn't foul much, and the two sides play at a fast pace. By the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had led by 11 points, 32-21.
Li Du scored two goals in the opening game and then never shot, Kobe and Odom played smoothly inside and out, Kobe Bryant shot 5 of 8 in the first quarter, scored 10 points, and Odom also scored 8 points and 4 rebounds.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Raptors head coach Mitchell wanted to struggle a little more, so he let Bosh and other main players continue to rest, and replaced Banyani, who had been sitting on the cold bench for a whole quarter. But after only hitting a ball, the Zen master immediately replaced Li Du on the field.
After Li Du came on the field, he directly faced Baniani!
With a height of 213 centimeters and a weight of 110 kilograms, Banyani is actually a very strong inside lineman in terms of size. Li Du is 193 cm tall, weighs 90 kg, and has a slender body, which is on the thin side in the NBA. In terms of body type, the two people are not on the same level at all. Banyani beats Lidu, that's an absolute big fight.
"Boy, I'll show you how good I am!" Banyani took the ball and grinned viciously at Li Du.
Li Du looked at him a little helplessly and shook his head, doesn't this guy still understand anything? Then the only way to do this is to resolutely carry out the orders of the predecessors and teach him a profound lesson!
Banjani is a big player, the safest and most effective way is to play with his back to the single, plus he has a good mid-range shot, which is the most difficult type of person for small players to defend! He leaned sideways against Li Du, felt Li Du's position with his back, and then pressed his left shoulder against Li Du, exerting force under his feet.
The referee has already started counting the seconds, and the back-to-back player must complete the attack within five seconds, otherwise it is considered a violation. This was a rule that was created to limit Charles Barkley back then, and now this rule has become a talisman for Banjani!
Banyani calculated the time in his heart, and he couldn't push Li Du up twice, which showed that Li Du had good strength, and he concentrated the strength of his whole body on his legs to stabilize his center of gravity. So he once again used his shoulder to push Li Du, with the power of Li Du's backshock, Banyani turned around and jumped, his jump shot was slightly backwards, not to mention the cap, it is difficult to interfere with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Banjani turned around and jumped up to shoot, a dark shadow suddenly jumped in front of him, jumped high, and covered the lights! Banyani was shocked, and hurriedly accelerated the speed of his shot, and at the same time adjusted the arc of his shot!
This is the most common and effective tactic for players in the face of distractions, especially when there is a high chance of being blocked. But this time in the face of Li Du, Baniani's choice has become a stain on his life!
Li Du had already blocked Banjani's shooting route, and when he saw a flick of his wrist, he knew that Banyani wanted to increase the shooting arc to avoid being covered. So Li Du: "Hmm! With a muffled snort, the whole body opened, the arms swelled, stretched straight out, and slapped the basketball fiercely!
In normal times, Li Du usually tries to control the landing point of the racket to facilitate counterattacks. But Banjani is tall and has a backward jumper, Li Du has already jumped with all his strength to cover him, seeing Banjani increase the arc of the shot, Li Du's body is all expanded, even if he can cover the ball, even if he is powerful, but he no longer has the ability to control the landing point and strength of the ball.
