Chapter 238 Raptors New Lineup
Three months of extreme reaction training really helped Ge Feng a lot.
Chris training camp.
Mitchell, who had been on par with Ge Feng before, is no longer Ge Feng's opponent.
"What the hell, Ge Feng, what have you been doing these three months? Why do I feel like you see through me every time I dribble?"
Mitchell was cut off by Ge Feng again, and now he is about to explode.
This is the fifth time Mitchell was cut off by Ge Feng today.
And they have played less than twenty rounds so far.
"Hey, this is called extreme reaction. My current vision can capture every subtle movement when you dribble." Ge Feng explained.
Mitchell froze for a moment, and then said very disdainfully: "Extreme reaction? What the hell is that? Do you think you are speeding the car? On the basketball court, the timing changes rapidly. I can not only play singles, but also pass and cooperate. Do you think you can make a difference on the defensive end just by reacting quickly? Let me tell you, that is impossible."
Ge Feng shrugged casually: "As long as I like it."
What Mitchell said is right. In fact, defense is not very useful simply by responding quickly.
But Mitchell forgot one thing, that is, Ge Feng's golf quotient is definitely the top level in the league.
The ball quotient is more like a natural attribute of a player. When the ball quotient and reaction are combined, it is terrible.
However, Ge Feng knew in his heart that he was far from being a true defensive master.
A true defensive master depends not only on reaction and golf quotient, but also on the right experience of the game, as well as a strong instantaneous explosive ability, which are also indispensable qualities to become a true defensive master.
Ge Feng is confident that he can defend any second team player in the league, but for the top attackers in the league, Ge Feng still has nothing to do with them.
And the top players in the league are all strong contenders for the championship.
Therefore, if Ge Feng wants to win more championships in the NBA, he must at least improve his defensive quality to a higher level.
Before you know it, the preseason of the new season has already started.
The Raptors have the aura of defending champions, so the main players of the team haven't played much in the preseason.
After Leonard left, the Raptors urgently needed to find a new small forward to replace Leonard's absence.
But the Raptors looked around, but couldn't find a suitable candidate.
Butler, whom the Raptors wanted the most, was unable to negotiate, so it finally fell through.
The 76ers want the Raptors to use Ge Feng as a bargaining chip and trade Butler.
In addition, the 76ers also want to take Siakam in a package.
Of course, the Raptors will not agree to such a deal.
Although Ge Feng and Siakam have just got rid of their rookie status, and their combined salary has doubled again, it is not as high as the salary of the All-Star player Butler alone.
But anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this deal is not worthwhile.
Ge Feng and Siakam have proven their potential, while Butler has been in the league for more than 8 years, and his style of play has been fixed.
Although Butler has improved significantly in recent seasons, defense is not what the Raptors need most.
What they need is a scoring point with a balanced offense and defense.
As for reinforcements in other positions, the Raptors basically didn't move much.
Ibaka, Siakam, Lowry, Ge Feng, Van Fleet, OJ Anunoby are all still in the Raptors.
The only thing that makes Ge Feng happy is that during the offseason, the Raptors signed Jeremy Lin and Marc Gasol, two very useful players.
Marc Gasol is equivalent to an enhanced version of Valanciunas.
Marc Gasol is the younger brother of "Sister-in-law Ke". In terms of comprehensiveness, Xiaojia is no worse than Paul Gasol.
Whether it is three-pointers, rebounds, support or individual singles, Xiaojia is above Valanciunas.
The joining of Xiaojia has made up for the height of the Raptors' inside line after Valanciunas left.
And the salary Marc Gasol asked for this year is only 2000 million US dollars, which is twice as much as Leonard.
As of the trade deadline, the Raptors still have enough salary space to continue looking for more useful and inexpensive players.
Jeremy Lin joined the Raptors with a veteran's minimum salary contract.
Ge Feng still realized his idea of joining forces with Jeremy Lin.
The backcourt of Ge Feng + Jeremy Lin really excited many domestic fans.
Fans can't wait to see the match between Jeremy Lin and Ge Feng.
It's a pity that Jeremy Lin is no longer the crazy Lin he used to be.
Jeremy Lin's current role is more used by Nass as a three-round substitute.
In the preseason games, the main players will not play seriously, so Jeremy Lin got a lot of opportunities to play.
Jeremy Lin intends to prove in the preseason that he has not been crippled. Ge Feng watched with relief the changes after Jeremy Lin came to the Raptors.
Jeremy Lin is also a very hardworking player.
Maybe yellow-skinned players have to work twice as hard as black players if they want to perform crazy in the NBA.
In 5 preseason games, Jeremy Lin averaged 17 points and 6 assists per game, which was quite impressive.
Even Nas, who has high demands on players, has begun to consider the plan to try out Jeremy Lin in the regular season.
If Jeremy Lin can return to a crazy state again this season, it will be a very big boost to the Raptors.Moreover, Jeremy Lin's big heart is also a key ability that the Raptors urgently need in the backcourt.
The Raptors toured China in their last preseason game.
The arena of the game is arranged in Shanghai, China, and the two teams fighting are the Toronto Raptors and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Two days before the game, Ge Feng and Jeremy Lin got on the plane to China together.
This made the Chinese fans very excited.
Although Jeremy Lin is only a Chinese player, Chinese fans love him the same.
Jeremy Lin, like Ge Feng, is the pride of Chinese people in the NBA.
Ge Feng saw many messages from domestic fans on the Internet media.
Ge Feng smiled and handed the phone to Jeremy Lin, and then asked him to read the messages of Chinese fans.
Unlike American fans who questioned him, Chinese fans sent Jeremy Lin more blessings for the new season, hoping that he and Ge Feng could shock the world with performances.
After reading these messages, Jeremy Lin felt a burst of warmth.
Although Jeremy Lin has never lived in China, every time he mentions China, Jeremy Lin will have an indescribable intimacy.
Perhaps this is because of the blood relationship.
Ge Feng simply began to teach Jeremy Lin to play the software commonly used by Chinese people.
As soon as Jeremy Lin registered an account, he immediately gained nearly 20 followers.
Jeremy Lin gave Ge Feng a thumbs up.
"Chinese fans are so enthusiastic! I like China so much!"
Ge Feng laughed out loud, and reached out to pat Jeremy Lin's back who was only keeping his head down to interact with the Chinese fans.
You know, Jeremy Lin has played in the United States for 8 full years.
Although he also had a highlight performance in the Linsanity period in the NBA, he only received less than 2 followers on social software in the United States.
As soon as I registered on Weibo, I immediately got 20.
The gap between countries is too big...
