Chapter 395

After losing to the San Antonio Spurs, the Suns have lost 4 games in the new season. This is really a big blow to a team whose goal is to win the top spot in the regular season.

However, the leaking boat was met with continuous rain all night, and the Suns' bad luck has not passed yet.

Just after leaving the home court of the Spurs, Barbosa felt something was wrong with his foot. After the examination, he found that he was going to undergo surgery. It is estimated that he will have to rest for two months before the All-Star Game before he can return.

Although it was only a minor operation and had little impact on Barbosa's basketball career, the situation was very bad for a Suns team that had suffered numerous injuries and had been poached.

It is not easy for the Suns to assemble a starting five-man lineup. After all, the newly joined Jones has an average offensive level, and he can't beat the starting players if he can defend alone. Diaw is in good condition, but his position is not good. Arrangement, he is too comprehensive, even how D'Antoni wants to use him is a bit of a headache, and he is still debugging.

The only thing that can be called good news for the Suns is the upcoming schedule. The Suns will be relatively relaxed and should usher in a wave of rebound.

On November 11, the Phoenix Suns will fly back home to face the visiting Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors sent away the team's superstar Vince Carter in the middle of last season, and chose to use Chris Bosh as the cornerstone of the team, officially starting the road to reconstruction.

This season, the Raptors still choose to play poorly and hit the No. [-] pick.

At present, their state is very bad. They have lost 6 games in a row, with a record of 1 win and 8 losses, ranking first in the bottom of the league in the regular season.

Just looking at their starting lineup, they are actually stronger than the Suns, but when put together, they are very messy.

The No. 1 position is played by Mike James. Don't look at Mike James's mediocre statistics in the past. All-star stats.

You know, his last season's data was only able to contribute 6.2 points and 3.5 assists, which is almost the result of marginal people.

As long as he can maintain his current level, he will be the most improved player this season. No player will be his opponent, unless there is a shady scene, otherwise, who else?
His style of play is very tough, he dares to fight, he scores very violently, he takes scoring as his first choice, and his organization is average.

The No. 2 position is taken by Maurice Peterson. He is the third scorer of the Raptors. He has a flash of three-pointers and is a good "3D player".

He has both offense and defense. Every night of the game, he will defend against the strongest opponent. He is the Raptors' defensive vanguard.

The No. 3 position is played by Jaylen Rose, a former All-Star scorer, and now his physical fitness has declined seriously, and his combat power has declined a lot.

There is almost nothing defensively, but the offense should not be underestimated.

The 4th position is occupied by Raptors star Chris Bosh. As a representative of the 03 Platinum Generation, his performance is no worse than James, Anthony and Wade. With the ball, he can average 23.4 points per game. With 8.9 rebounds, he is the leading scorer of the Raptors and has gradually achieved All-Star power forward data.

The No. 5 position is occupied by Rafael Aruyo. He is the No. 04 rookie in the first round of the 8 rookie class. Now he may lose water and has not adapted to the rhythm of NBA games.At present, he can contribute 5.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. He is a real blue-collar insider with average potential.

The Raptors' starting lineup looks pretty good.However, after all, their goal is to play poorly, and the stats are the real business, and winning is impossible.

At 9:[-] in the evening, the Phoenix Suns vs. Toronto Raptors officially started at the American West Arena.

The starting five of the Suns changed again, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Lin Bai, small forward Raja Bell, power forward Sean Marion, and center Kurt Thomas.

In the jump ball, Bosh did not give Thomas any chance, and easily dialed the basketball into the hands of Mike James.

The game started in the first quarter, and the Raptors had the ball to attack first.

With long legs, Mike James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, changed direction and accelerated to break through to the inside, easily reaching the three-point line.

During the march, he stepped down and dribbled the ball, shot the basketball from the right to the left, and then pulled the ball and made a feint shot, faked a spurt, and made a three-step layup.

Jumping up from the basket, stretching and stretching in the air, after dodging Thomas' defense, he hooked his right hand, the basketball spun and flew to the basket, wiped the backboard, got into the basket, scored two points, and took the lead.

2 to 0! !
Mike James seems to be on fire this season, his state is like a god's help, and his offensive firepower is fully fired. Nash's defensive strength alone cannot stop Mike James from scoring points at all.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Suns attack, Nash easily speeds up, the Raptors don't seem to restrict the Suns from rushing up and running.

Nash was also polite, and quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

With a clear snap, Nash hit the ground and passed the ball to the left of Garabel's hand.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left, Lagabel caught the ball and faced the frame. Without any extra movements, he directly pulled the ball up and opened his hands to make a three-point jumper.

Bang! !

At the beginning of the game, Garabel's shooting touch has not been found yet, the three-pointer shot is missed, and the basketball bounces out of the frame.

Fortunately, Marion hit the rebound and grabbed the basketball steadily. Facing Bosh's defense, his height was at a disadvantage.

After Nash received the ball, he immediately shifted and divided the basketball to the right.

Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the right, Lin Bai received the ball and faced the defense of Peterson.

Lin Bai jumped up, handing the basketball with both hands to the hands of Thomas who pulled out to respond.

Thomas caught the ball and feinted a shot, tricking the opposing Aruyu into blocking the shot and jumping up.

His physical talent is good, but his awareness of defensive experience is very weak, and defenses like to jump up and block shots.

Thomas swayed the opponent, dribbled a step sideways, immediately pulled the ball up, and made a two-point mid-range jumper.

Swish! !

As a short insider, Thomas knows that without the mid-range shooting ability, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the NBA. He has to develop into a short-range insider and train hard to have a good mid-range shooting skill.

2 to 2! !
The Raptors attack, Mike James dribbles upcourt and immediately puts the ball into Bosh's hands.

Facing Marion's defense, Bosh lifted the ball to make a shooting action, then pulled the ball down and dribbled to the inside to break through.

His body is very violent, his explosive power is very strong, and he easily hits the basket.

Pulling the ball up, he slammed the basketball into the basket in the air.

A loud bang!
Tomahawk-style one-handed dunk, two points scored steadily.

4 to 2! !
The offense of the Raptors is very good, and the offense of the Suns is not far behind. Nash dribbles the ball to the frontcourt, and directly uses a bow-like action to deceive Mike James' defensive center of gravity. breakthrough.

One step from the free throw line, Nash didn't go deep, and before Bosh couldn't make up the defense in time, he immediately drew his bow and set up an arrow, and opened his hand to make a small throw of horseback archery.

The basketball flew over Boshou's head, drawing a high arc in the air.

Bang! !

There was a crisp sound of hitting the backboard, and the basketball hit the center of the backboard with precision, and it bounced into the frame.

4 to 4! !
Nash's housekeeping skills can still easily score points.

Next, the two sides fought wildly, and no one was in the mood to defend. They put all their energy on offense, trying to defeat the opponent with offensive firepower.

In the confrontational situation, the offensive rhythm of the two sides was very fast. The 7-second running and bombing of the Suns was shining. Under Nash's mastery, the offensive firepower of the Suns was very violent. The Raptors had a wave of 36 to 27 attacks.

After the first quarter, the Raptors played against the Suns, which was simply the wrong opponent. The Suns took the lead shortly after the start and continued to lead in the score.

The game started in the second quarter. The Raptors are not here to compete with the Suns. They need to train rookies.

As a result, they carried out a substantial rotation.

Two first-round picks in 2005, Charlie Villanueva and Joey Graham, second-round pick Matt Bonner of the 03 Platinum Generation, and Jose Calderon were replaced.

In the second quarter, D'Antoni, who had lost 4 games, did not allow accidents at all.

In addition to retaining the two starters, Diaw, Jones and Grant were replaced.

The Suns actually have a lot of rotations, but Nash and Marion are still on the court. With the Suns' top and second players on the court, the Suns' offensive firepower continues to be quite good.Hit the Raptors with a wave of 19 to 6 attacks, directly stopping the Raptors.

After the timeout, the Raptors had nothing to do. They still opened up their positions and fought against the Suns.

Villanuel, the No. 05 pick in the first round of the 7 generation, played relatively well, with good physical talent, a good mid-range shot, and a very active defense, daring to fight.

However, Joey Graham, the No. 05 pick in the first round of the 16 generation, performed very poorly. He was almost invisible all over the court, running back and forth with the team, and did not adapt to the rhythm of the game at all.

Calder played in the NBA game in his first year. His style of play is very calm and he will not make mistakes. However, his organizational and scoring skills are still too poor, and he has no sense of presence at all.

You know, as a point guard, he has no sense of presence on the court, as if he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and started passing the ball to the players.Can't break through, can't shoot, can only control the ball?
Matt Bonner is an empty insider who likes to shoot three-pointers from the outside. He shoots very resolutely, but his shooting percentage is purely average.

The Raptors' bench lineup of rookies was no match for the Suns, and they were pushed to the floor and beaten.

At the end of the second quarter, the Suns directly beat the Raptors 35 to 19, almost establishing the finale in the first half of the game.

The Suns almost beat the Raptors. After the first half of the game, they led their opponents by 71 points 46 to 25 and entered the locker room to rest.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Suns' offensive firepower declined somewhat, but the gap between the two sides continued to widen with a score of 26 to 23.

Just after the first three quarters of the game, the main players of the Suns clocked out of get off work, sat on the bench, and watched the game of the substitute players.

There was no suspense in the fourth quarter of the game, and the two sides just went through a cutscene.

At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns easily beat the Toronto Raptors with a 128-98, 20-point lead at home.
