Chapter 679 The Power of Team Basketball

As the referee tossed the ball into the air, the game officially began.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over and organized an attack at the top of the arc.

The Eagles will naturally not let the white shooter Kyle Korver defend Yingxiong, even though the two of them are very good friends, they often train together during the offseason, and they are very familiar with each other.

"Mark, Atlanta didn't let Kyle go on defense!" Mav Albert said.

"Well, Kyle defended very hard, but the gap between physical fitness and response is too big, and it would be too difficult for him to defend." Mark Jackson explained.

The one defending Yingxiong was Carroll, nicknamed "Shennongjia James" by Chinese fans.

Carol has dirty braids, a strong black face, and a simple face. He is a typical blue-collar 3D player.He's the wing arrow the Eagles use against most teams in the league.

Ying Xiong cuts out to receive the ball from the right wing, and Jeremy Lin allows the pass to him.

After Ying Xiong received the ball, the cheers on the scene were much higher than before. In the stands, many fans shouted "MVP" together, expressing their admiration for the superstar of the home team.

The Eagles' team defense is very good. They let Carroll defend alone on the outside and partially attack Xiong. Once Yingxiong enters a deep position inside, they will choose to shrink, and then consciously empty DeRozan and Amir Johnson.

Ying Xiong scored with the ball, Amir Johnson caught the ball near the free throw line, and made an open shot - missed!
Horford accepted the rebound and handed it to Teague to advance.

The coach of the Eagles, Budenholzer, is the coach of the "Spurs Department".

The Eagles do not have any top ten superstars in the league, nor do they have super scorers who score 30 points at every turn, so if they want to achieve good results in this highly competitive league, playing team basketball is almost the only way. way out.

The Eagles' offensive players don't stick to the ball, they move the ball, and the players on the court, whether they are outside or inside, are always on the move.Running without the ball, covering without the ball, passing and cutting, transferring the ball... The Eagles in the new season are more team-based and selfless than the Spurs. a feeling of.

"Atalanta's transfer of the ball is really smooth!" Mafu Albert couldn't help but praise.

"Mike and Greg learned the essence of San Antonio basketball, transplanted this system to Atlanta, and the effect looks good." Mark Jackson also agreed.

Neither Amir Johnson nor Valanciunas are the kind of quick-moving insiders. They were disgraced by Horford and Millsap's non-stop movement and blocking, and the leakage was very serious, allowing the opponent to play an efficient team offense.Compared with the Eagles playing like a fish in water on the offensive end, the Raptors did not grasp the opportunities from the outside line when the opponent intentionally shrunk to protect the penalty area and limit their breakthrough. They were pulled away by the opponent in the first half of the first quarter. Close to double digits.

Ying Xiong didn't feel good at the beginning of the game. He made three shots from the outside and failed to hit.

"Mark, it seems that you guessed it right. Toronto's outside shooting is inexplicably sluggish!" Mafu Albert said with some surprise.

"This is on the one hand. On the other hand, Atlanta's defensive rotation is in place. They are shrinking the inside and trying to limit Toronto's breakthroughs, but you find that there are no gaps. DeMar and Amir are often open." Mark Jackson said.

"That's true!" Albert the groom suddenly realized.

The Raptors coach Casey on the sidelines requested a timeout!In fact, if this was a playoff game, he might have called a timeout long ago. The reason why he tolerated it until this time was called a timeout, because he wanted to teach this team of kings who have won two consecutive championships some lessons.In the NBA, there are no underdogs, and there are no truly bad teams.Sometimes individual teams have poor records and weak combat effectiveness, but this is not entirely the case.In many cases, this is because the team wants to play badly to get a high draft pick.

During the timeout, Casey did not talk to the players about any tactics, but shouted at the five starting players: "Wake me up, stop thinking about the ring, cheer me up! No! Eat or sleep at night? Be tough on defense! Don't be soft like an old lady!"

Back from the timeout, the Raptors did not make any substitutions, and the game continued.

"Mark, do you think it's strange that Devin didn't change?" groom Albert said a little puzzled.

"It's not surprising that substitutions at this time will have an impact on the self-esteem of the replaced players. As the champion coach, Devin will not make such a low-level mistake!" Mark Jackson said.

After the Raptors came back, Ying Xiong received a pass from Jeremy Lin, directly crossed past Carroll, and scored 2+1 against Horford at the basket!

The Air Canada Center arena suddenly burst into cheers.The start of the home team was firmly suppressed by the opponents who swept the playoffs last season. This made the Raptors fans feel very uncomfortable. They were extremely depressed, and their anxious mood was written on their faces.

"Yeees! Good shot!" groom Albert exclaimed.

"Ying is still so unstoppable, even if Atlanta shrinks its defense and protects the penalty area, it still can't stop him." Mark Jackson praised.

Ying Xiong played the ball very relieved, and gave Jeremy Lin a high-five.He didn't feel good before, and he was a little depressed. The Eagles' defense is very good. On the surface, Carroll is defending him alone. In fact, other players will come to interfere with him, making him very uncomfortable when attacking. Comfortable.

Ying Xiong made an additional penalty and narrowed the point difference to only 6 points.

But the Raptors' strength on the defensive end is high, but the opponent's transfer of the ball is really good, like an eel, greasy all over, reaching out to grab it, just don't know where to start.

Here, Horford pulled beyond the 3-point line, received a second pass from Jeff Teague, bullied Valanciunas's shortcomings of slow movement, and made a steady shot before the opponent's defense came out-accurate hit!
The point difference returned to 9 points again!
"Al's outside shooting has been improving in recent years!" Mav Albert said.

"Al has always been very comprehensive on the offensive end. It doesn't matter if his shooting posture is not beautiful, as long as he is accurate!" Mark Jackson said with a smile.

The momentum of the Raptors just started was suppressed by Horford's 3 points.This 3-pointer was like a basin of cold water, pouring cold water on the home team.

On the Raptors side, DeRozan forced Korver, causing a defensive foul on the opponent.

Substitution adjustments appeared on the sidelines, Lowry replaced Jeremy Lin, and Patterson replaced Amir Johnson.
