Chapter 886 Consecutive plateau away games

The Raptors continued to counterattack. Yingxiong got the ball in the frontcourt, turned around and passed Wilson Chandler, cut to the basket, faced Murray who was helping to defend, Eurostepped away from the opponent, and succeeded in dunking with his left hand!
Murray also paid a foul because he couldn't brake in time!
Ying Xiong stood on the free throw line and made an easy free throw!

The point difference was narrowed to only 2 points left!
From the 13 points when the point difference was the largest to the 2 points at this time, less than 4 minutes have passed.Under Ying Xiong's leadership, the situation on the field was completely reversed.

"Ying's role on the field is too prominent. With him, Toronto seems to have changed teams." Mav Albert sighed.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't compare him to Michael! He should be the kind of player who can improve the team by a large amount no matter which team he goes to. No team would dislike such a superstar. said Chris Webber.

Nuggets coach Mike Malone did not continue to call a timeout, and the game continued.

For the Nuggets, Wilson Chandler attacked the basket without the ball and was jointly blocked by Ibaka and Siakam!

The Raptors switched, and DeRozan chased a mid-range jumper - also!
The two sides draw!

For the Nuggets, Harris missed a 3-pointer!
Ying Xiong took the rebound, but he didn't rush to counterattack!On the other hand, the Nuggets gave up the rebound and retreated to the defense!They were frightened by the stormy counterattack of their opponents just now, and they felt a little frightened.

Ying Xiong dribbled the ball by himself, and at the top of the arc, signaled his teammates to pull away.

The rest of the Raptors worked cooperatively to help him space the floor.

Ying Xiong held the ball at the top of the arc and faced Wilson Chandler.

"Should you be able to fight yourself?" Chris Webber asked suddenly.

"It looks like he's planning to come by himself!" Albert the groom replied.

Ying Xiong consumes the attacking time with the ball behind his crotch, and Wilson Chandler, who is standing in front of him, does not dare to get too close to steal the ball or test the pressure.

Wilson Chandler knew Ying Xiong's strength very well. He knew that the opponent could overtake him in one step when he was going up, so he would rather face the possibility of being shot by the opponent than force him up.The invisible murderous aura emanating from the other party made him feel very uncomfortable.

When there were 10 seconds left in the attack time, Ying Xiong started... He didn't make a pull, crossover with the ball and went to the left, and after making an emergency stop to worship Buddha, he tricked Wilson Chandler who was defending him!

After Ying Xiong took a big step laterally, he easily made a jumper from the free throw line!

The Raptors overtake!
"Why should such a crucial goal be achieved in such an effortless way? His strength is too unfathomable!" Mafu Albert was completely convinced.

The Raptors played a wave led by Ying Xiong in the second quarter to help the team overtake the score and reverse the situation of the game in one fell swoop.

By the end of halftime, the Raptors had already surpassed their opponents by 8 points!

Ying Xiong scored 32 points at halftime, and proved to the home audience with his actions: the plateau doesn't have much influence on me!
Intermission.

"Chris, from the performance point of view, Denver really showed its own characteristics this time, but looking at the score, it is still 8 points behind!" Groom Albert said a little puzzled.

"Denver's problem has never been offense. Although they don't have such superstars who can score 50+ at any time, the overall offense is very good, with many offensive points, inside and outside. Their problem is on the defensive end, because the lineup The innate defensive flaws of the opponent are infinitely magnified when they encounter the opponent's Bug-like flexible lineup and Bug-like superstars." Chris Webber said.

In the second half of the game, the Raptors increased their defensive strength in the third quarter. In this case, the Nuggets' offensive efficiency declined significantly.

The Nuggets' inability to score has affected the emotions of the players, making them less penny-pinching on the defensive end.Originally, the defensive talent was not enough, so it was even more impossible to restrict the opponent.

Ying Xiong is extremely efficient against everyone, and he is almost in a state of no solution.He scored 30 points in the second half and 62 points in the game, setting a new record for his highest score in a single game this season.His 62 points are the league's highest score in a single game so far this season, and he is also the only 60+ in the league.

Relying on their stronger strength, the Raptors finally defeated the Nuggets in an away game and ushered in a 3-game winning streak.

After the game, when the reporter asked Nuggets coach Mike Malone why he didn’t implement the flanking strategy from beginning to end, coach Mike Malone smiled wryly: “It’s not that we don’t have flanking, but we found that once we flank, we will lose faster! Should be the best player in the league, and he's showing it."

On November 11th, the Raptors ushered in the last opponent of this wave of western road trip-the Utah Jazz!

Coincidentally, the Raptors will play two consecutive plateau away games, which is a big test for their physical fitness.It is natural to be more prone to panting when racing at high altitudes than at low altitudes.But the good thing is that the second plateau away game should be more adaptable than the first one.

The Utah Jazz's Salt Lake City Plateau home field is more plateau-like than Denver's Pepsi Center Arena. This venue is called the "Devil's Home Stadium" by NBA players and coaches. Many strong teams in the league have fallen into hard battles here. It can be seen that this field is not easy for the visiting team.

Like the Nuggets, the Jazz are a young team.With a record of 51 wins and 31 losses last season, they ranked fifth in the Western Conference and advanced to the playoffs strongly.Under the coaching of Coach Quinn Schneider, this "civilian team" without superstars is a new force that other strong teams in the Western Conference and even the entire league dare not underestimate.

But this promising team lost its young star Gordon Hayward in the past offseason.

Hayward became a free agent this summer. After consideration, he joined the Boston Celtics coached by his college mentor "Marshal" Stevens.

But unfortunately, Hayward suffered a serious injury in the first game of the season on behalf of the Celtics against the Cleveland Cavaliers, fractured his calf, and was reimbursed for the season.

It was a lose-lose for the Jazz and Celtics.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Jazz at home is: center - Rudy Gobert, power forward - Derrick Favors, small forward - Joe Ingles, shooting guard - Rodney Hu Germany, point guard-Ricky Rubio.

The starting lineup of the Raptors in the away game is the same as the previous game.

The game was explained by Greg Sager and Chauncey Billups.
