Chapter 190: [Target-to explode the entire league! 】

On September 25, the Raptors held a media day, the new season of NBA began.
Jermaine O’Neal is a restricted free man, testing the free market, and the biggest contract for him is the Magic. In 3 years, 18.3 million, the Raptors matched the contract, leaving this insider potential new star.
The Trail Blazers renewed the contract for Camby and O'Neal is almost the same. He is not inferior to the list of the year and is very satisfied with this result.
In addition to O'Neal Jr., the Raptors also renewed Ryan Bowen at the end of the year. At the end of the four-year rookie contract, he signed the first round of 28th Jumeier Jones. There are already 15 players on the team. So I didn't find anyone to play in the preseason. The only person under pressure is center Jerome, whose contract is a non-guaranteed minimum salary, and the Raptors can cut him at any time.
The list of fifteen people is as follows.
Centers: Jerome James, Brad Miller, Kevin Willis, Kevin Cato.
Power forwards: Detrev Schramf, Jermaine O'Neal.
Small forwards: Vince Carter, Ryan Bowen, Jumaine Jones.
Shooting guards: Doug Christie, Tracy McGrady, Jeff Hornacek.
Point guards: Dale Curry, Chauncey Billups, Earl Boykins.
The Raptors hoarded five big men over 210m tall, and three forward swingers who could play the No. 4 position. Their inside strength is definitely stronger than last season.
In the core makeup photo, Yang Rui selected Billups, Carter, McGrady, O'Neal, Miller, and in his previous life, he was selected to the Dream Team and All-Stars, three of which were from the Eastern Army.
All five of them were interviewed by the media, especially Brad Miller. He was only a bench substitute last season. He didn't have much playing time. The playoff performance was average. The reporter was curious about how he suddenly took the position.
Miller said with a smile: "Last season, my shooting ability did not meet the coach's requirements. This summer I practiced shooting hard. He said he would arrange more tasks for me. I look forward to it."
Carter said in an interview, confidently: "In the summer, I singled out with Tracy and practiced together to improve my offensive and defensive skills. I must be stronger than last season."
The reporter asked, "Which of you two is heads-up, who wins the most?"
"Almost, we can't guard each other." Carter replied.
Tracy McGrady gave the same answer. The agents on both sides greeted each other. Some words could not be nonsense, which would affect the image. The media never broke the news that the star singled out.
In the future, Kobe and McGrady will be talked about by fans, and it has always been a mystery. It is impossible for the two to hide in a heads-up situation, and it is impossible to never compete. It's not straightforward to say that it is an unspoken rule of nba, leaving fans with a sense of mystery to guess that the stars are good-looking.
The reporter asked: "Vince, do you have a personal goal this season?"
"The regular season mvp is my goal, as well as the dunk contest champion, this season I want to participate in the dunk contest." Carter replied.
Yang Rui and Carter talked a few times in the summer, indicating that they would arrange tactics for him, asking him to be more domineering this season, and don’t hide in the face of questions from reporters.
Carter made a bold statement, can't the coach want him to become a superstar. This season, he will be more worthy of the nickname "half man and half god."
McGrady's goal is to become an All-Star, a little low-key. Yang Rui also talked to him. In the new season, he will still play off the bench, staggering playing time with Carter in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Tracy McGrady is the core of the team, you can shoot.
Tracy McGrady's three-point accuracy is slightly worse, and Christie's defense breakthrough is slightly worse, winning in a comprehensive way, as a substitute to help the team the most.
The reporter interviewed Yang Rui and asked: "Jerry, when you renewed the contract in the summer, you shouted the championship slogan, but the Raptors did not introduce big-name stars. Are you disappointed?"
If the coaches say that they are disappointed, they will immediately be exaggerated by the media, get out of context, and create contradictions.
Yang Rui laughed: "Just kidding, how could I be disappointed with the Raptors lineup? We had reached the Eastern Conference finals last season. This season I will definitely take the Raptors' heat and the Knicks can't find North. We Will attack the entire league with offense and win the championship."
The reporters at the press conference were all excited. Even in the 1995-1996 season, the Bulls, who set a record for the regular season, Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson did not like Yang Rui like this.
Yang Rui's declaration is unprecedented in the history of NBA, but he is the youngest coach, enough to make headlines.
The reporter asked: "The Raptors players are very young. How do you play against the more experienced teams in the playoffs? Are you too optimistic?"
Yang Rui shook his head and smiled: "The joining of Curry and Hornacek has made the team stronger. They are all outstanding instant combatants. Famous veterans, plus two insiders, Doug Christie, fierce. Long has no shortage of experience. We spent a season running in and the young core will get better and better. Maybe I say that they will have pressure, but if a team is to succeed, it must withstand all kinds of pressure."
The reporter asked: "Who do you think is the team's biggest competitor this season?"
"There are no opponents in the east, and the Lakers and Trail Blazers in the west." Yang Rui gave a definite answer. He really thinks there are no opponents in the east.
The reinforcements of the teams have not changed from what he knew in his previous life. Heat point guard Tim Hardaway is another year old and defending black holes; the core of the Pacers is Miller, Rose, and the outside of the Raptors; the age of the Knicks Ewing Too big to leave Oakley.
If there is no Raptors, the Eastern Conference has entered a weak period. In Yang Rui's previous life, the Pacers will reach the finals this season. He thinks the depth of the current lineup of the Raptors, to clean up the Pacers is to play.
The reporter asked: "Aren't you optimistic about the defending champion Spurs?"
"Not good, the Spurs are not strong enough in the summer, and the lineup is defective. The Blazers traded in Steve Smith and added a three-point shooting point, also a star~EbookFREE.me~ He is more suitable than Leder The team. And the Lakers signed coach Phil Jackson, his triangle offensive idea will play the power of O'Neal to a greater extent."
The reporter asked: "Russian rookie Kirilenko has to perform two years of contract to join the NBA, will it affect the Raptors?"
"I will wait for him to become a free agent. For the time being, he will practice in Europe. He is only 18 years old and has little experience in the game. Even if his talent is outstanding, there is no need for the team to pay him a penalty."
The reporter asked: "I heard that the introduction of 165m tall guard Boykins in the summer is your idea. What do you think of this player?"
Yang Ruizheng said: "I believe that Earl's strength is enough to get a foothold in NBA. How much playing time he can get depends on his state and effort. I guarantee that he will get a performance opportunity and play his special skills."
The reporter asked: "What do you think the Raptors are short of now?"
"The Raptors have no shortcomings and weaknesses. We didn't have much time to break in last season and started the regular season hurriedly. This season is different. We have more time to practice tactics and play tacitly. I believe the players will adapt to the new style of play, new This season, we will show it to everyone."
