Chapter 195 Marksman

The game between the Bucks and the Jazz started amid the cheers of Salt Lake City fans.Not long after the start of the first quarter, the Bucks fell behind their opponents.Since the team's two major starting scoring points were injured, they have fallen behind in the first quarter in many games due to weak offense.

Richard Jefferson is still the most stable scoring point for the Bucks. If it weren't for his consecutive hits in the first quarter, the team would probably be opened by the opponent.

Ying Xiong didn't replace Richard Jefferson until 1 minute and 23 seconds left in the first quarter.Coach Skiles entrusted him with the task of entangled the opponent's marksman - Kyle Korver.

Ying Xiong is no stranger to Korver.As early as the Philadelphia 76 team, Korver, with flowing blond hair, followed Allen Iverson.At that time, he was already a very good 3-point shooter.

Korver is not only a good 3-pointer, but also a very good team player.On the defensive end, he is limited by his physical condition, but his defensive attitude is extremely active and serious.

The Jazz attacked, and Ronnie Price organized at the top of the arc.Ying Xiong clings to Korver standing near the corner.

Ying Xiong knew very well how dangerous the player he was defending would be if he was given an open space.In fact, for a shooter like Korver to open him outside the 3-point line, the threat is far higher than most outside stars.

Korver is so accurate!

Ying Xiong studied Korver's off-ball running position through video, catches the ball and shoots 3 points.Korver's off-the-ball running position is very accurate, and he not only has a high hit rate but also fast speed when he catches and shoots 3-pointers.Just give him a little space and opportunity and he can make you pay for it.

Ying Xiong didn't want to be Korver's background board, so he put up 12 points and started to guard against the opponent when he was standing.

Korver suddenly started from the baseline and ran quickly in a 45-degree direction.His running speed is so fast, it's unbelievable.It is unimaginable that he ran at this speed to catch the ball and still make a jump shot. This has to be said to be a stunt.

Ying Xiong followed closely, his speed was very fast, and he was not completely thrown away by Korver.

Ronnie Price seized the opportunity and quickly passed the ball to Korver who ran out.Korver received the ball and stopped for a while, just about to jump up and shoot a 3-pointer. The shooter's intuition told him that he was not completely in the point guard at this time, and he smelled danger.

Korver feinted a shot, but Ying Xiong didn't take it seriously.In fact, it wasn't that he was not afraid of Korver's shooting threat, but that he didn't believe that he could still shoot a 3-point jumper after the opponent rushed to catch the ball just now.

Korver didn't shake Yingxiong, and was stuck by the opponent, so he could only pass the ball to Kirilenko near the free throw line.

Korver is the top shooter in the league, whether it is off the ball or open shots, they are all top.However, as a pure pitcher, he has poor offensive ability with the ball, and basically cannot hold the ball one-on-one to overwhelm opponents.

Of course, as a role player, you can't ask for so much. After all, not every shooter is Ray Allen's type.

Kirilenko missed a jumper, and the rebound was taken by Crohill of the Bucks and handed over to Sessions to advance.

Almost all of the offense in the Bucks' rotation is in the hands of Sessions.Sessions used the pick-and-roll to pass the ball to Crohill, who was running down. The latter did not make a strong shot after encountering a block in the paint, and immediately passed it to Ying Xiong on the outside.

Ying Xiong likes this white insider very much. He doesn't stick to the ball and has a certain passing vision.He's given himself quite a few passes since the two came off the bench together.

After Ying Xiong received the ball, facing Kirilenko's defense, he made a fake move to break through to the right, and in the gap of the opponent's stupefaction, he instantly moved his left hand.

Ying Xiong used his speed to rush near the paint, attracting Paul Millsap's defense.At this time, he was flanked by the two Jazz titans, and he did not choose to force a layup, but gave it to Crosher on the right side of the paint after a jump.The latter made a small throw at the basket after getting the ball.

On the Jazz's side, Millsap also succeeded in attacking under the basket.

Here, Sessions missed a jumper and Ying Xiong fouled with a rebound.Due to the number of fouls, Kirilenko was sent to the free throw line.

"AK47" Kirilenko made two free throws.

On the last attack of the Bucks, Sessions was blocked by Kirilenko for a layup, and the first quarter ended.

In the second quarter, Ying Xiong was still on the field.Ronnie Price dribbles the ball to Millsap up high.With the help of Kirilenko's cover, Korver slowed down some Yingxiong's pursuit speed. After receiving the pass at the top of the arc without slowing down, Korver jumped up directly, adjusted his body position under control, and then shot quickly. ——The whole movement is very smooth, done in one go, as precise as a machine.

Hit!Korver hit a 3-pointer!
After hitting a 3-pointer, Korver is not as exaggerated as some players, doing a lot of celebratory actions.He looked very calm, as if nothing had happened, his expression was as calm as ever.

Sessions dribbles over and picks and rolls with Crozier, who continues to pass the ball to Yingxiong in the left corner.

After Ying Xiong received the pass, he made a cross step towards Kirilenko.Kirilenko moved very fast and was not easy to get rid of. He still controlled and defended around him.

Ying Xiong rushed to the free throw line, suddenly made an emergency stop and then took a step back, dodged some space, and then shot a jumper...

As Nacheng thought, Kirilenko jumped high, stretched out his long arms, and blocked the jump shot.

Ying Xiong secretly yelled "Oops", reacted quickly, and immediately jumped up to grab the ball.The ball was snatched by him, he broke through again, changed direction to his left hand, jumped into the air and changed his right hand for a layup, and was hit directly on the head by Matt Harprin.

After landing, Ying Xiong managed to stand still, shook his head, thinking that this NBA basketball player is really strong, if he does this a few times, he will have to go to the hospital.

Ying Xiong walked up to the free throw line. He didn't know if he was a little dizzy after being hit by Harprin, but he missed the first free throw anyway.Fortunately, he adjusted in time and made the second free throw.

Ronnie Price dribbles over and continues to organize the offense at the top of the arc.Korver continued to use the screen to run open.This time, Ying Xiong learned the lesson from last time, squeezed and dodged the cover forcefully, not letting his speed of chasing the opponent slow down, so that the opponent got a chance to get a wide open.

Korver was chased so closely by Ying Xiong, and he still got an open chance for a moment. I saw that he didn't stop after receiving the ball, and jumped up directly, like a shooting machine, turning around, raising his hand, and dialing the ball precisely... …There is almost no unnecessary movement, no distracting thoughts in his mind, he seems to be born for shooting.

Ying Xiong was a little out of reach, and in a hurry, he hit Korver's hand.

"Beep--" The referee's whistle sounded, it was a shooting foul, and it was a 3-point shooting foul.
