Chapter 645 The Role of Super Giants

The Eagles lead by 2 points!
The fans of the Raptors began to get a little emotional. The opponent was the 8th in the East who was reimbursed by the All-Star center for the season. How could the scene not suffer at all, but still lead in the score... Not to mention that the home team is still the defending champion, and it is still playing at home!
Ying Xiong came over with the ball, with a calm face, the fans couldn't see too much from his face.He took the ball to the left wing, faced Carroll who was facing a big enemy, and made a gesture.

The Raptors' players on the court quickly pulled away, allowing him to play Carroll one-on-one on the weak side.

"It seems that the ball is going to come by itself!" Craig Sager said.

"Well, when the team's situation fell into a passive situation, Ying should stand up!" Reggie Miller nodded.

Ying Xiong crossed the ball under his crotch, faced Carroll's defense, suddenly crossed to the left, then quickly caught a crotch drop ball to the right, and then followed the right hand to break through with big strides, flashed out of the body and made an emergency stop Distance jumper shot - accurate hit!His whole set of movements was swift and smooth, one after another, uninterrupted.It seems that if Carroll is not out of position, he will have follow-up actions.

"Strike!" Craig Sagel yelled.

The two sides are tied!

In the rest of the second quarter, the Eagles' sharpshooter Korver and power forward Millsap began to show their strength, while the Raptors' side, Ying Xiong began to exert their strength, and the two sides began to show an evenly matched situation.

At halftime, the two teams tied at 50!
"I didn't expect the 8th-ranked Hawks to tie with the 1st-ranked defending champion Raptors in the first half. It's really incredible!" Craig Sager said in surprise.

"Craig, there are no absolute underdogs in the NBA. In NBA games, anything can happen!" Reggie Miller said.

"Reggie, do you think the second half should be strong?" Craig Sager asked.

"Yes, I think it will, it should be a competitor, he will not want this situation to continue like this." Reggie Miller said.

Some fans at the scene were very worried, worried that the team would capsize at home.But most fans still have confidence in the home team. There is no reason for this team to lose to the Eagles.

The second half of the game started quickly.Jeff Teague slowly dribbles over.

The Eagles' style of play is all soldiers, and the ball moves quickly, but at the beginning of the third quarter, the Raptors' defensive strength has obviously stepped up to a higher level.The defense started to get on the body, started to grab the position without the ball, and defended the ball.

In this case, the Eagles, which focus on team offense, began to feel a little uncomfortable.As a result, they were forced into a 24 seconds.

The fans at the scene were very excited because they saw that the mental outlook of the home team was different from that in the first half.

"Reggie, Toronto's defense at the beginning of the third quarter is starting to work!" Craig Sager said.

"Well, the defensive strength has come up, Craig, just look at it, the game looks good!" Reggie Miller said with a smile.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over and gave it to Ying Xiong, who was on the right wing.

After Ying Xiong received the ball, he turned around and went under the basket to face the double defense of Millsap and Antiche, and passed the ball from behind his head to Amir Johnson on the other side. The latter caught the ball and made an easy shot. !
"Good shot!" Reggie Miller exclaimed, "How this ball should have seen Amir, the timing is so well controlled, it's amazing!"

Through the cooperation of the Eagles, Millsap made a strong move from the basket and was blocked by Valanciunas!
The Raptors team switched, Ying Xiong received Jeremy Lin's second pass and directly passed Teague and made a layup!The fans at the scene cheered, and the momentum of the Raptors quickly rose.

Eagles coach Budenholzer immediately requested a timeout!
"It seems prudent for Mike to ask for a timeout so quickly!" Craig Sager said.

"This is the playoffs, and it's an away game. If the home team shows momentum and wants to press down, it will be too difficult when the strength of the opponent is not as good as it is." Reggie Miller explained.

After the timeout, the Eagles arranged a breakthrough tactic, allowing Teague to misplace and force Valanciunas, causing the opponent's defensive foul.

This is the Raptors' first team foul, so before free throws, the Eagles continued to serve in the frontcourt.

The Eagles served the ball from the frontcourt, Teague received the ball, and used Antiche's pick-and-roll to break through and cover Korver, but when the latter was about to catch the ball and was about to shoot, Ying Xiong suddenly shot out from a diagonal stab, a shot Cut off the ball in Korver's hand.

"When did he appear in that place? Does he know Atlanta's tactics?" Craig Sager exclaimed.

"According to my corresponding understanding, he usually watches the game videos of other teams in the league, and he is a player with a good memory. He can memorize many tactics after watching it. In the situation just now, he let go of his defender. , It’s not surprising to go after Kyle!” Reggie Miller explained.

DeRozan got the ball and immediately handed it to Ying Xiong to advance the fast break.

Korver wanted to make a tactical foul, but Ying Xiong was too fast to pull anyone.

Ying Xiong quickly advanced with the ball, and there was only one Eagles defender left in the frontcourt.

Carroll stepped back and observed Yingxiong's direction of travel. He was considering whether to foul, because the frontcourt is 1-on-1, and there is still a certain probability of defending.But he is afraid that if he fouls, the opponent will cause a shooting foul. With Yingxiong's free throw percentage, this is almost the same as giving the opponent 2 points for nothing.

Carroll finally decided to defend it. It was really impossible to defend, and it would not be too late to foul.

Ying Xiong scored the 3-point line with the ball, and before Carol approached him, suddenly, the ball in his hand disappeared...

Carol was stunned, and Ying Xiong also disappeared... Just when Carol came back to his senses, he found that Ying Xiong had jumped high, caught the ball in the air, and dunked aggressively with both hands!

"Should pay homage to Tracy, self-throw dunk, rebound dunk!" Craig Sager shouted.

Carol froze in place, he never thought that Ying Xiong would end this round of attack in such a way.This is almost a scene that only appears in the All-Star Game or the Slam Dunk Contest, but it actually appeared in the playoffs.

"Using super control and a lot of talent beyond the opponent, he completed this offense!" Reggie Miller sighed.

The Raptors have rewritten the score to 56:50, and the Hawks, the opponent, have not scored since the second half.

Budenholzer was burning with anxiety and blushing.Today's Eagles played very well in the first half. He hoped to steal an away game, but if this trend continues, this wish will come to nothing.He doesn't think the team can beat the mighty defending champions in this series, but he doesn't want to be swept the way.
