Chapter 226 The End of the Rookie Season

Ying Xiong's two consecutive mid-range shots made the Bucks fans on the scene start to cheer for him again, and the atmosphere on the scene became hot for a while.

Then the game went on for more than 1 minute, there was a dead ball on the sidelines, and Ying Xiong was replaced by Mbah a Moute to rest.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bucks fell behind 20:24.

As soon as the second quarter started, Villanueva began to show off.He shot inside and outside, scored consecutive points, and soon helped the team tie the score.The Magic also immediately requested a timeout!

After the timeout, the two sides fell into a tug of war, and it was not easy for each other to score.

When there were 2 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter, Ying Xiong came on to replace Mbah a Moute.

After Ying Xiong came on the field, he got an open 3-point opportunity as soon as he came up.It's just that he didn't have a good sense of 3-pointers in this game, and he didn't have any activities when he came up, so he didn't make a 3-pointer!

Pietrus scored a 3-pointer with a cover!
At 35:36, the Magic went ahead by 1 point!
On the Bucks side, Sessions made a successful foul, made 2 free throws, and continued to overtake!

The Magic attacked, and Pietrus wanted to repeat the same trick, and wanted to use the cover to shoot another 3 points.This time, Ying Xiong didn't let him get what he wanted, he followed closely and blocked in time, which seriously affected his shooting, and finally made a three-point shot.

Here Sessions continued to try to make a foul, but failed and was slapped out by Gortat.Charlie Bell at the top of the arc got the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong took advantage of the trend and then divided Charlie Bell. The latter got an open chance and hit a 3-pointer!
At 39:36, the Bucks led by 3 points!
Alston missed a jump shot, the rebound was grabbed by Ying Xiong, and he counterattacked directly. The frontcourt assisted Sessions and added 2 points for a quick layup.

At 41:36, the Bucks led by 5 points, but the Magic had just timed out before, so it was not good to call a timeout at this time.

The game continues.

The offensive ability of the players on the Magic team is really limited. Gortat and Batty on the inside are blue-collar workers, and Courtney Lee and others on the outside are role players without much ability to attack with the ball. "Streetball King" Alston dribbles like a ghost, but he is thinner, and it is too disadvantageous for him to rush in.

Courtney Lee missed a jumper with an emergency stop, and Ying Xiong got the rebound again. He continued to push and counterattack, but was stopped by a tactical foul by Pietrus.

Or the Bucks' offense.Ying Xiong got the ball from the outside, and with the help of Gadzuric's pick-and-roll, forced Gortat.

Gortat is tall and strong, a typical European big man, but the movement of his feet is a weakness, and he is embarrassed by Ying Xiong's continuous changes of direction.

Ying Xiong broke into the basket and made a layup even though he was pulled by Gota!

2+1!

Ying Xiong made an additional free throw, and the point difference was widened to 8 points. The Magic could only call a timeout again!
After the timeout, neither side made substitution adjustments.

Courtney Lee forced a breakthrough and finally got a foul.

Courtney Lee stepped to the free throw line and made 2 of 1 free throws, finally breaking the scoring drought.

At 44:37, the Bucks still lead by 7 points!
Sessions dribbles over, breaks through with the pick-and-roll, attracts a double-teamer and points to Yingxiong, who then points to Charlie Bell.

Charlie Bell returned the ball to Ying Xiong. Ying Xiong faced Pietrus, who was giving him a one-step shot from outside the 3-point line, and suddenly pulled up a 1-point shot-the ball finally hit!

The point difference has been widened to double digits!After Ying Xiong missed 3 points and 4 shots, he took the 5th shot and finally hit!

The fans at the scene got emotional and cheered for Yingxiong's 3 points.

The players of the Magic team were a little confused. Facing the noisy away environment, they didn't know what to do, and the frustration spread among each other.

In the next time, the Bucks completely grasped the situation on the court.Although Ying Xiong didn't score any more points, he grabbed both offensive rebounds and backcourt rebounds very well and aggressively.In addition, he also did a good job of passing the ball, allowing his teammates to get a lot of good opportunities.

半场结束，雄鹿队以52:40，领先对手12分。应雄9投4中，2罚2中，得到10分6篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽，没有出现1次失误，表现可谓相当出色。

In the second half of the game, the Bucks still had an obvious advantage on the court. Instead of being narrowed, the difference was widened.By the end of the third quarter, the direct difference between the two sides was close to 3 points.

Yingxiong was substituted with more than 3 minutes left in the third quarter, and then was replaced on the court at the beginning of the last quarter.As a result, he led the rotation lineup, played a wave of climax, and instantly widened the point difference to 3 points. At this point, the game entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

Ying Xiong was replaced before the garbage time, won the applause of the fans, and announced that he would no longer play.

The Bucks easily defeated the Magic at home and ushered in a two-game winning streak.

应雄本场比赛创造了自己一个新的记录。他登场30分钟，创造了自己NBA职业生涯常规赛的记录。此外，他11投5中，罚球4罚4中得到15分10个篮板5个助攻2个抢断1个封盖1个失误，连续第2场得到两位数的得分。他本场的10个篮板和5个助攻也创造了个人的新纪录。

Ying Xiong's performance in this game was first down and then up. Although his shooting percentage was not as good as the previous game, it made people see that he can also help the team with other skills when he has no touch.And this game was the first time he got a "double-double" in the regular season of his NBA career, and at the same time created another record of his own.

Having performed well in two consecutive games, Ying Xiong believes that even if he is traded during the offseason, he should be able to have a place in the new team.

The end of this game also officially announced that Ying Xiong's regular season games this season are all over.According to the previous team's arrangement, he will not play in the last game.Looking back on the regular season of this season, what left him with the greatest emotion was not that he was not reused, but the intensity of competition in the NBA.Here, if you don't work hard, no matter how talented a player is, he will soon disappear from everyone.

After the game, Yingxiong's fans began to criticize those who looked down on Yingxiong on the forum.Many American basketball media reporters began to praise Ying Xiong's prowess, asserting that if he gets enough opportunities to play next season, he may become an All-Star and so on...

As usual, Ying Xiong ignored the bottomless reports of some media.His own situation is clearest in his heart.To put it more bluntly, he doesn't think he has completely lifted the brand of "useless player".If you want to really get rid of it, you must play more outstanding performances.

On April 4, the Bucks lost 16:108 to the Pacers in an away game, officially ending all regular season games this season.

In the end, the Milwaukee Bucks ranked 34th in the Eastern Conference with 48 wins and 12 losses and missed the playoffs.Ying Xiong's first NBA rookie season has officially come to an end.

The 82-game regular season is finally over, and it's been such a long season.You know, Ying Xiong didn't play 82 games in total in the two seasons of the CBA.

After the end of the regular season, there will be a few days of rest until the start of the playoffs.The teams that enter the playoffs will prepare for the first round of the series, while the teams that miss the playoffs will start the "holiday mode" in advance.

Ying Xiong did not return to China immediately, but stayed in the United States to deal with some personal affairs.The season is over, and he has not made detailed plans and arrangements for the offseason, but only has a preliminary training plan.

Ying Xiong played a lot of times in the 82 regular season games, but his average playing time was not much.If it weren't for two consecutive starts at the end of the season, the average playing time per game would be even more shabby.What he cares about is not his scoring average, but his shooting percentage.Less than 45% of his 2-pointers and 30% of his 3-pointers are unacceptable to him.As an outside line, with this kind of shooting percentage, it is too difficult to get ahead in the NBA.So his initial training plan during the offseason is to practice shooting, especially 3-pointers.

A week later, on April 4, the NBA officially announced the winners of the 23-2008 season Rookie of the Year and the list of the most recent rookie lineup.

The rookie of the season was the No. [-] pick of the Chicago Bulls from the East-Derrick Rose.

Derrick Rose averaged 16.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game this season. The season entered the playoffs with a record of 33 wins and 49 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference.Rose's outstanding performance is one of the important reasons why the Bulls have made great progress, and it is also an important weight for him to win the best rookie of the season.

The winners of the All-Rookie First Team are: Michael Beasley, Russell Westbrook, Brook Lopez, OJ Mayo, Derrick Rose;
The best rookie second team is: Mario Chalmers, Marc Gasol, Eric Gordon, Kevin Love, DJ Augustin.

——In the best rookie team, there is no Ying Xiong's name.

Ying Xiong himself was not surprised by this result.No matter whether it is statistics or team record, I can't show it.Compared with those players in the best team, although I have too few opportunities, there is still a long way to go.
