Chapter 423
For the action design of the slam dunk contest, Ying Xiong already had a complete idea in his mind.He believes that his creativity can be liked by fans.

On February 2, the Raptors will host the Charlotte Bobcats.Since the star of the Raptors, Ying Xiong, will usher in a comeback in this game, the attention of this game has suddenly increased by several levels, and the tickets have suddenly become scarce, and the scalpers have made a lot of money Full.As the current best player of the Raptors, as the All-Star starter in the East, Ying Xiong's popularity is no longer comparable to other Raptors players.

The Bobcats' record this season is very bad. They have lost 16 games in a row. This is not only the longest losing streak of all NBA teams this season, but also the longest losing streak in their team history.When losing becomes the norm, it is a great challenge to the self-confidence of the players and the endurance of the fans.

However, no matter how long the losing streak is, there will always be an end.So every team that encounters them in the future may become the target of their losing streak.Moreover, according to the "Law of Conservation of Character", the hand feeling will eventually explode collectively, and it is very likely that after losing to a certain extent, the players will go all out to fight for the next victory due to reasons such as losing streak and shame. .

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely active and lively. Ying Xiong made his comeback. When he appeared in the appearance ceremony, the cheers from the audience shook the arena, and the roof of the arena was almost lifted.It can be seen how popular Ying Xiong is!

The Bobcats players did not have the slightest smile on their faces, which was in stark contrast to the home team Raptors players.Although the Raptors are also on a losing streak, and currently have a 3-game losing streak, the team has an excellent record before, currently 20 wins and 11 losses.The Bobcats are 3 wins and 26 losses, the bottom of the league.You must know that last season, the Bobcats had a record of 34 wins and 48 losses, which is only 8 games away from the No. 3 Pacers in the East.In just one season, the team's record has been reduced to this state, how can this not make people feel disappointed and heartbroken!

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Ed Davis, power forward - James Johnson, small forward - DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - Calderon.

The starting lineup of the Bobcats for the away game is: center - Bismack Biyombo, power forward - Boris Diaw, small forward - Corey Maggette, shooting guard - Reggie Williams, point guard - DJ Augustine.

The lineups of the two teams are not tall, and the highest point of the starting lineup does not exceed 210cm.

Biyombo and Ed Davis jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

Although Biyombo is only 206cm tall, his wingspan is extremely long. He is the No. 7 rookie this year. He has excellent defense and is good at blocking shots and rebounding.

Game start!Biyombo used his bounce and wingspan to get to the top and get the ball to Reggie Williams.

DJ Augustin dribbles slowly across half court.

Biyombo came up to the pick-and-roll, Augustine broke through and gave it to Reggie Williams, who caught the ball and made a fake shot-hit!
It's a 3 point shot!The Bobcats hit a 3-pointer in their first shot after the opening, which seemed to indicate that they had a good feel in this game.

Calderon slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and Ying Xiong came out to catch the ball.

When Ying Xiong received the ball from Calderon, the fans immediately cheered, which is enough to show his popularity.

Ying Xiong and James Johnson cooperated hand in hand, and suddenly started to cut in. The latter's pass was also very timely. After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed Maggette. Facing Biyombo's help defense, he subtly split To DeRozan, who is equally introverted.

After receiving the ball, DeRozan made a layup. Unexpectedly, Biyombo's reaction was extremely fast. He turned around and jumped up. Using his excellent bullet speed and disgusting long arms, he gave the opponent a big blow cap.

The ball went straight out of bounds... Biyombo, who blocked the shot, clenched his fists, beat his chest, and high-fived his teammates.Looking at the state and mental outlook they have shown so far in this game, it is completely different from the previous losing streak.

The Raptors continued to serve.

Ying Xiong received a sideline ball from DeRozan and called Ed Davis to pick and roll.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Ying Xiong changed direction to get out of the way. Seeing that Biyombo didn't jump out, he made an emergency stop in the middle distance-missed.After being sidelined for a week, his shooting is a bit rusty, and he used to be very sure of this kind of shooting.

The rebound was accepted by Biyombo and handed over to Augustine to advance.

In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors did not play well at home. The core of the team, Ying Xionggang, was still looking for form after his comeback. Other players were not confident in facing the opponent's tough defense, and their offensive efficiency was not high; On the other hand, the Bobcats are daring to fight, especially Augustine and Reggie Williams, who have a high shooting percentage and help the team lead the home team.

The game entered the competition of rotation lineup.The Bobcats' excellent competitive state in this game continued to the rotation lineup. DJ White and Kemba Walker, who played as substitutes, played extremely decisively, leading the team's second team to continue to widen the point difference.

When Ying Xiong and other main players returned to the court in the second quarter, the Raptors were already 2 points behind their opponents.

The scene was a little quiet, and it was difficult for the fans to accept this situation.You must know that the team also lost and fell behind during the 3-game losing streak, but the first of the three teams was the "Linsanity" lore, the second was the Lakers, and the third was the Spurs.Losing to these three teams without Yingxiong is not so difficult to accept.

But this time is different!The opponent is the Bobcats, which has set a record of losing streak in team history and is at the bottom of the league. Yingxiong also came back in this game, but he still played like this.

The worries of the fans of the home team were written on their faces, but most fans still believed that the team would not really let such a poor performance last until the end of the game.The Raptors this season are no longer the Raptors of the previous two seasons. We are now ranked in the top 5 in the Eastern Conference. Even if the other players of the Raptors fail, Yingxiong will not.

——This season, Ying Xiong hasn't let the fans down yet!
On the bench, Ying Xiong said to everyone: "Brothers, the opponent has lost 16 consecutive games. Are we going to be the terminator of their losing streak?"

The rest of the Raptors looked at each other, not knowing what to say.Ying Xiong is now the de facto boss of the team. He often leads by example and rarely speaks out, so his sudden opening at this time surprised his teammates.

——However, what he said is the truth!He didn't question anyone, he didn't accuse anyone, he just talked about the facts.This makes everyone feel ashamed, not disgusted with him.
