Chapter 532 A Special Road to Rise
The road to the Raptors' rise is different from any other team in the NBA.First of all, their draft vision is very average. After Bosh was selected in 03, there were no good rookies until DeRozan. In 06, holding the No. 10 lottery, he did not choose Aldridge, but chose the Italian big man Bargnani.In addition, as the only team whose home court is outside the United States, they have a short history and a small market, so they have almost no advantage.In the past [-] years, none of the superstars considered them when they became free agents, and the "Dragon King" Bosh they cultivated so hard went south to Miami...
——Until, during the offseason of 2011, the Raptors gave what was considered a super premium contract to a yellow-skinned young player from China who had not yet proved himself. It's flooded."Facts have proved that Yingxiong averaged 32.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.1 blocks last season, shooting 51.2% from the field, 3% from the three-point range, and 42.5% from the free throw. MVP.
But looking back now, it is really impressive that a rebuilding team has such courage.
The Raptors used a gamble to get a superstar and completed the reconstruction in an instant.Therefore, their road to rise is the only one in the entire NBA league, with no branches.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Along Gray, power forward - Ed Davis, small forward - DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - — Jeremy Lin.
The starting lineup of the Warriors in the away game is: center - Andrew Bogut, power forward - David Lee, small forward - Harrison Barnes, shooting guard - Klay Thompson, point guard - Stephen Curry .
The players in the Warriors team also include Yingxiong’s former teammates, such as Bogut and Richard Jefferson, who were his big brothers in the Bucks. After meeting each other, they are still very enthusiastic. The relationship between each other Not bad either.
Bogut and Allong Gray prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
Allong Gray beat Bogut with a jump ball, and Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled over.
Jeremy Lin and Along Gray pick and roll at the top of the arc, and suddenly split the right wing Yingxiong.
The one defending Yingxiong is the Warriors' rookie this season, Harrison Barnes, nicknamed "North Carolina Blackhawk".
Barnes is 203cm tall, has excellent physical fitness, can shoot and hold the ball, has good defensive talent and works hard, and is a potential No. 3 player.
Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked Barnes to defend Yingxiong. He didn't expect him to be able to defend the opponent. Instead, he used the team's starting player with the best physical condition to match the opponent's ace. Learn something from the other side.For a rookie, being able to play against the top players in the league is a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity.
Ying Xiong received the ball and shot a feint. Barnes didn't know if he was too nervous, and was easily sent flying.
Ying Xiong cut in with the ball, facing David Lee's help defense, changed direction with his crotch to his right hand, and used his speed to score a layup with one hand and low hand!
As soon as Ying Xiong came up, he gave the opponent's rookie a note of Mawei!
Stephen Curry dribbles slowly over.Since Monta Ellis was traded by the team, the team has been built around him.He has excellent ball-handling ability and the top shooting ability in the 1st position. If it weren't for injuries, he wouldn't be playing slowly until now.
Facing his old teammate Jeremy Lin, Curry used the pick-and-roll and skillful dribbling to split out Klay Thompson. The latter caught the ball after hanging a screen at the top of the left arc, and made a direct 3-point shot-a direct hit!
Klay Thompson's physical fitness is average, but in terms of shooting ability, he must have a place in the league's No. 2 position.
The athletic ability of the starting lineup of the Warriors is very average, and it can even be said to be poor. Except for Harrison Barnes, the athletic ability of the other four players is below the average level of the league in their positions.But their style of play is very team, and the cooperation between the players is very tacit. Because they have sharp shooters, they have a lot of off-ball screens in the offense.
Jeremy Lin came over with a dribble and gave it to DeRozan. The latter caught the pick-and-roll and rushed to the basket and gave it to Ed Davis. Ed Davis made a layup with his left hand and was blocked by Bogut.
Ying Xiong grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to Jeremy Lin at the top of the front arc. The latter directly fired a 3-hit!The two high fived and it was a good 2 downs.
Ying Xiong knows very well that Jeremy Lin was once cut by the Warriors, so he very much hopes to perform well in the game against the Warriors.As his teammate and friend at the same time, naturally he should help him when the time is right.
David Lee hit Ed Davis with his back in the waist, causing the latter's thug foul!His offensive ability is really good. He has already shown good talent in the Knicks. It is the defense that limits him from becoming a better player. In the Warriors, with defensive center Bogut as an inside partner, he can make up for it to the greatest extent. His deficiencies on the defensive end.
David Lee made two free throws and the two sides drew!
Jeremy Lin dribbles over, picks and rolls with Aaron Gray at the top of the arc, then breaks through with the ball, and then points down to Aaron Gray, who scores a layup under the basket!
Curry's defense is not good, because of his physical fitness, he does not have the conditions to be a top defender.But he is not a defensive loophole, his position and single defense are still passable, and the defender's defense is generally not fatal.
Jeremy Lin's pick-and-roll offensive ability is indeed very good. He uses the pick-and-roll to cut the ball or layup, which is very lethal.
The two sides entered a state of confrontation.For the Raptors, Ying Xiong played off the ball, and Jeremy Lin was responsible for organizing the offense. He was in very good form in this campaign, and he was very efficient in both personal and organizational offenses.
In this game, Aaron Gray almost played the best form of the season. He played a "two-player" with Jeremy Lin on the offensive end, almost with a shot, which made the No. [-] pick Bogut extremely embarrassed.
The Warriors play team basketball, with scattered scoring points on the court, and everyone gets points.In this game, their starting 5-man team scored in double figures and played a beautiful offense.
However, the Warriors couldn't guard Ying Xiong and Jeremy Lin, and they couldn't even guard Along Gray in this game.Therefore, it is reasonable to lose.
The Raptors won at home. Ying Xiong scored 25 points and 8 rebounds. Jeremy Lin scored 19 points and a season-high 14 assists to help the team defeat the former team that had laid off him.
After repelling the Warriors at home, the Raptors ushered in a 3-game winning streak, and their record also came to 36 wins and 9 losses.The regular season has played 45 games, halfway through, and the team's running-in is getting better and better.
