Out of the system space, Li Zhi couldn't wait to use the peak reappearance card.

"The pinnacle reenactment card has been successfully used, and it is suitable for: Shaquille O'Neal."

O'Neill's huge body sat on the custom-made seat, and suddenly his body was smart, and he felt that his whole body was full of inexhaustible strength, and he said in his heart, what kind of illusion is this?

O'Neal then closed his eyes again, and as the Warriors' plane landed at the Toronto airport, the direction of the game between the Warriors and the Raptors was also discussed by the media.

ESPN expert Bill Simmons believes that against the Raptors, the weakness of the Warriors' interior line will be infinitely amplified, and O'Neal's rebounding degeneration is something that fans all over the world understand, although the Warriors have Jordan Jr., a substitute rebounding maniac, but Jordan Jr. and O'Neal are not alone after all, and they can't achieve the effect of 1+1=2.

And although Jordan Jr. grabbed a lot of rebounds in the last game, he had a serious tendency to foul and was also an unstable factor.

On the other hand, the Raptors, who entered the playoffs with a 50% win rate last season, and the core of the team, Chris Bosh, are at their peak.

Another Smith, Stephen Smith, believes that last season's first-round playoff confrontation between the Raptors and the Magic, if there is another amazing effect in addition to the "one-sided" result of the Raptors being eliminated 1-4, it is Dwight Howard's "double 20" ability. But this season their interior has changed dramatically.

The combat effectiveness of Warcraft is terrifying, and the poor offensive and defensive efficiency of the Raptors is also incomprehensible. So on draft day, the Raptors made a painful decision to trade T.J. Ford, Nestrovich, Bastone and the 17th pick to O'Neal Jr. and the No. 41 pick.

The stats show that adding to the frontcourt is indeed a primary issue for the Raptors - last season, the Raptors averaged 1.54 fewer rebounds per game than their opponents, which ranked only 22nd in the league, and the interior scoring effect was even worse, only 27th in the league. Although this can't deny Bosh's personal ability, it definitely reflects the lack of effectiveness of the interior combination.

Added to the 6-time All-Star player O'Neal Jr., in terms of fame, the Raptors have a top interior combination in the East, and the practical theory is also very useful.

Randolph and Eddie Curry's New York interior line was previously defined as the top in the East, but the complementarity between these two big-weight players is not strong, and even interferes with each other. O'Neal Jr. is different from Bosh, O'Neal Jr.'s singles ability in the low post was recognized as early as the "Trail Blazers University", and Bosh's offensive efficiency in the high post is an example among the league's big men. With O'Neal Jr., the Raptors could avoid wasting time with Bagnani, who plummeted last season's efficiency, or fix the Italian No. 1 at his preferred wing position, or simply reassess Bagnani's value.

After getting O'Neal Jr., the Raptors also left their main point guard Calderon this season, and the depth of the backcourt was also guaranteed, and the Warriors could not take advantage of this battle.

The Warriors' only advantage over the Raptors may be their strong bench lineup, but most media outlets are still not optimistic about the Warriors.

In the pre-match interview, the reporter asked Li Zhi what he thought of the game.

Li Zhi said meaningfully: "Shaq is the league's No. 1 center, I am extremely convinced of this, he will show you what dominance is!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the media was in an uproar, and everyone thought that Li Zhi must be crazy, otherwise how could he say "Shaq is the league's No. 1 center"?

Where does this argument put Orlando's Warcraft Howard and his compatriot Yao Ming?

Therefore, Li Zhi's words not only disliked many American fans, but also made some Chinese fans unacceptable.

O'Neill hugged Li Zhi's shoulders before the game and said: "George, don't worry, I will not let you lose face in this game!" ”

O'Neill is confident because he feels the energy in his body that he has only seen in his prime.

"Do you think Li Zhi is crazy?" Milicic was carelessly training for the game, and he made a three-shot basketball shot.

Little Jordan next to him said indifferently: "You don't care if the boss is crazy or not, anyway, Boss O'Neal must be the first center!" ”

Little Jordan has long regarded O'Neal, who has blown himself up again and again, as an idol, and he can't allow others to look down on his idol.

Milicic rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "You didn't want to snatch O'Neill's starters more?" You think, I'm shooting well, you're rebounding, and our two combinations will definitely be able to grab O'Neal and Barnes' starters! ”

Milicic was seductive and wanted to win Jordan Jr. into his rebel army, but Jordan Jr. ignored Milicic except for laughing, Milicic was so angry that he threw a basketball into the basket.

"Darko seems to be a bit of a starter with Shaq lately, and he's training hard." Assistant coach Matt said after seeing Milicic's appearance.

Nelson smiled and nodded, it's good to have competition. Nelson is optimistic about an all-round interior player like Milicic, and it is very gratifying to see such Milicic.

The atmosphere on the Warriors team is different from last season, and that's what makes Nelson Sr. happy.

There are no contradictions, only good competition, and with O'Neal and Jackson in the team, there will be no more infighting like last season.

Similarly, there is a sense of crisis within the Warriors.

Kyle Lowry, the starting point guard in the Warriors, was particularly impressed, when there was a backup point guard Crawford who averaged nearly 20 points per game and a Livingston who trained hard, Lowry did not dare to relax for a moment, and could only maintain 100% concentration in training and on the court.

Nick Young is often praised by Nelson for his excellent running, and in the Wizards, head coach Eddie Jordan is called the "devil" by the team, and he will not praise himself like this.

In last season's playoffs, Wizards' three-time All-Star shooting guard Arenas started in Game 3 of the first round of the Cavaliers and Wizards playoffs, his first appearance as a starter since he injured his knee last November.

However, after 10 minutes of play, he went off the pitch with another knee injury, and limped off the pitch before the first half was over.

After examining the General's left kneecap, which had some minor bruises that compressed the nerves in his left knee, he was placed on the Wizards' daily watch list.

However, Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan decided after the game that Arenas' injury was not serious, and after some simple treatment, Arenas was still allowed to play in the next game.

For this kind of coach who disregards the player's body and only has the game, it is no wonder that Nick Young does not like it.
