My Name is Kobe Bryant

"Going abroad again, you said that we are obviously an American professional basketball league, why are there two teams in Canada?"

"Is Canada actually part of the United States?"

"North America~ Canada should be the back garden of the United States. This is recognized by the upper class."

"I don't like the Yankees. It's too stupid to set up a team here. Is there any chance for a team here? Give them a Jordan, and they can't win a championship."

"That's right, how can Toronto compete for the championship."

"Do you think there will be other foreign teams in the future? The journey to Toronto is uncomfortable enough. If you fly to Asia, you may feel dizzy."

"There will be an Asian game, but there should be no Asian teams."

On the flight from Los Angeles to Toronto, the Lakers players talked a lot. In the past few days, the continuous away games, flying from Minneapolis to Denver, flying back to Los Angeles, and then flying to Toronto again, the continuous itinerary is not comfortable. It is difficult for you to get a good rest on the plane.

The Raptors are located in Toronto, Canada, and are one of two NBA teams in Canada, the other being the Vancouver Grizzlies.

The history of the Raptors is very short, as an emerging team that joined the NBA in the 1995-1996 season. The flying mouse Damon Stoudemire is their current leader. This 1.78-meter-tall point guard has exaggerated speed and excellent shooting ability. In his rookie season, he averaged 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.8 turnovers per game.

It couldn't be more correct to use the No. 7 pick to draft Little Momonga. This draft was pretty much the best one at the time. Although Momonga is not tall, his other talents more than make up for it.

During his rookie period, on November 21, 1995, in the Raptors 102:97 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics, Flying Squirrel scored 20 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, and achieved the first triple-double of his career. The first triple-double in Dragons history. After that, he won the MVP in the 1996 All-Star Rookie Game. At the end of the season, Flying Squirrel was selected to the All-Rookie Team and became the Rookie of the Year.

This season is a further step, scoring more than 20 points. Averaged 20.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game. With a 35.5% three-point shooting rate, he can average 2.2 three-pointers per game.

It can be said that Flying Squirrel is currently a young rookie with a bright future. Many people are optimistic about his future. The media predicts that Flying Squirrel will eventually grow into an All-Star guard. He might even grow into the next Smiling Assassin, because his character is Isaiah Thomas!

I have to say that Isaiah Thomas is in the management, although there are no outstanding results. A lot of excellent players have been discovered, such as McGrady, Carter, and Billups are all brought out by the smiling assassins in the Raptors in the past few years. Maybe he is actually more suitable to be a scout.

The second is this year's No. 2 pick, Marcus Camby.

After you have a top guard on your team, how do you keep building?

Pick the big guy!

And Camby, is the perfect candidate. He has all the physical qualities necessary for a top center. Flexible footwork, exaggerated jumping, excellent height and wingspan, and excellent sense of blocking shots.

For Smiling Assassin's growth goals, the upper limit is the big dream Olajuwon, and the lower limit is Uncle Mu. His performance in his rookie year also confirmed that he has this potential.

Averaged 14.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 blocks per game. Almighty offensive and defensive, because the body is not hung, the protection of the rebound makes people feel a little weak, the assassin thinks that in two years, Camby will be the next legendary center, and the second pick has such a legendary center, it is bloody money!

If the Smiling Assassin knew that he had given up several Hall of Fame-level players for the sake of Camby, I wonder if he would regret it.

The players in other positions of the Raptors are also relatively young potential shows.

The shooting guard is Doug Christie. His peak was after he went to the Sacramento Kings and served as the king's starting shooting guard, with Bibby as the backcourt.

During his 5-year career with the Kings, he achieved 1 first-team best defensive team and 3 second-team best defensive teams. His perimeter defense is the umbrella of the Kings Princeton system. It can be said that the gorgeous Kings cannot do without his defense. He was the most reliable perimeter defender on that Kings team.

Doug Christie was the No. 17 pick in 1992. In fact, he spent the first two years of his career with the Lakers. He played both as a starter and as a substitute. Due to consecutive injuries, the Lakers finally gave up on him. In the past two years, he wandered from the Knicks to the Raptors, and finally learned to maintain his health in the fierce confrontation of the NBA, and also played the best offensive and defensive performance of his career.

This season, he averaged 14.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. He has a 43.4% three-point shooting rate and can average 1.8 three-pointers per game. He is a top 3D player. West once asked for him, but the smiling assassin offered Eddie Jones, Jerry Jester immediately hung up the phone.

Hehe, you want to change Eddie Jones for a top 3D? The third player who perfectly matches Kobe O'Neal? It's ridiculous.

The third position of the Raptors is Walter Williams, a standard American small forward of 2.03 meters and 99 kilograms. The No. 7 pick in 1992, he averaged 17.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in his rookie season. This season, he averaged 16.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. He averaged 2.4 of 6 three-pointers per game. , and has an excellent three-pointer, and is an all-around small forward.

Power forward Puopeye Jones, who averaged 11.3 points and 10.8 rebounds per game last season, has declined slightly this season. Is a small blue-collar power forward.

It can be seen that the average age of the lineup built by the Smiling Assassins is very low. With many potential new stars, the growth rate in the future will be very large. The players picked by the Smiling Assassin, three-pointers and physical talent are his main focus. The 123rd position has a very good three-pointer, which is in line with the direction of basketball development. If you can get one or two more stars and replace it with an excellent coach, it is very possible to soar into the sky.

This is also the reason why he has the confidence to speak harshly to the magician. The current record of the Raptors is not excellent, 19 wins and 31 losses, but the team has quite good strength.

The current policy is to play poorly and train players, but when they meet some strong teams this season, the Raptors can still bite a few pieces of meat when they get tough.

The Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, and Portland Trail Blazers played three Western Conference playoff-level teams before the All-Stars, which proved their strength.

It is precisely because of these victories that Isaiah Thomas has the confidence to compete with the Lakers, even if he can't win! Let Kobe be blown up too!

My Smiling Assassin can even blow up a young Jordan, but can't he kill a little Kobe?
