Chapter 137: Perfect Debut (Already Hit the Pacific!) )

"Kyle! Today is the beginning of your career, what can you say? "After the game, Lorne, as the biggest media personality of the day, must have been interviewing the best player of the game.

"It's an amazing feeling, I'm hungry to compete, I'm hungry to win, but unlike university, the people here aren't friendly." Kyle replied truthfully.

"Alright! Tell us about your conflict with Artest! It was a turning point, and I think everybody was very interested to know what was going on? ”

"Discuss the game with him." Kyle didn't blush and didn't breathe as he popped out this perfunctory sentence, and saw Lorne roll his eyes violently, looking resentful, and that expression seemed to say, you know! Kyle could only shake his head and say helplessly, "I just asked about what happened in the 'Auburn Hills Palace Incident' last year, and then he threw his fist at him, and that's all." ”

Looking at Kyle's scared look, Lorne sighed in his heart that Kyle's "actor" talent was bursting. He didn't dwell on that episode, after all, he was his own person, and he couldn't hold on to it, and continued to ask about the game, "So what do you think you won in the end?" ”

"It's mainly because the coach encouraged and spurred us on before the game. We did our best, we wanted to win, my teammates played well, they were tough defensively, you know, the Pacers were strong, but we were unafraid and we did it and we won this game. Kyle gave a testimonial as if he were endorsing.

"A little personal question, why do you stubbornly change to a jersey?" This number was originally Alston, and Kyle asked for a change to the No. 7 shirt when he left, and his attitude was very resolute, and many people didn't understand, why is this?

"For no reason, my birthday number is on that day, and so is my mother." Kyle certainly can't tell Lorne that he's paying tribute to that Kyle in the afterlife.

"The last question is about you, are you happy with your performance tonight? Whether it can be maintained or not, the Raptors' team history is very short, but there are still two seniors who won the best rookie award, do you want to attack it? ”

"I'm feeling pretty good, at least tonight, Rookie of the Year? I think every newcomer wants to take it into their arms, and I'm no exception. ”

“OK! Thank you for your cooperation! Go and enjoy the joy of victory with your teammates. Lorne sent a signal of goodwill.

"Thank you! I think it's going to happen many nights in the future. ”

After the interview, Kyle sneaks back into the locker room to wash up.

The reason why Kyle was able to put a fork on that ground was only after Artest was sent off. Without this powerful point reveal, Kyle can suddenly and pass whenever he wants, and he and Bosh block and bang bang, and everything becomes simpler. No matter how Carlisle makes substitutions and adjustments, it can't make up for Artest's role and influence, the score is getting closer and closer, O'Neal Jr. is under more and more defensive pressure, Kyle breaks through and makes the Pacers have tons of damage, and no one can really stop it. In the first five minutes of the final game, their tense nerves completely collapsed, and in the end, the Raptors won the opening game at home, defeating the Pacers 108-102.

Kyle scored a game-high 26 points, shot 9-of-19, and had a quasi-triple-double of 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 4 steals, shooting 47 percent. But Kyle knows that this is mostly due to luck, and of course strength is also indispensable. He took advantage of the slackness of the Pacers in the opening game to score 7 points in a row, and had 9 points and 4 assists in the first quarter. In the following period, until Artest was sent off, he only scored 2 points, which can be said to be very bleak, especially in the minutes when Artest defended, Kyle did not score a point and had zero assists, you can see the clues, Artest's skills are indeed profound, and he completely relies on his personal ability to break the Raptors' offensive system.

Bosh scored 23 points and 10 rebounds, in addition to 13 points in the first quarter to be praised, and only scored 10 points in the second three quarters, with a 45% shooting rate, and an overall excellent performance, completing his task as he should have done. Jamal also had 12 points and eight rebounds, Peterson also had 15 points, and Jalen Rose, the bastard, had a bad hand today, scoring a measly 4 points on 2-of-9 shooting. JR Smith on the bench also scored in double figures, but he only scored 10 points on 10 shots, which is hard to say that it is outstanding and decent.

The highest scorer on the Pacers' side was O'Neal Jr., with 23 points and 12 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of over 50%. Artest also scored 17 points in a little more halftime, and his impact on the defensive end is not visible. Jeff Foster had 10 points and 7 rebounds, and Jackson continued to live for the Pacers in the final quarter, scoring 13 points and contributing 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. Tinsley was much more bleak, with 4 points and 2 assists, and was an invisible presence among the starters. They were relatively well balanced off the bench and no one could score in double figures.

There are also two first-round picks that have to be mentioned, that is, Danny Granger and Joey Graham, one with 5 points and one with 2 points, this game has little to do with them, both are first-round picks, the gap is too big to look at directly, it is Kyle who is compared to the two of them. What is the difference between a substitute and a starter? A difference of 10 places? The reason for the different locations? No! Strength is king.

For Kyle, his debut was perfect, but also regrettable, because his old buddy Smith signed with the Pacers, but was tragically devolved to the Development League, Kyle missed the opportunity to ravage him back and forth, what a pity!

Tonight is definitely something to celebrate for the Canadians, who are most happy to rekindle their hopes for the future. Kyle's debut was unexpected, and he showed potential that was no match for the departed Vince, and if he used the first game alone, he could knock out all the predecessors of the Raptors. Even in the long history of the NBA, it is definitely excellent.

And in this game, there is such a heavyweight who watched the whole thing in the box, and that is Timothy Lewick, CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Group, who is also the actual controller of the Raptors. He's not here to fan Kyle, the team's record has plummeted after the loss of Vince Carter, and the new season has not improved, and he is already impatient with Sam and McCloskey, and is ready to go under the knife against them. He came here today just to see where Bosh had grown, so that he could plan better.

Unexpectedly, Kyle came out to steal the show, Timothy was interested, and he muttered for a long time, and he was ready to talk to his two men. (To be continued.) )
