Highlights of the players' best goals from last season were displayed on the big screen to warm up for the opening game.

When the players came out, the fans began to applaud and cheer. Maddie and Carter finale, O'Neal Jr. came in third-to-last, followed by Billups and Miller.

Miller received less applause, as a floor-flow center, he rarely played domineering dunks, and last season was average, and many fans did not understand how he was designated as one of the core of the new season.

When the Raptors re-signed Miller, many people thought the contract was too high.

CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang reasonably introduced: "What I bring to you today is a key opening game, the Raptors at home against the Heat. In the summer, Yang Rui shouted a slogan to blow up the whole league, and this time he must want to blow up the Heat. ”

Sun Zhengping said: "In the summer, the Raptors traded for the Jazz veteran, known as the 'Death Gun', Hornacek, and the lineup has been strengthened. However, the 24th Russian rookie Kirilenko selected in the first round has not yet landed in the NBA, and they have only one rookie this season, 28-ranked forward Jumaine Jones, who is in the squad today, and I don't know if there is a chance to play. ”

Zhang Li looked at the live broadcast screen and said with a smile: "Jones is the No. 20, the black man with a headband, more conspicuous, and he shot two three-pointers in a row, which feels good." However, Carter and Maddie are here, and it is estimated that he will not be able to play for a few minutes. ”

After the warm-up, the starters of both sides stood in the middle of the field.

Raptors five: Billups, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., Brad Miller.

Heat five: Tim Hardaway, Dan Marley, Mashburn, PJ Brown, Mourning.

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

The Raptors' tactics were eye-catching, Christie passed the ball to Miller, who pulled out the perimeter, and then ran to the bottom right corner, Billups was 70 degrees on the right side, Carter and O'Neal Jr. were on the left, and they all pulled away.

Miller was on the rim in the middle and PJ Brown let him go two steps away.

Last season, one of Brown and Mourning guarded the restricted area, and the other actively blocked and dismantled, blocking the Raptors' breakthrough and preventing the shooting from turning.

Same experience, this time it didn't work.

Miller shook to the side, and suddenly made a jump shot from the middle, and Brown hurriedly stepped forward to interfere, but he didn't have time to jump and block, just reached out.

Miller mainly practiced the middle three-point in the summer, and he prepared for this ball for four months, he felt very soft, and the strength was just right, hollow into the net! 3 to 0.

Zhang Li shouted: "Good shot, Miller really dares to shoot, I think Yang Rui let Miller start, so that he can shoot three points." He wasn't so accurate last season. ”

The starters were earned by Miller, who is a very emotionally intelligent man who knows what to do to meet the coach's requirements.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Miller played Princeton like a fish in water after he became king, but he was used as a blue-collar worker before. It's not a sudden revelation, it's that when the Hornets, Bulls, and Pacers are in the Hornets, the Bulls, and the Pacers, the coach doesn't arrange suitable tactics for him. Now, Yang Rui trained him according to the route of Peak Miller, and he quickly grew up.

The Heat attacked, Hardaway and Mourning played blocking and dismantling in the middle, and O'Neal Jr. changed defenses.

Hardaway took the right side to split the ball into the middle, Mourning squeezed Christie and rushed inside, and Miller dropped back to form a trap.

Mourning split the ball, Brown received the ball in the open position and threw it, and O'Neal Jr., who was retreated, slapped out of the bottom line.

Experience is accumulated, after a fierce playoff game, O'Neal Jr. knows that Brown is a man with no body, no speed, purely by skill and ball sense, this kind of ball will definitely not be brought inside, and he jumps sideways in a very timely manner.

Beautiful blocks boosted the Raptors' morale at home, with throw-ins being sent and everyone following their opponents. Christie's defense against Hardaway is good, and his prediction of breakthroughs is relatively accurate.

Mourning came out to cover again, the Raptors changed defenses quickly, and this time Hardaway forced O'Neal Jr., made a quick layup and missed, and Miller won the rebound.

In the Raptors positional battle, the players pulled away, and the ball was given to Miller again.

O'Neal Jr. gave Carter off-ball cover on the left, who ran 70 degrees to the left and received a pass from Miller.

Mashburn has strong strength and average speed, and he can't catch up after being separated, Mourning hurriedly changed defenses, Carter broke through with the ball and shook a little space, passed the ball to the left, and gave the empty cut to O'Neal Jr.

The range of the two passes and cuts was very small, and O'Neal Jr. rushed up with the ball, took a big stride and turned to the middle, relying on Mashburn to throw the ball in. 5 to 0.

O'Neal Jr. practiced shooting hard according to Yang Rui's requirements, did not gain weight, he did not rely on strength to play, and the turning speed was extremely fast. As an interior lineman, his movements are no slower than Marshburn's, and with his height and reach, it is almost impossible to be blocked.

The Heat attacked, Hardaway brought to the frontcourt, and after blocking and dismantling, he attracted the Raptors inside to shrink the restricted area and pass the ball to Mashburn.

Marshburn leaned his back to Carter on the left side, stepped back and made a jumper, hitting in the middle of the interference. 5 to 2.

The Raptors attacked, Billups brought to the front court and Miller played a block in the middle to the right side, attracting Brown's defense and passing back to the middle. Miller made a clear miss in the face of Hardaway's advantage and passed the ball over his head to the basket.

Carter's side and O'Neal Jr.'s off-ball cover suddenly cut in, got rid of Mashburn and Mourning, jumped up to catch the ball with both hands, stretched the air windmill, and smashed the ball with his right hand! 7 to 2.

This is a slam dunk contest-level match, Carter's head is almost flat frame, and the fans in the audience cheer in unison!

Zhang Li shouted: "This kind of empty catch, no one can deduct it except Carter!" Brad Miller made a beautiful pass and he was very eye-catching today. ”

Sun Zhengping said: "Some fans say that the Raptors should be renamed the Flying Dragons, Carter is indeed a person who can fly, in addition to 'half-human and half-god', he also has a nickname called 'UFO'!" ”

Zhang said with a smile: "Jerry Young made a number of rookies play at a high level last season, and this season it may be Miller's turn." He relied on his height advantage, and it was difficult for the outside to interfere with his passing. Such a player was unexpectedly undrafted in the first draft. ”

The Heat attacked, Hardaway blocked and passed to Mourning, Christie interfered in front of him, the shooting opportunity was not good, Mourning divided Mashburn heads-up again, this time Carter interfered effectively, Mashburn's turnaround jumper missed.

O'Neal Jr. stuck Mourning and helped Miller get the rebound in the backcourt. Billups picked up and slowly dribbled across the half. The Raptors' current lineup doesn't have to be run-and-shoot, and positional battles can also ensure offensive efficiency.

Billups controlled the tempo well, took it to the front court and pretended to give it to Miller, and suddenly hit Hardaway on the right side for a three-pointer. He shot very quickly, dodged the block, and hit another one. 10 to 2.

Except for Christie, the Raptors started to score, and Pat Riley shouted at the players on the sidelines, but if he was close to him, it was not so easy to get around the screener when he encountered a pick-and-roll.

The Heat attacked, passing back and forth and didn't find a space in the end, Mourning's jumper missed the basket, and the rebound was picked up by O'Neal Jr.

Billups continues to control the tempo, and everyone can see that the Raptors' young players are much more solid than they were last season.
