Chapter 421 Super Almighty Performance
This game is destined to invalidate the Celtics' defensive strategy.One is because Ying Xiong has the ability to pass the ball to the far end, and the other is that DeRozan and others performed very well in this game.DeRozan has the ability to attack with the ball, while Calderon has excellent shooting ability and good assist ability.Once these two open, it will be a great pressure on the Celtics' defense.
Garnett is 36 years old. After all, he is no longer the "Wolf King" who won the MVP at his peak.He can fire in the playoffs, but in the regular season, he can't because the schedule is too dense.
In this game, Ying Xiong became the team's rebounding leader, grabbing aggressively both in the frontcourt and the backcourt.Originally, the defensive system of the Celtics was weak in backcourt rebounds. In addition, KG's partner on the inside was Bass, so this problem was even more serious.
After the third quarter, the Raptors led their opponents by 3 points and entered the fourth quarter.
In the first half of the last quarter of the game, when the rotation players of the two sides were evenly matched, after the main players came back, they had a final decisive battle.
Calderon dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong who came out.
Ying Xiong beats Pierce, and after being double-teamed, he quickly throws the ball to DeRozan on the weak side, who scores in singles!
Here, Ray Allen missed a 3-pointer, Ying Xiongfei received the backcourt rebound, directly accelerated with nitrogen in the backcourt, and scored a one-stop layup!
Here KG cuts to the basket and tries to attack the frame, but is blocked by Ed Davis.
Ying Xiong picked up the ball, counterattacked with the ball, and assisted Calderon to score 3 points.
So far, the point difference has been widened to 15 points, which is already a big point difference for the two teams in this field.
In the following time, although Pierce and Rondo still tried to narrow the score through free throws, they were unable to restrict Yingxiong and DeRozan at the same time, and in the end no one was restricted.
The Raptors successfully maintained their advantage until the end, and finally defeated their opponents in the third match between the two teams this season, avenging their previous two losses.
When the final whistle sounded, Ying Xiong slammed the basketball into the sky above the arena, then opened his arms and roared wantonly at the fans.This victory did not come easily. He was very depressed by the opponent's pincer attack, and he needed to vent.
In this game, DeRozan and Calderon scored a total of 40 points, providing Ying Xiong with sufficient support.And Ying Xiong himself scored 21 points, 17 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks.Among them, 17 rebounds and 5 blocks created his new NBA regular season rebound record and block record respectively. The previous records were 13 and 4 respectively.In this game, he was flanked by opponents throughout the game, so he didn't score much, but he created a lot of offensive opportunities for his teammates and showed his ability on the defensive end.
After defeating the Celtics at home, the Raptors' record came to 20 wins and 8 losses, continuing to stabilize their ranking in the Eastern Conference.In the case of only 66 regular-season games this season, more than 40% of the season is over.
After accepting the interview while applying ice in the locker room, Ying Xiong suddenly found that coach Casey came to him. He just wanted to get up, but was stopped by the other party: "Don't move, did you sprain your right ankle?"
Ying Xiong turned his head to the side and looked at Casey in surprise, his eyes already acquiesced in all this.He didn't expect that even the slightest strangeness in himself could not escape the coach's eyes.
Casey put away his usual serious expression and showed a rare expression of concern: "Go for a checkup tomorrow. I've talked to the team doctor. I'll give you a preliminary diagnosis later."
Ying Xiong nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Casey said quietly: "If you don't feel well tomorrow, take a few games off. Our goal is the playoffs."
On the second day, Ying Xiong underwent an instrumental examination, and there was no structural damage to his ankle, but his ankle still had burning pain.What's worse, he actually got the flu and his limbs were weak.
The Raptors' next opponent is the Lakers.As early as a few games ago, people were looking forward to this game because of Kobe and Ying Xiong.Two of the best 2 positions in the league today, one is the best shooting guard in the post-Jordan era; the other is the scoring leader so far this season.With such a collision like sparks hitting the earth, the game was already full of smoke before it even started.
But who would have thought that Ying Xiong would be sick and injured before such a high-profile game, which made the fans who had been looking forward to this game for a long time cry out regretfully.
Ying Xiong will definitely not be able to play in this game. According to the team doctor's suggestion, it is best for his ankle to rest for about a week. There is no exact time for when the flu will recover.
Ying Xiong will not only miss the direct dialogue with Kobe, but will also miss the game against "Linsanity", who has been in the limelight recently.Originally, this match, the confrontation between the two hottest yellow racers in the current league, would be a match with a high degree of global attention, but now it seems that Ying Xiong, one of the protagonists, will also miss the game.
Ying Xiong also felt very sorry that he could not match up with a superstar of Kobe's level.He is also happy for Jeremy Lin. This Chinese player has overcome the difficulties through continuous outbreaks, has his own foothold in this league, and created his own magic, and the magic continues...
On February 2, the Raptors played against the Lakers at home, and Ying Xiong, the core of the team, was absent.This is Yingxiong's first absence in the regular season this season. For the Raptors, Yingxiong's importance is self-evident, and no one in the team can replace him.
In this game, even though Calderon showed great power and scored 30 points and 6 assists, DeRozan was at a disadvantage in the matchup with Kobe and was completely suppressed by the opponent.In the last minute, Kobe scored a 1-pointer and had a key steal. He also hit the winning goal and contributed 3 points to help the team win the away game.
The Raptors unfortunately lost the game at home. When Kobe dominated the game, the home team fans missed the team's No. 25 from China.
If Ying Xiong is here, at least he can compete with Kobe!Only when he is not around will he realize his importance and value.
After the game, a reporter interviewed Ying Xiong and asked him if the game would be different if he was there.Ying Xiong said that he couldn't predict what didn't happen.
The reporter asked again, if Ying Xiong is here, Kobe can be restrained, and Kobe will not be allowed to control everything at the last moment of the game.Ying Xiong said with a smile that he is not a god, and he cannot limit Kobe. Kobe is one of the best players in the league, and he can't be limited if he wants to.
