In the last two minutes of the second quarter, Ross made a layup and caused a foul by David Lee.
At this moment, Yang Xu came on as a substitute.
The commentator was puzzled when he saw Yang Xu.
"This is this year's rookie, right? He was also from Xia country. He wondered why D'Antoni had brought him on?”
"Ross is really hard to defend against. Maybe D'Antoni really has no choice but to use this rookie to try!”
"I don't think it's going to be of much use. It's too difficult to have a rookie from China defend against Ross!”
When the fans saw Yang Xu come on stage, they were even more confused. Many fans did not even know about Yang Xu's existence.
"Who is this person? This year's rookie?"
"What is D'Antoni thinking? Why did they send a Chinese man up? Ross was even more unstoppable now!”
"What's going on with the Knicks? Why would they sign such a fresh meat?"
Yang Xu jogged onto the stage and replaced Joey, his partner Du Hong.
Du Hong patted Yang Xu's shoulder." Little guy, I'm depending on you. I really can't keep up!”
"Don't worry, I can do it!"
Ross made two free throws and the Bulls attacked.
Du Hong pushed forward with the ball and passed it to Yang Xu, who was standing at 45 degrees from the three-point line. David Lee was asking for the ball inside.
Without much hesitation, Yang Xu passed the ball to David Lee.
As soon as David Lee got the ball, he began to dig into the paint. Thomas had been hit by David Lee several times before.
This time, as soon as David Lee took the ball, Salmons, who was originally defending against Yang Xu, ignored Yang Xu and chose to double David Lee.
With the two of them double-teaming, David Lee did not force it and passed the ball back to Yang Xu.
Salmons immediately went back to defend against Yang Xu. At this time, David Lee began to ask for the ball inside.
Yang Xu once again passed the ball to David Lee. Salmons insisted on the principle of double-teaming.
David Lee wanted to play hard this time, but Salmons 'defense forced him to return the ball to Yang Xu again.
This time, Yang Xu did not pass the ball again. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that Salmons had yet to pounce over and directly shot a three-pointer.
Seeing that Yang Xu had made a three-point attack, a trace of resentment appeared on David Lee's face.
A moment later, it smelled so good!
The basketball was like a missile with a scope, shooting straight into the basket.
D'Antoni was very happy when he saw the goal.
He advocated for the players to be brave and not hesitate when there was an open space.
Although Yang Xu had scored a goal, the live commentators were still not optimistic about Yang Xu.
"This rookie is not bad! You can score as soon as you get on the field!"
"There's such a big empty seat. If you want me to go, I can go in too!”
"I…agree with what you said. Haha…"
The Bulls attack. Here comes Ross.
Yang Xu started to stick to Ross from the midfield. Yang Xu was much taller than Ross and had a longer wingspan.
When he spread his arms, the defensive range was very large.
Although Ross had only entered the Alliance for two years, he was already very steady.
No matter how Yang Xu pressed, he did not panic and maintained his own rhythm.
Previously, when Yang Xu was pressing down on him, he couldn't do it and was in a hurry to make a move.
Ross had his back to Yang Xu and controlled the time again. When there were 14 seconds left in the attack time, he suddenly turned around.
Then, he sped up. Yang Xu immediately caught up with Ross.
Who knew that Ross would take a step inside the three-point line and suddenly pull the ball back. However, Yang Xu adjusted his speed very quickly and returned to Ross with a glare.
However, Ross did a trick and pulled the ball to the other hand that had broken through before and started again.
This time, Yang Xu, who hadn't adjusted his center of gravity, was overtaken.
However, he did not give up on defense. Instead, he chased after them.
Rose threw the ball from the free-throw line. The parabola was so high that Jeffries couldn't reach it at all.
In the end, the basketball bounced a few times on the neck of the basket and rolled into the basket.
"I told you! He definitely couldn't defend against Ross. Ross 'sense of rhythm was too good.”
"Ross is the biggest pain for the Knicks now. If we don't solve Ross, the Knicks won't have a chance tonight!”
Yang Xu was hit by Ross, and the live commentator immediately showed off his previous prediction.
D'Antoni scratched his head helplessly. Obviously, Ross had become his nightmare tonight.
Just when everyone thought Yang Xu couldn't defend against Ross, Yang Xu gained some defensive experience.
The Knicks 'offense was still the same as before, playing inside.
But this time, Yang Xu had his own ideas. He wanted to suppress the Bulls 'spirit.
The ball was in Yang Xu's hands. He didn't pass it to Lee, but dribbled it.
"Pass the ball!" Lee shouted at Yang Xu.”
Yang Xu ignored him as if he hadn't heard him.
Salmons did not let his guard down just because Yang Xu was a rookie. Instead, he focused on defense.
Suddenly, Yang Xu's right hand broke through at a very fast speed. Salmons followed Yang Xu.
Yang Xu immediately pulled the ball back, and Salmons was pulled away.
Yang Xu did not shoot. Instead, he waited for Salmons to pounce on him again.
The left flank suddenly moved forward once again, and Salmons was completely cleared.
Then, at the free-throw line, he did the same thing.
The basketball entered the net!
Ross looked at Yang Xu and smiled unconsciously.
"Looks like this rookie isn't here to defend, but to attack!”
"Don't say it, that goal just now was not worse than Ross 'goal! Is there a surprise?"
"I'm looking forward to the next match.”
There were only 35 seconds left in the second period.
