Chapter 808 Season Opener

Later, Pippen satirized Ying Xiong again with other words. Many NBA stars and well-known basketball experts who supported Ying Xiong satirized him. The most classic sentence was: "Scotty, you have 6 championships, but you don't have a single FMVP trophy. !"

So far, Pippen is no longer chattering, and this topic has gradually cooled down.

In the preseason games, Ying Xiong didn't play very much. It's not that he didn't want to play, but the team didn't let him play for a long time. In seven preseason games, he played less than an hour in total.

No one dares to say that Ying Xiong is playing big cards. In fact, he is the biggest card in the league. No need to show off, he is the "Joker" in poker!
The Raptors' season opener will kick off on October 10, but before that, Ying Xiong received bad news.

On October 10, Yi Jianlian, Ying Xiong's teammate in the national team, took the initiative to terminate his contract with the Lakers.

In the 8 NBA preseason games against the Lakers, Ah Lian's playing time was very limited. Even if he got the chance to play, it was difficult to get the support of his teammates on the court, which basically made it impossible for him to play the characteristics of long-range shooting.In the six games he has played, he has averaged 6 points and 10.7 rebounds in 3 minutes per game while shooting 2.5 percent from three (6 of 1) and 16.7 percent from the field (20 of 7). .

Ying Xiong understands the UAE's decision very well. Instead of sitting on the bench in the NBA, or even being waived in the middle of the season, it is better to leave here. It is the best ending for himself and the team.

On October 10, the Raptors' season opener kicked off.Their opponent in this game is the Detroit Pistons.

The Pistons made the playoffs last season in eighth place, but were swept 8-0 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.This team is very young. Although there are no superstars in the team, there are many young talents. It is a force that cannot be ignored in the East.

Before the start of the game, the awarding ceremony of the championship ring was held at the Air Canada Center Arena.The championship banner symbolizing the 2015-2016 season was raised over the arena. This is already the fourth championship banner in this arena.

The fans all started screaming, cheering and witnessing the solemn moment together.Five years ago, who would have thought that there could be so many flags above this arena.

The players and coaches of the Raptors won the precious championship rings. This scene made everyone on the scene excited, even though it was not the first time they had experienced it.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Yonas Valanciunas, power forward - Patrick Patterson, small forward - DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard - - Ying Xiong, point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The starting lineup of the Pistons in the away game is: Andre Drummond, power forward - Marcus Morris, small forward - Tobias Harris, shooting guard - Kentavy Oscar Swell Pope, point guard -- Ismail Smith.

The commentators for this game are groom Albert and Chris Webber.

"Hello, Chris, it's a pleasure to explain Toronto's season opener with you!" Mav Albert said.

"Hello, groom, I'm so envious of the championship ring awarding ceremony just now! Hahaha..." Chris Webber laughed.

"This is really enviable. It is really not an easy task to get a championship ring! There are 30 teams in the entire league, and only one team can get this!" Mav Albert said.

Near the middle circle Valanciunas and Drummond are preparing to jump the ball and the game is about to start.

"It's a pity that Toronto and Detroit didn't meet in the playoffs last season!" Marv Albert said.

"What a pity? To whom? Toronto or Detroit?" Chris Webber asked back.

"Of course it's Detroit! Facing the championship team, even if the final result is swept, you can learn a lot!" Mafu Albert explained.

"You mean, you can't learn anything from playing against LeBron?" Chris Webber smiled playfully.

"That's not what I mean, I mean it's a good experience to play against a championship team!" Mav Albert hurriedly explained.

While the two were talking, the game officially started.

Drummond's jump ball won over Valanciunas, and Ish Smith dribbled the ball across half court.

Drummond received a pass from Ismail Smith after the pick-and-roll, forced to attack the frame, and was defended by Valanciunas and Patterson who came to help defend.

Ying Xiong received the ball and pushed forward by himself. There was no chance to counterattack, and Jeremy Lin was assigned to sink down and play the position.

"Andre's offensive methods are still too few. The ball just now had a good chance of throwing!" Chris Webber said.

"Chris, not every big man has such delicate skills and so many talents like you!" Mafu Albert said with a smile.

"You really know how to joke, groom, hehehe..." Chris Webber said so, but he was still flattered in his heart.There are not many people who don't like to listen to good words, especially if the other party's words are well-founded.

Jeremy Lin lobbed the ball to Valanciunas, who was on the inside.

Valanciunas faced Drummond with his back and began to play singles with the ball.

The Raptors have a lot of space on the court, making it difficult for the Pistons to easily attack.

Valanciunas used his footsteps to single Drummond and passed the opponent, but unfortunately the must-go goal for the layup came out in a circle...

Drummond grabbed the rebound to make up for his own defensive error.

"Andre is too prone to fake moves on the defensive end. With his physical fitness, there is no need to jump the ball just now!" Mav Albert said.

"Now there are indeed fewer big men in the league who are excellent in single defense. This may have something to do with the change of the rules and the change of the league trend!" Chris Webber said.

For the Pistons, Drummond wanted to return a hook, but still missed the hook—Patterson took the rebound and handed it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

"Andre's handwork is lacking in practice!" the groom Albert shook his head and said.

Chris Webber smiled and said nothing.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to Ying Xiong who was outside the 3-point line on the left wing.

Defending Yingxiong is the opponent's powerful striker Tobias Harris.

Harris is 206cm tall, has very comprehensive skills, can shoot suddenly, and can defend well. He is a player with All-Star potential.

"Tobias is a huge challenge for positioning!" Mafu Albert said.

"In this league, it is a huge challenge for anyone to match up!" Chris Webber said with a wave of his hand.

"That's true!"
