Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Raptors Are Coming (Collect!) )

The playoffs are getting closer and closer, and the Lakers are now close behind the Jazz, always biting the Jazz who are eighth in the West, for the Raptors who came to challenge the Lakers, Kobe Bryant deliberately wrote a sentence on his Twitter: "The Toronto Raptors are a team that means to me, I think I will perform well today!" ”

Indeed, when Bosh was still in the Raptors, Kobe Bryant once crazy to watch 81 points, this is definitely a legendary game, Kobe's fighting spirit is very high in this game, and Kobe Bryant is really very confident in the Raptors, Kobe Bryant's hand is also good when he warms up before the game, it is estimated that the Raptors want to win this game too hard!

However, the strength of the Raptors should not be underestimated, since the trade of Guy, the Raptors finally have a first-class wing defender, Guy's addition has increased the strength of the Raptors a lot, and Lowry, who was once a substitute player for the Rockets, is now growing rapidly, and there is a trend of reaching the All-Star!

DeRozan is becoming an excellent leader day by day, coupled with a good interior line, the Raptors' strength in the East is still good, so the Lakers really have to work hard to win the Raptors easily in this game!

Dwayne Casey, as the head coach of the Raptors, still knows a little about the strength of the team, and the outside strength of his team is definitely not much worse than the outside of the Lakers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, that game made the Raptors forever the background of Kobe's victory, Dwayne Casey took over the Raptors for two seasons, and the transformation of the Raptors has achieved initial results, especially the trade of Guy is the first to be facilitated by Casey.

After Casey arrived at the Staples Center with the Raptors, he took the team's leader, DeRozan, to the pregame press conference.

Playing the Lakers, Casey wants to win this game, after all, the strength of the Lakers may not be much better than his own team, and winning one more game will give his team more initiative in the playoffs!

Therefore, at the pre-game press conference, Casey directly announced: "Although the Lakers are a great team, with superstars like Kobe Bryant and Howard, super rookies like Ye, and many outstanding players, we are confident that we will win this game, and the Raptors will win!" ”

An hour later, D'Antoni, who was holding a pre-game press conference on the other side of the arena, attended the scene with Bryant, and after hearing the reporters' relays, D'Antoni just smiled and didn't say much.

Kobe Bryant said confidently: "I don't know what confidence the Raptors have, but I know that as long as I want to win the game, I will definitely win it!" ”

When D'Antoni was in the locker room to give the players the final touch, D'Antoni said loudly: "I know the Raptors players and coaches want to win the game on our home court because we humiliated them, but I want to say that we are definitely the winners!" Victory belongs to the Lakers! Win! ”

D'Antoni's yelling in the locker room has made many players accustomed to it, after all, in the NBA, coaches need to motivate players loudly sometimes, and D'Antoni's recent pressure has been not small, as the season is coming to an end, the Lakers are still only in ninth place in the West, although they are close behind the Jazz, but they don't know if they can finally reach the playoffs, for the Lakers, the playoffs are the worst goal of the season!

The game started quickly, and the Lakers were still the same in this game, Howard, Clark, Artest, Kobe, Ye Feng, and on the Raptors' side, point guard Kyle Lowry, scoring guard DeRozan, small forward Guy, big forward Biggani, center Valanciunas.

It is worth mentioning that the Lakers recently signed a small forward from the CBA, Terrence Williams, because the Lakers' small forward position is only Artest is more reliable, but Artest's character and age are Artest must have a substitute, at this time the Lakers' general manager Kupchak looked at Terrence Williams of the Guangdong Hongyuan team in the CBA on the other side of the ocean!

Terrence Williams, a physical swingman at forward and a protégé under NCAA coach Rick Pidino, has a strong defensive and confrontational ability, and his physical prowess gives him an advantage at both the shooting guard and small forward positions.

His all-around skills make him a panacea for any team, with a wide range of ball-handling and passing skills, as well as rebounding, steals and blocks on the defensive end.

Good shooting anti-interference ability, excellent prediction ability, excellent steals, solid basic skills, pull-up jump shots, excellent ability to create opportunities for teammates, and the potential for an average triple-double per game, the template of the draft period was set as Iguodala, and he also has a little bit of the back body ability developed during the summer vacation, and his all-round skills have earned him the reputation of "Little James", and the most noteworthy thing is his near-BT physical fitness, up to 37 inches of vertical jump.

It's just that Williams' personality is a bit problematic, that is, his mentality is unstable, but for the Lakers, what they need is a good backup small forward, especially a jack-of-all-trades, which is more suitable!

Terrence Williams also entered the squad in this game, and I don't know if it will bring any contribution to the Lakers.

At the beginning of the game, Ye Feng found that the players of the Raptors had a cold face, and Valanciunas looked at Howard with a murderous face, although he was still a rookie, Valanciunas performed very well, and his soft touch made him a good low-post offensive finisher.

Jump ball, Valanciunas tried his best to grab the basketball, the Raptors possessed the ball, Lowry quickly held the ball to the frontcourt, after a quick block and cover, Lowry relied on flexible skills to avoid Howard's block, scored a layup, Lowry scored 2 points for the Raptors!

During the whole process, the Raptors didn't communicate much, but Ye Feng saw seriousness and seriousness in their expressions, maybe this game was really not as simple as imagined!

Ye Feng was blocked by Lowry in the half with the ball, Lowry defended Ye Feng very seriously, Lowry was nearly 10CM shorter than Ye Feng, Ye Feng felt that it might be a good choice for him to shoot directly.

Although the hit rate bonus of the kill card is only fifteen percent now, but with his own thirty-five percent hit rate and the five percent hit rate bonus of the Ice Sword, Ye Feng can reach fifty-five percent of the hit rate even if he is defended, this hit rate is not as terrifying as before, but he is still one of the most terrifying scoring shooters in the league!
