Chapter 270 Defending Kobe
After Ying Xiong left the field, the Cavaliers, led by James and Delonte West, played a wave of climax and instantly opened up the point difference.The Bucks lack offensive points, and the shortcomings of offensive constipation are fully exposed under the strong defense of the Cavaliers.

Ying Xiong returned to the court with 6 minutes and 04 seconds left in the second quarter, but he could not recover such a large point difference when he returned to the court.On the offensive end, the team does not give him much possession of the ball, nor does he design tactics for him; on the defensive end, he has to defend the opponent's top star James.

James has excellent passing vision and passing skills. He can use it proficiently whether it is the ball in the offensive and defensive transition or the sudden score in the positional battle.He also has the ability to move the ball in a wide range, and there are no more than 5 players in the league with the ability to pass across the field.

It is conceivable that the Bucks will be completely passive in the face of the well-equipped Cavaliers.James did not try his best in this game, because the game lost suspense early.

Ying Xiong is one of the few players in the Bucks who performed normally. He made 9 of 5 shots, including 3 of 1 1-pointers and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 steal. Blocked shots and limited James to under 20 points while playing well.Although James didn't do his best, it is undeniable that Yingxiong's defense against him was the best in the Bucks.

Although Ying Xiong still does not have the ball this season, his defensive progress has been very obvious, and he has also played well off the ball with high efficiency.The 3-pointer that was criticized last season has also hit about 40% this season.

However, the status of the Bucks does not seem to be very good.After losing at home to the No. 50 Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference, their winning percentage has dropped below 9%, and their ranking will drop to No. [-] in the Eastern Conference.

In the eyes of the outside world, the aura of the Bucks at the beginning of the season has gradually faded. The 55-point rookie Jennings seems to have hit the rookie wall recently, and his shooting efficiency is extremely low; the team's constipation offense makes it difficult for them to compete with strong teams. stalemate to the end.

Two days later, on December 12, the Bucks challenged away to the Boston Celtics with the Big Three.In this game, the Bucks shortened their rotation and only played 9 players. Ying Xiong did not get a chance to play in this game after making multiple consecutive appearances.

As a result, the Bucks, who shortened their rotation, still failed to make an upset at Boston's North Shore Garden Arena. They lost to their opponents by a score of 89:98 and ushered in a two-game losing streak.

The main reason for the recent poor state of the Bucks is offensive constipation. It has not been a hundred offenses in 3 consecutive games.But the team really couldn't find anyone who could contribute 20 points per game stably. Originally rookie Jennings had this possibility, but his recent state is more of a hindrance to the team.

On December 12, the Bucks returned home to face the Toronto Raptors.In this game, Ying Xiong played 10 minutes off the bench and scored 15 points and 8 rebounds when he didn't get a chance to play in the previous game.

The Bucks' starting lineup performed well in this game. They easily defeated their opponents at home and ended their two-game losing streak.

On December 12, the Bucks will continue to sit at home and face the Portland Trail Blazers.In this game, the team boss Michael Reed returned from injury again and will play off the bench.

In this game, the Bucks struggled to defeat their opponents after two overtimes. While ushering in two consecutive victories at home, they pulled their winning percentage back to 5%.

应雄替补出战28分钟，11投5中，其中3分球3投1中，罚球6罚6中得到17分4篮板1助攻1抢断。

On December 12, the Bucks will sit at home for the third consecutive game against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers.

For Xiong, there are still some stories between himself and the Lakers.Last season, compatriot Sun Yue was still playing for the Lakers. The two once staged a "China Derby" during the garbage time of a game between the Bucks and the Lakers at the Staples Center.However, just one year has passed, but things have changed.Sun Yue was waived by the Lakers, and the "China Derby" could not be staged as scheduled.

In this game, facing the powerful Lakers, the Bucks at home naturally do not want to sit still, not to mention that this is the team boss's second comeback game this season, the team naturally hopes to use a victory to cleanse the dust for Reed .

The famous Kobe Bryant visits the Bradley Center. There is only one such opportunity in a season (the Bucks can't make it to the finals).So in this game, the attendance at the Bradley Center is much higher than the previous game, which is similar to the previous game against the Cavaliers.

Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, these two are currently the hottest superstars in the league, wherever they go, the away game becomes home, which is enough to show their high popularity.

Ying Xiong's idol is AI, but he also admires Kobe, who is also the "96 Golden Generation" like AI. Kobe's unimaginable hard training attitude and competitive spirit for the game are unique in the league. exist.In the post-Jordan era, he is the No. 2 player with the best offensive skills, with a big heart and the mentality of never admitting defeat.

——If such a person is not successful, who can succeed?
Although Ying Xiong was very excited to be able to compete with superstars like Kobe Bryant, he also knew that he hadn't started a few times before Michael Reed came back, let alone Reed has come back in this game.How much he hopes that the team can send him to defend Kobe, even if he is blown up by the opponent, he can learn something by paying some tuition fees.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Bucks is the same as the previous game. Michael Reed did not start, Delfino was the starting No. 2, and Mbah a Moute was the starting No. 3.

——Obviously, Mbah a Moute is prepared for Kobe!

The starting lineup of the away game Lakers is: Center - Andrew Bynum, power forward - Pau Gasol, small forward - Metta World Peace, shooting guard - Kobe Bryant, point guard - Derek Fisher.

The game kicked off with the cheers of the fans at the scene.There are quite a few in the stands wearing the No. 24 Kobe Lakers jersey, which shows how popular he is.

After the start of the game, the offensive efficiency of the two teams was very low, and they kept hitting the iron.The Lakers' triangle offense didn't work well, and the Bucks' Jennings and Delfino were completely unable to play offensively under the defense of Kobe and Fisher in the opponent's backcourt.

The game lasted more than 5 minutes, and Mbah a Moute, who was defending Kobe, received his second foul and was about to be replaced.Bucks coach Skiles called Yingxiong's name.

Ying Xiong got up, took off his clothes and walked to the sidelines.

Skiles stood beside Ying Xiong and told him that his defensive task was to replace Mbah a Moute, defend Kobe and consume him as much as possible.

Ying Xiong was very excited, he didn't expect his wish to come true, so he kept nodding to show that he had received the instruction.
