Chapter 204 Another "China Derby"
In the past few days of Christmas, Ying Xiong has not been idle, but has been practicing the use and switching of the "five styles" in Wu Qin Xi.The time and frequency of practice are not much, and there is no actual combat practice, so it has not yet reached the state of being able to do whatever you want.But fortunately, I can switch step by step, which can be regarded as some small progress.
On December 12, the Milwaukee Bucks played against the Detroit Pistons at home.This game is the Bucks' first game after Christmas. Facing the Pistons, which defeated them not long ago, they really want to take advantage of the momentum at home to defeat their opponents and complete their revenge.
Ying Xiong met his idol Allen Iverson again, and he felt much better.For him, although the situation is difficult, being able to watch the idol's game live can be regarded as fulfilling one of his wishes from another level.
With Richard Hamilton out due to injury, Iverson once again returned to the starting lineup as the starting shooting guard.
After the start of the game, the two teams fought hard to defend, and the success rate of both teams' offenses was not high.Iverson used his breakthrough to frequently assist his teammates to score.In order to defend him, the Bucks reuse Tyronn Lue.At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two sides was very close.
The turning point of the game came in the third quarter.In this quarter, Iverson scored and assisted frequently under the defense of Tyronn Lue, while Tyronn Lue was shooting like crazy.
Although the Bucks recovered a little point difference in the last quarter, it was too late.The point difference in this game is not very big, so Ying Xiong didn't get a chance to play.
In the end, the Pistons defeated the Bucks in an away game and completed the "two consecutive kills" of their opponents.
On December 12, the last game of the month, the Bucks beat the Spurs in an away upset.At the last moment of the game, Duncan of the Spurs missed the last shot and unfortunately lost the game.
The Bucks adopted a 9-man rotation in this game, and Ying Xiong naturally had no chance to play.
Ying Xiong himself is used to this situation. He had no plans to play in this trip to Texas.Both the Spurs and the Rockets are strong teams. If they play, it means that the game has been spent.The possibility of the Bucks blowing up the opponent in an away game is very small, so they have to play, which means that the home team is blown up.He still has a sense of collective honor and doesn't want this to happen.
On January 2009, 1, the Bucks challenged the Rockets away.For Xiong, this game can be played against Yao Ming's team. Although he may not have the chance to play, he is looking forward to it.
Since Yao Ming joined the Rockets, many Chinese companies have aimed at this big cake and cooperated with the Rockets.Therefore, in the Toyota Center, home of the Rockets, you can often see strong Chinese elements.Yao Ming is the pride of China's basketball community and has a huge influence. The status of the Rockets in China has become extremely high because of this, and they are known as the "NBA home team".
During the shooting training before the game, many media reporters from China came to interview Yao Ming and Ying Xiong.Before the reporters interviewed, the two hugged and greeted each other, and the friendship between them was self-evident.
This game was also dubbed another "China Derby" by the outside world.Since there are currently 4 players from China in the NBA league, and they are in 4 different teams, so with the competition between these 4 teams, the gimmick of "China Derby" will no longer appear. So it's fresh.Besides, apart from Yao Ming, the other players from China were very mediocre. This so-called derby was actually nothing to watch.
Many Chinese and overseas Chinese came to the game, and they all came for Yao Ming and Ying Xiong.Although Ying Xiong didn't get many chances in the Bucks, in the eyes of these Chinese, it was worthwhile to be able to see this talented compatriot on the spot.Of course, it would be even more perfect if we could see him play.
In this game, the Bucks' starting lineup is the same as the previous games, still playing the "big and four small" lineup.
The starting lineup of the Rockets is: center - Yao Ming, power forward - Luis Scola, small forward - Tracy McGrady, shooting guard - Aaron Brooks, point guard - Ralph Alston.
After the start of the game, the two teams fell into a bitter battle.The two No. [-] picks in the center fought hand-to-hand, but obviously Yao Ming was better.McGrady's poor hand feeling made the Rockets unable to widen the point difference.
However, the Rockets are stronger after all, gradually grasping the advantage of the game in the second quarter, and the score slowly opened.Since then, the Rockets have missed consecutive shots. After the Bucks scored 2 points in a row, they chased the score to 6:36 in the first half.
The Bucks began to counterattack in the third quarter, but the effect was not good.The stable performance of Yao Ming and "Brick and Stone" Scola made it difficult for opponents to parry.
火箭在主场以85:81击败雄鹿，雄鹿客场对火箭9连败。姚明砍下“20+10”的两双数据，应雄并没有得到上场机会。
After the game, Ying Xiong and Yao Ming shook hands on the sidelines.Yao Ming said in Ying Xiong's ear: "Persevere, the opportunity will definitely come!"
Ying Xiong smiled slightly. He was very grateful and fortunate to have a compatriot like Yao Ming in the NBA who gave him a lot of help.Competitive sports are both cruel and realistic. He has gradually gotten used to the NBA, understands the cruelty here, and understands the meaning of persistence.
Since the Bucks will soon return to their home court in Milwaukee to face the Charlotte Bobcats, Ying Xiong declined Yao Ming's dinner invitation.For him, there are very few opportunities to play, but the schedule is the same as other players who have playing time.
On January 1, the Bucks played against the Bobcats at home.The Bucks are not doing well recently. Although the team boss Michael Reed has returned, Villanueva and Mbah a Moute, who performed well before, performed very mediocre.However, compared with the Bobcats, whether it is overall strength or record, they have a big advantage.The game is at home, and they have just returned from Texas' 3-game losing streak. They naturally hope to end their losing streak on the underdog Bobcats.
Before the game, Ying Xiong practiced shooting on the court.For him, there is no doubt that the team does not want to reuse him, so what he can do now is to practice hard, improve his skills and confrontation, and prepare for the future.Of course, if there is a chance to play in garbage time, it would be good.He no longer expects to play in the normal rotation time. It is a more realistic expectation to be able to play in the garbage time to exercise and accumulate some game experience.
首节比赛开打。雄鹿队的头号进攻手迈克尔里德在第一节就7投6中砍下了18分，其中3分球3投2中，雄鹿也凭借他的神勇表现以29:25领先。
In the second quarter, Reid continued to feel hot and scored another 2 points. He had scored 10 points in the first half, and the Bucks continued to expand their advantage.
In the third quarter, the Bucks once led by 3 points and entered the final quarter with 20:76.
