Chapter 498: The Raptors are better than losing!


Anthony left after saying this, leaving only James standing innocently and sighing for a long time. Anthony is a special presence for James, a bishop, former Celtics Big Three, Curry Xie Chen is also an important opponent, of course, for Anthony.
James and Anthony have known each other for so many years. He has never heard Anthony say this to him. Anthony has never been good at revealing, but today, Anthony has all the words hidden in the bottom of his heart.
How could James not understand Anthony's pain and struggle? In fact, James has been paying attention to the situation of Anthony in the finals in the past few years. When Anthony scored 62 points at Madison Square Garden, James was the first to know and was more excited than everyone. Yes, even Anthony came to New York, it was the suggestion of Zhan+pig+pig+island+novel ww.zhom.
James sighed: "Five years ago, I told him that only the New York Knicks would have a chance to beat us. I didn't expect this day to really come. Cameron, I also want you to reach the finals. It's a pity. , I’m very sorry that you have Crisser in your team. I will definitely beat you!"
...
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Knicks have only two games left this month, one is the away Pelicans, the other is to play the Mavericks at home, the Pelicans have no hope of advancing to the playoffs at all, but Brother Davis Still playing very energetic, the same is true for everyone else, plus Xie Chen did not want to win this game, so the score has always been controlled by the opponent.
Afterwards, Xie Chen rebounded in double figures and encountered the legendary Pelicans, the former Hornets, and the older generation of "Beard" and "Bee Queen" Byron Davis during the Hornets. Davis can also average 23+7+5 per game, and was also a first-rate point guard at the time, even if he got it now. It is often said that the magic is the center of the center, so at this point, the pelican (wasp) has become a western point guard base, to cultivate a mustache for the warriors. Raise Chris Paul for the Clippers.
Xie Chen likes the duel with Byron Davis, because this guy has a street fan, the feeling of the match is that now Owen Curry can't bring Xie Chen.
In this game, the Knicks lost to the Pelicans, followed by the Mavericks, and continued to rank eighth in the east.
In an instant, it was April, this month. After 14 days, the regular season will end, and the playoffs will start immediately.
After waiting for a full year of the playoffs, it is finally time!
Each team is doing their best to improve the record. The first Golden State Warriors in the West has still lost 8 games. They still have the opportunity to challenge the Chicago Bulls’ best record of 72 wins and 10 losses. Don't lose this month, or just lose one. There is no doubt that another great team was born!
And the first in the east. But in April, from knight to raptor!
This was not expected by anyone in advance. The throne of the Eastern Conference will change hands at the last moment? The Cavaliers will suddenly lose six straight games?
The Toronto Raptors have become the No. 1 in the East, which makes them proud. The team members are very excited. Speaking of them, they have played really well this time. Whether they meet a strong team or a weak team, they can win perfectly. This is the stage when they are confident.
DeRozan said happily: "We are the best team in the East. Guys, Kyle Lowry has played very well in recent games. This is completely the performance of the league's first point guard! Brother, you should definitely Ranked in the top three of the MVP list, Xie that guy is standing on your head? They are eighth in the east, but we are the first in the east!"
Kyle Lowry waved his hand, but in his heart, he was not proud of this compliment. This is the first in the east. How enviable is this position to look up! How can Kyle Lowry not be proud as the main point guard and as the team leader?
Lori smiled and said: "We will be in the history of the Raptors this season, we are unstoppable this season, let us continue until the end of the season!"
Raptors black coach Casey, at this time did not blindly immersed in the joy of getting the first in the East, he frowned, and after everyone else left the arena, left Lori and DeRozan alone .
"Coach, is there something wrong?" Kyle Lowry saw the coach's abnormal performance. Although this coach has never smiled very much, it is obviously more powerful than usual today.
Coach Casey said seriously: "Yes, there is one thing that I really want to tell you. Now we have become the first in the East. This is a very remarkable result. Before the season, no one would expect our Raptors will. Becoming No. 1 in the East is a manifestation of our strength. I have no objection to this. It’s just that the playoffs are coming soon. If we continue to stay in No. 1 in the East, have you ever thought about us? Who will you meet in the first round?"
The first in the East is of course the eighth in the weakest East, but after Cayce's reminder, Kyle Lowry and DeRozan suddenly awakened: "The New York Knicks are now ranked eighth in the East!"
This is not the weakest playoff team in the East! It's not an exaggeration to say they are the strongest!
DeRozan was shocked: "Coach, are you worried that we will meet them in the first round? The combination of Xie and Anthony is indeed terrible, and if Xie was not suspended for so long, the record has already gone to the top three in the east. . But they have been hovering in the seventh and eighth positions. According to their recent win rate, they should be ranked seventh instead of eighth at the end of the season."
Casey said: "Rank to seventh? Then go to the James Cavaliers in the first round? Do you think Xie and Anthony are so stupid?"
Kyle Lowry also panicked: "The coach is right, Xie Xie's wit is estimated to watch the situation deliberately. If the Cavaliers return to the first in the East, then they will rise to seventh, if the Cavaliers fall to the East. Second, they will keep the eighth, anyway, their first round goal is us!"
DeRozan is almost crying, won't the Knicks really want to hit them in the first round deliberately? Crowley made a very reasonable analysis. Instead, he would choose this way to avoid the Cavaliers.
"Damn it, it was easy to play such a good season, and if it was eliminated in the first round. Then..." DeRozan said involuntarily.
Coach Casey said: "This is what I am worried about."
The three were silent for a long time, and the two were no longer able to laugh in excitement. Afterwards, Kyle Lowry looked up and asked the coach: "Don't you think we have a chance of winning against the Knicks?"
Casey sighed: "Although you shouldn't say that as a team coach, but... if the opponent is a Celtics. I have seven or eight points to win, if it is the New York Knicks... less than 50%."
Casey said this conservatively. You should know that although the Knicks have a poor record this season, they have won the top teams such as the Cavaliers, Warriors, Clippers and Spurs in the regular season. Their absolute strength cannot be underestimated, especially Xie. Chen's strength is unfathomable. Casey didn't know if Xie Chen would break out again in the playoffs. He had no way to deal with the yellow man.
Lowry shook his head. Said: "Coaching your worries is very necessary. In this case, there is only one way."
Both the coach and DeRozan looked at Lowry.
Lowry said: "In the last six games, the Knicks won one, we won one, the Knicks lost one, we lost one!"
The Knicks had just lost two straight games, then. The Raptors' next task is to lose. Trying to make the team fall to the second place in the East, not to meet the Knicks.
Then, a third team deliberately lost in the Eastern Conference.
Xie Chen couldn't think of an idea that led to such a change in the East. The Knicks lost to avoid the Bulls and Heat, while the Cavaliers and Raptors lost to avoid the Knicks if the fans knew the truth. That would be fun.
Coincidentally, the next game for the Raptors is to play the Cavaliers at home, which is even more fun, because both teams want to lose!
Lowry only guessed that Xie Chen would avoid the knights to fight them, but he did not guess that the internal changes in the knights were caused by Xie Chen. So I don’t know that the Cavaliers have also deliberately lost recently, and the Cavaliers obviously didn’t realize that the Raptors also had to lose to avoid the Knicks.
The Raptors at home, the strong showdown between the East First and East Second, attracted many Toronto fans to watch, people thought it must be a very good match, the two teams will definitely fight for the East The first fight was very intense, but I never expected it.
"What the are these guys? All of them have played a quarter, the score is so little, and their shooting rate can hardly be seen. Is this really a contest between the first team in the East and the second team in the East? Better than the Lakers and 76ers!"
"Oh, I know that watching football at this time is the most worthless, and the playoffs will be less than a month away. If it is in the seventh and eighth contests, it will definitely be wonderful, and the fight will be great, but the first and the Second, they don’t worry about the playoff tickets, why are they so desperate?"
Both sides of the game played without any passion, so the fans were unhappy.
Kyle Lowry has played well in these games. Only in poor condition today, James made a three-point shot. James took a look at Lowry and let him make a three-pointer. Lowry actually shot a three-pointer.
This surprised James. James, who has always had a normal relationship with Lowry, also began to care about each other: "Man, I don't think you are in a good state today."
Lowry deliberately pretended to be depressed: "Yeah, this ball can't always be scored. In fact, I have a headache from getting up in the morning. If the opponent is not you, I may not play. Now."
"This is it." James smiled.
James thought Lowry was really in poor health, but in the second quarter, Lowry gave up an obvious opportunity to score himself, and had to pass the ball back to his teammates, plus DeRozan tonight Playing a virtue with Lowry, the clever James understood what happened to the Raptors.
"It seems they have realized that if they win again, the first round is against the Knicks." James secretly said.
As strong as the Cavaliers are not willing to meet the Knicks in the first round, let alone the Raptors that have been in the first round of games in recent years. The Cavaliers deliberately lost the game and gave the East the first throne to the Raptors. The Raptors did not yet Sit and come back.
Sorry, I will never give you something back. When James saw that DeRozan and Lowry deliberately hit the iron, he wasn't welcome anymore, and Dangdang also brushed three irons.
When Lori saw it, he thought that James was really in a bad state, and he stepped forward to condole: "LeBron, you are in a bad state tonight."
James touched his head: "Yeah, I have a headache."
"Uh..." Lowry felt his head really hurt after listening.
This is how to do? James has been so irony, how should the Raptors lose?
...
On this day, the Knicks did not play. When the Cavaliers and the Raptors were in a "fighting battle", Xie Chen was at home with Katie. He did not expect that his teammate Ci Shiping suddenly visited, and he happily let Xie Chen watch the Cavaliers and Raptors game.
At this time, Lowry happened to pass a pass on the Cavaliers, and Ci Shiping smiled forward and back.
On the court, James was also angry: "This little can pass such a bad pass. Young people can't play, and they don't pay attention to the way they lose."
Then, James ignored it. After getting a defensive rebound, I saw that Owen had passed halftime, a long throw, Owen struggled to pursue, but still no result, because James threw the ball directly out of bounds.
"Hahaha...hahaha~EbookFREE.me~ These two teams laughed at me." Ci Shiping laughed harder. He said to Xie Chen: "Did you find these two teams? They didn’t play seriously, they all wanted to lose intentionally! Do you know why?"
"Oh?" Xie Chen also saw the Raptors' intention to lose. Obviously, he didn't want to run into the Knicks. This was Xie Chen's expected situation, but he wanted to hear what Ci Shiping said.
"I don't know." Xie Chen shook his head.
Ci Shiping suddenly had a proud face: "Obviously, they realized who the Eastern Conference will encounter us in the first round. You also know that LeBron and DeRozan are very afraid of me. I will be a beast in the playoffs! They can understand us if they want to avoid us."
"Uh... this is the case." Xie Chen didn't know that Ci Shiping's narcissism was serious again, but Ci Shiping's arrival also gave Xie Chen a lot of joy, because this ball game was so interesting.
Kyle Lowry kept fouling for losing, especially when the opponent was going to make a three-pointer, the absolute thug sent the opponent three penalties. James saw Lowry play like this, and he was neat and put Carol down. On the ground, I was sent off and stopped playing! (To be continued.)
