Although it is only a preseason game, the attention it has received is still unprecedented.

Let's put it this way, the reaction of major media and fans is like the scene when Jordan first came back with the Bulls.

And this is not included in China.

After the Nets' tour in China, the appetite of domestic fans has been completely lifted up and they can't wait to watch their debut.

Another thing that can reflect the attention of this game is that TNT directly sent the Big Three plus guest Reggie Miller to explain the preseason.

The scene was packed and crowded, and the media area on the sidelines was crowded.

If you didn't know in advance, you would think that what is about to be played here is a playoff or even a finals.

When the Nets players appeared on the scene, there were already cheers.

Durant looked excited when he saw the fans' reaction.

It is said that New York fans are not easy to serve, but the level of fanaticism in front of you is even more than that of the Oxford fans!

As James went to Cleveland, the popularity of the Knicks dropped a lot, and now most New York fans support the Nets...

Lin Ying pulled Durant and chatted for a few words.

In the preseason, Carl did not make too many requests for the two of them, basically letting them play according to their usual training methods.

As for the specific details, what tactics to play in which round, Carl let them decide for themselves.

In fact, Carl is not worried about the performance of the dual-core, and he is more concerned about other people, especially Jokic's performance.

He was as excited as Walkendean, but he also was under tremendous pressure. If he could not achieve a record in command of such a lineup, he would be criticized by thousands of people.

On the commentator's seat, the four people have already started warming up before the game.

"Shake, if you were Casey, how would you defend the Nets?"

Kenny Smith looked at O'Neal with a serious look on his face.

"I will continue to create physical confrontation for them, offense and defense, so that they can consume their physical fitness. We can't focus on a single round, you know there are 48 minutes of the game."

O'Neal also answered seriously.

"So when you played with the Lakers, they were defending you and Kobe?"

O'Neal nodded.

"Well, Charles, what would you do if it were you?"

"What?"

"If you were Casey, how would you defend the Nets?"

"No, I won't think about such a question. Shaq just mentioned his method, right?"

"Yes."

"So did they defend the Lakers in the end? Man, the Lakers won three consecutive championships!"

After Barkley said this, O'Neal couldn't help laughing.

After he entered TNT, the two kept fighting for the performance of the show.

But Barkley's praise made him feel like he had drunk honey. He immediately said after laughing:

"Okay, I take back what I said just now, that really won't work."

"Maybe they can take an offense against the attack. If the defense doesn't work, it's a good choice to devote more energy to the attack."

Miller, on the far left side of the commentator seat, spoke.

"You mean, are you going to compete with Lin and Durant for offensive firepower?

Reggie, I think Casey wouldn't be so stupid unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey!"

Miller smiled and didn't say anything. Lin Ying and Durant are both players who have the ability to score 40+ or ​​even 50+.

And more importantly, their technology is versatile and there is no area to target for offense, which is the biggest difference from the Knicks' Big Three.

If you count the time from modern basketball, there has never been such a combination.

"So Charles, what are your opinions?"

Kenny Smith turned the question to Barkley.

Since he has denied so much, Barkley must have his own set of theories.

“Enjoy the game.”

"What?"

Not only Smith, O'Neal and Miller also turned to look at Barkley.

"Faced with such an opponent, play your own characteristics and enjoy the game. The rest depends on the opponent's performance."

Smith was stunned for a moment before realizing what Barkley meant.

Isn’t this just lying flat!

So in the end, Barkley is now not going back on his breasts and is just blowing!

This is understandable. The reason for the anti-milk is that the strength of both sides is equal and some off-field factors are needed to create metaphysical power.

But if the strength itself is much stronger, then it is O'Neal's classic remark: My grandma can win the championship even if she leads the team!

There was no preseason appearance ceremony, and the lineups on both sides were soon released.

Raptors: Lowry, DeRozan, Carol, Scola, Valanciunas

Nets: Bradley, Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic

The two sides are exactly the same as ESPN’s previous predictions, and they all produce all the main forces.

This has a lot to do with the attention of the game. If so many people guard you and don’t play hard, you will definitely get criticized after the game.

Of course, excluding this factor, the Raptors have been strengthened this season and want to try their strength.

This can be seen from the pre-match camera, and both Lowry and DeRozan's eyes are full of desire.

They have been in the first round for two consecutive years, and this year they don’t want to be supporting roles anymore.

"Dou~"

A long whistle came from the sidelines, and the two teams appeared one after another.

Huge cheers from Nets fans were heard at the scene.

Here comes, finally here!

Jokic and Valanciunas jump ball in the middle circle.

The battle between the Serbs and the Lithuanians.

Then, I had fun at the beginning.

Because Jokic may be a little too nervous, the referee was doing a force jump as soon as he lifted the ball up.gif.

As a result, the continuous movements were like pushing a cart, which made the referee laugh.

During the tense game, this little fat man always seems to be able to find different fun for people.

The referee controlled his emotions and threw the ball, Valanciunas jumped for the Raptors to take the lead in offensive opportunity.

The Raptors advanced to the frontcourt and directly let Valanciunas sink into the blue bottom, then fed the ball in and hit it.

Valanciunas is the inside player trained by the Raptors himself and a rookie in 2011. After four years of development, he has taken shape and has just renewed a four-year, 64 million contract with the Raptors this summer.

He is different from Chandler's blue-collar worker, and he has strong low-level singles ability.

Casey is really not stupid. There are five people on the Nets on the court, and Jokic is indeed a breakthrough on the defensive end.

Jokic's low post defense last season was a disadvantage. He was bullied by Nene a bit miserably. Now facing Valanciunas, who is the bigger size, he...

The defense is actually pretty good!

"The result is not going to lie," Jokic's efforts this summer were well reflected in this defensive round.

Valanciunas's back did not achieve the expected effect, and his strength was not comparable to Nene. Finally, he chose to turn around and hook his hand towards the free throw line.

His skills are indeed delicate, but Jokic has already predicted his choice after withstanding his strong attack.

Although it was not covered due to the bounce, the ball was seriously disturbed by Jokic's long arm.

"when!"

The basketball popped up at the front of the basket, and Jokicka came out of the position to collect the defensive rebound.

Then, it's a long throw.

Bradley quickly attacked after receiving the ball. After seeing Lowry chasing over, he threw the ball into the sky.

Durant has followed up and jumped up and glided with one-handed dunk.

"Bang!"

The ball was smashed into the basket.
