Chapter 177 An Embarrassing Performance

Ying Xiong scored 2 points through free throws. On the defensive end, he was still very relaxed, because Devin George didn't have much possession of the ball.

Here Terry passed the screen and made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.Turning around, Sessions wanted to return the shot, but was rejected by the basket... The rebound was grabbed by George through a strong block, and Ying Xiong countered the foul.

At this time, there were 15 seconds left in the first quarter, and the Bucks still had only 3 fouls at this time, which had not yet reached the point where fouls were free throws, so Ying Xiong's foul did not let George go to the free throw line.In fact, the two teams only fouled 5 times in the first quarter, which shows how low the defensive intensity of this preseason game is...

On the last attack, as Gerald Green missed a fallback jumper, the first quarter ended.

In the second quarter, Ying Xiong was not replaced, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.The Bucks have switched point guard from Sessions to Tyronn Lue, with Malik Allen replacing Mbah a Moute.

Ying Xiong is still playing the small forward position, and the defense is still Devin George in the first quarter.Tyronn Lue has become famous since he successfully defended Allen Iverson in the 2001 Finals. For a while, he became the target of various teams.In fact, his personal strength is very limited, even more incomparable with Iverson, so he soon became a wandering player in the league.

Tyronn Lue is a player with high emotional intelligence and is good at handling interpersonal relationships, so no matter which team he goes to, he will get along well with the player and coach.He only joined the Bucks this summer, but he is already familiar with the team.

Tai Lue scored with the ball, and Ying Xiong received the ball in the left corner, which surprised and excited him.I saw him make a shot feint.But George in front of him was not fooled, he was not shaken up, and he didn't hit the ball.

Ying Xiong saw that the opponent didn't jump, and didn't choose to face the strong shot, so he made a fake move of protruding from the bottom line, and then suddenly started to walk on the line.

George was stunned for a moment, and since his footsteps were indeed not as fast as Ying Xiong's, he slowed down by a step, and Ying Xiong took most of his body.Fortunately, his body is strong, unless the opponent uses a change of direction or speed up, it is not easy to get rid of him all at once.

Ying Xiong walked up the line and suddenly changed direction and walked to the left.Wherever George could keep up, he was flashed by.The other players of the Mavericks didn't take the yellow-skinned rookie too seriously, and they didn't help defend him, allowing him to burst into the penalty area.

Ying Xiong didn't expect that the opponent would not help him defend, and he was a little surprised.But this is not the time to think about it. He faces the opponent's center Diop and forces a layup with his left hand.

Unexpectedly, this Diop was also a stubborn stubble, and he didn't put on a show, but slapped Ying Xiong off his head and dribbled the ball.What made Ying Xiong even more unbelievable was that the referee was unmoved and signaled for the game to proceed.

Ying Xiong got up from the ground and questioned the referee speechlessly, but was ignored by the other party...

As a result, the Mavericks played more and less in the frontcourt. George received an assist from Terry and made a mid-range hit!As a result, one back and one loss of 4 points.

Ying Xiong suddenly became angry, and immediately opened the hidden attribute and buffed it.Here Tyronn Lue and his teammates cooperated, but did not organize a decent offense, because the attack time was not much, so it was assigned to Ying Xiong at 45 degrees on the left.

When Ying Xiong received the ball from Tai Lue, the attack time was only 2.1 seconds.He couldn't allow him to think about whether the next step was to break through or shoot, so he had to make a shot... Of course the ball was not shot, and the long rebound was taken by Brandon Bass and handed over to Terry to advance.

Terry advanced quickly with the ball, Ying Xiong chased back, but when the opponent made a layup, he failed to control his footsteps and knocked the opponent out of the baseline...

The Mavericks sent the ball out of bounds, Terry missed a jumper after holding the ball in a pick-and-roll, and Ying Xiong got the rebound.

Ying Xiong counterattacked quickly with the ball, rushed to the basket and was blocked for a layup, got the ball and was cut off by Terry...

Looking back, Ying Xiong helped prevent fouls...

Bucks coach Skiles requested a timeout!Back from the timeout, Ying Xiong was replaced by Richard Jefferson.

After Ying Xiong was replaced, he covered his head with a towel, and outsiders didn't know what he was thinking.He knew he wasn't playing well, even very badly.Because I didn't get the whistle for that layup, my mentality was a little out of balance, which made continuous mistakes on both offensive and defensive ends...

For the rest of the second quarter, Ying Xiong was not replaced.As a result, at the end of the first half, the Bucks fell behind their opponents by 18 points.Yingxiong made 2 of 0 shots in the first half, scored 2 points through free throws, and also had 2 rebounds, 2 fouls and 1 turnover.

In the third quarter of the game, Ying Xiong was not sent by the coach to play.It wasn't until the second half of the 3th quarter that the point difference had exceeded 4 points before he was replaced, leaving 20 minutes of garbage time.As a result, he made 4 of 4 shots in these 4 points, only relied on free throws to get 0 point, and the number of personal fouls reached 1 times.

最终，主场作战的密尔沃基雄鹿队以26分的巨大劣势输给了达拉斯小牛队，迎来了季前赛的3连败。应雄本场比赛替补上场12分钟，得到3分3篮板2助攻4犯规2失误，投篮命中率是尴尬的“6投0中”！
After this game, Ying Xiong began to re-examine himself, no longer obsessed with playing time and possession of the ball.Because he knew that with his playing performance, he really didn't deserve a lot of playing time.My own NBA journey has been in a difficult situation from the beginning.

而和他形成鲜明对比的，是上一场12投1中的巴莫特本场6投3中，罚球4罚4中得到10分7个篮板。当然巴莫特的上场时间也达到了33分钟，但对于一个2轮秀来说，能够在一支球队找到位置，就已经是成功了。

Seeing Mbah a Moute gradually gaining the trust of the head coach and getting more and more stable on the road of blue-collar perimeter, Ying Xiong can't help but feel a little disappointed that he has not even settled on the field position in the team.

The next preseason game is back-to-back against the Detroit Pistons that they played before.This is also the first time that Ying Xiong played back-to-back games. In the CBA before, due to the small number of teams and games, there were no back-to-back games, at least every other day.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Bucks is the same as the previous game. The team boss Michael Reid is still absent. Instead, Mbah a Moute, who performed well in the previous game, started the game; and the point guard who also performed well in the previous game Luc Crednour is still starting.The Detroit Pistons' starting lineup is the same as it was when the two teams first met.

In this game, Ying Xiong got 13 minutes of playing time.Like the last game, he still didn't gain the trust of his teammates, and only a handful of balls were passed to him.However, he didn't take many shots. He only took one shot in the whole game, and he didn't make a hit yet.He put in a lot of energy on the defensive end, but was pegged by the referee and eventually left the field with 1 fouls.

In the end, the Bucks lost 99:111 to the visiting Pistons at home, ushering in a 4-game losing streak in the preseason.Ying Xiong came off the bench for 13 minutes, did not score, grabbed 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and left the game with 6 fouls.
