Chapter 62 Dragon King
The environment in Canada is relatively cold, far away from home, and the tax rate is a little higher than that of the United States. Therefore, many American players are reluctant to go to the Raptors, which also affects the strength and record of the Raptors.

When they first joined the league, under the leadership of Vince Carter and Damon Stoudemire, the Raptors quickly became a strong contender in the East. In 2003, Bosh of the golden generation joined the team through the draft and became the core of the team. With the formation of the Heat's Big Three in 2010, Bosh transferred to the Heat, and the Raptors began to enter the leaderless era, until Lowry and DeRozan later With two shots in the backcourt, Leonard led the Raptors to defeat the Warriors 2019-4 in 2 and won the first championship in team history.

But that was a matter of Channing's previous life. The current Raptors team is average, a little better than the 76ers. Last year, that is, in the 2006-2007 season, the Raptors selected European softie Bargnani as the No. 47 pick , under the leadership of Bosh, the Raptors 35 wins and 4 losses, ranked third in the East in the regular season, but was eliminated by the Nets 2-[-] in the first round of the playoffs.

The head of the Raptors, Bosh, is a player very familiar to fans. He is now nicknamed the Dragon King. He is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 106 kilograms. His biggest feature is his long neck and looks thin.Last season, Bosh averaged 22.6 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, the double-double data, the highest in his career, and was selected to the second team of the best team, and James, Wade, Anthony are all outstanding figures of the 03 generation.

Using the tablet to keep scrolling Bosh's highlights, to deal with such an all-star inside player, Channing needs to work hard, and the trust of Cheeks and Evans cannot be wasted.

As night falls, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the Airline Center Gymnasium is full of seats, and the bright lights shine on, making this basketball stadium, which can accommodate [-] fans, the focus of the entire Toronto.

After being fueled by the media, all Raptors fans are hostile to Channing, who has never met before. There are many signs in the auditorium, which say trash talk to Channing. Toronto fans use this direct method Show support for the home team.

In the arena, the lights dimmed, and the Raptors players appeared one after another amidst the passionate shouts of the DJ and the enthusiastic screams of the fans. Kapono, Tj Ford, Calderon, Bargnani... the last one to appear It's Chris Bosh.

Immediately after it was the turn of the 76ers to play, they encountered completely different treatment. When it was Channing's turn to appear, the voice of the DJ was completely covered by the boos of the fans.

"Stop your witchcraft and go back to China!"

"Bosh will tear you apart tonight!"

Trash talk came from all directions, which startled Channing. It was his first time on the road, and he encountered such a "friendly welcome". Even when he ran out of the player tunnel, an enthusiastic Raptors fan Trying to grab Channing's clothes, he shouted: "You are defeated, you will lose this game!"

Channing was speechless. It seemed that the Raptors fans still remembered the defeat of Philadelphia last season.

"Qian, welcome to our first road trip, it seems that you are very famous here." Iguodala and Channing joked.

"That's natural. Thanks to our head coach, the fans here welcome me so grandly."

Hearing Channing's answer, Cheeks bowed playfully: "You're welcome, I hope you enjoy tonight's treatment."

The warm-up began, and the Raptors fans still didn't let Channing go. There was a fat man in the front row who kept talking trash. It seemed that he wanted to use this method to lose weight.

Channing didn't take it to heart at all. He bent down in the direction of the big fat man, opened his right hand to his ear, and made a classic Iverson gesture of listening to the fans cheering, expressing that the other party's trash talk was too boring.

Such provocative actions once again aroused the anger of the fans. Even today's commentator, the live commentator Reggie Miller sitting very close to Channing, couldn't help laughing.

"This Chinese kid is really interesting. Facing the anger of tens of thousands of fans, he still talks and laughs freely. He must be a player with a big heart." Another commentator Barkley commented.

Reggie Miller also felt the same: "Yes, an absolute big-hearted player, just like me."

Barkley rolled his eyes at his partner's braggadocio.

Today's game is broadcast live across the United States. ESPN beauty reporter Lawrence interviewed Raptors boss Bosh before the game, focusing on asking him about Channing as his nemesis.

Such a question is obviously intended to further the fire, and the United States always enjoys such dramas of grievances and old enemies.

Bosh took the bait decisively. He stretched his neck and roared at the camera, issuing a pre-match declaration of war:
"I've heard stuff like that, but I don't know who it's against, I mean, there's this and that, nobodies who come out every day and do these antics, and I don't care who it's against, maybe it won't be long , he may not be able to stay in the league, and I am a 20+10 All-Star insider, a superstar here, my team, including myself, are getting stronger and stronger on the right path, I have never Don't be afraid of anyone's challenge!"

Bosh's domineering speech drew warm cheers from the fans at the scene. Channing scratched his ears and said that he didn't hear what he said.

After the warm-up of both sides is completed, the game will officially start soon.

The Raptors' starting lineup includes point guard Jose Calderon, shooting guard Anthony Parker, small forward Jamario Moon, power forward Chris Bosh, and center Bargnani.Their head coach is Sam Mitchell.

For Philadelphia, Cheeks sent their starting five tigers, Miller, Green, Iguodala, Channing and Dalembert, and Channing entered the starting lineup for the first time.

With a whistle, Dalembert beat Bargnani with a jump ball, and the Philadelphia 76ers got the first wave of offensive ball. Miller Sr. dribbled the ball steadily across the half and began to organize the attack.

In Philadelphia's first wave of offense, after a few cooperations, Willie Green broke through for a layup and was blocked by Bosh.

After landing, the Dragon King Bosh raised his arms and roared, causing the home fans to cheer.

It was so passionate, Channing quickly moved away from him, afraid of being sprayed by Bosh's saliva.

The Raptors attack, Calderon holds the ball at the top of the arc, and with the help of Bosh's screen, he advances a step. After being delayed by Channing, Calderon passes the ball back to the boss Bosh.

Channing quickly returned to the defense and faced Chris Bosh for the first time.

"Not long after the opening, Bosh and Channing will face off."

Barkley was very happy to watch, he likes this kind of heads-up game very much.

Raptors fans booed more violently, but Channing didn't bother to listen to what they had to say, all his attention was on the opponent.
