Chapter 640 [Debilitated Raptors, a profitable deal]

On the evening of the 25th, the game between the Bulls and the Raptors was held on time at the Air Canada Stadium. $℉,

The Bulls have adjusted their lineup, with one big leading four small ones. Calderon, Wang Jun, Hill, Barnes, Oden.

Raptors: Darrick Martin, Anthony Parker, Jamalio Moon, Luol Deng, Bosh.

The Raptors also played small-ball tactics at the beginning, and Luol Deng was better than Bargnani on both offense and defense. This made Luol Deng a little upset. His favorite position is small forward, but he often played at the 4th position when he was in the Bulls, and it was the same when he came to the Raptors.

When Zhang rationally analyzed the lineup, he said: "Many teams are now imitating the Bulls' style of play. The outside line is an offensive player with the ball and two players who can shoot three-pointers. The inside line is one high and one fast, and can defend the penalty area and the pick-and-roll. .It’s hard for high center forwards to play now, and they are easy to be passed by guards when they are misplaced, and it’s not easy to interfere with the opponent’s big man pulling the outside shot.”

Yu Jia sighed: "This is bad news for Yao Ming, his movement speed is slow, Yi Jianlian is okay, and his statistics are outstanding when he is on the side."

Zhang Lili said: "The Raptors have played a non-drafted NBA player. Moon used to play Harlem basketball. He has strong physical fitness, is good at dunking, and is also good at defense. Today he should be the main defense of Wang Jun. "

Mu En and Wang Jun stood together, feeling very excited. This is the most severe test he has faced since entering the NBA, and it is also an opportunity.

As a player born in 1980, he can definitely be called an older rookie. He failed to participate in the draft that year, and was not even selected by a strong college team. He was still struggling in the minor leagues half a year ago, and he received a check of up to one thousand yuan a week.

Now he has finally joined the NBA relying on defense. He wants to prove that he can defend top players and strive for a big contract in the future.

Luol Deng and Bosh are also ready to switch to the pick-and-roll at any time, vowing not to let Wang Jun get 50+ again.

Coach Sam Mitchell believes that to win the Bulls, it is necessary to defend Wang Jun. The tactic is man-to-man, double-teaming inside the three-point line. Whether he can defend it depends mainly on the defensive performance of the players.

Oden won the jump ball. Game start.

Wang Jun ran, and Oden received the pass without the ball in the middle and went to the right corner, which attracted Luol Deng to switch defenses, and he passed the ball to Hill. The bottom line stands firmly to open up space.

Hill didn't play alone against Parker, but lobbed the ball to Oden who cut to the low post.

Skiles has been arranging the outside main attack not to target Oden, but knowing his lack of dominance on the offensive end, if the opponent is weak inside,

He will also give the inside performance opportunities.

This year the Raptors are Bosh guest center. Without Nesterovic, Skiles arranged for Oden to be hoisted, and the two were not of the same tonnage.

Oden received the ball and leaned against Bosh in the low position on the right side, turned to the bottom line and beat his opponent to hit cricket with one hand. 2 to 0.

The Raptors attack, the Bulls are man-to-man, Wang Jun is responsible for guarding the ball guard Darrick, Calderon is responsible for defending Moon, Hill is defending Parker, Barnes is dealing with Luol Deng, and Oden is on the inside.

Moon's offensive ability with the ball is abysmal. Calderon is enough, and Luol Dun pulls out to play as a point forward, which has obvious mobility advantages against the inside line, but not against Barnes.

Barnes refused to accept Luol Deng in the team training last season. The two often singled out, and Luol Deng could not score easily in front of him. After he arrived in the Raptors, his data improved, but his skills did not improve much, and his shots missed under interference.

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

Wang Jun dribbled the ball across the half court, then slightly changed direction and led veteran Martin to the basket. Martin reached out to gamble and failed to steal. Wang Jun took three steps and scored with a one-handed dunk in the middle. 4 to 0.

The Raptors are in a positional battle. If Ford is playing a pick-and-roll with Bosh, he will be very threatening, and the small man can break through. The big man can shoot. Now it's Darick, the pick-and-roll tactics can't be played, and it can't stand out at all.

Oden switched defenses to block the breakthrough route, Darick passed the ball to Bosh in the middle, and Wang Jun immediately got close.

Bosh was immediately discouraged, and Wang Jun was the nemesis of his kind of insiders. He trained with Wang Jun for two weeks in the summer. Both offense and defense made Wang Jun tortured a lot.

Bosh's offense is mainly facing the frame, relying on his height advantage to shoot jumpers directly, or relying on technology to single out big men to break through.

Once Wang Jun is close to Bosh, there is no way to deal with it, he can only pass the ball. He is very strong in squeezing Wang Jun, and he will not be easily squeezed away. If he breaks through the frame, he may lose the ball and cannot pass.

The Raptors' offense is awkward, they can stretch inside, but they don't have arrows who are good at attacking with the ball. They need a star like Kobe and Wade to really rise.

Luol Deng can play with the ball, but his speed is not fast, his explosive power is poor, and he is far behind.

It took almost 24 seconds for the Raptors players to pass back and forth. Parker forced a shot to avoid Hill's block and scored a three-pointer from the right. 4 to 3.

The ball was blinded, and Hill's hand was already sealed to his face.

The Bulls attacked and all opened up. Wang Jun received the ball from outside the three-point line. Oden didn't come out to cover, and he got the chance to single-handedly.

Just a rookie, or a non-draft, how strong can it be? Wang Jun thought to himself.

Seeing that no one came out to double-team, he immediately decided to play singles. He dribbled twice under the crotch and took a step forward. Mu En quickly followed.

Wang Jun leaned back to protect the ball, avoided the press, leaned again with the ball in his left hand, turned around and retreated in the middle, and shook the ball with both hands.

Mu En flew up immediately, jumping lightly in the air.

His playing style is too wild, and he has a bad habit of playing too many exhibition games in Harlem basketball. From time to time, he wants to show his jumping ability. He is a small forward, but he averaged 1.4 blocks per game, the highest in the team, and he especially loves to jump.

Players who like to jump can easily get good blocking data, but frontal defense and jumping players generally don't have good results. Wang Jun ran towards Mu En, and missed the basket with a one-handed throw, causing a foul.

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

The Raptors attacked, Darrick passed the pass to Bosh and opened it on the outside. Bosh singled Oden, stretched the baseline and stepped back and made a mid-range shot.

He dodges the block, misses a shot with interference, and Barnes grabs a backcourt rebound and passes it to Hill.

Hill passed to Wang Jun. Wang Jun received the ball near the midfield and forced a breakthrough against Martin, which attracted Parker to double-team and pass the ball to the outside. Calderon shot from a 50-degree open space on the right, and the ball went into the net hollow. 9 to 3.

Everyone in the Raptors has an ominous premonition that this is going to be bad.

Mitchell is very depressed that the team lost Calderon, he is more accurate than everyone on the current team.

The Raptors attacked, and Luol Deng broke through with the ball and was double-teamed inside the three-point line. He distributed the ball, and Daric was completely emptied on the outside.

But he didn't have the confidence to shoot a three-pointer. He took a step to the right and missed the basket. The rebound was grabbed by Oden again.

Zhang Lili commented: "Not all veterans can help the team. Darick is too bad, and his shooting percentage has just reached 30%. If the Raptors don't trade for a qualified point guard to fill Ford's vacancy, this season It's hard to make the playoffs."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "The Bulls made money in exchange for Calderon and a first-round pick, but they will definitely have to give the Spanish guard a big contract if they want to renew the contract next year. He is definitely in demand in the free market."
