Chapter [-] Against the Raptors!
"Yes, because of the trade between these two teams in this year's draft, various public opinion hotspots and explosive points have arisen."

"Of course, in summary, the main point of conflict between the two teams is mainly focused on Xu Lang."

"And this also proves from the side that Xu Lang's influence in the NBA is huge now, and he has not lost to those superstars in the league."

As Ma Jian, who once wanted to enter the NBA through various means but failed, Xu Lang, Yao Ming and others are now envious of their performance and fame in the NBA.

………………

"Hi, everyone, this is ESPN, and I'm today's host, Mars Jilin"

"Hi, everyone! I'm Mark Jackson."

"Today's focus battle between the Raptors and the Eagles, we are honored to invite the famous Raptors player Charles Oakley and the Eagles famous player Dominique Wilkins to comment with us This game."

As a player who had a vivid insider meatball lesson with Yao Ming in his rookie season, Charles Oakley is a typical old-school NBA player.

As a guard with a knife next to Jordan, Charles Oakley played in the league for 18 years.

Or it can also be said that Charles Oakley has fought in the NBA for 18 years, just like Yao Ming's evaluation of him after beating Charles Oakley in the first game.

"He's not fighting you, he's fighting you."

And as a boxing enthusiast, Charles Oakley's game in the NBA is as cool as being paid to engage in his own interests.

Maybe this is also an important reason why Oakley can still play so many balls in the NBA despite his average basketball talent!
After all, other people play NBA for money, but Oakley plays NBA for love!

After all, for Oakley, there is no other opponent in the United States who has as many physiques as the NBA!
"Charles, it is said that you are very dissatisfied with the current penalty scale of the league that can be punished at the first touch."

As soon as he came up, Mars dug a hole for Charles Oakley first.

"That's right, I really said it.

But, I didn't say that it's a problem that it will fall when you touch it, and that it will fall when you fall.

After all, this is a basketball style thing, as long as it is within the rules, I can accept it.

It's just that I think the alliance's requirements and tolerance for confrontation are a bit too low.

Although I know it's the regular season now, the regular season is for selling tickets and making money.

When your penalty scale is too loose, although the intensity of the game will increase, the game will not look good.

Especially for fans who come to buy tickets, compared to watching boring defensive battles, it is definitely better to have all kinds of gorgeous offenses! "

"But in my personal opinion, basketball is a competitive sport.

It itself emphasizes physical confrontation, and the NBA is now one of the best super leagues in the world.

If the penalty scale starts to gradually make players develop in the direction of soft eggs, it will not be a good thing for American basketball or world basketball. "

"Oh, do you think that some of the new generation players in the league, such as Xu Lang in this game, are tough enough in terms of playing style? Is he a soft-hearted player, or a real man?"

"Don't tell me, Xu Lang, an Asian player, is actually much better than many American players.

I watched Xu Lang's games, including the opening game and the five-double game against the Rockets a while ago.

At least in the few games I watched, Xu Lang's tough performance on the defensive end caught my eye. "

"I can affirm that among all the young players in the entire NBA, Xu Lang's defensive hardness is definitely the strongest!"

"I personally think that Xu Lang is a player who has the potential to become a superstar in the NBA, both offensively and defensively."

In words, Charles Oakley's appreciation for Xu Lang is beyond words.

Of course, this is also normal. Affected by the memories of the many games of the magician, Uncle Mu, Bill Russell and others, Xu Lang's playing style has gradually developed towards the player style of the ancient NBA period!

This will naturally be loved by some old-school NBA players.

To be honest, although some of Xu Lang's performances have been too outstanding recently.

Many fans or players in the United States, or so-called basketball experts, have some prejudices when evaluating Xu Lang's strength and statistics.

But at the same time, there are also many American fans and old-school players who appreciate Xu Lang's tough style of play.

The defensive end is tough enough, and the offensive end can pass, shoot, and rebound.

Xu Lang has basically done everything a point guard can do now!

For this kind of player, whether it is an old-school NBA player or an active NBA player, they will not say that Xu Lang's strength is not enough. At most, some players will complain that Xu Lang has received more attention than his strength!
If it weren't for Xu Lang's amazing performance in his rookie season, the younger generation of American players are completely in a state of being unable to make it.

Xu Lang is likely to become a very popular foreign player in the United States.

But it is a pity that sometimes you are better than others, although you will be chased and challenged by some people, but at this time you and them are still in the same group
And when a person is too strong in a group, while receiving respect, he will also receive a lot of group rejection.

Just like Jordan who had already been promoted to the god position back then, Jordan who ended his first three consecutive games was because the gap with others was too great.

As a result, he was under tremendous pressure and influence from public opinion, or Jordan at that time was collectively rejected by the entire American media.

Until Jordan chose to leave the NBA for two years because of his father.

When he returned to the NBA again, Jordan withdrew some of his divinity, and after looking back at the status of a normal top player in the league or the number one shooting guard in the normal league.

Qicai slowly began to be respected enough by more and more media, and admired by more and more players.

Of course, Xu Lang's strength performance and influence now are definitely far behind Jordan's back then.

So now Xu Lang doesn't need to rely on retirement to regain his humanity. After all, Xu Lang hasn't become a god yet!

But this is a bit far away, back to this game.

After Charles Oakley praised Xu Lang, Mark Jackson continued to ask Charles Oakley following Miles' words.

"So, Charles, are you going to support the Eagles in this game?"

"Uh, that's not true. Although I appreciate Xu Lang's strength and playing style, if we compare the strengths of the two teams, I think the Raptors are stronger."

"After all, the Raptors' internal and external combination with Joe Johnson and Chris Bosh as the core this year, the overall strength and game performance are still very good."

"Otherwise, the Raptors wouldn't have played the regular season until now, have been firmly seated at fifth in the Eastern Conference, and have maintained a record of attacking the top four positions in the Eastern Conference at any time."

"Moreover, the Raptors have a more complete lineup system and a more mature star combination in addition to the starting lineup.

On the bench, the Raptors are also deeper than the Hawks' bench. "

"So in general, I personally think that the chances of the Raptors winning this game will be a little higher."

Seeing that after boasting Xu Lang, he still turned around to support Charles Oakley of the Raptors. Mark Jackson felt a little regretful that he failed to dig a hole for Charles Oak again!
"It seems that Charles is not only good at free combat, but also has a good brain."

Obviously, Wilkins, the famous Hawks player invited by ESPN today, has different opinions.

"No, no, no, first of all, what Charles Oakley said just now.

The fact that the Eagles have Xu Lang means that this team cannot be particularly easy to deal with.

Judging from Xu Lang's game style and character, any team will face extremely tough entanglements when facing the Eagles. "

"And I personally think that with the characters of the two leading players of the Raptors, when the game really enters the entanglement stage.

When it comes to patience, stamina, and pace of the game, the Eagles with Xu Lang still have an advantage. "

"Secondly, just now Charles said that there is a gap in strength between the two teams.

But in fact, I personally think that there is no strength gap between the two teams.

Yes, the Raptors now have a few more games than the Hawks.

But this is because the Eagles failed to show their true strength for various reasons in November last year.

With the continuous advancement of the regular season schedule, the Eagles are now getting better and better in their tactical system, and the team lineup is becoming more and more stable.

Some young players in the Eagles, such as Xu Lang, have become better and better adaptable to the intensity and rhythm of the NBA game.

The overall strength of the Eagles can no longer be judged solely by his current record! "

"After all, a team that is only sixth, seventh or eighth in the Eastern Conference faces the Rockets, the No. [-] team in the Western Conference.

Can it be defeated?And Xu Lang can still play a five-double performance?Do you think that's possible? "

"Even in the regular season in the league, the weak wins the strong, but the premise is that either the opponent makes too many mistakes, or your own foundation is strong enough."

"Obviously the Hawks are one of those teams that has enough fundamentals.

And I believe that after the Rockets' high-intensity game experience.

The strength level and game state of these young players of the Eagles will be further improved.

Take the state of the Eagles in the last few games. When the Eagles competed against the top four teams in the league, they did not lose at all, and sometimes they were even able to win. . "

"This is enough to prove the strength of the Eagles, and there may still be a big gap compared with the championship-level teams.

However, compared with the Raptors, which has the ability to attack the upper circle of the playoffs, that is, the top four in the East and West, the strength gap is not very big. "

"And in the case that there is not much difference in strength between the two teams, I personally think that the outcome of the game will be determined more by the leading players of the two teams."

"As for the leading players, I think whether it is Chris Boss or Joe Johnson, they are not as good as Xu Lang in terms of big heart, offensive efficiency of key balls, and toughness of long-lasting games."

"So all that said, for this game, I personally think the Hawks have a better chance of winning."

And just when the commentary booth was divided into two sides and started to form a confrontation, the protagonists of this game.

Players from the Eagles and Raptors also began to warm up one by one!
After Joe Johnson saw that several familiar Eagles players, such as Harrington and Tyronn Lue, were gone, a trace of loneliness and unhappiness emerged in his heart.

To be honest, as a veteran in the league, Joe Johnson had expectations that he would be traded, or that he might be traded.

At the same time, he didn't have much resentment about being traded.

After all, Joe Johnson's character is more easy-going. As long as he has a ball to play, it's the same for him.

If it weren't for too many media comparisons with Xu Lang this season, and Xu Lang was lucky enough to get a 70+ and a five-double.

Joe Johnson may not even have any special feelings about playing against the Eagles.

In addition, the Hawks and Raptors are now in the sixth and fifth positions in the Eastern Division, which also puts the two teams in a state of record competition.

And before the start of the game, Joe Johnson actually didn't think about what kind of deep hatred or fights would happen in this game, as he told the outside media.

Until Joe Johnson saw the Hawks less than a few months after he left.

I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart when I left or traded some players I was familiar with, or let go.

After all, when the Eagles management got Joe Johnson, they regarded Joe Johnson as a treasure.

At that time, Joe Johnson was called the Eagle King by the media.

And the Eagles' attitude of treating themselves as the Eagle King one second, and sweeping away all the previous legacy in order to welcome the next Eagle King in the next second, really made Joe Johnson feel that his dignity was demolished!

As for the Raptors, except for Joe Johnson who is now looking at the Eagles and others unhappy.

There were two other players looking at a tall figure in the Eagles' half court, exuding their own resentment.

"Made, rubbish coach, I am so good, since I have not been given playing time until now."

JJ. Redick looked at Sam Mitchell who was arranging tactics on the sidelines, almost biting his back molars.

I don't know, is it affected by jj. Redick's reputation in NCAA, after Mitchell selected jj. Redick in the Raptors.

Jj. Redick actually doesn't pay much attention to these jj. Redick, although jj. Redick has shown a very good NBA-level three-point shooting ability after nearly half a season of training.

But jj. Redick still hasn't been able to get enough playing time in the Raptors.

So far, jj. Redick has only been able to get 4.6 minutes per game for the Raptors, and most of them are in garbage time.

For a pure pitcher like Redick, it is difficult to get good data performance without a good enough tactical status and playing time.

This has led to Redick, who has not played enough time and has no tactical status, and now behaves like a marginal player who may be eliminated by the NBA at any time.

Similarly, although Redick entered the Raptors' roster for this game.

But obviously, if he wants to get enough playing time, he can only wait for the game to enter garbage time.

Compared to Redick, Bargnani, the player the Raptors had always placed high hopes on before the start of the draft.

Although the playing time has also declined due to personal performance and inadaptability to the rhythm and intensity of NBA games.

But it still has a stable average of more than 25 minutes of playing time per game.

And compared to Redick, who has no tactical status at all, Bargnani's tactical status in the Raptors is still quite high, second only to Joe Johnson and Chris Bosh.

And because the Raptors themselves are relatively short on the inside.

Now competing with Bani Nani for the starting inside center to appear playing time, it is only a Spanish national team player Jorg Garbajosa, and Slovenian center Rasu Neistrovic.

If Gagnani is compared with some strong physical players in the United States, his confrontation ability is weak.

So compared with these European players, Gagnani's inside confrontation ability is not bad at all.

Gagnani is now only one point worse than them, and that is the experience of the NBA game.

And after Gagnani played more and more games in the NBA, this gap began to be slowly made up.

Then, with the help of the performance of the last few games, it has become more and more stable.

In this game, Gagnani eventually overwhelmed two competitors from Europe and became the Raptors' starting center.

Soon, the warm-up time for the two teams ended and the game was about to begin.

At the same time, the starting lineups of the two teams have also been confirmed.

First of all, the Raptors' starting lineup is as follows:

Center: Andrea Bargnani, PF: Chris Bosh, SF: Anthony Parker, SG: Joe Johnson, PG: Tj. Ford.

As the No. 2003 pick in the first round in 03, Ford, like most of the high-ranked rookies in [-], has gradually established himself as the Raptors' starting point guard.
