Chapter 888 Another No. 13 Rookie
"No matter how tight the game is and how strong the opponent's defense is, you should still be able to use your super personal ability to forcibly tear through the opponent's defense!" Chauncey Billups said.

On the Jazz's side, Hood cut out from the right wing, faced the defense of the hero, forced a breakthrough with his left hand, reached near the free throw line, forced a pull, and shot a jumper-but was blocked!
Ying Xiong received the ball and pushed directly to counterattack, but was destroyed by Hood's tactical foul!
"Rodney can be considered a tall guard, and it's really rare to be blocked!" Greg Sager said.

"Rodney is 6-foot-8, but he seems to have a 6-foot-8 wingspan. Responsible wingspan, you know!" Billups explained.

DeRozan sent the ball out of bounds, Lowry received the ball, and then divided Yingxiong in the frontcourt.

Facing Hood's defense, Ying Xiong took the ball to his right hand and scored DeRozan after being flanked.

DeRozan's breakthrough was also flanked, and Yingxiong was divided again.

With the help of a cover, Ying Xiong made a 3-pointer after moving laterally-the whistle sounded!
Hood made a 3-point foul!There was booing.

"Fortunately, the goal was not scored, otherwise Rodney's goal would be too bad!" Greg Sager said.

At this moment, there was a timeout on the sidelines!It's from the Jazz!

Back from the timeout, Hood, who had committed two offenses, was replaced by Donovan Mitchell, the No. 13 rookie of the Jazz this year.

Mitchell has performed well in the past few games. Although he is not selected high, he has performed quite well and has been called a strong contender for the best rookie of the season by the outside world.

The 13th overall pick in the first round, No. 2, it is easy to remind people of the famous Lakers Kobe Bryant.You must know that Kobe also started as a substitute at the beginning, and then counterattacked, step by step to the pinnacle of life.

Of course, there is still a certain gap between Mitchell's physical condition and Kobe's. He is only 2cm tall when he plays the 191nd position, which is a bit short.However, in this generation, the height of the No. 2 position generally drops, and a No. 203 position like Ying Xiong with 2cm is already the tallest category.

In this generation, the 2nd position must be able to hold the ball and start the pick-and-roll with the ball.At the beginning of this century, many No. 2 positions were mainly off the ball, and outside shooting was the main offensive method.

Ying Xiong made 3 of 2 free throws and the Raptors led by 5 points!
But since Mitchell came on the field, he shot from inside and outside, helping the home team to equalize the score in an instant!

The jazz fans at the scene were extremely excited and kept cheering and screaming for him.This team lost its head star Gordon Hayward this summer, and its desire for star players is extremely strong.The emergence of Mitchell once again made everyone hopeful about the team's prospects this season.

The second team of the Jazz led by Mitchell played very energetic and aggressive.The Jazz is a team that is stronger in defense than offense, and the emergence of offensive strengths makes this defensive team very difficult to deal with.

By the time Yingxiong returned to the court in the second quarter, the Raptors were already 2 points behind their opponents!

"Interesting, I like this rookie very much! Coach, let me guard him!" Ying Xiong volunteered.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Coach Casey readily agreed.He wished Yingxiong could defend Mitchell. This rookie gave him quite a headache. DeRozan and Powell had nothing to do with him just now.

"If Donovan continues to perform like this until the end of the season, he will definitely have a place in the best rookie list!" Greg Sager said.

"Greg, you know, Donovan's technical characteristics remind me of 'Pearl' Monroe!" Chauncey Billups said.

"There are indeed some similarities, Chauncey, you observe carefully!" Greg Sagel said with a smile.

"It seems that Donovan should be defended himself!" Billups said with a smile.

"It's a great treat to be able to defend No.1 in the league in person. As a rookie, this is something to be proud of." Greg Sager said.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to DeRozan.

DeRozan singles Mitchell, turns over a jumper-no!
Gobert accepted the rebound and handed it to Lu Yizhong to advance.

Rubio came over with the ball and gave it to Mitchell on the right.

Facing the defense of the corresponding hero, Mitchell used the pick-and-roll to cut in.He is like a loach, seemingly not fast, but he changes a lot of directions, and finally he hits a high rebound-hit!
The point difference was widened to 5 points!
"Donovan's ball was so beautiful that he couldn't even defend it!" Greg Sager said.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball halfway, and Ying Xiong cut out from the right wing to catch the ball.

Facing Sefoloza's defense, Ying Xiong started the pick-and-roll, held the ball near the free throw line, faced Gobert who was huddled under the basket, and forced a jump shot-yes!
The point difference came to 3 points again!
Ruby's Olympic ball came over and looked for Mitchell at the top of the arc.He suddenly discovered that Ying Xiong started to prevent Mitchell from catching the ball!

Yingxiong's defense is very good. Using his excellent movement and height and wingspan, he firmly controlled Mitchell's receiving range.Even though Mitchell tried to flash out of the open space many times, he failed once.

"It should start to get serious, Donovan won't let the ball catch!" Greg Sager said with a smile.

"Donovan is definitely the first rookie who deserves so much attention in the regular season." Billups also said with a smile.

For the Jazz, Favors missed the shot!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, held the ball forward, faced Sefoloza at the top of the arc on the right wing, and after consecutive crossovers, suddenly cut in, overtook Favors, took off with one foot, took off in the air, and flashed in the air Mitchell blocked the shot and made a dunk!

"It's been in the air for too long!" Greg Sager said in surprise.

Only 1 points left!
On the Jazz side, on the offensive end, because Mitchell was surrounded by Yingxiong, they could not get offensive opportunities, so they could only play other tactics.In the end, the chance came to Rubio, who shot a 3-point shot—three non-stick...

But Yingxiong came over, attracted the pincers and gave it to DeRozan, who made a mid-range jumper!

The Raptors overtake!
Jazz coach Schneider can only request a timeout!

"The situation changed so quickly, and Toronto took control of the situation again!" Greg Sager said.

"It's a turning point to defend Donovan himself. Just now Donovan was in good shape, but if he couldn't catch the ball, his threat was less than half." Billups said.

Back from the timeout, Mitchell was replaced by Hood.Although he didn't play well at the moment, the fans at the scene still gave him warm applause.The fans are still very tolerant. You must know that he is only a rookie after all, and it is not easy to score a goal under the care of the two-time best defensive player.

Come step by step, after all, you have to eat in one bite.
