NBA: Opening Template Atsushi Murasakibara

After the game with the Suns, the Warriors returned to their hometown in Oakland to play against the Raptors at home.

Warriors starting, Big Ben, Du Qi, Bowen, Kobe, Nash.

The Raptors starting lineup.

Center, Antonio Davis.

Power forward, Nowitzki.

Small forward, McGrady.

Shooting guard, Peterson.

Point guard, Mark Jackson.

Since the selection of McGrady and Nowitzki, the Raptors have made rapid progress. As a newly established team, it is absolutely historical that such achievements can be achieved.

You know, the Grizzlies, built at the same time as the Raptors, haven't made the playoffs yet, and they're still a lottery team every year.

It can be said that 877 is able to achieve such a result thanks to the general manager of the Raptors.

For the general manager of the Raptors, his name is Ujiri.

Such a simple name has many twists and turns.

In the beginning Ujiri was also a professional player and played in Europe for six years.

Six years of player life also made him more aware of the team's needs for players.

After some tossing and turning, Ujiri went from being an international scout at the beginning to being picked by the Raptors and becoming the team's global scouting director.

Ujiri began to form a deep (bcad) source with the Raptors.

Incorporating McGrady and Nowitzki into the Raptors is one of Ujiri's important contributions to the development of the Raptors.

The game officially started, Du Qi stood on the side of the midfield line, waiting for the jump ball.

Raptors coach Butch Kat sent Davis to jump the ball for the Raptors.

In the jump ball segment, Du Qi successfully grabbed the basketball and won the priority offense.

Du Qi tightened the grabbed ball, then passed the ball from a long distance, and threw the ball directly to Big Ben who was standing inside.

Big Ben is also unequivocal, receiving the pass, he immediately combined the ball and shot, and the basketball fell firmly into the frame.

The Warriors successfully completed the first attack of the game with super fast speed.

Du Qi and Big Ben's ultra-long pass and Big Ben's speed with the ball made it impossible for the Raptors who were ready to defend on the court to start.

He could only watch his teammates fail to jump the ball, and the basketball quickly passed from Du Qi's hand to Big Ben's, and then fell into the basket.

The Warriors put pressure on the Raptors in the first offense.

Raptors ball.

Mark Jackson drives the ball forward.

After crossing the midfield line, facing Nash's defense, Mark Jackson chose to pass the ball to McGrady on the other side.

The 203 cm McGrady is definitely the main force of the Raptors.

McGrady is nearly 206 cm tall in shoes, and has an excellent arms span of nearly 220 cm.

The physical advantage makes McGrady easy to attack.

But Tracy McGrady is by no means a good record based on his height and wingspan.

Although he is tall, he is not inferior in other aspects, such as his jumping ability.

Of course, his jumping ability can not be compared with Jordan, but the jump of 109cm is enough for McGrady to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Because he is tall enough and has a long arm span.

McGrady stretched out his hands and took a pass from Mark Jackson.

Facing Bowen's defense, Mark Jackson chose to shoot directly from the outside after the three threats swayed.

Mark Jackson steps back, closes the ball, and makes the shot.

"Brush~"

With the pleasant sound of the net, the basketball hollowed into the basket.

The Raptors scored a three-pointer on their first offense.
