Chapter 659 Toronto dragons, the offensive is fierce! 【Subscription】
Walker took the initiative to eat a large meal of turtles before the game started, which made their already poor morale even worse.
Fortunately, the referee entered the field in time, and he stood in the middle circle.
Looking at Lin Long and Olajuwon on both sides, he motioned for the two of them to quickly stand up and start the jump ball!
Lin Long looked at Olajuwon, who was 38 years old, and forgot all those reverie just now, and couldn't help saying:
"Hakim, seriously, your son is almost ready to play in the NBA.
"Shut up!" Between Olajuwon's hair and beard, a lot of white can be clearly seen. He hates others to mention his age on the court. He doesn't accept the old age. Finished things on!
This is the reason why even if he was ruthlessly abandoned by the Rockets and came to Toronto, a place of bitter cold, he never left the arena and did not choose to be rotten!
Looking at the young Carter and Walker, Olajuwon wanted to do something with them to prove to everyone that he still has strength!
The first thing he has to do is to give the Celtics some good looks in the playoffs!
With the referee's whistle, the basketball was thrown high into the sky, but Olajuwon just nodded his toes symbolically, and then quickly returned to defense.
At his age, every time he takes off, he is ruthlessly pressing on his knees. He can't win against Lin Long anyway, so it's better to save as much as he can.
Lin Long won the ball with ease. This is the first time he has won the jump ball for the first time in a row. His height, wingspan and bounce allow him to maintain an almost crushing jump ball winning rate no matter what opponent he faces.
Payton grabbed the basketball and just wanted to launch a fast break, but found that Aaron had come to him at some point.
He stretched out his paw and almost broke the basketball in Payton's hand!
"The Hobbit! You are very sensitive 々々!"
Peyton was nervous for a while, but his face was still as calm as water, and he started his signature trash talk at the beginning.
"Shut up, old man, your trick is useless to me!" Aaron looked firm, resisting Peyton and said:
"I used to train with Lin every day, your trash talk can't even compare to his toes!
"Oh? Is that so?" Peyton smiled contemptuously, and suddenly exerted enough strength, relying on his height and weight, directly crushing Aaron and advancing towards the front court: "I hope Lin also strengthens your fighting ability by the way. !
Aaron tried his best, but he couldn't stop Peyton's tank breakthrough.
After all, the height difference of 20 centimeters and the weight difference of 20 kilograms were the difference that he could not close no matter how hard he tried.
Payton easily pressed all the way to the edge of the penalty area, and then at the moment when Olajuwon came to help defend, a pass from behind gave the ball to Lin Long who came from the middle!
Lin Long seemed to be hanging around outside the 3-point line for a second, but in the blink of an eye.
Lin Long suddenly started to speed up, and with a counter-run, Walker, who was defending him, was thrown clean and rushed directly into the inside!
Walker was thrown more than 2 positions away by Lin Long in an instant. With his speed and agility, it is impossible to catch up with Lin Long!
Lin Long reached the inside line and was unlucky at all to catch the basketball. He pulled it straight up and went to the basket with another powerful one-handed dunk!
Olajuwon has already left the basket at this time. His movement speed has dropped significantly after getting old, and he has long lost the ability to help defend against monsters. Although he still has two blocks per game, it is more dependent on Olajuwon. Rajuwon's own experience, height and 'Big Dream' defensive deterrent.
For example, in this ball, Da Meng was completely unable to get back to the basket, so he could only twist his neck and watch Lin Long succeed in dunking with his eyes.
The Raptors were not defeated by the Celtics' signature air cut. Aaron wanted to pass the ball, and immediately took advantage of his speed. He accelerated with the soles of his feet, broke through Payton's blockade directly, and easily brought the ball to the front. field.
"Old man, your legs are not very light!"
After Aaron arrived in the frontcourt, he did not play hard, but stabilized the rhythm again and waited for his teammates to take positions.
After finding Lin Long guarding Walker, Aaron immediately gave the ball to Carter and asked Carter to single against Jackson!
This is the way the Raptors are best at attacking, that is, Carter and Walker stand on each side, and take turns singled out according to the opponent's defense!
Facing Jackson, Carter didn't hesitate, he took one step, and he left Jackson behind with his huge stride, and then slammed his shoulder. I can watch Carter go to the basket, and after a rhythm change in the face of Big Ben, I can easily pick and hit the basket!
2:2
On the Celtics side, they gave the ball to Lin Long. Lin Long pulled it up from the 3-point line and made a decisive 3-pointer to score another 3-pointer for the team.
On the Raptors side, Carter was still single against Jackson, who made a mid-range jumper.
Then the two sides completely entered the mode of confrontation!
The Raptors do have great ability on the offensive end. Carter and Walker are both top singles players with strong scoring ability. Aaron also has the best speed and breakthrough ability in the league. It's hard to keep up with Aaron's (money's) speed.
Coupled with the big dream in the interior, although there is no previous deterrent.
But once in a while with those two fantastic footsteps and basket singles, it can be considered that Yu Wei is still there!
After the first quarter of the game, the difference between the two sides did not open up much. The Celtics only led the Raptors by 1 point with 28:27!
In the second quarter of the game, the score difference between the two sides remained unchanged. Although the Celtics bench led by Ginobili and others was extremely powerful, they could be called the first bench bandits in the league. Except for Olajuwon, who is young and powerful, Carter and others did not rest much, so they continued to return to the court and used longer playing time to deal with the Celtics' bench advantage.
In the end, at the end of the first half, the Celtics were only 55:52, 3 points ahead of the Raptors!
