Chapter 114: Xiao Dengzi is doing something!
~
Offense and defense transitioned, the Raptors possessed the ball, and Lowry held the ball to organize the offense.
Since the start of the game, Lowry has felt good, making two of two three-pointers and four of eight two-pointers, scoring a total of 14 points. But DeRozan had a bit of a pitfall, making zero of three three-pointers and two of nine of two points, scoring just four points. If DeRozan's shooting percentage had been a little higher, he wouldn't have been beaten by the Hornets by 21 points.
Lowry quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Xiao Gangcang's physical fitness is still quite good, he is 1.83 meters tall and has a weight of 93 kilograms, compared to Paul's 83 kilograms, Nash's 82 kilograms are much stronger. And his speed is not bad, at least much faster than the fat man.
However, in the face of Yang Yiyi, his talents are not worth mentioning except for speed, and his height, strength, and arm span are all crushed.
Seeing the fat man standing in front of him, Lowry did not rush violently, but used his skillful ball control skills to protect the ball firmly, and then passed the ball when he saw other teammates running out of the open space. Then take the fat man in circles, from left to right, from the inside line to the outside line, and when the fat man can't keep up with him, he receives a pass from his teammates and pulls out the outside three-point directly.
Swish!
The basketball hit the basket steadily, and Lowry added three points to the Raptors and temporarily stopped the bleeding.
"Lowry is doing well, but he's just doing nothing. Our queen bee will be back with his trademark three points soon. Bill, the on-site commentator at the Smoothie King Center, did not rush when he saw Lowry hit a three-point stop to stop bleeding after throwing the fat man away, but said in a mocking tone.
The fans at the scene laughed ridiculously when they heard this, and Bill's remarks really spoke to their hearts. Originally, they came to cheer for the Hornets in this game, but they never expected the fat man's performance to be so powerful, allowing them to watch a relaxed and enjoyable game.
So instead of worrying about Lowry throwing in a three-pointer, they laughed happily.
Sure enough, Yang Yi did not disappoint them, after receiving the ball from the backcourt, he dribbled directly to the frontcourt, and shot unexpectedly when he was two steps away from the three-point line, Lowry didn't react for a while, he could only watch the fat man throw the ball out and there was nothing he could do, all he could do was expect Yang Yi's three points to not even touch the basket.
After Yang threw the ball, the Raptors' basket suddenly turned into a battlefield of grinding, and the Hornets' backup center, that is, the center Lance Thomas, who started the game, and the Raptors' center Jonas Valanciunas, were huddled together, both expecting to get the rebound. Of course, the premise is that the fat man's three-point shot doesn't score.
Swish!
The basketball hit the basket accurately, and also brought up a burst of net flowers. Thomas and Valanciunas fought for a long time, and it took a lot of physical energy to get to such a result. However, the mood of the two is very different. Just look at the faces of the two, Thomas is happy, and Valanciunas is drooping, as if someone else owes him five million and has not paid it back.
The faces of Thomas and Valanciunas are just a microcosm of the mood of the players on the court, the hearts of the Hornets are like fire, and the Raptors players are like falling into a 10,000-year-old ice cave, chilling all over.
It's so far away that you can throw it in, and you can't let people live. According to the fat man's shooting rate, the whole game was played, and the Raptors were not pulled down by a difference of forty or fifty points!!
"Kyle, DeMar, stop him, don't give him a shot from the outside. You have to think about what we have been aiming for. Seeing that something was wrong, Raptors head coach Dwyane Casey shouted to Lowry and DeRozan on the court.
This game is the first time the Raptors have played against the Hornets in the new season, although the American sports media has previously blown the fat man into the sky, as if he is the destiny of the league. But Casey thinks there's still a lot of water, and the absence of Gordon and Lopez with the Fat Hornets' four-game losing streak is a good example. Therefore, he was full of confidence before the start of the game, the Raptors have won the last few games, and he thinks it is only a matter of time before he takes the Hornets.
It's just that at the beginning of the game, the fat man's three-point rain kept enveloping the Raptors, turning the entire Smoothie King Arena into a three-point contest scene. To Casey's surprise, Yang reversed the style of play in the past few games, no longer holding the ball and hitting the inside, but shooting three-point shots all the way, not once playing a two-point shot.
In fact, the fat man doesn't matter even if he shoots three-point shots throughout the whole process, because although his three-point shooting is accurate, it is obviously unreliable to rely on three-point shooting in a game. But the fat man's 56 percent three-point shooting rate was terrifying, completely beyond Casey's expectations. It's just that he has used up the number of timeouts in the third quarter, and there are no timeouts left to set up tactics, so he can only shout loudly from the sidelines, hoping that the little steel cannon and DeRozan can restrain the fat man.
After Yang Yi hit a long-range three-pointer, the difference between the two teams was stretched back to more than 20 points.
Williams couldn't close his mouth with joy off the field. The fat man's game was like a hanging, with a three-point shooting rate of 56 percent, and he seemed to be back to the time when he played against the Nuggets.
At that time, Yang Yi turned on the god-killing mode just like today, and killed the Nuggets with three points in one hand, and the Nuggets could only watch the fat man score 52 points in a single quarter, setting a single-quarter scoring record in the league.
Casey's words didn't work, the mentality of the Raptors generals had a problem because of the fat man's unreasonable three-point shooting, Lowry accidentally smashed the ball to the instep when he broke through with the ball, and Yang Yi missed a steal.
As soon as Yang picked up the ball, he quickly passed long to Gordon, who was already fast, and Gordon took the ball to the front court and found that the Raptors players did not follow, so he slowly brought the ball to the basket and wanted to play a cricket, but the first ball was a little lighter because of the force, and the ball slid out after two turns on the basket, and Gordon finally put the ball into the basket after wiping the board once.
Gordon didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, after all, he didn't deliberately brush up on rebounds, and there was nothing he could do if the ball didn't go in. But the Raptors head coach Dwyane Casey on the sidelines is angry with his lungs, you dribble to the basket, a layup is easy, why humiliate the Raptors like this!
Valanciunas, who returned to serve in the backcourt, couldn't get used to Gordon's shameless behavior, so he hit Gordon the shoulder when he passed Gordon, knocking the unsuspecting Eric to a stumbling one.
Now Gordon is gone, and it's not my fault that Nima can't make it, what do you mean by targeting me like this? He immediately fought Valanciunas.
Since the Staples battle, the fat man's reputation has spread all over the world, and few players have dared to stand up to the Hornets in public, and Gordon has never been bullied again. was hit like this at home today, he naturally had to get back face, otherwise the first one to laugh at him was the fat man.
Just kidding, being like this on your home turf with 18,500 fans watching! If he doesn't get his face back, then how will he be mixed up in the wasp in the future!
Gordon, who is 1.91 meters, and Valanciunas, who is 2.11 meters, look at each other angrily, and the difference of 20 centimeters makes the two look a little funny.
Seeing Yang Yi walking towards this side, the referee hurriedly blew the whistle in his mouth. It doesn't matter if there is some conflict between the body movements of Gordon and the two, if Yang repeatedly intervenes, then tomorrow this game will become a hot search, and the fat man's popularity is not a joke!
