NBA opening draw to twilight Shaquille O'Neal

Chapter 315 The First Stop of the Eastern Abuse Cuisine——Toronto
After a day off, Wang Zelin followed the team to Toronto the next day, which is the coldest time of the year in Toronto.

As soon as I got off the plane, what caught my eye was a piece of goose feather heavy snow.

Not long after staying in the hotel booked by the team, Wang Zelin received good news.

This week's best player in the NBA is out. The East is LeBron James. He averaged 34 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks per game this week, leading the Heat to victory in all three games.

The shooting percentage is especially outrageous, reaching 70.2%!The same is true for three-pointers, averaging 2.1 shots and 1.7 hits per game, and the hit rate is as high as 62.5%.

What is a Superstar (Tactical Leanback)
What about the west side?
There is no doubt that Wang Zelin took it into his pocket.

带队成绩都是三战全胜不说，个人场均数据为22分13.3篮板6助攻1.6盖帽，投篮命中率也超过了7成。

Especially the triple-double won that night against the Spurs, the gold content is a hard data that no one can compete with.

In addition, this is the second time that Wang Zelin has won the player of the week this season.

You must know that this is only the third week, which shows how amazing his performance during this period is.

In ESPN's last regular season MVP rankings, Wang Zelin's personal ranking has risen from 8th to 4th.The three ahead of him are James, Chris Paul, and Durant, all of whom are well-known superstars in the league.

However, everyone knows that when the latest regular season MVP list is updated tomorrow, the No. 36 of the Portland Trail Blazers will definitely be ranked in the top three.

The only suspense is, where will he be ranked?

High probability - it will be the first!
……

The Raptors' start this year has been greatly improved compared to last year, ranking third in the Eastern Conference with 6 wins and 4 losses.

This shooting guard who is keen on classical mid-range shots, averaged more than 20 points per game for the first time this season.

According to statistics, DeRozan jumped to second place in the ranking of mid-range shots by shooting guards this season, and his idol Kobe Bryant ranked first.

In addition, there is also Kyle Lowry, a mosaic veteran who joined the Raptors last year. This year, Xiaogangpao got rid of the troubles of injuries and scored the largest increase in scoring data, breaking through from 11 points per game to around 17 points per game.

A guard who averaged 11+ per game and a guard who averaged 17+ per game did not help the Raptors in the same breath.

However, our team just lost to the Chicago Bulls at home two days ago. Kyle Lowry made 13 of 5 shots from the field and played a wave, which led to DeRozan scoring a career-high 37 points, and it was difficult to save the Raptors.

At 6:00 p.m., all the home fans entered the Aviation Center Arena, and there were no empty seats in the more than 19000 seats. The strong performance of the Raptors this year gave them hope for the playoffs.

Therefore, even though their opponent tonight is the Portland Trail Blazers, who are currently ranked first in the league, Toronto fans still showed great enthusiasm.

DeRozan has gradually realized his talent this season, and Lowry's ability to control the field on the outside has become more and more stable. The Raptors have decided to build a team framework around the two.

At this time, the most embarrassing player in the Raptors became Rudy Gay, the former successor of McGrady.

Before the All-Star Game of the last century, in the three-way trade between the Raptors, Grizzlies and Pistons, Rudy Gay, who had always been the scoring leader of the Grizzlies, was traded to the Toronto Raptors, which made the former genius very dissatisfied.

When he came to the Raptors, he once tried to be below McGrady, who was traded to the Magic in the past, and used his offense to lead the team into the playoffs.

The management of the Raptors thought so too. After getting Rudy Gay, they trusted Rudy Gay, who became a 20+ top scorer in the league in the second year of his career, and gave the latter the team's first offensive possession. The team also gradually polished the tactical system around him...

The result was disappointing.

After the regular season, the Toronto Raptors, who had struggled for more than half a year, could only rank tenth in the Eastern Conference and missed the playoffs for five consecutive years.

The highly anticipated Rudy Gay played for half a season, started 33 games in 32 games, scored 19.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and a career-high 1.7 steals.

But together!
He is always dissociated from the team system, and he can't have a good chemical reaction with DeRozan Lowry's people. The statistics are good, but what's the use if the team can't win?

Some Toronto fans even complained: "The arrival of Gay has directly weakened DeRozan's possession of the ball. Otherwise, DeRozan's scoring average last season would not have been 18 points, but it is very likely to break through the 20 mark early!"

The Raptors started off well this season, showing momentum towards the playoffs.But in the eyes of fans and management, more depends on the growth of DeRozan and Lowry.

Gay is still the same, scoring well, averaging around 19 points per game, but his efficiency is too low.

The team's first 18 shots can only be exchanged for 7 hits, and the shooting percentage fell below 4% for the first time in his career!
Recently, suspicions within the Raptors have sprung up. According to gossip, the Raptors management has been discussing deals with many teams in the league. At most, before the All-Star Game, Rudy Gay will leave Toronto.

On one side, there seems to be internal discord, and on the other side, it is menacing.

Under such circumstances, the game started.

Anyway, it is a contest between two seeded teams in the playoffs, and the media of all parties still pay more attention to it. ESPN will be responsible for the full-meter live broadcast of this game.

As for the country, the broadcast treatment of the Portland Trail Blazers game is already the number one in the world, no less than the mosaic of the year.

At the end of the first quarter, the result was somewhat unexpected.

Although the Raptors scored a good 22 points, their opponents scored more, a total of 46 points. DeRozan and Lowry, the brothers and sisters, were completely stunned by the opposing offensive wave.

So, after the first quarter, the Blazers 46:22 the Raptors, leading by 24 points with a huge score.

It is worth mentioning that the Blazers have scored 49 points in a single quarter three times in history. Today, Wang Zelin and his team scored 46 points in a single quarter, which became the second highest scoring record in a single quarter in history and the highest score scored by the Blazers in a single quarter since the New World.

Princeton's style of play worked wonders in the game against the Raptors. The Raptors players seem to have not yet adapted to the Blazers' style change, and their impressions are still stuck in a large number of positional battles last season.

Not every head coach has Sima Weiqi's forward-looking vision and excellent tactical adaptability, at least the current Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey does not have this level of ability.

The worst thing the Raptors did in the first quarter was center Yonas Valanciunas.

The current Walan is only in the second grade, and he has not yet practiced his outside shooting. He is best at finishing in the low post, but his body is not strong enough.

When playing against Wang Zelin, he was at a disadvantage in all aspects. Not only could he not guard against others, but he also couldn't get into the inside line. His hard-working low-position skills were in vain.

Pass a foul in a single quarter, and make 2 of 1 free throws so that you won't get a duck's egg.

Raptors tonight, difficult!
　Depend on!I fell ill today... the lazy cancer that always occurs once or twice a month has committed again. Today, the computer was turned on and off 4 times in a row, and I barely coded 2K. Let me take it easy!
