The Raptors won by 41 points! 17 minutes to cut 14 + 5 + 4, the Raptors rebuild also to correct the new cornerstone is too comprehensive
On October 16, Beijing time, the NBA preseason continued, and today the Raptors sat at home to welcome the challenge of the Cairns Snakes, and playing with teams from other leagues has always been a tradition of the NBA preseason, because it can promote the promotion of the NBA and attract more fans to the NBA. The Raptors have been in good form since the start of the preseason, having previously beaten the Western Conference powerhouse Kings by 13 points.
Game Review: The Raptors blossom more and lighten opponents
At the beginning of the first quarter, Anunoby and Barnes led the team to an 11-0 surge to establish the lead, and since then the Raptors have been holding a double-digit lead, and although the Taipan Snake's bench played a good competitive game in the second half of the first quarter, the Raptors bench also played well and the Raptors led by 21 points in the first quarter. In the second quarter, relying on the play of former NBA player Avery Payton, the team played a good offense, and the team scored 27 points in a single quarter, but the Raptors were more powerful, scoring 33 points in a single quarter, and the Raptors led by 27 points at halftime.
The third quarter suddenly changed, although after the Raptors started, Avery Payton led the Taipan Snakes to play a counterattack, he bombed 13 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, and the Taipan Snakes also scored 39 points in this quarter, and they narrowed the disadvantage to 21 points in the third quarter. Payton played only one minute in the fourth quarter and went off the court, which also left the Taipan Snakes without the backbone of the offense, and finally they lost to the Raptors 93-134, and the Raptors also won two straight after winning.
Taipan Snake scored doubles for 5 people
The Taipan Snakes are an Australian team, and their most points in the game were Patrick Miller, who shot 9 of 20 from the field for 22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. Sam Wadenburg scored 15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, substitute Ratmayne scored 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal, and Josh Roberts scored 11 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block
Avery Payton played 27 minutes on 10-of-19 shooting, 1-of-3 from three-point range scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, Payton was known for his all-round performance in the NBA, he had a number of consecutive triple-doubles, but because of limited shooting ability, he eventually had no place in the NBA, and the Pacers signed him in early October, but the performance did not meet the team's expectations, so the team cut him, and Payton also chose to join overseas teams.
The Raptors scored double-doubles with six players
The Raptors easily won the game by relying on a better team offense, Anunoby scored 10 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist on 3-of-6 shooting, Boucher scored 12 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals on 3-of-6 shooting, Siakam continued his all-round performance, shooting 5 of 7 from the field, 1 of 1 from three-point range and scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, substitute Flynn played 10 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Lippoti bombed 15 points and 3 rebounds.
The best performance of the Raptors in this game is Barnes, he shot 4 of 6 from the field, 2 of 3 from three-point range scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, Barnes Although this season is only the third year of his career, but he is very mature and able to make the right choice in the offense, although the template is Dream Green, but he has the ability to pursue the ball offensive ability that Dream does not have, and the young man's self-confidence is very good.
Because of his outstanding talent, he beat the Cavaliers scout Mobley in his rookie season and won the best rookie, you must know that 21 years was originally called a draft year, Barnes was selected by the Raptors with the No. 4 pick without being favored, and he lived up to the team's expectations. Now the Raptors also intend to use him as the cornerstone of the team, in fact, the team had such an idea last season, but it has not been able to complete.
Last season's trade deadline The Raptors planned to send away Anunoby, Sika, Van Jordan and Trent, but because the Raptors' asking price was too high, they were not traded away, and this offseason in order to let Barnes get more ball, they didn't even discuss with Van Jordan about a big contract extension, an All-Star was just let go, in addition, the team also thought about releasing Sika, but Sika said that he would join other teams and would not renew his contract with them.
This also made it more difficult for Sika to be traded, so he also failed to shake off, and had no choice but to let them stay in the team and wait until the start of the new season to try to send them away. Barnes also failed to get the absolute ball in such a situation, but talent is still good, and he has proved how good he is so far in the preseason, before the preseason against the Kings he shot 5 of 9, scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, you know that he played only 17 minutes against the Taipan Snake and the Kings to score such statistics, very good.
Judging by his preseason performance, Barnes has played more confidently and has a stronger impact, and he has a chance to impact the All-Star in the new season. Comprehensive, high ball intelligence, such potential, no wonder the Raptors have to help him up, it is indeed too good. Having said that, what do you have to say about Barnes?
