Xu Yong didn't know what happened next, because after seeing Green coming to help defend, he directly raised the ball and then smashed the ball into the basket through Green.
He resolutely implemented his idea of opening the game. There was a problem with the Kings' basket, and he was determined not to take it if he could dunk it.
I just pity Green. This player who, like Xu Yong, scored 40+ points in the summer league, averaged 25.3 points per game, shined, and became the core bargaining chip of the Rockets' Artest trade. Tonight The living thing becomes a golden background.
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 even more.
Compared with other people who ask their teammates to switch defenses when they encounter a strong opponent, Evans's courage to face his opponent directly is worthy of recognition.
And just like Brandon Knight dared to block Jordan, Evans also tried his best on the defensive end.
"Tell me, who's the big winner?!"
Of course, Xu Yong was the only one who was calm.
After Xu Yong ended Evans' ankle, took down Evans' knee, and completed the dunk on Green, Barkley climaxed directly in the commentary box.
Also climaxing were the fans who supported Xu Yong at the scene, as well as those fans on the other side of the ocean who were waiting in front of the TV or computer.
Really, it’s so explosive!
This is completely different from Yao Ming's feeling.
Yao Ming showed dominance, but Xu Yong now shows visual impact.
It turns out that we Chinese players can also play with and even ravage these old gangsters like this!
The game on the court continues, and Evans is still playing singles with the ball.
However, only three things can happen, this should be his last chance to start the game.
Xu Yong's strategy was still to let go, and Evans chose to break through to the free throw line and make a pull-up jump shot.
This is not the way he is good at scoring, but compared to a head-on confrontation with Xu Yong, this is obviously a better opportunity.
The basketball draws a straight parabola in the air.
"Dang!"
It hit the front of the basket without any suspense.
Xu Yong turned around and grabbed the defensive rebound, then took the ball and went forward for a fast break.
After seeing this, Evans quickly pressed forward and tried to steal, but Xu Yong directly changed direction and avoided slowing down.
And after he crossed Evans, his eyes were as empty as the main road in the early morning.
He rushed to the frontcourt at full speed, looked back and glanced at the Kings players who had given up on defense. The video incident flashed through his mind, and he was full of desire to perform.
He began to slow down, as if he was not on the court but in a dunk contest.
After reaching the free throw line, he threw the ball directly to the basket, and then took a step too late to take off into the air.
After the basketball bounced off the backboard, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his crotch.
There was already a commotion at the scene.
And when he changed the ball from his crotch to his other hand and then pulled it up and smashed it into the basket, accompanied by a dull sound from the loudspeaker, the cheers on the scene could no longer be stopped.
Not only the fans who came to support Xu Yong, but also some Sacramento fans couldn't help but cheer.
This guy really treats this place as a dunk contest venue!
At this time, no one in the stands noticed that Petrie's haggard face suddenly showed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, he was not the one who made the mistake.
Xu Yong's dunk turned the momentum of the game completely towards the Bulls.
The Bulls also got more and more courageous as they played, posting a huge 38-19 points difference at the basket in a single quarter.
Xu Yong even scored 16 points in a single quarter, almost defeating all the Kings fans at the scene.
Moreover, the Kings were in no shape at the beginning of the second quarter. On the other hand, the Bulls' Will Bynum broke out again, making sudden shots and directly opened the point difference to 35 points.
This immediately silenced the Arco Arena, and many fans at the scene had already begun to leave.
However, the Kings bottomed out in the second half of the second quarter and played well. At halftime, they trailed the Bulls by 24 points, 43-67.
There was actually not much suspense about the outcome. After three quarters of struggle, the score difference between the two sides was 90 to 70. The last quarter was pure garbage time.
After three quarters, Xu Yong scored 34 points on 13 of 20 shots, while Evans only scored 14 points on 4 of 15 shots.
This contrast cannot be said to be very strong, it can only be said to be a world of difference.
In the garbage time of the last quarter, both sides sent out all their substitutes. Denagro was also possessed by Phil Jackson and entered the offline mode.
But at this time, the situation on the court suddenly changed. The Kings’ substitutes, Amy Uduka (yes, the one you know), Benno Udrih, Sergio Rodriguez The inside and outside lines fired one after another, and the score difference continued to narrow.
And Kings head coach Paul Westphal also substituted Evans on the court when he saw the opportunity.
Evans, who had been holding back for a whole game, finally found an output angle. Facing Bynum's various strong attacks, he scored 9 points in a row, narrowing the point difference to single digits in one breath.
It was only then that Denagro came back online, called a timeout and replaced all the main players.
However, after sitting off the court for a long time, both Rose and Deng felt average. After the two missed shots one after another, the Kings actually closed the point difference to less than 5 points in one breath.
At this time, the fans who were still at the scene were so excited. They felt like they were about to witness history just like those who stayed to watch McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes.
"Dang!"
Gibson's mid-range shot still failed, and the Kings' basket was leaking milk crazily at the critical moment.
Hawes stretched out his hand to collect the rebound.
But at this moment, a figure flew directly over everyone's heads.
Hawes felt himself being pushed out before he even touched the ball.
"Bang!"
Xu Yong completed the make-up dunk directly across Hawes!
He roared angrily, then turned around and shouted to his teammates: "Rebound, defend!"
Just like he did in the NCAA.
Tonight, he not only scored points, but also showed his true qualities as a leader.
Moreover, after returning to the defensive end, he defended Evans one-on-one and aimed at the opportunity and directly gave Evans a parking fee block.
This offense and defense helped the Bulls quickly stabilize their position.
The score on the court was finally settled at 106 to 102. 【Note 11】
The Bulls narrowly won the game and avoided being nailed to the pillar of shame.
Statistics after the game showed that for the Kings, Uduka had 17 points, Udrih had 16 points, Kevin Martin had 14 points, Rodriguez had 10 points, and Evans scored 9 points in the last quarter. He made 8 of 19 shots from the field and scored 23 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
If you don't say why the data is deceiving, just looking at the data, you will think that Evans performed well tonight, but as long as you watch the game, you will never say such a thing.
For the Bulls, 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 made 16 of 24 shots from the field and scored 40 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists!
This not only set a new high in his career again, but also scored the first 40 points in his career!
And it is worth mentioning that among Xu Yongjin's 16 goals, as many as 11 were dunks.
In other words, the Sacramento basket was knocked out 11 times by Xu Yong tonight, and the basket was really crooked.
With such a performance, Xu Yong was caught by reporters on the sidelines for an interview after the game.
After getting high scores, Xu Yong didn't seem to be in a good mood.
After all, they led by 35 points at most, but still won so thrillingly in the end. The Bulls exposed many problems tonight.
The reporter came from ESPN and started asking some common questions.
But when Xu Yong's crotch-changing slam dunk was mentioned, which was obviously a performance, the direction of the question began to go a bit wrong.
"Are you ready to participate in the dunk contest?" the reporter asked expectantly.
Xu Yong did not expect reporters to ask this question. Although he and DeRozan had already discussed participating in the dunk contest together, it was not yet time to make it public.
"It's possible." So he gave an uncertain answer.
The reporter was excited when he heard that and immediately asked: "If you participate, will you worry that LeBron will also participate?"
Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but frown.
You forced yourself on James during the interview. Why does this feel so familiar?
"What's your name?" Xu Yong did not 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 the name in his mind, and soon remembered who this was.
Isn't this James's royal reporter?
Because he had seen it so many times in his previous life, it was hard for him not to be impressed by this name.
Moreover, the angle of this question is very tricky. If you answer that you are worried, it seems that you have no confidence in yourself. If you are not worried, you seem to be very conceited.
"I don't care." Xu Yong's answer stunned Windhorst.
"Do you think James will not participate in the dunk contest?" After gathering his emotions, Windhorst continued to ask.
Xu Yong was speechless when asked, did he think there was any difference?
He would like James to participate, but he is not James' old father. Can James still listen to him?
"I don't care." After putting away his smile, Xu Yong repeated his previous answer and gave Windhorst a look. He was not in a good mood tonight and would avoid him if asked again.
"You really don't care? That's LeBron!" Windhorst asked.
Xu Yong looked at Windhorst as if he were a fool, and then replied angrily: "You said the slam dunk contest, then why should I care about a guy who has been dunked by me?"
Then, in Windhorst's stunned eyes, Xu Yong turned around and left.
