Chapter 154 Porphyrin~
soon.

When the Nets arrived at the Air Canada Center, changed in the locker room and arrived on the court with only 30 minutes remaining in the game.

"come on, come on, come on!"

The Nets calmed down, cheered each other up, and showed their best mental outlook. They have won 6 consecutive victories, and they do have extremely full self-confidence.

Even facing the seventh-ranked Raptors in the Eastern Conference, they are not afraid.

There is still half an hour before the game, and both teams are also conducting warm-up training in their respective half of the arena.

"The Nets have been gaining momentum recently. They have won six consecutive victories. If it weren't for the previous 6-game losing streak, the current Nets might be among the top players in the Eastern Conference."

"Yeah, but tonight they are playing back-to-back against the Raptors, and they have consecutive away games. I think they will be physically tired. The Raptors are not a weak team. I don't know if they can withstand the pressure and beat the Raptors. "

"Hey, I think it is the Raptors who are withstood the pressure. The Nets are creating a 7-game winning streak. The outside world is expecting the Raptors to end the Nets' winning streak. If not, the seventh place in the Eastern Conference is still weak. The team's hat is estimated to go to the Raptors."

"When you said that, I really remembered that someone said before the game that the Raptors were fully prepared to face the Nets and end the Nets' seven-game winning streak."

"Whether it can end or not, the key point still lies in whether Wang Chao, this magical Huaxia boy, can enter the third quarter of "Rampage" again tonight and end the game in one fell swoop. Let us wait and see."

The commentators Reggie Miller and Amy John continued to discuss and analyze before the game, and gradually revitalized the audience's enthusiasm for watching.

There is a word "runaway third quarter" here.

The source of "running away in the third quarter" is: In these few games, Wang Chao almost always scored 20+ points in a single quarter in a single quarter. 20+ in a single quarter is definitely in a runaway state.

It often happens in the third quarter, so Wang Chao has the title of "running away in the third quarter".

soon.

The warm-up time is over, the official game is about to start, and the two sides will start to play.

Toronto Raptors: Jose Calderon (guard), Leandro Barbosa (guard), Reggie Evans (forward), James Johnson (forward), Andre Bargna Ni (center).

New Jersey Nets starters: Morrow (guard), Tracy McGrady (forward), Damai James (forward), Farmar (guard), Lopez (center).

Wang Chao is still a substitute in this game. Although the head coach Johnson has planned to let him start before the game, Wang Chao still insists on the substitute.

After all, the previous lineup combination, whether it is tactical coordination, personnel adjustment or time allocation, the players have worked well.

If Wang Chao is suddenly switched to the starting lineup, he will definitely feel uncomfortable and even affect the game. This is not the state Wang Chao wants to see.

So he sticks to the bench.

And almost at the moment when he saw the Raptors starters on the court, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with confusion: "Why isn't DeRozan starting? And"

Moreover, Wang Chao didn't see DeRozan on the bench, but he obviously saw him during the warm-up training, but he is gone now, obviously a temporary decision to leave.

Why? !
Wang Chao was a little puzzled.

The Raptors really want to beat the Nets and end their winning streak, so they will all start the game, so how can they let DeRozan, who is the core of the team, not play the game.

There must be something wrong with this!
Not only Wang Chao, but even the commentators were also puzzled. They hadn't received the news that DeRozan would not play before the game, and they don't know what happened now.

Miller was contacting the front line, trying to ask for answers, and soon got some replies, and after getting the replies, he smiled helplessly.

"Miller, what's going on?!"

John Xun asked doubtfully, Miller shook his head slightly, and said: "DeRozan seems to have caught a cold in sleep yesterday, and he ate some cold food in the morning, and now he is having a stomachache."

"This is too careless."

John was suddenly helpless.

NBA players have always paid attention to diet and health. This kind of low-level mistake of making a stomachache should not be made on this critical occasion.

But there is no way.

After all, if you want to play with a stomachache, you must be in a very bad state on the court and you will not perform well.

then
DeRozan took a temporary truce for the game.

With the Raptors having 3 All-Stars, DeRozan averaged 17.6 points per game this season. Such a powerful shooting guard's truce is obviously not good news for the Raptors.

But for the Nets, it is excellent news, even a surprise.

Last night they were still discussing how to limit DeRozan's scoring. They didn't think of a good way for a while, but now they don't need to think about this person.

The confidence of the Nets doubled.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Raptors without DeRozan are not strong. Barbosa and Evans are still on the court, an outside line connects the team, and an inside line grabs rebounds and hits the basket.

The Raptors still have good combat power, at least facing the Nets, they still have the power to fight.

Game start.

Andre Bargnani took the lead to get the rebound. Barbosa quickly advanced the frontcourt after receiving the ball. Vince.

At the high position at the top of the arc, Evans threw a mid-range throw, and there it is.

Evans' mid-range shooting is very stable. Tonight's first offense, the first shot, showed his stable mid-range shooting ability and his level.

Immediately afterwards, Basabo cut to the basket, attracted James Johnson who was defending and then distributed the ball to the corner, and there were also small throws from the corner.

The Raptors scored two goals in a row to get off to a 4-0 start at home.

But the unstoppable Nets are not easy to mess with. Morrow lobs to Lopez under the basket. The latter hits Andre Bargnani hard, pushes him away and turns to hook, short, and grabs the rebound. I checked it, and there was it.

Morrow also used the screen to find a three-point shot from the left corner. The first time was short, Lopez grabbed the rebound and quickly distributed it to Morrow. He threw another three-pointer and made a hit.

The two teams played very patiently at the beginning. They both played out the tactics assigned by the coach and converted them into points.

But the Nets have a lot of newcomers after all, so the stability is slightly worse than that of Evans, Basabo and others.

Half a quarter has passed.

Neither team had a scoring climax, but the score was unknowingly opened by 5 points.

Raptors (23): (16) Nets.

"Beep beep beep~"

The Nets called a timeout, and the 5-point difference was an acceptable defense for Johnson. After all, this was when Wang Chao didn't play, and the 5 points continued to increase.

During the 10-game losing streak, it is almost always a big pit with more than ten points in the daily start.

Pause back.

"Wow, Wang Chao is here, that amazing kid is finally here!"

"Yeah, the Nets have him or not. There are two worlds. As long as he is on the court, the Nets' net rating will always be positive. This Huaxia kid is very positive."

"Whether the Raptors without DeRozan can sink the Nets, the key point lies in the restrictions on Wang Chao."

"Yeah, if Wang Chao is restrained, the Raptors will have a good chance in this game, but... is Wang Chao so easy to restrain?"

John Xun was talking to Miller with a little excitement on his face.

Although they are commentators, they are also fans. They also like to watch Kobe, Durant, Wade, LeBron and other superstars play because of the sharp viewing, and Wang Chao is one of them.

"Wow!"

The audience on the field also erupted in shock because of Wang Chao's appearance.

Wang Chao came on, Morrow went off, and the Nets had the right.

Morrow took possession of the ball across the half and gave it to Wang Chao at the top of the arc in the middle.

"tread!"

Basabo posted directly. Wang Chao's gorgeous performance in the recent game made him have to pay attention to Wang Chao and had to mark the Nets' substitute from the very beginning.

"Um?!"

However, after meeting Basabo's eyes, Wang Chao felt his abnormal expression, his brows were wrinkled, his complexion was tense, and he looked a little painful.

"you're uncomfortable?!"

Wang Chao bent down and asked casually while controlling the ball.

"Porf~"
