The toronto raptors had found the core of their team in recent years, which was the duo of demar derozan and kyle lowry.
They were able to enter the Eastern Conference playoffs every year and had a good record in the regular season. It was all thanks to the two-gun combination's offense and the team's fierce defense.
DeRozan had an average of 20.1 points, 4.5 rebounding, and 3.7 assists per game this season. Kyle Lowry had 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounding, and 6.8 assists per game. The two of them led the toronto raptors to second place in the eastern conference, just behind the clevlan knights.
Although the Raptors 'backcourt duo didn't play well in the playoffs and were even nicknamed the trash brothers by the fans, they were a very dominant combination in the regular season.
"It's destined that the Hornets 'backcourt duo will face their challenge as soon as they are formed. Let's listen to the pre-match interview of the Raptors' duo.”
Such a dramatic story seemed to have been scripted.
The camera turned, and Demar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry appeared in front of Espn's reporters.
"It would be an exaggeration to say that I've never heard of Jiang Shou's name, but I really didn't pay attention to him.”
Demar DeRozan didn't seem to like talking, and Kyle Lowry became a chatterbox in the camera.
"I admit that he was crazy in the first three games of the league. He hit 27 three-pointers, but everyone has a time to eat dumplings.”
When Lori talked about Jiang Shou, he didn't take him seriously at all.
He even treated the three-pointers that Jiang Shou made as dumplings that had eaten luck.
"Let me put it this way. Michael Jordan made a mistake. You can't measure a player's value with three games.”Lori laughed.
"Are you saying that you don't recognize Jiang Shou's strength at all?”The reporter asked again.
"That's right. Not only do I not recognize the strength of Jiang Shou, I don't even recognize the Hornets 'two-gun combination. The Hornets only have one gun. He's the worst NBA player I've ever seen. Both Demar and I are afraid of breaking him!”Lori said with a smile.
"There's only one two-man team in the east, and that's us.”
DeRozan also revealed a rare smile and said something in front of the camera.
The Raptors 'players were full of confidence.
Ding-dong…The system has detected that the host is being looked down upon by the duo of the Raptors. Unable to take it anymore, the host has been given a mission at the last minute. Win this match and prove to them that the Hornets have two guns in their backfield. If successful, the Reputation Points obtained in this match will be doubled!
Jiang Shou was warming up when the system notification sounded.
"Then I have to correct you. I'm not a gun for the Hornets. I'm a cannon for the Hornets!”Jiang Yang laughed.
Jiang Shou compared himself to a cannon. On the one hand, he said that his three-pointers were as accurate as cannonballs.
On the other hand, it meant that his physical fitness was as tough as a cannon and not as simple as a gun.
Jiang Shou communicated with the system for a while, and then he stood on the stage.
The starting players of both teams were introduced, and the game was about to start.
The head coach, Dwayne Casey, had a serious look on his face before the game as he briefed the Raptors players.
The starting lineup of this future coach, who would lead the Raptors to 59 wins and 23 losses, winning the Eastern Conference with a 72% win rate, and winning the league's best coach award, was:
Kyle Lorie, Demar DeRozan, Terrence Ross, Amir John, and Valanchunas.
After all the necessary explanations were given, the starting players of the Raptors all stood on the field.
On the Hornets 'side, Coach Clipford did not explain too much. After telling the newcomers not to be nervous, he came up with a new lineup.
Kemba Walker Jiang Shou Cardwell Pop Biyombo Cody Zeller.
For the sake of being conservative, Manager Clipford did not bring in a large number of new players.
Jiang Shou's hands were itching.
Although this was not his first time playing in the NBA, he was excited to become an official guarantee player for a team.
Jump ball. Valanciunas won the jump ball duel in front of Cody Zeller with his height advantage.
The match officially began.
The Raptors 'offense.
Kyle Lowry slowly dribbled the ball across the half and then began their positional attack.
The team's first attack, everyone's eyes fell on Demar DeRozan.
At this moment, DeRozan was expressionlessly facing the basket from a high position, leaning against Jiang Shou and asking Lori for the ball.
DeRozan had contributed an average of 20 points per game this season, and almost half of his points came from the traditional back-to-back offense that was rarely seen in the league.
Back-up techniques and mid-range shots were all his forte.
"Bang!"
After getting the basketball, DeRozan leaned his broad shoulders against Jiang Shou. Then, he quickly turned around and looked up.
He didn't want to show off his skills when he was playing Jiang Shou.
Because he had the impression that Jiang Shou was a shooter with poor physical fitness, he could solve the problem in a simple way.
"Boom!"
However, just as he confidently sent the basketball into the air, he suddenly saw a figure rapidly expanding in his eyes!
It was Jiang Shou. He rose from the ground and quickly covered his vision.
"Bang!"
The huge palm slapped DeRozan's shot down.
"What…What a high jump!"
DeRozan's expression was dull after being hit, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Isn't he physically weak?？？？”
