Chapter 196
3 fouls!Seeing the referee's gesture, Ying Xiong was very annoyed, regretting that he had thrown too hard just now and hit Korver's shooting hand.

Ying Xiong knows very well that for a shooter like Korver, taking 3 free throws is the same as giving away 3 points for nothing.

But before Korver made 3 free throws, Bucks coach Skiles sullenly called a timeout.

After seeing Skiles' expression, Ying Xiong already knew that he was about to be replaced.Moreover, in this game, it is impossible for him to have a chance to play.

Sure enough, when the timeout came back, Skiles let Richard Jefferson play.

Korver's free throws are as precise as a 3-pointer, as precise as a machine.His free throws barely touched the rim.

Ying Xiong sat on the bench, silently watching Korver on the field, while studying.

Sure enough, Ying Xiong's guess was exactly the same. After he left the field, he didn't play again until the end of the game.In fact, he has been in the team for a long time, and he also understands the temperament and coaching style of the team's coach to some extent.For Skiles, he seems to be extra harsh on Correspondence.His tolerance for Ying Xiong's mistakes is quite low.

But it's simply impossible for a rookie who doesn't have much playing time not to make mistakes.What's more, this rookie is still a foreign player, and he has never played an official game in the United States before.

For these, Ying Xiong accepted them frankly.He understands very well that, as himself from China, it is naturally much more difficult to create a space on this American continent than those natives.Of course, I also have my own advantages.In the far east, I have countless fans supporting me.

最终，主场作战的爵士队兵不血刃地击败了来访的雄鹿队，送给了对手3连败。应雄上场了不到3分钟，1投0中，2罚1中得到1分1助攻。

After the game, the head coaches of the two sides shook hands with each other, and the players of the two teams were familiar with each other and greeted each other.

Ying Xiong, who was sitting on the bench, walked through the crowd, went straight to the rest area of ​​the home team, and found Korver who was about to go back to the locker room.

"Hello, Kyle!" Ying Xiong stretched out his hand with a smile.

Korver was a little stunned at first, and recognized that it was a rookie in the opposing team, and the rookie had defended himself just now, and there was a smile on his face: "Hello!" He reached out and shook Ying Xiong.

"Kyle, I'm sorry to bother you, may I ask a few questions?" Ying Xiong said sincerely.

Korver was friendly, nodded with a smile and said, "Ask!"

Ying Xiong was very happy. Unexpectedly, Korver was such an approachable person, so he asked: "Kyle, your shooting is very good. Can you tell me what is the most important thing as a marksman?"

Korver smiled shyly and said, "Ah...you have a big problem. I personally think that the most important thing for a shooter is self-confidence and calmness. Confidence means believing in the results of your usual training, and being calm means that no matter what the game is, You have to be consistent in your shots on the most critical possessions."

Ying Xiong nodded and said, "What needs practice most when shooting 3-pointers is posture or strength?"

Korver said sternly: "It's all important. If the posture is not correct, the shooting percentage will be affected. Of course, there is no absolute standard posture, it is all relative. Find the shooting posture that suits you, and then stabilize it. Don't change it frequently. , and then practice more to form muscle memory. Strength is of course important. I think the most important thing in shooting is to practice the lower body, that is, the legs. Only when the lower body is stable can it be possible to jump in the air and maintain balance during the movement .Of course, a lot of practice is the most important thing!"

"Thank you, Kyle, thank you for telling me all this!" Ying Xiong said gratefully.

Korver smiled kindly: "You're welcome, remember to practice more!"

Ying Xiong thanked Korver again, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before breaking up and going back to their respective locker rooms.

For Xiong, the reason why he went to consult sharpshooter Korver face to face was that he had doubts when watching the videos of various sharpshooters in the league.Rather than thinking hard alone, it is more effective to consult a sharpshooter.And he didn't expect Korver to be so enthusiastic and kind, and communicating with him also gained a lot.

Two days later, after two Western Conference road trips, the Bucks returned home and will face the challenge of the Knicks.

However, before this game, the Knicks made two deals.They sent Jamal Crawford to the Warriors, Zach Randolph to the Clippers, and Marty Collins.

The Knicks got Al Harrington, "Old Cat" Mobley and Tim Thomas in these two deals.After sending away the two major scorers in the team, the Knicks have basically given up this season and emptied the salary space, only waiting to compete for big-name players such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in the free market.

In this game, the Knicks had only 7 rotations, and they were easily defeated by the Bucks at home.

应雄本场比赛上场了15分钟，4投1中，4罚3中得到5分5篮板2助攻1抢断。上场时间、篮板以及助攻均创造了生涯NBA常规赛的新纪录。

But for Ying Xiong, creating his own new record on the Knicks who has no desire to win is nothing to show off.

On the evening of the 23rd, the Bucks challenged the underdog Bobcats in back-to-back away games.Both Michael Reed and Villanueva remain sidelined due to injuries.

本场比赛，上一场比赛创造了登场时间生涯新纪录的应雄本场仅上场7分钟，2投0中，2罚全中得到2分3篮板1助攻1抢断。

Corresponding to Xiong, in the case of extensive injuries to the main players in the team, his playing time has not increased significantly. It can be seen that if Reid and Villanueva return, it is difficult for him to have a chance to play.

Two days later, the Bucks continued their away game, challenging the Orlando Magic, the Eastern powerhouse led by "Warcraft" Dwight Howard.

In this game, the Bucks team boss Michael Reid, who was truce due to injury, continued to miss.The main point guard Ridnour also declared a truce due to physical insufficiency.Sessions entered the starting lineup.However, the team also ushered in good news. The main power forward Villanueva will usher in a comeback. He will play off the bench in this game, but will be limited by playing time.

The starting lineup of the Orlando Magic at home is: center - Dwight Howard, power forward - Rashard Lewis, small forward - Hido Turkoglu, shooting guard - Michael Pietrus, point guard - — Jameer Nelson.
