Chapter 240: The Future Champion Team
The Cavaliers are currently 23-10 and fourth in the East. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info At present, they are unable to attack the first place, and the Pistons are now only losing six games, which is better than the Spurs' record, the first in the league, and the momentum is going to be 60 wins. As another team in the same division, they are just as tragic as the Mavericks, no matter how good the record, he can only lie on his stomach in the fourth.
And the Raptors in the back are also unable to attack the fourth, which is really a bit far away. In this game, the Raptors belong to back-to-back, and it is even more difficult to win, the gap in strength, the disadvantage in physical fitness, or playing away, makes people unanimously not optimistic about the Raptors to win.
But because of the heated discussion caused by the penalty in the last game, it is still fermenting, and now the two teams are reunited, Kyle and James are talking about the sky, Cleveland and Toronto are constantly abused, which makes the heat of this game close to the participation of the whole people, and all kinds of topics are non-stop, and this game has become one of the most anticipated games recently.
Cleveland is a small city, far from Toronto, Milwaukee, and a country farm compared to New York and Los Angeles. There are not many residents, there are many diehards, and the ball market is not hot, and this is the situation in Cleveland.
After many years of fish belly identity, now that the "emperor" has finally grown up, they are extremely looking forward to the team's historic breakthrough. James has the quality, and this season, he has proven his ability, he has become a superstar, and he can become the league's top name if he wins a championship and wins the regular season Most Valuable Player award. And now he is working hard in that direction.
Kyle and James are different, 23+9+5+ in the first season, what is this statistic? Data on top players. Take a look at other top players in the same position, "Son of the Wind" Nash 18+10+3+, "Scoring Maniac" Iverson 32+7+3+, "Agent Zero" Arenas 29+6+4, champion point guard Parker 18+6+, all of the above are famous first-class players, the core backcourt of the playoffs, is Kyle's technical statistics worse than them? Is the role less influential than theirs? Not bad at all.
Secondly, the team is also making great progress under his leadership, and is expected to return to the playoffs after three years, and his arrival has completely made up for the vacancy of Carter's departure, whether it is the team's strength, influence, or the fans' sense of belonging or recognition, it has completely erased that heartbroken past. Now Kyle is the absolute number one in Toronto, and the effect of his arrival is very great, the Raptors have become the focus of heated discussions in North America, and after a year of silence, they have once again come into people's sight, the Canadian Route Center Stadium is almost full, the jerseys and peripherals are selling quite well, and the advertising sponsorship is endless, which can be seen. What has invisibly affected is that Canada finally has its own well-known representative figures, and the effect of bringing about all aspects is absolutely immeasurable.
It's only Kyle's first season, and he's done it all by showing a potential that no one can compete for, and that's why he's the best in the league in the future. If he makes it to the All-Star starter, or even leads the team further, a little bit to realize his potential, and continue to improve, then his influence will be even greater, and within three or five seasons, he will become a player who will dominate the next decade, let alone surpass Jordan, at least be labeled great, which is almost predictable.
Who won such statistics in the first season? James 20+5+5, Jordan 28+5+6, Duncan 20+10, O'Neal 23+12, this is the most outstanding representative of the first season individual show in modern times. And if you can get into the playoffs with such data, you can almost put it into the god position in advance. The point guards who scored such data to enter the playoffs are almost extinct, and Iverson's data is barely comparable, 23+7+4+, but the playoffs! Where did the 22-60 playoffs come from?
Therefore, Kyle's momentum at this stage is no worse than James, and their collision is destined to attract national attention. Especially the mouth cannon, it is even more eye-catching!
This game is still broadcast live in the United States, the Cavaliers and Raptors have only been noticed this year, and they have entered the public eye.
Barkley and Smith's partner.
"This is our third game for Kyle, LeBron's fifth, old man, say hello! We're all old friends! Kenny asked first.
"Kyle! A kid who was once mocked by you, but now he is one of the most prominent players in the league, think about when he fought Steve, he was looked down upon by everyone, but now, those voices are all gone, and he uses his strength to shatter all doubts. We almost watched him grow, step by step, extremely strong and steadfast. Barkley sighed.
"I'm here to correct you, you were one of the people who mocked him at the time."
"That's not the point I'm going to make, okay? Buddy! What I'm going to talk about now is his efforts! His growth! We are fortunate to see that he will be a great member. β
"Of course!" I remember the scene when he first mocked Kyle, but after two months, everyone kept their mouths shut. Kenny added, "In retrospect, how prescient Thomas was! It's just sharp-eyed and willing to trade the whole team for Kyle, and I'm starting to admire him now. β
"It's a fact! His vision is indeed vicious enough, but it's a pity that he couldn't bring Kyle to New York, which is really a pity. Now Kyle and the Knicks seem to be incompatible, Spike's motivation makes people speechless, what is he not doing well, he has to block Kyle's road to New York. β
"And LeBron?"
"He's been in the spotlight since he entered the league and he's exploded this year, but he's been at a distance from Kyle, I mean the sneaker contract, and he's been overwhelmed by Kyle in that regard."
"It's also true that LeBron didn't have as good a first season as Kyle, and I even want to go a little far."
"Yes! But they're on the same level now, so there's a lot to watch in this game. Recall the last game, when the Raptors lost and all four of them were sent off, including head coach Sam and Kyle, who fouled in the final moments. I watched the video, the problem of punishment is really unbearable, it is the right choice for Toronto to leave the field, look at the current days, the referee's penalty scale is fairer, it is very accurate, there are no obvious omissions and misjudgments, this is their victory, the progress of the league. Kyle definitely has a different credit. β
"That's right! Kyle unmistakably pointed out LeBron's steps, and he said it bluntly. Then LeBron quits, and here the argument begins, but the fine is unprecedented. β
"What we need to discuss is that this is an important page in the history of the league, with rumors that the league is ready to make changes to the referees, cameras on the pitch, and game replays! If it does, the Raptors and Cavaliers will be remembered. β
"Alright! That's all we have to talk about, the players are coming out! Kenny began.
"I'm really looking forward to the two of them going to face each other right now, regardless of whether the fight is won or lost." Barkley was serious, "I've been impatient with LeBron for a long time, but there's no denying that he's tough. β
"That's it! I know you don't like LeBron, can you discuss the lineups on both sides now? β
"The outside media has already analyzed it, what else do we need to say?"
"All aspects, including the substitutions!"
"In my opinion, it's basically equal, the Cavaliers' Marshall, Damon Jones, Anderson Vallejo, Alexander Pavlovich, plus the main five, this is their normal rotation lineup, they have good experience and talent in all aspects, and they cooperate very well, but the three-point ability is really unacceptable, and other aspects are really very competitive."
"Uh-huh!"
"The Raptors, on the other hand, have more options. First of all, I'd like to mention one guy, Jalen Rose! He's falling so fast, and if he can maintain half of last season's level, the Raptors will be even better, and third place in the East won't be out of the question. Secondly, Joey is another gain in the Raptors draft, his defense and body have helped the team, he can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, and the starting position is the best compliment for him. Also on the bench were J.R. Smith, Matt Barnes, Jose CalderΓ³n, Reggie Evans, Matt Bonner, each with their own characteristics, and they were working harder for playing time, not forgetting Antonio, a veteran. There are a lot of options, you can put on different lineups for different team characteristics, maybe next season, they will grow up more terrifying. β
"So you think the Raptors have a better chance?"
"Don't you think so?"
"They're back-to-back, and they were beaten at home by the Cavaliers last time, don't you take those factors into account?"
"Please! In the last game, without the help of the referee, you think they could have won, I can say very clearly, it was a dream. β
"Wow wow! Sir Charles! You're so bold to say it so bluntly. β
"It's a fact, and the Raptors are going to be ashamed today, trust me."
"Alright! The game begins, let's see what happens? β
As the whistle blew and the crowd in Cleveland booed, the battle officially began.
Ilgoskas jump ball is still very reliable, the Cavaliers first attack.
Snow took the ball and pushed it into the halfcourt, or gave it to James. In the face of Joey's black and hard stinky stone, James was no longer at ease, he encountered obstacles in his first breakthrough, and he couldn't go deeper, so he could only give Ilgoskas who was back to block and dismantle, the latter hung out, and finally chose to cast himself, Jamal was fully prepared this time, and he retreated and ironed!
Bosh took the rebound, passed to the galloping Kyle, then turned and passed, the speed did not decrease, increased the horsepower, sprinted with all his might, flew to the basket, and succeeded!
In the face of James's angry eyes, arrogant momentum, and the wild boos of the fans, to be honest, Kyle is quite thinking about this game. He desperately wanted to defeat this opponent and save face, because victory is the most convincing.
came back Hughes and slammed against Peterson, but somehow, after a long absence, he still no longer loved the breakthrough, and was actually stealed by Peterson in a daze! Another fast break, Kyle and Joey perform an empty catch! The latter slammed the dunk.
In the face of the Raptors' preemptiveness, James was unhappy, Kyle was already a thorn in his heart, and he would never allow him to lose face on his own turf, so when he came back, he began to throw his face at his partner. Hughes cowered on the surface, silently, and not very happy in his heart. When he was in the Wizards, he was absolutely good at speaking, and he belonged to one of the leading stars, and the second leader was after he left, Arenas broke out with people's voices. But now in the Knights, Nima is angry every day, and the data is like today's stock market, falling again and again, he can be happy to see hell! Nothing good except for a lot of money!
James still came by himself, rushed into it after breaking through, and everyone in the Raptors was prepared, and the two big Joeys on the inside contracted the restricted area. James ignored it and made a tough layup, in exchange for a big blood cap, and was slapped dizzy by Jamal.
Kyle, who picked up the ball, accelerated again, passed like a pile, without the slightest intention of pausing, dodged and jumped, and picked up the basket again under the basket. It also caused Snow's foul, 2+1!
There are also additional penalties! At this time, everyone in the quick loan center was silent, the earlier momentum was gone, and the boos were powerless.
James began to turn pale, very unhappy, extremely unhappy! In just a few rounds, Kyle has already scored 5 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound. The team ate zero eggs, trailing by 7 points, and the most important thing is that he ate zero eggs, and he was capped.
"See? LeBron gets capped! I'm not wrong about the beautiful big hat, the Raptors still have the advantage. Barkley yelled and began to fan the flames.
"That's true, but what I see is the credit of Joey and Morris, who are both clearly in their role in blocking each other's stars on the outside, Larry and LeBron are both restrained, let's be honest! The Raptors are more balanced offensively and defensively. They have a breakthrough and three points! There is a defense and a strategy! The interior also has attacking power and they are aggressive today in a way that they didn't have before. Kenny choked out, too.
"In my opinion, the Raptors definitely have the quality of the top five, and as long as this lineup and Chris and Kyle continue to improve, they will have the quality to win the championship in the next ten years."
"You're not kidding? Did I hear me right? Their top-five strength? Would you like me to list the top five teams? Spur! Piston! Heat! Calf! Sun! What do you think? Winning the championship is not easy, and our great Sir Charles doesn't have a championship ring! Come on! β
"Don't make fun of me, okay? I've been in the league for so many years, and I still have this vision! Of course! This is my personal opinion, as for whether you agree with it or not, let's talk about it! β
"I agree with that, after all, a player who doesn't have a championship ring will always have fantasies about the players he likes." Kenny nodded earnestly, leaving Barkley speechless! Na Na no words! Champion! It's always been his thorn, although he often makes fun of it himself. (To be continued.) )
