In the first phase of the NBA's official power rankings, the Raptors ranked first, followed by the Lakers, Knicks, Spurs, Kings, 76ers, and Heat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Knicks became the team that rose the most in the rankings, and the pundits unanimously favored Grant Hill, sending Houston away in exchange for him, and it felt like a shotgun change.

The Knicks have Glenn Rice, a former All-Star, who also retains a three-point shooting spot.

Ewing left, and everyone felt that the Knicks would not be weakened because of this, but were optimistic about Ben Wallace becoming an All-Star. In Ewing's absence, the Knicks had a better win percentage, and Wallace was amazing on the defensive end.

The Heat ranked behind the 76ers because before the game started, Mourning was diagnosed with kidney disease, and the strength of the Heat, who lacked an interior core, dropped significantly.

The biggest sliders in the Western Conference are the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves.

The Trail Blazers are ranked 13th, taking an important interior bench Brian Grant and sending Camby, Sabonis is a year older, and the interior strength has dropped significantly. Pippen's state is worse every year, and it is even more disappointing.

The Timberwolves are only ranked 16th and barely made the playoffs, and Joe Smith's "yin-yang contract" scandal has finally been exposed.

The Timberwolves were severely sanctioned by the league office, stripped of their first-round picks for the next five years plus a $3.5 million fine, and Joe Smith was forced to become a free agent, and teams with less than 15 rosters could sign him.

The Lakers are still low-key, but they are not very comfortable in their hearts. Experts are not optimistic about the Lakers, not because the lineup is worse than the Raptors, but because they have not succeeded and are habitually looked down upon.

Yang Rui was interviewed and shouted the slogan of winning the championship as usual. "We were already champions last season, and if we fail to defend our title, we will be regressed. So, I said I don't care about the record, do you believe it? ”

On October 31, the Raptors opened at home against the Pacers, an old rival in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The first game of the Western Lakers against the Trail Blazers, the league is still the same as in the past, a game with gimmicks.

The Pacers were easily swept by the Raptors in the playoffs, losing ugly, and in the summer they took two starters inside and outside, Dale Davis and Mark Jackson, and their strength declined. But the arrival of center Marcus Camby has made everything interesting, and many people wonder how Camby can play against his old boss?

In the morning training, the veteran players were relaxed, chatting about Facebook board games in the locker room.

The popularity of the Minion Farm has passed, this kind of game is fast to attract users, but it is also fast to get tired of playing, once the land is fully opened, the crops can be planted, and the freshness is lost. After upgrading, there is the content of the processing plant, and it is only a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

In August, Facebook launched a game platform, which is no longer a simple game section, but can play all kinds of board games.

Go, Chess, Lianliankan, Texas Hold'em and more, players can log in to the gaming platform using the same Facebook account.

With two playoffs and a championship, the confidence of the Raptors' core players has been built up, and they don't believe they will lose to the Pacers.

Yang Rui didn't believe it either, O'Neill Jr. and Carter didn't train much in the training camp, and they didn't play in the preseason, and their physical strength was replenished in a month, and the team was not in bad shape.

The Pacers are far worse than the stars, and the core Jalen Rose will miss two to four weeks due to a right hamstring strain in the preseason, and will not be able to play in the opener.

In the summer, the head coach of the Pacers changed, Larry Bird changed to team manager, and the coach was "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, this is his first time as a head coach, he has little experience, and he has not even been an assistant coach before.

The media generally believes that there is no suspense in this game, and Thomas's first game in charge of the championship is definitely a big test.

In the evening, the players came out and Marcus Camby was booed by the home fans.

When he was with the Raptors, Camby always felt like he was high and up, and he didn't say anything good about the Raptors when he left, and now his old club has become a championship team, but he was swept away by the Trail Blazers, which is extremely ironic, and Raptors fans love to hear it.

Camby pretended to be indifferent, but was actually so depressed that he wanted to kill himself. He didn't earn a big contract, he didn't accumulate popularity, and he joined the Pacers, and his tactical position was not as good as Austin Crohill.

The championship ring presentation ceremony was held at the home stadium, and the players took turns to receive the rings, and two retired players, Jeff Hornacek and Detreve Schramf, also arrived on the scene and received their own rings.

They watched the game from the sidelines and became guests of the game. Players who have already transferred to another team will receive a ring when they play away from home.

The players warm up and the game is about to begin.

This season, the Raptors have won the most games in the league, and China's CCTV5 also broadcasts the game live.

Zhang Li said: "Yang Rui said in an interview that he would reuse rookie Michael Reed, and today he started, and the other four were starters from last season, Billups, Carter, O'Neal Jr., and Brad Miller. ”

Partner Xu Jicheng said: "The Pacers have changed four people in the starter, and their strength is obviously not as good as the Raptors, I think the suspense today is not winning or losing, but how long the Pacers can hold up into garbage time." ”

The crowd didn't take the Pacers seriously, and their starters were too shabby: Travis Best, Reggie Miller, Crohill, Sam Perkins, Camby.

The 40-year-old veteran Perkins entered the starting lineup, which surprised Yang Rui, the Pacers simply despised the Raptors, and he couldn't think of how Perkins could defend O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball and the game began.

Billups received the ball and passed to Carter, and the players pulled away, with Billups and O'Neal Jr. on the left and Brad Miller and Reed on the right. Carter in the middle holds the ball and is one-on-one with Crohill.

Carter has faced defenders like Maddy, Christie, and White Bowen in the Raptors for two seasons, and he went to the Dream Team to go head-to-head with the stars, and he has no pressure against players like Crohill who have poor defense at the No. 3 position.

He took a step to the right with a continuous crotch dribble, attracted the opponent's center of gravity to shift, and then slapped the ball with his right hand to change direction with his left hand, shaking off a position, and making a jump shot before the free throw line.

With no one to defend in front of him, Carter made a solid shot for the Raptors for the first time of the season. 2 to 0.

The Pacers attacked, and the formation was also stretched, with Best and Camby blocking and dismantling in the middle.

Miller switched in time, Billups also bypassed the chase and formed a trap, and Best hurriedly passed the ball to the middle and gave it to Camby, who was let go.

Camby has been playing off the bench with the Trail Blazers and rarely has a chance to shoot, and Dunleavy has never arranged a catch-and-shoot for him. He was low on confidence in this position, and the fans on the sidelines booed neatly to put pressure on him.

Camby hesitated for a moment and passed the ball to Reggie Miller, who was running. Don't dare to shoot, sometimes it's more terrible than shooting iron. Canby doesn't even have the guts to shoot, what else can he do on the offensive end? He is destined to be a blue-collar worker for the rest of his life.

Reggie Miller faced Carter's defense, couldn't get rid of it, and then distributed the ball to Perkins on the perimeter, who couldn't beat O'Neal Jr. and had to find another teammate.

Nearly 24 seconds were running out, Best forced a pull-up jumper in the face of Billups, and Brad Miller grabbed the rebound.

The Pacers have too few starting offensive points to break down the Raptors' defense.
