Chapter 614 Points That Cannot Be Thoroughly Restricted
Here, Ying Xiong scored a jumper on Jimmy Butler again!Insider Noah has been waiting to help defend and block shots, but Yingxiong just doesn't go in, which makes him very depressed.

The Bulls' offense is very constipated. Under Yingxiong's defense, Luer Deng's efficiency has been greatly reduced, and the number of shots is also lower than his season average.In fact, he couldn't find a good offensive opportunity. He couldn't get rid of Yingxiong with his footsteps and speed. Ganba was also worried about being blocked. Shooting through screens is not his specialty.

Jimmy Butler's offensive style is closer to that of DeRozan. They both focus on the mid-range, and they can use the pick-and-roll to break through with the ball.However, compared with DeRozan, his offense still looks rough and flat.He doesn't have the foul-making ability of the opponent's chicken thief, and his breakthrough ball and jumper skills are not as good as the opponent's.

Of course, Jimmy Butler's defense is better than DeRozan's, but he defends Yingxiong...

Ying Xiong was replaced by teammate Terrence Ross with 3 minutes and 08 seconds left in the first quarter.

The second team of the Raptors, which shined in the last game, did not play the same good effect as the previous game under the super defense of the Bulls.But it's not bad, at least the scene is firmly in his hands.

After Augustin was waived by the Raptors, he joined the Bulls. Facing his former owner at this time, he naturally hoped to respond to the opponent's layoff with a good performance.

At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors led the Bulls by 24 points at 17:7.

"Chicago's offense is not playing well!" Kevin Harlan discussed with Pippen during the quarter.

"Originally, their offense relied heavily on Derek. Now that Derek is gone, the shortcomings have been exposed. The lack of offensive starting point in the backcourt makes it difficult for the ball to hit the inside." Pippen said.

Section 2 started soon.

Yingxiong replaced Landry Fields with 2 minutes and 8 seconds left in the second quarter and played again.

After Ying Xiong came on the field, he immediately received a second pass from Jeremy Lin and made a 3-pointer—but he missed it!
However, Hansbrough on the inside hit the ball toughly, and the ball returned to Jeremy Lin's hands again.

Jeremy Lin controlled the rhythm at the top of the arc and organized the attack again.

"Jeremy's ability to control the pace of the game is much better than in New York!" Pippen said.

"After the experience of last season's finals, it seems that many players in Toronto have increased their goals!" Kevin Harlan added.

Jeremy Lin made a breakthrough, stopped in the middle, and gave it to Ying Xiong, who cut across.

Ying Xiong catches the ball without stopping. Facing Jimmy Butler, he holds the ball in his left hand, pulls the ball from his crotch to his right hand, and breaks through with the ball in his right hand.

Jimmy Butler's center of gravity is also very low, firmly stuck in the position, and does not give Ying Xiong an easy breakthrough.

Ying Xiong didn't slow down, ignored the opponent's tough defense, made strong physical contact, and under Noah's block, he made a fearless layup-he was beaten, but the ball was still scored!

This ball, Ying Xiong's body control ability and confrontation ability are fully reflected.

"Scottie, what do you think of this ball?" Kevin Harlan asked.

"Very good, very tough, and there is no disadvantage in confrontation!" Pippen replied.

Ying Xiong went to the free throw line, but missed the extra penalty...

Noah grabbed the rebound and handed it to Augustin to advance.

For the Bulls, Dunleavy Jr. made a 3-point shot from the right corner - missed!
Ying Xiong grabbed the rebound, accelerated directly from the backcourt, changed direction and passed Taki Gibson during the march, faced his old teammate Augustin and was about to call him an offensive foul, he slowed down, dribbled the ball behind the opponent, and passed from the right Wipe the board and easily score 2 points!
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau did not take a timeout and the game continued.

Augustin made a breakthrough error and Jeremy Lin made a steal!

Jeremy Lin made a pass to Ying Xiong, who scored quickly. The moment Ying Xiong received the ball, he turned around and passed Jimmy Butler, and then continued to advance to the left wing with the ball
When he was near the 3-point line, he flicked his left hand slightly, and the ball flew towards the basket...

Terrence Ross jumped high and succeeded in the alley-oop!

"The pass was beautiful! Terrence dunked very well!" Kevin Harlan explained excitedly.

On the sidelines, coach Thibodeau was dissatisfied with the team's performance just now, and angrily requested a timeout!
"If you sink down to play positions, it's not easy for both sides to play, but once the Bulls make a mistake, Toronto can break fast on the 3rd line and play a wonderful offense!" Pippen explained.

"Chicago's half-court defense was very good. It's just that the few offenses we responded to just now were really good. It's normal if we can't defend. The defense against other Toronto players is not bad." Kevin Harlan also said.

After returning from the timeout, the main players of both sides basically returned to the court.

The Raptors' regular main lineup plays the half-court position, while the second team plays the fast offense.This is determined by the configuration of the lineup. It is not realistic to let Valanciunas and Amir Johnson run and play.

Ying Xiong basically plays without the ball in regular time, and plays with the ball much less than before.If he plays more with the ball, it proves that the team has encountered difficulties and needs him to take the ball to solve the difficulties himself.

In this case, Jeremy Lin and Lowry actually have a lot of ball possession, and these two are also guards who are better with the ball than without the ball.Of course, in the entire NBA league, there are not many point guards who are better off without the ball than with the ball.

The Bulls are behind, but their scoring has no continuity. Boozer can score, but he is no longer the Boozer of the Jazz.Facing Amir Johnson's dead defense, it was tough and inefficient.

Except for Boozer, Luer Deng was locked up by Ying Xiong, Noah is a defensive champion, scoring is not his specialty, and Jimmy Butler and Marquisteig can't beat the Raptors.

At the end of the half, the Raptors led the Bulls by 51 points 38:13.

The second half started quickly.On the first ball, Ying Xiong received a pass from Jeremy Lin, faced Jimmy Butler's single defense, leaned on his back and then turned over and made a jumper!
"There is a gap between Jimmy's height and wingspan, so it's too bad for defense!" Pippen said, shaking his head lightly.

"Scotty, if it were you, how would you defend?" Kevin Harlan quickly found the topic and started immediately.

Pippen smiled slightly, "If I was asked to defend, I would first restrict him from receiving the ball. When he did receive the ball, I would give him a physical confrontation to prevent him from making easy moves. To break through, judge the route in advance. Stuck in the position, go to the inside and ask teammates to help fill the position, try not to lose position. When shooting, be careful about fake moves, try to interfere as much as possible, and don't make it lightly."

"But it's not easy to do!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

"Of course, he should be a two-time scoring champion and an MVP. It is almost impossible to completely prevent death." Pippen smiled.
