Chapter 257: Why did you say you had nothing to do to provoke him! (Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass!! )

4-2, the Raptors eliminated the Heat after two consecutive games to advance to the division semifinals.

At this time, the first round of matches has all ended, and the semi-finals have all been released.

In the East, the Raptors will meet the Bulls, and the Cavaliers will stage a feud with the Pacers;

In the West, the Warriors faced the challenge of the Trail Blazers, who eliminated the Spurs 4-2 thanks to Lillard's stunner, while the Mavericks met the Thunder again, and the two teams have been rivals for several years.

Before the semifinals officially began, the league announced another batch of awards for the season, the best rookie and best defensive player.

It was the day before the Bulls' game day, and the players returned to the locker room after practice.

"Boss, ROY and DPOY are out." Anderson couldn't help but say excitedly.

His reaction immediately caused the rest of the locker room to shake their heads.

This guy was a little reckless when the MVP came out before, thanks to Xu Yong's flexible brain, he didn't expect to come.

"Nikolai got the best rookie?" Xu Yong asked with a smile.

Anderson scratched his head and shook his head.

The rest of the locker room burst into laughter, and Xu Yong was also reminding Anderson of his recklessness in a teasing way.

"But he's fifth." He continued.

"Not bad." Xu Yong was a little surprised, but nodded approvingly.

If Jokic is also counted as the class of 2015, the quality of the rookies in this class is still quite good, Towns, Okafor (Lakers version), Porzingis, Booker, Myles Turner, Russell......

Jokic only entered the rotation after the All-Star break, and then ended up in fifth, and sure enough, it was gold, and even if you put a cloth on him, the light can't be hidden.

Jokic also rubbed his hands happily at this time, and it was a great joy to be able to get the affirmation of others.

"Boss, you got the DPOY!" But at this moment, Anderson quickly said the point.

At this time, everyone in the locker room turned their heads to look at Xu Yong.

Best Defensive Player?

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

This award came a little suddenly, and it was also a little unexpected for him.

Is this a form of compensation for the league's previous MVP selection?

No, MVP is the biggest honor, DPOY is the biggest honor for defensive players, and this award is also very fierce, and it is unlikely to be used to compensate.

Then think about it, he seems to be really [deserved] this time.

I have to talk about a background here, the league awards are largely based on data, especially the best defensive player, Camby was called a "liar player" back then, because he won this award by brushing data.

Looking at the data, Curry won the steal king 169 times this season, and Xu Yong was 167 times, only 2 times less than Curry, which is actually about the same.

But in addition to steals, Xu Yong also averaged 1.7 blocks per game, which ranked first among all non-interior players.

So even if it's just the data, he's already a hot candidate.

Then talk about impression scores on the basis of data.

Here I have to focus on [noble] James, at the beginning of the season, he cooperated with Xu Yong to contribute to the famous scene of steals and violent dunks, and the rematch was even more out of control by Xu Yonggang's mentality, which was directly full of impression points.

And then there was this past first round, and he prevented George from being able to take care of himself, which was a huge shock to the judges.

Although this award is for the regular season, people are subjective creatures, and the awards are selected in the playoffs, and the impact of the playoffs is inevitable, especially the impression points brought by the presentation of the effect of this game.

When the others confirmed that Anderson was not making Xu Yong happy, the locker room suddenly fell into a carnival.

This is the first time that Xu Yong has been elected as a DPOY in his career, which is more worthy of celebration than MVP.

And because of Xu Yong's "torture" for many days, the team members finally found an opportunity to take a swarm of mineral water bottles to give Xu Yong a bath in advance.

Lose MVP and get DPOY, lose Sangyu and gain the east.

……

Toronto.

Antetokounmpo trotted on his way to the Scotiabank Arena, and the maple leaves on both sides of the road were fiery red.

A cold wind blew, and he reached out and tugged at his collar.

As the capital of the northbound province of Canada in the United States, because of its northerly location, even though spring has begun in April, there is still a feeling of northerly wind.

But he still had a smile on his face.

The maple tree is also a very common tree species in Greece, and the Greek golden maple is considered to be a small name in the world.

So he likes Toronto, which many people think is remote, because it feels like home.

And just now, he sent all this month's salary back to his family, because the team will provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, he can't use the money here for the time being, and he has four siblings at home, and the family's expenses are very large.

It's just that after he sent it, he found out that it was very embarrassing, he forgot to leave the taxi money back to the stadium.

Because the team was flying to Chicago in an hour, he had to get there right away.

His team, after two years of struggle, has finally come to an end.

DeRozan, the boss of their team, has finally grown into the king of the north, although he always feels that the opponent is too silent on and off the court and lacks the temperament of a leader.

In contrast, he prefers Kyle Lowry, who is a small defender but is tough on the field and has a sense of humor, and he feels that Lowry is the real leader of the team.

And James Johnson, that guy is so scary and definitely the one he doesn't want to provoke.

Overall, the team has some shortcomings, but the atmosphere in the team is very good, and he believes they can definitely do something this year.

"Drop! Drip! ”

Just as he was running and imagining, there was a car honking in his ears.

He slowed down and looked around, only to notice a car following him.

"You're Giannis...... Ade...... "The other party rolled down the window, and it was an old woman, watching him try to spell his name there.

His name is pronounced Greek, which is too difficult for Americans to spell.

"You're the Greek guy from the Raptors?" The other party finally gave up the spelling and asked in a different way.

"Yes, ma'am, I'm Antetokounmpo." He smiled brightly.

"Where are you going?" The old woman parked the car.

"Arena, ma'am." He maintains a humble attitude, and he knows that when he is away from home, he represents not only the individual, but also his country.

"Why don't you take a taxi and run instead?" The old woman looked puzzled.

"I ...... I'm exercising. His expression was a little embarrassed, and no one wanted to show his embarrassment in front of strangers.

"Did you forget to bring money?" The old woman smiled kindly, and she seemed to be a good person.

He reached out and scratched his head in embarrassment, not nodding, but already answering.

"I'm going over there too, can you take my car with you?" At this moment, an old man's voice came from the co-pilot.

He leaned over and noticed that a couple were sitting in the car.

He hesitated.

"Kid, you don't think two old men can do anything to you, do you?" The old woman asked with a smile.

"Of course not, that's trouble." He hurriedly waved his hand, then leaned over and got into the car.

However, because he was too big and the car was relatively small, he had to tilt his head sideways to reluctantly sit down.

"Thank you." He didn't forget to be grateful.

"I often watch your games in front of the TV." After the car started, the old man in the co-pilot said with a smile, which explained why they would recognize him.

"I'm honored." He is especially happy, because in the United States, you have to pay to watch NBA games, which is why the broadcast contract can be sold for such a high price, and it is really rare to be able to support the Raptors at such an age.

"When I was younger, I was the main team in our school." The old man's face glowed red and he began to reminisce about the past.

"The basketball you played back then wasn't the same as the basketball you play now." The old woman must have heard too much of his nagging, and hurriedly stopped him.

"All the same, all the same." The old man laughed.

"I'm sure the Raptors can play this year, and we're going to play Chicago later?" The old man turned his head and met his gaze.

"Chicago, that's a brilliant team." After seeing Antetokounmpo nod, the old man said with emotion.

The Raptors were only formed in 1995 and then perfectly caught up with Jordan's second triple.

Fans of that era, who hasn't experienced the fear of being dominated by Jordan?

"We'll win." Antetokounmpo spoke affirmatively.

The old man smiled, looked at him, and finally nodded.

When the old man turned around, Antetokounmpo's expression was a little complicated, because he could see from the other party's eyes that he was not optimistic about the team's promotion.

Yes, the fans were ruled by Jordan back then, and now they are not ruled by Xu Yong?

The car soon reached the entrance of the arena, and he got out of the car and asked the old woman to wait for him.

He scurried into the stadium, ran to the locker room, dug out the ticket from his closet, and then ran out as fast as he could.

Every player in the NBA gets tickets from the team to a greater or lesser extent, and the number of tickets and positions they get varies depending on the status of the team.

He pulled out the ticket with the highest position he had.

This scene made Powell, who was still packing up in the locker room, show a Nick Young question mark face.

He hurried back to where he had parked, only to find it empty and the old woman and the others had already driven away.

The reason why the couple didn't wait for him was that they thought that he went back to get the money, but they just took him by the way and didn't want to take his money, so they left early.

He frowned.

Originally, he thought that the other party hadn't been to the stadium to watch the game, and that was the best gift he could give, but unfortunately he couldn't give it out in the end.

And because he was in a hurry to get the ticket, he even forgot to ask for the other party's name and contact information.

Toronto is so big, the odds of them meeting again are slim.

Soon, though, his brow furrowed.

Although he couldn't deliver the ticket to the other party, the old man said that he would watch the game.

Well, a better gift than a ticket in your hand is to win the game against the Bulls.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench the ticket in his hand.

Yes, he must do it.

……

The next night, the United Center.

The attendance rate at the scene was full, many people were smiling on their faces, discussions came and went, and the signs and KT boards on the scene were also everywhere.

As the playoffs progressed, so did the atmosphere at the United Center.

After the fans warmed up, the DPOY award ceremony was held before the opening ceremony.

Xu Yong received the trophy belonging to DPOY from Tatum, and when he held it high, the United Center fell into a boil.

In the past 20 years, ninety percent of DPOYs have been for interior players, with only Artest in the 03~04 season and Leonard last season being exceptions.

So for non-interior players, this award is even more difficult than MVP.

In the most intuitive words of fans, he is as strong as Jordan, and he has won this award once in his entire career.

Xu Yong did not give any acceptance speech, and after waiting for the cheers to fall, he exchanged a few words with Tatum and then turned around and returned to the team.

DPOY This kind of award, generally speaking, should be the president in person, but Xiao Hua didn't come this time.

Although he doesn't know the specific reason, he still prefers to contact Tatum in comparison, and I don't know if it's because the other party has Chinese ancestry, which always makes him feel a lot more cordial.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were released.

Raptors: Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Antetokounmpo, Valanciunas;

Bulls: Dellavedova, Butler, Xu Yong, West, Adams.

It is worth mentioning that Carroll, who was originally considered to be reimbursed for the season, recovered from injury better than expected, returned in the first round of the playoffs in G5, and helped the Raptors advance to the semifinals in two consecutive cities, which played an obvious role.

Generally, players need to adapt to finding form when they just come back, but he is a 3D striker, and he is not the type of ball holder, which belongs to plug and play.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Adams turned the ball back into the half, and the game between the two sides officially began.

Butler came up and broke through with Adams and sideways past Valanciunas' low-handed layup to give the Bulls the lead.

However, the Raptors are not vegetarians, and DeRozan turned around and took Lowry's pass and hit a mid-range jumper.

Looking back, Butler opted to eat DeRozan hard and scored another goal with a step-back jumper.

DeRozan's offense is level, but his defensive habits are poor, and his defensive IQ is not high.

When he retreated to the defensive end, Butler also significantly strengthened his marking of DeRozan.

DeRozan received the ball and turned wide after the hard hit.

Butler's defense against George's talent is obviously much stronger, but the defensive effect against DeRozan is still very good.

Adams also pressed Valanciunas under the basket to protect the defensive rebound.

The Bulls played a defensive counterattack, and Butler pushed a fast-break break to attract the pinch and stuffed the ball to Xu Yong, who followed up with a one-handed dunk to score.

After the dunk, Xu Yong turned around and high-fived Butler in celebration.

A smile appeared on his face.

From the opening game to the present, Butler's self-confidence and condition are obviously much better than in the regular season.

The benefits of letting him play more in the first round are beginning to show up gradually.

Thanks to his form, when the two sides played for five minutes, the score on the court was 12-5, and the Raptors were clearly suppressed.

On the offense of the Raptors, DeRozan's shot under the basket was ruthlessly blocked by Xu Yong's defense, and the rebound was also won by him.

The Bulls played a fast break again, and Xu Yong directly played an aerial relay with Butler this time, assisting the latter to score a dunk.

The score difference on the field is directly going to double digits.

Raptors head coach Dwyane Casey called a timeout.

When they got to the bench, the Raptors players were obviously a little stunned.

You can't say the Raptors are in bad shape, because what they came up with on both ends of the floor is similar to when they played the Heat.

It's just that the Bulls are still better than them even if they don't have Rose, and Butler is still in such good shape at the beginning.

Of course, the most depressing thing is that Xu Yong hasn't even started to play yet.

Looking at the emotions of his teammates, Antetokounmpo, who is determined to win against the Bulls, is a little anxious.

After Casey finished laying out his tactics, he slammed up from the bench, holding a towel in one hand and raising his fist in the other, bending over and shouting at his teammates: "Wake up!" We're going to fight! The game has just begun, and we're going to fight! ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smash the bench .gif next to him.

His move surprised the Raptors.

Because Antetokounmpo has improved rapidly, his status in the team is almost as good as Valanciunas, and now the two stars in the backfield have not spoken, he comes up directly, and he is still so excited.

However, the effect is obvious, and the Raptors players are clearly out of the circle.

Casey was also relieved to see this scene, DeRozan's personality is actually not suitable to be a team leader, and the Raptors lack that kind of ruthlessness.

He hadn't noticed that Antetokounmpo had this kind of temperament, and he had the potential to be the leader of the team.

After the timeout, Lowry continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt to organize the offense, and this time Antetokounmpo did not stay in place after blocking DeRozan, but quickly cut to the basket, and pointed his hand directly to the sky while cutting.

Lowry flicks the ball into the air.

West saw this, jumped up and tried to intercept.

But it's a pity that his jumping ability is really average, and Antetokounmpo jumps too high.

"Bang!"

Antetokounmpo completed an aerial relay dunk directly above West's head.

There was a stirring at the scene.

Antetokounmpo was still a very skinny guy when he first entered the league, and although he played as a starter in the past two years, his tactical status was not high and he was not very noticeable.

It was after this dunk that they found out that Antetokounmpo had become a devil muscular man at this time, coupled with his tall arm span and running and jumping talent, he was obviously a superstar embryo!

Xu Yong walked up to West at this time and said a few words to him.

Butler continued to break through with the ball, but this time he shook off the layup and was directly denied by Antetokounmpo's defense.

Antetokounmpo roared excitedly after completing the block, turning to celebrate by banging Lowry's chest.

After returning from the timeout, he played a strong presence on both offensive and defensive ends, and even the momentum of the Raptors came up at once.

At this moment, the Bulls sideline ball was issued, Xu Yong reached out to catch the ball with his back against Carroll, and turned around and hit it after the confrontation.

This ball came very thirst-quenching and stabilized the morale of the army at once.

In the Raptors' offensive round, Antetokounmpo directly blocked Lowry this time, and then went down after dismantling.

The Bulls didn't change here, and Westerty went to shrink inside, before Xu Yong reminded him of the skills of defending Antetokounmpo, putting shots to defend the break, and Antetokounmpo at this time basically didn't shoot such a thing.

Lowry's reaction was fast enough, and after seeing Drake go around the cover, he directly fired three guns from the outside.

"Phew!"

It was a good chance, but unfortunately it didn't hit.

The basketball hits the hoop and pops up as a long rebound.

A long arm pocketed the ball directly in the air, and it was clearly Antetokounmpo again.

With a height of 2.13 meters and an arm span of 2.24 meters, he looks like a Greek monster on the court.

And his running and jumping ability is really good enough, after taking off the rebound, he directly and quickly attacked the basket, and West barely gave the confrontation and was violently squeezed away by him.

"Bang!"

Antetokounmpo smashed the ball into the basket again with one hand.

West's ability inevitably declined because of age, which can be seen from his declining statistics.

And more obvious than the stats, the decline is more obvious than his ability on the defensive end, and the rate drop makes it easy for him to lose position defensively.

After completing the dunk, Antetokounmpo became more and more excited, shouting into the sideline camera: "We can win!" ”

He's not just trying to boost the morale of the team, he's also shouting at the couple.

However, he was a little too excited, and after shouting, he turned around and didn't notice that Xu Yong was next to him, and bumped into Xu Yong.

It was nothing, accidental collisions were inevitable in the race, but his next operation was a bit suffocating.

Maybe he was really too excited, or maybe he was young and vigorous, he didn't apologize when he saw that it was Xu Yonghou, but raised his hands and made a "strong" posture.

This scene also happened to be captured by the photographer.

There was a sudden commotion at the scene.

Xu Yong was also a little surprised at first, but when he reacted, a strange smile appeared on his face.

DeRozan was not far away at this time, and the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously after seeing this scene.

He was too familiar with Xu Yong, and the expression just now showed that Xu Yong was going to be ruthless next.

Sure enough, Xu Yong arrived at the three-point line in the front court and began to ask for the ball, and after holding the ball, he directly signaled West to mention the high block, and after the misalignment against Antetokounmpo, he directly signaled to pull away.

Antetokounmpo also seemed to anticipate that Xu Yong's actions would annoy Xu Yong, and he also took a defensive stance at this time.

"They are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you!" And after putting on a defensive posture, he even sprayed trash talk at Xu Yong.

It's just that before he finished speaking, Xu Yong had already changed direction and accelerated past him on the left.

is completely different from the leisurely stroll shown in the previous rounds, Xu Yong at this time gives people the feeling of being a swift king of beasts.

Antetokounmpo was half a beat slower, but he relied on his physical talent to force Xu Yong from behind and saw the right time to make a block.

It's just that Xu Yong is not Butler, and before Antetokounmpo blocked it, he dodged a lever in the air and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Smack!"

Antetokounmpo's block finally landed on his arm and the referee's whistle blew as it was 2+1.

The scene instantly erupted in cheers.

When it comes to describing "fast", the most extreme measure word we can use is "seconds", such as ......

Xu Yong's response speed is seconds.

"What did you just say?" After landing, Xu Yong looked back at Antetokounmpo and asked.

Antetokounmpo's face didn't blush, and his heart didn't beat: "It was an accident. ”

Xu Yong shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and when he got to the free throw line, he said to Antetokounmpo on the side, "Welcome to Chicago." ”

With that, he closed his eyes and shot a free throw.

"Huh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Antetokounmpo's face turned red instantly, this kind of hardcore pretending was too hurtful.

And when he got to the frontcourt, he found that his defender was changed from West to Xu Yong.

Then, he experienced the defensive prowess of a new DPOY in this round.

Theoretically, Antetokounmpo's height and arm span are all dominant, just like Xu Yong's body size is one size bigger than Kobe, Antetokounmpo's body size is also one size larger than Xu Yong.

But it is obvious that he has no other advantages except for his size, whether it is offensive skills or game experience, he is too bad, and even his most proud confrontation cannot be taken advantage of in front of Xu Yong.

The Raptors played two waves of offense this round, and his off-ball movement didn't get any chances.

Fortunately, DeRozan had a hard hand at the critical moment and hit a difficult mid-range in the face of Butler's defense.

11 to 19.

With a score difference of 8 points, the two sides were a bit deadlocked in the score at this stage.

The Bulls' offense, Xu Yong continued to receive the ball at the three-point line in the front court, and then beckoned Westra to the high post to block and dismantle, and signaled to pull away after misplacing the letter brother.

Carol wanted to come over to help defend the ball, but was forced back by Xu Yong's one-handed pass.

And just after pulling the ball back, he broke through with a sideways drag step and went straight past Antetokounmpo to break through from the right side.

Although Antetokounmpo has excellent running and jumping ability, after all, such a big person, especially after gaining muscle, is obviously not as fast as Xu Yong.

But he's working hard and he's got a reason to win tonight.

He struggled to twist his body and then used his long arms to reach for the ball.

But the ball that was in his field of vision one moment disappeared the next.

Xu Yong pulled back from his crotch in the middle of the march and pulled the ball directly from the right side back to the left.

Antetokounmpo was too strong and his hands had no support point, so the whole person was directly shaken out.

And after shaking Antetokounmpo, Xu Yong didn't rush to shoot, and only after the hard-working Antetokounmpo got up and wanted to pounce again, he completed the shot and hit steadily.

The scene exploded instantly.

Xu Yong's murderous ball is even more hurtful than the 2+1 just now.

However, this is not the most hurtful part, the most hurtful part is that after completing the shot, Xu Yong said to Antetokounmpo, whose face was flushed: "I know, the ground is slippery." ”

He was so caring, he didn't have to make excuses for himself this time, he prepared it for him in advance.

Antetokounmpo's breathing accelerated, like a boiling teapot, whining and smoking above his head.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The scene began to resound with deafening cheers from fans, and Xu Yong's consecutive scores had brought the atmosphere of the United Center to a climax.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the defensive intensity of the Bulls was noticeably up, and DeRozan's shot this time failed to continue to hit.

Antetokounmpo saw the opportunity to rush to the front court to grab the rebound, and he was about to stage a brace.

But this time, before his hand touched the ball, Xu Yong jumped up from the other side, and before he was about to catch the ball, he was stunned and snatched the ball from the moon.

Although the height and arm span are not dominant, but compared to the bullet speed, Xu Yong does not lose to anyone.

And after winning the rebound, Xu Yong did not rush to push the fast attack, but dribbled the ball to the front court.

Then, he double-clicked and motioned for West to block him.

Before the ball was played, the United Center had already begun to boil, and a large number of fans couldn't help but get up excitedly.

It's only three times, but this is the third round in a row that Xu Yong has singled Antetokounmpo!

Young people are not vigorous and young people are called young people, but being young and vigorous comes at a price.

This time, the rest of the Bulls also sank to the bottom line early, and Xu Yong directly launched an attack.

He didn't have that many ball-handling skills this time, and he directly broke through with explosive power.

Antetokounmpo quickly retreated to the inside, and although the speed was a little unable to keep up, the other man's big stride naturally made a big step.

The two burst into the forbidden area one after the other, and then Xu Yong's choice was beyond everyone's expectations.

He didn't change his rhythm or use any basketball skills, he just jumped to the ground.

Violent insertion, strong on the front.

Antetokounmpo was instantly excited.

Xu Yong's offensive skills are too good, he is a Greek monster with no talent but has never been able to find an output angle, but he likes this kind of head-on confrontation too much.

His height and arm span are completely advantageous, and the confrontation is also strong, and this ball can definitely risk Xu Yong's head and face.

He thought well, but there was a deviation between reality and reason, because Xu Yong's bullet speed was too fast.

He had just jumped up, and Xu Yongren was already in mid-air.

He reached for the block, and Xu Yong was already throwing the ball into the basket.

"Bang!"

In the stunned looks of the fans at the scene, Xu Yong directly overturned Antetokounmpo in the air and smashed the ball into the basket like a bombshell with one hand.

The basket shuddered violently.

There was silence at the United Center, but then a deafening cheer erupted.

This ball, it's too explosive!

"Don't forget, Xu is the champion of the slam dunk contest!" On the commentary seat, after seeing this scene, Mike Brin couldn't help but sigh.

"Perhaps this buckle will make the Greeks understand how irrational his actions have been." Lightning Miller also added.

Casey's words about to call a timeout were already on his lips, but he still suppressed them.

Antetokounmpo has shown a rare quality of leadership, and it would be a huge blow to his confidence if he were replaced at this time.

Casey was right, as the hard-working Antetokounmpo grabbed the offensive rebound again after Lowry missed the ball.

It's just that just when he hit the board, a figure came out of the oblique side and confiscated the ball directly!

And after landing on the ground, Xu Yong did a gesture that is very familiar to Chicago fans, he held the ball in his right hand, and pointed the index and middle fingers of his left hand first at his eyes, and then turned to Antetokounmpo in front of him.

There is no trash talk at this point, but it is better than trash talk, because the action means: I'm staring at you! (I'm staring at you)

There were already fans at the scene who began to hold their heads, and they only found out tonight how terrifying Xu Yong can be after being really provoked.

After Xu Yong advanced to the front court with the ball, it was not surprising that West continued to block and send Antetokounmpo to his eyes.

Antetokounmpo's eyes at this time were obviously not as firm as before, because Xu Yong's continuous blow was unbearable for anyone.

And what's even worse is that he doesn't know how to defend against Xu Yong now, Xu Yong's breakthrough is too fast, and he doesn't dare to press too far ahead.

But Xu Yong didn't give him much time to think, and after a sinking, it was a fall.

Antetokounmpo took such a big step back that he didn't even realize that Xu Yong had completely closed the ball at the same time as he fell.

By the time he really reacted, it was obviously too late.

Although he pounced hard, Xu Yong calmly completed a three-point shot in front of him.

"Huh!"

A crisp sound of entering the network came.

Just when you thought it would be over after three, Xu Yong faced Antetokounmpo in the fourth round in a row.

And, predictably, there will be a fifth, a sixth, more than seven......

Fortunately, Casey ended it early, and he reached out to call a timeout, because he realized that if he didn't call a timeout, Antetokounmpo would be crushed by Xu Yong's confidence.

Before the next time, DeRozan glanced up at the score.

11 to 26.

In just a few rounds, the difference has come to 15 points!

He couldn't help but look at Antetokounmpo.

Originally, the Raptors were only a little inferior at the beginning, and the Bulls now have no Rose, and the strength of the bench connection section is not so strong, they have a chance to chase the disadvantage back, but now, they have lost 20 points in a single quarter.

Why did you say you had nothing to do to provoke Xu Yong!

(End of chapter)
