The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 128 Final Lineup

The battle will officially begin tomorrow, with Sam making the final adjudication of the roster.

Center position: Jamal Magloire, 211 cm tall, has a beautiful mid-range, relatively mediocre post-up and basket attack ability, excellent rebound protection ability, average defense and frame protection, but poor in this big man In his era, he can be regarded as a good player.

Matt Bonner, 208 cm tall, has a three-point basket, plays very smartly, and is very active in defense. Unfortunately, he moves slowly and lacks confrontation, so he is a qualified substitute.Rafael Aruyo, a standard blue-collar coolie, has a positive attitude and desperate defense, but it is absolutely impossible for him to make much contribution. He is the second choice of the substitute.

Power forward position: Chris Bosh, the core of the Raptors, has great attacking talents, quick lateral movement, can make three-pointers, mid-range and baskets. His skills are still very comprehensive, but his low-post skills are greatly reduced due to his thin body .The presence on the defensive end is very low, and his weakness is assisting defense and supplementing defense. I don't know if it is an attitude problem or immature.certainly!Bosh can also play center, but he is definitely not happy, he would rather float out.

Veteran Antonio Davis can also play the two positions of center and power forward. He used to be a star player, but he is basically in the retirement state and has no desire to fight, and he has very little skill.Reggie Evans, a rebounding maniac, but his height and attack defects are unacceptable, just a good substitute.Pep So, only 23 years old, young and energetic, playing with passion, nothing else.

Small forward position: Maurice Peterson, a left-handed general, has stable three-point ability, average dribble breakthrough and mid-range ability, and needs someone to feed the ball to his mouth.But his defense is definitely a strong point. The speed of movement and excellent defensive awareness make him the best man on the Raptors. He is often an arrow figure to mark the opponent, a typical representative of 3D.

Matt Barnes, a bum, what could he be expected to do?Maybe Sam didn't know, it was just an insurance policy.Joey Graham, this year's rookie, has outstanding physical talent, but his basketball IQ is worrying. Sam's tactical positioning, this guy is still half-understood, and his three-pointers are also unstable.

Shooting guard: Jaylen Rose, with comprehensive offensive skills and good defense, but his playing attitude has always been criticized, his personality is domineering, and he has some contradictions with Sam.JR Smith on the bench is a good guy. He is proficient in three-point breakthroughs, counterattacks, but his defense is not active, and his attitude is also a problem. This is one of the reasons why the New Orleans Hornets traded him.

Point guard position: Kyle Lowry, has a strong impact, and the combination of speed and strength makes his breakthrough unstoppable.Excellent defensive counterattack, good physical condition, calm mind on the field, tough offense, willing to confront, smart and hard-working defensively, the only shortcoming is unstable three-pointers.This was originally a windfall for the Raptors, and it is definitely worth cultivating, but judging from the current situation, it seems that this is not the case. He has been in trouble recently and the situation is constant, which is an uneasy factor.

Jose Calderon, has an excellent overall view, wide vision, passing is the first priority, rich experience in competitions, defensive talent is his flaw, single defense makes people very uneasy, but for the Raptors, they Picked up a bargain and has the power of starting point guard.Darrick Martin, only 180 cm tall, has fast speed and strong impact, but he is too short, which is an Achilles' heel.

The above is the final 15-man roster of the Raptors. Two Williams and temporary players have been given up by the team.

What's in this lineup?Except that they are young, their average age is less than 25 years old. As for the others, they seem to be gone.How far he can go, I'm afraid Sam himself has no idea. There are no big names or stars, and only a bunch of potential stocks in the growth stage. What can they be made into?Canadians don't expect too much about the results, and ESPN's prediction of 30 wins and 52 losses is within their acceptable range.

Kyle also thinks the same way. What he needs to do is to gain a firm foothold in the starting lineup, and then go one step further to become the real core of the backcourt.The record has been looked down upon, and Kyle can't do anything about it. Basketball is always a five-person sport. It's useless for him to shout slogans alone. The test is Sam's ability. He just needs to be obedient.But all of this requires stable data. What Kyle has to do is to brush up the data. You read that right, this is what he should do this season.

And the others!They all have their own ghosts.Bosh will be strengthened this season and become the real core. What he has to do is simple, work hard to collect statistics, and then try to win as many games as possible, but everything is focused on the former. Only when there are statistics can he be recognized.

Maurice Peterson is still a responsible guy. He has been doing his job conscientiously. He doesn't have much pursuit, and he can do whatever he wants. His contract year is still far away.Then Jaylen Rose is just the opposite. He can jump out of the contract next year and become a free agent, so getting a pension contract is his goal, and data is the most important thing to him.

If there is anyone who wants to win, it is Jamal Magloire, the guy who used to be a passive saboteur, but now he is the most motivated.The reason is simple, this is his hometown, the place where he grew up, he longs for the success of the team, he longs to bring glory to Toronto, as long as he wins, other things don't seem to matter, he is completely willing to make sacrifices and pay the price acceptable.This belief filled every cell in his body and flowed through his blood.Tomorrow's season opener, he will be the most active.

The structure of the Raptors is like this, and their tactics are not complicated.Everything is centered for Bosh, pick and roll!Run back!Air cuts are all about opening up space for Bosh, allowing him to more confidently send the ball into the basket.The first tactic is to pull everyone apart and Bosh singles.The second tactic is that Bosh holds the ball, and others run counter-cut, or pass or come by himself, the effect is the best.The third tactic, Kyle and Bosh pick and roll, Kyle has to do more is to return the ball and distribute the ball.The fourth tactic is double-high high-high high-low, or high-low pass and cut, which belongs to the cooperation of Jamal and Bosh.

Others, such as Jaylen Rose's breakthrough singles, Kyle's breakthrough singles, and Jamal's singles, are not conventional tactics. The work they do is just a branch, not a backbone. Occasionally, two goals are fine. This is called rich tactics. , if you keep doing this, then it's nonsense.
