The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 33
In the second quarter, both sides played the second team first. The Cavaliers played Ryan Hollins, JJ Hickson, Jamalio Moon, Alonzo Key and Daniel Gibson. The second team is Ed Davis, Amir Johnson, James Johnson, Jerry Bayless and Jose Calderon.

The Cavaliers' lineup focuses on the combination of inside and outside, with Hickson on the inside and Gibson on the outside. Unlike the Cavaliers, the Raptors' bench players are much fiercer. Except for James Johnson, the other four Players have the ability to play the main force. Bayless averaged double figures per game last season and has a good three-point shooting ability. In addition, Calderon, the main point guard of the Spanish national team, is the second player of the Raptors. The strength of the lineup is obviously much stronger than that of the Cavaliers.

Ed Davis of the Raptors is actually the main power forward. Although he is only 2.08 meters tall, when facing Hollins who is 2.13 meters tall, he does not suffer at all under the basket. He is relatively tall, and was succeeded by Davis in a row.

The Raptors took the lead in the second quarter and took a 10-point lead when Bayless hit his second [-]-pointer of the quarter.

Scott called a timeout immediately.

27-37, the Raptors played nearly half of the time in the second half and scored a 17-5!

Scott frowned. The Cavaliers' bench lineup is indeed a drawback of the current team.

After James left, many powerful substitute players and veterans left the team one after another. Players like Hollins, Moon and Key rarely even entered the rotation lineup last season, let alone those new players who stayed on the team. players.

It's really a headache. Scott looked at the Raptors' second team and was really envious. Although Bosh is gone, the impact on the team is far less than that of James, and it hasn't really had a catastrophic impact on the Raptors. .

"The Cavaliers are about to make substitutions. Judging from this game, the depth of the team's lineup is very worrying. If their bench players this season don't stand up, I'm afraid they will enjoy the holiday very early." Smith commented road.

"Yes, from this list, the Cavaliers' lineup this season is really terrible. To be honest, no one on this list can be rated as an All-Star in my heart."

"Sure enough, the substitutions were made, and the two teams returned to the first team."

Back on the court, the Cavaliers players tried to recover the disadvantage immediately. Even Varejao took the initiative to attack at the basket. Unfortunately, his shot was missed by Bargnani's interference, and Reggie Evans firmly occupied the basket. Under the vantage point, get the rebound.

DeRozan's breakthrough jumper hit the iron. Evans grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it back to DeRozan. This time DeRozan seized the opportunity and finally hit his first sports game of the game goal.

"The rebounding protection of the Cavaliers is a bit poor." Smith took the lead in commenting on the rebounding situation on the court.

Parker missed a three-pointer and the ball bounced very high. Varejao raised his head to look at the ball and was about to jump when suddenly his chest was held up by a strong body. Appeared, pocketing the defensive rebound.

Varejao rubbed his chest, muttered and ran back.

Barbosa's breakthrough speed was very fast, relying on Bargnani's pick-and-roll, a change of direction dribbled away Williams, and went straight to the basket!

Varejao and Jamison immediately blocked the middle of the basket and defended Barbosa's breakthrough route. Facing the two insiders of the Cavaliers, Barbosa threw a high throw. Although the ball missed, the forward The first rebound was grabbed by Evans again amidst the amazement and cheers of the audience!

When Evans grabbed the rebound, Jamison, who was close to Evans, was even hit by the inertia after Evans grabbed the rebound, and fell heavily to the ground!
Varejao immediately opened his hands and rushed to Evans. Evans did not attack under the basket, but passed the ball to the outside again.

Bargnani got an easy shot. After receiving the pass from Evans, Bargnani made some adjustments, and then threw the ball calmly. The three-pointer passed through the net! 42-27, the Raptors have led the Cavaliers by 15 points!

"The Cavaliers are not good. The gap in rebounding is too obvious. In the Cavaliers' current lineup, no one's rebounding is the opponent of Reggie Evans." Barkley even praised Evans' rebounding He said, "Reggie and Dennis are the few rebounders I have ever seen. Dennis can become the rebounding leader because he has a sense of rebounding. This is a talent, but Reggie can grab 4 in a row like just now. A rebound, this is completely the result of hard training, because apart from rebounds, Reggie is not very good at other things, so knowing that to be able to stand on the court of the NBA, you must have at least one skill, and this will also create A rebounding monster like Reggie who can put up 0 points and 20 rebounds."

"Yes, Reggie has dominated both offensive and defensive rebounds!" Smith also agreed.

With a livid face, Scott called a timeout again!
"Rebound! Rebound! Rebound!" Scott shouted loudly when the players gathered around him.

Everyone knows that the current direction of the game on the court has been completely controlled by Reggie Evans' rebounding.

Back on the court, Varejao took the lead to set an example. After Williams missed a shot, Varejao got rid of Bargnani's entanglement and rushed to the offensive rebound desperately!
With a muffled sound of "dong", Yuan Man's eyes also became surprised.

Reggie Evans had the rebound in his hand, and Varejao sat on the ground, his hand to his forehead.

"Drip~~Drip~~" The referee's whistle sounded, and Evans was sentenced to a foul for grabbing a rebound!

Yuan Man stepped forward, only to see Varejao let go of his hand, a big gash was hit on the left forehead, blood flowed to the left cheek, and Varejao didn't even dare to open his left eye.Yuan Man turned his head and saw that the blood of Varejao's forehead was printed on Evans' left elbow with a contemptuous smile.

I have to say that Reggie's rebounding skills are really amazing, and Yuan Man is also very convinced, but in the rebound just now, Yuan Man clearly saw that Varejao touched the basketball first, and then was elbowed by Evans In the face, and then lost this offensive rebound.

Evans took this rebound absolutely disgraceful!

The referee signaled Varejao and Evans, who had blood on their bodies, to clean up the blood.

"Anderson, I'll help you go." Yuan Man stepped forward and pulled Varejao up from the ground.

"Yuan, how is my hairstyle?" Varejao asked Yuan Man worriedly while covering his bleeding wound with one hand.

Yuan Man kicked Varejao to the sidelines, turned around and returned to the court.

The Cavaliers attacked, and Jamison’s mid-range shot missed again, but while Evans was dealing with the wound off the court, Yuan Man took a step ahead of Amir Johnson, took the rebound, and then dunked into the basket with one hand !

The Cavaliers finally grabbed an offensive rebound and scored in open play!
