Chapter 280: [Unveiled vs. Pacers]

NBA's first official strength list, the Raptors ranked first, followed by the Lakers, Knicks, Spurs, Kings, 76ers, Heat.
The Knicks have become the team with the most rankings. Experts are unanimously optimistic about Grant Hill, sending Houston away in exchange for him.
The Knicks have Glen Rice, a former All-Star player, and also retain a three-point shooting point.
Ewing left, everyone felt that the Knicks would not be weakened, but optimistic about Ben Wallace becoming an All-Star. In the absence of Ewing, the Knicks have a higher win rate, and Wallace's defensive performance is amazing.
The Heat are ranked after the 76ers, because before the start of the game, Mo Ning checked out the kidney disease, and the Heat's strength lacked the core of the inside.
The decline in the Western Power Rankings is the Blazers and Timberwolves.
The Trail Blazers ranked 13th, took the important inside substitute Brian Grant, and also sent Camby, Sabonis is another year old, and the inside strength has dropped significantly. Pippen's state is not as good as a year, which is even more disappointing.
The Timberwolves only ranked 16th, barely making the playoffs, Joe Smith's "Yin Yang contract" scandal was finally exposed.
The Timberwolves were severely sanctioned by the league office, deprived of first-round draft picks in the next five years plus a fine of $3.5 million, and Joe Smith was forced to transform into a free agent. Any team with less than 15 players can sign with him.
The Lakers team is still low-key, in fact, they are not very comfortable. The experts are not optimistic about the Lakers, not because the lineup is worse than the Raptors, but because they have not succeeded, and their habit is seen as declining.
Yang Rui gave an interview and shouted the championship slogan as usual. "We were already champions last season, and as long as our defending defeat fails, we are going backwards. So, I said don't care about the record, do you believe it?"
On October 31, the Raptors opened the home game against the Pacers, the old opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The first game against the Blazers in the West Lakers, the league is the same as in the past, picking a gimmick game.
The Pacers were easily swept by the Raptors in the playoffs, losing a ugly look. In the summer, they walked inside and outside the starting lineup, Dell Davis and Mark Jackson, and their strength declined. But the addition of center Marcus Camby makes everything interesting. Many people want to know how Camby can play against the old owner.
When training in the morning, the old players were relaxed and chatted about Facebook’s board games in the locker room.
The popularity of the Little Yellow Man Farm has passed. This game attracts users fast, but it is also fun to play. Once the land is opened, the crops can be planted, and the sense of freshness is lost. After the upgrade, there is the content of the processing field, but it is just to change the soup without changing the medicine.
In August, Facebook launched a game platform, which is no longer a simple game section, and can play various chess and card games.
Go, Chess, Lianliankan, Texas Hold'em and so on are all available. Players can log in to the game platform using the same account on Facebook.
Two playoff games, one championship, the confidence of the Raptors core players has built up, they do not believe they will lose to the Pacers.
Yang Rui didn't believe it either. Little O'Neal and Carter didn't have much training in the training camp. They didn't play in the preseason. They regained their physical strength in a month, and the team's condition was not bad.
The Pacers are far worse than the star, and the core Jaylen Rose has missed his right hamstring because of the preseason. He will miss two to four weeks of the game and cannot open the opener.
In the summer, the Pacers coach changed staff, Larry Bird changed to team manager, the coach is "smiling assassin" Isaiah Thomas, this is his first time as a coach, no experience, before even assistants did Ever.
The media generally believes that this is no suspense, Thomas's career in the first game to touch the defending champion, is definitely a big test.
In the evening, when the players played, Marcus Camby was booed by the home fans.
In the Raptors, Camby always felt that he was taller and higher. When he left, he didn’t say anything good about the Raptors. Now that the old club became a champion team, he was swept away by the Trail Blazers. Happy to hear.
Camby pretended to be indifferent, but was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide. He didn't make a big contract, didn't build up popularity, joined the Pacers, and his tactical status was not as good as Austin-Crohill.
The championship ring award ceremony was first performed at home. The players took turns to lead the ring. Jeff Hornacek and Detrev Schramf also retired to the scene and received their own rings.
They watched the game on the sidelines and became guests. Players who have transferred to other teams will receive the ring when they play away.
The players warm up and the game is about to start.
This season, the Raptors have won the most live broadcasts in the United States. The Chinese cctv5 also broadcast live matches.
Zhang reasonable introduction said: "Yang Rui said in an interview to reuse rookie Michael Reed, he started today, and the other four were the starters last season, Billups, Carter, O’Neal, Bradmi. Le."
Partner Xu Jicheng said: "The Pacers started with four players and their strength is obviously not as good as that of the Raptors. I think today's suspense is not about winning or losing, but how long the Pacers can support entering garbage time."
The audience didn't take the Pacers in their eyes, their starters were too shabby: Travis-Best, Reggie Miller, Crohill, Sam Perkins, Camby.
The 40-year-old veteran Perkins entered the starting lineup, which made Yang Rui a little surprised. The Pacers simply looked down on the Raptors. He couldn't think of how Perkins could prevent O'Neal.
O'Neal jumped the ball to win and the game began.
Billups passed the ball to Carter, the players pulled away, Billups, O'Neal on the left, Brad Miller and Reed on the right. Midway Carter holds a spherical frame, one-on-one with Crowhill.
Carter faced defenders like McGrady, Christie, and White Bowen in the Raptors for the two seasons. When he went to the Dream Team, he even singled out with the stars. The defense against the 3rd position such as Crowhill was poor. Player, he has no pressure.
He took the crotch dribble and took a step to the right. After attracting the opponent's center of gravity, the right hand slammed the ball to the left and turned aside. He stopped the jumper before the free throw line.
With no one to defend in front of him, Carter made a solid shot for the Raptors' first goal of the season ~EbookFREE.me~ than 0.
The Pacers attacked, and the formation was opened. Best and Camby hit the pick and roll.
Miller changed defense in time, Billups also bypassed the defense, formed a double-team, Best hurriedly passed the ball to the middle, and gave the emptied Camby.
Camby has been playing on the bench for the Blazers, and there are very few mobile phone meetings. Dunleavy did not arrange for him to catch a jumper. He lacked confidence in this position, and the fans on the sidelines neatly booed, putting pressure on him.
Camby hesitated without a shot and passed the ball to Reggie Miller. Dare not to shoot, sometimes more terrible than shooting iron. Camby doesn't even have the guts to shoot, what else can he do on the offensive end? He is destined to be a blue collar for life.
Reggie Miller faced Carter's defense, failed to get rid of it, and then scored the ball to Perkins. The latter couldn't beat O'Neal and could only find his teammates.
It's almost 24 seconds before Best beats Lupus and misses a jumper. Brad Miller grabs a rebound.
The Pacers have too few starting points to attack, making it difficult to break through the Raptors' defense.
