Chapter 499 Gradually on the right track
George Hill dribbled the ball and gave it to Gerald Green who came out of the bag. Facing DeRozan's defense, the latter directly pulled out a 3-pointer-hit!
Cheers erupted at the scene. Gerald Green is such an unreasonable player. Sometimes his shot selection can be criticized, but his ability to force points regardless of defense is reminiscent of another nerve knife. Character - JR.
With only 1 point left, Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over.
Paul George is like a magnet, as if attracted to Ying Xiong.His task in this game is to defend Yingxiong to death.If Ying Xiong can be restrained, even if he loses 1 point, the task can be regarded as completed.You must know that in this alliance, no one dares to pat his chest and promise that he can kill Yingxiong 1-on-1.
Ying Xiong wanted a position on the left waist, and had a fierce physical confrontation with Paul George. The opponent was naturally unwilling to let him easily grab the position.
Jeremy Lin's pass was bold, Ying Xiong didn't completely seize the position, but the ball flew past.
But at this time, Paul George didn't dare to take the risk of stealing the ball.He is very clear that once he can't break it, he will be completely out of position, and the opponent will be open after receiving the ball.
After Ying Xiong received the ball, he turned his back to Paul George.
The two are similar in stature and weight, and there is no misalignment.
Ying Xiong holds the ball in his right hand and sits on his back.
Paul George lowered his center of gravity to prevent Ying Xiong from pushing in easily, and at the same time beware of the opponent turning around and going inside.This kind of defense is very difficult because the opponent has so many options.A player of Yingxiong's level can shoot suddenly, with fast speed and many fake moves, and it is necessary to prevent him from giving his teammates instant passes.Of course, it is impossible to prevent all his offensive options. Paul George's goal is to force the opponent to the inside as much as possible if he really can't control it, and then attack inside and outside with Hibbert.
Ying Xiong holds the ball, turns forward and then turns back, shakes his shoulders after receiving the ball, then turns around from the baseline, jumps and throws his shot...
Paul George was confused by Yingxiong's series of turns and footsteps, and was almost shaken to the ground. He had no energy to block the opponent, so he could only yell to scare the opponent, trying to make the opponent miss the shot.
Ying Xiong made a solid shot!The fans of the home team at the scene gasped-this Ying Xiong has improved again... You must know that last season, he had a back attack, but he had never done such an attack.The action just now reminded many fans of Kobe's back attack.
Ying Xiong learned the back-up technique from Dameng this summer. Although this incident was not publicized, it was still dug up by the media, so many fans knew about it.You know, you know, the shocking feeling brought by witnessing it with your own eyes is completely different.
On the Pacers side, Stephenson made a strong move from the basket and caused a foul by Bargnani.
Stephenson made two free throws, and the difference between the two sides was still 1 point.
Jeremy Lin came over with a dribble and continued to lob the ball to Ying Xiong's left-wing waist to hit Paul George with his back.
Ying Xiong leaned on his opponent with his back, half turned around and swayed his shoulders, suddenly handed the ball to his left hand, and turned quickly to the baseline.
Paul George reacted fairly quickly and hurriedly followed, but was still caught by Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong holds the ball in his left hand. Facing Paul George's physical confrontation, the hard training in the summer has paid off. He does not suffer at all and his body is very stable.
Ying Xiong held the ball near the 3-second zone, faced Roy Hibbert's defense, suddenly made a step, then took off, and moved from left to right.
Hibbert and Paul George took off together and blocked the block together.
Ying Xiong used the strength of his waist and abdomen to pull the bar for a layup, throw the ball from the arms of the opponents, hit the backboard and bounce into the basket.
"Wow—" There was a sigh of relief.
The Pacers' defense against Xiong is a single defense, let Paul George defend alone, and suddenly he burst into the inside, let Hibbert block the shot.
In fact, even though Paul George is a player with outstanding personal defensive ability in the younger generation of the league, he still cannot restrain Yingxiong in a one-on-one situation.
Yingxiong has too many offensive weapons, not to mention the front frame, absolutely top in the league, shooting whether with the ball or off the ball, is the league's top, and now he has developed a back... how to defend against this f*cking ?
When other teams in the league defend Yingxiong, they often use some flanking attacks, whether it is local more or less or online pressure flanking, forcing him to pass the ball.Since this season, his offensive desire is not strong, so many teams don't use so much flanking when defending him.
But who would have thought that at the beginning of the last game, Ying Xiong's desire to attack returned. No, the Pacers are now facing this problem, whether to attack or not.
During the timeout, Coach Vogel made adjustments. He allowed Paul George to be a little tighter when defending, increase his strength, and force Ying Xiong to break through to face Roy Hibbert.
After a timeout, Ying Xiong faced Paul George. Seeing that the opponent was so tight, he directly crossover and cut in.Facing Hibbert who was like a mountain, he directly scored a jumper before the opponent blocked the shot, and did not give the opponent a chance to block the shot at all.
Hibbert could only spread his hands in anger and complain.You must know that the Pacers often use this trick to deal with James and Wade, but the same trick loses its due effect when facing the counterparts.Ying Xiong's mid-range pull-up jumper is very accurate in the half-court position, and it is one of the stunts he relies on for survival.People tend to ignore that he is an excellent mid-range jumper because of his unsolvable breakthrough and finish at the basket without dead ends.
Ying Xiong broke out in the second quarter and scored 2 points in a single quarter to open the score.
In the third quarter of the game, the Pacers stepped up the defense of the corresponding hero. Stephenson and David West served as the auxiliary defenders.As a result, DeRozan and Bargnani began to show off, and the two scored 3 points in a single quarter, instantly widening the point difference to more than 21 points.
In the last quarter of the game, the Pacers, who were desperate for offensive ability, were unable to make a comeback and could only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home.
In this game, Ying Xiong continued his excellent performance. He played 31 minutes and made 25 of 14 shots, including 3 of 5 3-pointers and 8 free throws. He scored 39 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 1 A block, helping the team get their first two-game winning streak since the regular season this season.
Jeremy Lin and DeRozan also scored a total of 35 points. The 3-point firepower of the three outsiders made it difficult for the Pacers to parry.
