Chapter 245: [Ten consecutive winning streak, new record]

Injury is an important factor affecting the team's winning percentage. The Raptors lost a lot in March, and it is not unrelated to the absence of Christie and Curry.
Especially Christie, he is the Raptors' best defender on the perimeter. He is responsible for the counterpoint scorer in each game. If he is, Eddie Jones will have a hard time shooting 32 points.
At this time, Yang Rui faced a choice. The team doctor suggested that Christido rest and return to the playoffs. It is also possible to return to play early, but there is a possibility of recurrence of pubic muscle injury.
After thinking about it, Yang Ruisi decided to let Christie continue to rest. The playoffs are the key. Numerous painful incidents such as Hardaway, Hill, and Barkley have shown that there is no good result with an injury.
The Knicks have also had bright examples recently.
Ewing originally had a problem with his knee. In order to compete for the first round home advantage, he increased his playing time. In the game against the Pistons on March 27, he sprained his knee in the backcourt and sprained his knee. Unfortunately, he was reimbursed for the season.
The picture of Ewing was edited by fans, accompanied by tragic music, played in slow motion.
Van Gundy had a broken egg expression on the sidelines, regretting it. His mood was like he was about to be made into a terracotta warrior, and he watched helplessly as his lover in red jumped into the flames. (Is Ewing Gong Gong in the Qin Terra-cotta?)
On April 2, the Raptors faced the Pacers at home.
This month, the Raptors' two-game Pacers, a game against the Heat, is a suspenseful game. The other games are easier. They have finished the strong teams in the west.
In the first quarter, the two sides were evenly matched. In the second quarter, the Pacers replaced power forward Sam Perkins. He made four three-pointers in a single quarter to help the team widen the point difference to 20 points.
At the beginning of the second half, Perkins made two three-pointers, 6 of 6 shots, the maximum difference between the two sides reached 25 points.
Veteran Perkins is 39 years old, the only highlight of the season, let the Raptors come across.
However, the Pacers were not happy for a long time. Yang Rui sent Boykins, McGrady, Carter, Jumaine Jones, and O'Neal to run away. Before the end of this quarter, the points difference was reduced to only 6 points.
Boykins became a key factor. He quickly attacked fast, played pick-and-roll in positional battles, and could break through the Pacers' defense inside. In order to prevent the pick-and-roll, center Schmidz played only 17 minutes.
In the last quarter, O'Neal and Carter took over the game. Carter broke through sharply and O'Neal played efficiently. The two scored 11 points and 10 points in a single quarter, leading the team to complete a major reversal 109 to 104.
This game greatly improved the team's morale, and then faced with the Eagles, Bulls, Cavaliers and other weak players, the Raptors easily won six straight.
Carter, McGrady, O’Neal Jr., Billups and Miller increased their playing time, playing for about 35 minutes. Both of them are in good condition, and the role players can play to win the game.
Ryan Bowen, who hasn't played much throughout the season, has also performed well, with both the anti-piston Grant Hill and the Hawks' Jim Jackson doing well.
On the 14th, the Raptors won the Pacers away.
Boykins scored a career high 25 points and 5 assists. The 224CM high center Schmidz became a defensive weakness. The Pacers point guard Mark Jackson made 0 of 6 shots and scored nothing, only 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
The 35-year-old veteran Jackson is not fast enough to prevent Boykins, and the shot is too poor. The singles singled out to the inside and the penalty area was blocked by the Raptors.
The Pacers were two aberrations, 77 to 102 defeated.
After the Raptors' 7-game winning streak, everyone believes that they will definitely break the record, leaving only the Heat a strong team to fight.
On the 16th, the Raptors took the bottom bull 106 to 84 lightly.
On the 18th, 103-97 away beat the Heat without Tim Hardaway, breaking the Bulls regular season record record one time in advance, fans worldwide were shocked.
On the 19th, the last back-to-back opponent was the Magic. The Magic, who had lost the hope of the playoffs, chose to give up, the main round of rest, and gave the Raptors a victory.
So, the Raptors ended the regular season with a wave of 10 straight wins, a record of 74 wins and 8 losses.
All sports media have reported home games.
"During the season, the Raptors broke the Bulls record!"
"This Raptors team is destined to be remembered by history. Their dunks, fast breaks, passes, and three-pointers all deeply attract fans. People expect the Raptors to continue to work wonders in the playoffs."
"Many people say that the Raptors play softly. The data shows that they lead the league with 478 dunks in a single season. They are the most capable dunk team in the league. The Raptors emphasize fast breaks. In addition to three points, the ball and air cut are also They have a special skill."
"The Raptors averaged 115.8 points per game, ranking first in the offensive power league, and Yang Rui achieved an offensive win."
The 2-8 in the east are the Heat, Pacers, 76ers, Hornets, Knicks, Pistons, Bucks.
The Pacers have 4 more wins than the Heat. They are helpless and the Raptors are in the central zone. They can only be ranked third according to the rules. The first game will be against the Knicks.
The Knicks only finished sixth in the Eastern Conference. Players' rotations caused them to lose their first-round home advantage.
The 9-15 are Celtics, Magic, Cavaliers, Nets, Wizards, Eagles, Bulls. The Bulls bottomed out for the second consecutive year, with only 17 wins.
In the Western Conference, the Lakers finally achieved 67 wins and 15 losses, ranking first.
2-8 are Jazz, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Sun, Timberwolves, Supersonics, King.
The Jazz trailed the Blazers by 4 games, and also ranked second because of the division champion. The Trail Blazers played poorly in the second half because of player injuries. They only won 59 wins. The first round must meet the Timberwolves challenge.
9-14 Mavericks, Nuggets, Rockets, Grizzlies, Warriors, Clippers.
The Rockets did not have Francis, and took the 11th place. History has changed.
In the first round of 1998, the 14th pick rookie swingman Michael Dickson stayed in the Rockets and played the entire season. He averaged 18.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. It seemed to succeed Olajuwon, the big dream. The trend of the Rockets boss.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, he was reimbursed after only one season of good game after transferring to Grizzlies. After two consecutive seasons, he was seriously injured. In the 02-03 season, he was premature because of a hamstring injury that was too serious to fully recover. Choose to retire.
Today, Tomjanovich has arranged tactics for him. He has outstanding physical fitness and can shoot suddenly. This season's three-point shooting rate is as high as ~EbookFREE.me~ The Grizzlies and Nuggets have improved from last season. The Clippers are as bad as they have always been, and after choosing Oravokandi and Odom, they are about to usher in the next high pick rookie.
All the regular season stats have been determined. O'Neal averaged 29.7 points per game and won the second scoring trophy of his career.
Hawks center Mutombo became the rebounding leader, averaging 14.1 per game.
Sun Jason Kidd won the assists, averaging 10.1 per game.
The Heat's Alonzo-Moning won the block leader, averaging 3.7 per game.
The steal king is Eddie Jones of the Hornets, averaging 2.7 times per game.
Experts predict that in the playoffs, the Raptors' opponents in the first round of the playoffs are not weak attackers, defensive. The second round will be against the 76ers and the Hornets. Although the two teams have won the Raptors once in the regular season, the overall strength is obviously inferior, and it is difficult to burst into the playoffs with 7 wins and 4 wins.
Not surprisingly, the Raptors have locked in the Eastern Conference finals!
