"When you can only sit on the bench and clock in early to get off work."

"And then when I was waving a towel and cheering for my teammates, I was empty-minded and lacking in strength."

"So just now I was joking with the head coach Walton that if I lose the scoring title this season, he has to treat me to a week's dinner to make up for it."

"Because he kept pressing me on the bench, how could it be possible to play the best performance?"

"What do you say the stats of 42 points, 21 rebounds and 7 blocks are crazy too"

"Oh, I'm sorry, when you saw my averages from last season, I think you'll think my performance tonight looked so mediocre."

However, compared to Ren Xiao's casual ridicule and speechless rants, coach Walton, who was sitting next to him, was full of smiles and immediately turned into Ren Xiao's number one tout.

As for the core of the team, he naturally holds his thighs tightly at all times.

You must know that Walton's old teammate is... the same lucky Tyronn Lue, he was also kicked out after James left.

But Ren Xiao has already renewed his 5-year max-salary contract with the Lakers and won't leave if he wants to.

"Ren made a perfect start for us, allowing the players to enter the state calmly and calmly, which is the luxury and happiness of our team."

"The Trail Blazers are a team that has always been aggressive on offense. Their super backcourts, Lillard and McCollum, have created pressure for us time and time again with difficult shots."

"They played great, but we won the final game."

"But I'm very satisfied with the team's defense. They resisted the Blazers' crazy offense and always found a way to block the opponent effectively."

"But no matter how the situation on the field changes, the end result is the same."

"Ren can always use his terrifying dominance to easily destroy the opponent's inside line."

"Even in the face of an opponent's double or even a triple double-team, he can find the best way to contribute to the team and even drive the team's offense."

"You know when Ren dominates both offense and defense, it's an opponent's nightmare!"

"So the game was over, and I had to let this terrifying monster beside me go to rest early."

"It also limited his performance to the usual 42 points, 21 rebounds and blocks."

"Perhaps this statistic is enough for other players to explode into the sky, but it's too sparse for Ren. Last season, he alone scored 50 points, 60 points, 70 points and 80 points in the league. The best."

“…”

Compared with the win in the previous opener, tonight's game victory did not cause much excitement.

After all, the difference between the strength of the two teams is still relatively large.

After the Lakers hurriedly ended the interview, it felt like going home to rest and tidy up.

Tomorrow night they fly to Toronto for back-to-back games against the Raptors.

The distance from Los Angeles to Toronto, Maple Leaf Country is a bit far, and it takes about 5 hours by plane:.

In the offseason, the Spurs and the Raptors' star trade was once a sensation in the league.

Leonard, who was clamoring for a trade, was kept in the freezer for almost a season before he could make it to his hometown of Los Angeles.

Not only did he not join the Lakers, he also did not join the Clippers.

Instead, it was sent by the Spurs to the icy Toronto Raptors, a team in a foreign country.

It can be seen from this.

The Spurs and the old fox Popovich are so disappointed with the superstar Leonard that they cultivated by themselves, and even sent him to the farthest team.

It not only eliminates the icing on the cake for the Western League competitors, but also gives a bad breath.

Leonard, who joined the Raptors, immediately became the team's leading star, giving the Raptors the confidence to fight for the championship as they tried to break out of the Eastern Conference.

Although James is still there: the Eastern Conference, even with the help of the two giants of Durant and Jordan.

But compared to the teams that have faced James in the past few seasons, the Raptors with a better record have always been eliminated.

Especially last season, the Raptors had the best record in team history, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

With the departure of Irving, the Cavaliers led by James have been traded in the offseason, and the locker room factions and infighting have continued.

In the end, the Cavaliers, who fought bravely in the finals for three consecutive years, lost their fighting spirit, like a mess of sand.

At one point, they dropped to third-last in the East and looked like they were about to fall apart.

However.

The 33-year-old No. [-] player in the league did not give up and played at the peak of his career.

Abruptly put the Cavaliers into the top four in the Eastern Conference, and swept the Raptors with a 40-point score.

Finally out of the Eastern Conference, once again reached the finals.

nowadays.

The Raptors have Leonard, the... superstar, and have the confidence to fight against James.

After all, everyone knows that Leonard is famous because he got it by defending James as much as possible in the finals.

And the third opponent of the Lakers in the new season is... the Raptors who have greatly increased their confidence.

The game is also broadcast live nationwide.

All eyes are on! Everyone wants to see if Leonard arrives at the Raptors, whether he can take this playoff team into a dragon and fight against last season's championship.

National Nov. 11.

Ren Xiao followed the team and arrived at Toronto Pearson International Airport at more than [-] pm that day.

Came to Toronto in the Maple Leafs to play against the Raptors.

Check in to the hotel where the team is staying.

A short break of less than two hours.

Ren Xiao followed the Lakers to the Raptors' home arena.

Maple Leaf National Aviation Center Arena.

The entire team conducts adaptive training and interviews with the media.

"Coach Wharton, what do you think of... tonight's opponent"

"The Raptors are a very strong team, and they traded for Leonard in the offseason, which made them even more powerful.

It's going to be a fantastic game tonight, and it's not going to be easy to take a win at home for the Raptors."

"Then are you optimistic about the Raptors rushing out of the East this season? Also, do you have confidence in defending Leonard, who is rated as the strongest in the league with a balanced offense and defense?"

"Whether the Raptors can rush out of the East and enter the finals, I think you should ask them, and also ask the Nets and other super-strength teams in the East.

As for you saying that Leonard is the best offensive and defensive player in the league, I disagree with this..

To know that Ren won last season's regular season, scoring title, shot blocking title and Defensive Player of the Year, not to mention countless other honors, even the finals, I don't know these... .....Does the award prove that Ren is the best offensive and defensive player in the league?"

Coach Walton replied with a smile, and then made a haha: "We don't have the confidence to guard Leonard. You can see it in tonight's game."

“…”

Since the game started at 19:[-] local time, the training arranged by the Lakers was not very intense.

When all the Lakers arrived at the arena, the Raptors, who were playing at home, had just finished their pre-game training and left the field one by one.

Ren Xiao saw Leonard, who was traded to the Raptors by the Spurs in the offseason, and walked at the back of the team.

He still maintained that expressionless, cold and paralyzed face.

There is no communication with teammates, let alone mingling.

Think about it right.

As far as Leonard's introverted and stubborn character is concerned, he always maintains a cold side to the outside world... as if to remind strangers not to disturb.

For strangers or teammates and coaches, he will not open his heart to trust.

Even if he personally traded him to the Spurs at the beginning, he also tapped Popovich to become a top superstar.

without any exaggeration.

Leonard's ability to become a superstar on the Shining Stage is the main reason for his personal strength.

But this also has a huge relationship with the Spurs' owner to the management, as well as the careful training of the team's head coach Popovich, and the guidance of the big brother.

Leonard was once regarded as Duncan's successor, and even the old fox Popovich made an exception for him.

Before even three superstars, especially Duncan... a powerful forward.

Popovich, who pays attention to teamwork, expressly prohibits it and requires players not to play selfishly.

It is best for a player to take no more than 20 shots, and try not to score more than 30 points in a game.

This is also why the No. 21 rookie debuted at the peak, but was unable to produce violent personal data.

So what the outside world sees in Duncan is his rock-solid performance.

The nickname Shifo does not just refer to his expressionless face, dull eyes, and miserly smile.

It is also said that the tall man is as strong as a stone tower in defense, and his performance is still stable and outrageous.

However.

With the increase of age, the strength on the court declines sharply.

Spurs coach Popovich personally established Leonard as the new core.

Even in order to maximize the display of offensive and defensive talents for the proud disciple, he was given unlimited firing power.

So obviously in the Spurs team that pays attention to teamwork, Leonard can make more than 20 shots in a single game as he wants, and even once shot 3 times.

The score also broke through 30 points again and again, and even scored a career-high 41 points for the Spurs.

Became the first Spurs player to score 201+ points in a game since Tony Parker's 2 in February 42.

Leonard, who had unlimited firing rights in the 201 season, scored at least 32 points for the 30nd time in a single season, continuing to set his record for scoring 30+ games in a single season.

And created a record since Popovich coached the Spurs, surpassed David Robinson and George Gervin in the history of the Spurs, and refreshed the record of 30+ games in a single season for the first time in the history of the Spurs.
