Chapter 640 [Weakened Raptors, Earned Deals]

On the evening of the 25th, the Bulls and Raptors' match was held on time at the Air Canada Stadium.

The Bulls' starting lineup was adjusted, with one big team and four small teams. Calderon, Wang Jun, Hill, Barnes, and Oden.

Raptors starters: Darick Martin, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, Rollden, and Bosh.

The Raptors also played small ball tactics at the beginning, and Roll Deng was better off offense and defense than Bagnani. This made Roll Deng a little unhappy. His favorite position was the small forward, but he often played the No. 4 position when he was with the Bulls, and this was the case when he came to the Raptors.

Zhang Heli analyzed the lineup and said: "Now many teams have begun to imitate the Bulls' style of playing. The outside is to attack the ball with the ball and two people who can shoot three-pointers. The inside is one high and one fast, and can defend against the penalty area and also prevent pick-and-roll. The high center forward is difficult to play now, and it is easy to be overwhelmed by the defender in dislocation, and it is not easy to interfere with the opponent's big man's shooting to the outside."

Yu Jia sighed: "This is bad news for Yao Ming. His movement speed is slow, Yi Jianlian is fine, and his body side data is outstanding."

Zhang Heli said: "A Raptors' non-draft player has played. Moon used to play Harlem basketball, with strong physical fitness, good at dunking, and good defense. Today he should be the main defense of Wang Jun."

Muen and Wang Jun stood together and were very excited. This was the most severe test he had faced since entering the NBA and it was also an opportunity.

As a player born in 1990, he can definitely be called an older rookie. He failed to participate in the draft and was not even selected by a strong university team. He was still struggling in the minor league half a year ago and got a check of up to 1,000 yuan a week.

Now that he has finally joined the NBA by defending, he wants to prove that he can defend top players and fight for a big contract in the future.

Rollden and Bosh are also ready to change the pick-and-roll at any time, and vow not to let Wang Jun get another 50.

Coach Sam Mitchell believes that it is necessary to defend Wang Jun to win the Bulls. The tactics are people-to-people, and double-teams within the three-point line. Whether they can defend themselves depends mainly on the players' defensive performance.

Oden won the jump ball. The game began.

Wang Jun ran, and Oden received a pass from the middle and missed the ball to the right corner, attracting Rollden to switch defense. He distributed the ball to Hill. The bottom line was fixed and opened up space.

Hill did not play singles against Parker, but lifted the ball high and cut to Oden, who cut to the low post.

Skeles has always arranged for the main attack on the outside to not target Oden, but to know that he lacks dominance on the offensive end. If the opponent is weak inside, he will also give the inside a chance to perform.

This year, the Raptors are Bosh's guest center. Without Nestrovic, Skeles arranged for him to play for Oden, and the two were not the same tonnage.

Oden caught the ball and leaned against Bosh on the low post on the right, turned to the bottom line and pressed his opponent to play cricket with one hand. 2 to 0.

The Raptors attack, the Bulls are staring at people, Wang Jun is responsible for preventing and controlling the point guard Darick, Calderon is responsible for defending Moon, Hill is responsible for Parker, Barnes is responsible for dealing with Rollden, and Oden is responsible for the inside.

Moon's offensive ability with the ball was extremely bad. Calderon was enough. Roll Dunla went out to play with the forward style, and had obvious mobility advantages against the inside, but not against Barnes.

Barnes was not convinced by Luo Er Deng in the team training last season. The two often fought one-on-one, and Luo Er Deng could not easily score in front of him. After he got to the Raptors, his data improved, but his skills did not improve much, and his shooting was off due to interference.

Oden won the rebound and passed it to Hill, and Hill passed it to Wang Jun without stopping.

Wang Jun dribbled the ball through the half, and slightly changed direction and leaned against veteran Martin to lead the basket. Martin reached out to gamble and steal. Wang Jun took three steps and dunked the ball with one hand in the middle. 4-0.

In the Raptors positional battle, if Ford was playing pick-and-roll with Bosh, it would be very threatening. A small man could break through and a big man could shoot. Now if it was Darick, the pick-and-roll tactics would be impossible to play and would not break through at all.

Oden switched defense to block the breakthrough route, Darick divided the ball into the middle to Bosh, and Wang Jun immediately looked close to him.

Bosh immediately became timid. Wang Jun was the nemesis of his inside line. In the summer, he trained with Wang Jun for two weeks. Both offense and defense were tortured by Wang Jun.

Bosh's offense is mainly a face frame, relying on his height advantage to jump shots, or relying on his skills to challenge big men to make breakthroughs. His back-on ability is average, and he has to rely on his footsteps and height to turn and shoot.

Once Wang Jun is close to him, Bosh has no way to deal with it, so he can only pass the ball. He squeezes Wang Jun very strongly and will not be easily squeezed open. If the face frame breaks through, he may lose the ball and cannot pass by. If Wang Jun is directly shot, he will interfere, and his long arm can play some role.

The Raptors' offense is very awkward, and they can open the inside line, but there are no arrow characters who are good at playing with the ball. They need a star like Kobe and Wade to truly rise.

Luo Er Deng can play with the ball, but his speed is not fast and his explosive power is far inferior.

The Raptors player used almost 24 seconds to pass back and forth. Parker forced his move to avoid Hill's block and made a three-pointer from the right. 4-3.

This ball was blocked, Hill's hand had already been blocked on his face.

The Bulls attacked, and they all pulled away. Wang Jun received the ball outside the three-point line. Oden did not come out to cover it, so he got a chance to fight one-on-one.

It's just a newcomer, but it's not a talent show, Wang Jun thought to himself.

Seeing that no one came out to double-team, he immediately decided to play singles, dribbling the ball from his crotch twice, and Moon quickly followed. His height and arm span were excellent, and he stretched out his long arm to wait for an opportunity to steal.

Wang Jun leaned against the ball with his back, avoided the pressing, and leaned on his left hand and turned back to the middle, raising the ball with both hands.

Moon immediately flew up and jumped lightly in the air.

He plays too wildly, and Harlem has some bad habits in basketball and shows off his performance games. He wants to show his jumping power from time to time. He is a small forward, but he averages 4 blocks per game. The highest team in the team is so he loves to jump.

Players who love to jump are likely to get good block data, but head-on defense and jump generally do not have good results. Wang Jun bumped towards Moon, and threw one-handed shot but failed to touch the basket, causing a foul.

Wang Jun made two free throws under the interference of home fans, 6-3.

The Raptors attacked, Darik passed to Bosh and pulled it away from the outside. Bosh singled out Oden, stretched the baseline and took a step back to shoot in the mid-range shot.

He avoided the block, interfered with the shot and failed to make the shot. Barnes grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Hill.

Hill passed to Wang Jun. Wang Jun received the ball near the midfield and forced a breakthrough against Martin, attracting Parker to double-team the ball to the periphery. Calderon shot at a 50-degree open position on the right, and the ball was hollowed into the net. 9 to 3.

Everyone in the Raptors had an ominous premonition, and this was going to be bad.

Mitchell was very depressed that the team had lost Calderon, who was more accurate than everyone in the team's current three-pointers.

The Raptors attacked, Roll Deng broke through with the ball and was double-teamed within the three-point line. He split the ball and Darick was completely empty on the outside.

However, he was not confident of shooting a three-pointer, took a step and missed the basket from the right midshot, and Oden grabbed the rebound again.

Zhang Heli commented: "Not all veterans can help the team. Darick is too poor, his shooting percentage has just reached 30%. If the Raptors don't trade to make up for Ford's vacancy, it will be difficult to enter the playoffs this season."

Yu Jia smiled and said: "The Bulls made a profit from Calderon and a first-round draft pick, but they want to renew the Spanish defender next year and will definitely have to give a big contract, which is absolutely in the free market."
