Several rounds have been played since the beginning of the game, but the two sides still have not scored in physical combat.

Kirilenko's two blocks on the defensive end today earned him great praise.

This is the first time this season that Li Ang feels so stressed when facing a matchup.

In the previous game against the Spurs, although Duncan was guarding the inside, Duncan did not directly confront Li Ang after all.

Most of the time, Li Ang was happy to torture the general and Wu Sheng.

Although the shooting percentage was low in the game against the Heat, it had nothing to do with the Heat's defense. It was purely due to Li Ang's own poor touch.

But today, Li Ang truly met someone who could cause trouble for him.

Li Ang paused while holding the ball, and then suddenly accelerated to break through, trying to use his speed to get rid of Kirilenko.

Against most people who are taller than him, Li Ang's speed is more advantageous.

But Kirilenko quickly stopped Li Ang and tried to cut the ball.

If you think Kirilenko can only block shots, you are totally wrong.

Whether it's stealing the ball holder or intercepting a pass, Kirilenko is outstanding.

This guy doesn't have the abnormal physical fitness of Giannis Antetokounmpo, otherwise he would definitely become a super giant with his static talent.

After Kirilenko stopped Li Ang, Li Ang immediately stopped, half-turned, and made a turnaround jump shot.

Because of the blessing of the Danzi badge, when Li Ang turns over and shoots a jump shot, his body can pause slightly in the air.

Against most players, Li Ang relies on this badge and his abnormal wingspan to turn over and jump shots without being disturbed.

Whether he can get in or not depends entirely on whether Li Ang can grasp it.

But Kirilenko was able to keep his hands on the ball from beginning to end, causing great interference to Li Ang!

In order not to be blocked, Li Ang could only increase the arc of his shot.

Temporarily adjusting the shooting arc is what affects the hit rate the most.

The basketball then bounced to the front of the basket, and Kirilenko completed a beautiful defense for the third time in a row!

"Fuck!" Li Ang gritted his teeth. This Russian was far more difficult to deal with than he thought.

Coach Sloan smiled happily. It seemed that Kirilenko's strategy of using Kirilenko to restrict Li Ang was very successful today.

In the next few rounds, Kirilenko was everywhere on the defensive end.

He was very good in both single defense and assist defense. In one round, he even prevented Li Ang's back attack.

Although Kirilenko looks thin, his fighting ability is not weak.

Coupled with his height and wingspan, he can defend Li Ang's low-post offense with ease.

After the first quarter, the Pistons and Jazz were tied at 22-22.

Li Ang only scored 4 points in the first quarter and made 2 of 6 shots, which was a rare and extremely low efficiency.

If Billups hadn't made a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the last minute, the Pistons might still be behind.

At this time, the whole world was praising Kirilenko. Originally a duel between Malone and Li Ang, Kirilenko took away one of the leading roles.

"He is simply the ultimate answer to defending Li Ang!"

"Why isn't Li a superstar? Because a real superstar can't meet a player he can't handle. And Li Ang, he seems to be helpless against Kirilenko today."

"Let's see if the Jazz can really end the Pistons' winning streak!"

Even Barkley, who had always been supportive of Leon, was sweating at this moment. A monster like Kirilenko with coexistence of strength, height and speed is indeed very difficult to deal with.

Li Ang sat on the bench, sweating profusely.

In the past, on the offensive end, Li Ang was taller than him but not as fast as him, and those who were faster than him were not as strong as him.

Of course, there are weirdos like Artest who are fast and strong, but always like to run out and buy drinks for his teammates.

Today, Kirilenko really restrained Li Ang on the defensive end.

Li Ang has no obvious advantage against him.

"Calm down, Li!" Carlisle walked up to Li Ang and patted Li Ang on the shoulder.

"Um?"

"You want to score on Kirilenko too much. Being too anxious will cloud your judgment. As the core of the team, you need to stay calm at all times.

I know that you want to stand up and break the deadlock, and I know that you are not afraid of fighting a tough battle.

But remember Li Ang, as the core, you must not only learn to stand up, but also learn to think.

You don't have any obvious advantages against Kirilenko, so you have to think about how to solve the problem and how to help the team, understand? Not all teams can use your own advantages to solve him.

"

After saying that, the coach who looked like a comedian smiled at Li Ang, which also relieved Li Ang's pressure.

Li Ang nodded, he did play too recklessly in the first quarter.

Kirilenko's physical condition is indeed more terrifying than that of Leon.

He is 2.06 meters tall but has a wingspan of 2.28 meters. This length is so exaggerated that only Ibaka, who is 28 centimeters in the future, will be able to match him.

Moreover, Kirilenko is more accurate in timing blocks and steals than Li Ang.

So every time Li Ang takes action, he can interfere with him just right.

Li Ang's current advantage is that his athletic ability is more abnormal than Kirilenko's.

Li Ang calmed down and no longer only wanted to fight Kirilenko.

Shooting 2 for 6 from the field, this is something that a talented and show-loving person from Los Angeles can do. How could I join in the same trend with him?

The second quarter was about to begin, and when players from both sides came on the court, Malone finally found a chance to talk to Li Ang.

He walked up to Li Ang and shouted:

"rnm, I just finished the first quarter and my whole body is already hurting, bastard!"

"Ah? What does it have to do with me?" Li Ang looked confused.

Li Ang was busy battling Kirilenko in the first quarter, and he almost forgot that there was a guy named Karl Malone on the Jazz team.

Also, Li Ang is really used to elbowing Malone.

He really didn't do it on purpose, it was just a conditioned reflex.

"It's none of your business... Listen, I don't want to compete with you today. It's definitely not that I don't dare to fight. The main reason is that we can't finish a complete match every time we meet, which is a bit unscrupulous.

"

"That's too rude."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So today, we will use basketball to decide the outcome openly. Do you dare to play a complete game with me? I want you to know

What does it mean to be a true top striker!"

"What a coincidence, I play as a top forward."

After speaking, Li Ang turned and left, preparing to defend.

Ma Long breathed a sigh of relief. He finally found the opportunity to speak clearly to Li Ang.

Finally no longer need to be beaten~

With Ma Long's dislocated elbow now, he really doesn't dare to compete with Li Ang again.

With Li Ang's strong bones, Ma Long was really afraid that if he knocked down his elbow, Li Ang would be fine and he would dislocate his elbow.

After competing with Li Ang in the past three years, it can be said that Ma Long's reputation has been ruined.

The name of the undefeated god of war has been wiped out.

Now, only basketball can save him.

When it comes to fighting, Ma Long knows he can't beat Li Ang. But when it comes to playing basketball, Ma Long is still very confident.

What's more, Kirilenko guarded him so awkwardly today.

Malone is bound to win back a victory in the duel with Li Ang today!

The second quarter of the game officially started, and with the help of Carlisle, Li Ang had calmed down a lot.

In this round, after Stockton and Malone exchanged a pick-and-roll, Malone's rebound was still just a feint.

Stockton didn't give the ball to Malone, but hit it to Kirilenko.

Kirilenko had already shaken off Michael Curry and dunked with both hands before Ben could react.

Kirilenko, who plays with confidence, is now not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end.

Kirilenko's dunk gave the Jazz a two-point lead. Combined with his performance in the first quarter, it seemed that the Pistons, who had won nine consecutive victories today, would become his springboard.

Kirilenko beat his chest in celebration, showing off his domineering attitude.

After AK47 scored, the showdown between Li Ang and him in this round attracted even more attention.
