Chapter 589 Interesting MVP
Ying Xiong has saved the team many times this season, and this 3-pointer at this time is like getting a ray of clear spring in a situation of extreme hunger and thirst, which is very refreshing.

Popovich stared angrily, but there was nothing he could do.It can't be said how badly Leonard defended, but that Ying Xiong was too difficult to defend.For a player with top-level breakthroughs, preventing his breakthroughs must be the priority, followed by preventing shots.What he himself instilled in the players when preparing for the game was mainly to prevent Yingxiong's breakthrough.

Ying Xiong's 3-pointer stabilized the mentality of the Raptors players, no longer panicked, and became more calm and active in defense.Their experience is not as good as that of their opponents, so they were a little impatient when they were chasing points by their opponents, and they were not calm in several attacks.

Here Duncan hit Along Gray with his back under the basket, and his hook was interfered by his opponent-missed!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, pushed forward by himself, reached the basket one-stop, and made a European layup, which caused Split's defensive foul.

Ying Xiong walked to the free throw line and made two free throws amidst the shouts of "MVP" from the fans!

"This player's ability to control the court is really not inferior to the old star who has played for more than ten years. He was just looking for a foul on the ball just now. His goal is to score points." Van Gundy said.

"This is the ability to read the game. In this regard, I think it should be a model for many young players!" Kerr added.

The point difference returned to 15 points, and Popovich quickly requested a timeout!

For the Raptors, Coach Casey let out a sigh of relief.The situation just now was actually quite dangerous. Although one's side was leading, the rhythm of the game was actually on the opponent's side.A score difference of more than ten points is actually not safe, especially when the game is still far from the end.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs replaced Diaw with Splitter.

The game continues.

The Raptors followed the Spurs' shooter Danny Green very closely, while against the old sports car Parker, they focused on defending his breakthroughs and mid-range shots.

Danny Green's offense with the ball is still worse. Of course, if he has the ball like DeRozan, he will be an enhanced version of DeRozan.

Parker made an emergency stop and hit a jumper, and he returned the favor!
But Jeremy Lin also hit the middle distance when he came over, and he returned the color!

Whether it is Dior or Duncan, the speed of movement in the interior is not fast. After all, one is fat and the other is old, so even if Mr. Bobo emphasized that he should pinch the mid-range of the Raptors, it is not so easy.

After all, it is impossible to hold down all defenses. If the Spurs can hold down the Raptors' basket and 3 points, they must put the mid-range.In this game, the Raptors' offense at the basket and 3-pointers actually didn't have a good chance. They just seized the opponent's mid-range defensive weak area and scored a lot of points, so they took the initiative of the game.

"If San Antonio can't limit Toronto's offense, this game will be difficult!" Van Gundy exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Cole nodded in agreement.Obviously, the Spurs are behind by double-digit points at this time, and if you play one goal and one goal against the opponent, the one who suffers in the end must be the one behind.

It's not that the Spurs don't want to chase points, but as long as the point difference is a little closer, Ying Xiong will stand up and forcefully score points, which has brought them a lot of obstacles.But there was no way, they didn't consume enough for Xiong, Jeremy Lin and others shared a lot of his work, so that he had enough physical strength to do this.

In the third quarter of the game, the Raptors still steadily controlled the point difference to about 3 points, so that the powerful and sophisticated opponents could not find a chance.

Before the end of the third quarter, Yingxiong was replaced by Gay and rested.At this time, the team has accumulated a lot of "capital", which can allow him to get enough rest time.

Popovich was very depressed, and the configuration of the Raptors made them uncomfortable.Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin went down, and Guy and Lowry came.They have Demon Sword on the bench, but they can't find a player to match Gay.In their team, the only ones who can match Gay in terms of size are Leonard and McGrady.It is difficult enough for Leonard to defend against Yingxiong, so there is no room for him to deal with Gay; because of age and injuries, McGrady's competitive state is not as good as before, and Popo dare not take risks.

As a result, after the third quarter, the score remained at around 3 points, which made the Spurs look sad.They all knew that if Ying Xiong wasn't on the court, if their side couldn't narrow the point difference to single digits, it would be difficult to win the game at home when Ying Xiong, who was physically strong at the end of the quarter, came back.

At the start of the last quarter of the game, Yaodao quickly led the team to a 6:0 spurt, narrowing the point difference to single digits (9 points).Coach Casey pauses immediately!
Pause back, Yingxiong is back!

Ying Xiong held the ball on the right wing, facing Gary Neal, and after taking a tentative step, he directly changed his direction to kill the basket. Facing Bonner's defense, he had no intention of dodging, and directly forcibly went up, on the opponent's head, Slam the ball in hard!
It was too late for Bonner to stop, and he paid for a foul.

Immediately, shouts of "MVP" sounded at the scene, and the sound was so loud that the roof of the arena was almost lifted.

Ying Xiong faced the camera at the bottom line, posed a pose showing his biceps, and smiled slightly at the camera.This scene also made the two commentators laugh.

"This kid, it's really interesting!" Van Gundy said with a smile.

Ying Xiong stood on the free throw line and made a steady free throw, widening the point difference to 12 points again!
The Spurs were also tenacious. In the next 2 minutes, they once again passed the ball accurately and played a 4:0 spurt, narrowing the point difference to single digits again.

Ying Xiong received Lowry's breakthrough ball on the right wing, changed direction with the ball to the left, and then suddenly pulled the ball behind his back and went to the right hand.

Gary Neal stuck very tightly, not giving an easy chance to break through.

Ying Xiong broke through near the bottom line, and suddenly pulled up and feinted - Neil interfered with the vertical take-off - but he missed the shot!

Ying Xiong made a time difference, waited for Neil to fall, and then jumped up and shot...

In this case, the rhythm of shooting must be lost. It depends on the hard power of shooting, how to shoot without rhythm and interference.

Ying Xiong jumped up, his body was very stable, his shots were also very stable, and the ball was also very stable!

Kerr and Van Gundy looked at each other, tacit understanding.With Yingxiong like this, the possibility of the Spurs wanting to comeback in this game is already very small.Even so, there is still enough time.

The main forces of both sides gradually returned, and the game entered the final decisive battle.

However, the Spurs' offense did not continue the previous fiery touch. After hitting a few pieces of fine iron, the point difference was quickly widened, and in the end there was no way to recover.

In the end, the Raptors beat the Spurs by 19 points at home and ushered in a good start to the finals.
