Chapter 267 Returning to the starting lineup
After losing to the mighty Spurs in an away game, the Bucks challenged the Hornets and the Thunder in two away games on November 11 and 26 respectively, and both lost to their opponents, ushering in an embarrassing three-game losing streak.From 28 consecutive victories to 3 consecutive losses, the record decline of this Bucks team is staggering.

The Bucks boss Michael Reid, who has returned from injury, is in a very poor state. Not only has he lost his speed and explosive power, but he has also lost the accuracy of his famous shooting. He is completely dragging his feet on the court.And Jennings, who had the best rookie hope before, didn't know if he had hit the "rookie wall" ahead of time. In the few games he lost, he played like shit-can't make shots, couldn't defend.

Since Mbah a Moute was also absent due to injury, Ying Xiong got enough time when he came off the bench, and his average playing time in recent games exceeded 20 minutes.It's just that what his coach arranged to do on the court was to defend and attack without the ball, but the ball was basically stuck in the hands of Jennings and Reid, making him not get many opportunities even though his efficiency was good.

On November 11, the Bucks, who had lost 29 games in a row, returned to their home court to face the Eastern Conference Magic back-to-back.The Bucks, short of major generals, failed to defeat their opponents, but instead increased their losing streak to 3 games.

应雄本场比赛替补登场23分钟，10投5中，其中3分球3投2中，罚球4罚3中，得到15分5篮板2助攻2抢断1盖帽，表现出色，但仍然无法阻止球队连败的步伐。

After a wave of 4 consecutive losses, the Bucks' record dropped to 8 wins and 7 losses, falling from the top 5 in the Eastern Conference to 8th, and ended November in such an embarrassing way.The team's losing streak is due to strong opponents. The most important thing is that the team's injuries are too serious. Three players in the starting lineup cannot play, and Jennings' performance is not as expected.But the good news is that center Bogut will return in the next game against the Bulls.

On December 12, the Bucks played against the Bulls at home.The current record of the two teams is not much different, the Bucks are 1 wins and 8 losses, and the Bulls are 7 wins and 6 losses.As competitors for playoff tickets, both teams want to win this game.For the home team, the Bucks, who have lost 8 games in a row, urgently need a victory to end the embarrassing losing streak and restore the morale of the players.

In this game, Ying Xiong returned to the starting lineup after many games.This is his third start this season and the fifth start in his NBA career.Michael Reid is back on the injured list. His condition after his comeback is very poor, and he has not fully recovered from his body.

Even though the Bucks have lost 4 games in a row, there are not many fans at the scene.The fans have not lost confidence in the home team. On the contrary, with such a civilian lineup and such serious injuries, the team's current record is still ranked in the top 8 in the East, and the winning rate is still over 50%. They are still very satisfied.

The starting lineup of the Bucks at home is: center - Andrew Bogut, power forward - Erson Ilyasova, small forward - Carlos Delfino, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - — Brandon Jennings.

The starting lineup of the Bulls in the away game is: center - Joakim Noah, power forward - Tucky Gibson, small forward - Ruhr Deng, shooting guard - John Salmons, point guard - Derek rose.

After the start of the game, the Bulls in the away game got the first wave of offensive possessions.

Derrick Rose dribbled over and Noah came out to pick and roll.

Rose broke through with the ball, and his explosive physical fitness allowed him to make a strong breakthrough directly in the middle.Jennings is very fast, but his body is thin. Where can he block it, he just defended it symbolically, and then handed over the opponent to his inside teammates.

Rose suddenly assigned to Luer Deng, who faced the opponent, pretended to break through, and directly pulled out the mid-range shot...

Ying Xiong has already judged the opponent's intention, but still failed to block Deng's shot.

Deng's first shot hit 2 points!
Jennings came over here, trying to single out Rose, but missed a jumper.

Noah protected the rebound and handed it to Rose to advance.

Rose dribbles to the top of the arc and passes it to the high post Noah.

Noah has a strong coping ability. Although he does not have an excellent outside shot, it does not prevent him from being a certain threat in the high position.

Noah continued to distribute to Luer Deng, giving Deng a chance to make mid-range shots.

Deng still attacked in the same way, and continued to fight against Ying Xiong.This response, Xiong was well prepared, judged accurately, and jumped up quickly. Although he didn't cover it, he had already interfered with the opponent.

Sure enough, Deng's shot missed.

Bogut grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Jennings to advance.

Jennings quickly counterattacked, and Gibson blocked the bottom line for a one-stop layup.

Ying Xiong sent the ball out of bounds and gave it to Delfino on the outside. The latter and Bogut picked and rolled the ball to Ilyasova on the right.

Ilyasova and Ying Xiong blocked Deng with hand-to-hand passes. Ying Xiong made a breakthrough and Noah came over to help defend.

Ying Xiong hit the ground and gave it to Bogut, who got the ball and dunked under the basket!

The two sides started with a tie!
Here, Rose forced to the basket and caused a foul by Ilyasova!

Rose made two free throws!

Jennings dribbles over and points Delfino.

Delfino made a sudden point to Ilyasova, and the latter made a direct shot-missed, Ying Xiong grabbed an offensive rebound, made a tough tip-up at the basket and missed-continued to make a tip-up-hit!
Next, the two sides entered a period of offensive constipation, and many consecutive offensives failed to achieve results. The score of 4:4 lasted for a while.

Here, Rose broke through Jennings, went to the basket, folded and passed Ilyasova for a layup, and was blocked by Ying Xiong's flying cap for a layup!
Here Salmons made a mid-range shot!
Here, Ying Xiong received Bogut's second pass, and made an empty cut and layup at the basket to return the favor!

The two teams came and went, and the offensive success rate was not high. It was not until the last moment of the game that the winner was decided. Ying Xiong passed the basket to Bogut and scored 2+1, taking the initiative of the game in his own hands.At the last moment, Rose missed a 3-pointer, and the Bucks finally won at home without any risk, ending an embarrassing 4-game losing streak.

本场比赛，应雄首发出战33分钟，创造了NBA生涯的上场时间的新纪录；得分19分平了NBA生涯最高得分记录。此外他还贡献了同样创造新纪录的8个篮板。当然还有3次助攻2个抢断2个盖帽。

Because Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were unable to play due to injuries, and Ying Xiong played increasingly well in the Bucks, the domestic media and fans focused their attention on him.On the Internet, he also has the most news; on the forum, there are countless posts hacking him and defending him.

Ying Xiong is in the United States and doesn't know the situation in China.He doesn't usually go online to forums, so he doesn't know that he has become the topic of basketball.

Ying Xiong knows that even though his recent performance is good, it does not mean that he has become a part of the team's future. In fact, he still has no tactical status on the field. If the team is short of major generals, no one can be used , and will not give myself so much playing time.
