Chapter 401

Caron Butler's body is still in good condition, and he can fight against strength, but his speed has dropped significantly compared to his peak period.This disadvantage is even more obvious when he defends Ying Xiong who is more than one grade faster than himself.Even though he tried to prevent Yingxiong from receiving the ball, he still failed.

Ying Xiong came out to receive the ball, faced veteran player Caron Butler, and played a pick-and-roll with Ed Davis.

Jordan's movement speed is considered very good among centers, coupled with his height and long arms, he is an excellent defensive insider.

Ying Xiong and Ed Davis pick and roll, and the latter rolls down. Unexpectedly, Caron Butler and Jordan Jr. chose to flank him.

Ying Xiong didn't panic because of this. He has experienced countless times from the beginning of the CBA to the present, and he is already used to it.I saw that he suddenly moved the ball to Caron Butler's side (near the top of the frontal arc), and when the opponent did not completely form a pincer attack, he instantly distributed the ball to Ed Davis who went down the middle.

Ed Davis received a point from Yingxiong and went straight to the basket.At this time, the opponent's No. [-] pick Griffin is helping to defend the basket.

Ed Davis' ability to attack with the ball is very average. Facing the aggressive Griffin, he is still a little unconfident. He hesitated a little and distributed the ball to Amir Johnson on the right.

After Amir Johnson received the ball, he was in the open space, raised his hand and made a half slam shot-unfortunately missed!
The rebound was accepted by Griffin under the basket and handed over to Billups to advance.

Here, Griffin continued to hold the ball and force Amir Johnson, and scored 2 points by forcefully hitting the basket.

Calderon dribbles over and continues to find someone at the top of the arc.

Using his speed, Ying Xiong was still able to receive the pass easily.This time he chose to pick and roll with Amir Johnson, but the opponent still chose to double-team him.

Ying Xiong hit the ground and passed the ball to the unguarded Amir Johnson, who received the ball and went to the basket.I don’t know if the shot that was close at hand just now failed to hit. He still seemed a little hesitant when he encountered the opportunity. Facing Jordan, who was 1 defense and 2 defenses at the basket, he forced a pass to Ed Davis and was caught in the air by the opponent. Intercept!

Jordan handed the ball to Billups to advance.

After Billups landed, Griffin, who continued to divide the ball at the waist, continued to let him single Amir Johnson.

Griffin succeeded in hitting Amir Johnson consecutively, and he was more confident. After a tentative step, he directly took his right hand and forcibly went inside to kill.

Amir Johnson was forced to retreat. DeRozan, who was defending on the outside, saw that the situation was not right, so he let go of his defender and went inside to help defend.

Griffin is not the kind of physical man who can only go on a rampage. He was selected as the No. 3 pick not just because of his explosive jumping ability.I saw that he found his teammate Foye who was open outside at the moment of being flanked, and the latter caught the ball and shot [-] points...

When DeRozan realized that it was not good, it was too late to pounce.

Foye's 3-pointer went clean and straight into the net.

7:0!The Clippers, who played at home, caught the league's dark horse Raptors by surprise.

Raptors coach Casey was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, shaking his head and holding the tactical board, ready to arrange.

The fans of the home team at the scene cheered loudly with excitement, screams and applause mixed together, making the whole arena extremely lively.

For Casey, the opponent does not have Paul in this game, so he will definitely make more use of Griffin to make more fuss. In his opinion, although Griffin is physically strong and talented, his offense is actually not that strong. Sometimes it's just a dunk and a bluff.He intends to let Amir Johnson defend alone, even if he is beaten down, it doesn't matter, but he can't let the opponent's other role players also play.But what I didn't expect was that Amir Johnson was so vulnerable in this game, he was eaten to death by Griffin at the beginning, and forced the team to start double-teaming him.

To Casey's surprise, the opponent double-teamed Yingxiong from the beginning, and double-teamed every pick-and-roll, no matter who he was playing with, it was the same.He is not afraid of the opponent double-teaming Yingxiong, because he knows that Yingxiong is not a player who is afraid of double-teaming. Yingxiong's ball speed and passing vision are both at the elite level. Fewer offensive opportunities.What surprised him was that so far, the two insiders of the team seemed to be out of shape, which allowed the opponent to attack Ying Xiong more recklessly.

Back from the timeout, neither side made substitutions.

Calderon receives the baseline pass and slowly dribbles upfield.In the frontcourt, Ying Xiong ran out to pass the ball to him, and he immediately made an off-ball screen.

Ying Xiong held the ball at the top of the arc, and his teammates pulled it apart cooperatively.Obviously, the first tactic that Coach Casey deployed during the timeout was to let Yingxiong play Caron Butler in singles with the ball.

Caron Butler's eyes were extremely serious, his center of gravity was lowered, and he was ready to meet Ying Xiong's challenge as if facing a big enemy.For him, Ying Xiong, the current scoring leader in the league, is not so easy to guard against. If he doesn't do his best, he may be played by the opponent.

Ying Xiong patted the ball with his left hand and looked straight ahead. He held the ball in his left hand and started to start.

Caron Butler didn't dare to attack too hard. He had been teammates with Ying Xiong before, and he knew that this Chinese kid was very fast. Even in his prime, his speed couldn't keep up with him at all.Therefore, his defense is mainly to prevent breakthroughs, but he does not directly release shots.

Facing Caron Butler's defense, Ying Xiong changed direction with his crotch and broke through with his right hand.His speed did not mention the fastest, so the opponent can still follow up and defend in place.

Ying Xiong suddenly pulled the ball with his right hand to his left, and then raised his center of gravity, making Caron Butler think he was going to shoot and was about to jump to block the shot.

At this moment, Ying Xiong bowed to Buddha, pulled the ball with his left hand to lower his center of gravity, and rushed over from the right with a "shua".

When Caron Butler realized that he had been fooled, he could no longer chase and defend, and could only helplessly look at the coach Vinidnagro on the sidelines.

Ying Xiong passed Caron Butler, faced Jordan Jr. who was about to jump up and block the inside line, and made a light layup after the European step.

Little Jordan is not someone who is waiting for nothing, he slapped Yingxiong's layup ball on the backboard!

There was a burst of exclamation from the fans at the scene.

"Beep beep—" the referee announced that the block was invalid.

Little Jordan excitedly reasoned at the referee, but the referee told him calmly, this is interference with the ball!

"Got the ball? I don't have one!" Jordan denied.

The referee explained: "It hit the rebound first!"

Little Jordan: "..."

7:2, with Yingxiong's layup, the Raptors scored the first 2 points of the game.
