Chapter 697 A New Halftime Scoring Record

Ying Xiong stood on the free throw line and made an extra free throw steadily.

Here JJ Redick used an off-ball screen to drift and miss a 3-pointer!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, came over with the ball himself, and gave it to Jeremy Lin, who was about to go down, and the latter threw the ball near the basket in the frontcourt...

Ying Xiong fell from the sky like a plane, received the ball in the air, and played a windmill dunk!

"The big alley-oop windmill? God! You can really do anything!" Mike Brin looked in disbelief.

The point difference was widened to 5 points, and the Clippers coach Doc Rivers on the sidelines immediately requested a timeout!
"In the first quarter, he fired with full firepower, which is a bit inconsistent with his usual habit of striking late!" Mike Breen said.

"Every player has his own rhythm. Maybe he feels that facing the Clippers, he needs to attack more. Maybe he feels better at the moment." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Back from the timeout, Jeremy Lin was replaced by Lowry, and the Clippers did not make any substitutions.

The game continues.

Paul dribbles over and points to Griffin.Griffin slammed the basket and scored the ball outside Paul.

Paul didn't touch the ball, so he divided Redick.

Redick shoots as soon as he catches the ball, and the speed of his shots is dizzying.

The ball crashed into the net, it was a 3-pointer!

DeRozan singles Redick was flanked by his opponent, and he made a mistake when the point was given to Amir Johnson and went out of bounds.

On the Clippers side, Redick once again used off-ball screens to catch the ball and make a 3-pointer—and hit it!
"Bang - JJ 3 points and [-] combos!" Mike Breen yelled.

When the Clippers were behind by 5 points, they quickly overtook the score with Redick's two 3-pointers.

This time, it was the Raptors who requested a timeout.

Pause back, the game continues.

Ying Xiong held the ball on the left wing, turned his back to Baye, turned forward and then turned back, and was fouled by the opponent during a jump shot.

Ying Xiong walked to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.

The Raptors overtake again!
"This game is very exciting! The scores on both sides have been leading alternately!" Mike Breen said.

"Well, it depends on who can get the lead first." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Griffin also caused a foul by Valanciunas!
Valanciunas has committed two fouls and was replaced by teammate Hansbrough.

In the next few minutes, due to the rapid accumulation of fouls on both sides, the game entered a free throw shootout in an instant.Not only did Valanciunas and Amir Johnson accumulate two fouls and were replaced by teammates, but the opponent's Jordan Jr. and Baye also accumulated two fouls and were replaced by teammates.

The player who replaced Baye was the "best sixth man"-Jamal Crawford.

Lowry dribbled over, screened and rolled with Hansbrough at the top of the arc, and then scored DeRozan.

DeRozan once again broke into Yingxiong.

Facing Crawford's defense, Ying Xiong directly held the ball and crushed it in. Facing the help defense of the big baby Glenn Davis, he hit the ball with his right hand.

"Whether it's Matt or Jamal, they are too thin to withstand the impact of Ying. To beat them, Ying doesn't even need to make too many changes of direction and feints." Jeff Van Gundy said.

In the first quarter of the game, Ying Xiong scored 22 points.If it weren't for JJ Redick's 3-pointer on the opposite side, the Raptors would have a good chance to widen the point difference to double digits.

The game entered a contest between the second teams of the two sides.The Clippers' second team relies entirely on Jamal Crawford to create and finish with the ball alone.He is the barometer of the combat effectiveness of the team's second team. Once he does not play well, the team's second team has a high probability of losing.

Today, Crawford's state is still very good, he led the Clippers' second team, and the point is a little closer.

Ying Xiong came to the court more than 2 minute earlier in the second quarter.

"Mike, I think this game should be a lot of points." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Is it because he scored 22 points in the first quarter?" Mike Breen asked.

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said, "No, it's because the two teams played very anxiously."

After Ying Xiong came on the field, his first shot missed!

Crawford scored 2+1 with high difficulty.After he made an extra free throw, the Clippers led by 1 point.

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

Ying Xiong used Hansbrough's pick-and-roll to break through Patterson who was outside the 3-point line in the right corner.

Patterson missed 3 points.

Ying Xiong grabbed the offensive rebound, passed Jordan Farmar with a cross dribble under his crotch, and succeeded in dunking with one hand through the big baby!
"Bang—Bang—Ying's dunk was so hot!" Mike Breen enthused.

The Raptors overtake again!
Crawford singles Yingxiong, a very difficult emergency stop jumper after Crossover-hit!
"Strike! God-like jumper!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

The atmosphere at the Staples Center is at its peak!

The Clippers overtook again!
Ying Xiong came over with the ball, faced Jordan Farmar, crossed consecutively, and suddenly made a 3-pointer - directly through the needle!
"Ying and Jamal seem to be on the bar!" Mike Breen said.

"It's a good game, isn't it?" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Crawford came over, faced the opponent, and forced a jump shot after consecutive crossovers, but the opponent directly "confiscated" the ball from the air!
Ying Xiong came over with the ball, went beyond the 3-point line at the top of the right-wing arc, and made another 3-pointer-continue to hit!

"It should be crazy! Completely crazy!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

Coach Rivers saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately requested a timeout!
After the timeout, the Clippers switched back to the main force, and corresponding to Xiong's defense, they also began to attack.

However, the Clippers' flanking attack did not bring good results. Instead, it was used by the Raptors to completely revive the offense.

As a result, at the end of the halftime game, the Raptors led their opponents by 62 points at 50:12.

Ying Xiong scored 2 points in the second quarter and 23 points in the half, creating a new halftime scoring record for his NBA regular season career (previously 45 points).

"Jeff, it seems you've guessed it right. Ying has already scored 45 points in the first half, and he is only 15 points away from his highest score in a single game." Mike Breen said with admiration.

"Not necessarily. If the Clippers have been flanking him in the second half, I don't think he will forcefully choose 1-on-2 in order to break his single-game scoring record." Jeff Van Gundy said.

The third quarter of the game will start soon.

The Raptors came up with a bad pass...and the Clippers came up with a 3-pointer by JJ Redick.Subsequently, Valanciunas walked under the basket, Paul broke through and caused a foul by Amir Johnson, and made two free throws, narrowing the point difference to only 7 points.

The Raptors didn't expect that their side would use up a timeout as soon as the third quarter started.

After a timeout, Jeremy Lin gave it to Ying Xiong.

The Clippers did not attack Xiong.The experience in the second half of the second quarter told them that once they choose to flank in advance, what awaits them is the high-efficiency offense of the opposing team. The individual abilities of NBA players are very strong, and they are still very confident in the face of opportunities to play more and less.
