Chapter 358
"In my opinion, your offensive ability is greatly underestimated. Rick discussed you with me last year. He thinks your offensive potential is huge and has not been tapped. You also know the situation of the Mavericks. There is no such time , and there is no such capital for you to train. For the championship, everyone has to sacrifice, you should understand this." Casey looked at Ying Xiong, with an unusually gentle tone.

"I understand. I'm very glad that Coach Rick and you have shown great love to me. I will definitely work hard to surprise those who look down on me!" Ying Xiong's tone was full of firmness.

"Let's join hands together and let the league see our strength!" Coach Casey's eyes shone with gold, and his whole person exuded an unprecedented vigor and drive, which was a bit different from his usual calm appearance.

The right hands of the two were tightly held together, and each of them saw the strong fighting spirit in each other's eyes...

For Coach Casey, this is his second time coaching a team as head coach in the NBA.The last time he coached as a head coach dates back to the 2-2005 season, when he coached the Minnesota Timberwolves for one and a half years.For him, becoming the head coach again means a lot.He took over a team that ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference last season.It will be a major problem for him if the team undergoes a qualitative change.The joining of Yingxiong gave him greater confidence in this team.

——In the entire NBA, there are not many people who know Ying Xiong better than Coach Casey, and know his true strength better!

Casey and Ying Xiong are actually the same kind of people, they are both the kind of people who have an extremely fanatical mentality for victory. The cooperation between the two will surely set off a storm in the league.

Ying Xiong is a person who likes to think. Before he joined the Raptors, he got to know the players in the team.After joining, he carefully studied the composition of the team, the characteristics and abilities of the players.In his opinion, this team is not as bad as the outside rumors. If the advantages of each player can be maximized, it will still be very effective.

The team's main center Bargnani was the No. 06 pick in 21.4. This center from Italy averaged 7 points per game last season and was the team's top scorer.The template for the No. 213 center with a height of 3 feet (213cm) is "German Chariot" Nowitzki.On the offensive end, he can go inside and outside. As a big man, he has a shooting range beyond the 6-point line and has a certain ability to break through with the ball; The degree is not enough, the effect is not ideal.His biggest weakness lies in rebounding. With a height of 10cm, he averaged less than [-] rebounds per game, which is somewhat unreasonable.As the No. [-] pick, he has averaged more than [-] points per game since his first season in the league. He cannot be regarded as a "parallel import", but compared with the team's high expectations, there is still a big gap.

The overall success rate of rookies in 2006 is not high. Among the top 10 rookies, apart from Aldridge and Roy, none of the other rookies can stabilize Bargnani.But as the No. [-] pick, the team's expectations are naturally very high, and Bargnani still has a long way to go.

DeRozan, the team's main shooting guard last season, was the No. 09 pick in the first round of 9. Last season, he averaged 17.2 points per game, a significant improvement from the 8.6 points he scored in his rookie season. He is the team's No. 2 scorer.DeRozan is a swingman with explosive physical fitness and participated in the 2010 All-Star Slam Dunk Contest.His offense is relatively old-fashioned, mainly based on face-up breakthroughs and mid-range jumpers. He has a certain ability to draw fouls. Not only does his 3-pointer hit rate be low, but he also takes very small shots, sometimes not even a single shot in the entire game.With the general trend of the entire league paying more and more attention to 3-pointers, his type of shooting guard is easily reminiscent of the type of Jordan and "Penny" Hardaway in the 90s and early 3s. The offensive style of the swingman.He still has great potential on the offensive end. Not to mention the undeveloped [-]-pointer, there is still room for improvement in the ability to finish or draw fouls after cutting and the accuracy of turnaround jump shots.On the defensive end, although his physical fitness is outstanding, his body is slightly thin and his wingspan is not outstanding. He is easily overwhelmed by a strong small forward or shooting guard.

Last season's main point guard Jose Calderon, as a member of the Spanish national team, is a typical European guard with accurate outside shooting and high basketball IQ.He plays fairly well and rarely makes mistakes. He doesn't have the scoring explosiveness and strong attacking ability of American defenders, but his wins are stable, which is very important for a young team.

Amir Johnson, the main power forward last season, is a well-regulated blue-collar insider with no major shortcomings or advantages. He is a down-to-earth role player.This type of player plays low-key and has a limited ceiling, but he is the kind of player that every team cannot do without.

James Johnson, who switched from the Bulls last season, is the team's main small forward in the second half of the season.He is a heavy-duty small forward with a strong body and comprehensive skills. The disadvantage is that his 3-point shooting is very unstable and his shooting percentage is low.When he and DeRozan are on the court together, it affects the team's offensive space.Opponents would take advantage of their poor shooting, shrink the basket, and create a crowded interior.

In terms of substitutes, "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa is a stable scoring point off the bench. Former Nuggets player Kleiza has good scoring ability and sufficient offensive firepower.In addition, Ed Davis, the No. 09 rookie in 13, is full of impact, and veterans Magloire and Bayless also have good strength.

Including myself, there are a total of 6 people in the team who have double-digit scoring ability per game, and 4 of them are in the starting lineup.Ying Xiong believes that the Raptors will definitely make great progress next season, and the second-to-last record in the Eastern Conference last season will become history.His confidence is not without reason. Putting aside his confidence in his own strength, as a young team, the growth potential is something that mature teams do not have.No one can predict to what extent young players can grow, and this kind of uncertainty is really an essential element for dark polo teams.

Ying Xiong has a say in Coach Casey's coaching ability.Everyone won the championship when the Mavericks were not favored. Coach Casey's contribution must not be underestimated.Even Mavericks coach Carlisle admired him and felt extremely sorry for his departure.

Therefore, Ying Xiong believes that under the guidance of Coach Casey, this young Raptors team will make little progress and move towards a strong team in the East step by step.He believes that he will also prove to the world: whoever said that I am just a 3D player, who said that I am just a tasteless player who is not good at anything on the court, I will subvert your perception of me in the new season!
