NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 22

The next game is the Kings hosting the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors let go of McGrady because they had Vince Carter.

Carter is now the face of the Raptors, averaging 24.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals, All-Star starter, dunk champion, and All-NBA second team.

More importantly, he is still holding a child labor contract, and his salary this season is only 307 million, ranking 8th in the Raptors.

The Raptors have a lot of cap space.

If he was in New York, or in Los Angeles, or even in Miami, the team would match him with the right lineup and join the championship.

But Toronto in the far north can't attract too many stars, and the Raptors' management is obviously average. Now their starting lineup is center Olajuwon, power forward Anthony Davis, small forward Morris- Peterson, offensive guard Vince Carter, point guard Alvin Williams.

Olajuwon's fuel tank is almost out of gas. He only started 37 games this season, with an average playing time of about 20 minutes. After playing this season, he will retire.

That's right, the old Olajuwon played for the Rockets for more than a dozen seasons, but left the Rockets in the last year and bid farewell to the court in the Raptors.

"Hey, Max, did you see Olajuwon? It took him only 2 years from never playing basketball to entering the national team!" Bobby Jackson sat on the bench and poked his elbow He poked Lu Yuanzhi's waist and eyes, and said happily.

Fuck! 2 years?Enter the national team?

Olajuwon, you have a system, right?

After only learning football for 2 years, he entered the dream team!

Huh?its not right!Lu Yuanzhi suddenly came to his senses, "Which national team? The Nigerian national team?"

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi was not fooled, Bobby Jackson giggled.

What are you talking about about the Nigerian national basketball team? The people there all play football. They are known as the African Eagles. Everyone wants to earn a future by playing football, and then play in the top five European leagues.

basketball?

You go to count how many baskets Nigeria has, let's talk about basketball!
Lu Yuanzhi watched Carter's dunk performance for more than a quarter in the best auditorium, and was replaced in the second half of the second quarter to mark Carter.

At this time, the score had reached 45:32. The Kings were almost losing the game at home, and the Raptors had no ability to resist.

In the first round when Lu Yuanzhi marked Carter, he used the Deny defense strategy, trying to deal with Carter the same way he dealt with his cousin Tracy McGrady.

But Carter is not McGrady. He has received systematic tactical training in North Carolina, and he can handle defenses that do not allow him to catch the ball with ease. Williams' pass alley-oop dunk.

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie!" Carter spread his hands and ran past Lu Yuanzhi.

Hey, forget this, Carter is one of the best off-ball skills among the four shooting guards. He can seize every gap to throw off the defender, and then get inside for a violent dunk.

Without this skill, he would not be able to partner with Jason Kidd in the Nets and play a wonderful passing game.

Using the Deny defensive strategy in front of him, isn't that giving him points?

Lu Yuanzhi immediately adjusted his defensive strategy, that is, ordinary marking, with his 228 cm long arms stretched out, which seemed to block the sky and the sun.

Carter tried to break through several times. Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi could keep up with him, he did not force an attack and gave the ball to his teammates.

Hey, that's Carter's problem, he plays too reasonable.

Look at the other three "big four shooting guards", Iverson, McGrady and Kobe, which one is reasonable to play?

Catch you and you'll be beaten.

Although there may be too many irons at the moment and the offense seems unreasonable, if you want to give the ball to your teammates, they won't even find a chance to take action!
Carter, who plays too reasonably, usually cannot completely defeat his opponents through a wave of unreasonable attacks. This is why in the eyes of many fans, Carter's physical fitness is obviously the best among the four shooting guards, but he is the most The weak one.

Since Carter didn't come to beat Lu Yuanzhi forcefully, Lu Yuanzhi would have extra energy to devote to attacking.

After Stojakovic's explanation in the previous game, Lu Yuanzhi gradually figured out the tricks of off-ball offense. Returning to the Kings offensive round, taking advantage of the moment when Carter was observing Mike Bibby holding the ball, Lu Yuanzhi accelerated and ran towards the inside. , got rid of Carter's marking.

Olajuwon was very experienced. He observed Lu Yuanzhi's movements, but his athletic ability was severely reduced, and his toes were less than ten centimeters from the ground. It was impossible to stop Lu Yuanzhi.

After receiving Bibby's wonderful pass, Lu Yuanzhi didn't want to pay attention to Olajuwon who was holding the French military salute. He slammed the ball into the basket heavily, and even imitated Carter and stuffed his entire arm into the basket.

"Max-Lu!"

The announcer at the king's scene dragged his tone, mobilizing the atmosphere of the audience.

Huge cheers erupted from the audience. This dunk is really beautiful, with stretched movements and full vacancy, and the last arm stuffed into the basket has a weird and violent beauty.

The most important thing is that this is Carter's signature move to defend Lu Yuanzhi.

The on-site camera also swept towards the auditorium very face-saving, where a few fans had already put on Lu Yuanzhi's No. 77 jersey.

Yes, Lu Yuanzhi chose the number 77 as soon as he learned that he had a basketball system.

God has 100 points, gave Jordan 23, and then gave me the remaining 77.

This was a bad idea that Lu Yuanzhi had planned at the beginning, waiting for him to use the system to dominate the NBA. Unfortunately, the system was not powerful, and he was almost sent to the Development League.

Now he doesn't dare to mention this rotten meme, but the number has been reported to the alliance and cannot be changed. He just hopes that he can type it out sooner and use this rotten meme sooner.

"Thank you for your welcome!" When Lu Yuanzhi passed by Carter, he also spread his hands and replied with a trash talk.

Going back to the Raptors offense, it was supposed to be provoked, and Carter should get back on the court, but he didn't seem to have such a plan. Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi didn't lose his position on defense, he passed the ball again, and then he was fooled by the old Olajuwon. lost.

After Lu Yuanzhi stole the trick of off-ball offense from Stojakovic, the means to participate in the offense suddenly became more numerous.

He will still actively do off-ball screens, and then quickly insert into the basket while Carter observes the ball holder.

The Princeton system would have stretched the interior very wide, but Olajuwon was slow and unable to return to the defense in time, and Anthony Davis, who was only 206 cm tall, had a worrying ability to protect the basket. The ability to fight against the finish at the basket ravaged the Raptors' basket.

The one who interfered the most with Lu Yuanzhi's drive to the basket was actually Carter. With a strong body and excellent jumping ability, he succeeded in chasing and defending many times. After physical confrontation, he forced Lu Yuanzhi to miss the layup.

But the basket is the basket after all, even if Carter kept disturbing him, Lu Yuanzhi still scored 16 points, 10 blocks, 2 rebounds and 5 assist in 1 minutes of the game, which is considered a qualified answer.

After easily defeating the Raptors at home 100:86, the Kings did not have to travel too much, and continued to usher in another challenger at home, the Chicago Bulls.
