NBA: This flower path is a bit strong

The Raptors' opening victory is a big news in the league, after all, they defeated the team that participated in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

Although it was just the remnant team of the Eastern Conference Finals last season, didn't you see the great [Big Sewer], the [Big Shark] far away in Los Angeles constantly emphasized the importance of his former New York Knicks team in the interview with the media!

ESPN also adjusted the odds of the Raptors winning the championship this season in time, ranking them 7th.

Ahead are the Bulls, Jazz, Supersonics, Pacers, Mosaic and Lakers.

"It seems that although we slaughtered the Knicks, who were ranked 8th on the list, by 30 points, the media still didn't take us seriously, and just used the 7th place to prevaricate!"

Hanamichi read the newspaper, and Ben Ben, who was standing next to him, came over with his afro.

The head coach of the Raptors, the newly promoted Landon Malone, said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. The later they pay attention to us Raptors, the longer we have to prepare!"

Looking at his own old Deng's expression of "sneak into the village, don't shoot", Hua Dao said that he was right!

"Making a fortune in silence is the best for us!"

With this mentality, on November 2 and November 5, the Raptors defeated the Hornets and Mavericks 109:98 and 100:96 away and at home respectively.

The media said that this is normal!

The Hornets and Mavericks, let alone the Raptors, I'm afraid even the Knicks can bully them, not to mention the latter, the Raptors only won by 4 points!

And on November 8, the Raptors played against the Lakers at home, and they also won by 1 point with 93:92.

"If you say the Raptors are a playoff team, I believe it!"

"But the chances of the Raptors winning the championship are really not as good as the previous teams, especially the Chicago Bulls!"

The ESPN commentator said so. One of the reasons that gave him such courage was that the best player of the week in the first week of the league was not Hanamichi.

But Michael Jordan, who averaged 32.5 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game!

(NBA's best player of the week was divided into the East and West in 2001. Before that, the league only had one player per week)

It is impossible to say that Hanamichi was not affected. After all, they won 4 consecutive games this week, and he averaged 27.5 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.

But the first place in the East is still the Chicago Bulls who won 5 consecutive games, and the man who stole his best player of the week is still that man!

But Hanamichi was not discouraged, and the Raptors continued to advance triumphantly after that.

On November 11, they defeated the Nuggets who had just lost their core player at home, and then defeated the Philadelphia 76ers who had been in a slump last season and the old rival New York Knicks in consecutive back-to-back games on the 13th and 14th!

It is worth mentioning that rookie No. 1 pick Iverson played 44 minutes, made 8 of 18 shots, scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 turnovers with a true shooting rate of 58.1%.

He made 5 of 11 three-pointers, and his butterfly step made Damon Stoudemire, who is also a short player, suffer a big loss.

But with the help of his teammates, Damon Stoudemire's data is indeed much better than that of the green rookie Iverson.

He started the game for 42 minutes, scored 21 points, 12 assists and 4 rebounds. This is the true level of the second-year Damon Stoudemire! Of course, if you don't look at the 7 turnovers.

(The data of this game is indeed copied from the real data of Iverson and Stoudemire in that game, even the mistakes are the same, otherwise the author is worried that he will be criticized by Iverson fans! I can only say that Stoudemire was really awesome in his early years.)

When the Magic team was about to play against the single-core Magic team, the Magic team issued an official announcement:

It has been confirmed that the core player of the team, Anfernee Hardaway, was seriously injured and reimbursed for the season!

According to his agent, Hardaway has been hospitalized and is actively contacting the hospital in Phoenix for surgery arrangements.

But Hanamichi understood that after this operation, the successor of Jordan with a smart style of play would no longer be as brave as he was in the past!

And several teams seemed to have discussed it.

After Hardaway was reimbursed for the season, Charles Barkley, the "Flying Pig" who defected to Mosaic, also reported an injury. The Mosaic Big Three fell before they could even start.

At the same time, the core of the Spurs team, one of the four centers, "Admiral" ~ David Robinson, also reported bad news, and was directly reimbursed for the entire season due to serious injuries!

But maybe this is a good thing for the Spurs management who are planning to play badly. After all, they have already set their sights on the nextThere is no man who can be the pillar of the Spurs for ten years!

In any case, the Raptors will easily win against the Orlando Magic, which has lost its core and is in disarray.

In this way, there are two teams in the East that have won 8 consecutive games at the beginning, namely the Chicago Bulls and the Toronto Raptors.

And the strange thing is that according to the schedule, these two teams will not meet in the short term!

The time for their first meeting and fighting is December 8 this season, which is about 20 days later!

(The other three games were on January 25, March 27 and April 14, 1997.)

Of course, the media and some stars are generally not optimistic about the Toronto Raptors, believing that they will not be able to remain undefeated until December 8 and meet the Chicago Bulls. In fact, they are likely to face a defeat next.

Because on November 19, the Raptors will play against the Seattle Supersonics, who came from afar, the Western Conference champion last season and one of the finals teams!
