Chapter 210 All-Star Game
After narrowly beating the Eagles at home, the Bucks will have their second regular-season matchup with the Nets on February 2.In the previous confrontation, the Nets regrettably lost the game after losing the big insider Yi Jianlian.
In this game, although the Nets at home still do not have Yi Jianlian in the team, the opponent Bucks also lost the team boss Michael Reed in the previous game.
The game is All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson returned to New Jersey for the first time since being traded by the Nets.Jefferson had a glorious past with the Nets. He followed Jason Kidd and entered the NBA Finals twice.
During shooting practice before the game, Ying Xiong found Yi Jianlian in a suit and leather shoes on the bench of the Nets.Yi Jianlian has taken off the slightly bulky protective gear on his right hand today, and it seems that his comeback is just around the corner.
Yi Jianlian told Ying Xiong that he had gone to the hospital for a review last week.The doctor said that he is recovering very well, and his bones are fine, except that his fingers still hurt a little.
Ying Xiong is also happy for Ah Lian's recovery from his injury.Fortunately, the NBA schedule is long enough, and the UAE can officially return after the All-Star Game, and can contribute its own strength to the team's impact on the playoffs.
In this game, the Nets playing at home are obviously the team with a better competitive state. Whether it is offense or defense, the Bucks playing away are miserable.The Bucks, who had lost their internal and external pillars, did not have an advantage when facing the Nets, and were overwhelmed by their opponents.
In the end, the Bucks lost the game and lost a chance to widen the opponent's win gap in the direct dialogue with the playoff rival Nets.
Neither Yi Jianlian nor Ying Xiong played in this game, which disappointed the overseas Chinese who came to support the two.But for them, being able to see two players from China on the bench, and finally took a group photo together, can somewhat make up for some regrets.
On February 2, the Bucks lost to the Pistons at home, and their record came to 8 wins and 24 losses. The gap with their competitors has not narrowed, but has a tendency to widen.Ying Xiong did not play this campaign, his idol Allen Iverson scored 29 points, leading the team to a narrow victory away.
On February 2, the Bucks continued to sit at home to face the visiting Rockets.Ying Xiong and Yao Ming meet again.
In this game, although the Bucks were empty inside, Yao Ming performed poorly, and Tracy McGrady only made 9 of 1 shots, which made the Rockets struggling in the away game.
With 2 minutes and 56 seconds left in the game, both sides withdrew their main players and Ying Xiong got the chance to play.
最终，雄鹿主场击败火箭，取得了一场宝贵的胜利。应雄2投1中拿下2分1篮板1抢断。
On February 2, the Bucks continued to sit at home against the Pacers.In the end, the team defeated the opponent and ushered in a two-game winning streak.Yingxiong played 12 seconds in this game and got a rebound.
这场比赛后，将迎来全明星周末。2009年NBA全明星赛将于2月14日和2月15日两天在菲尼克斯进行。
For Ying Xiong, the All-Star is still too far away, because he is not even eligible to participate in the rookie game.And the greatest effect of the All-Star on him is to spur himself to become better.Because only by getting better can you have a chance to become an All-Star in the future.
February 2 is Valentine's Day in the West.
Ying Xiong sent an email to Sun Jing on February 2, the content is as follows:
Jing, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, first here I wish you a happy Valentine's Day!Have you received the gift I sent you?Like it?During the All-Star Weekend these days, the team is on vacation, but I don't plan to go back to China.I didn't qualify for the All-Star Game, but I wasn't planning on going to Phoenix either.I am going to have a special training session with a trainer to make myself better and stronger.Forgive me for not being able to spend Valentine's Day with you, but you are more important than basketball in my heart!Believe me, honey, I'm going to be an All-Star, I'm going to be the one who's different!I love you forever...——Ying Xiong
A few hours later, Sun Jing replied Ying Xiong's email: "I received the gift, I like it very much! Do what you think is right! I will always believe in you and will always be your fan! I love you too... "
Seeing this reply, Ying Xiong let his tears flow wantonly without caring about it at all.Ideals and love can complement each other, it must be so.
For him, meeting Sun Jing was the luckiest thing in his life.
This year's All-Star Game, the voting results for the main game have been released.East: Center - Dwight Howard, forward - Kevin Garnett, forward - LeBron James, guard - Dwyane Wade, guard - Allen Iverson.The head coach is Mike Brown from the Cavaliers.
West: Center - Yao Ming, Forward - Tim Duncan, Forward - Amal Stoudemire, Guard - Tracy McGrady, Guard - Kobe Bryant.
Yao Ming was selected as the starting lineup of the Western Conference All-Stars, and Ying Xiong was naturally very happy for him.
As a rookie this season, Ying Xiong was not selected for the first-year rookie team.The first-year team selected for this rookie game are: Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo, Marc Gasol, Greg Oden, Rudy Fernandez, Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon, Michael Biss Lee, Brook Lopez.
The All-Star game is in full swing, and Ying Xiong is also training profusely in the training hall.Training is boring, which is why some star players would rather play than train.
Ying Xiong is not an All-Star, not even a rotation player.Except that he has a rookie contract, he is no different from those players with non-guaranteed contracts.
For him, making himself irreplaceable is the only way for him to break the current situation.
After staying in the NBA for almost half a season, although there are very few opportunities to play, Ying Xiong has gradually adapted to the basketball atmosphere here and the intensity of confrontation here.
He has gradually recovered his best emergency stop jump shot and layup. Of course, the 3-pointer is still not ideal and has not met expectations, but it has improved significantly compared to the beginning of the season.He knows that even if he has improved a lot, it is impossible for the team to reuse him at this time in order to make the playoffs.Therefore, unless there are extensive injuries to the backcourt players in the team this season, the chance of getting a stable playing time basically does not exist.
In the past few days of special training during the All-Star Weekend, Ying Xiong has gained a lot, but he will never stop because he has no qualifications to do so.
In the NBA, the All-Star Game seems to be a watershed moment.After that, each team will have obviously different pursuits.Teams that want to get high picks will play badly in the following games; while teams that want to compete for playoff tickets will play more and more seriously, trying to get a better position in the rankings .
