Chapter 687 Meeting of Two MVPs

In the second quarter, Yingxiong waited for the main force to come back, and the Wizards began to pinch him, forcing him to take the ball, allowing other Raptors players to attack.

But the rotation of the Wizards can't be compared with a team like the Spurs.The main players of the Raptors, after several seasons of tempering, are no longer completely dependent on Ying Xiong as they were back then.With the continuous offensive success of DeRozan, Jeremy Lin and others, the Wizards were stopped again.

"Mark, Washington began to attack, but the effect was not good. Instead, the Toronto team blossomed." Kevin Harlan said.

"It's normal. Washington's rotation speed can't keep up with Toronto's passing speed, which will inevitably lead to this result. Washington's defense still has problems. The rotation of the inside defense is too slow, and the outside line lacks gate-like characters. A team with outside superstars will be very passive." Mark Jackson said.

The strengths and weaknesses of Wall, the core of the Wizards, are too obvious, because it is indeed a threat from the middle and long distances, and the Raptors restrict him to death.It can give you a chance to shoot long distances, but if you want to easily break through and switch to push and counterattack, you must resolutely limit the speed and not let you start easily.

Wall couldn't stand up, relying on Nene and Gortat's one-on-one offense, he couldn't compete with the Raptors' powerful offensive.

At the end of halftime, the Raptors had widened the point difference to nearly 20 points.

In the second half of the game, the Wizards still failed to catch up with the score.They couldn't match the opponent's firepower on both ends of the offense and defense, so the point difference was widened.

The game officially entered garbage time in the final quarter.

In the end, the Raptors beat the Wizards at home and ushered in a 6-game winning streak.

Ying Xiong played only 29 minutes and easily scored a triple-double of 32+10+11.This is his first triple-double this season, and he is currently in a pretty good state. The hard training in the summer has allowed him to continue to maintain a high level.

On November 11, the Raptors continued to play at home against the underdog Philadelphia 10ers. The 76ers ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference last season, and they are a team that aims to rebuild.This season is no exception, and it looks like it is still in the process of rebuilding.

There is no suspense about the result of the game. The defending champion Raptors at home easily defeated the opponent and ushered in a 7-game winning streak.

On November 11, the Raptors continued to play at home and ushered in a challenge from the Orlando Magic.The Magic and the 12ers are the same, and they are also a team aiming to rebuild. The playoffs are far away, but the distance from the No. 76 pick is closer.

The result of the game is still not much suspense, the Raptors once again won at home, increasing the winning streak to 8 games.At present, with a record of 8 wins and 0 losses, they are at the top of the league's record rankings, and their momentum in the new season cannot be underestimated.

On November 11, the Raptors continued to sit at home and ushered in the challenge of the Chicago Bulls.

In the Bulls team, Derrick Rose, the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history, returned this season, which made Bulls fans excited.Rose can also be regarded as a tragic figure in the NBA. He won the youngest regular season MVP in NBA history that year, and was injured consecutively. He missed the entire 2012-2013 season. The right knee meniscus was torn and was reimbursed for the season.

Ying Xiong and Rose also have a bit of a relationship. The two entered the NBA in the same year. Rose was the No. 8 pick, while Ying Xiong was the [-]th pick in the first round.

Ying Xiong still admires Rose very much, appreciates his love for basketball, appreciates his aggressiveness and bravery on the court.He also felt sorry for the other party. If there were not so many injuries, he would have another formidable opponent. This is also a very exciting thing.

The game was explained by Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy.

"Jeff, this is the first time I've played with you this season!" Mike Breen said with a smile.

"Yes, Mike, it is indeed the first time. Hahaha..." Jeff Van Gundy also laughed.

"I met Derrick Rose in the first commentary, and I was lucky!" Mike Breen said.

"Chicago games rarely have high scores!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: Center - Yonas Valanciunas, Power Forward - Amir Johnson, Small Forward - DeMar DeRozan, Shooting Guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The starting lineup of the Bulls for the away game is: center-Jojin Noah, power forward-Pau Gasol, small forward-Mike Dunleavy, shooting guard-Jimmy Butler, point guard-Derrick Rose.

Valanciunas and Noah prepare a jump ball near the middle circle and the game is about to begin.

Noah's jump ball wins over Valanciunas, and Rose dribbles across half court.

Speaking of the Bulls team, they are very dependent on Rose on the offensive end.Coach Tom Thibodeau is a good player in training defense, but he is not so effective in training the team's offense.This team often relies on defense to win, and there are few offensive points and routines.After Rose was reimbursed for the season, Noah became the main organizer of the team in many cases.

This summer, the Bulls supplemented the champion's insider sister-in-law, which is naturally an excellent supplement for them who are constipated offensively.With Da Dajie, Noah can focus more on the defensive end, instead of rushing the duck to the shelf and letting him organize the offense.

Rose came over with the ball and gave it to the high-ranking sister-in-law.

Our sister-in-law organized the offense at a high position and assigned it to the little Dunleavy in the left corner.

Dunleavy Jr. was the most 3-point threat in the Bulls' starting lineup. As soon as he received the ball, DeRozan pounced on it like a hungry tiger.

Dunley kept the ball to break through and gave it to everyone's wife, who made a mid-range shot-hit!
"Mike played the ball very smartly and didn't insist on shooting 3-pointers!" Mike Breen said.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Jeff Van Gundy laughed.

"That's right, he and I are both called 'Mike', hahaha..." Mike Brin laughed.

Ying Xiong said to DeRozan when he returned to defense: "Demar, don't rush too hard, be careful of fouls!"

DeRozan nodded. Naturally, he couldn't disagree with the reminder from the team boss.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and organized an offense at the top of the arc.

The one defending Yingxiong is naturally not the white shooter Dunleavy Jr., but the 30th pick in the first round-Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler is definitely the non-lottery pick that the Bulls played with the bad luck of MVP Rose being injured by injuries.In the NBA, the 30th pick in the first round is actually not much different from the top-ranked rookies in the second round.Basically, a rookie with such a pick, not to mention growing into an All-Star, even if he can grow into a qualified team rotation, is already profitable.

Jimmy Butler, on the other hand, seems to have All-Star potential.
