Chapter 389 I Will Always

With Yingxiong as a check, in the first quarter, the offensive efficiency of Bargnani and DeRozan is still good.Although many fans of Yingxiong failed to see him show off his unparalleled personal offensive skills, but seeing the excellent performance of other players, the regret in their hearts was more or less made up for.

Although the Kings' defense is not very good, the offense is still decent.Both Cousins ​​on the inside and Evans on the outside have extremely strong one-on-one capabilities.Bargnani's defense looked so weak when it encountered an offense like Cousins.

The two teams started to attack each other from the beginning, until they entered the rotation stage, the point difference was still very close.The rookie of the Kings this season, Isiah Thomas, who is 175cm tall, has a strong personal scoring ability and has gradually become the main scoring output of the team's bench.

The second lineups of the two teams actually played inextricably, which kept the score in an anxious situation.Fighting with a weak team all the time, the fans at the scene were a little depressed, and some people with bad mentality had already started to worry secretly.You must know that if the Raptors capsize on the Kings who have not won in Toronto for 2 years, and the winning streak is suspended, then this face will be a big embarrassment...

In the second quarter, the main players of both sides returned and the game continued.In this game, the Kings in the away game were in excellent condition. They were not disturbed by the opponent's home fans at all. They played an excellent offensive efficiency and scored some dribbles.

No, the main players from both sides have just come back for a few offensive rounds. Since the Raptors repeatedly missed shots from the perimeter on the offensive end, the Kings seized the opportunity and Fredette and Cousins ​​made consecutive hits and played a wave of 8:0. A small climax stopped the home team.

Coach Casey is very dissatisfied with the performance of the team. In his opinion, it is normal to have ups and downs on the offensive end. No one can guarantee that every shot he makes will hit.What he can't stand is the defensive end, which is too loose and not oppressive, allowing the opponent to play too easily.However, he also felt that the consecutive victories brought not only confidence and morale to the team, but also gradually growing complacency and pride.So sometimes a team with too many winning streaks is not all a good thing.

Back from the timeout, Calderon dribbled the ball across half court.For them, they have not scored for several rounds, and they were overtaken by their opponents at home, and the pressure was on their side instead.As an old point guard, his mind is very clear at this time, that is, to hand the ball to the most confident teammate on the court.

Ying Xiong jumped to catch the ball from the right side, and adjusted immediately after landing. Facing his old teammate Salmons, he did not dare to take it lightly.A feint after holding the ball in both hands, the opponent moved slightly, he immediately started to accelerate, and his right hand accelerated to walk in.

Salmons' speed is not an advantage, so in the face of the opponent's strong attack with the ball, he can only keep backing up, trying to block the opponent's breakthrough line.

JJ Hickson under the basket slowly moved over, ready to help defend.

Ying Xiong suddenly made a sudden stop when he was halfway through, and directly took a jumper after pulling the ball under his hip.

At this time, Salmons could no longer regain his focus and jump up to block the shot.This 180cm small guard often makes a breakthrough jumper with an emergency stop and pull the ball. Yingxiong made it under the condition of 203cm. He did not lose speed and suddenness at all, and it was even larger than that of a small guard. It is simply amazing.

"Shua—" The ball crashed into the net!

Salmons ran back to the frontcourt, smiled and said softly when fighting for the position with Yingxiong: "You have improved!"

Ying Xiong smiled faintly: "Progress? I've always been able to do this!"

Salmons glanced at him and smiled noncommittally.On this field, perhaps only he can best understand the situation that was not reused when he was in the Bucks.

Here Evans used the pick-and-roll to make a strong breakthrough, which caused Amir Johnson's help defense foul.

Evans made two free throws and gave Ying Xiong a strong response.

With the help of Bargnani's pick-and-roll, Ying Xiong rushed to the basket, attracted many people to defend, and opened Bargnani's outside line.Unexpectedly, Bargnani missed the vacancy...

Here Evans' one-stop layup caused Amir Johnson's foul again.

Amir Johnson made 3 fouls and was replaced by Ed Davis.

Evans made two free throws again and continued to expand the lead.

Ying Xiong catches the ball from the top of the arc on the left, picks and rolls with Ed Davis, and Crossover rushes JJ Hickson.Where Hickson can keep up, he can only foul.

Ying Xiong went to the free throw line and also made two free throws!

In this way, for the rest of the second quarter, due to the sudden power outage of other Raptors players on the offensive end, the team's offensive burden was all on Ying Xiong.On the other hand, Cousins ​​and Evans of the Kings continued their strong performances, scoring points on the offensive end and facing off against Ying Xiong.

At the end of halftime, the Raptors at home fell behind the Kings by 10 points.

The home team trailed by double-digit points, which made the fans anxious.If the two teams are evenly matched and you have Yingxiong on your side, the home team will most likely win.But the problem is that now Yingxiong has played, but the other players have lost power, which makes them feel a little bit uncertain.But now I can only believe in this Raptors team, I believe that the magical coach Casey and the leading star Yingxiong can bring the game back to the normal track.

The third quarter of the game will start soon.

Bargnani, as always, was unable to limit Cousins, and DeRozan could not prevent Evans' breakthrough, and the two continued to act as the team's main attackers.

Ying Xiong did not play for his teammates like he did in the first quarter, but directly entered the attack mode.Because he is the team's most sure scorer, if he doesn't attack again, wait until the score reaches 15 or even 20 points, and the morale of the opponent is fully raised, the game will really hang.

Ying Xiong used the cover, and Salmons went around the cover.He directly made a 3-pointer-missed.

Amir Johnson's frontcourt board was given to Ying Xiong again, and Ying Xiong directly pulled out the ball after receiving the ball-this time!For Xiong, the only thing he can do is to make a shot or not, and he is rarely blocked face to face.With his bounce and release point, few players can interfere with him.

Here Evans broke through, went to a deep position, tried to force a layup, and shot out from the bottom line alone, and gave him a big cap.When he came back to his senses, the opponent had already reached the frontcourt with the ball.

The person covering Evans was Ying Xiong. He judged the opponent's layup point and knew that the opponent would not pass the ball at this time, so he let go of his defender and helped Bargnani defend the inside.

Ying Xiong rushed forward, facing Fredette who was about to make a foul at the basket, turned around lightly, wiped the opponent silkily, without even touching any part of the opponent, and then hung up the frame with both hands!
