Chapter 224 The Disappearing 3-Point Ball
Before the game, a reporter wrote an article on the Internet, saying that this game is the touchstone for Bucks rookie Yingxiong.Although Turkoglu will not play, Michael Pietrus, known as "French Jordan", will start a matchup with Ying Xiong.

The article stated that Pietrus has excellent physical fitness and strong defensive ability, and is a very tough role player.After all, Durant in the last game, as the core of the team, would not really pull down and play with Ying Xiong's body, so Ying Xiong played so efficiently.And Pietrus is different, his defense is serious and extremely dedicated, which will definitely make the rookie in Asia suffer.

Here, the game has begun.Gadzuric beat Gortat with a jump ball, and Charlie Bell got the ball and gave Sessions the push.

Ying Xiong ran to the front field and ambushed on the flanks, waiting for the opportunity to come.

With the help of Gadzuric's pick-and-roll, Sessions broke through with the ball. After failing, he passed the ball to Mbah a Moute for transition, and asked for the ball back again. Singles, emergency stop jumper-missed!
From Sessions' point of view, he is the absolute core of the team's five players, so it is natural for everyone to attack with him as the center.

Here Courtney Lee also missed a jumper.Ying Xiong caught the strong Pietrus and took the rebound!

Sessions pushed forward and made another dribble breakthrough of his own, but was double-teamed by his opponent. There was not much time left, so he had no choice but to pass the ball to Ying Xiong who was outside the 45-degree 3-point line on the right wing.

After Ying Xiong received the ball, he had no time to do other offensive moves. Against Pietrus, who was flying over, he made a 3-point shot—knocking out of the box!

The fans at the scene made a sound of regret.

Ying Xiong was also very depressed. He didn't know what the hell was going on with Sessions. He didn't pass it on a long time ago, but he waited until the 24 seconds were approaching to pass it on.But the problem is that I am not in the vacancy!Moreover, my own 3-pointers are inherently unstable, and it is better to shoot open positions. If you shoot against someone, the hit rate can only depend on the sky!
For Pietrus, Ying Xiong also felt a little apprehensive.Just now, it was clear that the opponent had already gone to help defend, why did he move so fast and come back all of a sudden to interfere with his 3-point shot?

Ying Xiong shook his head, thinking that he didn't need to think wildly, if he couldn't even fight against Pietrus, wouldn't it be true that those who saw him clearly said that "Ying Xiong's last game was a flash in the pan!"

Here Tony Batty made a tough layup from the basket!The Magic are playing a twin-tower lineup, with two big centers above 211cm inside; while the Bucks are playing "one big and four small". Mbah a Moute, who plays the 4th position, is only 198cm tall, so mini. Insider.

0:2, the away game Magic opened first.

On the Bucks side, Gadzuric wanted to return one to the basket, but was interfered by the opponent's twin towers and missed the hook!
Pietrus was still on the outside and Yingxiong had no ball to fight for position, but he entered the inside in an instant and got a backcourt rebound.

Ying Xiong still admires this energetic "French Jordan".Positive, is an excellent quality of a professional player.

On the Magic side, the purpose of the offense is very clear, which is to play inside. Even if the 211cm Tony Batty is not good at offense in his career, he is still an NBA-level insider anyway.The rookie Mbah a Moute, who is 198cm strong, has such a huge dislocation advantage. If he does not play, he is stupid, and the coach is not stupid!

— After all, not everyone is Barkley!
But this time Tony Batty missed.Although Mbah a Moute is a rookie, but the basic skills of defense is very good.He withstood the opponent's bottom plate very well, confronted the opponent, and made the opponent's shot reluctant.

Batty is not an offensive master either, and he has never been the main offensive player in the team in his career, so once the opponent stepped up his confrontation, his shooting style changed a little this time, and he missed!
Gadzuric received the rebound and gave it to Sessions to advance.

Ying Xiong stood in the bottom corner, waiting for an opportunity.This time the opportunity was good. Pietrus, who was defending himself, went to help defend Sessions, who was breaking through, and relaxed his vigilance against him.Sessions, who broke through and attracted the pincers, also took aim at Ying Xiong who was open in the bottom corner from the corner of his eye, so he didn't choose to force him, but passed the ball in time.

Ying Xiong received the ball, a very good opportunity to open.Even though Pietrus's feet move very quickly, no matter how fast a person runs, he cannot keep up with the speed of the ball after all.

Ying Xiong made a 3-point shot decisively and calmly, and the shot felt good! ——The fans at the scene were all staring at the ball, expecting something to happen.

It just felt good, but it turned out to be a pity that the ball hit the front frame and bounced out.

But the ball turned out to be impartial, and flew towards Yingxiong again.Pietrus was quite active, and rushed over to grab a rebound, but missed.

Ying Xiong got the ball very cleverly. After getting the ball, although Ars next to him passed to make up the defense, he still gave him a certain chance to make a move.The chance for the ball was good, and he didn't believe in evil, and made another 3-point shot-still missed!
This time, Pietrus didn't let the rebound slip away and grabbed the ball.

"Alas—" Not only Ying Xiong sighed, but even the fans at the scene felt regretful.Is Ying Xiong really a flash in the pan player?The fans don't want to believe this guess, but this handsome Chinese guy on the field has missed three consecutive 3-pointers!

The Magic still played inside, and Tony Batty seized the opportunity this time, causing a foul by Mbah a Moute under the basket.

In the next 2 minutes, the Magic will focus on the inside, while the Bucks will rely on Sessions' inward and outward shots to score points.

Ying Xiong didn't make another shot during this period and contributed a steal.

The Bucks requested a timeout from the sidelines.

After the timeout, the Bucks replaced Mbah a Moute with Elson and played in the regular lineup. Mbah a Moute is indeed at a disadvantage against the opponent's Twin Towers on the court.

The Magic also adjusted quickly, and immediately focused on the outside.Tony Batty's misplacement is okay, and it really makes him hit the opponent's big man with a single eye. His offensive skills are still not enough.

Alston did not find a chance to break through, so he assigned it to the weak side Pietrus, and let him play singles.

From the outside, one of them is black and strong, the other is white and thin, they are not at the same level of strength at all.But Bucks fans still have confidence in Xiong's physical fitness. You know, in the last game, he almost succeeded in dunking Durant!In one-on-one defense, he also defended Durant many times.That's Kevin Durant!Could it be that Pietrus' singles ability is stronger than Durant?

Pietrus' offensive skills, of course, can not be compared with Durant.But also as a wing player, he is not weak at all in terms of physical strength.

Facing the opponent, Pietrus took a tentative step and saw that the opponent did not respond, so he directly changed his direction and took the ball with his right hand.He doesn't have many offensive methods, but his style of play is relatively simple, not fancy, and he pursues effectiveness.
