Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 180 182 [Peak Showdown]

Canada, Toronto, is the only city in the world that has an NBA team that is not in the United States. It should be a mutual achievement relationship with the Toronto Raptors.

Compared with the NBA, the Toronto Raptors are a young team, but the greats have always been unwilling to be ordinary.

For this young latecomer, they have been seeking to rise for many years, and they have been going all out for the O'Brien Cup.

From Vince Carter to Tracy McGrady, from Chris Bosh to DeMar DeRozan.

In the history of the Toronto Raptors, there is actually no shortage of big-name players. The only thing they lack is the guy who can lead them to the top.

Actively seeking change has always been the belief of this city.

Therefore, this past summer, the Toronto Raptors hard-welded many powerful players in the league and got the "robot" Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs.

Kawhi Leonard + Kyle Lowry + Ibaka!
The revived Toronto native has transformed into a top player in the Eastern Conference and one of several favorite teams in the league.

The Toronto Raptors have played five games since the start of the new season.

Ranked first in the East with 4 wins and 1 loss, it is already one of the best records. What is even more frightening is that this team, led by Kawhi Leonard, has an average win margin of 16.1 points per game.

A stat that stands out from the crowd!

In this case, the teams in the East all looked up to the sky and sighed.

LeBron James just left, and a more ruthless guy came around. So, can the Toronto Raptors' singing and sleeping come to an end?

A day later, when the former San Antonio Spurs twins met at the Toronto Raptors' home stadium-Canada Airlines Center Stadium.

Everything makes people look forward to this Pengzhuang where Mars hits the earth.

The Dallas Mavericks led by Bayonet are the absolute kings of the Western Conference. They have not lost a single game since the beginning of the new season. Bayonet himself has also played phenomenal performances in many consecutive games.

Kawhi Leonard led the Toronto Raptors, the leader in the Eastern Conference, and the offensive firepower shocked the league. Kawhi Leonard has become more versatile in the new season. After LeBron James, do you understand that he seems to be the most king? guy.

Who will have the last laugh?
Dallas Mavericks continue winning streak?Or the Toronto Raptors' call to end the Dallas Mavericks?
"I think it's a real [-]-[-] game, wait and see, guys, this game will be the most golden matchup since the start of the new season"

Kenny Smith set the tone for the shoemaker's main event even before the game even started.

"The original San Antonio Spurs twins will undoubtedly be the key to this game. When the bayonet meets the robot, the performance of the two of them will have a major impact on this game."

In the Canadian Airline Center Gymnasium, Jiang Hao rubbed his temples, and he looked up at Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green on the other side.

There is a homely feeling.

Suddenly, Jiang Hao walked melancholy.

Time flies, as if yesterday they were still working together for the O'Brien Cup, and today they suddenly faced each other on the field.

Jiang Hao turned his head.

He didn't want to have any communication with these two guys before the game. In the game that will start immediately, he certainly won't be merciful, and maybe after the game is over, they will have a brief exchange.

Although Jiang Hao only played for one season with the San Antonio Spurs, in fact, he is very popular and has a good relationship with almost every teammate.

Even Leonard, who is taciturn, publicly praised Jiang Hao when Jiang Hao led his team to defeat the Houston Rockets at home.

"Let's not talk about who is better between the bayonet and the robot, which is not nutritious. We just need to remember that these two guys are the hottest stars in the league since the start of the new season."

Shaquille O'Neal pre-emphasized the wave because he likes both bayonets and robots, which is one of the reasons he has been optimistic about the San Antonio Spurs last season.

beep!
With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle gave this game enough attention.

Luka Doncic, Dwight Powell, Jiang Hao, Trevor Ariza, DeAndre Jordan.

Replacing Harris Barnes with veteran Trevor Ariza is what Rick Carlisle had in place for Kawhi Leonard.

Rick Carlisle dispatched such a starting lineup, which proves one point, that is, after the start of the game, the team must strive to focus on the away side and take the initiative in their own hands earlier.

Therefore, with Harris Barnes on the bench, Jiang Hao must take on greater responsibilities on the offensive end in the first quarter. He can no longer play the Golden State Warriors in the last game until the second quarter. Just started attacking with the ball.

DeAndre Jordan helped the team get the ball first to initiate the offense in the jump ball session.

The basketball was pushed into the hands of Luka Doncic.

Tonight will be quite a challenge for the gentle-looking young Slovenian boy.

Although Kyle Lowry often disappears on the defensive end, his physical confrontation may be one of the best among guards in the league. In addition, Kyle Lowry, as a veteran who has been in the league for many years, often times, he always Able to deflate young players.

In addition, as the league's top 3D, Danny Green will put tremendous pressure on him on the defensive end.

After Luka Doncic advanced the ball to the frontcourt, he handed it to Jiang Hao immediately.

At the free throw line, even Jiang Hao himself did not expect that the first player to face him tonight would be Kawhi Leonard.

Frankly speaking, facing Kawhi Leonard, Jiang Hao's nerves tensed instantly, because he knew Kawhi Leonard's ability on the defensive end very well.

When they were in the San Antonio Spurs before, they had a one-on-one in private. From then on, Jiang Hao felt the power of the two-time best defensive player.

Jiang Hao firmly controlled the ball with his right hand and stepped out with his right foot. He tried to break through Leonard.

But the experienced Leonard is not fooled at all.

How to do?
Then force one to vote, anyway, the teammates don't have any good chances.

Facing a defensive player like Leonard who has no advantage in height.

Jiang Hao chose dry pulling.

Kawhi Leonard rushed towards Jiang Hao at the moment when he shot.

However, he didn't dare to rush too hard, he was afraid that Jiang Hao would go to the free throw line.

and so.

The basketball stumbled and, after a few bounces on the rim, eventually went into the rim.
