Xu Yong didn't know what was going on behind him, because after seeing Green coming up from the assistant defense, he directly pulled the ball high, and then smashed the ball into the basket through Green.

He was determined to implement the idea of the opening game, and if the Kings had a problem with the basket, he would not bring it with him.

It's poor Green, who has scored 40+ points in the summer league like Xu Yong, averaging 25.3 points per game, shining brightly, and has also become the core bargaining chip of the Rockets trading Artest, and tonight he has become a golden background board.

That is, at the moment when he looked back after dunking, Xu Yong saw Evans kneeling on the ground.

He did not look down on Evans because of this, on the contrary, he admired Evans more and more.

Compared to others who let their teammates switch defenses when they encounter the strength of the opposing player, Evans' courage to face the opponent is very commendable.

And just as Brandon Knight dared to face Jordan Jr. to block, Evans also gave his best on the defensive end.

"Tell me, who's the big winner?!"

Of course, only Xu Yong is calm.

After Seo Young's ankle was finished, Evans knee was closed, and Green was dunked, Barkley climaxed straight into the commentary box.

Also at the climax were the fans who supported Xu Yong at the scene, and those who were waiting in front of the TV or computer on the other side of the ocean.

Really, it's so explosive!

This is not the same feeling as Yao Ming at all.

Yao Ming shows dominance, but Xu Yong now shows visual impact.

It turns out that our Chinese players can also play and even ravage these old black ones like this!

The game on the court continued, and Evans was still singles with the ball.

However, this should be his last chance to open the game.

Seo's strategy was still to put it down, and Evans opted for a pull-up jump shot after breaking through to the free throw line.

It's not a scoring method he's good at, but it's clearly a better chance than a hard-to-head with Xu Yong.

The basketball crosses a straight parabola in the air.

"Phew!"

smashed to the front of the basket without any suspense.

Xu Yong turned around and picked up the defensive rebound, then took the ball and went forward quickly.

Evans saw it and quickly pressed to try to steal, but Xu Yong directly changed direction and avoided without slowing down.

By the time he crossed Evans, his eyes were as empty as the early morning road.

He rushed to the front court, and after looking back at the Kings players who had already given up the pursuit, the video tape incident flashed in his mind, and the performance was directly full.

He began to slow down, as if he was not in the arena, but in the scene of a slam dunk contest.

When he reached the free throw line, he threw the ball directly to the basket, and then the whole person was a step too late to take off.

After the basketball was rebounded, he grabbed it and stuffed it under his crotch.

The scene was already filled with agitation.

And by the time he switched the ball from his crotch to his other hand and then pulled it up and smashed it into the basket, accompanied by the dull sound coming from the loudspeaker, the cheers of the scene could not be stopped.

Not only the fans who rushed to support Xu Yong, but also some Sacramento fans couldn't help but cheer.

This guy really thinks this is the scene of a slam dunk contest!

At this time, no one in the stands noticed that Petri's originally haggard face suddenly showed a smile of emotion.

Sure enough, it wasn't him who looked away.

Xu Yong's dunk completely turned the momentum of the game to the Bulls' side.

The Bulls also played more and more bravely, and played a huge 38-19 point difference in the basket in a single quarter.

Xu Yong scored 16 points in a single quarter, and almost didn't knock down all the Kings fans on the scene.

And the Kings started the second quarter without any state, on the other hand, Will Bynum broke out again on the Bulls' side, and even made a sudden shot to directly stretch the difference to 35 points.

This directly silenced the Arco Arena, and even many fans at the scene have begun to leave.

However, the Kings bottomed out in the second half of the second quarter and played well, trailing the Bulls by 24 points at halftime, 43-67.

In fact, there is not much suspense about the outcome of the game, after three quarters of entanglement, the difference between the two sides is 90-70, and the last quarter is pure garbage time.

At the end of the third quarter, Xu Yong had scored 34 points on 13-of-20 shooting, while Evans only scored 14 points on 4-of-15 shooting.

This contrast cannot be said to be very strong, it can only be said that it is very different.

In garbage time in the final quarter, both sides did their best to substitute, and De Nagro was also possessed by Phil Jackson and went into on-hook offline mode.

But at this time, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the Kings' benches, Amy Udoka (yes, the one you know), Benno Yudri, and Sergio Rodriguez fired inside and outside one after another, and the point difference continued to narrow.

And Kings head coach Paul Westphall saw an opportunity to substitute Evans on the court.

Evans, who had held back for the whole game, finally found an output angle, and in the face of Bynum's various strong bursts, he scored 9 points in a row, narrowing the difference to single digits in one go.

It was only then that De Nagro returned to the line, calling a timeout to replace all the main players.

However, after sitting off the court for a long time, Rose and Deng felt average, and after the two of them conceded one after another, the Kings actually closed the gap to less than 5 points in one go.

At this moment, the fans who remained at the scene were suddenly excited, and they felt like the spectators who stayed to watch Maddie's 35.13 seconds, and felt that they were going to witness history.

"Phew!"

Gibson's mid-range shot still didn't work, and the Kings' basket was frantically milking out at the critical moment.

Hawes reached for the rebound.

But at this moment, a figure flew directly over everyone's heads.

Before Hawes could touch the ball, he felt like he was being pushed out.

"Bang!"

Xu Yong completed the deduction directly through Hawes!

He roared, then turned to his teammates and shouted, "Rebound, defend!" ”

Just like he did when he was in the NCAA.

Tonight, he not only scored points, but also showed his true qualities as a leader.

And, after dropping back to the defensive end, he singled out Evans one-on-one, aiming for opportunities to give Evans a stop-and-go block.

This offense and defense helped the Bulls quickly stabilize their position.

The score was 106-102. [Note 11]

The Bulls had a thrilling win to avoid being nailed to the Pillar of Shame.

According to the statistics after the game, on the Kings side, Udoka scored 17 points, Yudri scored 16 points, Kevin Martin scored 14 points, Rodriguez 10 points, and Evans scored 9 points in the final quarter, shooting 8 of 19 from the field, scoring 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

Leaving aside why the stats are deceiving, just looking at the stats will make Evans play well tonight, but as long as you watch the game, you can't say that.

On the Bulls' side, Rose had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, Deng had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Gibson had 10 points, Noah had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, and Hinrich had 9 points.

Xu Yong shot 16 of 24 from the field, scoring 40 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists!

Not only did he set a new career high, but he also scored the first 40 points of his career!

And it is worth mentioning that as many as 11 of Xu Yongjin's 16 balls were dunks.

In other words, Sacramento's basket was forced out by Xu Yong 11 times tonight, and the basket was really crooked.

With such a performance, after the game, Xu Yong was caught by reporters on the sidelines for an interview.

got a high score, but Xu Yong's mood didn't look very good.

After all, leading by 35 points at most, and winning so thrilling in the end, the Bulls exposed a lot of problems tonight.

The reporter is from ESPN, and he started asking some of the more common questions.

But with the mention of Xu Yong's obviously performative crotch dunk with a change of hands, the direction of the problem began to deviate a little.

"Are you ready for the slam dunk contest?" The reporter asked expectantly.

Xu Yong didn't expect the reporter to ask this question, although he had discussed with DeRozan to participate in the slam dunk contest together, but it was not yet time to make it public.

"Possibly." So he replied with a not too positive one.

The reporter was excited when he heard this, and immediately asked: "If you participate, will you be worried that LeBron will also participate?" ”

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help frowning.

I forced it on James during the interview, how does this feel so familiar?

"What's your name?" Xu Yong didn't answer immediately, but looked at the reporter and asked, the reporter didn't seem to introduce himself before.

"Brian Windhorst." The reporter replied.

Xu Yong recalled this name in his mind, and soon remembered who this person was.

Isn't this James' royal reporter?

Because he had seen it too many times in his previous life, it was difficult for him not to remember the name.

And the angle of this question is very tricky, you answer that you are worried and seem to be unconfident in yourself, and if you are not worried, you seem to be conceited.

"I don't care." Xu Yong's answer directly stunned Wenderhorst.

"Do you think James won't participate in the dunk contest?" After gathering his emotions, Wenderhorst continued to ask.

Xu Yong was speechless when asked, did he think there was any difference?

He wanted James to participate, but he was not James's old father, so could James still listen to him?

"I don't care." After putting away his smile, Xu Yong repeated the answer just now, and used Winderhorst's eyes, he was not in a good mood tonight, and he was going to flash if he asked him again.

"Don't you really care? That's LeBron! Wenderhorst asked.

Xu Yong glanced at Windhorst like a fool, and then replied angrily: "You said the slam dunk contest, then why should I care about a guy who has been blocked by me?" ”

Then, in Winderhorst's stunned eyes, Xu Yong turned around and left directly.
