Chapter 26 Toronto Raptors

Target Center, a training arena on the basement level.

There was a lot of discussion from the outside world, and there was a lot of quarrel for Ning Yi, but Ning Yi didn't care at all. Except for browsing the news on the Internet at the beginning, he never paid attention to it.

He is just a mortal, not a god. It is impossible for everyone to like him, and it is impossible for everyone to support him. Paying attention to these things will not bring him any benefits.

So, he calmed down and focused on training.

Ning Yi learned a lot and grew a lot in the game against CSKA. He reflected on himself and found that he was really immature and lacked many things.

The system also analyzes the game for Ning Yi, which places Ning Yi did well, which places did not do well, when and how to do it, etc.
On this day, Ning Yi spent all day in the arena.

Of course, not training all day, he thought, but his body couldn't handle it, not to mention flying to Toronto tonight.

In fact, most of the time the system is explaining and Ning Yi is learning. This is a kind of theoretical accumulation and improvement, which is as indispensable as training.

Until the evening, the Timberwolves gathered, boarded the plane, and flew to Toronto-tomorrow, they will challenge the Toronto Raptors away.

October 10, Toronto.

The Air Canada Center arena is brightly lit. Today is the Raptors VS Timberwolves game. Although the game has not yet started, there are already many people sitting in the auditorium, nearly [-] people.

This is the NBA, even if it is a preseason game, there are so many spectators.

At 06:30 in the afternoon, players from both sides came on the field, first the Timberwolves players, and everyone came out of the player channel under the leadership of Adelman, and the audience immediately rang out.

There were boos and there were cheers.

Of course, there are still more boos. After all, this is the Raptors' home court, and most of them are Raptors fans. There are fewer Timberwolves fans.

After a while, the Raptors players came out.

The DJ shouted out the names of the players at the top of his voice, and every time he called out a name, there was a burst of cheers from the audience, especially when Rudy Gay, Kyle Lowry, and DeMar DeRozan played At that time, the cheers in the auditorium reached their peak, as if they were about to break through the roof.

Ning Yi's heart was agitated, and his heartbeat accelerated.

This game is different from the last game. The last game was against a European team. This game is an NBA team. This feeling is definitely different.

"Okay, let's play and warm up." Adelman said.

For the Timberwolves, everyone warmed up.

Not far away, the Raptors players also warmed up one after another. They were all simple shots and layups, and no one dunked. After all, this was only a preseason game. Both sides were very relaxed and there was no fireworks.

After some warm-up, the players returned to the sidelines.

There are also many Chinese fans in the auditorium. Canada is one of the favorite immigration countries for Chinese. This has something to do with Canada’s immigration policy. But to be honest, there are many Chinese here.

At this time, these people were also talking.

"Look, that's Ning Yi."

"I don't know how many points he can score today."

"It's hard to say, but I think it's definitely not a problem to score 18 points. I don't know if I can surpass the previous game and get more than [-] points."

"Hopefully, let us look forward to it."

Almost all of these people support Ning Yi. After all, there are too few Chinese people who can enter the NBA.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines.

Adelman began to order: "Pekovic, Love, Brewer, Martin, Rubio, you guys will be the starters later." After finishing speaking, he spread out the tactical board, "We will take it later"

Ning Yi is still a substitute, which is not surprising. Ning Yi also knows this. Although he played well in the last game, he can't convince people in only one game, let alone become the starter.

Not far away, the Raptors coach is also making arrangements: "Be careful with Love, strengthen the inside defense, and protect the rebounds. In addition, DeRozan, Lowry, Gay, the three of you must cooperate, the outside is our advantage .”

"Yes." The three responded.

This is a preseason game aimed at exercising newcomers, fine-tuning the lineup, and rehearsing tactics, but it is also a simulation of the future, such as how to play against the Timberwolves. This can be an exercise.

After a while, the flute sounded and the game began.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and Pekovic and Valanciunas jumped up almost at the same time. Valanciunas touched the ball first and sent the ball to the backcourt.

Lowry took control of the ball and started pushing.

The Raptors' starters today are Jonas Valanciunas, Amir Johnson, Rudy Gay, DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Lowry.

When Lowry advanced to the frontcourt, he made a pick-and-roll with Valanciunas, and then passed the ball back to Valanciunas.At the same time, DeRozan ran back and passed Valanciunas. Valanciunas turned sideways to help DeRozan block the defender, and then passed the ball to DeRozan. .

The next moment, DeRozan took a step forward, pulled up and shot.

boom!
The ball missed, Love flew up, took the rebound first, and the Timberwolves launched a counterattack.

Rubio advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Martin. Martin scored a sudden and passed it to Brewer. Scored.

At the beginning, the Timberwolves had the upper hand. In addition to Love's small throw, Martin also used a reverse run to reach the basket, completed a cooperation with Rubio, and easily scored two points.

Tens of seconds later, Love once again succeeded in singles.

At the beginning, the Timberwolves beat the Raptors 6:0, giving the Raptors a blow.

However, the Air Canada Center Arena is the Raptors' home court after all, and they soon launched a counterattack. DeRozan first made a mid-range shot, and then Rudy Gay hit a single.

This is not over yet, just after this ball, Lowry also made a contribution, and after making a pick-and-roll with his teammates, he shot directly from outside the three-point line, which was also a hit.

For a while, the score became 6:7, and the Timberwolves fell behind by one point.

"This is an NBA-level game." Ning Yi admired and felt excited.

This kind of game is fast-paced and very clear, especially the confrontation between stars, which is always so exciting and exciting, which makes people's blood boil.

Of course, it also made the players on the sidelines excited, eager to rush to the court, run with them, charge together, and attack the opponent's basket.

"When will I be able to play?" Ning Yi looked at Adelman.

In the auditorium, many fans are also thinking about this question. Due to Ning Yi's performance in the previous game, they are full of expectations for Ning Yi. They hope that he can play as soon as possible, and hope that he can continue the amazingness of the previous game.

In Huaxia, in front of the TV and computer, there are countless fans watching the game. Like the fans at the scene, they are full of expectations for Ning Yi.
