Chapter 742 The MVP who plays center is invincible
Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong on the right wing.

Ying Xiong continued to pick and roll with Jeremy Lin, and the Warriors continued to switch defenses.

Ying Xiong faced Curry, continued to hold the ball with his back, and sat down to hit it.He squeezed two steps in, turned forward with a shake of his shoulders, and suddenly pulled out.

In the library, there is nothing to do with the male stem. There is an obvious difference in height between the two, and the speed of bullets is not at the same level. Jumping up to block, they may not even be able to touch the forearm.So his strategy is to cut the ball first, but not blindly, but cut at the right time.

But after Curry cut it, he immediately regretted it, because he didn't cut to the ball.At the same time, the referee's whistle also sounded——

"Foul?" Before Mike Brin finished speaking, Ying Xiong, who was still in the air, hit the ball steadily!

"What's the situation?" Mike Brin was a little confused, because everything happened too fast, and he needed to watch slow motion to figure out what happened just now.

"Should have just made a feint!" Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Mike Brin replayed it in slow motion, and clearly saw that Ying Xiong grabbed the ball with his right hand and left his chest when he was jumping with the ball. Taking advantage of his advantage in staying in the air, he hugged the ball back and hit a jumper.

——The whole action is done in one go, which is pleasing to the eye.This kind of action is absolutely impossible to complete without super strong physical coordination and airborne ability, because the referee will definitely call it a violation.

Ying Xiong stood on the free throw line, and under the interference of the home team fans in the Oracle Center, he steadily made an extra free throw!

"Jeff, should you do the action just now, have you never done it before?" Mike Breen said.

Jeff Van Gundy nodded and said: "Probably not, anyway, this is the first time since the playoffs."

"What do you think his purpose is? Obviously it can't be to show off!" Mike Breen asked.

"I think it might be trying to lure Stephen into a foul! For their team, Stephen is the greatest existential threat." Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Mike Brin nodded in agreement.

7:4, the Raptors lead their opponents by 3 points!
Curry dribbles over.He was a little annoyed at Yingxiong's playful actions just now. He used the cover at the top of the arc and directly rushed to the basket. Facing Yingxiong's defense, he made a hard layup...

But Ying Xiong came later and blocked Curry's layup directly out of bounds!
The two looked at each other at the basket, and the tit-for-tat in their eyes made everyone around them feel a little bit chilly.

"It seems that Stephen and Ying are on the bar!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"This is the finals! I've always said that basketball is too gentle now, and it's not as fierce as it used to be. Basketball is a man's sport, not snooker or golf!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

The Warriors continued to attack, and Curry made a 3-pointer from the bottom corner-no!
Ying Xiong received the rebound and made a pass to Terrence Ross who was going down the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, the latter passed Barnes and made a 3-point dunk!
At 9:4, the Raptors extended their lead to 5 points, and Warriors coach Steve Kerr on the sidelines requested a timeout!

"Steve asked for a timeout, and the Golden State Warriors didn't get off to a good start," Mike Breen said.

"If everyone is singled out, Toronto is actually not afraid of the opponent. The Golden State Warriors have such a good record in the regular season, not relying on singles, but an excellent offensive and defensive system. I saw Toronto also play small players at the beginning. Lineup, but worried about their interior defense, but playing center makes that less of a problem!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"I didn't expect to play center! We still underestimated Toronto's coaching staff!" Mike Breen said.

Back from the timeout, no substitutions were made on either side, and the game continued.

The Warriors passed a pass at the top of the arc, and Barnes made an empty cut to the basket and scored 2 points for a layup!
"Very good pass and cut. It seems that Steve made everyone move during the timeout and share the ball more. It is true that they played a bit dead just now, and they all stood there watching their teammates one-on-one." Jeff Van Gundy said.

The Raptors came over, and it was Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin who picked and rolled again, trying to switch Curry to Ying Xiong again.

What I didn't expect was that the Warriors adjusted their defensive strategy. Instead of switching defenses, they let Iguodala bypass Jeremy Lin from behind.

Unexpectedly, Ying Xiong suddenly made a sharp change of direction, taking the opportunity to speed up and cut directly to the inside.

When Iguodala went to chase again, he was already blocked by the opponent, and his speed was not as good as others, so he naturally couldn't catch up with his opponent.

Green came over from the basket to make up for him. Facing the menacing Ying Xiong, he was so fearless, and he kept talking trash to greet the opponent's family.

Ying Xiong had no scruples about Green who was chattering under the basket, and directly faced the opponent, took off with one foot, raised the ball high, and set fire to the sky!

Such a height is simply not within the reach of Green, who is only 198cm tall.

Under the gaze of so many people at the scene, Ying Xiong directly dunked Green and caused a foul!

"Bang——Bang—violent dunk, and extra penalty! So handsome!" Mike Breen admired.

"No matter how good Draymond can defend, the height is always a problem. If he wants to block the responder who has already started under the basket, the possibility is too small!" Jeff Van Gundy said a little helplessly.

Ying Xiong made an additional penalty, and the score became 12:6, and the point difference was widened to 6 points!
For the Warriors, Clay still didn't have a mid-range pull-up jumper!

Ying Xiong received the rebound, came over with the ball by himself, accelerated suddenly from near the center circle, and went straight to the frontcourt, turned around near the free throw line and passed Curry, gliding for a layup!
At 14:6, Yingxiong has not missed in the first quarter, and he has scored 5 points on all 12 shots!

The Warriors continue to suspend!
"Jeff, how do you see the game now, the Warriors' death 5 small power has not been played out, but the defensive end is almost broken by Ying alone." Mike Breen said.

"On the defensive end, Death 5 uses height for speed. The rotation speed is fast and the cover is good. The disadvantage is that there is no height inside, and protecting the basket is very problematic. Once a player like Ying is allowed to cut into the inside, unless he shrinks, Otherwise, with his ability, he can't stop him at all. You know, there is no one taller than Ying in the opponent's starting lineup!" Jeff Van Gundy explained.

"In the final analysis, it is caused by the inability to defend against him alone!" Mike Breen said.

"Well, it's really difficult to limit single-handed defense, and he can go inside and outside. If you shoot anti-burst, he can kill you suddenly. If you shoot, he can shoot you to death. It's really frustrating!" Jeff Van Gundy Said helplessly.
