Chapter 191 First Technical Foul

Ying Xiong sat on the bench, watching his teammates compete fiercely with the Cavaliers on the field, standing up from time to time to cheer for his teammates.He has been watching NBA games on TV before, and he feels that LeBron James has good physical fitness, fast speed and good bounce.But when he watched the game at close range from the sidelines, he found that James' physical fitness was not only good, but abnormal. With a height of 203cm, he is faster than a defender, and his jumping and explosive power allow him to break into the penalty area easily.His strong body makes him feel like no one in the penalty area.

Ying Xiong also found that many domestic fans were complaining about James playing only with his body.He didn't take it seriously.He believes that James' dribbling ability, passing vision, athletic talent and finishing ability at the basket are all at the top level in the same position.

In his opinion, James is essentially a giant point guard with steel and iron bones!

Of course, Ying Xiong believes that James is not without shortcomings.Compared with his breakthrough ability, his shooting ability is relatively average, and shooting depends on rhythm, and the catch shot and emergency stop jump shot are not good enough.I also didn't see excellent low post singles and precise and efficient off-ball moves.

However, he believes that with James' talent and his current skills and abilities alone, he is already at the top level of the league.

The starting lineup of the Bucks performed well in this game. Richard Jefferson was also selected as an All-Star and participated in the dunk contest. He is also a small forward with a tough style and hot physique in the league.But even so, he still couldn't stop James.

Ying Xiong was looking forward to the fact that coach Skiles could send him on the court to try to defend James, but he didn't wait for this opportunity until the end of the first half.

The second half started.Yingxiong got the chance to play until 3 seconds left in the third quarter.As a result, he went on the field to defend for a round, and the opponent missed the last attack.

From the final quarter until the end of the game, Ying Xiong didn't get a chance to play.

In the end, the Bucks narrowly lost the Cavaliers away and ushered in a wave of 3-game losing streak.LeBron James scored a game-high 41 points and became the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

After the game, James was interviewed by reporters. Ying Xiong took a look and left the court silently.He knew that the current self, let alone James, couldn't even make an ordinary substitute rotation.I don't know when I can really get my own opportunity, it seems that I can only let time give myself the answer.

After the Bucks played the away game against the Cavaliers, they returned home to face the league's powerful Spurs back-to-back.

The San Antonio Spurs are a special existence in the entire NBA league. Under the leadership of Popovich, this small ball market team has won NBA championships many times.

In this game, only Duncan played in the "GDP" of the Spurs. Parker and Ginobili were unable to play due to various reasons.

The starting lineup of the Spurs is: Center - Fabricio Oberto, Power Forward - Tim Duncan, Small Forward - Amy Udoka, Shooting Guard - Roger Mason, Point Guard - George Shea you.

The starting lineup of the Bucks at home is the same as the previous game.Team boss Michael Reid is still out due to injury.

After the start of the game, even though the Spurs lost Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, they were still superior in terms of overall coordination and tactics.They have maintained their scoring lead over the Bucks.

With 2 minutes and 32 seconds left in the first quarter, Ying Xiong was replaced by head coach Skiles.He will face the defensive champion-Bruce Bowen.

The Spurs attack.Ying Xiong defended Bowen very closely. He knew that the opponent's main offensive method was outside shooting, especially shooting 3-pointers, so he began to strictly defend the opponent from the off-ball stage.

Bowen is an old veteran in the NBA. Whether it is offense or defense, he has a lot of small moves.For a player like him, talent is limited, and if he wants to survive in the NBA, he naturally has his own way of survival.

When Ying Xiong was defending against Bo Wen, he felt that the opponent used concealed movements to give him a small elbow from time to time, giving him some dark energy, making him annoyed and losing his mind.

Bowen didn't have much role on the offensive end. When his teammates saw that he was being defended and couldn't get out of the open space, they didn't pass the ball to him.However, he doesn't seem to care about whether there is an offensive opportunity at all, and he still moves with a deadpan expression to help his teammates cover.

It's the Bucks' turn to attack.Ying Xiong was also defended by Bowen when he was off the ball.Bowen's defensive moves are not as disciplined as his.

I saw that when Bowen was defending without the ball, he kept making small moves and frequently used physical contact to give Ying Xiong dirty tricks.

When Ying Xiong got the ball, Bowen used his knees to push the ball secretly while he was defending, and he reached out for the ball from time to time. Even if he couldn't get the ball, he would hit Ying Xiong's arm.

Finally, Ying Xiong got angry from his heart and forced a breakthrough with the ball. With an inconspicuous additional movement of his left elbow, he hit Bowen's chest.And he is also very good at acting, taking advantage of the situation and falling backwards, flying 3 meters away in an extremely exaggerated manner.

The referee didn't care so much. He knew that Bo Wen was acting, but Ying Xiong did have redundant hand movements.So he decisively gave Ying Xiong a T!

This is Ying Xiong's first technical foul in the NBA regular season!
Ying Xiong tried his best to explain that the opponent was acting, but the referee ignored the yellow-skinned rookie's explanation and insisted on giving a technical foul.In the eyes of the referee, a rookie from Asia, who is not aimed at you?

Bucks coach Skiles had a gloomy face and decisively replaced Ying Xiong.

In the subsequent games, until the end of the game, Ying Xiong was not replaced.

In this way, Ying Xiong only played less than 1 minute in this game and got a technical foul. All other statistics were 0!He was also personally taught by the defensive champion Bruce Bowen in this game, which is not without gains.

In the end, the Bucks reversed and beat the Spurs at home, ending their 3-game losing streak.

After the game, Ying Xiong has been watching the replay video of himself and Bruce Bowen facing each other, carefully analyzing and trying to learn lessons.Although he was annoyed, he knew very well that although such an experience was embarrassing, it could bring him good results.

Two days later, Ying Xiong did not play in the Bucks' away game against the Grizzlies.In the second back-to-back clash with the Celtics this season, he still didn't get a chance to play.

Ying Xiong didn't know if it was because of his technical foul in the game against the Spurs that he didn't get the chance to play, but he couldn't get the answer because the head coach wouldn't tell him the reason.

Ying Xiong did not get a chance to play in two consecutive games, and the team did not announce his injury. In other words, he was not injured, but was DNP by the coach.As a result, whether it is the basketball media or the fans, there is a lot of discussion about it.Everyone's consensus is that the team did not include Yingxiong in the team's long-term plan, otherwise he would not even be given a chance to play. You know, he is a rookie and needs playing time very much.
