Chapter five hundred and forty second single defense

"Has he refused clearly?" Pelinka also looked disappointed.

"It can be seen from what he said that he didn't even want to talk to me. You also heard that I almost said all the conditions I could give, but even so, I couldn't impress him." Jenny Bass said.

"It's okay, I think we still have time. As long as we show enough sincerity, we believe he will definitely consider us." Pelinka said.

"I hope so! I definitely don't want to let this big fish go. If he could be brought to the Lakers, perhaps he could achieve great achievements that were comparable to Jordan. His rookie season is much better than Jordan." Jenny Buss said.

Don't give up, that's certain.

In order to win the championship again, Jenny Bass is willing to bet on everything.

The NBA is undercurrent.

Almost all teams are testing whether the team has a chance to get Wang Fei.

Wang Fei's agent Alisa Prince's phone is about to explode.

The Eastern Conference Finals are still in full swing at this time.

The Raptors shocked the entire league.

Because, after losing to the Bucks in two consecutive games in the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals series, they actually beat the Bucks three consecutive games. Now, the Raptors are already leading the Bucks 3:2.

They got the match point in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Before the playoffs began, the favorites of the Eastern Conference team were actually the Bucks and the Sixers, and no one was optimistic about the Raptors.

But the Raptors were not favored by others and killed 76 people in seven battles.

Now, I am leading the Bucks again.

In both series, the Raptors lost first and then won.

This also fully demonstrates the improvement of strength and tenacity that Kawai Leonardo brings to the Raptors.

Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals returned to Toronto.

In the game, Leonardo performed well again, while the Bucks' Antetokounmpo was greatly restricted by great defensiveness.

In the end, the Raptors defeated the Bucks and won the Eastern Conference championship.

The Raptors were founded in 1995.

So far, their team history has been around for 24 years.

Unfortunately, they have never reached the finals.

This is the first time the Raptors have advanced to the finals.

After winning the Eastern Conference championship, the whole of Canada was in full swing.

Many Canadians believe that this year is the best time for the Raptors to win the championship.

"The Warriors were killed, and the Rockets entered the finals! And the Rockets are now only supported by that Chinese boy! The Chinese boy has played for a long time in many playoffs in the last few games, and his physical fitness has reached a limit! I think, maybe after entering the finals, he will have a physical crisis, and he will not be as strong as before! So, we will definitely win!"

"Kawaii is also invincible now! Kawaii is the most powerful defensive player. He can definitely defend the king. As long as the king is defended to death, the Rockets will have no hope of winning!"

"This is the best opportunity! We can definitely win! We are going to win the championship! The Warriors can't beat the Rockets, but it doesn't mean we can't! We have kawaii, and we are not afraid of that Chinese boy."

"Kill them! We can definitely make history this year!"

In short, Canadians are optimistic.

The media flocked to Toronto, hoping to interview Kawaii and want to hear his views on the finals.

However, Kawai kept silent.

Raptors general manager Poppy Webster was interviewed.

Webster said that the Rockets are a strong team, they have Harden and Chris Paul, and also have a super rookie superstar, and the Rockets deserve respect.

However, Webster said that the Raptors are not weak either. The Raptors have strong defense and steel-like will. The Raptors have an excellent player like Kawaii who has both offense and defense. Therefore, Webster does not think that they have no chance.

"We have a chance to win the championship! Moreover, I think we have a great chance. Although Wang played a phenomenal game in this playoffs, he lacked helpers, and Harden and Chris were in a relatively low state. In this case, as long as we can limit Wang, we will be strong contenders for the championship! We are worthy of the championship this year!" Webster said.

After the Eastern Conference Finals ends, the finals will soon start.

The Raptors set off to Houston.

That night, the first game of the finals will be played at the Toyota Center Arena.

After the Raptors were on the way, head coach Nas immediately held a pre-war mobilization meeting.

"Gentlemen, we are going to start the finals journey tonight. Our opponent is the Rockets. They are very strong. It is shocking that there is a Chinese boy in their team. That boy averaged almost 60 points in the playoffs and was nearly 4 doubles per game. This is a data height that no one has ever reached! So, if we want to talk about this game with the Rockets, we can't get around the king! If we want to win the championship, then we must find a way to limit the king!" Nas said.

Nass paused and glanced at all the players, and said, "How to defend the king is my tactical focus. I think we shouldn't consider distracting too much Kawaii and Leonard's energy. Yes, Kawaii is the strongest guy in our team. He has won the best defensive player. He once restricted LeBron and helped the Spurs win the championship. But Kawaii is now our strongest offensive point, and we need to rely on his strong offensive ability to win! So, we need to free Kawaii from the heavy defensive tasks. Therefore, I think the heavy responsibility of our defense king is to be borne by Danny. Danny, do you think you can complete the task?"

Danny Green, nicknamed "Iron Lin".

This is because Danny's three-point shooting once dropped seriously. In a certain game, he even made a shooting percentage of zero from N.

But why was Danny Green not given up like this?

This is because this person is also a defensive player.

Although his three-point shooting percentage occasionally declined, at the strongest time, he had a three-point shooting percentage of 43.6%.

Moreover, at his worst, his three-point shooting percentage was 33.8%!

Especially this year, Danny Green's shooting percentage in the Raptors is really not low. His regular season shooting percentage has reached 46%! His three-point shooting percentage is as high as 45%!

So, it is not an exaggeration to see Danny Green rejuvenate his second spring in the Raptors.

The three-pointer is accurate, and then the defense can keep up with any shooting guard. This is the performance of a top 3D player!

For this reason, Raptors head coach Nass attaches great importance to Danny Green.

In other words, Nass also set a record.

Nas was previously an assistant coach of the Raptors. His former head coach, Casey, can be regarded as a meritorious head coach of the Raptors. He coached for seven years and brought the Raptors into the playoffs in five years.

When Casey was coaching, there were actually no particularly big-name stars in the Raptors. Like Lowry, he could be considered to have grown up with the Raptors.

DeRozan is also a superstar trained by the team.

In short, Casey's coaching ability is quite strong.

When the Raptors fired Casey, Casey had just won the honor of Best Head Coach.

This is really an irony.

It is conceivable how much pressure he is under when Nas takes office as a new official.

Now, Nas has withstood the pressure and brought the Raptors into the finals. He has shown that his coaching ability is not weak.

However, this actually has a lot to do with luck.

The Raptors exchanged DeRozan and others for Leonard and Danny Green.

This has sublimated the strength of this team.

Nass has found a leak.

Danny Green heard Nas talk about himself, and he immediately smiled and said, "Nick, don't worry! I will teach that Chinese boy a lesson with defense."

Nas nodded and said, "Danny, don't think this task is very simple. It's not easy to defend the king. See what tricks the Warriors used to defend the king. They used Iguodala and Zhu Meng double-team king one after another. Even if they double-team, they couldn't limit the king. So, the king is really scary! I won't let you defend the king alone, and others will assist you in double-teaming defense against the king."

Danny Green put away his hippie smile and nodded seriously and said, "I admit that Wang is indeed very powerful! He is too strong and his shooting is also accurate. His speed is simply amazing. He is the fastest step I have ever seen. His fake moves have reached the point of being fake and real. The first step is very fast, and it is not easy to keep up with him! So, I will try my best to try to limit him!"

Leonard, who had not spoken, said, "I will assist Danny in defense. If the king keeps healthy and has no physical problems, I think the single defense of the king is definitely the worst way! We also need to double-team him."

"This is exactly what I think! Green is the main defense against the king, but we must adopt coordinated defense to interfere with him and limit him. When necessary, we should use firm foul measures to stop his attack." Nick Nass said.

The Raptors' meeting lasted for more than two hours.

In addition to talking about tactics, the edited game videos of the Rockets and the Warriors were also played, mainly to study and analyze the Warriors' defensive tactics against Wang Fei.

After watching these videos, Nas said: "The Warriors can be said that they have used all the defensive methods. They tried to use malicious fouls to kill the king, but the result was not effective. They tried to double-team the king with multiple players, but the king was too flexible and could always crack it. They also tried to create the king's fouls, but it didn't work. So, the king now looks really unsolvable. I think the Warriors' tactics of creating the king's fouls are worth learning. We can try to create the king's fouls from the beginning of the game. Maybe, this will drive the king out sooner. What do you think?"

Leonard said at this time: "I want to try it and see if I can defend Wang Fei alone!"

Leonard once ranked the best defensive player in the league in the 2014-15 season and 2015-16 season. He is one of the best defensive players in the league.

In fact, Leonard also started out with defense. When he first joined the Spurs, his scoring data was not outstanding. He was trained by Popovich as the backbone of defense.

However, Leonard later practiced shooting and gradually grew into a core player with both offense and defense, becoming a highlight of the post-GDP era.

I have to say that Leonard is still very competitive.

He considers himself the best player in the league, no one.
