Chapter 121 Three-game losing streak

Regarding Ying Xiong's consecutive absence from the games against Fujian and Guangdong teams, many people with ulterior motives on the Internet ridiculed Ying Xiong for being injured because he did not want to play in the game where he was "double-killed" by the nemesis Fujian team and defeated by the mighty Guangdong team.They ridiculed Ying Xiong's "glass heart", weak heart, and a "dou-style" character who is strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

Ying Xiong doesn't go to the forum very much, so he naturally doesn't know how others evaluate him.But his fans stopped doing it, arguing with these Hei Yingxiong people online, arguing upside down.For a time, Ying Xiong's popularity reached an unprecedented height.

Due to the absence of Ying Xiong, the Guangdong team, with the right time and place, beat the Guangsha team with 14 consecutive victories and ushered in 15 consecutive victories.Rodney White of the Guangsha team scored a game-high 35 points, but still could not prevent the team from losing.

After this game, the Guangdong team surpassed the Guangsha team (19 wins and 3 losses) with a record of 18 wins and 4 losses, and climbed to the top of the league standings.The Guangdong team and the Guangsha team also locked their places in the playoffs ahead of schedule.

Even if they lost the top position in the standings, even if the winning streak that created the team's historical record was suspended, the management of the Guangsha team remained calm.In their view, none of this has much practical significance.At this time, the team's goal is no longer to compete for tickets to the playoffs, nor to win consecutive games, nor to win the regular season championship.If Yingxiong remains healthy, the management believes that the team can go further in the playoffs.

The playoffs are the goal of the Guangsha team this season.To achieve this goal, Ying Xiong is the core figure.Based on the long-term, not to destroy the plan for the gains and losses of one or two games, this is the wisdom of the Guangsha team management.

Of course, for the management of the Guangsha team, in this way, it is also a statement to Yingxiong: the team is willing to use him as the core, at the expense of the record, and does not take his health as a risky bet.In this way, in the summer after the end of the season, in the battle for Yingxiong, the team can get more favorability points.

In the Guangsha team's trip to Lingnan, there is the last opponent left-Dongguan team.An away game against the Dongguan team is not easy for the Guangsha team, which lacks the core Yingxiong.Dongguan team's home record is very good, but the away game is very average.In this campaign at home, I naturally hope to defend the home field and give the visiting Guangsha team a blow.

Yingxiong participated in the team's training, but was still told that he would not play in the match against Dongguan.

Ying Xiong was depressed, but he understood the team's decision.I am in a hurry, isn't the team in a hurry?If they lose this game, the team will usher in its first 3-game losing streak this season, and its record will also lead Team J to overtake and drop to third place in the standings.This is a huge blow to the confidence of the Dark Horse Army, which has won 16 consecutive victories this season.

The match against Dongguan was strikingly similar to the last match against Guangdong.Rodney White was still unstoppable and scored the highest score in the game, but the opponent Dongguan team scored in double figures with 5 players. Coupled with the huge advantage of rebounding, they easily defeated the visiting Guangsha team at home and gave the opponent a 3-game losing streak. .

After this game, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet about the huge contrast between the Guangsha team's 16-game winning streak and its current 3-game losing streak.Many people think that the Guangsha team does not have the temperament and toughness of a traditional strong team like the Guangdong team. They will not play if they fall behind, and they rely too much on foreign aid.However, many people pointed out that the opponents of Guangsha's 3-game losing streak this time are very strong, including consecutive away games against "tough bones" such as Guangdong and Dongguan.In the CBA league, there are almost no teams that can survive the Lingnan road trip.

No matter whether it is in the media or on the Internet, the evaluation of Ying Xiong was much higher than before during the period when he was out due to injury.Everyone has to admit that Ying Xiong's absence is one of the important reasons for the Guangsha team's 3-game losing streak.If the Guangsha team is going to go far this season, Ying Xiong's performance is very crucial!

Of course, this 3-game losing streak, for the Guangsha team, the outstanding performance of the new foreign aid Rodney White is the team's biggest gain.The team's previous expectation for White was to hope that he could reach the level of general foreign aid in the CBA-just not to hold back.Now his outstanding performance has exceeded the team's expectations and has become an unexpected gain.

Although Ying Xiong has been recovering from his ankle injury, he has not stopped training.He has been working on post-ups and 3-point shooting with trainers.

On December 12, the Guangsha team, which had lost three games in a row, returned home to face the Shanxi team, which was at the bottom of the league.For Guangsha, which has lost 21 games in a row, the home game against Shanxi is the best time to end the losing streak.Before the start of the game, head coach Wang Fei announced that Ying Xiong would return and start the game.

The return of Ying Xiong injected a boost to the team. We must know that the team's combat effectiveness and sense of energy during the 3-game losing streak were very weak.

The seats at home in Guangsha have already been filled by excited fans.The Guangsha team has an outstanding record this season, has a good style of play, and has a young genius like Ying Xiong. It is also reasonable that the ball market is hot.And Ying Xiong, who has been sidelined for 3 games in this game, will return, which is undoubtedly great news for fans.

During the shooting practice before the game, Ying Xiong's appearance made the fans cheer for him.For the home fans of Guangsha, Ying Xiong is like his own son, and they have unlimited hopes for him.

As the start time approached, the starters from both sides came on the field.The starting lineup of the Shanxi team in the away game is: Wang Sizhang, Sun Chunlei, Zhang Xuewen, Yu Xuelin, Meijie Wengert; the starting lineup of the Guangsha team in the home game is: Yu Junkai, Li Meng, Zhang Nan, Ying Xiong, thompson.

After the game started, the Guangsha team took possession of the ball first.When Ying Xiong received a pass from Yu Junkai and dribbled the ball for halftime, there were enthusiastic cheers at the scene.

Ying Xiong was also very excited. He didn't play in 3 games, which made him feel very itchy and uncomfortable.The comeback of this game is bound to release the accumulated energy together.

The Shanxi team sent Zhang Xuewen, who is 201cm tall and has outstanding physical fitness, to defend Ying Xiong.Ying Xiong held the ball to the top of the arc on the right, facing Zhang Xuewen's defense, did not pass it to Yu Junkai who came out to catch the ball, and did not call for a screen.

Ying Xiong broke into the 3-point line with the ball, and Sun Chunlei, who came to help defend with a light dribble behind his back, faced the opponent's foreign aid Major Wengert and fought hard for a layup...

The ball is in!
"Beep beep——" the referee's whistle sounded, and Ying Xiong made an offensive foul!
……

Ying Xiong didn't argue, and pulled up Major Wengert who was knocked down by him with a smile, and ran back to his own half to defend with a smile.

The fans at the scene quit. It was such a beautiful 2+1 goal, but it was called an offensive foul by the blind referee.They started booing the referee to protest the referee's decision.

However, for the coaching staff of the Guangsha team and some rational fans, they were very happy to see Ying Xiong's extraordinary and tough layup just now.This proves that his physical condition is very good, and his movement speed and explosive power have not been affected by the ankle injury.
