Chapter 526 Another version of "Seven Injuries Fist"
It has been a long time since the Raptors have been led at halftime. In the last dozen games, except for the one against the Spurs, this is today.But at home, not once.The fans of the home team looked worried. Of course, they knew that the team's lineup was not complete, and the two starters in the paint did not play. The strength of the team was more than that.But they are still afraid, afraid of being ridiculed by fans of other teams after the game, by those black people, saying that a team that wants to win the championship will be beaten up by a rebuilding team at home.
Coach Casey is also thinking about how to line up for this game.Now in his hand, there are not many inside cards, and Amir Johnson and Along Gray have committed 4 fouls, and Ed Davis has committed 3 fouls, but the game is only halfway...
The third quarter of the game started quickly, and the lineups of both sides remained the same as at the beginning.
Thomas Jr. dribbles over and passes it to Salmons, who hits the floor to Cousins in the low post.
When Cousins is in his normal mind, he can definitely be said to be an All-Star center. He has excellent low-post offensive ability, passing and shooting ability, and is very versatile.But the problem is that he is a ticking time bomb, you don't know when he loses his nerve and starts to lose his temper.Losing his mind, he is like an undercover agent. Instead of being effective on the field, he becomes a burden.
In the first half, Cousins' mind seemed normal, and he beat the Raptors' insiders almost to the point of graduation.
Cousins smacked Along Gray inside, and wiped the board forcibly at the basket-a tough hit!
Here Yingxiong received the ball, encountered a double-team, and gave it to DeRozan. The latter rushed to the basket and was capped by Jason Thompson. Thomas Jr. quickly counterattacked after getting the ball. Followed up and grabbed the offensive rebound, carried Along Gray, and scored 3+2 tough!
The point difference was widened to 7 points in an instant, and the Raptors were more worried than that. The starting center Aaron Gray had committed 5 fouls, and he was only one step away from graduating from full fouls.
But Coach Casey didn't make a substitution. In fact, even if he replaced Amir Johnson with 4 fouls, it wouldn't make much sense, because if he was a little careless, he would commit 5 fouls.He kept Along Grey on the field for another purpose, that is, referees will be more cautious in calling fouls when facing players with 5 fouls, let alone calling on the home team, they also have to consider the feelings of the fans .
After all, the NBA is a business league, which is why stars have "star whistle".
After Alongre made 5 fouls, it also brought about a problem, that is, he was a little bit cautious when defending, and he was somewhat timid.
The opponent doesn't care about you, not only Cousins continues to attack the inside, but even Thomas Jr. and Jason Thompson rush inside when they get the ball.
Finally, Along Gray was sent off. The referee will consider the scale of the penalty, but the obvious foul must be called, otherwise it will be unfair.
After Along Gray was sent off, Amir Johnson came on.
The strategy of the Kings is also very clear, which is to hit your inside line hard, that is, to be sure that your inside rotation is tight and you will get into foul trouble.
When Amir Johnson also committed 5, Coach Casey called for a timeout!At this point, the home team has fallen behind by 10 points.
The scene was quiet, and the fans didn't know what to do, and it couldn't be said that the team didn't work hard. It was indeed that the inside was overwhelmed, and the opponent was in surprisingly good form today, and they also made frequent hits from the outside.
After setting up the attack, Coach Casey grabbed Ying Xiong and said, "It's up to you next!"
Ying Xiong smiled knowingly, then nodded.
Seeing this smile, Casey felt instantly at ease.
Casey replaced Alan Anderson, replaced Amir Johnson, replaced Lowry, replaced Jeremy Lin, replaced Terrence Ross, replaced DeRozan.
The on-site commentator exclaimed: "This is a suicide-like formation!"
Lowry dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong, and Ed Davis came up to pick and roll.At this time, the fans on the scene were surprised to find that all the Raptors players were standing outside the 3-point line.Kings coach Smart instantly understood the opponent's intentions, and replaced Alan Anderson, who could shoot 3-pointers, and Terrence Ross, who was accurate in 3-pointers.This style of play is similar to the Heat's James + 4 pitchers.On the offensive end, the space can be widened, but the question is what about your defense?Is it expected that Alan Anderson or Ed Davis can guard Cousins?
Since all five players of the Raptors were outside the 5-point line, Cousins could only be forced to defend.
With the help of the pick and roll, Ying Xiong pulled the ball and turned to go in, which instantly attracted the Kings' shrinkage. You must know if there is one person under the basket!
Ying Xiong gave the ball to Alan Anderson who was open, and the latter shot a 3-pointer-hit!
Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball and tried to pass it to Cousins in the low post, but Ed Davis was frantically defending around the front, not giving an easy chance to catch the ball.
Cousins on the inside was a little angry and gave Ed Davis an elbow. The latter fell to the ground in response, and the referee's whistle sounded instantly-offensive foul!
Coach Smart of the Kings was speechless. Of course he knew that Cousins was a double-edged sword. When the offense was smooth, he seemed to be possessed by O'Neal, but he was worse than JR when his mind was muddled.
Lowry dribbled the ball and continued to give it to Ying Xiong.
Ying Xiong picks and rolls with Ed Davis again, forcing himself inside.
This time the Kings didn't dare to let Alan Anderson go, and Jason Thompson was the only one to help defend the basket.
Ying Xiong took the ball to the basket, faced Jason Thompson, and directly "raised fire to the sky" with one hand, completely ignoring the opponent's block, and dunked the ball directly from high to low!At the same time whistle, And one!
The fans of the home team at the scene were completely excited!Their leading star let the other party see how naive it is to rely on one person to defend his attack frame.
Ying Xiong walked to the free throw line amidst the cheers and made the free throw steadily.
The 10-point difference instantly turned into 4 points, and the Kings requested a timeout!
Back from the timeout, Cousins hit Ed Davis at the basket and made a one-handed dunk!
But looking back, Ying Xiong suddenly scored from the outside line Terrence Ross, and the latter hit a 3-pointer!
Only 3 points left!
Coach Casey on the sidelines was expressionless. He never expected Ed Davis or Alan Anderson to guard Cousins.Since you can't defend, then get back on the offensive end. After all, 3 points are one point more than 2 points.
Ying Xiong's heart is like a mirror, of course he knows Coach Casey's intentions, it's like the Golden Retriever Lion King Xie Xun's "Seven Injuries Fist", which kills one thousand enemies and damages one's own self by eight hundred, it can be used in special occasions, and the effect is outstanding.
