Chapter 508
Canada Toronto.

This is a city with many Chinese, and it is also the largest city in Canada.

At the same time, there is something special about this city.

That is, there is a basketball team in the city, and this basketball team belongs to the NBA league in the United States.

It is also the only NBA team whose home court is not in the United States.

This team is the Toronto Raptors!

This is a very young team. Before the establishment of the Bobcats new team, the Raptors have always been the youngest in the league, with poor background and low reputation.

It wasn't until they welcomed Vince Carter, the man who dunked with god-like skills, that the team slowly entered people's sights.

Of course, the Raptors' uniform team is not very good. Before Carter, they personally selected another talent, Tracy McGrady, who has the same super potential as his cousin Carter.

But the Raptors didn't pay attention to McGrady at all, and didn't give Carter's treatment to McGrady in his rookie season, so later, after Carter, a cousin and junior (Carter entered the league a year later than McGrady, is considered a junior) After becoming the boss of the Raptors , McGrady resolutely left the Raptors and came to the Magic, and in the Magic, McGrady gained a new life, and he was listed as the "Four Great Shooting Guards" in the New World with his cousin, collectively known as "North Carolina South McGrady".

The Raptors had a chance to have the dream combination of Carter and Tracy McGrady, but in the end, they could only imagine this former combination in their dreams.

Moreover, the Raptors did not keep Carter in the end. After being stepped on by the former Spurs defensive core Bo Wenbao, the Raptors lost confidence in the injured Carter and did not put their minds on this "Dragon King". In 03, With the fourth pick, they selected the new dragon king, Chris Bosh, and then they exiled Carter. The old dragon king could only go to New Jersey to settle down temporarily, and it would be difficult to return to the top.

Qin Yan privately believed that if it wasn't because Bosh got a ring in the Heat now, his historical status would definitely not be higher than Carter!

But Bosh and the others did not keep it. The 06 No. [-] pick, the Raptors originally planned to use this to find a helper for Bosh. They fell in love with the handsome Italian guy Bargnani. Nowitzki, who became the Raptors, then formed a super twin tower with Bosh, which turned out to be just a joke.

You know, in 06, the Raptors could have chosen Aldridge!Although Adelaide and Bosh's style of play is a bit similar, Adelaide definitely has an advantage compared with Bargnani.

No, Bosh didn’t keep him because he didn’t have any helpers. After leading the team for several rounds of the playoffs, Bosh couldn’t stay with the Raptors any longer. Just at this time, the boss James was calling for his comrades:

"Chris, follow the boss to open up the dynasty, and let's take our talents to the South Coast together."

Then Bosh left, leaving behind a mess of the Raptors, and went to Miami on the south coast by himself. After being brutally abused in the 11 finals, he finally won the championship trophy in the 12 finals.

And because Bosh left in a hurry, the blow to the Raptors was even greater. In the past few years when Bosh left, the Raptors returned from one of the original eastern powers to the east. The kind that can only compete with the poorer teams like New York for the bottom one.

The Raptors have been unable to rise.After that, Lowry was traded by the Rockets, and then the 10-year draft played normally, and they picked DeRozan at the tenth place.

This backcourt cooperation is enough. Although it is not as good as the original Cammy and McGrady, but compared with other teams, you will find that the Raptors' combination is already great.

Seeing that these two people have begun to take shape, the Raptors finally paid attention to it again. Last year, they had the eighth pick to find helpers for those two people.

In the end, they successfully chose Maijiji, who was originally the second place in history, but now fell in the ranking because of Qin Yan's arrival.

That's right, it's McGee, not Terrence Ross in history.

As a small forward, McGee perfectly complements Lowry and DeRozan in the backcourt. Moreover, McGee has good defensive strength and will not steal the ball. The chemical reaction between the Raptors' backcourt brothers is very good .

Now, many people say that the Raptors have a poor man's version of the "Three Young Masters".

Yes, I read that right, it's the third young master, but it's the poor man's version...

Even in the original history, in 15 and 16 years, because of the rise of Curry and Thompson of the Warriors, the famous "Splash Brothers" backcourt combination was formed.

As for the Raptors, Lowry himself said that we are a combination of "garbage brothers". Although he said that with a more teasing tone, it can be seen that the Raptors have never been able to become the top wave.

Even if DeRozan later relied on his unsolvable mid-range shot, the title of the first shooting guard will not come to DeRozan, and he is always a little worse than others.

However, the Raptors are now three brothers. If they can work hard and hone their skills, then maybe one day, they can become the true overlord of the north and the powerhouse in the east!

In the future, the Dragon King of the Northern Territory may really be possible.

The whole Spurs team is on the plane to Toronto. The eight-game winning streak has finished seven games, with five wins and two losses. Those two games had to be given up. Even if Popovich was despised by everyone and said he let go, When it's time to let players rest, Popovich will never let them play.

This is the handsome style!
In the last away game, the Spurs' opponent was the Raptors. For Qin Yan, because of his arrival, he made the No. 8 No. [-] in history, and Qin Yan still felt a little guilty.

However, when he read the materials and found that McGee's data and situation in the Raptors were much better than that in the Bobcats in the original history, Qin Yan's shame disappeared. Myself, Maijiji has gained a new life!
If this is the case, Makiji should thank himself.

As for today's opponent DeRozan, Qin Yan still doesn't pay attention to it. It will take a few years for this guy's CIC to become the "CIC King". The current DeRozan is just a person with potential.

As for "Steel Cannon" Lowry, Parker taught him how to be a man many times when he was in the Rockets.

The Dragon King of the Northern Territory, perhaps in a year or two, they will be able to bear such a nickname, but now, they are just a group of newly born little dragon cubs, their wings have not spread, and they cannot breathe. How can they fight against the spurs like this?

Therefore, everyone felt that the pressure of this game was not that great, and it should be easy to win.

But what they didn't expect was that these little dragon cubs, whom they thought were harmless to humans and animals, would bring them a lot of trouble.

The Dragon King of the Northern Territory, no matter how young he is, he is still a dragon!
