no shortcuts in basketball

The reporters were dumbfounded.

This deja vu scene made them press the shutter subconsciously, and then felt a bit dark and refreshed after being slapped in the face.

What the hell is this!

But when they thought about it, the photos they took would become excellent news materials after the game, and they were all relieved in an instant.

As a reporter, the most important thing is not how good you can speak, but how thick your skin is.

Ross couldn't help laughing in the audience at this time.

Xu Yong's shooting ability, and the key is that he can play both with and without the ball. Isn't this his favorite backcourt partner?

Here I have to mention Salmons, the main shooting guard of the Bulls last season, and the original owner of Xu Yong's pit.

Salmons' personal scoring ability is not weak at all, especially last season, he averaged 41.5 three-pointers per game with a shooting rate of 2%, which is definitely an elite level in the NBA at this time.

And his defense does not lag behind, above the league average.

This is also the key to the Bulls being able to trade the Wizards' No. [-] pick with him and Thomas as the main body.

However, Salmons has a characteristic. He plays more independently and often ignores his teammates.

This characteristic makes him very suitable as a sixth man to grab points, but it is not suitable to start with Rose.

That's why Foreman was willing to send him away.

Back from the timeout, Arthur hit a mid-range shot from the free throw line on the Grizzlies side, and finally continued to score.

However, their own scoring continued to increase, but they still couldn't limit Xu Yong's scoring well.

First, if we really want to get to the bottom of it, Xu Yong's current ability without the ball is stronger than his ability to hold the ball;

The second is more important, Xu Yong's touch in the first half was too good.

In the first half, the Bulls let Xu Yong play, and Xu Yong really smashed the Grizzlies.

At halftime, the Bulls had a 50-34 lead over the Grizzlies by 16 points.

Xu Yong scored 25 points alone, and with 2 more points, it would be the same score as Griffin's first show.

This time, the social media is full of excitement.

"We were all wrong? I was on the scene of the game. Xu not only has strong scoring ability, but also is really entertaining."

"Brother, he just had a good touch in the first half. Any player in the summer league can score so many points when he feels good."

"But not all of his scoring is shooting!"

"Brother, you don't understand the ball when you see it. He feels good. Does the opponent dare to let him shoot? Of course he is easy to break through if he is on the front line!"

"That's right, everyone has games with good touch. This half of the game should not be counted. When he feels cold in the second half, you will know how wet he is."

"But……"

"No, but brother, although I didn't go to the game, you must trust my instinct."

"That's right, although I didn't go to the scene or watch the live broadcast, I know he's definitely not good."

……

Back from the halftime break, Xu Yong and Rose had a conversation on the sidelines.

Ross was sharing with him some life experiences in Chicago.

Such as tourist attractions, specialty snacks, shopping locations, traffic jam time, and even gangster areas.

Xu Yong could not know these things during the time he spent in Chicago.

Obviously, Rose is helping Xu Yong adapt to the new city as soon as possible, or in other words, he can't wait to play with Xu Yong.

Xu Yong also tried his best to show his conversation, chatting and laughing with Ross.

He is the kind of person who thinks about it and will do it. At the draft meeting, he realized that he could learn from Ross and not slow down. Now it is natural to build a good relationship with Rose. You must know that the Bulls do not have Yao Ming to help him.

After a brief contact, Rose was shy and kind, which made him feel that he was not far from his goal.

The second half of the game started immediately, and Xu Yong also returned to the court.

The starting lineups for both teams were the same as they were in the first half.

In the first attack that came up, Xu Yong was still the main attack.

I said to let Xu Yong let go of the swing, how could it be possible to only swing for half the time?

However, Xu Yong missed his first shot in the second half.

The chances, and even the rhythm of the shots were the same as in the first half, but the ball just missed.

That is to say, after the ball was thrown, Xu Yong knew that his hand felt cold.

This is normal, just like the University of North Carolina in the NCAA finals, three-pointers were allowed in the first half, but not in the second half.

It is a small probability event to continue to feel overwhelming.

So Xu Yong was also very calm.

Of course, the reporters on the sidelines were eager to try again.

If Xu Yong pulls in the second half, then their news materials can be upgraded again.

For example, "Xu Yong imitated Jordan and stretched his hands, but in the end it was just an imitation", or "Painting a tiger is not a dog, Xu Yong will end up as a parallel import if he loses his touch".

"boom!"

But they were still thinking about it, Xu Yong jumped up and gave Thabeet a big hat.

Because Xu Yong performed so well in the first half that everyone almost forgot about Thabeet.

这位赛前被认为今晚会在徐永身上找回场子的五号秀，上半场4投1中只贡献了2分3板4犯规，连他最擅长的盖帽都没捞着一个。

But he smiled slightly, and the head coach designed tactics for him as soon as he came up in the second half.

The reason is very simple. The Grizzlies draft trade is recognized by the fans as an S-level operation. If Thabeet is so watery, he is simply slapping the management in the face.

As a result, as soon as this came up, Thabeet was capped.

Xu Yong also wondered after finishing his cap. It stands to reason that it has been almost three months since the championship. Has Thabeet really made no progress at all?

Of course, wondering and wondering, Xu Yong didn't intend to show mercy.

Although he is not a person who cares about everything, he was still very impressed when Thabeet bumped into him in the draft.

Moreover, it is difficult for Thabeet to get playing time in the official game, and it is also difficult for him to meet the opponent on the court.

So tonight is just right for a gentleman to take revenge.

The Grizzlies' frontcourt ball was sent out, still playing Thabeet's tactic.

Then, Thabeet was hated by Xu Yong again!

If it is a coincidence that Xu Yong hated the previous ball, but this ball Xu Yong aimed at him.

Then he found that Thabeet's speed and technique were really amazing, just like a cap-blocking machine.

And after he capped the ball, he also took the rebound.

Fortunately, the rest of the Grizzlies also seemed to understand Thabeet's level, and retreated early, not giving the Bulls a chance to directly make a fast break.

The two sides fell into a positional battle.

Xu Yong knew that he felt cold and didn't ask for the ball, so he signaled Johnson and the others to play.

However, the Bulls' lineup of three rookies plus a meat shield center, plus a lineup of all men, is really not easy to play against the long lineup of the Grizzlies.

The ball went around and around, and finally reached Xu Yong's hands, and there was not much time left for the attack.

Xu Yong didn't hesitate when he received the ball, and went to the inside after a change of direction.

Yang couldn't keep up with Xu Yong's speed, but Thabeet on the inside retreated to the basket early this time.

Charlie has no shooting ability, and his choice is also very wise.

But soon, he regretted it a little.

Because when Xu Yong was one step away from him, he immediately flew into the air.

For a moment, two thoughts flashed through Thabeet's mind: what is he going to do?He wouldn't want to block me, would he? !

This is different from the division finals, when Xu Yong was dunking from the side after all; and it is also different from the ball he did not dare to defend just now, and he was a little bit behind that ball.

But now he has stood firm on the ball, so Xu Yong will come forward like this?

Then, he made a choice. He stood outside the reasonable collision zone, crossed his hands in front of his crotch, and prepared to make Xu Yong an offensive foul.

Obviously, this is his heartfelt choice.

Seeing this, Xu Yong not only did not dodge, but continued to climb up, pulled the ball up with his right hand, and flew towards the basket with his left hand pressing Thabeet.

This choice shocked the reporters on the sidelines and nearly dropped their cameras on the ground.

However, more exaggerated pictures continue.

Thabeet was originally for fouling, and the crotch protection with both hands is useless.

As a result, when Xu Yong's powerful impact came, he couldn't bear it, and was afraid of falling to the ground and being injured, so he instinctively shrank his head sideways.

That is, Xu Yong successfully completed the leap to Thabeet.

Countless fans at the scene had their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open.

"Oh!"

After Xu Yong flew over Thabeet, he successfully smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

The scene directly burst into overwhelming cheers.

Countless fans stood up from their seats, even jumped up.

Unbelievable, Xu Yong is not a button, but a flying button!And the object of the leap is Thabeet who is 2 meters 21!

You must know that the French center Weiss, who Carter leaped in the Olympics, was only 2 meters.

Crazy, this group of fans who were just watching Xu Yong's jokes have gone crazy.

They would never have imagined that a small summer league would give birth to a slam dunk that would go down in history!

The cheers spread like boiling sea water.

After landing, Xu Yong raised his hands and let out a roar, then turned around and had a passionate chest bump with Johnson, who was also roaring.

Cool, really cool!

The moment he dunked the ball in, he felt like he was floating!

To be honest, he didn't expect that he could really succeed, because with Thabeet's physical condition, if he stretched out his hand, he would not be able to fly at that height.

But, but!

Thabeet is just a coward, he just wants to make a foul.

No, he didn't just want to make a foul, but he didn't dare to, and then hid.

This directly lowered the height that Xu Yong needed to leap to a higher level.

However, whether it is the result or the visual impact, Xu Yong is Thabeet who has leaped 2 meters.

Because there are so many things to worry about, Carter Feiweis didn't really fly back then.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!" The on-site commentator recovered from the shock and exclaimed again and again.

Immediately afterwards, he sighed again: "This is why Xu is the second place!"

After Xu Yong completed the astonishing dunk just now, no one believed that Thabeet could complete the so-called revenge, or that Xu Yong snatched Thabitt's second place.

Because this dunk is the final judgment.
