Perhaps it was because his face was dark.
Ewing's hand feeling tonight was surprisingly bad. In the following game, he missed all kinds of jump shots and even missed his attacks under the basket. Perhaps it was because he was too ruthless during the break, his condition did not return, and his performance in the first quarter was very poor.
In the second quarter, he realized that he might not be able to do it tonight. He began to distribute the ball to Oakley, the middle-aged woman, and Yang Ming to let his teammates participate in the attack.
The first two had their own achievements and both had good efficiency, and Yang Ming was even more efficient.
His hard training in the summer had paid off, and his form had continued until now. He played very efficiently in the first quarter, hitting 6 of 8 shots and even scored a three-pointer on Ray Allen's head, scoring 15 points.
Because of his teammates 'excellent performance, Ewing could see that his team could temporarily lead the Bucks by 10 points.
Ray Allen was in a hurry to challenge Yang Ming. His mentality was a little unbalanced. He only received the ball and attacked, but most of them returned without success. Yang Ming guarded him tightly and it was difficult for him to perform.
Van Gundy was very interested in Yang Ming's sudden improvement on the defensive end.
"How hard is Xia Tian working? Even the criticized defense had improved so much?”
"I'm not sure. We haven't been observing.”Don Cheney smiled and said,""He has indeed improved a lot."
Van Gundy nodded seriously and looked at Yang Ming with a curious gaze.
The other party would give him a surprise every once in a while, and his improvement was shocking. This was completely what he wanted.
Originally, he had thought that rashly bringing the other party into the starting lineup would be the team's defensive weakness, and the others might have to help clean up the mess.
Now, it seemed that not only did he not need to use it, but the other party could also complete it very well.
This was a good sign. Van Gundy was finally relieved after this observation.
After the second quarter, Yang Ming and You Yin muttered for a while and suddenly took over the ball.
Looking at him holding the ball on the outside line, Ewing felt comforted.
This kid really had guts. He actually dared to ask to take over the right to attack. Were all rookies these days so temperamental?
No matter what, he was still happy to fulfill his wish.
He thought that he was already over 34 years old and was beginning to walk down the peak. At this time, it was best for a young man to take over.
Oakley and the middle-aged woman were also surprised. Yang Ming's initiative to seize the ball seemed to be a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. He did not care about the feelings of the elderly.
However, he did not say anything. Instead, he suddenly felt that it was only natural.
In terms of scoring ability, they really couldn't compare to the other party.
Ray Allen looked very serious. Yang Ming was holding the ball in front of him. He looked past him and looked at the inside line. He did not dare to be careless.
A guy who could score more than 100 points in a single game in the summer league, who dared to take him lightly?
Unfortunately, even if he paid close attention to Yang Ming's actions, he was still ignored. As soon as the basketball landed on the ground, Yang Ming immediately started to move and quickly rushed to the inside. That first step made Ray Allen fall behind by one body.
When the latter wanted to chase and defend, he was blocked by the middle-aged woman who cut in horizontally. He could only watch helplessly as Yang Ming rushed to the basket. While Wen Beck was defending, he gave the ball to Oakley.
Oakley was now facing a two-meter wide gap. He immediately received the ball with overwhelming strength and flew to slam dunk.
After landing, he gave Yang Ming a thumbs up and praised him angrily,""Not bad, kid! I like this kind of passing very much!"
He was originally a rough man. Other than a good shot, he could not take the initiative to attack with the ball. Because of this, he was traded by the Bulls and missed the chance to win three consecutive championships with Jordan.
He loved having his teammates feed him pancakes like this. To him, it was like eating ice cream in the summer. It was very satisfying.
Van Gundy frowned on the sidelines.
Yang Ming's pass was not bad. It was precise and timely, but it was rare for him to pass the ball. In Van Gundy's knowledge, Yang Ming would choose to score on his own the first time he held the ball. This was the case throughout the summer league, with few passes.
Looking at it now, not only did the other party share the ball, but they also passed it well.
This was a pleasant surprise.
"Kid, why didn't you pass it to me? Can't you see that I have more time than him?”
When the auntie returned to defend herself, she bared her teeth at Yang Ming.
"Is that so? I didn't see it."
Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders, looking as if he could do nothing to him.
"Humph!"
The auntie glared at him and left proudly.
Actually, he didn't really have any objections. He just wanted to show his presence.
He had just arrived, and compared to the others, he had the best relationship with Yang Ming, so he liked to tease the latter.
In the next round, Yang Ming once again held the ball and attacked the paint. Ray Allen followed closely until he reached the basket. Seeing his opponent jump up and was about to shoot at the basket, Ray Allen quickly jumped up to intercept.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming faked a pass and passed the ball to Ewing, who had already rushed in to grab the rebound. The latter subconsciously received the ball and was a little stunned. He did not expect Yang Ming to pass the ball to him. However, he quickly reacted and shot the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Another good shot!"
On the sidelines, Don Cheney was extremely excited. The little guy who loved to score actually sent out two wonderful passes in a row, which surprised him greatly.
"I was wrong. He has the ability to organize.”
"No, Dunn, it's just distributing the ball. It wasn't related to his organizational skills.”Van Gundy was actually very happy, but he still strictly corrected his assistant's words.
He was right, knowing how to pass the ball was not the same as organizing the ball.
The organization would take the initiative to mobilize their teammates, walk to the desired position, and participate in the attack. This was subjective initiative.
However, Yang Ming was just simply distributing the ball. His teammates took the initiative to run, and he only needed to pass the ball over. He did not take the initiative to mobilize his teammates. This was not an organization.
The match continued.
After Yang Ming sent out consecutive assists, he suddenly shot himself in the third round, catching Ray Allen off guard. He could only look back at the basketball that flew out of the three-point line. It drew an arc and then fell into the net, creating beautiful waves.
Immediately after, Yang Ming suddenly faked a shot. After shaking off Ray Allen, he directly shot and took a step inside the three-point line to score the ball.
Was this guy trying to trick me with the pass earlier?
Ray Allen turned around in frustration and stared at Yang Ming.
He was completely fooled by the opponent's previous passes. Those passes were just for the sake of scoring better.
Despite this awareness, he was still deceived in the following game time. Yang Ming's sudden, throwing, and passing attacks were extremely confusing, making it impossible for him to guard against them.
At the end of the half, he personally gave the opponent 16 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.
When he returned to the field, he was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.
What made him even more unhappy was that when he wanted to take revenge in the second half, he was shocked to find that Yang Ming did not return at all in the second half. Van Gundy had pressed the other side on the bench in order to train.
He was very angry, but soon he was discouraged.
If they couldn't suppress the opponent in the first half, what could they do in the second half?
(No one else? Reward!)
