Chapter 61 The Lion Fights the Rabbit

The three consecutive away games in the preseason were not awesome, but no one liked failure. Perhaps it was too much, and the proud Clippers quickly tasted the pain. After returning to home on the 19th, they made them realize the situation. Although the team scored 7 players in double digits, they still gained a bitter defeat and lost 89:93.

In this game, Sun Yang and Byron Davis were still watching from the wall, wearing straight suits and sitting on the bench with a very stylish look. Thanks to Stern's mandatory policy, otherwise they would dare to wear any kind of clothes.

In the Raptors, Dragon King Bosh scored 26 points and 11 rebounds and easily scored double-double, Jermaine O'Neal scored 20 points and 9 rebounds and double-double, Toronto controlled the basket. The Clippers relied on their multi-point bloom and home court advantage to fight against it. Ricky Davis scored 14 points and the team's highest score, Al Thorton scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and Carman scored 10 points and 7 rebounds. The two teams failed to widen the gap most of the time. From the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Raptors played a small high of 11:4. The climax established a double-digit lead with 79:68. The Raptors were once led by 13 points, but the Clippers fought to the death in the last few minutes. With 43 seconds left in the game, Taylor made consecutive three-pointers, and the Clippers were only 5 points behind with 86:91.

The Clippers' victory was only a glimmer of hope, but unfortunately Taylor failed to hit the three-point line again. The Raptors Ukic made both free throws with 9.5 seconds left in the game, and the Raptors led by 7 points. Although Novak scored three-pointers since then, it was difficult to turn the tide and had to swallow a bitter fruit.

At the post-match press conference, Old Dunleavy did not get angry or blame the players, but just smiled and said that failure was a success. At this time, it would be better to be stunned by a bucket of cold water in the regular season or the playoffs.

—————————————————

The fifth game against the Phoenix Suns was a hot topic of the day. Sun Yang and Byron Davis both returned, and Stoudemire, on the Suns, he had just returned from injury. There were old fairies such as O'Neal and Nash in the team. It can be said that Mars collided with the earth.

The Suns played smoothly at the beginning, and the Clippers became more restrained and quiet after suffering the defeat, but this does not mean that they have no vitality and impact. Taylor was a treasure discovered in the preseason. He not only shot well but also played against the wind and had a good mentality. On the other hand, Sun Yang, the No. 7 pick, did not show his strength and uniqueness too much.

After six minutes of regular timeouts, Dunleavy replaced the second lineup, and all three rookies appeared, DeAndre Jordan + Sun Young + Taylor. It was paired with Paul Davis and Al Thorton.

On the other hand, the Suns had a complete set of starters, Boris Dior, Alando Tucker, Robin Lopez, Dragic and Barbosa.

The Suns have the ball rights, and both of them are international players on the back line, point guard Dragic comes from Yugoslavia, while the shooting guard is Barbosa, known as the "Brazil Lightning".

Sun Yang followed Dragic without any rush. Although he had a week off, his competitive state reached the best. He was extremely eager to liberate himself, but he was depressed. This is the same as the lion rushing to the rabbit.

Barbosa took the initiative to step forward to cover. Dragic opened the space and pretended to jump shot at the free throw line to attract the defense and then passed the ball to Dior in the right corner. The latter made an open three-pointer, and the offense was that simple.

Until now, the Suns led by 5 points at 30:25, without any pain. Sun Yang took Taylor's serve and drove forward, finding the rhythm first, without panic. Barbosa frowned at his crappy dribble. When he returned to defense, he wanted to sneak attack and steal, but almost fell down by Sun Yang, and lost all his face.

Sun Yang's continuous dribbling under his crotch made Dragic unable to figure out his mind and did not rush forward to steal. Sun Yang suddenly lowered his body and grabbed the ball in his abdomen with both hands. Dragic hurriedly took a step forward, which was a sign of a jump shot. However, Sun Yang pushed the ball directly and headed straight to the ring. When everyone was confused, DeAndre Jordan rushed straight to the basket from the weak side and rose from the ground.

Jordan was 2 meters tall and eleven. When he soared into the air, his head almost hit the bottom edge of the rebound. With a clang, an all-connect dunk was created. In the summer draft, Jordan's prediction was in the lottery zone. He had all the physical conditions and explosive power that the center dreamed of, but he did not expect to fall to fifth place in the second round. Putting aside those external things, his basic skills are indeed very bad, he is powerful enough, but he still needs to be tempered on a higher stage. Jordan's template is Lakers' little shark Bynum, but to be honest, the two have different styles, and Jordan prefers the impact in sports wars.

The two players quickly returned to defense after hitting the palm, and the Suns' counterattack speed was at the forefront of the league. This time they chose to take the ball from the outside. Barbosa ran and turned around and shot, hit a three-pointer.

The score became a gap of 33:27 and 6 points, and there were only 4 minutes left before the end of the first quarter. Can it be recovered? Sun Yang, who was in possession of the ball, was upset in his heart.

This time he did not do his own bait. He stopped suddenly and changed direction and rushed straight to the basket with his left hand pulling ball into the ball, and he rushed forward and went smoothly.

In addition to three-pointers, Sun Yang has been practicing his left hand very frequently recently, and it is not much different from his usual hands. It is also a powerful tool!

Dragic was closely linked by Sun Yang in the frontcourt and had no choice but to pass the ball. Barbosa made a move directly, but unfortunately this time it did not continue the good feel of the previous one, and it was smashed.

The rebound was taken off by Jordan, and Sun Yang was already shaking away and running wildly. Jordan threw it back and threw it away and happened to be in front of Sun Yang. At this time, Barbosa was the only one beside him.

Sun Yang grabbed the ball and accelerated and pulled half of his position. When Barbosa came to chase the mountain, he made a layup three steps slowly and easily scored. At this point, his data had become 4 points and 1 assist, and he had just played for two minutes.

Barbosa's defense could not stop Sun Yang from suppressing his offense, so he hooked his hand and signaled to fight alone. The others were not surprised and laughed and cooperated to open the inside. His height was only 191 cm, only 4 cm taller than Sun Yang, and his weight was lighter than Sun Yang. If you say that a single was a bit barely.

He slapped the ball without any haste. Barbosa suddenly accelerated and Sun Yang quickly put it on. The latter was a little confused by a powerful force and quickly took a step out and jumped quickly, almost helping Sun Yang to get a block.

The basketball jumped on the ring but didn't go in. Barbosa was about to vomit blood. Jordan picked another rebound and passed it habitually to Sun Yang. The latter broke through the cross-strike between Barbosa and Dragic and stumbled into the frontcourt. The three-point line moved slowly and kicked his legs and threw himself in the air. The right hand could not standardize three 90 degrees and pushed the ball out. The emergency stop of three points was also one of his ultimate moves.

(The second update is given, don’t forget to recommend votes and collections, I will continue to code. I can update the crazy chapters of the 10,000 words in a day, and I will vomit blood in five chapters. Watch Xiaoyao work hard, please help me!)
