At 7:40 pm, the Toronto Air Canada Center, the Trail Blazers and the Raptors entered the field one after another, and the highly anticipated offensive and defensive battle is about to begin.

After greetings before the game, Milicic was full of fighting spirit: "Warner, I will definitely defeat you this time."

Liu Xiu clearly felt the changes in the Raptors - they are no longer afraid of 81 points!

Unlike last season's "as if no longer fearful", it's really hard.

The source of toughness - Ron Artest!

Liu Xiu asked Milicic in confusion: "You haven't beat me, why are you so excited?"

The farmer is so angry!

(▼へ▼メ)

The most annoying thing was that even if he thought about it, he would be cured, and this development was different from what he thought.

It would be fine if he punched the cotton, but he also prepared a bunch of contents of tying with Liu Xiu, but he couldn't use them all!

Milicic returned to the bench after losing and saw Artest, and his mood instantly improved.

Good teammate, this is!

His relationship with Bosh is actually pretty good, but he can't stand Bosh's problem - once he loses and is in a bad mood, he will complain like a resentful woman, and it seems that it's all someone else's fault, and he has no problem at all.

Even if you can't beat one on one, it's not that you are weak, but that you blame your opponent for being so strong... And whenever you encounter a strong enemy, Bosh takes the lead and plays a series with Yao Ming. He has won 29 rebounds in 6 games, which is simply unpredictable.

But this guy likes to make harsh talks before the game to attract attention, which makes his opponent even more irritable...

Artest, who believes in world peace, is different. He is strong, hard and domineering. Although he is not as good as the warden, he is already very good at fighting. He takes the initiative to take responsibility when encountering problems. Except for his temper, the others are perfect in Milicic's opinion!

On the other hand, Liu Xiu is also paying attention to Artest's player detection report.

"Ron Artest, 29 years old, 201 cm, 111 kg, SF/PF, ability evaluation 95, offense 92, defense 99, three-pointers 89, mid-range shot 72, layup 93... Average 4 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 7 blocks... Average shooting percentage of 47%, three-point shooting percentage of 2%, and 2 goals per game three-point shooting..."

World Peace's shooting is getting better and better. Although it is limited to long shots, it can no longer be as defensive as James.

The previous year, the 35% three-point shooting percentage averaged 1 three-pointer per game, and the 38% three-point shooting percentage averaged 5 three-pointers per game. This year, there is a stronger insider restraint and has already made top-notch performances.

The number of shots was well controlled, with 17 shots per game, 5 three-point shots per game, and no random shots. At the beginning, the number of strokes of players trained by defensive coolies was well displayed in Artest.

"Dako Milicic, 23 years old, 213 cm, 125 kg, C, ability evaluation 94, offense 91, defense 95, pass 85... Average 7 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 7 steals and 3 blocks... shooting percentage 5%, free throw percentage 8%..."

The Raptors are just as unethical as the Spurs, and have two players averaging more than 20 players!

Moreover, these two people are both big shots whose defensive level is better than that of top players... Liu Xiu thinks it is really difficult for Mian and KING to attack.

On the contrary, his warden, relying on the help of Master Jack, there may be hope for one defense!

In the new season, Jarrett Jack started 15 games with the Jazz.

Xiaopao’s defense is really good, with team defense command, flank repair and assisting defense, and oppression and defense against small players... Xiaopao has almost done the ultimate in the point guard position!

Liu Xiu had made a comparison during the offseason, defensive commander, and he and Xiao Pao should be half a dozen, not at the level of Kidd, but they are not bad either, top-notch.

Paul is better for wings to make up for defense and assist in defense, and he is also the oppressive defense of small players.

But Liu Xiu can switch to shooting guards, small forwards, and one-on-one single defenses on the outside are more comprehensive like Kidd.

This was originally because Liu Xiu wanted to fight Paul for defense this season as a breakthrough point, but Jack showed his power...

But the defense still needs to continue working hard!

The team's high-speed round conversion defense, and the top arc single defense of him and the extrajudiciary are very important.

Moreover, Kobe has locked a first-defense position, and there is only one position to compete for. Paul has been injured this season, and there are also competitors such as Rondo, Wade, and Bathir.

Also, we have to guard against the league putting KING on the back line...

…

"Great Magician... Teammate: Lei Allen, Feature Transformation Talent: Quick Bow (full of Blood)... Opponent: Ron Artest, Feature Transformation Talent: Wild Beast, Bonus Effect: Power +2, It is determined that the host's explosive power is lower than the static force, and the static force reaches the top level, the explosive power is lower than the top level, and the host's explosive power is temporarily increased to the top level (90). When the single defense force is dominant, the defensive deterrent power is greatly improved."

"Talent: The Sharpshooter temporarily opens..."

"The four centers... have defeated the targets in their first match: Amare Stoudemire, Dwight Howard, Yao Ming..."

"Equipment already worn: the answer's wrist guards, the tights of the little Peter Pan, the ankle guards of the big black bear..."

The game is about to begin, Liu Xiu replicates his talent and comes to the field, and a new task is coming.

"Spear and Shield: Superstars in Troubled Times Series Missions.

Goal 1: The host needs to lead the team to score more than 100 points in this game.

Reward: Dulu (talent tendency).

Target 2: The host scores in this game, and assists must be higher than the average season. (The host plays 21 games this season, averaging 76 points, 6 rebounds, 47 assists, 85 steals, 95 blocks.)

Reward: 3000 healing value.

Goal 3: Win this game.

Reward: 3000 healing value, follow-up tasks related to Ron Artest."

Liu Xiu looked at Artest. Most of his excitement tonight came from this opponent.

Compared with James, Artest has a big gap in talent. Artest's playing style may collapse quickly after his physical fitness declines after he is 30 years old.

Liu Xiu didn't feel regretful or anything about this, but enjoyed the joy of the current showdown with Artest, the most peak.

The first goal of the new mission... It doesn't matter what you want, it doesn't matter if you can't get it. That talent is useless.

"The Toronto Raptors, 14 wins and 8 losses, averaged 3 points per game, lost 8 points per game..."

The Raptors averaged the lowest points in the league in terms of points per game, lower than the Bulls and Cavaliers!

Their new head coach Doug Rivers, defensive assistant Tom Thibodeau, is really a good way to do defense.

However, if this trend continues, the average score of less than 90 points per game may be blocked in NBA history.

He was a little frustrated with the second target. After Randolph's injury, he rushed to the airport and rushed to the third place per game. Fortunately, he was not greedy for assists this season, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with.

The other nine starters also came to the court.

The Trail Blazers sent Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Hill, Kwame Brown and Marc Gasol tonight.

The Raptors sent Felton, Anthony Parker, Artest, Jermaine O'Neal, and Dako Milicic.

At 7 pm, Milicic narrowly defeated Kwame Brown to win the jump ball. The game started and the Raptors attacked first!

Artest gets off quickly!

Liu Xiu couldn't resist Artest, who had completely rushed up without the ball, and could only try his best to stick it to it.

Felton received the ball and passed it to Milicic in the middle circle. Milicic held the ball to support him... Finally, he chose to push himself to the position close to the three-point line and pass it to Felton who was running over.

Artest went to the inside line after Liu Xiu's sticking defense and ran out. Liu Xiu pushed the ball down, but he could hold it high and beat it.

But the height and wingspan of the opponent's inside line are similar to O'Neal, which is too much!

If it was Birdman, Dior, and the extrajudiciary, he would have to force it.

But the opponent deliberately changed a 130-kilogram fat man... Artest learned that the opponent's defense is serious, and he has to work hard on both offense and defense tonight. The opponent lost 6 points per game, so far, limiting the opponent's scoring ability ranks fourth in the league.

The Raptors players got a good position, and Felton launched an attack... a strong breakthrough!

Liu Xiu followed Artest to the wing, Ray Allen defended Felton, Ray Allen was more than ten centimeters taller than Felton, but Felton weighed even bigger. Ray Allen predicted that the movement was correct, but could not withstand it.

Fortunately, Felton's speed was average, and he could not get rid of Lei Allen even when he rushed into the inside. The two of them were basically the same speed.

Felton came to close in the confrontation, Gasol made up, Felton scored the ball...failed!

Gasol Jr. stuck at the baseline and rushed O'Neal Jr. Ray Allen protected the defensive rebound. Felton immediately posted to Ray Allen. Ray Allen gave the ball to Gasol Jr. Gasol Jr. kept his hand and made the ball to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu received the ball and advanced quickly.

Lei Allen followed up and quickly went down, but was caught by Felton and could not get up. After he got rid of it, Liu Xiu had already withdrawn from the three-point line because there was no wing follow-up point, waiting for the positional battle to attack.

Ray Allen just thought that Felton's offense was too brainless. It turned out that this was the Raptors' offensive strategy!

Continuously giving him the team's second scorer to confront him, which is a very basic but effective defensive strategy.

The head coach Doug Rivers opposite is worthy of being the youngest best coach of all time.

When Rivers won the best coach in the 99-00 season, he was only 38 years old.

The Trail Blazers also fell into the positional battle, and Liu Xiu looked for pick-and-roll... This time it was Gasol, the one who pulled out!

Gasol Jr. blocked Artest at the right time. Liu Xiu used the cover to break through. When Artest stepped back and bypassed Gasol Jr. Gasol Jr.'s huge body, Liu Xiu had already reached the free throw line. Artest could no longer catch up, and he could not chase.

Gasol turned around and walked forward two steps, reaching a point outside the free throw line.

The basket's front jump shot, Gasol Jr. made 12 shots in this area this season and hit 8 goals. Artest remembers it very clearly.

But he was not worried that he could not catch up. Milicic expanded his defense. Although that guy had 125 kilograms, his ability to defend big and small is not weaker than Kwame Brown and Duncan, which greatly limited Liu Xiu's breakthrough line. O'Neal was little under the basket... "Bang"...

Artest: "…"

What are you doing!

[○?1?1'Д?0?7?1?1○]

The three of them were called the "best defensive frontcourt trio ever", but they were hit and dunked by the opponent!

Do you want to save face?

O'Neal, who had experienced the darkness in front of him, was also helpless. He was also responsible for defending Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown was not afraid of him at the bottom line or waiting for cakes at the basket, but this guy actually seized the opportunity to pull him out to help Hill block Anthony Parker... His attention was distracted, and his eyes were dark...

Artest did not blame O'Neal Jr. He knew that the main problem of this ball was Gasol Jr.

This guy went out to pick-and-roll. If Gasol stayed behind the inside, he could only stand in a stance to respond.

He regards Liu Xiu as the "lifelong enemy" and pays great attention to the Trail Blazers.

As the strongest defensive master, Artest easily discovered Gasol's talent and also noticed that Gasol's playing style is incompatible with the starting lineup. Although the team's cooperation will not be affected by the speed issue, the singles and restraint are not as good as Randolph, the overall support is not as good as Dior, and the efficiency of eating cakes and receiving mid-range shots is not as good as Kwame Brown...

External evaluation - The Trail Blazers are a waste of genius at the core level of offense and defense with a position like Gasol Jr., and may trade them away like sending away Blake and Millsap without delaying others.

But Artest suspected that the Trail Blazers seemed to have a way to crack this embarrassing situation!

Then the two sides fought for several more rounds, and Artest's speculation was confirmed.
Chapter completed!
