Chapter 794 Heaven-Defying Offense and Defense

"The lower limit? What about the upper limit? No ball handler?" Mike Breen asked.

"The upper limit has been reached in the regular season, but not in the playoffs. It's not the lack of ball-handlers, but the lack of ball-handling superstars! No matter how amazing Stephen is, his physical fitness and technical characteristics determine that he can't score as he should!" Jeff Van Gundy said .

"Would it be possible to add LeBron to a team that has already won 73 wins? My God, it's unimaginable!" Mike Breen said with a long breath.

Back from the timeout, Iguodala rushed to the basket and caused Patterson's foul!
Andre Iguodala goes to the free throw line, but he misses two free throws...

"Andre's free throw, are DeAndre and Dwight really possessed?" Mike Brin was a little speechless.

"Let's not talk about Andre's free throw, just Steve's adjustment after the timeout is the right way." Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Kill inside?" Mike Breen asked.

"Well, in fact, Toronto's ability to protect the inside frame is also very average. No matter how good he is, he is still an outside player, and if he is transferred to the outside, the person who protects the frame will become Patrick or Terrence .The Golden State Warriors blindly float outside the shot, it will only allow the opponent to expand the defense zone bigger and bigger. Appropriately increasing breakthroughs can make it more difficult for the opponent to defend." Jeff Van Gundy said.

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

Facing Iguodala, Ying Xiong didn't pick and roll with Jeremy Lin. He suddenly made a breakthrough with a change of direction from the lower back, stuck the opponent, and when he held the ball near the free throw line, he made an emergency stop to pull the ball, and then used the rhythm change of the dribble. Go further in, and break through the opponent twice.

Green assisted in the defense, and Ying Xiong gave the ball to Patterson who was open outside the 3-point line in the left corner!
Patterson makes a 3 - but no!
Ying Xiong fell from the sky, picked up the rebound from the tops of Green and Iguodala, didn't dribble at all, went straight up, scored the ball, and caused a foul by the opponent!

"And one!" exclaimed Mike Breen.

"It can't be said that Andre and Draymond didn't defend well. Such a lineup has too much space for such players, and they can do whatever they want!" Jeff Van Gundy said helplessly.

"What's the difference between LeBron's breakthrough and his response?" asked Mike Breen.

"In my opinion, maybe LeBron's strength and impact are better, but Ying's starting speed, shooting ability, fake action ability and other aspects are better, which also makes it more difficult for the opponent to guard against!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Ying Xiong walked to the free throw line, and the fans of the home team kept shouting "MVP".The fans shouted so loudly on purpose, there is a very important reason for Stephen Curry, who just won the regular season MVP.It was really because of Stephen Curry's outstanding performance that he took away the regular season MVP trophy that Raptors fans thought belonged to Yingxiong.Also because of this, Ying Xiong missed the honor of regular season MVP for the fourth consecutive season.

Ying Xiong made an additional free throw and the Raptors led 9:3!The team scored 9 points in the opening game, all from him.

The game continued.The Warriors cooperated with an air cut. Barnes received a second pass from Curry and made an air cut to the basket for a layup, but was "served by hot pot" by Ying Xiong.

Barnes received the ball and then went up—Ying Xiong gave the second cap of this round of offense!
The ball flew straight out of the touchline.

The Raptors players and fans roared excitedly, and the team's momentum was like a rainbow.

The Warriors throw the ball in bounds, and Clay pulls up for a jumper—miss!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, came over with the ball by himself, chased his body and made a 3-pointer——continue!

Mike Brin and Jeff Van Gundy looked at each other and were speechless...

Steve Kerr called for a timeout again!This is not what he wants to do. Of course he knows the importance of the timeout, but if the game loses suspense early, keeping the timeout is not a treasure.

Ying Xiong scored all 5 points for the team on all 12 shots in the opening game, and dominated the court with his unsolvable offensive and defensive performance.

The Air Canada Center was almost like a festival, with fans hugging, cheering and screaming excitedly.

Sun Jing witnessed all this, seeing her beloved in the world's highest-level basketball league, the excitement and excitement in her heart made her eyes wet.

"Is the Golden State Warriors clipping, or not clipping?" Mike Breen said calmly.

"In this case, this decision is not easy to make. If you attack, it is tantamount to overturning the team's pre-match plan, and the defensive skill of this team is to switch defenses infinitely. To defend with a defensive method that you are not good at, yes The pressure on the team and the hit to confidence was huge," Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Don't do this, are you waiting for Ren Ying to break the record?" Mike Breen waved his hand.

"So...it's hard!" Jeff Van Gundy smiled wryly.

Pause back, the game continues.

On the Golden State Warriors' side, Iguodala suddenly scored an arc to top Clay.Clay feinted a shot and then dashed to the basket, causing a foul by Patterson!
This is already Patterson's second foul, which is the only bad news for the Raptors, who are now going smoothly.

The referee indicated that the ball was an early foul, and the Raptors' team foul hadn't reached the point of free throws, so Clay didn't get a free throw chance for the ball.

Patterson has committed 2 fouls and will be replaced by his teammates.Both Valanciunas and Scola thought they were going to play, and were about to wait for the coach to call their names and get up to replace Patterson.

Unexpectedly, Coach Casey didn't call any of them, the name he called was James Johnson!
Not only Valanciunas and Scola were a little surprised, but even the fans at the scene couldn't understand why Coach Casey let James Johnson play in such a crucial game.

James Johnson hasn't officially entered the rotation since the playoffs, making only a few appearances in garbage time.He's a substitute player for the team.But coach Casey and Ying Xiong both know his strength, but he has no chance to play when the team has a lot of wing players, not that he really has no strength.

"Isn't Devin planning to let Jonas and Lewis play?" Mike Brin looked at Jeff Van Gundy suspiciously.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "Let these two people play, and the movement speed of these two people provides a good opportunity for Stephen to take advantage of shots. I guess Devin let James play because of his comprehensiveness!"

The game continued, and the Warriors served in the frontcourt.

The Warriors made use of an air cut, Iguodala cut in, forced a layup and was interfered by James Johnson who had just played-miss!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, brought the ball over by himself, and gave it to James Johnson who followed up, who made a through pass to Terrence Ross, who made an air cut from the left wing.

Terrence Ross catches the ball and scores an easy layup!
