4 to 2, the Raptors eliminated the Heat after winning two games in a row and advanced to the divisional semifinals.

At this point, the first round of matches has all ended and the semi-final matchups have all been announced.

In the East, the Raptors will face the Bulls, while the Cavaliers will play a grudge match with the Pacers.

In the West, the Warriors faced the challenge of the Trail Blazers, who eliminated the Spurs 4-2 with Lillard's buzzer-beater, while the Mavericks once again met the Thunder. The two teams have almost become rivals in recent years.

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

This day happened to be the day before the Bulls' game, and the players returned to the locker room after finishing training.

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

His reaction immediately caused others in the locker room to shake their heads.

This guy was a bit reckless when MVP came out before, luckily Xu Yong was quick-witted and didn't expect him to come again.

"Nikola won the Rookie of the Year award?" Xu Yong asked with a smile.

Anderson scratched his head and shook it.

The other people in the locker room burst into laughter. Xu Yong was also using a joking way to remind Anderson of his recklessness.

"But he's fifth," he continued.

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

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

Jokic only entered the rotation after the All-Star Game, and finally ranked fifth. He is indeed gold. Even if you cover him with a cloth, his brilliance cannot be hidden.

Jokic also rubbed his hands happily at this time. It is a very happy thing to be recognized by others.

"Boss, you got the DPOY!" But at this moment, Anderson quickly and directly stated the key point.

Now everyone in the locker room turned to look at Xu Yong.

Best defensive player?

Xu Yong was stunned when he heard this.

This award came somewhat suddenly and was somewhat unexpected for him.

Is this a form of compensation from the league for the previous MVP selection results?

No, MVP is the greatest honor, and DPOY is the greatest honor for a defensive player. The selection of these awards is also very fierce, so it is unlikely that they will be used as compensation.

Then, thinking about it carefully, it seems that he really deserves the title this time.

There is some background here. The league's award selection is largely based on data, especially the best defensive player. Camby was called a "cheat player" because he won this award by inflating his data.

Looking at the data, Curry has been the steals leader 169 times this season, and Xu Yong has been the steals leader 167 times, which is only 2 times less than Curry, so they are actually about the same.

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

So even if we just look at the data, he is already a popular candidate.

Then let’s talk about impression points based on the data.

Here we have to highlight the [noble man] James. At the beginning of the season, he cooperated with Xu Yong to contribute a famous steal and slam dunk. In the second game, he was so defensively by Xu Yong that his mentality exploded and he lost control. This impression score was directly maxed out.

Then there was the first round, when he defended George so hard that he couldn't take care of himself, which was a huge shock to the judges.

Although this award is given for the regular season, humans are subjective creatures, and the award is given in the playoffs, so the influence of the playoffs is inevitable, especially the impression points brought about by the performance of this kind of game.

Once the others confirmed that Anderson was not teasing Xu Yong, the locker room suddenly fell into a frenzy.

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

And because of Xu Yong's "torture" over the past few days, the team members finally found an opportunity and swarmed over with mineral water bottles to give Xu Yong a bath in advance.

Lost MVP but gained DPOY, lost in the evening but gained in the evening.

…

Toronto.

Antetokounmpo jogged on the way to Scotiabank Arena, with maple leaves on both sides of the road bright red.

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

As the capital of the northern province of Canada in the United States, due to its northern location, even though it is spring in April, there is still a chilly feeling from the north wind.

But his face was still filled with a smile.

Maple trees are also a very common tree species in Greece, and the Greek golden maple is quite famous worldwide.

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

Just now, he sent all his salary for this month back home, because the team will provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, he does not need money here for the time being, and he has four brothers and sisters at home, and the household expenses are very high.

But after he sent it, he realized something very embarrassing: he forgot to keep the taxi fare back to the stadium.

Because the team was leaving for Chicago by plane in an hour, he had to get there immediately.

His team finally showed its strength after struggling for two years.

Their team's boss DeRozan finally grew into the King of the North, although he always felt that the opponent was too silent on and off the court and lacked leadership qualities.

In comparison, he prefers Kyle Lowry. Although Lowry is a small guard, he is very tough on the court and has a humorous way of speaking. He thinks Lowry is the real leader of the team.

And there is James Johnson, that guy is so scary and definitely someone he doesn't want to mess with.

In general, although this team has some shortcomings, the atmosphere within the team is very good and he believes that they can definitely achieve something this year.

“Drip! Drop!”

Just as he was running and daydreaming, he heard the sound of a car horn.

He slowed down and turned around, only to find a car following him.

"You are Giannis... Ade..." The other person rolled down the window. It was an old woman who looked at him trying hard to spell his name.

His name is pronounced in Greek and is too difficult for Americans to spell.

"Are you the Greek player from the Raptors?" The other party finally gave up spelling and asked in a different way.

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

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

"Arena, ma'am." He remained humble, knowing that when he was away from home, he represented not only himself but also his country.

"Why don't you take a taxi but run there?" the old woman looked puzzled.

"I... I'm exercising." He looked a little embarrassed. No one would want to reveal their embarrassment in front of strangers.

"Did you forget to bring money?" The old woman smiled kindly. She looked like a good person.

He scratched his head awkwardly and didn't nod, but he had already given his answer.

"I want to go there too. Why don't you take my car and come with me?" Just then, an old man's voice came from the passenger seat.

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

He was a little hesitant.

"Child, 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 troublesome." He waved his hand quickly, then leaned over and got into the car.

However, because he was too tall and the car was relatively small, he could only sit down by leaning sideways and tilting his head.

"Thank you." He did not forget to express his gratitude.

"I often watch your games on TV." After the car started, the old man in the passenger seat said with a smile, which explained why they recognized him.

"I'm honored." He was particularly happy because in the United States, you have to pay to watch NBA games, which is why the broadcasting contract can be sold at such a high price. It is indeed rare for someone to support the Raptors at such an old age.

"When I was young, I was a key player in our school team." The old man's face flushed as he began to recall the past.

"The basketball you played back then was different from the basketball we play now." The old woman must have heard too much of his nagging, so she quickly stopped him.

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

"I believe the Raptors can perform well this year. We're going to play against Chicago next?" The old man turned his head and his eyes met his.

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

The Raptors were only founded in 1995, and they perfectly caught up with Jordan's second three consecutive championships.

Which fan of that era had not experienced the fear of being dominated by Jordan?

"We will win," Antetokounmpo said 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's eyes that he was not optimistic about the team's advancement.

Yes, the fans back then were ruled by Jordan, and now aren’t they ruled by Xu Yong?

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the stadium. After he got out, he asked the old lady and the others to wait for him.

He quickly ran into the stadium, ran to the locker room, took out the game tickets from his closet, and then ran out quickly.

Every NBA player will get tickets from the team to a greater or lesser extent, and the number and location of tickets received will vary depending on the status of the team.

The ticket he turned out was the one with the closest position in his hand.

This scene made Powell, who was still packing up in the locker room, look like Nick Young with a question mark on his face.

He ran quickly back to where he had parked his car, but found from a distance that it was empty; the old woman and her companions had already driven away.

The reason why the couple didn't wait for him was probably because they thought he had gone back to get the money, and they just gave him a ride and didn't want to take his money, so they left early.

He frowned.

Originally, he thought that since the other party had never been to the stadium to watch the game, that would be the best gift he could give, but unfortunately he was not able to give it in the end.

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

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

But soon, his frown relaxed.

Although I failed to deliver the ticket to the other party, the old man said he would watch the game.

Well, a better gift than the tickets in 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 venue was packed with people, many with smiles on their faces, discussions going on, and signs and KT boards everywhere.

As the playoffs progressed, the atmosphere at the United Center became more and more intense.

After the fans finished warming up and before the opening ceremony, the DPOY award ceremony was held on site.

Xu Yong took the DPOY trophy from Tatum, and when he raised it high, the United Center was in an uproar.

Over the past 20 years, 90% of DPOY awards have been given to inside players, with Artest in the 2003-2004 season and Leonard last season being the only exceptions.

Therefore, for non-inside players, this award is even more difficult to obtain than the MVP.

To put it in the most intuitive words of the fans, even as good as Jordan was, he only won this award once in his entire career.

Xu Yong did not give any acceptance speech. After the cheers died down, he exchanged a few words with Tatum and then turned back to the team.

Generally speaking, the president should come in person to win an award like DPOY, but Silver did not come this time.

Although he doesn't know the specific reason, he still prefers to interact with Tatum. He doesn't know if it's because the other party has Chinese ancestry, but he always makes him feel a lot more familiar.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both teams were announced.

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

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

It is worth mentioning that Carroll, who was originally thought to be out for the season, recovered better than expected from his injury. He returned in Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs and helped the Raptors win two games in a row and advance to the semifinals. His role was obvious.

Generally, players need to adapt and find their form after returning to the game, but he is a 3D forward and he doesn't hold the ball, so he is plug-and-play.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Adams pushed the ball back to half court and the game between the two sides officially started.

Butler started with a pick-and-roll with Adams and broke through with the ball, then he sidestepped Valanciunas and made a low layup to give the Bulls the lead.

But the Raptors are not pushovers. DeRozan turned around and received a pass from Lowry and hit a mid-range jump shot to retaliate.

Looking back, Butler chose to take on DeRozan and scored another goal with a step-back jump shot.

DeRozan is good at offense, but his defensive habits are poor and his defensive IQ is not high. Overall, he is the type of player who is strong on offense but weak on defense.

When returning to the defensive end, Butler also obviously strengthened his defense on DeRozan.

DeRozan received the ball and was closely followed. After a strong attack, he turned around and shot, but the shot went wide.

It is not easy for Butler to defend against someone like George who is obviously much more talented, but the defensive effect against DeRozan is still very good.

Adams also suppressed Valanciunas under the basket and protected the defensive rebound.

The Bulls launched a defensive counterattack. Butler broke through in a fast break and attracted a double-team, then passed the ball to Xu Yong, who followed up with a one-handed dunk and scored.

After the dunk, Xu Yong turned around and high-fived Butler to celebrate.

A smile appeared on his face.

From the start to now, Butler's confidence and condition are obviously much better than during the regular season.

The benefits of letting him play more in the first round began to gradually emerge.

Thanks to his condition, after the two sides played for five minutes, the score was 12 to 5, and the Raptors were obviously suppressed.

During the Raptors' attack, DeRozan's shot after breaking through the basket was ruthlessly blocked by Xu Yong's assist defense, and he also took the rebound.

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

The score difference on the field was heading straight for double digits.

Raptors coach Dwane Casey called a timeout.

When they got to the bench, the Raptors players were obviously a little confused by the beating.

You can't say the Raptors are in bad shape, because what they bring out on both offense and defense is similar to when they played against the Heat before.

It’s just that the Bulls are still stronger than them even without Rose, and Butler was in such a good state at the beginning.

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

Looking at the emotions of his teammates, Antetokounmpo, who was determined to beat the Bulls, became a little anxious.

After Casey arranged the tactics, he stood up suddenly from the bench, holding a towel in one hand and a fist in the other, and yelled to his teammates, "Wake up! We have to fight! The game has just begun, we have to fight!"

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

His move surprised the Raptors players.

Because although Antetokounmpo has made rapid progress, his position in the team is at most similar to that of Valanciunas. Now the two backcourt stars didn't say anything, but he came up directly and was so excited.

However, the effect was obvious, and the Raptors players clearly came out of their confused state.

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

He had never noticed that Antetokounmpo had this temperament before, and he had the potential to become a team leader.

After the timeout, Lowry continued to hold the ball and organize the offense in the frontcourt. This time, Antetokounmpo did not stay where he was after screening DeRozan, but quickly cut into the basket, and pointed his hand directly to the sky while cutting in.

Lowry slung the ball into the air.

West saw this and jumped up to try to intercept.

But unfortunately, his jumping ability is indeed average, and Antetokounmpo jumps too high.

“Bang!”

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

There was a commotion at the scene.

When Antetokounmpo first entered the league, he was still a very thin guy. Although he has been a starter in the past two years, his tactical position is not high and he does not attract much attention.

It was after this dunk that they realized that Antetokounmpo had turned into a devilish muscular man. Coupled with his height, wingspan, running and jumping talents, it was obvious that he was a superstar in the making!

At this time, Xu Yong walked up to West and gave him a few instructions.

Butler continued to break through with the ball, but this time his layup after shaking off the defense was blocked by Antetokounmpo.

After completing the block, Antetokounmpo roared excitedly and turned around to bump chests with Lowry in celebration.

After the timeout, he showed a strong presence on both offense and defense, and the Raptors' momentum also increased.

At this moment, the Bulls sent a sideline ball, Xu Yong leaned against Carroll and reached out to catch the ball, then turned around and shot it after a confrontation.

This goal was very satisfying and immediately stabilized the morale of the team.

In the Raptors' offensive round, Antetokounmpo directly set a pick-and-roll for Lowry and then went down the court.

The Bulls did not make any substitutions, and West retreated inward in advance. Xu Yong had previously reminded him of the skills of defending Antetokounmpo, which was to let him shoot and prevent him from breaking through. At this time, Antetokounmpo basically had no ability to shoot.

Lowry reacted quickly enough. After seeing Della go around the screen, he shot a three-pointer directly from the outside.

"when!"

It was a good chance, but unfortunately I missed the shot.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced out, forming a long backboard.

A long arm caught the ball directly in the air. It was clearly Antetokounmpo again.

With a height of 2.13 meters and a wingspan of 2.24 meters, he looks like a Greek Freak on the court.

Moreover, his running and jumping abilities are indeed excellent. After grabbing the rebound, he quickly attacked the basket directly. West barely gave him a chance to confront him but was violently pushed away by him.

“Bang!”

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

West's ability has inevitably declined as he gets older, which can be seen from his declining statistics.

Moreover, compared with the statistics, the more obvious decline is in his defensive ability. The decline in speed makes it easy for him to lose his defensive position.

After completing the dunk, Antetokounmpo became more and more excited and shouted to the camera on the sidelines: "We can win!"

He was not only trying to boost the morale of the team, but was also shouting at the couple.

But he was a little too excited. After shouting, he turned around and didn't notice Xu Yong was next to him, so he bumped into Xu Yong.

This would have been nothing, as unexpected collisions are inevitable during competitions, but his subsequent actions were a bit suffocating.

Perhaps he was too excited, or perhaps he was just young and vigorous. When he saw it was Xu Yong, he didn't apologize. Instead, he raised his hands and made a "strong" gesture.

This scene happened to be captured by the photographer.

There was a sudden burst of booing at the scene.

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

DeRozan was not far away at this time, and when he saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

He was too familiar with Xu Yong. The expression on his face just now showed that Xu Yong was going to take ruthless action next.

Sure enough, Xu Yong started asking for the ball when he reached the three-point line in the frontcourt. After holding the ball, he directly signaled West to set up a high pick-and-roll. After he was mismatched against Antetokounmpo, he directly signaled to pull away.

Antetokounmpo seemed to have anticipated that his previous action would annoy Xu Yong, and he also took a defensive stance.

"They are afraid of you, but I am not!" After taking a defensive stance, he even trash-talked Xu Yong.

But before he could finish his words, Xu Yong had already changed direction, went left, and accelerated past him.

Completely different from the leisurely stroll shown in the previous rounds, Xu Yong at this moment gave people the feeling of a swift and fierce king of beasts.

Antetokounmpo reacted a little slow, but he relied on his physical talent to chase Xu Yong from behind, and seized the opportunity to block the shot.

But Xu Yong is not Butler. Before Antetokounmpo could block him, he dodged with a pull-up dunk in the air and slammed the ball into the basket.

“Bang!”

Antetokounmpo's block finally landed on his arm, and the referee's whistle sounded immediately, making it a 2+1.

The scene suddenly erupted in cheers.

When it comes to describing “fast”, the most extreme quantifier we can use is “seconds”, for example…

Xu Yong responded within seconds.

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

Antetokounmpo said calmly: "It was an accident."

Xu Yong smiled and shook his head when he heard this. When he got to the free throw line, he said to Antetokounmpo on the side: "Welcome to Chicago."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and shot the free throw.

“Swish!”

The basketball went into the net.

Antetokounmpo's face turned red instantly. This kind of hardcore pretense was too hurtful.

And when the offense and defense changed, he reached the frontcourt and found that his defender had changed from West to Xu Yong.

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

Theoretically, Antetokounmpo has advantages in height and wingspan. Just like Xu Yong is one size bigger than Kobe, Antetokounmpo is also one size bigger than Xu Yong.

But it was obvious that he had no other advantages except his size. He was far behind in both offensive skills and game experience. Even his most proud confrontation did not give him any advantage in front of Xu Yong.

The Raptors launched two attacks in this round, and he didn't get any chance to run without the ball.

Fortunately, DeRozan was strong at the critical moment and hit a difficult mid-range shot against Butler's defense.

11 to 19.

With an 8-point difference, the two sides were in a stalemate in the score.

In the Bulls' offense, Xu Yong continued to receive the ball at the three-point line in the frontcourt, and then called on West to pull to the high post for a pick-and-roll. After he was mismatched with Antetokounmpo, he signaled him to pull away.

Carroll wanted to come over to assist in defense, but was forced back by Xu Yong's one-handed pass.

And just after pulling the ball back, he made a lateral drag step followed by a vertical breakthrough, directly passing Antetokounmpo and breaking through from the right side.

Although Antetokounmpo has excellent running and jumping abilities, he is too big after all, and his speed is obviously not as fast as Xu Yong, especially after gaining muscle.

But he tried hard, and he had a reason to win tonight.

He twisted his body hard and used his long arms to grab the ball.

But the ball that was in his sight the moment before disappeared the next moment.

Xu Yong pulled the ball back while moving, directly pulling the ball from the right side to the left side.

Because Antetokounmpo exerted too much force and had no support for his hands, he was shaken and flew out.

Moreover, after shaking off Antetokounmpo, Xu Yong did not rush to shoot. He waited until Antetokounmpo stood up and wanted to pounce on him again before he completed the shot and made a steady hit.

The scene exploded instantly.

Xu Yong's shot was heart-breaking and 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 red: "I know, the ground is slippery."

How thoughtful he is. This time, Antetokounmpo didn't even need to make excuses himself, as he had prepared it for him in advance.

Antetokounmpo's breathing quickened, and at this moment, it was like a boiling teapot, with smoke humming out of his head.

"Defend! Defend!"

The fans began to cheer deafeningly at the scene, and Xu Yong's consecutive scores had brought the atmosphere at the United Center to its peak.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Bulls' defense obviously intensified, and DeRozan's shot this time failed to hit the target.

Antetokounmpo seized the opportunity to grab the frontcourt rebound and was about to score his second goal.

But this time, before his hand touched the ball, Xu Yong jumped up from the other side and snatched the ball away before he could catch it.

Although he does not have an advantage in height and wingspan, Xu Yong is not inferior to anyone in terms of shooting speed.

Moreover, after grabbing the rebound, Xu Yong did not rush to launch a fast break, but instead dribbled the ball forward by himself.

Then, he signaled West to set a screen for him again.

The game hadn't even started yet, but the United Center was already boiling with excitement, and a large number of fans stood up, unable to contain their excitement.

Nothing happens more than three times, but this is the third consecutive round that Xu Yong has played one-on-one against Antetokounmpo!

If young people are not full of vigor and vitality, they can be called young people. However, there is a price to pay for being full of vigor and vitality.

This time, the other players 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, so he just used his explosive power to break through.

Antetokounmpo quickly retreated to the inside, and although his speed was a bit slow, he was tall and strong, so he naturally took big steps.

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

He didn't change his rhythm, nor did he use any basketball skills, he just jumped.

Violent insertion, frontal force.

Antetokounmpo was instantly excited.

Xu Yong's offensive skills are so good. This Greek freak has a lot of talent but can't find the angle to output. However, he really likes this kind of head-on confrontation.

He has a complete advantage in height and wingspan, and is also strong in confrontation. This ball can definitely hit Xu Yong in the face.

He had a good idea, but there was a deviation between reality and rationality because Xu Yong's bullet speed was too fast.

He had just jumped up when Xu Yongren was already mid-air.

He reached out to block the shot, but Xu Yong had already started to slam the ball into the basket.

“Bang!”

Amid the stunned looks of the fans at the scene, Xu Yong dunked over Antetokounmpo in the air and slammed the ball into the basket with one hand like a blockbuster bomb.

The basket shook violently.

There was silence at the United Center for a moment, but then it erupted into deafening cheers.

This ball is so explosive!

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

"Maybe this dunk will make the Greek realize how irrational his previous actions were." Thunder Miller added.

The words that Casey wanted to call for a timeout were on the tip of his tongue, but he suppressed them.

Antetokounmpo showed rare leadership qualities. If he was replaced at this time, it would be a huge blow to his confidence.

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

But just when he was about to hit the backboard, a figure rushed out from the side and snatched the ball away!

After landing, Xu Yong made a move that Chicago fans are very familiar with. He held the ball in his right hand, and the index and middle fingers of his left hand first pointed to his eyes, and then turned to point to Antetokounmpo in front of him.

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

Some fans at the scene had already started holding their heads. They realized tonight how terrifying Xu Yong could be when he was really angry.

After Xu Yong advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, as expected, he asked West to continue the pick-and-roll and send Antetokounmpo to him.

Antetokounmpo's eyes at this moment were obviously not as firm as before, because no one could withstand Xu Yong's continuous attacks.

What's even worse is that he now doesn't know how to defend Xu Yong. Xu Yong's breakthrough is too fast and he doesn't dare to press too far forward.

But Xu Yong didn't give him much time to think, and after sinking, he took a falling step.

Antetokounmpo took a big step back, so much so that he didn't even realize that Xu Yong had completely caught the ball while falling.

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

Although he tried his best to rush forward, Xu Yong calmly completed a three-point shot in front of him.

“Swish!”

A crisp sound of entering the net was heard.

When you thought that the situation would end after three times, Xu Yong scored in the fourth consecutive round against Antetokounmpo.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that there will be a fifth, a sixth, and more than seven...

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

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

11 to 26.

In just a few rounds, the score difference has reached 15 points!

He couldn't help but look at Antetokounmpo.

Originally, the Raptors were only at a slight disadvantage at the start, but now that the Bulls are without Rose and their substitutes are not as strong, they had a chance to make up for the disadvantage, but now, they are on the verge of losing by 20 points in a single quarter.

Why did you bother to provoke Xu Yong when you had nothing to do?
