Chapter 685 Destroying James' Replacement

Section 3 started soon.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong on the right wing.

Yingxiong lobs to Valanciunas under the basket, allowing the latter to play Bosh with his back in the low post.

Valanciunas played hard with his back, using his height and footwork, he succeeded in a strong attack at the basket!

"Jonas still has an advantage in the low post one-on-one against Chris." Reggie Miller said.

"I didn't hit the ball by myself, did I just see that Jonas is in a better position and has an advantage in the low post?" Mav Albert asked.

"Yes, the ability to read the game, is very strong," Reggie Miller said.

For the Heat, Bosh made a 3-pointer -- but didn't.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to Valanciunas in the low post, letting him continue to eat Bosh alone.

Valanciunas likes low-post offense very much, and he is also good at this. It is not his strong point to let him go down the pick-and-roll or shoot from the outside.At this time, the team is leading the score, and his offensive touch is also good, so his desire to attack is naturally stronger.

Seeing that Bosh was at a disadvantage in the low position, Luer Deng couldn't help but go over and attack.At this time, Valanciunas had a clear mind and quickly passed the ball to Ying Xiong who was open on the outside.

Ying Xiong catches the ball without any hesitation, jumps up and makes a 3-pointer—a direct hit!Since being taught by his mentor Shao Ziqiang in the summer, coupled with the hard training during the offseason, he is now more decisive and confident in shooting 3-pointers.

The point difference has been widened to 15 points, and the American Airlines Center arena is very quiet.The fans didn't know what to do. No one expected that the gap between the two teams would be so big.Is it just because of LeBron's departure?
Coach Spoelstra requested a timeout!From the beginning of the third quarter, the team did not score too many points, and was beaten violently by a role player of the opponent. This is something the team cannot tolerate.

"Reggie, this season's 3-point shooting seems to be better than last season!" Groom Albert said excitedly as if he had discovered a new world.

Reggie Miller nodded and said: "That's true. His 3-point shots accounted for a higher proportion of his total shots this season than any previous season. In addition, I found that when he shot 3-pointers, More decisive, faster shot."

After returning from the timeout, the Heat's teenager Sean Williams hit two consecutive 3-pointers and also stopped the Raptors.

The Heat fans at the scene seemed to see hope, and the atmosphere on the scene recovered a bit, not as pale as before.

After a timeout, Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Ying Xiong on the left wing.

Ying Xiong faced Luer Deng with the ball, while his teammates pulled away to give him space for singles.Obviously, the tactic deployed by the Raptors during the timeout was to let the leading star play singles.

Luer Deng lowered his center of gravity, clapped his hands, and faced the one-on-one with the counterpart with a provocative and confrontational attitude.

The Heat fans at the scene were all excited, screaming and cheering.

Ying Xiong holds the ball in both hands, lifts the ball over the back of his head, and then holds the ball to his waist, taking a tentative step.

Luer Deng was not deceived by Ying Xiong's fake moves, and kept his defensive position firmly, not daring to put it too far away, nor did he dare to get too close, using his long arms to interfere with the opponent's line of sight.He was thinking, what kind of attack method would the opponent choose, would he simply retreat and attack, or would he choose to break through?If it breaks through, is it going to the bottom line or the top line?
The answer was soon revealed.

After Ying Xiong made a false move to break through to the upper line, he quickly pressed his center of gravity and broke through the bottom line with his left hand.His breakthrough speed has not been raised to the highest level, so that the opponent will not be thrown away after clenching his teeth.

When Ying Xiong approached the baseline with the ball, he was flanked by Wade in the bottom corner.In this case, he took his time, pulled the ball from his crotch to his right hand, and moved laterally to the upper line.

At half a step inward from the free throw line, Ying Xiong stopped suddenly and made an emergency stop.

Luer Deng tried his best and took off to block the shot.However, after he took off, he regretted it, because Ying Xiong didn't jump at all...

Ying Xiong swayed Luer Deng away with a fake move, took off for the second time, and made a steady shot!
"Good shot!" exclaimed groom Albert.

"Groom, don't underestimate this ball. Anyone who has played professional basketball knows that this kind of shooting actually tests a player's basic shooting skills and psychological quality, because the shooting rhythm is actually lost." Reggie Miller explained.

Groom Albert naturally believed deeply in the views of Reggie Miller, the NBA's historical marksman, and nodded in agreement.

Ying Xiong hit a jumper, which made the cheers of the Heat fans quieter, while Luer Deng clapped his hands vigorously in annoyance. He was very angry that he was deceived by the opponent's fake action just now.

For the Heat, Ruhr Deng took the ball, singled out Yingxiong with the ball, and hit back with a mid-range jumper!

The Heat fans at the scene were extremely excited and cheered for this newly joined strong supporter.

Ying Xiong got the ball again on the left wing, pulled the ball down from his crotch after a breakthrough, and stepped back to make a jumper—hit again!
Lu Er Deng came over and tried to return another one, but was blocked by Ying Xiong...

Ying Xiong counterattacked with the ball. During the counterattack, he hit the ground with one hand to DeRozan who was going down quickly. The latter caught the ball and dunked it!
The Raptors played a small climax, and the Heat suspended again!

"Miami still can't do anything about it!" Groom Albert said helplessly.

"Defensive response is actually a multiple-choice question. With his ability, as long as he plays normally, it is difficult to be restricted by a single player. Therefore, whether to use double-teaming or single-defense followed by partial defense and flanking, his opponent needs to think carefully. .Miami trusted Ruhr very much and allowed him to defend alone, but it turned out that even Luhr Deng, who was in the best defensive team, could not restrain Ying." Reggie Miller said.

From the matchups in these rounds, as long as the Heat fans are not deluding themselves, they can also see that there is a clear gap between Luer Deng and Ying Xiong.

In the next game, the Heat have been chasing points, but it is difficult to really turn the score over.Whenever the score is close, Ying Xiong will stand up and use his offense and passing to help the team score.

The Heat were kept under pressure until the end of the game.

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Heat in back-to-back away games and ushered in a 3-game winning streak.Yingxiong played 38 minutes and made 24 of 16 shots, including 3 of 9 5-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 46 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks without making a single turnover. , The perfect performance helped the team win away.

On November 11th, the Raptors sat at home to face the challenge of the Thunder, a strong team in the West.The Thunder, including the "Two Young Thunder" Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, were both absent due to injuries, and only 5 players from the team played.In this game, they lost the game without any suspense and gave their opponents 8 consecutive victories.
