Chapter 219 The Tough Rookie
After the timeout, Ying Xiong knew that if he guessed correctly, Durant, Jeff Green and Westbrook, the "Three Young Masters of the Thunder", would definitely have one to respond.Of course, he is defending Durant, so it is enough to manage his own people.
The Thunder set two off-ball screens for Durant.Durant used the cover to run, and after receiving the ball, he stopped in the middle distance and pulled up...
Ying Xiong squeezed through the cover forcefully and swiftly, and jumped up to block the shot - he didn't get it!
Durant is too tall!The shot is also very fast!But fortunately his shot missed!
"Beep beep—" the referee's whistle sounded——
Ying Xiong looked at the referee suspiciously, and saw the black referee make a thug gesture!
Ying Xiong hurriedly explained that he didn't have a thug, and the referee said that he hit the opponent's wrist!
"I'm XX, it's fine!" Ying Xiong was completely speechless.He didn't touch Durant's shooting hand. At most, the cells on the fingertips could touch his hand, but those are cells, so can this count?
Ying Xiong can only laugh at himself and masturbate, because it is impossible for the referee to change the sentence!
Due to Yingxiong's 2 fouls, he was replaced by teammate Charlie Bell.At this time, there are 5 minutes and 02 seconds left in the first quarter.
Durant went to the free throw line and made 2 free throws!
应雄下场前，数据为2投2中，其中3分球1投1中，得到5分2篮板1助攻1失误。
Durant was also pulled by the coach after grabbing one rebound over the next two possessions.
After both Ying Xiong and Durant were off the court for two days, the Thunder played better than the Bucks.Compared with the Bucks, the Thunder have less pressure. They are already playing badly, and it is better not to win.But people are like this, in the absence of pressure, the offensive shots are more decisive, and the hit rate is higher.
As a result, at the end of the first quarter, the Thunder led the Bucks by 24 points at 22:2.
Ying Xiong didn't replace Charlie Bell until more than 4 minutes into the second quarter. The player who played less time than him in the starting lineup was center Gadzuric.
When Ying Xiong played, Durant happened to also play, and the two will usher in a new round of confrontation.At this time, the score on the court was 30:33, and the Bucks were 3 points behind.
Ridnour dribbles over and hands it to Sessions at the top of the arc.Villanueva came up to set a screen, and after the opponent switched defenses, he got a pass and singled Weaver.
Villanueva played big and small, and beat Weaver with the ball, but the latter was tough enough, and the two had intense physical contact.In the end, Villanueva missed the attack.
The rebound was protected by Durant and given to Westbrook to advance.
Westbrook dribbled to the high post and used the screen to make a strong breakthrough.The Bucks play "one big and four small", and it is Villanueva, a power forward, who protects the inside, and defense has never been his strong point.
So the Bucks can only shrink and protect the basket.
Westbrook made a breakthrough and gave the ball to the open Jeff Green. The latter didn't know if he was not used to being unguarded. His hands softened a little, and the unguarded open shot missed...
Ying Xiong jumped high and aggressively took the rebound with one hand.After getting the rebound, he immediately chose to advance, which surprised the players on the Thunder team, and Durant didn't take strict precautions against him.
Ying Xiong advanced quickly with the ball, and dribbled the ball behind Westbrook who came to gamble for a steal.Just when everyone thought he was going to be a one-stop player, he suddenly gave the ball to Ridnour, who was near the free throw line in the frontcourt, and the latter took the ball and scored a layup!
Here Westbrook missed a jump shot, the Bucks counterattacked, Ying Xiong ran away from Durant in an accelerated run, received a second pass from Sessions, and made an easy layup at the basket!
34:33, the Bucks lead by 1 point!
Here, Durant saw that the team was unable to start the situation, so he played singles with the ball.I saw that he was a Crossover first, and then forced a right hand.
Ying Xiong is also very tough, defending very well, giving some room for breakthrough, but not giving easy shots, and constantly creating physical contact, trying to consume the opponent.
Yingxiong's defense made Durant feel very uncomfortable and annoyed, so he chose to go straight up, and forced to take 3 steps-throwing shots-and come out of the basket!
Ying Xiong roared, jumped high, protected the rebound forcefully, and handed it to Ridnour to advance.He was not afraid of Durant's murderous eyes, and looked at him without any fear.
Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Ying Xiong is just a weakling with no potential, and he is not worthy of being compared with a quasi-All-Star player like Durant.But he never thought so himself.He demands himself with the goal of being an All-Star player or even the best player in the league.He can't control how others see him, but he can make himself confidently face anyone.
Ying Xiong still sank to the bottom corner when he came over. Since he scored a 3-pointer just now, Durant didn't dare to let him shoot arbitrarily, and he never left his surroundings.This is completely different from the level of emphasis at the beginning of the first quarter.
Ridnor broke near the bottom line and had no chance for a layup, so Ying Xiong scored in the bottom corner.
Ying Xiong directly faced Durant and made a 3-pointer-this really scared Durant and the fans at the scene!
——This Yingxiong, is his confidence bursting?
Ying Xiong's 3-pointer was very decisive and fast.When he was in the CBA, he was once pointed out by his teammate Rodney White because of his slow shooting speed.Since then, he has been working hard to improve his shooting speed.Today, although the 3-point shots are not accurate enough and the shooting rate is not stable enough, the shooting speed is fast enough!
Durant was shocked into a cold sweat. If all the goals were scored, his face would really have nowhere to go!
Ying Xiong's 3-pointer still missed, but it was almost the same. It belonged to the kind of "go in and come out" ball, and it belonged to the category of bad luck.
The basket was a mess.Mbah a Moute hit the ball out with a black palm, and the ball landed in Ridnor's hands like a ghost. The latter hurriedly wanted to pass the ball to the weak side player, but the Thunder's Weaver saw through and directly intercepted the ball!
Weaver was looking for someone with the ball, but Ying Xiong accidentally took the ball away...
After Ying Xiong stole the ball, instead of looking for someone in place, he took advantage of the trend and wiped it off the basket.
Durant defended, and Ying Xiong faced the opponent without dodging. Facing the opponent's big spider-like arm, he directly chose-separate-dunk! ! !
Whether it was the players present, the coaches, or the fans present, no one expected that this thin yellow-skinned Asian rookie would make such a bold and bold move.
The on-site commentator couldn't help exclaiming: "Bucks' No. 25 Yingxiong, what is he doing!"
Durant didn't expect Yingxiong to be so bold. He thought that the opponent wanted to make a foul or something, but he didn't expect the opponent to directly dunk himself. This made him have to use his best in order not to become the background board of today's five best goals. Take off with all your might.He decided that even if it was a foul, he couldn't let the opponent succeed in the dunk!
