Chapter 502 Complete the bet and break the scoring record!
Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and picked and rolled with Varan in the high post.The Celtics still use a high-position flanking method, forcing the ball holder to find it difficult to get good opportunities with the pick-and-roll.
Ying Xiong is still cruising the frontcourt without the ball. His offensive positioning made the old man Paul Pierce secretly complain. It’s really not forgiving. I think I was a chasing boy back then, but now I have a pair of old legs. Every step is sour.
Jeremy Lin gave the ball to DeRozan, and DeRozan gave it to Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong caught the ball near the baseline on the left side, faced Pierce, and directly took the ball to the line to make a strong breakthrough.This kind of lightning-like activation and decision-making, even KG like an octopus, has no time to rotate from near the 3-point line.In fact, KG is also getting old. If it was his peak period, he might be able to do it. Now, his movement speed is not as fast as before.In a race against time, you will lose in the end.
Pierce couldn't keep up with Ying Xiong's footsteps. He tried to use his strong body to speed up and slow down the opponent, but when the two sides touched each other, he didn't take advantage of it.He was secretly startled, this Yingxiong, compared with last season, the improvement in confrontation and strength is more than a little bit.Suddenly, he had an ominous premonition, not only the team's bad luck in this game, but this season, regardless of whether the Heat's Big Three can't beat it, even the Raptors led by Ying Xiong, it is difficult for their own side to compete.
Ying Xiong rushed near the penalty area, facing Bass's help defense, he slammed around, pretending to pass the ball to Valanciunas on the other side of the basket, but in fact he made a layup.
When Bass was stunned, Ying Xiong had already scored a layup!
It is difficult to defend Yingxiong in a one-on-one situation, but no one in the Celtics starting lineup can really protect the frame except KG.High-position flanking, three-point two, and rapid rotation are a challenge for players who mainly hold the ball, but there are also shortcomings. The protection of the inside line and backboard rebounds is a weakness.
On the Celtics side, Terry forced a 3-point shot after a single block, causing DeRozan to foul.Being tricked into a foul by Terry again, DeRozan felt as aggrieved as he wanted.The other party was extremely cunning, and instead of confronting him head-on, he would always engage in some small tricks and tricks, which made him very irritable, but there was no good way.
Terry made 3 of 3 free throws, and the point difference was narrowed to 4 points.
Here the Raptors are still using Jeremy Lin's high-position pick-and-roll tactics. This response is to rely on Bargnani's cover, receive Jeremy Lin's assist, and hit the ball with a 3-pointer from the left corner!
The difference is back to 7 points!
Pierce used the pick-and-roll to fire from mid-range - also hit!
Ying Xiong made an empty cut to the basket for a layup-miss!But he shot and robbed himself, and made a tip-in in the air!The Raptors seem to focus on Yingxiong, making it difficult for the Celtics to guard against. Coach Rivers immediately requested a timeout!
The scene was a little quiet. Ying Xiong scored 3 points in less than 7 minutes of this quarter, which was completely different from his offense in the first half.The aggression and offensive desire he showed in the second half made the Celtics fans feel a little cool.
After the timeout, the Celtics did not make any major adjustments on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, they no longer pinched the ball-handler Jeremy Lin from a high position, and KG guarded the basket to protect the frame to prevent Ying Xiong from breaking through. Inside scoring.
But at this time, Ying Xiong started firing from outside.Facing Pierce's single defense, he fully demonstrated his scoring versatility as a super scorer.Whether it's an emergency stop jumper using a screen, a half-open 3-pointer, a pull-up 3-pointer, or a jumper after changing direction with the ball, it's all at your fingertips.
Pierce could only spread his hands to express his helplessness, and KG wanted to attack, but before he finished the attack, Ying Xiong had already made a move...
In the third quarter alone, Ying Xiong scored 3 points in a single quarter, only 24 point away from his record in a single quarter. After the 1rd quarter, his total score in this game has reached 3 points, and he is only 34 points away from the 50-point betting score.
Coach Casey didn't know why his love suddenly became so aggressive. In the first half, his desire to attack was obviously not that strong.
During the festival, Jeremy Lin told Casey the ins and outs of the incident, and he suddenly realized.At this time, the score gap between the two sides has appeared, and the Raptors have already led by 10 points.The Celtics are also really tenacious. Relying on the joint efforts of Terry and KG, they didn't let the Raptors completely open the score.
In order to become a favorite, Coach Casey adjusted the rotation at the end of the quarter, let Ying Xiong continue to play, and played with Ed Davis, Bargnani, Terrence Ross and Calderon.
This is a lineup with very strong shooting. Except for Ed Davis, the other four have good outside shooting ability, which can widen the offensive space.
After all, it is for Yingxiong to score, so that he can have a good configuration to score and score points without affecting the team's winning goal. It is a best-of-both-worlds strategy.
At the beginning of the final quarter, Courtney Lee was responsible for defending Yingxiong.
The Celtics quickly scored 2 points with Jeff Green's mid-range jumper!
Looking back, Ying Xiong and Ed Davis picked and rolled, faced Sullinger's defense change, and made a false sudden retreat for 3 points-a needle!
The point difference immediately returned to 11 points!
Here Jeff Green continued to shoot from the middle distance-not this time!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, held the ball and pushed forward quickly, and made a bow near the 3-point line, tricked his old teammate Barbosa, went inside and dunked!
Ying Xiong is not only able to score by himself, but when the opponent starts to double-team him, he has given teammates Calderon and Terrence Ross to hit open 3-pointers many times.
The game lasted less than 4 minutes, and the point difference had been widened to 20 points!Ying Xiong himself scored 9 points and 4 assists during this period!The performance is extremely explosive!
There was a timeout on the sidelines. After the timeout came back, KG and other main players returned one after another.But even if KG and others return, they still cannot extinguish Yingxiong's scoring momentum.
"When Yingxiong started hitting 3-pointers, he couldn't defend at all!" These words came from a famous basketball commentator in the United States, which is the best portrayal of Yingxiong.
With more than 4 minutes left in the final quarter of the game, the point difference had widened to 24 points, and the game basically lost its suspense.Ying Xiong has scored 52 points at this time, not only fulfilling the bet on the Celtics fans, but also breaking his regular season scoring record.
There was a timeout on the sidelines, Coach Casey withdrew as soon as he saw it, and Mingjin withdrew...
The scene was unusually quiet, a bit embarrassingly quiet, but this was the reality. It wasn't that the new Big Three were too weak, or that KG and others were too old and out of shape, but that there was a bug in the opposing team!
The game wasn't exactly in garbage time, but it was close.
