Chapter 318 The Out of State Heat
The Raptors can be said to be the youngest team in the league, established and joined the NBA in 1995.

However, the speed of development is extremely rapid. In just ten years, there is already a faint shadow of a strong team.

Speaking of it, the Raptors and the Heat also have a bit of grievances. The Raptors' star and leader "Dragon King" Bosh left his hometown to the Heat to form the Big Three.

It's a pity that things are different now, and the Raptors have also found a new leader DeRozan. The "Dragon King" was in a semi-retired state due to illness.

In addition, Toronto is a very inclusive city. Half of the people in this Canadian city come from all over the world, with hundreds of nationalities.

This world is often pure to hurt the rich, but the rich can tolerate the simple.

The grievances between the Raptors and the Heat have long since disappeared with the years. Now every time Bosh goes to Toronto, the fans will give a very high voice.

This year, the Raptors performed well in the regular season and achieved second place in the Eastern Conference.

If you don't watch the NBA often, just look at the annual salary of the players, you don't even know why the Raptors got the second place in the Eastern Conference.

But everyone in the circle knows that the main players of the Raptors, as long as the contract comes, the annual salary will definitely skyrocket.

At this time, all members of the Heat also flew to Toronto to meet this "tyrannosaurus rex who can play".

For the strength of the Raptors, Lin Hao has a good understanding of the strength of Bob and Eric.

Two guns in the backcourt-Lowry, DeRozan, inside duo Valanciunas, Patterson.

The 29-year-old Lowry is at the peak of his physical fitness and has rich experience.

It can be said that it is the time when the players are at their sharpest when they need to have a body and a sense of consciousness.

But Lowry's 183cm height is a fatal flaw, and it has been made a big fuss by many teams.

DeRozan, 26 years old, 201cm tall, 100kg, not slow at all.

Able to shoot suddenly and score 30 points from time to time, he is the main force in the team.

It is worth mentioning that Valanciunas, a center trained by the Raptors.

213cm, 110kg, only 23 years old, the average data is close to a double-double.

More importantly, he can also shoot three-pointers, and his three-point shooting percentage is the highest in the team. Of course, Valanciunas doesn't take many shots.

Now Valanciunas has squeezed into the league's first-line center level, and his future is even more limitless.

Patterson is 206cm and 107kg. Patterson is also very young, only 26 years old.

Although the Raptors have been building a team for a long time, the integrity of the lineup is very strong, and the bench also has a certain depth.

This is also an important reason why the Raptors can get second in the Eastern Conference.

Next, this team, as long as it retains people and waits for the growth of young players, it will definitely become a first-tier team in the league.

Of course, there is still a certain distance to hit the championship.

"Well, it's your first time in Toronto." Wade said to Lin Hao with a smile.

"Yes, the climate here is very comfortable." Lin Hao nodded and said.

"It's really very livable here, but I still like Miami." Wade said, puffing up his big cheeks.

The next day, Lin Hao followed the team to the home court of the Raptors at night.

"Today, let's not use new tactics, just play according to the previous rhythm." Eric said to everyone in the locker room.

"Remember, make more mistakes."

"Hassan Whiteside, your task today is the top priority, you must hold on inside."

"No problem." Hassan Wyside said after a pause.

At [-] o'clock in the local night and [-] o'clock in the domestic morning, the game begins.

Raptors:

"Beep." The referee threw the basketball up.

Wyside didn't jump to the ball and was picked away by Valanciunas first.

Lin Hao watched Lowry, who was in control of the ball, carefully on the bench, although Lin Hao had also watched the video of Lowry.

But how does video compare to live viewing?
Lowry didn't know that at this time, every subtle movement of his own, even inadvertent habits, fell into Lin Hao's eyes meticulously.

In Lin Hao's mind, the video he watched at the beginning automatically appeared, and he compared it with Lowry at this time.

What changed?What hasn't changed?Lin Hao quickly analyzed Lowry's ball-handling habits thoroughly in his mind.

After Lowry took possession of the ball for halftime, facing Dragic, he did not rush to attack.

After slowly waiting for his teammates to get in position, he passed the ball to DeRozan.

After relying on Carroll's single block, DeRozan accelerated to get rid of Wade and faced Winslow who was defending.

DeRozan made a quick change of hands, sideways, and squeezed directly past Winslow.

Hassan Wyside had no choice but to make up the defense. DeRozan didn't even turn his head, and passed directly to the bottom corner.

Valanciunas was also in place at the same time, making the shot skillfully.

"brush."

3-0, the Raptors took the lead in getting off to a good start.

Next, the Raptors also played harder and harder, while the Heat seemed to have taken medicine collectively.

Hassan Whiteside, like a drunk, swayed left and right in the paint like a string doll.

Wade also tried two singles, but he didn't feel good and missed both.

Five minutes later, at 5:6, the Raptors made a fantastic start, and Eric couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout.

"What are you doing? It's like you haven't woken up." Eric roared.

"Winslow, wait a minute, shrink your defense and keep an eye on Patterson."

"And when I started the game, I said, play more misplaced."

"Dragic, you help Wade misplace on the outside and let him play Lowry. If you have a chance, you can force Lowry yourself." Eric patted the tactical board vigorously and said.

Eric finished urging again, and the timeout was up.

Eric was still calm, 12 points behind, and did not look at Lin Hao at all.

After the timeout, the state of the Heat's starters also began to pick up.

Wade successfully singled out Lowry in consecutive dislocations, and Dragic also came in hand.

The Heat played a 6-0 counterattack spurt, chasing the point difference to 6 points.

But Hassan Wyside was still a bit sluggish, and was robbed by Valanciunas in singles inside.

The defensive rebounds were not well protected, and the point difference was immediately opened up again.

Eric finally couldn't bear it and asked Stoudemire to replace Hassan Wyside.

After the first quarter, at 21:30, the Heat trailed by 9 points, and the poor Hassan Wyside scored only 8 point and 1 rebounds in 2 minutes of playing.

"What are you thinking about? As long as you make up the defense, you will reveal your flaws. The tight defense you trained before can't even see the shadow now."

The reason why the Heat are only 9 points behind now is that Lowry feels cold.

Missed all five shots. If Lowry's touch is a little better, the Heat are now 15 points behind.

"Lin Hao, wait for Winslow."

"On the offensive end, Wade, Lin Hao, Dragic, the cooperation between the three of you can be shown."

Hearing Eric's words, the eyes of Wade and Dragic lit up at the same time.

Both Wade and Dragic have been waiting for this day for a long time.
