Chapter 380
The home of the Philadelphia 76ers - Wachovia Center Arena, Ying Xiong always has a special feeling every time he comes here.Because this is the place where his idol AI once fought, and this is the birthplace of almost all the honors and best performances of AI.

It's just that things are different now. Although AI has not announced its retirement, it seems that this day is not far away. Although AI does not have a championship, it is the collective memory of Yingxiong's generation and a true portrayal of youth.

In this game, the starting lineup of the 76ers at home is: center - Spencer Hawes, power forward - Elton Brand, small forward - Andre Iguodala, shooting guard ——Jodi Meeks, point guard—Jhuo Ledi.

The starting lineup of the Raptors in the away game is the same as the previous game.

Although there are no stars in the 76ers team, some are just outdated stars like Brand, but this team has a lot of players. Due to the poor record in the past few years, it has hoarded a large number of talented players. young players.The starting lineup of this team is not strong, but the depth of the bench is sufficient, and it pursues the "pack of wolves". It is difficult to find key players when playing with them. This is different from other teams.

Before the game, Coach Casey asked Ying Xiong to face the opponent's top star-Iguodala in this game.He also reminded Ying Xiong that Iguodala's defense is difficult and he is a well-known outside iron chain in the league.

In this game, the focus before the game was also on Yingxiong VS Iguodala.Everyone is looking forward to whether Ying Xiong, who scored 40 points in the last game, can continue to score as he wants in front of Iguodala, who was selected to the best defensive team of the year.

The 76ers are in good shape recently. They have won three consecutive victories and are at the top of the Atlantic Division. In this campaign, when they encounter the Raptors with four consecutive victories, one team is bound to end their winning streak.

Ying Xiong is no stranger to Iguodala. The two have played against each other in the past few seasons. In the national team, the two sides have faced each other in the World Championships in Turkey.In his opinion, Iguodala has strength and speed. Although he is only 198cm tall, he has a terrifying wingspan, skilled defensive skills, and a high basketball IQ. He is a difficult guy.

If it weren't for the fact that the offense is really ordinary, otherwise Iguodala has a chance to become a superstar with his physical condition and basketball IQ.

Bargnani and Hawes jump ball in the middle, two white insiders, both have excellent outside attack ability, but defense is not their strong point.

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors were the first to hold the ball.

Calderon slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and it was Holiday who defended him.

Ying Xiong was cruising on the flank, trying to find an opportunity to catch the ball, and the one defending him was naturally the opponent's boss - Iguodala.

Iguodala has not only heard about Ying Xiong's prowess, but also experienced it.In his opinion, the series of outstanding performances created by this yellow-skinned Chinese player this season are not miracles.In the Turkey World Championships, as a member of the "Dream Nine Team", he once defended Ying Xiong. In that game, Ying Xiong scored 40 points.Is a guy who can score 40 points on a Dream Team defense just a role player?He has personally faced off, and he knows exactly how strong the opponent's true strength is.This is far more true and reliable than what the media blows or belittles.

Under Iguodala's strict defense, Ying Xiong failed to catch the ball.On this side, what DeRozan is facing is Yingxiong's former teammate in the Bucks - Meeks.

Meeks is a shooter, and he is very accurate for open 3-pointers, but his physical fitness and other abilities are really average, so he can only be a role player.

DeRozan missed a jumper with a step back, and Iguodala received the rebound.

Here Brand singles Amir Johnson and misses a mid-range jumper...

The rebound was accepted by Bargnani.Facing Hawes, his rebounding disadvantage is not so big...

Calderon used the pick-and-roll to score Ying Xiong, but Iguodala saw through and stretched out his long arm to break the ball!He advances with the ball by himself, facing the opponent's defense. Although his dribbling is not very good-looking, he is very stable, which shows his profound skills.

Ying Xiong knew that he played point guard in high school, and then changed to other positions as he grew taller.And the same is true for himself, so facing such a player, he dare not be careless at all.

After the opening, the two sides fought hard and made mistakes again and again. After more than 2 minutes, neither of them scored.

Some fans at the scene have already started to laugh at Ying Xiong, aren't you very popular recently?Aren't you amazing?Under Iguodala's defense, didn't he still show his original shape!
Ying Xiong actually only made one shot after the opening game. Iguodala's defense is indeed quite good. He needs speed and strength, which is difficult to deal with.In front of him, you can't be too exposed when dribbling, or you may be stolen by him.

Under Ying Xiong's defense, Iguodala did not get any good offensive opportunities.It's just that in this team, he is not the only scorer, and he is not a score-oriented player.In recent years, his scoring desire has become lower and lower, and his scoring average has also declined year by year.Some people think that his playing is becoming more and more reasonable, and it is not caused by his declining state.

Defending Iguodala, Ying Xiong is not like defending Morrow, Redick and other pitchers, making dead posts.He mainly focuses on defensive breakthroughs and passing lines, cuts off the connection between him and his teammates, encourages him to play one-on-one, encourages him to try to shoot from the outside, and does not give easy breakthrough opportunities.

Iguodala's outside shooting percentage can't be said to be very low, but it is very unstable. Sometimes he misses consecutively and even misses the open space.Such a player, without James' ability to hit the basket, is destined not to be the main attacker of a team.

After Ying Xiong received the ball, Crossover did not shake off Iguodala, but was cut off the sideline by the opponent when he continued to change direction...

Ying Xiong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled bitterly in his heart: This test is not easy!

Ying Xiong is a person who becomes stronger as he fights, which is why he can score 40 points in the game against the Dream Team.Of course, facing Iguodala's defense, he didn't want to open the hidden attributes and use the five styles.Recently, he has not delayed the practice of Wu Qinxi, except for back-to-back competitions. Usually, he will practice for an hour whenever he has time.He has benefited a lot from the mystery of this set of movements.In his opinion, if he still needs to use five styles to face Iguodala, he is not worthy of being the best player in the league.

"Hehe, Iguodala, I must score points under your defense! Score a lot of points! I am a man who wants to become the strongest player in the league. If I give up here, I will look down on myself!" Ying Xiong I read silently in my heart.
