Chapter 288: [What's wrong, amuse me? 】

On December 17, the Raptors faced the Los Angeles Lakers at home.
Billups carried the offensive flag, and Kobe scored 31 points and 6 assists.
Without Christie, McGrady, Carter, the Raptors swing position is weak, Kobe Bryant faced the defense of Haplin, Reed, the game made 14 of 29 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 11 of 11 free throws, scored 40 points 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
O'Neal made 12 of 17 shots and 4 of 11 free throws, scoring 28 points and 8 rebounds.
However, the Raptors still stubbornly won the game 111 to 104, the team's six people scored double figures.
O'Neal Jr. had 14 points and 10 rebounds. Rookie Mark Crickson scored 12 points and 18 baskets. The Raptors finished the Lakers in rebounds.
In addition to the "ok combination", the Lakers only one person scored in double figures, Rick Fox scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Isaiah Leder, who had high hopes for the summer, played only 10 minutes, made 0 of 4 shots, scored no points, and got 2 rebounds and 1 assist.
Leder's depraved speed was collapsed, from a star of 19.3 points to a substitute of 7.6 points per game. The only thing commendable was the 37% three-point shooting rate, but he only averaged 0.5 three-pointers per game. .
After this game, the Lakers record 16 wins and 10 losses, worse than the Raptors, behind the Spurs, Kings, Mavericks in the west, only ranked fourth.
After the game, media broke the news that "ok combination" broke out in the locker room, O'Neill accused Kobe of being too independent.
Last season the Lakers swept the finals, O'Neal did not get the regular season mvp, except for a scoring champion. As he grew older, he began to pay attention to personal honor. In the new season, receiving the ball is a mad attack on the basket. Wanting to make the data more beautiful, this season compete for mvp.
Kobe is anxious to prove that he is a superstar with Carter, and also began to compete for the ball. At the start, he averaged 22 shots per game, a career high, 0.5 times more than O'Neal.
The two accounted for more than half of the Lakers' shots. How can teammates still get the ball? Leder averaged only 7 shots per game, and the data drop was justified.
Coach Phil Jackson hopes that Kobe can play like last season, with less than 18 shots or less, to ensure efficiency, but Kobe's desire to attack is clearly beyond his control. He had been O'Neill for four years, and he was about to explode.
The two teams that the league predicted before the game had problems.
Of course, Yang Rui will not despise the Lakers. During his three consecutive Lakers championships, in addition to the 2000 season, O'Neal took mvp. In the other two years, the Lakers played badly in the regular season. The super lineup only achieved 56 wins and 58 wins.
The Lakers broke out as soon as they entered the playoffs. They would naturally unite for the championship and play in a more reasonable way. In the 01 playoffs, he only lost one game. 02 also swept the Nets in the finals.
On the 19th, the Raptors defeated the Jazz 103 to 95 at home.
Haplin became the highlight of the team, starting with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, blasting veteran Brian Russell, who only had 2 points and 3 rebounds.
Reed faced the veteran John Starks who joined the Jazz in the summer, and also had the upper hand, scoring 17 points.
After defeating the Pacers again on the 20th, Vince Carter made a comeback at home and the Raptors beat the Hawks 92 to 78 back to back.
In the Christmas War, the Raptors defeated the Bulls 103 to 93 at home.
McGrady returned to Toronto, the fans did not boo him, he also received his championship ring before the game. The game was very exciting, and both teams had many wonderful dunks.
The fans were happy for less than a day. The Raptors played against the Timberwolves back to back. Although they won the game 107 to 100, Billups suffered a right foot injury in the first quarter.
After the game, he was diagnosed with a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot, with the scientific name "Jones Fracture". This kind of injury is quite common in the sports world. In the past life of Yang Rui, in April 2006, Yao Ming encountered this kind of injury in the game against the Jazz. In addition, brothers such as Jordan, Gasol, Durant, Bibby, Brand and Lopez have suffered similar injuries. There are also many factors that cause this injury, such as kicking your foot, being stepped on by someone else or kicking something.
Billups was in physical contact with Trier Brandon when he broke through, and he lowered his foot. As a result, the doctor checked out to perform the operation and he would be absent for 4-6 months.
Billups was crazy at the time. "I just touched it lightly. You said I have to rest for 4 months to tease me?"
"This is no joke. Four months is the most ideal situation. This injury must be operated on, and there is no way to treat it conservatively." The team doctor sighed. This is very bad news.
Yang Rui felt big head, he had heard of this injury, Durant rested for half a season for this, even worse was the 76ers champion-Simmons, directly reimbursed in the 16-17 season, did not have a regular season hit.
Without Brad Miller, there are three big men inside the bench to replace. Without Billups, Boykins and John Croti are left on the team. Both have problems in defense. Curry's guest point guard is tall enough, and the ball is poor. Not to mention letting him organize, it is difficult to drive the ball through the half.
Yang Rui was very careful when using Reed and Haplin, worried about their injury, but forgot that Billups was also a glass man early in his career. He had reimbursed his career for both seasons of the Nuggets and only started when he went to the Timberwolves. Gradually getting better.
On the 28th, Brad Miller made a comeback, and the Raptors relied on insiders to play Princeton, defeating the Nuggets and winning a seven-game winning streak.
On the 30th, the Raptors lost to the Suns 103 to 109.
The last time the two teams confronted each other, Billups did not lose Kidd, playing very reasonable, height and weight are not afraid of misplacement after the pick and roll. This time let Boykins start and was bullied by Kidd.
The Suns' non-draft entry into the NBA, 193cm tall, 95 kg backup guard Paul McFernson also showed off against Curry, scoring a career-high 20 points.
Entering January, the Raptors can still win the game with Carter, O'Neal, Miller, Reed's triangle offense, but there is a clear weakness in the 1st position.
In order to ensure the attacking power of the bench, Yang Rui started to start John Croti. He drew the ball after halftime and pulled away from the three-point line to wait for the ball to get out of the phone. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Croti has poor defense, good long-range shooting ability, and has enough game experience.
The Raptors only lost three games this month, 34 wins and 12 losses. The 76ers ranked second after 34 wins and 11 losses. They ranked second in the East at the end of the month. Offensive defeated the 76ers.
At the beginning of February, Carter was elected the best player of the month in the East by virtue of his steady performance in January.
The team's record began to improve, but Yang Rui was not happy at all. He didn't actually put the 76ers and Bucks in mind. There was only one opponent in his mind, that is the Lakers.
He is well aware that due to Billups reimbursement for the season, the current depth of the lineup against the Super Lakers is definitely more fierce. Billups is right for the Lakers, and now his strengths become weaker.
Yang Rui approached Glenn Gruward during the holiday and discussed the mid-term deal. Without trying to send the core, he tried to change to a defensive point guard.
Unfortunately, this is difficult. The other teams are not stupid, and the management is also competing with each other. Everyone knows that the Raptors lack guards. Unless the big bleeding and the potential young players are sent, they will not let the Raptors do what they want.
