Bosh Shines And Vince Preps For The Plun

As the Raptors fought their way to a 76-71 victory over the Washington
Wizards Wednesday night at Air Canada Centre, the big story was the
play of No. 4 overall pick, and the Raptor who wears No. 4 on his back,
Chris Bosh as he impressed all observers in his NBA debut.
But, leave it to Vince Carter to steal the spotlight.
Carter told reporters after the game that he has recently become
engaged to a long-time friend and soon-after girlfriend, he first met
on a trip to the University of North Carolina campus as a high-school
senior.
Not only that, but his connection to one-time Tar Heel teammate and
the man he was traded for on draft night in 1998, Antawn Jamison
continues. Ellen, the apple of Vince’s eye, is actually the sister
-in-law of Jamison.
Carter re-united with his sweetheart at Jamison’s wedding early this
summer. He proposed a few days ago and she accepted.
”Hey, when I’m hurting now, I have a chiropractor,” said the
blushing Carter.
She is a successful chiropractor with her own practice in South
Carolina.
As Carter tells it, he is marrying into a family full of doctors,
orthodontists and the like. Reporters joked with him, saying that
would make he and Jamison the “black sheep” of the family.
The wedding is set for July, so congratulations to Vince Carter,
but make no mistake, this was Bosh’s night. The Raptor rookie was
understandably nervous when he entered the game four minutes into
the first,but after a mean, two-handed dunk off an Alvin Williams pass
he settled in nicely and, despite a few rookie slips, established
himself as an integral part of the team throughout the game.
“The dunk gave me a chance to get the nerves out with a bit of authority,”
said Bosh. “At the start, I had a bit of nerves and I had to figure out
where I belonged on the court. By the end of he game,I was able to figure
that out.”
Bosh finished the game with 12 points and eight rebounds, but the big
highlight came four minutes into the fourth quarter.
The Wizards Juan Dixon picked up a Raptor turnover and bolted toward his
own basket with nothing but daylight between he and the goal.
Bosh quickly gained ground on him and swatted away the attempt hard with
the kind of block Raptor fans could undoubtedly get used to.
Kevin O’Neill was impressed, but not surprised by his rookie.
He played very well. He got a little tired in the fourth. He had a
breakaway and lost his footing and had a post-up and lost the ball so
he got a little tired,” said the coach. “But obviously he’s going to
be a good player. He can do some good things. I thought him and Moiso
both had big-time hustle play blocks which wins games for you sometimes
so I was happy with that.”
Lamond Murray made his first appearance in a Raptor uniform since a
freak foot injury in last year’s preseason opener kept him out of action
the entire season, but he looked none the worse for wear.
Murray finished with a team-high 14 points and was clearly the held the
most poise throughout the contest.
“I’m just trying to get my feel for the game back right now,” shrugged
Murray “That’s what preseason is for.”
After one, next to meaningless game in the preseason, the Raptors look to
be exactly as billed. Wednesday night they got after it on defence,
outscored the visitors in the paint by twelve and ran no fewer than 24
set plays on offence.
It really is a new season.
我替你續po吧
太棒了 旗開得勝耶 雖然只是熱身賽
不過Bosh真的很不錯喔 暴龍go~go~go
Carter的未婚妻不知道長的怎樣 真想看看啊
她應該也像Carter一樣也是個善良的大好人吧~~
