Forward to the basket

How terrible is a man who has been holding back for several years without releasing the essence of his life?

It is estimated that this question is... difficult to answer.

But you just have to think about it, why do you say that martial arts in the world come from Shaolin?

you know.

Abstinent men are indeed terrifying existences.

Now the Toronto Raptors are a group of NBA sluggers who have been holding back for several years and can only hear booing every night in the game. This gathering together is definitely quite destructive.

This is the case with the Toronto Raptors, a group of men who desperately need to be released.

Since Carter left, the Toronto Raptors have completely sunk, and there is no such crazy roar in the Skydome that shouted for the Canadian trapeze.

Every time there is a home game here, there are no cheering slogans, and there are boos.

上赛季更是只取得了27胜55负，仅次于02-03赛季的24胜58负。

The nba's new army is a very sad existence, and Toronto is even more miserable.

But after they selected the No. [-] pick, they could finally open their throats and howl vigorously.

And in the first game of the preseason, sitting on the home court advantage, the group of old men in Toronto, who had been suffocated, finally got mad.

14:2, within 4 minutes, the Toronto Raptors scored 14 points and counterattacked quickly.

On the Celtics side, only Szczerbiak stepped on the three-point line and made a long-range mid-range shot.

If there is no shame for this barely shot mid-range shot, then the Celtics may be shaved by their opponents in the first 4 minutes.

One out of seven shots, this embarrassing statistic can no longer be attributed to Tianhan's cold hands.

This is not playing wild ball on the street, the temperature inside the Skydome is not low.

The rhythm of the entire Celtics team has been disrupted by the opponent, and Tony Allen has been chasing Ford's ass to eat ashes.

In fact, Allen's defensive ability is very strong, but this time he encountered TJ Ford, who has returned from injury, the only lunatic in the entire NBA league who can catch up with Iverson in speed.

In the first 4 minutes of the game, Ford, who was only 1.8 meters tall, could always see Tony Allen, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, at a runaway speed as if he was on a hot wheel.

No wonder when he entered the NBA in his rookie season, Iverson said, "Ford can't prevent my high-speed change of direction. Similarly, I can't keep an eye on his lightning cut."

If there is no torture from injuries, perhaps this little man would already be proud of the NBA arena with this speed advantage, and he would not have fallen all the way to the Toronto Raptors.

However, after a few seasons of rest, Ford, who finally got rid of his injuries this summer, finally came back, and he gave Tony Allen a blow as soon as he came back.

Among the 14 points scored by the Raptors, Ford contributed 3 assists and scored [-] points himself.

In addition, Ford has two precise steals, but these are not the most terrible, the main thing is his lightning inside cut, which completely disrupted the Celtics' defense.

The chaos on the outside will also affect the defense on the inside. Originally, Perkins could still withstand Chris Bursh's frontal attack, but Ford's cut-in confused Ogwakandi.

Ogwokandi met the new champion Bargnani in the interior, and the old champion met the new champion.

If you just look at the title, I thought it would be a deadly match between a good opponent and a good talent, but the cruel facts prove that Ogwokandi really didn't waste the outside world's comments on him.

One rebound, blocked twice, Ogwakandi contributed such data in the first 4 minutes.

In fact, Bargnani's performance was not good, with two points, two rebounds, and one block, but compared with Ogwokandi, this is simply an amazing performance!

What's more, Bargnani is surrounded by Nesterovic who is constantly cooperating with him in the pincer attack. How can he handle a useless center like Ogvorkandi.

Although Ogwokandi also has a junior like Kwame Brown who is also very watery, parallel imports are really only more watery, not the most watery.

For those who can make their career so bad, I am afraid that there are few who can practice the title of No. [-] pick better than Ogwokandi.

With such a good-for-nothing standing inside, do you still expect him to be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defense?

Rivers almost stomped his feet and scolded his mother on the sidelines, "Michael that idiot! Two fouls in 4 minutes! With such a performance, he can't even think about playing in the new season!"

Not only is Rivers already a little runaway, but Thibodeau can't sit still next to him.After all, he is in charge of the team's defensive training, and Ogwokandi's performance is so bad that he can't hold back his face.

Without Pierce and other generals in charge, the game suffered such a blow at the beginning. The scene on the Celtics side seemed a bit chaotic, and Rivers had no choice but to call a timeout.

"Steady! Your rhythm is out of order! If you don't want to be killed like this, get up your spirits immediately! Stand still! Don't let the opponent charge up! Inside, you must guard!"

Rivers didn't give Ogwakandi, the former No. [-] pick, any face, and directly threw the biggest scar on the inside to the bench, and Perkins was pushed to the center position.

The power forward was played by Jefferson, who was pressed to the ground and hammered by the opponent for a long time. Even if Rivers was a clay figurine, he had three points of anger.

"Let those guys over there wake up! I don't want them to think the game is won here! Just one request! Kick their asses! Kick me hard!"

Tony Allen was also replaced due to a poor opening performance, and West was replaced at point guard.

The restarted game has returned to a normal state, and the offense and defense of both sides are no longer one-sided. The game has fallen into a stalemate, and the two sides are killing each other.

While Ford's sprints are still lightning fast, the Raptors are playing a lot less fast.

Perkins and Jefferson have completed the task of guarding the inside line, leaving Ford without too many opportunities to directly hit the basket.

Although West couldn't keep an eye on Ford, it was better than Tony's embarrassment at the beginning, and his position gradually stabilized, and the Celtics' offense gradually improved.

Although Szczerbiak's outside shots were still soft, the accuracy was much better than before. The consecutive mid-range shots allowed him to score four points.

And Jefferson's strong attack on the inside has also achieved results. Chris Bish, who has just been replaced, has a small body like a firewood girl because he can't carry this big guy.

Jefferson is really handy as a power forward. He has been able to force the basket to hit the board twice in a row.

However, Perkins is still at a disadvantage in terms of size. When he grabs rebounds inside, he is always taken advantage of by Bargnani.

This is because Nesterovic has already rested, and the Raptors also use two power forwards to fight the flexibility of the Celtics inside.

Sometimes Perkins's loss of position will also involve Jefferson's defensive focus. Coupled with Bosch's body, she rarely squeezes inside, and always votes outside.

As long as Jefferson doesn't follow out and stick to it, he can easily be attacked by Bosh from the outside.

The two teams never really got closer, with the Celtics trailing the Toronto Raptors by eight points from the opening [-]-point gap to the whistle at the end of the first quarter.

Even though Rivers called a timeout to adjust his tactics halfway, the score has been stalemate at an eight-point gap.

At 30:22, the 8-point gap was not too dazzling, but Rivers was not satisfied with his overall performance in the first quarter, and he didn't play out what he asked for in training.

If it weren't for Jefferson's outstanding personal ability, maybe the double-digit point difference would be more reasonable.

This was the case with the Celtics last season. It all depended on Pierce to die alone. As a result, Pierce was injured, and the team's performance plummeted.

If the same is true this season, even if there is an extra Jefferson who has begun to mature, the Celtics' results will not improve much.

Without proper tactics to rely on, relying on talent alone to play, the regular season can still be a mess, and it is absolutely doomed to enter the playoffs.

"These players are used to the way they played last season, shouldn't it be time for a change?"

Rivers knew that the boys under him already had a kind of inertia, especially when someone could rely on them, they didn't realize their potential.

After the start of the second quarter, this inertia is still spreading. Jefferson's strong attack at the basket and the opponent's multi-point blooming have always made the score bite.

The Celtics want to chase points, but the Raptors' firepower is really fierce.

The Raptors wanted to open up the score, and Jefferson insisted on fighting against Bursh in the paint, and he was sure of it.

The stalemate is not only the score, but also Rivers' mind. He needs fundamental changes in the team.

He needs a catalyst, and he needs a catalyst that can ignite the team immediately.

Such a lifeless offense is unlikely to bring the Celtics victory and desired changes.

"Rondo, Chen Feng, you two come here!" After thinking for a long time, Rivers finally decided to make a change, and he shouted to the bench.

The unsatisfactory first quarter and the stalemate in the second quarter had already made Chen Feng restless on the bench.

Hearing Rivers' voice, Chen Feng almost jumped directly in front of the coach, and by the way, he also grabbed Rondo who hadn't reacted yet.

"Rondo, you replace West. In addition to staring at Ford, your task is to control the offense of the entire team. I know this task is very heavy, but you must complete it!"

Rivers is already very annoyed by the offensive rhythm on the court. Even a player like West who has played in the NBA for several years can't satisfy him.

Now that Rajon Rondo is on the court to take on the responsibility of point guard, it can be regarded as a new attempt for him.

As for the bald boy standing next to him, although Rivers had a headache seeing him, Perkins had already fouled twice, and someone must be able to join the shift.

Jefferson can be used as a center forward, so this kid can play power forward. Anyway, this wild kid has a lot of drive, and he might be able to cause some trouble for the opponent.

"Chen Feng, you go to replace Al's power forward position, stick to Chris Bosh, don't let him have an easy shot, and pay attention to protecting the rebound."

In fact, after these two weeks of coaching, Rivers has almost understood one thing.

That is the reality that what you say to Chen Feng may not be as good as putting him on the court directly.

"Go up and kill them, that's the request!" Rivers issued the order in the most concise way.

Chen Feng, who had been sitting on the bench for almost 10 minutes, couldn't hold back his urge to fight his opponent on the field. He whistled hard at Perkins.

The "Second Fatty", who has always been a very kind person, finally took a break after fighting for more than a session.

As for Chen Feng, he quickly got into the inside position. When Rondo saw this scene from behind, he really wanted to say that he didn't know him.

Substitution, two rookies, such a move is more like an early surrender when the two sides are in a stalemate. At least the Raptors don't think the two rookies can change anything.

Even Bargnani, who has mediocre statistics, is getting mentally active at this time. He is depressed that his plan for scoring points has not been going smoothly.

Now that the opponent has replaced two rookies, he, the No. [-] pick in the draft, has to perform well, at least to make the fans in Toronto think that he is indeed worthy of the title of No. [-] pick.

Although Bargnani's current opponent has been replaced by Jefferson, Bargnani still has a little advantage in height, "Eat him hard!" When Ford passed the ball into the interior, the No. [-] pick was ready Turn this offense into a fight where he takes on Jefferson one-on-one, and he wants to be the winner.

Shaking his shoulders, Jefferson didn't take advantage of Bargnani's fake moves, but the Italian didn't just have fake moves. He didn't seem to be able to shake Jefferson, he exerted force on his toes, and directly changed the shape of his hands in the air.

shot!Jefferson was originally a little shorter than Bargnani, and if he wanted to block shots or interfere at this time, he could only look at the ball and sigh.

"Yes!", although the shot was a bit hasty, Bargnani was still a little confident in his shooting accuracy near the three-second zone. As soon as he shot the ball, he felt it.

"There's your sister!" Before Bargnani could understand the meaning of the yell, he saw the basketball that was already floating in the air being slammed on the backboard with both hands.

"Boom!", when the loud sound came out through the microphone, it was sharp and ear-piercing, and one could even hear the noise of those big hands pressing the basketball against the tempered glass backboard.

At this moment, everyone saw a strong figure with a bald head passing by in the air.

Under the lights of the Tiandome Arena, it seemed that there was a sharp edge on the guy who rose into the sky!

(Uh, the Heat have been defeated one after another recently. Could it be that they are trying to save their character for the playoffs? This... really has a long-term plan... Maybe they will be able to succeed this season. I don’t know what the little emperor will be after they really succeed What kind of expression? Looking forward to... Everyone, vote hard, there are many activities in Zongheng where you can get Zongheng coins, you can play small games and so on, earn some, and you can also use them in reading books.)
