Chapter 130: The Debut
Kyle's daily trajectory has changed slightly, in addition to refining qi, shooting drills, adding elastic bands, punching bags, heel walking, and most importantly, weighted squats.
On November 13, Kyle made his NBA debut against the Indiana Pacers.
To say that the Indians are really unlucky, the Miller era was pressed by Jordan, and there was no room for turning over. At the beginning of the new century, especially in the 03-04 season, the team ushered in the peak under the leadership of O'Neal Jr., Artest and Miller Sr., with a super record of 61 wins and 21 losses, and the playoffs and the Pistons, the champion of the year, fought at the top of the East, and lost six games later and missed the finals.
Originally, they should have gone further, but soon after the start of the new season, the infamous "Auburn Hills Palace Incident" completely destroyed them, Artest was banned for 73 games, and he missed the rest of the season, Stephen Jackson was banned for 30 games, which is also a very serious punishment, O'Neal Jr. was banned for 15 games, the three cores were poisoned by Skill, and the once best in the East collapsed instantly, and they only achieved a 44-38 record that season, It is only in sixth place in the East.
From the up-and-coming title contenders to the average powerhouse, they quickly degenerated, and Miller Sr. retired in disgrace. This season they have regrouped and are ready to make another impact, but it is clear that the "Auburn Hills Palace Incident" is still bothering them, and by the end of the new season, they have only a 3-3 record, which is far below their expectations, and the Pacers are in a turbulent phase with rumours around their players.
Of course! The Raptors are not much better, with a record of 1-4 in the first five games, showing their true colors, and the Portland Trail Blazers, who only killed the same belly on the road, basically belong to the ranks of the servants in people's perception.
The Raptors have played all three home games, and now it seems that their chances of winning today are still small, but Kyle's comeback is still a big spot. As a rookie with the Raptors' seventh pick, there are high hopes for him.
The game is about to begin, and the crowd is looking forward to it. Kyle looked around, the colorful flags fluttering, the crowd surging, the momentum shook, because the playing field was so big, the audience seats were like a ladder up and down, surrounded by Kyle, looking up from the bottom up, barely able to see the top. In the middle of the quadripartite screen ceiling court, every moment of the game is recorded in an all-round way, which is a unique feature of the NBA, and there are not many basketball courts in the university that can achieve such shock, except for those top giants.
The starting lineup of the Pacers includes center Jeff Foster, power forward O'Neal Jr., small forward Artest, scoring guard Stephen Jackson, and point guard Jamal Tinsley.
The Raptors' starting lineup, center Jamal Magloyer, power forward Bosh, small forward Peterson, scoring guard Jalen Rose, and point guard Kyle to replace Calderon, this is the lineup that has been rehearsed in the team's training games.
The whistle blew, the game officially began, the jump ball Jamal was better, Kyle kicked his legs and ran after taking the ball, trying to give the Pacers a knife when the opponent's defensive formation was not completed, but unfortunately the NBA is the NBA, its competitive oppression is not comparable to the university, Kyle sneak attack failed, obediently waiting for his teammates to fall into place.
"Rookie! What are you waiting for? Let's move. Tinsley spoke up to cheer Kyle on.
"I guess you won't wake up when I move." Kyle speaks intimidating, then gives the ball to Boss Bosh and runs himself.
Tinsley shut his mouth in a huff and obediently followed Kyle in circles. West's example is in front of him, I heard that he almost died, Tinsley is very bold, but no matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to really provoke this ruthless man, a lesson from the past, Kyle's reputation is famous, no one will easily brush his tiger whiskers, that's really not a joke, this is a kind of deterrent.
The thin Bosh obviously has no advantage over the chubby O'Neal Jr., don't look at O'Neal Jr. is fat, but at this time, he is still quite flexible. Kyle helped Bosh, who stopped the ball, answer twice, and there was not much time left, Bosh hit his shoulder twice, stepped back and turned over for a jumper, iron!
Back Tinsley tries to break through, but he encounters all the problems that he has been against Kyle, and is held back by Kyle with his body weight, and he can't move forward at all. But Tinsley still didn't believe in evil, and he was squeezed suddenly. Kyle used his longer arm span to hit his chest and then everything, took the ball and ran to the frontcourt, Kyle successfully broke zero for the Raptors.
Tinsley controlled the ball and pushed it across the halfcourt, Artest deliberately fell behind, glaring at Tinsley, obviously dissatisfied with the ball just now. Tinsley didn't feel any dissatisfaction, just nodded in agreement. From this, it can be known that Artest is still hungry for victory, and he is still very authoritative on the Pacers, or a bully.
This time, Tinsley didn't dare to mess around, handed the ball to O'Neal Jr., and the nimble fat man used his footwork and strength to shake left and right, and then turned around and passed Bosh and put the basket in!
Kyle took the ball and ran to the frontcourt, blocked and dismantled with Bosh, shook off Tinsley, stepped forward, and no one helped to make up for it? Kyle is flustered, so good, so what are you waiting for, jumping from two steps under the basket, taking off into the air and heading straight for the basket. Jeff Foster confirmed Kyle's jump, and he flew up to capsit, putting his hands on the ball.
Kyle encountered a lot of this situation, he folded his belly in the air, flashed sideways, switched to his left hand to flick the ball, the ball grazed the board, rolled into the basket, and added two more points.
Off-site offense and defense, or O'Neal Jr., this time the Raptors chose to help defend and pinch the attack, the Pacers could only pass the ball, and finally Artest tried for three points, no!
Kyle grabbed the rebound in the middle of the crowd and started the acceleration. The Pacers learned a lesson, retreating quickly, except for two interior players who were slightly slower, and three outside players shrank near the free throw line with Kyle's rapid advancement, ready to block Kyle who rushed up, this is the right choice, and this is the way for teams to deal with defensive counterattacks, especially when the person with the ball is not very good at three-point shooting.
Seeing the three of them line up and move back, Kyle glanced at his teammates, feeling annoyed, these guys were all waiting for Kyle to pass the ball outside the three-point line, what a waste of his expression. Kyle's foot suddenly retracted as he stepped into the three-point line, and without hesitation, he jumped out of his hand, and Jackson flew to pounce, but he was defenseless and could only watch as Kyle's ball flew over his head and towards the basket.
Three points, in!
To everyone's surprise! Kyle can have three points, confused! Here's what everybody thinks. Kyle's three-point shooting ability is well known to the Raptors, but he actually threw it, which has to be amazing, especially Sam, who gave a thumbs up in his heart, if Kyle can maintain this smooth three-point level, then the Raptors' path will be much broader.
(PS: Every basketball novel is a game, one game after another, the season ends, and then the reinforcement begins, an infinite loop, two seasons later, this novel is over, this is the traditional way of writing, basically all basketball texts are like this.) I don't know how it would feel if you all looked at it like this? Will you see vomit? The main line of the small steel cannon is basketball, which will never change, but boxing is the auxiliary line, and this is my setting. Please don't get tangled up, why did I write so many boxing transitions! Don't talk about me, if you think you can accept boxing, you can continue to look down, look carefully, you will see a different sport, understand boxing, maybe you will like boxing from now on. I can't accept it, I feel nondescript, and I can't do anything about it. This is an idea that I have been thinking about for two years, and I will not change, I hope to write a basketball essay that is different from others, and Servant Street is also an attempt, and I am willing to pounce on my innovation. )
