Chapter 418
Ying Xiong didn't attack with the ball too much after the start. This is the established strategy arranged by the team for him, especially when James Johnson started.

James Johnson mentioned the high position and acted as an axis support, and suddenly passed an alley-oop to Ying Xiong, but it was a pity that Mbah a Moute saw it through and flew to steal it.

After receiving the pass, Jennings immediately made a fast break, ignoring anyone, passed Calderon with the ball, and made a layup - was blocked by Ying Xiongfei and went out of bounds...

Delfino sent the ball out of bounds, and Jennings chose to continue playing by himself after receiving the ball.He singles out Calderon and misses a step-back jumper—Ed Davis takes the rebound.

Since Yingxiong left the Bucks for more than one season, Jennings' performance has been fairly stable and quite satisfactory. It can be regarded as a small improvement every year, but it is far from the team's high expectations for him.Of course, if compared with those high-level rookies who have been dropped, he is still good, at least he can be regarded as a sharp offensive knife.

But the problem is that in the past few seasons, his offensive efficiency has not improved significantly, and his organization has not improved much. His offensive choices have been criticized many times, and he is playing more and more like a sixth man. This makes many people ridicule The Bucks kept him as the core of the team, and the decision to trade Yingxiong out of the team was so stupid and short-sighted.

Jennings has a strong desire for performance, and he also knows the evaluation of him from the outside world, knowing that people often compare him with Yingxiong, the current star of the league.So every time he meets Yingxiong, he is full of desire to perform. He wants to prove to everyone that it is right for the team to center on him.However, Yingxiong's MVP-level performance so far this season has made him somewhat unbalanced. As soon as this game came up, he started to attack personally, but the offensive effect was not satisfactory.

In the first quarter of the game, DeRozan of the Raptors played very well. He was still very confident in letting him play Livingston, who had suffered a serious injury and was thin.

On this side, Yingxiong's offense without the ball is also flying. Whether it is a jumper after catching the ball or an attack after an air cut, not to mention the fast break in transition offense, the efficiency is quite high.Naturally, Delfino on the other side can't limit him, neither of them are at the same level in terms of physical condition or technical ability.The Bucks asked him to defend Yingxiong, not because of how good his defense is, but because they really couldn't find any suitable person to do this.Anyway, they are all blown up, and everyone's defense is almost the same. We can't let Mbah a Moute, who plays the 4th position, defend!They have to help defend the inside line and do the dirty work, and no one will do it after he goes down.

In the competition between the starting lineups of the two sides in the first quarter, the Raptors had a clear upper hand.As for the duel between the two substitutes, it was evenly matched.

After Ying Xiong came back in the second quarter, he relied on Ed Davis' pick-and-roll for the first attack. After Crossover passed Gooden, he cut into the basket and flashed the defender in the air, and succeeded in folding dunks!
Mbah a Moute and Jennings, who are assisting in defense at the basket, are both less than 2 meters tall, and they are completely unable to restrain Yingxiong in the air.After the lack of No. [-] pick center Bogut, the Bucks' ability to protect the frame is almost non-existent. Even Gooden, who plays center, is actually a power forward, and he is not a power forward who is good at defense. I was very anxious, it would be good if I didn't get blown up by the opponent, so I didn't need to expect him to assist in the defense frame.

From the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Ying Xiong began to increase the frequency of his attacks with the ball.He used the pick-and-roll to break into the inside line for layups and dunks many times, as if he had entered no one's land.His offense gave Bucks coach Skiles a headache.

Finally, after being beaten by Ying Xiong in the interior, Skiles made personnel adjustments, replacing Livingston and replacing him with a genuine center-Larry Sanders.

Larry Sanders is a defensive center with excellent movement speed and excellent blocking. The offensive end is relatively immature and there are not many offensive methods, but the defensive end has great potential.

However, after Larry Sanders came on the field, Ying Xiong unexpectedly changed the center of attack, from attacking the inside to scoring consecutive jump shots. It seemed that he had completely figured out Skiles' substitution arrangement.

Facing Ying Xiong like this, Skiles hated his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.Naturally, he was passive in adjusting the personnel, but being led by the nose like this and there was nothing he could do, it would be as aggrieved as he wanted.

Some fans of the home team at the scene saw that the rhythm of the game was completely controlled by the home team, and it was becoming more and more difficult for the Bucks to score. If you don't know how to use it, what kind of coach should you still be, let's give way to someone more capable.These mocking words from the fans reached Skiles' ears somewhat, his face was livid with anger, and his eyes were so cold that an elephant could be frozen to death.

But the cold eyes can't solve any problems, and Ying Xiong here is still helping the home team to widen the point difference.Personnel If the Bucks double-team, he will score the ball to the hot-handed DeRozan and others; if he does not double-team, his singles is also extremely efficient.What's more terrible.Under his defense, Delfino has no touch, and his presence on the court is extremely low.

At the end of the halftime game, the point difference was close to 20 points. Looking at the scene, it seemed that there was not much suspense about the outcome.After the third quarter, the point difference is close to 3 points, and the game is almost over.

In the last quarter, the Bucks also failed to create any miracles.They were beaten like this by their opponents throughout the game, and their self-confidence in this game was almost destroyed. It would be great if they could play without negativity, so why talk about a comeback!

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Bucks at home and ended their two-game losing streak while defeating their opponents.

In this game, Ying Xiong only played in 3 quarters, but easily scored 34 points to help the team win.After this game, the Raptors' record came to 19 wins and 8 losses, ranking firmly in the top 4 in the Eastern Conference, in stark contrast to the Bucks with 10 wins and 15 losses.

After beating the Bucks at home, the Raptors will face the Boston Celtics on Feb. 2.If we say who is their sufferer this season, the Celtics are definitely one of them.In the 11 games that have ended, only the Celtics are the only team that has won them twice.

However, this game is a home game, and the two games lost are away games, so for the Raptors, this game is even more important.If they can beat each other at home, not only can they regain part of the field, but also gain a lot of self-confidence.

This game attracted a large number of fans to watch the game, and the tickets were sold out long ago. Many fans who did not have tickets still lingered outside the arena, trying to try their luck and see if anyone needed to transfer tickets.
