Chapter 272 Facing "Wu Yao Rocket"

In this game, the Bucks played at home, relying on the excellent performance of Ilyasova and the comeback team boss Michael Reed, and the powerful Lakers reached overtime.

But in overtime, the Lakers still had the last laugh.There is no other reason, just because they have Kobe!

应雄本场比赛上场了25分钟，8投4中，其中3分球2投1中，罚球4罚全中得到13分7篮板2助攻3抢断1盖帽的数据，表现依旧出色。

The Bucks' loss in this game is also expected, after all, the strength gap between the two teams is very obvious.

After the game, a reporter from China interviewed Kobe and asked him what he thought of Yingxiong's performance in defending him.Kobe said that Ying Xiong is a very tough defensive player with great physical condition and a very good team player!

Kobe's statement quickly reached Yingxiong's ears. In his opinion, getting Kobe's approval is also an affirmation of his hard work in training, so he is naturally happy.But he won't be complacent either. In front of the media, it's normal for a superstar to say some polite words when evaluating a second-year player, and he shouldn't take it too seriously.

For the Bucks, the bad news is that the team's winning percentage once again fell below 5%; the good news is that the team boss Michael Reid seems to be showing signs of recovery.

On December 12, the Bucks challenged the Cavaliers who had previously defeated themselves.As a result, in an iron battle, the Cavaliers, who were still fighting at home and were even stronger, had the last laugh.

The Bucks' rookie Jennings made only 21 of 5 shots, and the boss Michael Reid only made 9 of 2 shots. With such a poor offensive performance in the team's backcourt, it became very natural to lose.

Ying Xiong came off the bench for 21 minutes and scored 6 points but grabbed a career record 11 rebounds!After facing Kobe and James in two consecutive games, it was a good exercise for him, and he also clearly found out where his shortcomings were.

On December 12, the Bucks played against the Kings at home.As a result, 20 seconds before the end of the game, he was killed by the opponent's rookie Tyreke Evans. Unfortunately, he lost the game and ushered in a 0.7-game losing streak.

Bucks boss Michael Reid has only played one good game since his comeback. After the embarrassing shooting percentage in the last game, he only made 6 of 1 shots in this game and is still struggling in the mud.

On December 12, the Bucks challenged the Indiana Pacers, who have been in poor form recently.In this game, Michael Reed entered the starting lineup and his performance has rebounded.The team's No. 22 pick center Bogut showed his power, scoring 31 points, 18 rebounds and 3 blocks, leading the team to a narrow away victory over their opponents and ending their 3-game losing streak.

After defeating the Pacers in the away game and ending their three-game losing streak, the Bucks faced the Wizards, Spurs, Bobcats, and Magic in the next four teams, all of which lost to their opponents and ushered in a wave of four-game losing streak.

Yingxiong has always played steadily in the team's losing or winning games.It's not that he has no contribution to the team, but that he really has no tactical status and his role on the offensive end is very limited.However, the biggest reason for the team's loss is the offense.The team has too few offensive points, and its performance is very unstable.The super rookie Jennings at the beginning of the season has gradually become a low-efficiency scoring guard, more and more like a "nervous knife" moving closer, and there is no improvement in organization and defense at all; the team boss Michael Reed is also improving. Ups and downs, unable to become a stable output player on the offensive end of the team like in previous seasons.

The season entered January 2010. After the home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on January 1, the Bucks stopped their 1-game losing streak, and in the next game against the Nets and Bulls, they also achieved Victory ushered in a 3-game winning streak.In the game against the Nets, Yi Jianlian performed bravely and scored a game-high 4 points.Ying Xiong had a friendly conversation with him before the game, and they had a good relationship with each other.

But the good times didn't last long.In the following Western Conference road trip, the Bucks first lost consecutively to the Lakers, Suns and Trail Blazers.After winning the Warriors, they lost to the Jazz in the second back-to-back game.During this period, the team boss Michael Reid relapsed from an old injury and truce again, which made the team worse.

Ying Xiong still performed steadily in these few games. In the limited playing time and performance opportunities, his efficiency was good, and in the few games that Reed was absent, he got the chance to start.

On January 1, the Bucks, who have been in poor form recently, will challenge the last opponent of this western tour-the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets lacked the "MM combination"-Yao Ming and McGrady this season, but under the leadership of head coach Adelman, relying on a group of players whose strength is greater than their fame, led by Battier and Scola, Played a wonderful game, currently ranked 7th in the Western Conference, this season is expected to reach the playoffs.

Because of Yao Ming's relationship, the Rockets have always been known as the "home team" in China. Since Yao Ming was unable to play in this game, the media could not use the "China Derby" to attract the attention of fans.But with the Rockets game and Ying Xiong's game, why is the attention so low?
In this game, the starting lineup of the Rockets at home is: center - Chuck Hayes, power forward - Luis Scola, small forward - Sean Battier, shooting guard - Trevor Ariza , Point guard - Aaron Brooks.

The main lineup of the Bucks in the away game is: center-Andrew Bogut, power forward-Erson Ilyasova, small forward-Luke Richard Mbah a Moute, shooting guard-Ying Xiong, point guard - Brandon Jennings.

A large number of Chinese and overseas Chinese came to the Toyota Center, the home court of the Rockets. A large part of them came to watch the game, and they came for Ying Xiong.In the case of Yao Ming's indefinite truce, it is also a good choice to see another talented player from China at the Toyota Center.

The Rockets' football market is quite hot, and there are many Chinese elements on the scene, not only the advertisements on the sidelines, but also many American fans wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters.No one can replace Yao Ming's role in the relationship between the NBA and China.

Ying Xiong was doing shooting practice at the Toyota Center. There were Chinese fans on the sidelines greeting him in Chinese. The advertising screens on the sidelines were also the latest advertisements of domestic sports brands in China. He seemed to be playing CBA in China.To be honest, this feeling is great, and he enjoys it very much.

For Xiangxiong, it is a pity that he did not have the opportunity to compete with Yao Ming at the Toyota Center. Of course, he also hopes that Yao Ming can recover from his injury and strive to have the opportunity to meet on the court in future NBA games.

Ying Xiong is said to be the starting shooting guard in the team, but his tactical status is the lowest among the five starting players.
