Chapter 406 Lore or Overtime
The second half of the game started soon.The Raptors changed the lineup at the beginning of the second half. Amir Johnson replaced Aaron Gray and was responsible for marking Millsap.
Calderon dribbles slowly across half court.As in the first half, Rajabell of the Jazz still used the defensive method to prevent Yingxiong from receiving the ball.
The Raptors' countermeasure is to let Amir Johnson go to the high position to make an off-ball screen for Ying Xiong to help his teammates catch the ball smoothly.
After Ying Xiong received the ball, he faced Rajabel with the ball and called Bargnani to come up with a pick-and-roll.
The quality of Bargnani's pick-and-roll is not high, and although the Jazz's two insiders are not tall, they move quickly. Favors followed Bargnani out, delayed Yingxiong, and then Rajabel went around the screen and continued. defense.
The purpose of the Jazz is to prevent the Raptors from using pick-and-rolls to play dislocations, give full play to the advantages of Rajabell and Favors' fast movement, and make it difficult for the opponent's pick-and-rolls to play a real role in an instant.
Ying Xiong held the ball, and there was not much time left to attack. He smiled wryly, and said in his heart: "It's really nerve-wracking!" Suddenly, he made a crossover and changed direction to his right hand.
Rajabel reacted quickly, and he was not completely out of position, but he was somewhat overtaken by the opponent by half a position.
Ying Xiong held the ball and pushed it in forcefully, taking advantage of his strength to kill directly to the basket.There is a certain gap between Rajabel's weight and him. In this case, it is natural to lose steadily.
Ying Xiong rushed to the inside, and because Favors was pulled to a high position by Bargnani, the 203cm Millsap was protecting the frame at the basket.
Ying Xiong rushed to the paint area, suddenly jumped and reached the bottom of the basket, and then made a realistic fake, shaking both Millsap and Rajabel.He seized the time difference and made a good shot on the board.
At 46:54, the score changed from double digits to single digits.
Here, Favors missed the hook at the basket——Ying Xiong grabbed the rebound, advanced quickly with the ball, and missed a 3-pointer...

Facing Favors and Millsap under the basket, he took off hard, twisted his waist in the air, and smashed a pass to Bargnani outside the 3-point line on the left with both hands. The latter caught the ball and made a 3-pointer-hit !
At 49:54, with only 5 points left, coach Tyrone Corbin requested a timeout!
After the timeout, Millsap singled Amir Johnson under the basket, causing the latter to foul.
Millsap made two free throws!
Calderon slowly dribbled the ball over. At this time, Rajabel's defense was more active, almost as if hanging on Yingxiong, making it difficult for him to pass the ball easily.
Rajabel's tough defense also aroused Ying Xiong's high fighting spirit, and he ran directly to Calderon to pass the ball hand-to-hand.
Rajabel grabbed too hard and was called for a foul!
Ying Xiong received the ball at the top of the arc and made a gesture. Bargnani and Amir Johnson on the inside came up to pick and roll him.This double screen surprised the Jazz, Favors and Millsap also followed.
The moment Ying Xiong took advantage of the double cover, he suddenly changed direction, and then stepped forward with his long legs, like a sharp sword, cutting straight into the opponent's hinterland.
Ying Xiong's breakthrough momentum was like a rainbow. At this time, the basket was empty, and Hayward was assisting in the defense.
Facing the white striker, Ying Xiong ran directly to the basket as if facing the air.
Hayward adjusted his pace as if he was facing a big enemy, predicting the opponent's offensive choice.
Ying Xiong took 3 steps, jumped high, fully stretched his body, used his left hand as a block, and drew his right hand like a bow. Then he concentrated his strength on his arms and slammed the ball into the basket.
Hayward seemed to be intimidated by Ying Xiong's aura, forgot to take off for a while, and could only look up and watch the opponent ravage his own basket in front of him.
Ying Xiong's Tomahawk dunk was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing most of the enthusiasm of the Jazz fans.
After Ying Xiong dunked the basket, his murderous eyes caused Hayward beside him to shiver, and at the same time, the fans behind the basket fell silent.
The point difference is still 5 points, but the momentum of the Raptors has returned.After adapting for most of the game, I also adapted a lot to the environment of Salt Lake City.
Here, Favors still missed the rebound, and Bargnani protected the rebound and handed it to Ying Xiong to advance.
Ying Xiong dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, facing Rajabel, who was still sticking to him, suddenly made a sudden stop, and then directly pulled it out—a fake move!The old and spicy Rajabel was also fooled, and his body jumped up uncontrollably.
Ying Xiong took advantage of the opportunity to rub against Rajabel and made a 3-point foul.
Ying Xiong walked to the free throw line and made all 3 free throws under the interference of opposing fans.
The point difference is only 2 points. At this time, the Jazz, who were playing at home, began to worry.
However, in this game, the Jazz's Millsap and Devon Harris were very stable. They used their personal abilities to continuously score on the offensive end.Amir Johnson and Calderon couldn't contain each other despite their efforts.The second team competition between the two sides was a tie during this period.
With 8 minutes and 12 seconds left in the final quarter of the game, Ying Xiong returned to the court. At this time, the score between the two sides was 80:85, and the Jazz took the lead.
Almost the whole game was suppressed by the opponent, which made Ying Xiong feel a little tired.This kind of fatigue is not only caused by the physical discomfort brought by the plateau home itself, but also because of Millsap and Devin Harris, who played exceptionally well today.
In the final quarter of the game, Ying Xiong continued to attack fiercely. He only scored 9 points in the first half, but in the third quarter alone, he scored 3 points.
The Jazz still regard Ying Xiong as the opponent's most important scoring point and defend heavily, but Ying Xiong is not so easy to restrict, double-teaming and quickly throwing the ball, Bargnani benefited from this and made consecutive hits.
The score between the two sides has been deadlocked until the final stage of regular time. At this time, there are 11 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Raptors hold the ball!
Coach Casey used up the last long timeout to make arrangements.The Raptors will definitely run out of time, and the Jazz will definitely not foul easily, because both teams have reached the point where fouls are free throws.
So if the Raptors successfully send the ball, it is either a lore or an overtime.
Calderon stood on the sideline to serve. The Jazz defended very tightly and almost violated the 5-second serve.The ball was sent out, and Ying Xiong received the ball near the center line.
As soon as Ying Xiong moved forward, he was double-teamed by the opponent. He quickly sent the ball to DeRozan, DeRozan scored for Calderon, and Calderon scored for Bargnani outside the 45-degree 3-point line.
