NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 10

With the postponement of time, the NBA preseason schedule has been released.

In the first game of the new season, the Bobcats will challenge the Raptors, who are also struggling in the East, in an away game.

The Raptors as a whole are very poor. The reason why they can get the attention of the league is because there is a person in the team, half-human, half-god "Carter"! !

The Raptors are still Carter's team this season, but his fragile knees and ankles are his Achilles heel.

Moreover, the transfer turmoil during the offseason will definitely affect Carter's performance.

If Carter can stay healthy, the team can survive in this division.

However, as Bosh matures, he has won the trust of the team and Carter.

Marshall and Rose have also adapted to the team's offensive and defensive system, and the Raptors have two more stable attack points.

The team's rookie center, Rafael Arauyo, is expected to be entrusted with important tasks. Although he is immature, he is full of momentum, which may be a surprise for the team.

Even in the new season, the free agent streetball king "Alston" was signed.

However, compared with the opponents in the same division, the strength of the Raptors has not changed much this year, so it is difficult to do much in the Atlantic Division.

"Everyone get started. After all, I treated everyone to hot pot yesterday. Why are everyone so downcast!!" On the plane to Toronto, Liu Rui cheered for the players.

At the mention of hot pot, many players on the plane turned black, even Bickerstaff had black lines.

If eyes could kill, Liu Rui must have been torn apart by now.

Looking down at his hands that had been scalded several times, Wallace cried and said, "Coach, my hands hurt so much..."

"…………"

"Cough cough cough, this..., the charm of my Chinese food, how can you understand it once or twice?!"

"If everyone can bring the team a good start in the preseason in this game, I will treat everyone to hot pot later!!"

"Shut up!! We won't eat!!"

"Yes!! If I was eating hot pot, I would definitely throw that damn basketball into my own basket!!"

When they heard that Liu Rui was going to take them to eat that damn hot pot, not to mention the players, even Bickerstaff was not calm, as soon as he wanted to unbuckle his seat belt at any time, stand up and look for Liu Rui desperately.

"It's said that the orientals use those two sticks that they want to break when they eat??" Piccolo felt terrified of China for the first time. This is simply a bunch of devils...

"Haha, don't get excited, don't get excited, Piccolo, put down the stick in your hand first..."

"Hey! Blazek, what are you doing when you stand up, sit down!!" Liu Rui looked at the people in front of him with a guilty conscience.

"Ahem, I'm actually trying to relieve everyone's stress. You don't need to be too nervous. This is just a preseason game. It's good to win, but it's no big deal even if you lose."

"Don't forget our purpose. The game is based on running-in tactics. I hope everyone can find their own position in the game."

"What's more, the strength of the Raptors is not very strong. I think it is not difficult to kill a dragon while adapting the tactics. At least I am very confident."

"So don't think too much, before the plane lands, close your eyes and take a good rest, although it seems useless."

"Hahahaha!!" Seeing Liu Rui with a relaxed expression on his face, everyone seemed to relax.

Obviously it seems that we are the new team, but he said it like the Raptors are the new team, and he intends to teach them a lesson.

-------

Welcome everyone to watch the Raptors vs. Bobcats game at home in the new NBA preseason game. I am CCTV commentator "Sun Zhengping", and the person sitting next to me is "Zhang Weiping" Director Zhang.

"Before the game has started, let's make a long story short and analyze the game. As we all know, the Bobcats are a new team just established this year. The team owner Robert Johnson was a blues guitarist and composer before that. He has no experience in running any sports sector."

"And after taking over the Bobcats, it is said that there is a long gap in the head coaching position."

"But not long ago, the Bobcats announced that the team has reached a coaching agreement with the new head coach, but the specific contract and details have not been announced."

"As the first preseason game of this season is about to start, we don't even know who the team's new head coach is, let alone what the Bobcats will look like in their first season in the NBA this season. So, for this brand new team, what do you think of this game, Director Zhang?"

"Okay, first of all, let's talk about the operation of the Bobcats during the offseason. The operation of the team's general manager Smith is really reasonable!"

"This team not only has a potential rookie like Okafor, but also some high-quality shooters like Kapono, masters of field control like Knight, and a veteran Steve Smith as the leader of the team's locker room. He worked very patiently from the end, which is really reasonable."

"And the head coach of this team, I think it is very likely that Bernie Bickerstaff will be the head coach of the team in the new season."

"Most of the Bobcats are young people. He must play "aggressive" in the new season, which is what we often say, and he must play aggressively."

"As a new season, a new team, so I think today's game should be very good." Zhang Li commented on the game froth.

…………

"Okay, I've said almost everything I need to say. Get ready to play, lads. Remember that this is just a massacre, a dragon slaying conference that belongs to us, especially you Robinson. Remember the tasks I have arranged for you. Don't let me down." Liu Rui put down the tactical board with a smile, and a burst of confidence came from within.

A large part of the reason why Liu Rui is so confident is because the head coach of the Raptors this year is "Sam Mitchell".

Because this game was not only Liu Rui's team debut, but also Mitchell's team debut, even though it was just a preseason game.

In the previous life, Sam Mitchell became the head coach of the Raptors in 2004. Leaving aside the incredible tactical arrangement, the relationship with the players was even more messy.

As the head coach for the first time, in order to accumulate enough majesty for himself, after showing up in the arena for the first time, Carter took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand to express friendship.

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't even look at Carter, who is the head of the team, and only left a sarcasm, "It's training time, put away your hypocrisy."

Even Carter, who has always been a good man, was so angry that he jumped.

And because of the team's poor record last season, the team missed the playoffs. During the offseason, Carter hoped that the team could strengthen the lineup.

However, during the offseason of 04, the lineup did not undergo major improvements, which also made Carter reluctant to leave, publicly expressing to the media that he wanted to leave, which also angered the management.

Because the conflict between the Raptors and Carter has already reached an irreconcilable level.

The management also sided with Mitchell more, which also caused the legendary star to be completely disheartened.

In the end, he left for New Jersey. Although the source of all this was not Mitchell, and he was just the last straw to crush the flying man, Liu Rui never paid attention to such an IQ opponent.

It's also a debut show. In comparison, the team cohesion of the two teams is not at the same level at all.

Carter, who was determined to leave, could even leak tactics to his opponents in his previous life, which shows how bad the atmosphere in the Raptors team is...
