Chapter 876 Season Opener

The starting lineup of the Bulls in the away game is: center - Robin Lopez, power forward - Lauri Markkanen, small forward - Paul Zipser, shooting guard - Jerian Grant, point guard - Justin Holiday.

Because of the conflict between Mirotic and Portis, this year's No. 7 rookie Markkanen got the chance to start.For him, this is indeed a blessing in disguise!

LaVine was unable to play because of injuries, so the Bulls' starting lineup, except for center Robin, was all young people, and they were not the kind of highly talented young people.

——For such a team, no one believes that they are not rebuilding the team.

The commentators for this game are Mike Breen and Mark Jackson.

"Mark, the rings are finished, the game is about to start, the new season is finally here, and we have another chance to comment together, hahaha..." Mike Breen laughed.

"Yeah, seeing the scene just now, I also felt very excited and excited. As an NBA player, I fantasize about such a moment." Mark Jackson sighed.

"That's right, Mark, it's been a few years since you retired, so it's normal to have some feelings." Mike Breen said.

Serge Ibaka and Robin Lopez near the middle circle prepare for the jump ball and the game is about to start.

Robin beat Ibaka with a jump ball, and Justin Holiday dribbled slowly across half court.

The first wave of the Bulls' offense was to hit the restricted area. Robin Lopez received the ball in the deep position, but the opponent did not come to help the defense.He took advantage of his body and made a hook - the ball bounced a few times on the basket and hit it!
The Bulls strike first!
Jeremy Lin dribbles over and picks and rolls with Ibaka at the top of the arc.He took advantage of Robin's slow movement in pick-and-roll defense, forced the opponent, cut to the basket, and succeeded in a layup!

The two teams started the battle 2:2!

"Letting Serge play center is indeed a lot more tactical on the offensive end!" Mike Breen said.

"Yeah, for a team with a traditional big center, this kind of pick-and-roll attack is uncomfortable." Mark Jackson said.

On the Bulls' side, the tactics couldn't be played out, and Paul Zipser made a strong shot-no!
Ying Xiong received the rebound and gave it to Jeremy Lin to advance.

The Raptors counterattacked, Jeremy Lin and Ying Xiong connected in the frontcourt, the latter received a second pass from the former, and the alley-oop succeeded!
"Bang - first dunk of the season!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

"Right now, he really plays as he pleases. Others try their best, but he seems to be relaxed!" Mark Jackson laughed.

"This is a historical superstar, and you can't be envious." Mike Breen also laughed.

The Bulls were defended by the opponent for 24 seconds!
"These young people in Chicago are so poor offensively. Not only do they not have much ability to hold the ball, but their outside shooting is also unstable!" Mike Breen said shaking his head.

"Rebuilding teams throughout the league are looking for talented young people, but there are only a few who really have extraordinary talents, and not everyone can get them." Mark Jackson explained.

For the Raptors, DeRozan turned over and scored a jumper!
4:2!The Raptors overtook the score!

The Bulls continued to attack, and Jerian Grant singled out Yingxiong with the ball.

"Jerry singled out No.1 in the league. His courage is commendable, but the result..." Before Mike Brin finished speaking, Jerian Grant was cut off by Ying Xiong!

"This 'Dragon Claw Hand' really inherits the Chinese martial arts tradition!" Mike Brin laughed.

Ying Xiong steals the ball and hits a counterattack. Before the opponent decides whether to throw or stay under the basket, he suddenly pulls up from outside the 3-point line, makes an emergency stop and makes a 3-point shot-hit!
"Should be 3-pointers, now I'm really confident!" Mike Breen said.

"As far as I know, he practiced hard on 3-pointers this summer!" Mark Jackson said confidently.

The Raptors lead 7:2!Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg requested a timeout!

Pause back, the game continues.

For the Bulls, there was no chance from the outside line, and the ball went to Robin Lopez inside.

But the Raptors suddenly contracted inside and pinched!
Robin hurries the pass - turnover!
The Raptors counterattacked with the ball, but was destroyed by the opponent's tactical foul!

The Raptors attack in the frontcourt.

Ying Xiong moved without the ball, and suddenly cut in from outside the 3-point line...

Jeremy Lin decisively scored the ball, Ying Xiong faced Robin who was crouching under the basket after receiving the ball, an old man hooked the ball, and the ball was easily scored!
From the beginning of the game to now, Ying Xiong has not missed yet!
"It should be really easy to beat these young people!" Mike Brin laughed.

"It's better to let the young people experience the difficulties, it's better than smooth sailing, and then don't think about making progress! Let them know the gap between them and the best players in the league, and it may stimulate them to train hard!" Mark Jackson said.

In the first quarter of the game, the Raptors led their opponents by 40 points in a single quarter with 17:23!
For the home team fans at the scene, this is no NBA regular season, it is simply a one-sided massacre.

Because the score gap is relatively large, Ying Xiong got a long rest time during the festival.For the young Raptors, because the team has a big lead, they also have more playing opportunities and playing time.If you wait for the garbage time to come soon, you will have more opportunities to train yourself on the court.

应雄直到第2节还剩6分钟的时候才被替换上场。他上来投了一个超远3分——不中！这是他本场比赛首次投篮不中，每次他出手3分的时候，对手就感到一阵恐慌。这是在当初他3分还未大成的时候所没有的。

At this time, the point difference between the two teams was 22 points, which was about the same as before he left the field.However, for the Bulls, it is not easy to recover this gap.

The Bulls attacked and Markkanen made a 3-pointer!
The point difference is 19 points!This is the first time that the difference between the two teams has reached more than 20 points since the second half of the first quarter.

"Laurie is one of the more promising young people in Chicago!" Mike Breen said.

"In today's league, if big players don't have the ability to shoot, they are ashamed to go out and say that they play inside! Hehehe..." Mike Brin continued with a smile
"The league is changing. In the current NCAA or overseas, young insiders are practicing shooting. On the contrary, there are not many young people studying inside footsteps!" Mark Jackson said.

Lowry held the ball in the frontcourt and hit the outside line.

Ying Xiong didn't do any additional actions when he caught the ball, he pulled it up directly, and made a 3-pointer——Yes!
The point difference returned to 22 points again!
"Answer ball!" Mike Brin laughed.

"You should give Laurie a lesson. It's a rare opportunity!" Mark Jackson laughed.

"Today's attack was all off the ball, and he didn't play much with the ball, which shows how easy he is!" Mike Breen said.
