Chapter 436 An Outstanding Player
DeRozan's breakthrough made the Grizzlies lose sight of one another. In this case, they could only give up flanking Yingxiong and help defend him.
As a young scorer with an average of more than 15 points per game, DeRozan is not as threatening as Yingxiong, but he cannot be underestimated.The Grizzlies aren't bold enough to let him sprint inside for a layup.
Unexpectedly, when DeRozan was half a step away from the free throw line, he suddenly stopped and gave the ball to Ying Xiong, who was 45 degrees outside the 3-point line on the left.
After receiving the ball, Ying Xiong didn't stop for a moment. He made a feint, which didn't shake Tony Allen, but caught Conley's attention.
Almost instinctively, Conley let go of his defender and rushed over.
At this moment, Ying Xiong hardly looked at it and threw the ball directly to the left corner.
At the bottom corner at this time, it was Bayless who had been marked by Conley just now, and he was in the open.
Conley came back to his senses and wanted to pounce again, but it was too late.
After receiving the ball, Bayless made some adjustments and shot the ball steadily... He felt very good on the 3-pointer in this game, and he had the highest shooting percentage in the team. Now he got such a good offensive opportunity, he naturally Don't let opportunities slip away from you.
Bayless' 3-pointer flew towards the basket under the nervous eyes of the fans...
“唰——”球进得相当干脆！这是一粒3分球！猛龙队以93:90，在距离比赛还剩27秒的时候，领先了3分。
This offense was arranged by Coach Casey.He predicted that the opponent would take strict precautions against Ying Xiong, and asked Ying Xiong to be a bait, let DeRozan, who was the second best in the team's ability to break through the ball, to feint, and then assigned to Ying Xiong, the team's strongest ball handling ability, to deal with this time. attack.
Unexpectedly, Ying Xiong didn't make a strong shot himself, but passed the ball to his teammate who had a better chance and felt hotter.For the head coach, it is extremely gratifying that the star players in the team do not waste their shots and focus on the overall situation.
It only took 10 seconds for the Raptors to attack this wave and scored a 3-pointer. This is the best result for them.You know, in 27 seconds, even if the opponent consumes all 24 seconds and makes a 3-pointer, they still have 3 seconds to attack.With a long timeout left, serving in the front court has every chance and time to kill the opponent.
In other words, the Raptors are basically unbeaten in regular time.
The Grizzlies used their last timeout.For them, falling behind by 3 points is an extremely uncomfortable situation. Their team is not good at 3-point shots, and in this case, the opponent will definitely stick to the 3-point line. They would rather give a 2 points than let them shoot easily. 3 points.
Of course, the Grizzlies can also play a quick two-pointer, then foul immediately, and bet on the other party's free throws.
Some fans even hugged their heads in pain. Is the home team going to lose to the opponent in this difficult game?
Come back to the field.The Grizzlies made personnel adjustments, and OJ Mayo replaced Tony Allen.Tony Allen is a good defensive player, but his offensive ability, especially the mid-range shooting ability, is not even as good as some big men.
OJ Mayo serves.
The Raptors were aggressive, but not aggressive.Coach Casey told them not to foul during the timeout, and would rather let the opponent score than foul.If you foul while serving the ball, it will only make the opponent stop and go to the free throw line in vain, which is too much to lose.
The ball was sent out, Gay caught the ball and gave it to Conley, and Conley quickly passed the ball to the black bear Randolph under the basket.
Randolph took the ball and opened the way with his head, carried Amir Johnson away, and made a strong shot at the basket-missed!
However, Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound!He took off directly and made 2 attacks.Bargnani was pushed aside by him long ago, and he could only watch the opponent ravage his own basket.
At this moment, a long arm covered with yellow skin firmly pressed Xiaojia's layup on the backboard.When everyone was falling, the yellow-skinned arm caught the basketball.
This yellow-skinned arm naturally belonged to Ying Xiong, because he was the only yellow man in the two teams.
After Ying Xiong took the ball, he protected the ball well and did not give Conley and others the opportunity to be "empty-handed".
In desperation, Conley could only step forward and foul.
The fans at the scene let out a deep sigh.When the game ended with less than 20 seconds left, the opponent led by 3 points and had to execute 2 free throws. There was no timeout for this side.
No matter which situation you look at, the possibility of the home team winning this game is very, very small.
Under the watchful eyes of the fans at the scene, Ying Xiong slowly walked to the free throw line.
Ying Xiong took a deep breath and steadily scored the first free throw.And his free throw for this goal basically cut off the Grizzlies' hope of an offensive equalizer.
Ying Xiong also hit the second free throw!
The Grizzlies had no timeout and could only serve from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, Gay took an ostrich leg and started to attack from the backcourt.But he was a little too impatient, haste makes waste, and was cut off by Ying Xiong.
The Grizzlies don't foul anymore, let the time run out!
In the end, the Raptors defeated the Grizzlies 95:90 away and avenged their previous loss to their opponents at home.After winning this game, they ushered in 4 consecutive victories, and their total record became 30 wins and 14 losses, continuing to consolidate their ranking in the Eastern Conference.
应雄本场比赛上场39分钟，25投10中，其中3分球7投2中，罚球10罚8中，得到30分16个篮板8个助攻5个抢断5个盖帽的准三双数据。其中，16个篮板和5个盖帽是他NBA职业生涯常规赛的新高，之前的记录分别是13个和4个。
After the game, Grizzlies coach Hollins said that Ying Xiong is an excellent team leader and an "excellent player"!He thinks it's not that Tony Allen's defense is not good enough. On the contrary, Tony Allen has already defended very well, mainly because Ying Xiong is so good.
Raptors coach Casey thinks that he is very happy to avoid being double-killed by his opponent this season. He is very pleased that Yingxiong trusted his teammates at critical moments and distributed the ball to teammates with better opportunities. This is the essence of team basketball that he has been emphasizing significance.
Ying Xiong was besieged by reporters in the locker room. Since he entered the All-Star Game, his popularity has remained high and he has become the darling of the media. He will be besieged and intercepted by reporters in almost every game.
After defeating the Grizzlies in an away game, the Raptors will continue their road trip. Their next opponent is going to Charlotte back to back to challenge the Bobcats.
Even in back-to-back games, the Raptors didn't get bogged down by physical issues when they faced the league's fat Bobcats.They easily defeated their opponents in only 3 quarters and ushered in a 5-game winning streak.
