Chapter 177: Counterpoint Bagnani
To be honest, the Raptors' lineup is not very strong, and the players on the team are only one Dragon King Bosh and TJ Ford, and TJ Ford is not a star-level player at all, and he has no team to ask for it after playing in the NBA for a few years, and he retired gloomily......
Overall, the Raptors' lineup is really a world compared to the Cavaliers, but the records of the two teams are not much different, and it can be seen that the Dragon King Bosh's ability to lead the team is really good.
……
After Bosh tasted the power of Li Tuanjie's unicorn arm in the opening few offensive rounds, he barely entered the interior on the offensive end, but relied on his speed and good hand to start using his teammates' blocking and dismantling to shoot!
In fact, it's also a common offensive move for space power forwards.
In essence, although Bosh is an all-round power forward, his style of play is still more inclined to a spatial power forward.
……
Bosh's back play didn't play a role at all in this game, and Li Tuanjie also couldn't play Bosh with his back, causing these two master-level big forwards to turn into projection madness, and almost all attacks were used to solve the battle!
Since both of them have called their teammates to do high blocking and dismantling for themselves, it is also difficult for both sides to defend each other's projections, and then it depends on who has a higher shooting percentage!
After playing in the first quarter of the game, Bosh made 8 shots, and also made Li Tuanjie a foul, cutting down 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block, which is quite efficient!
However, Li Tuanjie's shooting rate can only be regarded as a normal performance, and he got six shots in the first quarter, but only scored 8 points, which is slightly inferior to Bosh!
But even so, the current leader on the court is the Bucks, who led the Raptors by four points at the end of the first quarter!
The reason for this situation is, of course, Mike Reed's!
The overall strength of the two teams is definitely stronger than the Raptors, but in terms of high-end combat power, it is the Bucks who are stronger!
The Bucks' high-end combat power has Li Tuanjie and Mike Reed, and the Raptors' high-end combat power is only one Chris Bosh!
Now, although Lee's offensive efficiency is not as good as Bosh's, Mike Reed's side has absolutely suppressed TJ Ford!
That's why the Bucks took the lead in the first quarter!
The Bucks' home fans are like chickens, and the next four home games are more difficult to deal with than one another, and even many pessimistic fans feel that the Bucks may lose all four games in the next four!
If you add in the previous home defeats against the Warriors and Suns, the Bucks will have a six-game losing streak and a miserable record......
……
TNT Commentary Room.
"Kenny, what do you think of this game? Who do you think will be the winner? Charles Barkley asked Kenny Smith next to him with a smile.
"Charles, now that the game has just been played for only one quarter, how can you tell who wins and who loses, maybe when the third quarter of the game is over, I can tell you the answer!"
"I feel that in this game, when the third quarter is over, it may not be able to tell the winner!"
"Kenny, the two of us have stopped playing many games to focus on Li Tuanjie, what do you think of Li Tuanjie, a newcomer?"
"What is the evaluation of Li Tuanjie? The chosen one? Chinese Nowitzki? Chinese magician? The most versatile rookie power forward in history? Charles, I think my comments should be the best summary of Li Tuanjie's current performance! Kenny Smith thought for a moment and uttered a few adjectives.
Charles Barkley clapped his hands and laughed, apparently Kenny Smith's evaluation made him very satisfied!
"That's right, your evaluation is so wonderful and appropriate, I am very optimistic about Li Tuanjie's future, just like I was very optimistic about Yao Ming at the beginning, Li Tuanjie's future achievements will definitely be higher than Yao Ming!"
"Ahem, Charles, to be honest, you're the most shameless person I've ever met......"
……
The game on the court was in full swing, and in the second quarter of the game, Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell directly put Chris Bosh in the center position and Bagnani in the power forward position!
With such a change of formation, the effect was immediately highlighted, and the offensive firepower of the Toronto Raptors instantly rose by more than one notch!
Bagnani has only averaged 12 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1 assist per game this season, which is not a star and a half worse than Li Tuanjie's average of 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists per game!
But considering the playing time and the number of shots, Bagnani's offensive ability is actually no worse than Li Tuanjie, at least in terms of shooting percentage......
Bagnani is currently averaging about 44 percent shooting per game and 38 percent shooting from three-point range, while Li Tuanjie's shooting rate is basically at this level, and the two are evenly matched.
And the reason why Bagnani is considered to be far inferior to the 14th pick Li Tuanjie is because of his rebounding and organizational skills!
Bagnani, who is 213 cm tall, averages only 3.9 rebounds per game, which is really a bit too much......
……
Next, the confrontation between the two sides entered a white-hot period!
Chris Bosh on the inside, it can almost be said that he beat Gazuric, although Gazuric's strength is good, but his experience is definitely not comparable to Li Tuanjie, Bosh, who is very good at defending the basket, suffers very much, and is fouled one after another......
And the attack on Bagnani's side, Li Tuanjie has no particularly good way to block it!
You must know that Bagnani is a typical player over seven feet tall, and this type of super tall projection player can defend their projection, I am afraid it is just their own touch......
Basically, Li Tuanjie and Bagnani are in a situation where they explode each other on the offensive end, and Li Tuanjie has a slight advantage!
But in terms of rebounding and organization, Li Tuanjie completely exploded Bagnani!
At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks led by four points, and at the end of the second quarter, due to the good effect of the Raptors' change of formation, the Raptors' score directly surpassed the Bucks by three points!
Throughout the first half, Li Tuanjie contributed 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists! And Bagnani, as the champion, played a quarter of the game, scored 7 points and 2 rebounds, and there was no other data!
From here, we can also see the huge gap between the overall strength of Bagnani, the champion, and Li Tuanjie!
This year's rookies, if the order is rearranged, with the current performance of the major rookies, Li Tuanjie will definitely be a well-deserved champion!
As for the list, Brandon Roy, who is going to break out to the Trail Blazers, has an absolutely bright future for Brandon Roy, who averages 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game!
As for Tanhua, there are more options for this, Rudy Gay, Adam Morrison and Bagnani's performance is not much different, and any of the three can do Tanhua!
