As the saying goes, "Winning is not scary, but whoever is missing will be embarrassed!"

Damon Stoudemire was very embarrassed. Looking at Hanamichi and Doug Christie who cooperated very well in the team training game, this [flying mouse] exuded a resentful atmosphere.

"You used to call me an old friend, but now the newcomers are better than the old ones, and you don't even look at me!"

"You really forgot about me, the [flying mouse], now that you have a [scalpel]!"

Big Stoudemire only wished he could play as soon as possible, so he quickly asked the team doctor to give his leg muscles another rehabilitation massage, feeling pain and happiness.

It was not until November 27, when the Raptors played against the Hornets, that Big Stoudemire returned and scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, venting his energy during this period.

In that game, Doug Christie returned to his mediocre defensive pioneer status of averaging 15 points per game!

No, now he is the team's No. 3 offensive player who can contribute 16 points per game, but this player's offensive desire is really not very strong! This also made the head coach of the Raptors, Landon Malone, both happy and sad.

Coach "Old Deng" has also thought about separating Das and Doug Christie, letting Doug Christie serve as the team's best sixth man and lead the second team to score points.

But after several attempts, he has steadily contributed about 16 points per game, very stable and very comfortable, but always lacks a little aggressiveness or passion for active offense.

Take the game against the Hornets, [Scalpel] started the game and only took 9 shots in total, but he made 7 assists!

Das: "What's the matter? Don't rush to score points, start to rush to assists!"

But if Doug Christie is put in the bench lineup, it will not be able to fully play the important role of defending the core trump card of the enemy team's outside line!

In the end, Coach "Old Deng" decided to put Doug Christie in the starting lineup to strengthen the team's defense.

After all, defense is the key to winning the championship!

As for leading the second team to score points, let's discuss it together!

After all, you don't want the media to say that you are the "fastest and shortest", right~Christie!

So, the Raptors, who have solved the lineup problem, took big steps and started their winning streak to the entire league!

After the Raptors defeated the Hornets 92:8 at home on November 27, the last game in November was an away game against the Timberwolves.

A high school draft player who was in the same class as Hanamichi and Das and had a higher draft pick than the former two, the Minnesota Cub in the north gradually realized his potential after the tempering of last season.

In his rookie season, KG played a total of 80 regular season games, including 43 games as a starter, averaging 28.7 minutes per game, averaging 10.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 blocks per game. And he successfully entered the second team of the best rookie.

KG's biggest problem in his rookie season was his lack of physical confrontation ability. With a height of 210+cm and a weight of just over 90kg, KG was just a stick for most of the inside players in the league.

But Hanamichi knew that KG, who was slightly suppressed by "Old Deng" at the power forward position, would not struggle for too long. This season, he would gradually show his unique and extremely comprehensive court style.

Of course, his ability to swear will also be almost invincible this season along with his [Iron Blood Jump Shot].

During the appearance ceremony, Hanamichi saw KG doing a series of naughty combos, which attracted cheers from the fans on the scene.

He beat his chest and roared, jumping up and down, without any "fighting and retreating" fighting style!

Still so... iron blood!

But when he saw Hanamichi standing in the middle circle with a smile waiting for his jump ball, KG's face fell!

Last year, KG was 18 years old, and he came to the NBA with nothing but a gun and two balls. He was squeezed out by the red-haired guy in front of him and became the "shortest"! And the short guy, don't think I can't see you just because you're standing behind!

This time is different. Our good brother "Stephen Marbury" is here, and he must teach you a lesson!

KG and Marbury looked at each other:

KG: "Brother, I do the big things, and you do the small things!"

Marbury: "Brother, you do yours, and I do mine!"

If you don't know, you might think it's the Timberwolves who started with 13 consecutive wins!

There's no 13 at all.

...

Starting players of the two teams:

Raptors: Hanamichi, Charles Oakley, Damon Stoudemire, Doug Christie, Walter Williams;

Timberwolves: KG, Stephen Marbury, Tom Gugliotta, Doug West, Stojako-Frankovich.

Hanamichi overpowered KG and pushed the ball back to his own half, and the Raptors took the lead in attacking.

Das was not impatient in the face of the "rookie" Marbury, who also had a low chassis, but controlled the ball and slowly advanced, passing the half court, and waited for his own players to get into position before starting to break through with the ball.

"Let's see what kind of rookie you are first!"

Das suddenly started the engine, and with a chassis of 178cm, most defensive players would be thrown off by this move.

But now, Stephen Marbury, who has not yet become a [lone wolf], is also a fast and low-chassis basketball player. He quickly lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands across Das, and squeezed his breakthrough route.

On the other side, KG had already been eager to come over to assist.

Not only Das, to be honest, even Hanamichi was shocked by KG's sudden lateral movement speed.

Fortunately, Das had experienced a season of games and had long passed the rookie period. Facing the situation of being double-teamed, he quickly threw away the hot potato in his hand.

Das passed the ball very quickly, and after passing the ball, he quickly turned his back and retreated to the three-point line.

As for whether the ball was accurate, it has nothing to do with me [Little Flying Squirrel]!

Because Hanamichi took an extra step forward to reach out and catch the ball, when he finished catching the ball, he faced KG who had returned to defense in time and spit out saliva.

"Hey, red-haired, I guess you will definitely choose a soft jump shot to end this round, right?"

"You shot so soft at the beginning, even softer than my second brother!"

"You said so, red-haired softie?"

Huamichi stared at the thin tall man who kept spewing shit in front of him, and retorted unyieldingly:

"Does your mother know that your tongue is more flexible than your movement speed?"

With just one sentence, the chattering "fly" in front of him was confused!

Huamichi said: This is just the beginning? I just took my biological mother as the center of the circle, and you can't accept it. Then I will use the family tree as the radius to talk trash and insult, KG, you will suffer the consequences!

"Do you really think that I only learned defense from Oakley during the holiday? Young!"
