Chapter 536 The 3nd 10-game winning streak
Brother Nongmei's green face showed his admiration for the league's scoring champion, and at the same time, there was some dissatisfaction.
Ying Xiong was very excited. Since he specially trained and core strength during the offseason, the number of times he played 2+1 this season has increased significantly.Not only is it 2+1, but the attack frame during the fast break is also much more stable than before, which brings about an improvement in offensive efficiency.
Ying Xiong took a deep breath, and then made an extra penalty!
Vasquez dribbles over and Eric Gordon comes out to catch the ball.
Eric Gordon is one of the main assets that the Hornets got from trading Paul, but he did not play at the expected level due to injuries.This player is a typical combo guard who can score and organize, and has a very strong scoring ability.
Ying Xiong is responsible for defending him.
Eric Gordon faced the corresponding hero and started the pick-and-roll. After the breakthrough, he had no chance, so he assigned it to the high-ranking thick eyebrow brother.
Brother Nongmei faced Amir Johnson, feinted with the ball in a high position and then made a strong breakthrough with the ball.In the process of breaking through, Ying Xiong's sudden help defense affected the rhythm of his luck. He forced a layup and was blocked by Valanciunas who was help defending.
Jeremy Lin picked up the ball and counterattacked with the ball.
The two insiders of the Raptors are not good at counterattacks, but their three outsiders are very capable of counterattacking, and they all have the ability to counterattack from the backcourt. Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin can even pass the ball across the court .
The Raptors made a 3-line fast break, and Jeremy Lin scored Ying Xiong, who advanced from the left. Fly to the right.
DeRozan jumped high, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket!
The Raptors gave the opponent a sap at the beginning, which made the already weak Hornets a little at a loss.
Hornets coach Monty Williams still requested a timeout!
The timeout came so early, not because the Hornets like to do it, but because they were beaten at the beginning, and the momentum in the away game was completely controlled by the opponent. As a rookie, the thick eyebrow brother didn't know how to play on the court.
After the timeout, the Hornets' offense has improved a little, but their team's starting offensive ability is really poor.Eric Gordon, the most offensive player, was restricted by Yingxiong's single defense, while Brother Nongmei and Aminu were unstable in offense, and the scene between the two sides soon became overwhelming.
It is not difficult for Ying Xiong to play against Aminu. In fact, it is not difficult for him to play against most players in the league.Today, after he has developed a back body and strengthened his strength, he basically has no shortcomings in offensive skills.
The Hornets' offense is very constipated, and it often takes a few rounds to score 1 goal.On the other hand, the Raptors are blooming internally and externally, and their efficiency is much higher than that of their opponents.
Ying Xiong received a pass from Jeremy Lin and only ate Aminu.He faced the opponent, crossed the ball under the crotch, changed his left hand slightly to the right, and then pulled the ball to the left with his right hand. He bowed to the Buddha, knocked the opponent away by 1 position, and then made a sudden stop jumper-stable hit !
Here Eric Gordon made a strong breakthrough and was interfered with for a layup-missed!
Ying Xiong received the rebound, pushed forward with the ball, turned around near the center line and passed Vasquez, and chased directly at the top of the front arc for 3 points-hit!
Hornets coach Monty Williams can only be suspended again!He is very helpless, it's not that he doesn't know the value of timeouts, but if he doesn't pause now, the next game will be overwhelmed, and it's meaningless whether to pause or not.
After returning from the timeout, DeRozan went off and Gay went on.
Gay's offensive strength is really good. Under Ying Xiong's restraint, he got a lot of one-on-one opportunities.He played very comfortably, especially when facing these weak teams. When the score is leading, the mentality is relaxed and the offensive efficiency is higher.
The Hornets were really taken aback. The offensive combination of Ying Xiong + Gay made them cry.
Brother Nongmei has a big body and the dribbling ability of a guard, but he does not have the stable outside offensive ability like KD. Facing a somewhat shrinking defense like the Raptors, he can't get in and can only keep shooting. distance, but the hit rate is not good.
The score was opened from the first quarter. When Yingxiong was off the court, Gay was even more powerful. He complemented Lowry in the second team and easily overwhelmed the Hornets' second team.
In this game, the Raptors' home court was full of fun.The home team leads by a big score, the new players are doing their best, the players returning from injury are getting better and better, and the rookies are also performing well.For the team and fans, is there a better status quo than this?
In this game, the half-time point difference has been stretched to more than 20 points, and the 3 quarters have been completely destroyed.Ying Xiong only played 22 minutes and scored 25 points with ease. He did not expend much energy at all, which was not much more intense than the team's training game.
Rudy Gay scored 20+ again, which made the Raptors fans excited.With him, the team no longer has to worry about Yingxiong being alone and helpless when DeRozan's performance is sluggish.And although his defense is not at the gate level, he has been in a strong defensive team like the Grizzlies. He has never eaten pork and seen pigs running. With his physical condition, as long as he wants to defend, the effect is not bad. .
There was no suspense in the game. The Raptors easily defeated the opponent at home, ushered in a 9-game winning streak, and the record also came to 42 wins and 9 losses.
The Raptors have won 42 games and have ensured a winning percentage of more than 50% this season, which makes the team quite satisfied.The team's current plan is to keep the No. [-] position until the end of the season, so as to gain home court advantage in all rounds of the playoffs.
On February 2, the Raptors continued to play at home against the "Denver Athletics" - the Nuggets.In this game, Bargnani, the No. 13 insider who has been absent from the team for many games, is back in this game and will play off the bench.The opponent's two big flanks Iguodala and Gallinari will miss this game.
The paper strength of the two teams is not at the same level, whether it is the starting lineup or the rotation, there is a big gap.Driven by Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin, the Raptors scored in double figures with 7 players in this game, easily defeated each other and ushered in a 10-game winning streak.
This is the third time the team has achieved 3 consecutive victories this season, which is a very good result for the team.
After the Raptors won this game, before the All-Star Game, they only had the second day of back-to-back away games against the New York Knicks.
Ying Xiong went to New York with the team, and after staying in the hotel, he contacted his girlfriend Sun Jing who was far away in China.
"What are you doing?" Ying Xiong asked first.
"I'm reading in the library!" Sun Jing replied.
"Do you still like the gift?"
"Yes, I like it!"
"I've fixed the tickets for the Houston All-Star Game for you, you must come!"
"Yes, it's almost the weekend, I will definitely come. By the way, is the coach going?"
"Ok!"
