Chapter 116: The Dragon King's Roar

"New season, new look! Welcome to the T-N-T live broadcast room, I am your old friend Kenny Smith, sitting next to me is the spherical superstar Sir Charles, the 2006-2007 NBA regular season, finally rekindled the fire!! ”

“WO-HOOOO!”

On the live broadcast seat, Barkley looked very excited, his hands were waving in the air, his fat body was shaking, and he looked quite greasy.

“FINALLY! FINALLY! The new season has finally begun! Fans, chant three times with me: WULAAAA!! ”

Finally waiting for the NBA broadcast of the new season, Barkley and Smith, two professional players-turned-commentators, can't wait and are full of anticipation for the game.

"The game I share with you today is the Philadelphia 76ers' home game against the Toronto Raptors, a powerhouse in the same district, which is the first game of the new season between the two teams, and there are a lot of highlights!"

Kenny Smith looked at the pre-match materials in his hand and introduced: "Everyone knows that in the offseason, Salmons' trade issue was in a big uproar. At the beginning, Philadelphia and Toronto had already discussed, Salmons went to the North to develop, and Toronto even gave a starting commitment. ”

"As a result, Salmons didn't want to go abroad, so he refused to report, and in the end, Philadelphia had no choice but to reach an agreement with Sacramento, and finally sent away this 'trouble'."

"In this year's draft, Toronto came out on top, signing Italian big man Banyani with the top pick. The depth on the inside has been improved again, and the front court is quite thick. ”

"Bosh gradually showed the style of the star last season, and after losing the UFO Vince Carter, the Dallas interior Raptors became the captain of the team, averaging 22.5 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game."

"Although the style of play is on the outside side, many times the skills of small forwards are used, but this data shows that in today's NBA, it can be regarded as a first-line interior star!"

"That's right, that's right."

Barkley continued: "After all, the current NBA is full of girls who shoot on the outside, which is different from when we were back, huh?" ”

"You're embarrassed to say as if I haven't fought you on the court." Kenny Smith smiled: "If you want to play big forward with small forward, you can be regarded as one of the originators!" ”

"Nonsense!" Barkley said with a fat face: "Lao Tzu's back is very sharp, and it can be ranked among the top five in history...... No, the top three! ”

Ignoring Barkley's poor mouth, Smith continued to analyze: "This season, Bosh was registered as a center, but in fact, after playing, Nesterovic was the center choice, and Bosh still appeared in the power forward position. Champion star Banyani plays the role of the sixth man. ”

"Outside god pitcher Anthony Parker, coupled with the speeding sports car TJ Ford, supplemented by the king of the Spanish league Gabajosa, the starting lineup of the Raptors can be said to be an international column, and the strength should not be underestimated."

"On the bench, the Raptors also have Morris Piterson, Calderon, Fred Jones, Graham, Humphries and other players, before the start of the season, many people thought that this season the Raptors definitely have a chance to compete for the top spot in the Atlantic region."

"Is that true, last season the Raptors had a terrible record like a bad pizza, 27-55? In the East End? Are you kidding me? Barkley shook his head disdainfully and said, "In our time, this kind of record would be laughed at for a lifetime in the East End!" ”

"But this season is different, the power in the Atlantic region has changed, the Nets are either advancing or retreating, and the interior is still a piece of flying. New York and Boston? Hehe, let me vomit for a while. ”

"As for the 76ers sitting at home today, I think it's enough to choke, and after leaving Salmons, what are the things that have been added in? Carney? Amundson? Are we filming Sesame Street? ”

Barkley's complaints, although sharp, are indeed true. The Raptors in the new season have a full lineup and high expectations. The 76ers are getting weaker and weaker, the main stars are declining, and the role players are embarrassed. The only thing that can make Philadelphia fans talk about ** is probably the "talent" that I don't know when it will be realized.

"Before the start of the season, our T-N-T review team conducted a prediction evaluation, and more than a dozen experts agreed that the Raptors could eventually achieve a 44-38 record, ranking 10th in the league. The 76ers, on the other hand, are 32-50 and eighth from bottom in the league. ”

Kenny Smith took the analysis and said, "How many 76ers games did we broadcast last season? 3 games? Is there 4 games? For a team with Iverson and Webb, the poor number of broadcasts is due to the 76ers' poor record. ”

"If the 76ers haven't picked up by the middle of the season, I can only say sorry to the 76ers fans who aren't in Philadelphia, and according to our current broadcast plan, the 76ers will broadcast a maximum of two games throughout the season."

"These two games are still for the sake of Aaron's face!" Barkley shook his head and said, "If Aaron leaves, I don't even want to come to Philadelphia!" ”

"Having said so much about the shortcomings of the 76ers, let's also talk about hope." Kenny Smith said: "In this season's pre-season, three young players in the core of the squad have played well and have made great strides compared to last season. ”

"Korver's stamina and crosshairs, Iguodala's all-round skills, and of course the defensive ability of our Sir Charles' favourite Chinese boy, Chen Mu, have all improved. From this point of view, it seems that the future of the 76ers is still bright. ”

"Haha, Chinese boy, MYBOY!"

As soon as Chen Mu was mentioned, Barkley burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "Great, he's great, with the demeanor of my youth!" Judging from the preseason, the defense has also improved a lot, especially in the first game against the Bucks, which directly called the Korean big man......"

Smith reminded, "Hesheng Town. ”

"OH YES, HA-SUCK-JIN." Barkley played a pun and said disdainfully: "Chinese boy, just swept this guy out of the house, played with no face, and was cut by the Bucks as soon as the game ended." And from now on, it is estimated that I will never be able to return to the NBA! ”

"That dunk, that block, that pass, that rebound, tsk......" A complicated look appeared on Barkley's face, and he didn't know if he was feeling pity for the tragic experience of the big hippo, and shook his head and said: "The evolution of the Chinese kid is simply endless!" ”

"Last season, Boshk was a Chinese kid who had been repaired and couldn't find the north, 30+10 performance, completely crushing the performance, once pushed the Chinese kid to the forefront." Smith chimed in: "What about today? Sir Charles, do you think the Chinese kid has a chance to pull back a game today? ”

"Ha, first of all, Chinese fans, I am a fan of Chinese kids, a die-hard fan." Barkley smiled awkwardly: "However, the preseason and the regular season are completely different, suppressing Hesheng Town? Any NBA rotation-level interior player can do that. But in the face of Bosh, MYBOY is afraid that he will have to suffer a lot~"

The views of Barkley and Smith are also the views of many football commentators before the game.

Chen Mu's defense has improved, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. But can this kind of improvement support him still play strongly in the regular season against the star-level inside? Most people are cautious.

On the court, the referee blew the whistle, and the first game of the 76ers of the new season finally kicked off.

Bosh replaced the poorly bouncing Nesterovic with a jump ball and easily won the ball over Hunter's head.

Ford, the sports car that had just arrived at the Raptors, dribbled the ball, and after getting to the frontcourt, the players ran quickly, and Bosh received the ball on the strong side.

Turning to the frame, Bosh didn't hesitate to shoot a step-back jumper, and the basketball easily went through the net.

"Beautiful! Bosh's mid-range shots are getting more and more accurate! ”

Smith shouted, and Bosh on the field was looking around with angry eyes, looking around like a velociraptor and domineering.

The 76ers attacked, Iverson held the ball and went heads-up, Ford tried his best to catch up, but was still shaken off by the scoring champion and hit a shot.

The Raptors quickly served the baseline ball, and Bosh, who was the pillar of the team's interior line, rushed to the front court like a deer, received the ball a little in the middle of the march, and flew the chasing Iguodala into the air, and then strode into the interior and scored a violent dunk.

"Roar!!

After the score, Bosh was very excited, his long neck stretched out and roared loudly, and the fans in the stadium fell silent, and the ominous premonition in his heart rose.

Bosh is extremely fast, shoots accurately, runs and jumps with excellent quality, and has an incredibly long arm. Who in the 76ers can restrain him?

The 76ers missed the attack, Bosh grabbed the rebound, quickly threw it to Ford to advance, and he quickly ran to the frontcourt.

Anthony Parker missed a three-pointer, and Bosh came out from the weak side, distributed the rebound to the outside again, and then quickly cut outside to block Gabajosa who had the ball.

The Spaniard took advantage of the situation to break inside, and the strange big picture view unique to European players came into play, taking away Webb, who was defending Bosh, and then suddenly passed back, and Bosh received the ball firmly outside the three-point line.

"Huh"

The basketball fell into the frame, the whole court was silent, and Bosh took the lead in the opening, scoring 7 points in a row, unstoppable.

"Chris Bosh! The range has been developed beyond the three-point line! HOHO! Is this the ultimate form of the future power forward? ”

As Smith spared no effort to praise, Chen Mu on the bench vaguely remembered that although Bosh's three-point shots this season were far less frequent than those in the Heat in the future, he had already been quite accurate and became one of the best jobs at the bottom of the box.

As a power forward, the average three-point shooting rate of 34.3% per game is quite terrifying, and when Banyani, who has a three-point shooting rate of more than 37%, comes on the court, the Raptors' interior players' attack range will be terrifying, and the court space will be extremely wide.

"How am I supposed to defend him in a moment?"

Looking at Bosh's activity on the court, Chen Mu fell into deep thought.

The 76ers attacked, Iverson went inside and caused Nesterovic to foul and hit both free throws.

The Raptors advanced steadily, and the basketball was once again handed to Bosh, and this time Webb was very dead and did not give Bosh a chance to shoot.

However, the new generation of power forwards did not mess up, tentatively stepped to make space, pinned Webb's legs with a feint, and then broke sideways and won a foul.

When Bosh walked to the free throw line, Cheeks on the sidelines couldn't sit still, reached out and patted Chen Mu's shoulder and said, "Rotate early!" Chen, go and replace Chris. ”

"Yes!"

Finally waiting for the moment of shame, Chen Mu stood up, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he was ready to give the NBA a big gift ...... the new season! (To be continued.) )
