Chapter 121 Marion's Unwillingness
The general manager of the Raptors stood in the stands and stared at Gao Tian closely, watching him pass by the old Suns defender Marion in a disguised form, rushing into the interior to meet Bosh's supplementary defense, which was a dunk. Won the applause of all, even Raptors fans.
They actually watched Gao Tian play with a very complicated mood. You must know that they were originally the team that held the No.
Do you want to say that they hate Gao Tian?
It's a bit, after all, who would like a player who doesn't want to come here?
But Raptors fans are used to it. They all know that most of the league's first-line stars are unwilling to come here, but what's the point?
They now have their beloved Dragon King Bosh, space power forward Lewis, and Marion. Together, they have three All-Star players in their team. Judging from their strength on paper, they are definitely the top in the Eastern Conference!
Although the team's current record is only ranked fourth in the East due to the running-in between Lewis and Marion and the team, the masters and all of them believe that their strength is far beyond that, and this is just a start.
They love Bosh's consistent roar, they are slowly getting used to Marion's ugly shooting posture, and they are also used to Lewis's constant three-pointers. They stopped in the snow-covered city, but their hearts were hot.
So although they don't like Gao Tian, they thank him for getting the Raptors now!
After all, what Gao Tian brought to the Raptors' changes is obviously far from being able to compare with the two All-Stars Marion and Lewis. They are already very content with the bright future they have now.
The general manager of the Raptors looked at Gao Tian with amazing physical fitness, who had been guarding Bosh and Lewis for several times in a row, Li Xing, who made waves in the inside line with complex eyes, and he always had some indescribable emotions in his heart.
What if you didn't hesitate at the beginning?
Regardless of Gao Tian's attitude, let him come to Toronto directly?
Perhaps the Raptors will not be much better than they are now, but in the next few years, as long as they operate a little bit, they can reach the Eastern Conference Finals and even compete for the championship!
He is not as blindly optimistic as ordinary Raptors fans. Although the Raptors have a three-point All-Star and seem to be strong enough to compete with the Celtics, Pistons, and Cavaliers, the Eastern Conference The fourth is exactly the embodiment of their strength!
Bosh itself is an inside player who tends to shoot, and many of Lewis's technical characteristics overlap with Bosh's, allowing them to stand on the inside with thin bodies. The team's inside has no barrier at all, so it has always been It is the running-in problem of the team that leads to always missing people in the interior, but fundamentally they are still unable to defend the interior.
However, the team's outside line is exactly the opposite of the inside line. Since Marion, the top defensive player on the outside line, leads the opponent's top scorer, the Raptors' outside line defense, which was originally poor in outside line offense and defense, has improved.
Can defend outside and attack inside!
It seems to be very powerful, but all the Raptors management is very worried. Although the Raptors proved in the game that they are not afraid of any team, they are very embarrassed for teams with strong outside and inside. Yes, fate is So wonderful, the Celtics, who are also competitors in the East, are their most feared opponents.
This is a very uncomfortable place for the Raptors. If the Raptors want to rush out of the East, their biggest competitor is the Celtics. Facing the Cavaliers and Pistons, they are the kind of people who can't defend anyone, and it depends on who they are. The kind that feels good, let's explode each other!
However, in the face of the Celtics, they will be beaten. This has to give the Raptors' general manager and coach a headache.
Marion stared cautiously at Gao Tian, who was already ready to hit him with the ball in singles, and he couldn't tell what he felt about this young man.
hatred?Or is it envy?
He didn't know that he was very happy in the Suns. Although they couldn't break through the Western Conference Finals, they were a complete and happy team. However, suddenly, he was informed by Cole that he was traded. He was sent to this snowy place because of that rookie.
He felt that he did not lose to this rookie. He was already an All-Star, but he was just a rookie. Why did he do this?
Originally, he thought that he would go on with his beloved Phoenix until he won the championship, but obviously, they didn't think they could help the team bring the championship.
Seeing that Phoenix has made immediate changes since the arrival of this rookie, and even won the [-]th consecutive victory in team history, and seeing the smiles on the faces of his former teammates, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. It's brilliant, but all of that has nothing to do with me, it's all obtained by trading myself!
Today, he was very happy to see many old comrades in arms. After coming to Toronto, where he was not familiar with, he was very lonely. Although he played well in the game, he somewhat missed the old days. It was the first time he saw them for so long. I was very excited.
But he didn't take the initiative to greet them, he still had resentment in his heart, he vowed that he would work hard to win the game, and then greet them happily!
Raptors to win the Suns?
If it was a week ago, everyone thought it was impossible, but now it is not impossible, but very possible!
Seeing Gao Tian make a fake shot, he was unmoved by it. After the previous trials and observations, he probably had some confidence in Gao Tian's offensive methods, although Gao Tian had relied on his body the few times before. He directly knocked himself away to score points, but this time, he will definitely defend this rookie!
Suddenly seeing Gao Tian's left shoulder swaying and turning around, he just moved his footsteps, and he felt something bad in his heart. He felt a little regretful when he saw Gao Tian turn over and shoot a jumper. Can shoot!
Looking at Marion who was a little annoyed, although Gao Tian didn't move on the surface, he was very surprised in his heart.
Gao Tian is still very confident in his ball protection, but Marion's long arms are really entangled. Although his shooting is really tangled, Marion really deserves his All-Star honor in terms of defense.
The Raptors played very anxiously against the Suns. Bosh and Lewis continued to score points in the interior, allowing the Raptors to take advantage of the home court advantage and secretly press down on the Suns. They continued until 1 minute before the end of the game. They were still close , until Nash stood up, broke out suddenly, used an assist to help Stoudemire dunk, and then used two consecutive three-pointers to completely kill the suspense of the game.
In the end, the Suns won the game 108:105, ending their losing streak and ending their opponent's three-game winning streak.
Marion stared blankly at Gao Tian, who was exchanging jerseys with the surprised Bosh with a smile on his face. He felt that he defended well. He only allowed the rookie to score [-] points, and he had four steals in this game. There were three times for this rookie, but when the Raptors were about to win, his old teammates stood up and beat him to the abyss.
Originally, I wanted to greet them as a victor, but in the end...
He was a little scared, just when he was about to leave quietly,
"Sean! What are you thinking?"
Suddenly someone patted himself on the shoulder, and he quickly turned around to look, Nash, Stoudemire, Lagabel...
The familiar smiles on their faces have not changed at all.
