Chapter 259 When the background board, the raptor is professional (10,000 words chapter please subscribe!) Ask for a commuter pass!! )
On the afternoon of the battle between the Bulls and the Raptors, Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith rode to the United Center in oversized Humvees to prepare for the evening's commentary.
The NBA regular season and playoffs are sold separately, and the playoffs are contracted by TNT almost every year.
"Do you think the Raptors have a good chance tonight?" O'Neill, sitting in the passenger seat, turned to the two partners in the back seat and asked.
"Fifty percent." Kenny Smith replied, "I wouldn't say they're the better team, but they're the better team. ”
Smith's character in TNT's commentary has always been the [Emperor of Reason], and most of his analysis will be based on real situations.
Theoretically, it's hard for the Raptors to continue the G4 form, but who's to say they won't?
And from trailing 0-2 to a 2-2 draw, the morale of the Raptors must be very strong.
However, their problem, the away record is not as good as the home, the strength is not superior, and the two sides are evenly matched.
Barkley calmly made a "0" gesture.
"If the Raptors can really win Tianwang Mountain, it will be big news." O'Neill said with a smile.
He is obviously also supporting the Bulls, but if the Raptors win, then G6 returns to Toronto, and the Raptors may really eliminate the Bulls.
"Yes, there will be big news." Barkley said with a smile, he seemed to be too direct just now, ignoring his poisoned milk attributes.
……
United Center.
At this time, there was still half a day before the official start of the competition, but the media and staff were already busy.
Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping came to the competition venue early, because of the rise of Xu Yong over the years, Zhang Weiping has not retreated from the front line, and Yang Yi has become the most well-known commentator in China with his flamboyant style.
"Director Zhang, what do you guess I had last night?" At this time, Yang Yi asked Zhang Weiping with a smile.
"What dream?" Zhang Weiping has a gentle temper and has the potential to be praised.
"I dreamed that Xu Yong broke the single-game scoring record in the NBA playoffs!" Yang Yi's face was full of red light.
Zhang Weiping laughed when he heard it, and he didn't know whether to laugh at Yang Yi's good dream, or laugh at what it would be like if it really came true.
"And then I'll go check it out, and guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
"It happened to be 30 years ago, and it was on this site, you say, it's a coincidence?"
"That's a coincidence." After Zhang Weiping finished speaking, he suddenly couldn't help but look at Yang Yi, how did he think this kid had a talent for storytelling?
While chatting, the Bulls entered the arena, where they would have an hour or so of open practice in the afternoon, completely open to the media.
However, this is all basic training, after all, the content that will be exposed by the media will not involve the tactical level, mainly to let the outside world know the current state of the team.
The state of the whole Bulls team still looks very relaxed, and there is no sense of pressure on their faces because they are forced into Tianwang Mountain.
However, Yang Yi's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that Xu Yong's expression looked much more serious than the others.
It gave him a different smell.
What dreams are naturally fake, but he is just chatting with the elderly.
But there is a special thing about tonight's game, that is, he has the impression that the Bulls have rarely played Tianwang Mountain with their opponents over the years, but they have played against the Heat twice, and Xu Yong's score on both occasions is not low.
Then seeing Xu Yong's state, he suddenly felt that he could really dream.
When the Bulls' field training was over, Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping went down to prepare for the interview.
Now Xu Yong's status is very high, and it is difficult for the general media to interview him, but there will be a quota on CCTV, of course, the length of the interview is determined by Xu Yong himself.
Seeing Zhang Weiping and them coming, Xu Yong's always serious face showed a smile and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to say hello.
No matter what the situation, Xu Yong will maintain the greatest enthusiasm for the domestic fans, because they are the fans who support him the most.
"I had a dream last night that you broke the NBA playoff scoring record tonight." Yang Yi came up and said, even if it is a fake dream, it is already true at this time.
"Really?" Xu Yong looked suspicious, but then said with a smile, "Fortunately, it wasn't Director Zhang who did it." ”
Zhang Weiping was stunned for a moment, and then all three of them laughed.
Over the years, he has always been slapped in the face by himself because of Zhang Weiping's commentary, and he has been called China Barkley by some fans.
"Can I make my dreams come true tonight?" Yang Yi asked with a smile, because it was in an interview, this question seemed very skillful.
"I'm more focused on the team's win than that." Xu Yong's answer is also very level.
"If you can't win the game with 50 points, will you get 60 points or more?" Yang Yi really knows how to talk about clichés.
"Yes." Xu Yong replied in the affirmative, but then also signaled for the interview to end.
When Xu Yong left, Zhang Weiping looked at Yang Yi with a hint of complaint in his eyes, such a cliché would make Xu Yong unhappy.
Yang Yi didn't care, because if Xu Yongzhen broke the scoring record, then his [dream come true] would definitely be on the hot search, and it would become a hot stalk.
He unconsciously looked at Xu Yong, who had already entered the player's tunnel, and he had such a premonition.
At this time, there were already fans who began to enter early, and there were still two hours before the start of the game.
With half an hour to go before the start of the game, the venue was full and the enthusiasm of the fans was very high.
The Raptors have a high win rate at home, and the Bulls have a good win rate at home, and it's all about the fans.
The players from both sides also entered one after another at this time, and when Xu Yong appeared, the scene instantly burst into a deafening cheer.
This is not only because of Xu Yong's popularity, but also because everyone knows that in a key battle like Tianwang Mountain, Xu Yong is the one who can control the situation the most.
Xu Yong entered the court and glanced at the Raptors, who were talking and laughing, and their state seemed to be relaxed, which was completely different from the last time they came to Chicago.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.
Raptors: Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Antetokounmpo, Valanciunas;
Bulls: Dellavedova, Butler, Yong Xu, Kyle Anderson, Adams.
Both starters were similar to the front, with the only change being on the Bulls' side, where Thibodeau replaced West with Anderson.
West was passive against Antetokounmpo in this series, and this adjustment was expected.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Valanciunas turned the ball back into the half, and the battle of Tianwang Mountain officially began.
The Raptors came up with a great combination, and after DeRozan ran to contain the defense, Lowry knocked the ball to Antetokounmpo, who received the ball and dunked it for the lead.
It can be clearly seen that with Antetokounmpo's excellent performance in the first few games, his tactical position in the Raptors has been greatly improved.
The Bulls advanced to the frontcourt, and after Xu Yong received the ball in a pindown tactic, he directly faked a real shot past Carroll, and a jumping air lever dodged Valanciunas, who helped the defense, and scored.
Xu Yong also changed the style of play that let Butler warm up first in the past few games, but attacked at the beginning, and the attack was very resolute.
Back in the day, Antetokounmpo's cut after the pick-and-roll drew the attention of the defense, and DeRozan went around the cover to pick up Lowry's pass and hit the shot.
The Raptors started in a hot state, and they really continued the G4 state with this posture.
That's not good news for the Bulls.
And Casey was very alert, after the Bulls advanced to the front court again, he had already waved his hand to pinch Xu Yongshang.
It's like when facing the Oriental Express, you will not consider whether he can hit, but whether it has targeted you.
The Raptors are now in high spirits and have excellent execution, and after Casey shouted over there, as soon as Xu Yong received the ball, Antetokounmpo rushed to Xu Yong's side.
However, before Antetokounmpo's pinch was formed, Xu Yong had already turned and broke through with a low center of gravity from Carroll's right-hand side and smashed along the baseline into the penalty area.
His reaction was so quick that Valanciunas didn't have time to go up and help the defense this time.
Xu Yong sent the ball to the basket with a light glide and put the ball firmly into the basket.
The cheers at the scene burst into flames in an instant.
As fans, they can't feel a ball yet, but with these two goals in succession, they can already fully feel Xu Yong's unusually strong desire to attack tonight.
If the NBA is regarded as a jungle, Xu Yong, as the king of beasts, has already made people feel the cold air.
It's not just the fans who feel it, the rest of the Bulls feel it completely.
Butler began to direct his teammates' defensive positions on the defensive end, and the Bulls began to show their defensive intensity.
DeRozan was distracted by Butler and Antetokounmpo was entangled by Anderson, and Lowry finally chose to hit the basket with Valanciunas after the pick-and-roll.
Lowry has a strong confrontation ability and is called "Little Steel Cannon" by fans, but this ball Adams gave the confrontation for the first time, [Little Steel Cannon] met [Unshakable Thing], and he couldn't hit it at all, and his reluctant throw finally hit the right edge of the basket, and the rebound was accepted by Adams.
After Adams got the ball, he turned his head and threw the ball to Xu Yong.
Others may still need some time to react, but a few of them had trained with Xu Yong before, but they knew that Xu Yong had long been holding back his strength and had no place to sprinkle.
After Xu Yong got the ball, he advanced quickly, and a sudden burst of acceleration directly gave Carol over, and he was very fast.
Casey shouted anxiously from the sidelines, and Antetokounmpo showed his athleticism and turned from the middle to make up for Seo.
But Xu Yong didn't play with him like G1 at all this time, and wiped him away without slowing down with a direct change of direction.
Antetokounmpo struggled to catch up from behind, but he soon found that he couldn't catch up with Xu Yong with the ball without the ball.
"Bang!"
Xu Yong strode to the front court and slammed the ball into the basket with a one-handed smash that glided directly.
The United Center was completely in a boil.
At this time, the fans not only felt the cold, but saw the sharp fangs that Xu Yong exposed.
However, the Raptors are not sitting still, and they are also the first dragons.
Although DeRozan's outside shot missed the basket under Butler's hard interference, Antetokounmpo rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, scored in the basket, and also caused Anderson's defensive foul, which was 2+1.
After walking to the free throw line, he adjusted his breathing and hit a steady free throw, which also helped the Raptors take a 7-6 lead.
In fact, when he first entered the league, Antetokounmpo's free throw shooting level was online, and he has shot above 75% of the free throw line in the past two seasons.
Of course, the bigger problem with this ball is that the Bulls are now a little weak at the No. 4 position, West can't defend against Antetokounmpo because of his slow speed, and Anderson can't bear it despite his speed.
Xu Yong communicated with Anderson for a while.
When it came to the frontcourt, Xu Yong continued to receive the ball, but this time Antetokounmpo's help defense came earlier, basically letting Anderson come over.
Xu Yong saw the right moment to turn around, and threw the ball from the baseline to Anderson in the weak bottom corner.
Anderson trained his three-pointers early to make sense of it, as he shot faster than he would in history, getting the shot and hitting it before the help was in place.
7-9, the Bulls overtook the score again.
And when the offense and defense switched, Antetokounmpo suddenly found that Xu Yong had switched defenses to himself again.
Antetokounmpo saw that his fighting spirit suddenly rose, and he who was pressed to death by Xu Yong in G1 has been waiting for a chance to take revenge.
He took the initiative to block Lowry, and then quickly went down.
Lowry's choice of the ball was very clever, he knew that Xu Yong had a strong steal ability, and after making a feint to hit the ground, he chose to hang high and pass the ball in.
However, the ball was not delivered to Antetokounmpo in the end, because Lowry underestimated Xu Yong's reaction speed, and the moment he hoisted the ball out, Xu Yong flew up from the ground with a "poof", like a volleyball player, and grabbed the ball directly!
Everyone else on the field was stunned, what kind of anti-heaven bullet speed and reaction this was.
Lowry reacted and wanted to snatch the ball back, but Xu Yong turned and accelerated after landing and left him cleanly behind.
Even if the rest of the Raptors reacted, they completely lost the desire to catch up in the face of such a situation.
Then, it's a one-man fast attack.
The cheers of the fans had already sounded in advance, and Xu Yong was also very cooperative, and when he rushed to the front court, he accelerated into the air and directly performed a signature 360° turn dunk.
The United Center was filled with cheers from the fans, and many people got up and threw their fists excitedly.
Xu Yong, in less than five minutes, he has already scored 8 points!
It was now as if it had pounced on the Raptor, and directly tore off the flesh on the other party's body, revealing a blood-red wound.
Casey couldn't sit still.
Although the Raptors are only 4 points behind in terms of score, Xu Yong's momentum is something he has never seen in the entire series.
"Defend! Defend! ”
The fans at the United Center were fully up, and the shouts in unison echoed through the arena.
On the other side of the commentary seat, Yang Yi's expression was already extremely excited, and he felt that he really wanted God's prophecy today!
Brother Alphabet was a little tough, and he actually leaned his back against Xu Yong in the low post and wanted to hit his back.
Fortunately, Lowry didn't lose his mind, although Xu Yong is a swing man, but if you look at his low-level single-handedness, you know that it won't work at all, not to mention that Luoyang Taishou next door has verified it many times over the years.
He motioned for Antetokounmpo to mention the high pick-and-roll.
Xu Yong had a brief defensive exchange with Dellavedova at this time.
When the blocking and demolition occurred, Della directly chose not to give Lowry a three-point chance from the outside, and appropriately let him burst in, while Xu Yong took the opportunity to shrink backwards.
Lowry hoisted the ball directly to Antetokounmpo, but the latter caught the ball and faced Xu Yong's defense again.
Antetokounmpo was very excited when he saw this, and directly gave Xu Yong a confrontation, but he was surprised to find that he did not take advantage of him, and the next second he felt a light in his hand, and the ball had been slapped away by Xu Yong.
After this set of operations, fans saw Xu Yong and the man's figures overlapping in a trance.
Jordan's career average steals per game has been stable 2+ all year round, and even at his peak, most of them are close to 3, and many rounds have happened like this.
When the opponent is misplaced, he wants to eat him directly with his height and size, but nine times out of ten, he is cut off like this.
The current Xu Yong is very similar to Jordan, because they also have the strength to stand up to the confrontation, and they are very fast.
Antetokounmpo reacted too late, and Xu Yong rushed out sideways, and after the steal, he buried his head and accelerated.
Lowry wanted to foul when he saw it, but Xu Yong shook his hand and gave the ball to Butler on the other side, and then used the doggy footwork to dodge and cross.
The emotions of the fans at the scene who had not yet fallen were suddenly lifted up again.
At this moment, Xu Yong felt that tearing off a piece of meat was not happy enough, and stabbed another claw into the flesh of the raptor.
"Bang!"
Xu Yong received Butler's return pass and quickly whipped up, rushed to the front court and then made a light one-handed gliding dunk.
In less than five minutes, his personal score has come to 10 points!
And with this wave of defensive counterattacks, the Raptors can't even form an effective defense against him.
Casey quickly called a timeout, he felt that if he continued to play like this, the Raptors would soon be crushed.
After the timeout, the Raptors readjusted their offensive focus, allowing Antetokounmpo, who was limited by Xu Yong, to be pinned down, and DeRozan returning to the center of the offense.
The adjustment was timely, as DeRozan showed his excellent form in this year's playoffs, quenching the Raptors' thirst with a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll.
9-13, the two sides are still 4 points apart.
"Come on! Bulls! ”
The fans continued to chant in unison.
At this time, when Xu Yong was running, there were two people who attacked him one after the other.
But this obviously didn't work, because after Xu Yong gave Butler the gesture, Butler broke through directly to the inside and then distributed it to Dellavedova on the outside, who took a 45° angle three-point shot.
Dellavedova does two things on the court, three-pointers and defense, and he can press Stephenson to play the starting point guard with the Bulls because he can do both.
Of course, more importantly, there is a fundamental difference between the Bulls and the Bulls 30 years ago.
What Yang Yi didn't say before, or didn't dare to say, is that 30 years ago, Jordan even scored the highest single-game score in the playoffs and gave birth to Bird's phrase "God put on the No. 23 jersey", but in the end the Bulls lost the game, because Bird's sentence was followed by a sentence "but we beat him".
Because at that time, the Bulls basically pointed at Jordan alone, especially against the league leader like the Celtics.
But now the Bulls are not like that, and although there is no Rose, the rest of the Bulls on the court is much better than the people on that team back then.
Especially with the presence of Butler, his current ability, especially his performance against the Magic in the first round, is already better than Pippen, and it is not too much to change to a playoff-caliber team.
9-16, the difference suddenly came to 7 points.
The Raptors' frontcourt offense didn't, and in retrospect, they really didn't dare to continue to hit Xu Yong without the ball.
Xu Yong received the ball and faced Carroll, who began to feel weak on his hands and feet, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead like countless defenders who had played against Xu Yong before.
At this time, he didn't know how to prevent Xu Yong at all.
Casey didn't blame him, because he knew that Xu Yong's desire to attack tonight was like the Dongfeng Express that was sent, and it couldn't be intercepted.
So he could only shout for Antetokounmpo to go over and help defend.
Xu Yong quickly dragged past Carroll, but Carroll didn't give up and flanked Antetokounmpo back and forth.
Xu Yong began to show off at this time, only to see a feint of passing the ball to the weak side with one hand while he was marching to attract the attention of the Antetokounmpo defense in front of him, and then jumped to the right side of the mid-range jumper while collecting the ball.
Carroll showed his defensive prowess, jumping hard to block Seo from behind.
He came close, but couldn't succeed in the end, because Xu Yong, sensing the threat, pulled the ball to the side while dodging a lever in the air to complete the shot.
The basketball hit the board and shot diagonally into the net bag, and the United Center was completely in a frenzy, with a large number of fans getting up and shouting.
This is a shot, it's basically a cup of coffee in the air!
Carol and Antetokounmpo glanced at each other at this time, and they both saw in each other's eyes an emotion called helplessness and despair.
If you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it at all!
“Holy Shit! Is this an action that humans can do? Barkley slapped the table excitedly in the commentary box.
"Oh, it turned out to be Satan, and he really wasn't human." Then he asked himself.
In hindsight, he suddenly realized that he had predicted what would happen tonight.
Tonight, it's really going to be big news!
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 27-37, and the Bulls took a double-digit lead in the first quarter.
The Raptors are still in the same state, DeRozan scored 10 points in a single quarter, but he couldn't stand the opposite Xu Yong's 25 points in a single quarter.
And Xu Yongde's 25 points were obtained under the heavy siege of the Raptors.
It's just that at the beginning of the second quarter, the Raptors quickly caught up with the score.
Seo's insane scoring could only allow the Bulls to establish an advantage in the starting period, but when it comes to the bench transition, there will still be problems in this series.
In order to cope, Thibodeau could only replace Butler on the court in advance to stabilize the situation.
At halftime, the Bulls led the Raptors 61-53.
Xu Yong was too strong in the first quarter, and there were obviously some minor physical problems in the second quarter, but he still scored 11 points in a single quarter, and his halftime score has reached 36 points.
At half-time, both sides returned to the locker room to rest.
Yang Yi had already taken out the tablet and started writing press releases in advance.
He was already sure that it would be a night out for Xu Yong and the Chinese fans.
Coming back from halftime, Xu Yong's fitness seemed to be a lot more abundant, but in the second half, Kessie's side began to adopt extreme defensive methods.
In the first quarter, he briefly used the off-ball two-man pinch strategy, and he used it for the whole quarter.
Then, on top of that, he opted to shrink the defense and then give the Bulls a certain shot from the outside.
Such a strategy is a gamble, because once the Bulls score, the Raptors will be directly destroyed in this quarter.
Then he bet right, and the Bulls shot 1-of-7 from the outside of the quarter.
The difference between the third quarter and the opening is that after a fierce confrontation in the half, the feeling of ordinary players will inevitably decline.
For example, sometimes you see some players, especially key players on the defensive end, who may hit consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, but he may not be able to shoot any of them in the next three quarters, and that's the impact of confrontation and fitness.
And there is another point, there is always only one ball on the basketball court, Xu Yong attacks more, which means that others attack less, except for some top role players who can do it for a long time without shooting and can shoot as soon as they shoot, most players are difficult to find the crosshairs at once.
This is also the reason why the role players around James receive passes in the last moments and always fail to shoot, and it is not just a matter of ability.
Xu Yong only got 5 shots in this quarter under the crazy attack of the Raptors and scored 8 points.
At the end of the third quarter, he scored 44 points, and the score on the court became 84-81, and the Raptors relied on this strategy to overtake the score.
At this time, the fans at the scene couldn't sit still, putting aside G3, since G4, luck seems to have been on the side of the Raptors.
Or rather, since Rose's injury, the Bulls have not had a lot of luck this season.
Could it be that Xu Yong's Satan is so famous that God can't stand it?
And what's worse is that the Bulls are now suffering a loss in the transition section, and if they continue to be pulled away, it will not be so easy for the Bulls to chase back later.
However, when the players from both sides came on the stage, the scene began to resound with bursts of cheers.
Not for anything else, just because Xu Yong appeared at the beginning of the fourth quarter!
Xu Yong didn't go off the game in the third quarter, and this posture was to play the rhythm of the second half.
The photographer on the scene also gave the lens to Xu Yong, and everyone knew that if they wanted to turn the situation around, they could only rely on Xu Yong.
Seeing this, Casey temporarily called James Johnson, who was about to play, and replaced him with Antetokounmpo, and then explained to him for a while.
At this time, the two sides are on the court, Raptors: Joseph, Terrence Rose, Carroll, Antetokounmpo, Biyombo;
Bulls: Stephenson, Holiday , Yong Xu, David West, Jokic.
It is worth mentioning that in the first half, Thibodeau used Vallejo in the second quarter, but it didn't work well and Jokic was used instead.
Coming up to the Raptors' offense, Rose's jumper from the outside was interfered with by Holiday and missed.
The rebound was protected by Jokic, but the Raptors moved quickly and quickly retreated back to the halfcourt.
Casey reached out on the sidelines at this time, and the Raptors continued to pinch Xu Yong without the ball.
He tasted the sweetness in the third quarter, and continued to use that defensive strategy in the fourth quarter.
However, in the first round after this return, their defensive strategy was ineffective.
Seo has improved his off-ball movement, while Carroll and Antetokounmpo have been declining.
In such a fierce game, no one was much better than the other's physical fitness, Carroll and Antetokounmpo limited Xu Yong for the entire quarter in the third quarter, and their physical consumption was also very large.
Of course, there is another point, the Bulls have more people on the court who can handle the ball at this time.
Stephenson and Jokic, they're the kind of players who play the ball very quickly.
In this first round, Xu Yong hit a mid-range shot at the first moment when he ran out of space, receiving a pass from Jokic.
Counting up, although Xu Yong had more runs in the third quarter, he had fewer shots and fewer strong hits, coupled with his own physical reserves, his physical fitness was much more sufficient than the two who chased him all over the court.
However, Joseph came back and broke through the inside to score a response shot.
The Raptors' ability to pair two shots off the bench is underrated, and Jokic is nowhere near as good as Adams on the defensive end.
But fortunately, he can really pass it.
This time, Xu Yong only got rid of it slightly, and Jokic had already stuffed the ball in front of him in advance.
This has a technical term in basketball, which is called "the ball leads the man".
Xu Yong received the ball and accelerated, and hit the inside to force the attack, causing Biyombo's defensive foul, and got the opportunity to go to the free throw line.
He adjusted his breathing and hit both free throws.
In the opening two rounds, he has already scored four points.
It's a bit fast.
In terms of passing ability alone, Jokic is better than Butler now, and a lot.
Because he is not only a tall man with a high vision, but also has a top-notch grasp of passing timing and strength, which always feels very unreasonable for a rookie.
Then Casey found that his strategy was no longer working.
When the main forces of the two sides came back, less than five minutes passed, and Xu Yong scored another 12 points like chopping melons and vegetables.
The Bulls, on the other hand, regained the lead 93-88.
At this time, the on-site LED screen gave Xu Yong's statistics tonight: 56 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and there was a new record logo next to it.
Prior to that, Seo's playoff single-game scoring record was achieved in 2013 against the Heat, with 52 points.
At the same time, Jordan set a record of 63 points in a single playoff game when he faced the Celtics on this field 30 years ago.
There are still 7 minutes to go before the game, and Xu Yong is still 7 points away from that record.
Everyone knows that there is indeed big news to happen tonight, and Yang Yi is really going to make his dream come true.
Now what I see is how big this news is and how beautiful this dream is.
However, Xu Yong's eyes were not on that at this time, because the Bulls were far from winning the game.
The lineup of the two sides in the decisive stage, Raptors: Lowry, DeRozan, Carroll, Antetokounmpo, Valanciunas;
Bulls: Dellavedova, Butler, Yong Xu, Kyle Anderson, Adams.
DeRozan came up and hit a mid-range shot to help the Raptors tighten the score.
And Xu Yong was hit by a double after receiving the ball this time.
Thibodeau is heavy on defense, and it is impossible for him to keep Jokic on the court in the end, and Jokic is not there, and the ball cannot reach Xu Yong in the first time.
The situation was similar to the third quarter, but not quite the same, because Xu Yong at least received the ball.
In the face of the pincer attack, he directly chose to turn around and break through to the bottom line.
Then, he looked like he was walking with a pincer.
When he reached the baseline, he made a sharp stop, turned around and aimed for the basket in the air, and scored on top of the heads of Carroll and Antetokounmpo.
Carol gasped, and then Antetokounmpo also stumbled on his feet, and at this time, the two people who looked at each other invariably had a question mark in their minds: Xu Yong, won't you be tired?
Just look at whether a person is tired or not, just look at the rhythm of his shots, Xu Yong's rhythm and speed, compared with the opening, it seems that there is no change!
It's a pity that they debuted relatively late, and I don't know that when Xu Yong first arrived at the Bulls, he was also the master who was filled with Xibodu.
DeRozan turned around and faked a real shot to make a kill inside, hitting both free throws after hitting the free throw line.
95-92, the Raptors are still tight on the score.
Casey was in command on the defensive end at this time, and the Raptors stopped pinching Xu Yong, and he also realized that Carroll and Antetokounmpo didn't have the physical strength to continue to be so pinched.
However, there was a change on the defensive end, Antetokounmpo came over to defend Xu Yong.
Seeing this, Xu Yong fell to a low position and reached out with his back to ask for the ball.
Naturally, his physical strength cannot be lost, but it is relatively more, and now if he wants to seek a hit rate, he can only attack from a low position.
Antetokounmpo was overjoyed when he saw this, he had a huge advantage against him in the low position, and he was really afraid that Xu Yong would never fight like this.
But he couldn't laugh in the next second, because after Xu Yong gave him a strong confrontation, he directly turned around and leaned back, feintmed and took up and down steps, easily shook off him, wiped the board and scored.
His confrontation and athleticism proved to be really good, but he was too far behind in experience.
Xu Yong's data was given again on the big screen at the scene, and his score had come to 60 points.
In this section alone, Xu Yong has already scored 16 points!
And this section is just over halfway through.
Barkley held back and didn't speak, but he knew that after tonight, Jordan's name would only be second on this list.
DeRozan's mid-range return to catch the ball after running off the ball!
He is separated from Xu Yongbiao.
The scene was also constantly flashing, who would have thought that three of the four NBA players who came out of Arizona State University would become supergiants, and they would also stage peak showdowns in the playoffs one after another.
Xu Yong fell to the low post to receive the ball this time and was hit by a pinch, and the ball gave Dellavedova a three-point opportunity.
But this time, Dravendova's shot missed the basket.
However, Adams directly picked up the frontcourt rebound and quickly gave the ball to Xu Yong, who was still in the low post.
Xu Yong received the ball with a jump, scored a backhand layup and made Valanciunas's thug foul!
Seeing the ball scored, Xu Yong reached out in front of him and clenched his fist, and this 2+1 could help them establish a lead.
But it was at this time that the cheers of the scene began to erupt uncontrollably.
Because Xu Yong scored 62 points after scoring this goal, if he also scored a free throw, he would tie Jordan's 63 points!
"Huh!"
Xu Yong did not disappoint, and the penalty hit steadily.
"Ahh
The basketball god who was spending money at Las Vegas sneezed.
The air conditioning in this casino is a bit cold.
DeRozan's shot was finally deflected wide by Butler's defense, and Adams was very tough to dominate the card position with Valanciunas and protect the defensive rebound.
These two rebounds, Thibodeau's role in keeping him on the court is fully reflected.
100-94, with four minutes to go, the Bulls held a six-point lead.
Butler organized the front court and handed the ball to Xu Yong after the others pulled it away.
Xu Yong received the ball in the high position, and the scene began to erupt in a sea of cheers.
Because from now on, every point Xu Yong gets is a new record, and they are the witnesses of this record.
And Xu Yong, now he just wants to pull the score away early, and then go back to take a hot bath.
Although Chicago is not as cold as Toronto, he has played so far tonight, and his body is also very tired.
Antetokounmpo suddenly stepped forward, he had now hit the brain with no oxygen, and he just wanted to cut off the ball in Xu Yong's hand.
Xu Yong turned around and dodged, then accelerated to the basket, and shot against Valanciunas's defense, a high parabolic shot.
The basketball hits the rebound with a muffled sound, and then falls into the net bag with a pleasant sound.
The sound was like a match thrown into a haystack, instantly igniting the United Center.
Almost all the fans stood up at this moment and started chanting Satan frantically.
On the commentary seat, Barkley stood up directly, raising his hands in the direction of Xu Yong and making a bow and worship movement.
65 points.
After Xu Yong scored this goal, a new NBA playoff single-game scoring record was born!
"A very interesting thing." On the other side, O'Neill touched his chin and spoke.
"Kobe's 81 points were also scored against the Raptors." As Kobe's old enemy and friend, he certainly remembers such details.
After listening to O'Neill, Barkley, who had just sat down, was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help laughing.
Although this is just a coincidence, the Raptors are really professional when it comes to the background board!
Of course, he didn't forget to add: "But tonight the Raptors are not defending Xu. ”
65 points and 81 points are not just the difference in points, nor is it just the difference between the playoffs and the regular season, because the defensive intensity of the Raptors in the second half tonight is directly full.
On the court, the Raptors' scoring has been broken.
Because after Xu Yong hit the high-throwing board, the score difference on the court has come to 8 points, and the time left for the Raptors is a little insufficient, and they began to fight for three points, but unfortunately DeRozan is not a stable three-point shooter, and the Raptors do not have this kind of player.
With the final minute left in the game, the score was 104-94, and the Raptors had no chance.
Casey called a timeout and was ready to pull off the main force.
Thibodeau looked at Xu Yong at this time, as if asking if he wanted to continue playing.
Because Xu Yong's current score is 69 points, one more point can raise this record to the level of 70+.
Xu Yong shook his head.
The score has been decided, and it doesn't make much sense for him to pursue that point, not to mention that he may be tortured repeatedly by someone with a heart, so there is no need for that.
A score of 69 sounds pretty good, and it's a very good pose.
And leaving a little opportunity for others is also leaving a little opportunity for yourself in the future.
