Yi Feng was taught by Kobe Bryant and benefited a lot.

Sure enough, there is an old man in the family, such as a treasure. He plans to ask Kobe Bryant often for advice in the future, such a great teacher is placed there, and it will be wasted if he doesn't ask for advice.

After enjoying a rare vacation, the Lakers will face the challenge of the Toronto Raptors.

The Toronto Raptors, one of the youngest teams in the NBA, was founded in 1995 and joined the NBA in the 1995-1996 season.

The Raptors are the only team in the NBA to be based outside of the United States. This makes it a bitter cold place in the eyes of many football stars. Canada is to Americans what Siberia is to Chinese.

The Raptors have a short history and haven't had many stars. Vince Carter, Chris Bosh, and maybe Maddie. Maddy's situation is somewhat peculiar, he didn't become a star when he played for the Raptors.

The Raptors, who are only 20 years old, are not very competitive in the East. Their best result was only reaching the semifinals of the playoffs, and like São Paulo, they didn't even touch the floor of the divisional finals.

In 2010, after the Dragon King Bosh left Miami, the Raptors fell into a long-term slump. It wasn't until the 2013-14 season that Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan led the Raptors out of the slump and set the best regular season record in team history that season.

However, this so-called best record is only 48 wins and 34 losses.

The following 2014-15 season, the Raptors broke this franchise record, improving their regular season wins by one point to 49-33 and finishing fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Although the Raptors were able to enter the playoffs in a row under the leadership of Lowry and DeRozan, they stopped in the first round for two consecutive seasons.

Although compared with the Warriors' "Splash Brothers" backcourt combination with super shooting ability, the shooting ability of the Raptors' double guns is a little insufficient, and they have been nicknamed "Iron Flower Brothers" by fans, but the Raptors' double guns are not strong.

Kyle Lowry, who entered the NBA through the draft in 2006, was not a high pick, having been drafted by the Grizzlies with the 24th pick in the first round.

After three seasons with the Grizzlies, he was traded to the Rockets. And after three seasons with the Rockets, he was traded to the Raptors.

Although he was slightly shorter, he was physically strong and had a strong strength advantage in the number one position, which earned him the nickname "Little Steel Cannon". Superb ball handling skills combined with top-notch power in the No. 1 position make his breakthrough unstoppable.

Since he is so capable, why has he not been reused, but has been traded repeatedly?

Maybe it's because his life is not good, and he is often injured at critical moments.

In his rookie season, he gradually adapted to the NBA and was about to play well, but the ensuing injuries caused him to be reimbursed for his entire rookie season. After returning from injury, the starting No. 1 spot was occupied by Mike Conley, and he felt he was better suited for the position. He fell out with the team and was traded to the Rockets.

After coming to the Rockets in 2009, Lowry has become more mature.

Therefore, he calmly accepted the status of a substitute, and used his selflessness and fearlessness to continue to help the Rockets win one victory after another.

Although he has been playing as a substitute, he has never complained, just buried his head and worked hard until the day the opportunity came. After Brooks was unexpectedly injured, Lowry was given the opportunity to play as the starting point guard.

At this time, Lowry began to show surprising leadership qualities. No one expected that such a short and stout defender with his poor appearance would still have the ability to lead the team.

Even though Brooks soon returned, Lowry still gained more trust from his coach with his efficient and all-round performance.

However, the 2011-12 season was a mixed bag for Lowry, who had a career-best number but had to take a long break due to injury and the starting spot was taken by Dragic.

Later, when he returned from injury, he was unable to squeeze out Dragic and continued his career as a substitute. Subsequently, Lowry even made statements that it would be difficult to fight alongside Dragic.

Lori, who had a feud, was traded again.

When he came to the Raptors, there was no one to compete with him for the position of starting point guard, and he was the core guard of the team.

Toronto may be his blessed land, and after coming to the Raptors, Lowry did not get injured again and finally began to show his ability. In the 2014-15 season, he became an All-Star!

DeMar DeRozan was drafted by the Raptors with the 9th pick in the first round in 2009 and began his NBA career.

DeRozan has an amazing jump and explosiveness, and before he entered the NBA, he was one of the best violent dunkers on American college campuses; After coming to the NBA, he is also a strong dunker.

In the 2010 Dallas All-Star Weekend slam dunk contest, he defeated Shannon Brown, Gerard Wallace and other good dunks to reach the finals, and contributed the only perfect dunk in the finals.

Unfortunately, he lost the game against Nate Robinson, the only person in NBA history to win the Slam Dunk Contest three times.

While his physical fitness is good, his technique is also good.

He has excellent breakout ability and a good mid-range shot, but one of the criticisms is that in this small-ball era, he can't shoot threes.

After 3 years of growth, he stepped into the realm of a first-class scorer.

In the 2013-14 season, he averaged 22.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game, and was selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup, becoming an All-Star!

Although he was not selected as an All-Star last season, he averaged 20.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, which is still a very convincing statistic.

The backcourt double gun, which consists of two All-Star players, how can it not be strong.

The Raptors, under their leadership, have not been able to go far in the playoffs, and the bigger reason is because of their teammates, or the lineup.

Lowry and DeRozan form a backcourt duo, and for many teams, the Raptors' guard line is a strong point. In the regular season, relying on the power of the two guns, other teammates can win many games with just a little performance.

However, in the playoffs, the Raptors' shortcomings were infinitely magnified by their opponents.

Although DeRozan can break through and play alone, his long-range shooting ability has always been poor; Lowry, on the other hand, has three-point ability, but he is not consistent. Once Lowry doesn't feel good, then the Raptors will get lost in the jungle of muscle of the opposing team.

However, at this time, their teammates can't stand up, and the Raptors haven't been able to go far in the playoffs, which is because of this.

If the roster is not strengthened, then the Raptors will be limited to that.

Although the dual-gun ability is strong, it is difficult to go further, and they have grown to an All-Star level, which is close to the limit. It can be said that the Raptors have not been able to break through the first round of the playoffs, and the two guns are easily limited by opponents is also one of the reasons.

If the two guns are strong enough, it will be difficult for the opponent to limit them no matter what, then the Raptors will not be able to go far.

It's no wonder that fans jokingly call them "Iron Flower Brothers". Compared with the "splash" composed of Curry and Thompson, their shooting ability is really much worse.

Of course, the shooting ability of the backcourt combination of the "Splash Brothers" may be the top in history, and whoever compares with them will fall behind.

The Raptors have two guns compared to them, although they don't have much advantage and look weak. But that's just because the "splash" is too strong, and for many teams in the league, the Raptors with two guns are actually a formidable opponent, and the slightest mistake will lose the game.

On November 20, the Los Angeles Lakers sat at home and welcomed the challenge of the Toronto Raptors.

After a few days of vacation, the Lakers will have fully rested their bodies and prepared for the game against the mighty Raptors.

The Raptors now have a 7-6 record, a win rate of just over half of them, and they don't look like a strong team in any way. Especially after losing to the Kings, Warriors and Jazz recently, they suffered three consecutive defeats.

Because for a strong team, a losing streak may be unavoidable, but it is almost impossible to lose more than 3 games in a streak.

Because the ability of a strong team is higher than that of an average team, both the coach and the players themselves have a good ability to adjust. Losing one or two games will allow them to wake up in time and correct their mistakes.

But regardless of whether the Raptors are a strong team or a pseudo-strong team, the Lakers will not take it lightly.

Because they failed to win the game last time against the Suns, a weak team in the league, this made them completely understand the phrase "there is no weak team in the NBA".

Before the game, Raptors star Kyle Lowry said in an interview with the media, "It's going to be a good matchup." ”

And DeMar DeRozan, one of the Raptors' twin stars, said that as a big Komy, he "enjoyed the matchup with Kobe." ”

Bryant responded by saying that he was optimistic about DeRozan as a young man and encouraged him to work hard and carry forward the glorious tradition of shooting guard.

This is a game that is broadcast live in the United States, and it is broadcast live by the *** limited TV channel in the United States.

, the full name of Turner-Network-Television (Turner-Network), is a pay television network owned by Time Warner, founded in 1988 by media tycoon Ted Turner, and in 1996, *** was included in Time Warner with its parent company TBS.

Broadcast around the clock NBA, NASCAR, World-Championship-Wrestling and other well-known sports programs, as well as a large number of classic movies and TV series, especially movies with self-copyrighted movies.

I attached great importance to this game and sent my own commentary team to explain the game. The commentators they sent were the golden duo of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, as well as Shaquille O'Neal, an upstart in the commentary world.

After Barkley retired, he also became popular in the commentary world, and applied for a sentence: Those who have the ability can eat anywhere.

And the same applies to O'Neill.

As for Kenny Smith, perhaps as a player, he was far less famous than Barkley and O'Neal, averaging only 12.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game in his career, but his career as a commentator was brilliant.

Smith and Barkley are a golden match because of another important factor, in addition to their perfect match.

When the Rockets won two championships in the 90s, Smith was on the Rockets and contributed a lot.

And the two championships of the Rockets are sandwiched between the two triple championships of the Bulls dynasty. Barkley, who has been suppressed by Jordan very badly, came to the Rockets to hug his thigh for the championship.

It was at this time that Smith left the Rockets and failed to become teammates with Barkley.

As a result, Barkley failed to hug his thigh in the end and failed to win the championship. Because of this black spot, he has been ridiculed by Smith.

And Smith will often shake out the black history of Barkley in the commentary.

The love and killing between the two naturally attracted many fans. With a huge popularity base, they have naturally become a golden partner.

After the pre-match ceremony officially ended, the players from both sides entered the stadium and the game was about to begin.

On the big screen in the Staples Center arena, the starting lineups of the two teams were-

Raptors starting lineup: Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan, Demar Carroll, Luis Scola, Younas Valance Younas

Lakers starting lineup: Jordan Clarkson, Yi Feng, Kobe Bryant, Julius Randle, Roy Hibbert

On the commentary bench, after getting the list of players who started the game, Barkley, Smith and O'Neal chatted.

O'Neal smiled, "Kobe Bryant is thirty and almost forty, why haven't he retired yet?" ”

Barkley snorted, "That's people can continue to play, how can you be like you, you are too fat to move at this age!" ”

O'Neill stiffened his neck and said, "How can you not move?!" What's more, Uncle Ben is strong or not, where is he fat? Are you good at taking it to be fat? ”

Smith smiled at O'Neill and Barkley, "If you want me to say, you two are!" So pat yourself on the stomach and see if the meat shakes like water? ”

O'Neill and Barkley were at the same time, and said in unison: "Shut up, thin man!" ”

Smith looked at the huge bodies of the two men, looking at his extremely "thin" body, and silently stopped talking.

Suddenly, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, isn't this era discriminating against fat people? Why don't you dare to speak???

Immediately, he cleared his throat, "I'll be skinny, you fat people get out of the way." ”

The two fat men glanced at Smith with malicious eyes.

However, after all, Smith is a player who has helped the team win two consecutive championships, after all, he is a person who can still explain freely in the face of tens of thousands of people, and his psychological quality is so strong, he directly ignored the eyes of the fat people.

"Now the great O'Neal in the 'OK' group is jealous that Kobe is still playing, and the 'Jazz' Barkley claims that O'Neal is fatter than Kobe Bryant at the same age, so O'Neal, whose strength has dropped sharply, can only choose to retire."

"First of all, Mr. 'Sir.', I have been angry with you many times, but this time I have no objection to your words."

"Inside players are much heavier than outside players, and there is more wear and tear on the feet, knees, ankles, etc. than outside players. And if the interior player is a fat guy who is overweight, that's even less to say. ”

At this point, Smith looked at O'Neal, and it was obvious that you were such an inside liner. (To be continued.) )
