Chapter 200 Garbage Time Derby

The two teams are not comparable, and one is in the East and the other is in the West.But the two teams have a very special thing in common this season-both teams have a player from China.

The one for the Bucks is naturally Ying Xiong, and the one for the Lakers is Sun Yue.

Sun Yue has been playing for the ABA Aoshen team in the United States before, and performed well. In April 2007, he was selected into the ABA First Team of the Year and became the first Chinese player to be selected into the first team of a foreign basketball league. . In the 4 draft, he was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 2007th overall pick in the second round.But he really entered the NBA this season, the Lakers signed a one-year two-year contract with him.

So Sun Yue participated in the draft in the same year as Yi Jianlian, but started his NBA career in the same year as Ying Xiong.

The keen and good Los Angeles basketball media reporter wrote an article on the website long before the game, saying that the two talented all-round backcourt players in China will start the "China Derby" at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles. There are many things to watch , Exciting and unusual.

As soon as similar news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions on the Internet.Most fans joked that it was a "Chinese Derby", and it was not certain whether these two all-round talents could play in the backcourt.

The news arouses topics and heated discussions, and the purpose is naturally achieved, regardless of the authenticity of the news itself, whether it is rational or not.Attracting the public's attention is an essential quality for a professional media writer.

There are many overseas Chinese and ethnic Chinese among the fans who came today.Of course, some of them came for Kobe, but most of them came to see the Chinese players of the two teams——Ying Xiong and Sun Yue.

Ying Xiong and Sun Yue no longer have status in their respective teams, and the blood flowing from them is also the blood of the Chinese people. If the overseas Chinese do not support them, who will they support?

Sun Yue and Ying Xiong can be regarded as difficult brothers, unable to enter the regular rotation in their respective teams.Sun Yue is a little bit better. In the powerful Lakers team and a favorite team for the championship, he was a second-round rookie and couldn't make the rotation in the first season.Moreover, the Lakers are strong, and they often have garbage time against weak teams, so he often has the opportunity to play; on the other hand, Yingxiong, who played for a marginal team in the playoffs with a high starting point as a lottery pick, has no chance to play.

The two have never met before, and they don't know each other, but they have gotten to know each other on TV, the Internet, magazines, and newspapers, so it is not considered that they have never met each other.

During the shooting practice before the game, the two smiled and hugged each other, holding hands and exchanging a few words.When going out, especially in the NBA, which is a "black and white" league, seeing a compatriot with the same skin color as myself naturally feels very cordial.

The two teams have inconsistent goals for the season, are not in the same division, and have no historical enmity. In addition, both teams have a Chinese player.So before the game started, it was a happy scene.

When the overseas Chinese in the stands saw Ying Xiong and Sun Yue, they excitedly greeted them in Chinese.They waved big slogans with Chinese characters in their hands, and some people held large posters of Ying Xiong and Sun Yue to support them.For them, the outcome of the game doesn't matter, as long as the two Chinese players can play, they are satisfied.

For the first time in Staples Center, so many posters have appeared in support of two drinking fountain players at once.

In this game, the Bucks' starting lineup made an adjustment. Malik Allen entered the starting lineup and Villanueva went to the bench.Other starters remain unchanged.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is: center - Andrew Bynum, power forward - Pau Gasol, small forward - Vladimir Radmanovic, shooting guard - Kobe Bryant, point guard — Derek Fisher.

The first quarter of the game started, the Lakers' "double high" Bynum and Gasol controlled the inside line, coupled with Kobe's personal super offensive power, they took the lead at the beginning.

The Bucks' slow start has lasted for N games. Their own strength is limited, and the start is still slow, which led to the whole game struggling to chase points.

At the end of the first half, the Lakers had a double-digit lead.Neither Ying Xiong nor Sun Yue got a chance to play.How much the overseas Chinese in the stands were looking forward to seeing them on the field. Seeing them sitting on the bench, they felt more anxious than them.Several Chinese friends shouted "Change Yingxiong" and "Change Sun Yue" at Staples, but the arena was too big, and their voices were instantly drowned in the sound waves.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Bucks were still behind, and the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.The strength gap between the two teams is obvious. The Lakers are playing at home.

Fans who want to watch Ying Xiong and Sun Yue's "China Derby" naturally hope that the game will be played in garbage time soon, so that they have a chance to play.

And the situation on the field seems to be developing in this direction. After 3 quarters, the Bucks have fallen behind by a full 20 points.If they fail to narrow the point difference at the beginning of the fourth quarter, this game will be over.

The coaches and players of the Bucks naturally don't want to be slaughtered by their opponents, but also want to hold back.In the first half of the final game, they bit the score and did not let the score increase again.But the problem is, you are the one behind, even if you bite the score, you are still behind by 20 points!If you want to have a chance of winning, you must win points.

The players of the Bucks worked very hard, but they were really weak.With 3 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game, the point difference was 21 points. Bucks coach Skiles finally gave up, removed the main force, replaced the substitute, and fired the shot.

The trailing side gave up, and the leading Lakers also withdrew their main players.At this point, the game entered garbage time.But for fans who want to watch the "China Derby", the real game has just begun.

At this time, the Lakers lineup is: Chris Mim, Josh Powell, Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic, Sun Yue.

The Bucks' field lineup is: Austin Crohill, Malik Allen, Damon Jones, Tyronn Lue, Ying Xiong.

The two teams basically sent all the drinking fountain players and marginal players who could be used on the field. For the two teams, this group of people on the field is the team's "third lineup", which is to avoid the main force and The main rotation is injured, and I go to the court to pass the time.

In NBA garbage time, the general situation is that no matter how good you perform, you can't change the coach's impression of you.Because it's garbage time, the two sides don't have much desire to compete, the defensive intensity is low, and the level of players is not good. Even if they perform well, so what?
