Chapter 259 Offensive Offense
Ying Xiong seldom had the chance to touch the ball on the court, and since he had very few chances to appear on the court with Jennings and others, they didn't have much cooperation directly, simply saying "no call".

Ying Xiong played a small role on the offensive end, and he was not used to it at first, because in the Asian Championships, as he played later, he was almost the main ball controller in the backcourt.At this time, there was no right to the ball suddenly, so I was naturally not used to it.

But fortunately, he didn't have much possession of the ball last season, so he adjusted quickly.If you don't have a role on the offensive end, then it's good to show your own strength on the defensive end.

In the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, Yingxiong made 2 shots from the bottom corner, both of which were 3-pointers, but none of them hit.One of these two goals was Jennings' "missing pot" with less than 2 seconds left in the attack time, and the other was not completely open.

Ying Xiong has no success on the offensive end, but he does have a strong sense of presence on the defensive end.Not only did he draw an offensive foul from Wilson Chandler, but he also stole Gallinari once.Under his defense, Wilson Chandler made 1 shots and only contributed 3 foul and 1 turnovers.

Jennings dribbles over and points to Delfino.

Delfino took advantage of Bogut's strong cover to force his way into the inside line, and after attracting double-teams, he gave it to Ying Xiong in the right corner.

After Ying Xiong received the ball, he was in an open position. Seeing that he seemed to be about to make another shot, the fans did not want to hear the sound of iron striking, and some even covered their ears.

Faced with this situation, Ying Xiong didn't hesitate.He doesn't want to waste the offensive opportunities his teammates have worked so hard to create, and he doesn't want his teammates to think he is a person without courage.The most important thing is that he believes in his summer training and believes that his hand feeling will not remain cold forever.

Ying Xiong took off with both feet, and decisively used the strength of his fingers and wrists to throw the ball in his hand...

The ball was flying in the air, and Ying Xiong wasn't even ready to grab the rebound and prepare to return to the defense quickly, because the feeling of shooting the ball was very good.

"Shua——" Ying Xiong's corner 3-pointer fell into the net bag without error!
"Wow -" the home fans cheered.

There was also a smile on Ying Xiong's face. This was his first point in this game and also his first goal this season.Hard work will eventually pay off, as long as you don't give up easily!

Here Gallinari breaks through quickly with the ball, and Ying Xiong helps prevent fouls!

There was a substitution adjustment on the sidelines, and Ying Xiong was replaced by Meeks.

In the first quarter of the game, Ying Xiong played for 5 minutes and 32 seconds. He scored 3 points, 1 rebounds and 3 steal on 2 of 1 shots. He made no mistakes and contributed his strength on both offense and defense within the limited ball possession.

Skiles is quite satisfied with Yingxiong's performance in the first quarter.He attaches great importance to defense. All along, his impression of international players is that the offense is good, and the defense is limited by physical conditions, which is always unreliable.Although Ying Xiong is a man of yellow race, his physical condition is outstanding even among blacks.This makes Skiles even more demanding of his defense.

Ying Xiong was not replaced until 5 minutes and 22 seconds left in the second quarter.As soon as he played, he received a 24-second score from Jennings that was about to expire.

Before he had time to complain, Ying Xiong shot directly—the ball circled around the hoop and came out again.

Although it was not a 3-pointer, it was close to a 3-pointer, but Ying Xiong stepped on the 3-pointer line.

Bogut at the basket took advantage of his height and slapped the ball out.

Ying Xiong happened to be one step ahead of Wilson Chandler on the path where the ball was coming from. Like a cheetah, Ying Xiong rushed out in an instant, firmly controlled the ball, and went inside to kill.

Gallinari came to help defend, stood on Yingxiong's breakthrough line, trying to cause his dribble to charge.

Ying Xiong, the opponent's little trick, had already seen it. He glanced at Warrick on the right side of the basket. With a slight shake of his right hand, the ball flew over Gallinari's head and flew towards the basket.

Nicknamed "The Helicopter", Warrick took off with both feet, and his excellent projectile speed and explosive power allowed him to easily escape the shackles of gravity.He received a very comfortable pass from Ying Xiong in the air, and his almost flat frame bouncing in the air allowed him to stretch his body as much as he wanted, and dunk the ball into the basket with both hands with amazing speed!
With a sound of "Boom," Varik dunked with both hands as a beast!The basket trembled uncontrollably, and he landed gracefully, smiling back at Yingxiong.

The emotions of the fans at the scene were instantly ignited, dunks are always very exciting, especially this wonderful alley-oop!

The two exchanged high fives while returning to defense. "Yeah, great passing!" Warrick laughed.

"Your dunk is very domineering!" Ying Xiong responded with a smile.

Here, Wilson Chandler's flying rebound was blocked by Ying Xiong and went out of bounds!
Ying Xiong and Warrick bumped their chests presumptuously, which drew another round of cheers from the fans!
Chris Duhon missed a half-block, and Warrick received the rebound and handed it to Ying Xiong to advance.

Ying Xiong advanced to the frontcourt, instead of rushing to attack, he returned the ball to Jennings.

Jennings was assigned to Bogut in the high position, who supported him in the high position.Seeing this, Ying Xiong originally opened up space outside the 45-degree 3-point line, but suddenly he cut inside and walked towards the basket.

Wilson Chandler, who was defending him, was a little unexpected and a little stunned. When he found out, he couldn't catch up.

Bogut's vision is good, and his support skills are good. A concealed ground-hitting pass was accurately passed to Ying Xiong, who made an empty cut.

Ying Xiong received a second pass from Bogut, faced David Lee's help defense at the basket, jumped past the opponent, and scored 2 points on the basket.

The fans at the scene encouraged Ying Xiong's beautiful air cut, and the fans were very excited.

The New York Knicks trailed from the start and didn't overtake until the end of the game.

In the end, the Bucks at home defeated the Knicks and ushered in a two-game winning streak.

In this game, Ying Xiong started the game for 22 minutes and made 7 of 3 shots, including 3 of 3 1-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. There were no mistakes, although the shooting percentage was not special. High, but overall performance is impeccable.

After the game, Bucks coach Skiles rarely praised Ying Xiong. He praised Ying Xiong for being smart and full of energy on the defensive end. He hoped that he could continue this state in the following games.

Ying Xiong played pretty good numbers in his first game of the season, making him firmly believe that even if he plays off the ball, he can gain a firm foothold in the NBA.With excellent awareness and active defense, he can be qualified for the role assigned to him by the team.

Ying Xiong suddenly remembered what his mentor Shao Ziqiang said to him this summer: "Your luck is not good, and you have not received the key training from the team. As a result, your current situation is quite passive. If you still want to survive in the NBA Go on, practice off the ball and defense, and try to make yourself a good role player first."

He felt that Coach Shao not only really cared about him and understood his situation, but even in China, he had a good understanding of the situation in the NBA.

"You really deserve to be a basketball master!" Ying Xiong couldn't help sighing.
