Chapter 450 The first round of the playoffs G2
On May 5, the Raptors continued to sit at the Air Canada Center Arena at home, and played the second game of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with the Magic.The game is far from starting, and there are already crowds of people outside the arena.The big victory in the first game made Raptors fans look forward to the next G1. If they can win this game and go to the away game with a score of 2:2, the promotion situation will be very good.
Ying Xiong appeared handsomely in a black suit, sunglasses, earphones, and a handbag with the initials of his and Sun Jing's names printed on them.In terms of appearance, in the entire NBA, there are not many players who can compare with him, and Parsons of the Rockets is one of them.
The atmosphere at the Air Canada Center is very good. The ticket price for this game has doubled several times, but it is still hard to get a ticket.The fans who didn't get the tickets seemed to have lost something very important. Individuals could hardly accept this reality, and even lost control of their emotions.
——Compared with last season, such a situation is unimaginable.
Ying Xiong is naturally the favorite of Raptors fans. His popularity is so high that he is definitely in the top 5 in the league. His jersey sales are coming from behind. He has surpassed Dwyane Wade and other superstars, ranking third in the entire league, second only to Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
In this game, the visiting team Magic, which lost in the last game, did not make adjustments to the starting lineup, and was still the starter of the last game.The Raptors at home will naturally not take the initiative to change because they won the last game.
The Raptors were a little surprised that the Magic did not change, but they were not shocked. You must know that the Magic's bench lineup is not strong, lacks depth, and there are no "super-six" characters, so the team has little room for adjustment. Much smaller.
For the Raptors, this game is bound to be won. If they lose, their home court advantage will be taken away by their opponents. Facing an opponent with more experience than themselves, it will be difficult to play without home court advantage; For the Magic, if the two away games fail to win, then the pressure to return to the home court in G3 will be particularly high. If they lose G3, it indicates that the series will end early.Because since the NBA playoffs were restructured into a 7-match 4-win system, no team has been able to reverse the 0:3 big score.
Jump ball or big baby VS Along Gray.
The big baby got back the field with the jump ball this time and beat the opponent's big white Along Gray.
Nelson dribbled the ball halfway and handed it to Turkoglu who came out.
Naturally, Turkoglu couldn't play Yingxiong. With the help of the big baby's solid pick-and-roll, he broke through step by step, split the bottom corner Richardson, and the latter caught the ball and missed a jumper.
The big baby flew in the air, took off the rebound on Along Gray's head, and made a strong inside - was blocked by Along Gray abruptly!
Calderon grabbed the ball and passed it to Yingxiong.
Ying Xiong sped up quickly, striding forward with his long legs, the old arms and legs on the Magic's flanks couldn't keep up with him.The big baby inside and Ryan Anderson can only watch, and the only one who keeps up with him is guard Nelson.
However, Nelson returned to the defense. He was less than 183cm tall. Seeing the 203cm Yingxiong coming like a tide, he had no choice but to go out and steal the ball.If it's really stupid to defend at the basket, besides having a high probability of being dunked by the opponent, would you like to make a foul?Thank goodness for not being flew over the head by the other party.
Nelson rushed to steal the ball. His center of gravity was very low and his body was strong. His plan was to try to slow down the opponent if he couldn't break it all at once, and then surrounded him with other teammates.
However, the ideal is plentiful, but the reality is cruel. Facing the rushing Nelson, Ying Xiong hardly even changed his eyes.
The screams of the fans started. They knew that, as the league's new generation dunk king, Ying Xiong would definitely use a dunk as the end of this attack.
Ying Xiong held the ball, adjusted his pace, dribbled to the edge of the paint, jumped with both feet, soared high, swung his arm with his right hand, and slammed the ball into the basket!
"Big windmill!" The fans shouted together!
Turkoglu served from the bottom line with a deadpan face.
Nelson dribbled the ball and gave it to Turkoglu for transition, and then to Richardson in the bottom corner. No chance, he returned to Nelson at the top of the arc.
Nelson and the big baby pick and roll, holding the ball and rushing inside, and the moment they made a layup, Ying Xiong, who was assisted in the defense, directly "confiscated" the ball from the air.
After landing, Ying Xiong accelerated with nitrogen in the backcourt, passed Richardson in an instant, and quickly threw the ball to Calderon in front when the opponent surrounded him.
Calderon followed up with James Johnson. The latter took 3 steps after receiving the ball and succeeded in smashing with one hand!
After the opening, there were two dunks. The momentum of the Raptors was completely different from the opening of the first game. The victory in the first game was not only a 1:0 score, but also self-confidence.
Nelson dribbles over, blocks and cuts with his teammates high, and splits the empty cut Richardson.After Richardson received the ball, he forced DeRozan and caused a foul.
The Magic's out-of-bounds tactics, the big baby succeeded in a sneak attack at the basket!
Here Yingxiong missed a 3-pointer - the rebound was hit by Along Gray and was taken by Calderon.
Along Gray came out to cover, Ying Xiong suddenly cut inside to copy the back door, received a point from Calderon, and scored 2 points with a quick layup under the basket.
Here, Turkoglu used the pick-and-roll to force a mid-range shot, and he also hit!
Ying Xiong dribbled the ball across half court and held the ball to the top of the arc on the right.Facing Turkoglu, when he had signs of singles, the nearby Richardson quickly rushed over to double-team.
Ying Xiong immediately gave it to DeRozan. DeRozan didn't shoot a 3-pointer. After taking two steps, the opponent's defense also arrived. He made a strong shot-and missed.
Big Baby accepted the rebound and handed it to Nelson to advance.
Here, Nelson rushed to the basket and caused Along Gray's foul!
Nelson made two free throws to tie the score!
From the lead to the tie, everything seemed to happen without warning, as if it happened subtly.The Raptors fans at the scene felt a little weird, and they didn't think the opponent was too good like they did just now.
Calderon dribbled the ball halfway and gave it to Ying Xiong who came out.
Turkoglu still defends alone, but once Yingxiong wants to play singles, the nearest players will come to attack.
Ying Xiong quickly saw the opponent's defensive strategy, and he didn't attack himself without thinking. When he wanted to attack Turkoglu alone, the nearest player came over to attack and emptied the 3-pointer of DeRozan and James Johnson. point.
This defensive method has obvious disadvantages.Attacking a player with fast ball speed and good passing vision in a high position means that in many cases, you have to face a situation of less defense and more defense.In this case, either fight for the player's rotation speed, or strategically let go of one or two players' outside long shots, and concentrate the force on the key players.
