Chapter 161 Warm Toronto

Although the weather in Toronto is cold, it is still warm at the Raptors' home court.

Not only is the air conditioner turned on, but also the warm fans here, DeRozan is home!

After dedicating his nine years in the Raptors, the Raptors management finally chose to trade. The welcome from the Raptors management this time can be regarded as the previous compensation.

The big screen played a full 9 minutes of video, 1 minute a season, DeRozan is growing and proving himself one year at a time.

But Popovich doesn't like it very much. This kind of emotional card is not a good thing for a player with hidden dangers of depression.

The performance on the court was just as Popovich said, DeRozan is struggling a bit now, the official timeout in the first quarter, the Raptors lead 17 to 15 by 2 points.

Xiao Hang has not yet started to attack, mainly to sort out the team. Murray, who returned from injury, performed well, scoring 4 points in a breakthrough and mid-range, and Adelaide also scored 5 points, but unfortunately he missed a free throw.

Xiao Hang made 2 of 1 shots with a 3-pointer, Gasol hit a 2+1, which was all the Spurs scored in 5 minutes, and DeRozan missed all 3 shots, and his state was a bit confused.

During this timeout, Belinelli replaced DeRozan, Ade went to center, and Bertans played.

For the Raptors, Ibaka replaced Valanciunas as the pseudo-starter, and formed a super-mobile striker combination with Siakam. The main purpose is to contain Xiao Hang. to the outside line.

DeRozan seems to be out of DeRozan's consideration.

After Xiao Hang took the medicine, his nose felt much more comfortable, but the low-grade fever still made him feel a little dizzy, and he was just looking for a state after not attacking much for 5 minutes.

Moreover, Mr. Ka does defend well, and his defensive posture, harassment, etc. are obviously higher than other players, so Jordan said that Mr. Ka is now the best player in both offense and defense. It is true.

Of course, Jordan has a bad eye for rookies, but Mr. Joe has never missed this kind of players who have already exchanged their talents for talent. Looking at his AJ series players, they are not at the All-Star level.

After the timeout, the two sides continue, and the Raptors have the ball.

Lowry dribbled the ball across half court and gave it to Kawhi outside the left three-point line.

Facing Xiao Hang, Kawaii made a tentative breakthrough from the left, followed by a back-up dribble, and made a three-step layup.

The Spurs' current ability to protect the inside line can't really do much harm to Kawhi. The ball bounced twice on the rim and fell into the net.

Murray received the serve. After halftime, Xiao Hang and Belinelli crossed the bottom line. Murray made a fake pass to Xiao Hang to help Xiao Hang attract the defense, and then passed it to Belinelli who slipped to the left corner and the three-point line. Rinelli.

The first three-pointer after the injury, is there any?

"Shua—" Murray and Belinelli are currently playing very well in the two returning teams from injury.

Lowry also cooperated with Kawhi here, just like the Spurs, Green got a chance at the corner three-point line.

"Boom—" But today Green's touch has not yet opened, and he missed the previous goal.

Ibaka took off the offensive rebounds and averaged 3.7 offensive rebounds per game, which is not fake.

Pass to Lowry, and Murray is a shot.

It's a pity that he still didn't make it, and this time Ade controlled the rebound.

Murray took control of the ball and threw it directly to Xiao Hang who was already in the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Xiao Hang took a step forward and swayed his shoulders left and right. Pull up jumper.

Yes, the Spurs lead by one point. It seems that the biggest problem for the Spurs is DeRozan. They can't score on the court, and they can't do much in defense. People who value emotions have such weaknesses.

There is nothing wrong with the Raptors' off-the-board move. It not only gained the reputation but also achieved the desired effect. Popovich could only shrug his shoulders helplessly on the sidelines. He would not take the initiative to talk to DeRozan about this. Problem, DeRozan will certainly not admit it.

"Shua—" This time the Raptors seized the opportunity. Teacher Ka and Ibaka cooperated inside and outside to cover. Lowry broke through and scored the ball. 22 to 20
Murray continued to dribble, Ade put up the screen, changed direction in front of his body, and cut sideways into the penalty area. Murray made a fake fax shot to slow Ibaka a step, and Murray avoided the block by relying on his wingspan , Low hand basketball into.

It seems that White's average of 8.9 points and 38% three-point shooting percentage during Murray's recovery period put him under pressure.

In the first quarter without DeRozan, you come and go. In the last minute, the Spurs called a timeout first. DeRozan, Gay, and Poeltl came on, and Adelaide, Bertans, and Murray were off. rest.

Here for the Raptors, Varan, Van Fleet, Annanoby, and CJ Myers play, and Lowry, Kawhi, Green, and Siakam leave the court to rest.

The lineup of the two sides obviously has the advantage of the Spurs, but DeRozan is a bit stuck on the court.

Van Fleet made a three-pointer under DeRozan's supervision, and the Spurs gave DeRozan a chance, but continued to hit the iron.

32 to 28, at the end of the first quarter, the Raptors led by 4 points.

The second quarter began soon, and DeRozan finally scored. He caused a foul by Varan in the breakthrough, made 2 of 1 free throws, and scored the first point of the game. However, he has scored 5 of the previous 0 shots.

Because Xiao Hang was not in good condition, he did not play in the second quarter and was replaced by Mills.

DeRozan should play a leading role at this time, but he fell into the way he played the Cavaliers in the playoffs last season, weak and weak.

Only Lowry knows what his good brother is thinking. Although the Spurs are opponents and his good brother is in the enemy line, he can't see his good brother playing against him in such a state.

In the third and a half minutes of the second quarter, when the Raptors made a free throw, they made a player change and Lowry played.

Miles made a free throw, the Spurs kicked off, and Lowry went up against DeRozan at this time.

"Knowing that our Raptors were chased by the Celtics for only one game, so today we are proud of the water?" Lowry said very seriously.

As a good brother, DeRozan certainly knew why Lowry said this, he didn't speak.

"You are now a Spurs player, please show your professional attitude and be worthy of the salary they pay you." Lowry continued to provoke DeRozan.

Still deadpan, DeRozan moved on and caught the ball from Mills.

Three threats face Lowry.

The former good brothers are now 1-on-1, and the other players have pulled away sensibly, and the Raptors home fans are also watching the 1-on-1 with their necks straightened.

DeRozan tried a few steps with his right foot, and at the same time taking back the third step, he suddenly felt heavy and walked directly to Lowry's left. Singled out.

DeRozan couldn't pass the first step, but he was not in a hurry. He took advantage of the opportunity to dribble with his back and cut to Lowry's right hand, then turned around and came back again. I can only watch my good brother jump shot.

"Shua—" There it is!
And the Raptors fans couldn't hold back their applause at this time. The warmest thing in this world is the group of people who love you.
