I am super giant

Chapter 133 Fighting the Raptors
The next day, the four newcomers of the team came to report together.

The Cavaliers' roster has changed dramatically.

Center Forwards: Ilgauskas, Tony Batty, Gerani
Power Forward: Boozer, Darius
Small forwards: Eric Williams, Kapono, Newbell
Shooting guard: James, Brown, Ollie

Point guards: Ye Feng, J.R. Bremer, Martin Cleves (injured), Dajuan (injured)

The starting lineup should have four relatively stable positions.

The inside line is Ilgauskas and Boozer, and the double backcourt is James and Ye Feng.

Only the small forward position is controversial. Eric is both offensive and defensive, and Darius is stronger defensively. It depends on Paul's choice.

In addition, Tony Batty, Kapono, and J.R. Bremer will all become the main rotation.

In other words, the next main rotation of the Cavaliers will become a 9-man rotation.

After a simple greeting, the team started training.

This is the NBA. There is no time for you to be sad, and there is no time for you to integrate into a new team. If you don’t adapt quickly enough, you can only be eliminated.

On December 12, the Cavaliers will host the only Canadian team in the NBA, the Toronto Raptors.

Two days before the competition, Ye Feng started to get excited.

Because, he will meet "flying man", "UFO", "half-human half-god" Vince Carter.

There is no doubt that Carter is the only core of this Raptors team.

Many people know that Carter may be because of Carter's dunk, after all, he is the most gorgeous dunk star in this century.

Carter only participated in the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest once, making subsequent slam dunk contests meaningless.

Turn 360 degrees for a windmill dunk, turn 180 degrees after the rebound for a windmill dunk, McGrady assists a dunk with a crotch change, an elbow dunk, and a two-handed gliding dunk before the free throw line. After the 2000 slam dunk contest, the slam dunk contest for more than ten years has become dull.

It's not that these people are not strong enough, but that Carter is too strong.These slam dunk contests only become interesting when Carter gets old and new fans don't know how good he really is.

How can a buckle be blown to such an extent?

Of course Carter is not just a dunker, but he can crush other stars with dunks alone.

He has only been selected to the All-Star seven times in his career, but four of them have been the All-Star vote leader.

Including the 2000, 2001, 2002 vote king Sanlianzhuang and the 2004 vote king.

In 2003, the reason why he was not the top voter was only because Carter was injured.

Moreover, when Jordan retired that year, McGrady and Iverson both gave up the All-Star starting position to Jordan. In the end, the injured Carter gave up, which became a good story.

After 2004, Yao Ming showed up with Huaxia fans. Facing this "cheating" Huaxia center, no one could surpass him, and Carter's road to the top vote was ended.

Think about it, if it weren't for the injury and Yao Ming, Carter would have won at least six or even seven consecutive votes.

The old rascal Jordan also only had seven consecutive villages once, and Dr. J ranked second, with three consecutive villages once.

Except for Jordan, Dr. J, and Carter, no one can achieve the three consecutive votes, and neither can Kobe and James.

You never know how popular Carter is at this time. Iverson and Kobe are not worth mentioning in front of him.

In Carter's game, as long as he steals, the audience will stand up, because all fans know that showtime is coming.

Of course, dunking isn't Carter's only ability.

Carter has a very wide vision, good passing ability, and organizing the team's offense is a piece of cake.

As for the breakthrough, because of his top-level explosive power, Carter's first step is very fast, enough to compete with those top No. 1 positions.

Let's talk about shooting. Since Carter was seriously injured, he has changed from flying to flooring, and his one-handed shots are very accurate.

In the second grade, his three-point shooting percentage reached 40.3%. You must know that his three-point shooting percentage in his rookie season was 28.8%, which was not even up to the average level.He has made more than 40% of his three-pointers in five seasons of his career, with a peak of 42.5%.

This is the real star. It's not that they don't encounter difficulties, but they can constantly change and overcome difficulties.

The funniest thing is that Carter is the first superstar player who is said to not play for a long time with his body, and he has played for 20 seasons in his previous life, and his career is still going on. How about those stars who don’t play with their bodies? How many can do it?
Of course, being half-human and half-god also has shortcomings. Carter's defense is mediocre, he hasn't made the All-Defensive Team, and was ridiculed by "old hooligan" Jordan. This may be the biggest "stain" in his career.

Ye Feng took some time to look through the player reports issued by the coaching staff.

Center: Chris Bosh, 211 cm, 107 kg.

This year's No. 4 pick in the first round is still ahead of Wade.

After the Raptors traded away All-Star center Antonio Davis, Bosh finally secured the team's starting center position.

(A center, not a later power forward.)
Seriously, Bosh was the best big man in the 2003 class because the big men in the 2003 class were so weak.Except for Kaman and West who can still watch, there are no outstanding big men.

In the 2002 class, Yao Ming, Stoudemire, Boozer, Nene, Scola...

Speaking of it, Bosh has his own characteristics, and his moving speed and CIC without dead ends are his advantages.

His breakthrough ability and range beyond the three-point line make him very popular.

(While the [-]-point shot isn't his regular scoring method, he was far more accurate than James in his rookie season.)
Due to the limited tonnage, the big center cannot be guarded.But his ultra-fast movement speed makes his defense very good.This is a lot like Garnett.

His size is also very close to Garnett, but his talent is definitely not as good as Garnett.

Power forward: Tangyell Marshall, 206 cm, 111 kg.

Marshall has a very good three-pointer. At his peak, his hit rate exceeded 40%. The most powerful thing is that he once tied Kobe's record of 12 three-pointers in a single game, but was later broken by Curry. .

At his peak, he averaged more than 10 rebounds per game, and his steals and blocks were above average.

Can protect the basket and have a three-pointer. He is an insider who is very suitable for the small ball era.In the past, he was at least the third leader in any team, the absolute main force of the team.

Small forward: Jalen Rose, 203 cm, 98 kg.

One of the famous Michigan Five Tigers (Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson, Jamie King), representative of late bloomers, only started to break out in the seventh season, averaging 4+20 per game in 4 seasons of his career +4.

He was transferred to the Raptors this season to be Carter's helper, but he has not been able to integrate into the Raptors, and his data has dropped a lot. Many people question that the 31-year-old is old.

Shooting guard: Vince Carter, 198 cm, 100 kg.

Point guard: Alvin Williams, 196 cm, 93 kg.

Absolutely tall No. 1 position, not very accurate three-pointers, only 31.3% shooting rate in his career, and very few shots, is an offensive No. 1 position.

In general, the strength of the five positions of the Raptors is not weak, it just takes time to get these guys together.
