After laying out his future business plan, Edison flew to Toronto the next day to meet up with the away team.
Since the Grizzlies moved from Vancouver to Memphis, the Raptors have become the last team outside the United States. Although Toronto is also a famous metropolis and even has a higher status in the world than many cities in the United States, it is not affected by it.
The treatment of stars means that few stars are willing to stay here for a long time. So we saw that Carter left later and Bosh also left.
However, this year's Raptors are still very good. No personnel left, and they also signed Alston and Turkoglu in the free market (originally he went to the Magic, but because of Edison's intervention, he came to the Raptors early)
.
The Raptors' starting lineup now is center Bosh, power forward Marshall, small forward Turkoglu, shooting guard Carter, point guard Alston, and one of the "Michigan Five" Jaylen Rose on the bench. This set
The lineup can be said to be quite good, but it just can't produce results. Now it has played 12 games with 5 wins and 7 losses, and the winning rate is less than half.
At 7 pm on December 1, the game between the Raptors and the Magic officially kicked off at the Air Canada Center.
Bosh and Howard are jumping the ball. It can be said that these two are matched against each other and will meet good talents. Howard won't go into details. Everyone knows his physical condition. To use Yao Ming's words, "If you jump the ball in every quarter, then Howard
The team has four more opportunities." And Bosh is not bad either. He is tall and long-armed, and his hand is half a hand higher than Howard. In addition, with his top jumping ability among the league's insiders, he is also a jump ball.
Master.
When he jumped the ball in the past, Edison was very relaxed off the court. He had great trust in Howard and simply felt that the league had given him benefits. But today he was not sure. Not only him, but also the entire Magic bench was extremely nervous.
, watching the two people fighting for the ball with full attention. Even Varejao squatted on the sidelines without caring about his image.
The referee threw the ball up, and two black shadows rose into the sky.
"Dwight, Dwight!" "Chris, Chris!" followed by shouts from the Magic bench, which confused the audience behind.
In the end, Howard jumped faster and passed the ball to Nash first.
Edison was very excited when he saw Howard win the jump ball. He raised his hands to celebrate, then turned around and high-fived Varejao, and then said to Tony Allen, Uncle Huo, Martin and others, "I won, one person and one person."
Don’t forget it.” This was the reason why they were so nervous and excited before.
After Nash received the ball, he quickly advanced, and then remembered what Edison had explained before the game.
"The Raptors have a big problem with perimeter defense. Alston is too thin, Carter is not focused enough, and Turkoglu has nothing. So today we focused our attack on their perimeter, especially Turkoglu.
Gru has this point. So today Wallace is the starter, and everyone else has to open up for him and let him play alone against the Turks. As for Wallace, your task is also very simple, which is to forcefully break through him, and then get inside to create an inside line.
Fouls, if Bosh and Marshall are troubled by fouls, then they are completely out of the game."
Generally speaking, when we say that defense is not good, there are nothing more than four aspects: 1. Slow speed and unable to keep up with others, a typical example is the "little fish" Fisher in the past two years; 2. Poor strength, unable to withstand others.
For example, our Nash; 3. Poor defensive positioning, poor prediction, unable to judge the opponent's route in advance, such as Jr. Smith; 4. Poor defensive enthusiasm, poor defensive performance, such as the Carter-Maddie brothers. Of course there are some
Players take care of two or three of them.
Turkoglu, on the other hand, is a four-rounder. He has all four aspects, and he is the worst in them all. Now I can't imagine how such a player could be a starter for the Spurs or a starter in the playoffs.
, How could Popovich tolerate him? This is so unscientific...
Wallace, who is facing him, is very comprehensive. He has body, strength, speed, can dribble and break through. Although his mid-range shooting is not particularly outstanding, it is also average. The most important thing is to dare to fight and not be afraid.
Hell, even if he was facing O'Neal, as long as the coach asked him to play, he would really rush forward. It can be said that Wallace completely beat Turkoglu in all aspects of offense except his height.
Therefore, the Magic's offense did not stand in a big V like usual, but Howard sank to the baseline, and Josh came to the high post on Howard's side, creating a singles opportunity for Wallace on the weak side.
Based on his later memories, Edison knew that Wallace's later achievements were very good and he was an All-Star player, so he traded for him in the trade with the Bobcats. But when he came to the Magic, Edison did not realize that he had
What's so special about him? Apart from the mental things like active defense and fierce fighting, both his skills and body are average. His shooting is not very accurate, and his dribbling skills are average. He can't do anything fancy. Passing is all about speed.
He is fast, his accuracy is mediocre, his organizational skills are poor, he has no overall perspective, and even Edison's body doesn't find anything remarkable about him, and he is often blocked and knocked away by other players.
Edison once wondered whether he had remembered it wrong, or whether he had an enlightenment process later, but it was not the time now. Although Wallace's performance was poor, his attitude was very good, which made Edison very satisfied.
So he was able to enter the rotation. It wasn't until that game against the Trail Blazers that Wallace had a big explosion and scored 14 points. Only then did Edison understand the reason for his inability.
First of all, Wallace is a competitive player. Although he is very serious in training, he is not excited enough, so he cannot perform 100% to his level.
Secondly, Wallace is a player who mainly relies on his body. The basis for all his subsequent achievements is his excellent physical fitness. In the Magic, he faced Howard, Josh, Marion, Iguodala and others.
, this doesn’t show that his body can do anything good. Because his body no longer has the advantage, he can’t perform in other aspects. And in that game when the Blazers faced the average players in the league, his body
His advantage is beginning to show, especially when he holds the ball and drives hard, which is very threatening. He knocks away the opponent's outside defender first, and then carries the big man inside to the basket, which is particularly domineering.
Facing the opponent's small forward Turkoglu today, Edison decided to use Wallace's frontal attack ability to directly crush the Turk and knock a hole in the Raptors' defensive shell.
In fact, Marion's physical fitness is also very good, and Edison also thought about letting him do this. But his ball-holding ability is so poor that he will not even lower his center of gravity when breaking through. Although his sprint speed with the ball
It is very fast, but has extremely poor flexibility and is extremely bulky. The next fast break is okay, but if it breaks through in the half court, it is almost no threat as long as the opponent is not thrown away by his first step.
It is for this reason that Wallace is allowed to start today.
Wallace is also a rare starter, and now he feels a bit crazy after coming on the court.
"The Magic gave up the high pick-and-roll that they were good at, and now they open up and let Wallace play in isolation. What kind of routine is this? I don't understand it." The Raptors' home commentator was very confused. He sat on the TV
The audience before was also very puzzled. Now the Magic have become the most entertaining team in the league with their fast and smooth offense, more than 10 wonderful dunks in each game and occasional smash-and-smash blocks.
Therefore, many fans will choose to watch Magic games when the team they support is not playing.
Although there was no V-shaped attack, the Magic played just as fast. After others came to open the attack, Wallace immediately ran out of position to catch the ball, and then without any pause, he directly forced a breakthrough...
As mentioned before, after Wallace defeated Turkoglu, he just rushed past Turkoglu as if he was circling a pillar.
When Bosh saw it, he quickly came over to cover up the defense, but as I said before, even O'Neal Wallace was not afraid. Now there was a skinny Bosh, and Wallace ignored him and just went straight into his arms.
rushed, then pushed Bosh away with his shoulder, and succeeded in a layup.
The Magic opened the scoring.
The Raptors didn't care. Marshall served and Alston advanced with the ball.
Everyone is familiar with Alston. If you are looking for the strongest player in the NBA, the answer must be all kinds of things, including Kobe, Iverson, Duncan, etc., but in street ball, Alston
Stone is recognized as the number one, "King of Street Ball".
But like many streetball players, he did not do well in the league. In fact, I think the only streetball player who can adapt to the NBA is "The Goat" Earl Goat, but it is a pity that he has never entered the NBA.
.
Because for ordinary street players, his amazing offensive methods are illegal in the league, so Alston's offensive ability is average, and his ability to stand in the league depends on his organizational ability.
, so Nash can completely guard him.
And Alston didn't expect to score on offense, so he gave the ball to the boss, the "demigod" Carter, after halftime.
When talking about Carter, everyone will think of one word - "dunk". Although it is true, he can be said to be the best dunk player in history. The height, stretch, strength and difficulty of his dunk have all reached the extreme.
.In Toronto, whenever the team steals the ball and Carter plays a fast break, the entire audience will stand up, pay attention to him, and prepare to cheer.
But in fact, Carter's offense is very comprehensive. His three-point shooting is very good, and his shooting percentage remains above 38% all year round. This is a number far above the average. At the same time, his post-up skills are also very outstanding because of his strength.
It's so strong that ordinary defenders can't hold him back.
After Carter received the ball, facing Iguodala who was defending him, he formed a triple-threat posture, capable of breaking out, shooting, and passing.
And Iguodala is well prepared. It is said that Iguodala is quite a tragedy in this book. He was abused by Kobe, Iverson, Pierce and others in turn, and now it is Carter's turn.
Although Iguodala's defensive posture was in place, and his expression was serious and focused, Carter didn't take it to heart at all. He had seen this kind of scene too many times.
Carter bent down, took the ball and swept Iguodala in front of him to give himself space, and then suddenly started. Carter's first step was very fast. His whole body accelerated from standstill to the extreme in an instant, and his clothes were blown away due to inertia.
It's like a sail spread out.
Like an arrow off the string, Carter quickly rushed towards Iguodala. By the time Iguodala reacted, he was already half a body behind, but Iguodala was still quick to catch up and stuck tightly.
Follow his path to the basket.
In the past, if Iguodala dominated this line, the opponent could only move out, because Iguodala is very hard, and most people can't squeeze him, and can only be pushed out by him little by little.
But Iguodala met his opponent today. Carter's strength is very strong. Not to mention the strength of his lower limbs, his upper body strength is also very strong. If you look carefully, his arms are very thick and his shoulders are very round. These are all
A sign of strength.
So when the two met together, Iguodala immediately felt that today's game would be difficult. Past opponents gave him the feeling that they were instantly powerful because they collided with inertia.
As long as you resist this wave, you'll be fine. But today is different. The collision started very hard, but this power did not disappear, but continued to strengthen...
It's not like Iguodala has never encountered players with strong strength before, such as Pierce in the last game, but Pierce is not fast. Carter is fast and strong, so Iguodala was shaken off after two steps.
But Iguodala's defense greatly slowed down Carter, and Josh quickly rushed over to block it head-on.
Both of them jumped up hard, but Josh was tall and long-armed after all, which completely blocked Carter's flight path and did not give him a chance to dunk. However, being flagrantly fouled all the time has allowed Carter to develop another unique skill.
,——A mid-air spin layup.
Josh and Carter collided in the air, and Carter used this force, coupled with his strong abdominal muscles, to rotate 360° with Josh's body as the axis, and then succeeded in a layup.
"Ada!" the host DJ shouted passionately.
Edison looked down, shook his head, and then said to everyone on the bench, "Which of you can do this move? It's so beautiful."
Diaw, who has a free-spirited personality, said, "Turning around, I'm fine, but whether I can score another goal is another matter."
After hearing this, Edison laughed and scolded, "Why don't you just say, you can spin three times on the floor, which is two more times than him."
The other substitutes also laughed when they heard this.
"Carter's goal was very beautiful, but we didn't seem to care about the Magic. Especially their bench was full of smiles. It seems that their head coach is very confident in the tactics he arranged."
Turning around, the Magic still let Wallace play in isolation, but this time the basketball did not slide out of the basket under the influence of Bosh.
Four minutes passed and the two teams were tied at 10-10.

I have a fever now. I will take a rest later. I really can’t code anymore. I’m sorry.
