For the preseason, for the NBA teams, this is their last chance to test their lineup.
It is also the first time that cctv will broadcast live the nba preseason.
The live broadcast is naturally the preseason game of the Raptors vs. Mavericks.
After all, the Mavericks chose Daqi. Although Daqi hasn't reported it yet, the Mavericks have already gained a sense of presence in the hearts of Chinese fans.
Not to mention Menglong, as the first home team of Chinese fans in the NBA, it must have attracted much attention.
This game was also deliberately arranged by the league for Chinese fans. It can be regarded as a Chinese derby!
Well, as long as there is a Chinese derby with a Chinese player.
To be honest, Li Ang was a little panicked.
The Dallas Mavericks are now at the power forward position, but they are sitting on the German chariot Dirk Nowitzki.
Although at this time Dirk has not achieved great success, it can even be said that his style of play is completely different from his peak period.
But it is also very powerful.
Moreover, Dirk's height can be around 2.13 meters. Even if Li Ang is rounded to 2.10 meters, he is still short of his height.
It's hard to prevent!
Li Ang was really afraid that the German tank would step on the accelerator and hit himself to death.
In addition, this is the first time Li Ang has appeared in a domestic live broadcast match, and he is even more nervous.
In the past year, domestic fans could only learn about Li Ang through newspapers.
There are only texts and no videos. In this era, there are not even moving pictures. Watching Li Ang is like reading a novel.
Today, this novel-like character is about to appear on TV, and the enthusiasm of domestic fans has also been mobilized.
Before the game started, Uncle Butch announced the starting lineup for the game.
Point guard The strongest point guard on the surface is 160 Boggs, the father of the shooting guard dunk king, small forward McGrady, power forward Li Ang, and center Oakley.
This is a mixed lineup of starters and substitutes. It can be seen that Uncle Butch wants veterans such as Oakley to play with young people like McGrady and Leon.
This game is mainly to train them!
Uncle Butch knows very well that how far the Raptors can go this season depends on how well Li Ang and McGrady can play.
Relying on Carter alone is not enough for the Raptors to make the playoffs.
Li Ang was nervous here, but he didn't know that everyone on the opposite side of the Mavericks was even more panicked.
Especially Nowitzki and Sean Lukes, in the locker room can only be described as fidgeting.
"Here, let Li Ang and Oakley partner inside?" Lukes looked at the Raptors' starting roster and glanced at Old Nelson.
Lukes is not the starting center of the Mavericks' regular lineup, but because he just transferred from the Lakers, Nelson decided to let him start in the first game to adapt to the team's rhythm.
It was a good thing at first, but after discovering the inside line configuration of the Raptors
Lukes really wanted to ask Old Nelson: "Can this starter abstain!"
Not to mention Oakley, his notoriety in the NBA is well known to everyone.
Thanks to many media exaggerations, Li Ang's image of being a villain has also gained a little reputation.
Playing against the inside line formed by these two guys, don't tell me, people who have no guts really dare not.
At the same time, in the cctv studio, Zhengping and Weiping, the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks, were also getting ready to explain the competition.
This is the first live broadcast of an NBA preseason game in China, so the two also attach great importance to it. .
In the locker room, Oakley gathered everyone together and told everyone:
"Before the start of the season, almost no one cared about us. Even the local Toronto fans didn't expect much from us.
But it doesn't matter what others think of us, only we know how eager we are to win this season. "
Having said that, Oakley looked at the two young men, Li Ang and Tracy.
"So, go out there and beat up those Texas cowboys! This is Toronto, and we're the masters of the North!"
With a roar, Oakley rushed out of the locker room with everyone in a hurry.
Otherwise, he is the leader of the locker room? It is estimated that this word was written overtime last night.
It's hard work for you to let the current Carter say these things.
Li Ang's mind is full of the word "beaten", so what about Nowitzki, the beating is over!
? The two sides first stepped onto the court, and there were not too many fans in the Canadian Airline Center Stadium. Some of them came to see Nash of the Mavericks.sp; On both offense and defense, the Raptors are highly entertaining!
Don't be surprised, in the original history, Maizi in the 99-00 season averaged 1.9 blocks per game.
Do you hear that this is what a defender does?
The future scoring champion really started out on defense!
McGrady: I'm really an insider.
Li Ang: I am really an outsider.
Finley, Dirk and Nash, the scoring points of the Mavericks were clearly arranged by Li Ang and McGrady.
And during this period, the Mavericks' strongest point was offense. As long as their attack is blocked, it is basically equivalent to slaughtering the cow.
On the sidelines, Uncle Butch danced happily.
Li Ang and Mai Di, these are the two kings of torment, Menglong's forward defense is simply invincible!
With this pair of crouching dragons and phoenix chicks in hand, the Raptors' defense next season is simply impenetrable.
At that time, it will be supplemented by Carter's offense
Butch already smelled the alluring aroma of the playoffs.
Now, let's slowly appreciate how Li Ang and McGrady are going to chop off the bull's head.
