Chapter 188 Contest About the Future
On December 12, the Kings visited Milwaukee and challenged the Bucks in back-to-back away games.
Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin, located on the west shore of Lake Michigan.About this city, Xie Kai knows, except for the Bucks, is the AOSmith water heater.Because the electric water heater at home is AOSmith.
The Bucks ranked 34th in the East with a record of 48 wins and 12 losses last season and missed the playoffs.But although they also missed the playoffs, their record is obviously much better than that of the kings who are the last in the league.
But so far this season, the Kings' winning percentage is higher than that of the Bucks (Kings 12 wins and 13 losses, Bucks 11 wins and 13 losses).
In this game, whoever wins the two teams will have a higher winning percentage than the other.
Such a contest between non-playoff strong teams has indeed attracted a lot of attention.The source of attention mainly lies in the young people of the two teams.
Tyreke Evans VS Brandon Jennings, the direct dialogue between these two hottest rookies this year is enough to attract the attention of fans and the media.
Evans is known as "Point Guard James". He currently averages close to 20+5+5 per game. His performance is very stable and he is a strong contender for the best rookie.
Jennings currently averages more than 20 points per game. Not long ago, he scored the highest score of the current season - 55 points, which is an explosion!
There is no need to worry about having no topic for such a conversation.Not to mention the dialogue between Xie Kai and Alexander, two 2nd graders.Alexander has Chinese blood, while Xie Kai is completely yellow.This kind of dialogue can also attract many topics.
Of course, Alexander may not be able to enter the rotation in this game, but Evans and Jennings will undoubtedly start the game on behalf of their respective teams, and they will play in the same position, and they are very likely to match up.
As a rebuilding team, the level of young players will most likely determine the team's future ceiling.For the Kings, of course they hope that Xie Kai and Evans have a higher upper limit than the youngsters of other teams.
The Bradley Center, home of the Bucks, can accommodate 18717 fans, but today's attendance rate is not very good.As a small ball market team, due to the tepid record of the home team, the ball market is relatively unsatisfactory.This is a bit different from the Sleep Train Arena, the home of the Kings. The attendance rate of that venue is even worse than that of this place.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Bucks at home is: center-Andrew Bogut, power forward-Erson Ilyasova, small forward-Luke Richard Mbah a Moute, shooting guard-Cal Los Delfino, point guard - Brandon Jennings.
The starting lineup of the Kings in the away game is: center-Spencer Hawes, power forward-Jason Thompson, small forward-Andy Snocioni, shooting guard-Xie Kai, point guard-Ty Rick Evans.
Commentary for the game, Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy.
"Hey, Jeff, I can finally explain this game. I've been looking forward to it for a long time! Hahaha..." Mike Breen said with a smile.
"Because of whom? Tyreke and Brandon? Or because of Kane Xie?" Jeff Van Gundy asked.
Mike Breen laughed and said, "I'd say I have them all!"
"It's normal to have all of them. Many reporters on the website have written previews!" Jeff Van Gundy said.
Near the middle circle of the court, Bogut and Jason Thompson prepare to jump the ball, and the game is about to start.
In the away game, Jason Thompson’s jump ball wins are twice as many as at home. I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t have the support of the fans in the away game, which makes him lose the motivation to jump the ball, or he just loses often in the away game.This has become metaphysics, and fans on the Internet even opened posts to discuss it.
According to the usual practice, Jason Thompson lost the jump ball this time, and lost to Bogut, who had a very average bounce speed.
Amidst the cheers of not many fans at the scene, Jennings dribbled over and the game officially started.
It was Evans who defended Jennings, and it was Delfino who defended Xie Kai.
The first wave of the Bucks' offense was Bogut hitting Hawes in the low post.
Although Hawes is considered a soft center, but the tonnage is there anyway, it is not so easy for Bogut to dominate one-on-one, so the first attack, the hook misses the basket!
Jason Thompson grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Evans to advance.
On Evans' side, he hung a cover and forcibly charged the opponent's line of defense.
Bogut's frame protection is very good, with tonnage, and a good defensive position, with his arms stretched straight, blocking the opponent's layup.
Ilyasova grabbed the rebound and handed it to Jennings to advance.
Both sides made an attack each, but they failed.
"In this game, if Sacramento's Spencer and Andys can't play outside, and Milwaukee's Brandon doesn't feel good, the game will become a defensive battle!" Jeff Van Gundy said.
"You don't think Kane and Tyreke are the key to Sacramento's success?" Mike Breen asked.
Jeff Van Gundy explained: "The performance of Kane and Tyreke is of course important, but if other players can't shoot outside, it will be very difficult to win away games!"
The Bucks attack, Jennings comes up with one himself, and one shoots an arrow on horseback - the bullet comes out of the box!
Mbah a Moute grabbed an offensive rebound and gave it to Delfino on the outside. Xie Kai judged it in place and succeeded in stealing it!
Xie Kai immediately counterattacked and was destroyed by Delfino's tactical foul!
Kings possession!
Xie drives the ball from the sideline, Evans catches it, and dribbles it across half court.
Hawes responded in a high position, thanked the inside cut and then played outside, received the ball from Hawes, and shot a 3-pointer-no!
Long rebounds!Xie Kai was so strong that he went in with the ball and scored Jason Thompson who was near the basket in front of him.
For the rebound, Bogut got it!
But the Bucks came here and Ilyasova walked illegally...
The two teams played for more than 2 minutes, either hitting the iron or making mistakes. The score was still 0:0. It seemed that no one could score first.
"Jeff, judging by the feel of both sides in the opening game, you must have guessed it!" Mike Brin said with a smile.
Jeff Van Gundy is still a little humble: "The game has just begun, and everything is still inconclusive!"
This kind of iron-making error made the small number of fans on the scene feel a little drowsy. There is no way, this game is indeed a bit boring.Although defense is very important, if the offense is really poor, it will definitely affect the fans' perception of watching the game.
Evans dribbles over and points to Jason Thompson.
Jason Thompson hits Ilyasova hard and makes a mistake when he is out of the ball after being flanked...
The Bucks stole the ball and counterattacked, Jennings passed Delfino, and the latter made a quick layup and was interfered by Xie Kai-no!
Xie Kai grabbed the first rebound of the game, came over with the ball, and gave it to Evans.
