Chapter 260 12 consecutive victories
After winning a wave of 10 consecutive victories, the Phoenix Suns were in full swing. Three days later, facing the visit of the Toronto Raptors, the Suns did not show mercy. They made another victory 106 to 94, continuing the good momentum of winning streak .

The Toronto Raptors performed poorly this season, seeing no hope of even the playoffs, so they directly sent Vince Carter to the Nets, with Chris Bosh as the core of the team, ready to enter the reconstruction.

The current record is only 10 wins and 18 losses, ranking No. 11 in the East Station. The state has been very bad recently. They have only won 10 games in the past 2 games, and their morale is very low.

In fact, just looking at the Raptors' starting lineup, they still have the power to fight the Suns. His lineup has good offensive talent.

The No. 1 position is occupied by Ralph Alston. He is 188cm tall and weighs 78kg. He has mediocre defensive ability.

However, this season, Alstom seemed to be enlightened. He actually shot 40% of the three-pointers. He was in a very good state and played peak data. He averaged 14.8 points and 7.1 assists per game.

Combined with Alston's ability to drive and handle the ball, it looks really competitive.

The No. 2 position is occupied by All-Star scorer Jaylen Rose. He is the first scorer of the Raptors after Carter left. He has a good ability to hold the ball. Currently, he can score 19.8 points and 4.6 assists per game. The strength is very good.

The 3rd position is taken by Maurice Peterson, the first-round pick of the 2000 generation, with a height of 201cm, unpretentious style of play, a three-pointer stunt, strong defensive ability, both offensive and defensive, and is a top 3D player.

In the 04-05 season, he averaged 13.5 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. The statistics are not obvious, but the tactics are indispensable.

The 4th position is played by Donyell Marshall. With a height of 206cm, he is in a non-standard position, that is, the 3rd position is not fast, and the 4th position is insufficient in height and strength, so he is easy to be overwhelmed.However, he is talented offensively, has a good mid-range shooting ability, and is an evacuation power forward, especially with three-point range.

Although his role on the defensive end is not great, he is a good player on offense. This season, his performance has declined a bit, and he can still average 12.7 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Chris Bosh, the core of the Raptors, sits at the center. Nicknamed "Dragon King", he finally lived up to his name and became the king of the Raptors.

As the No. 03 pick of the Platinum Generation in 4, Bosh did not disgrace this title, and his skills have been improving. Currently, he averages 17.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. He has the physical talent and temperament to become a superstar.

At 2004:12 p.m. on December 26, 9, the Phoenix Suns played against the Toronto Raptors at the American West Arena, officially started.

The Suns starting five remain unchanged, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Marion, center Amar Ray Stoudemire.

Although the Raptors' starting five have outstanding offensive talents, at first glance they are not much different from the Suns' five tigers.

As a result, as soon as the first quarter of the game started, the fans and audience were dumbfounded.

The Raptors didn't have the slightest strength to resist at all, and they were directly pressed to the floor by the Suns and beat them violently, their noses and faces were bruised, and they couldn't lift their heads at all.

The Suns' 7-second running and bombing and diamond tactical play began to shine as soon as the game opened.

Nash and Stoudemire combined their swords and played pick-and-roll tactics. They actually beat Bosh and Alston to the brink of death, and they had to parry.

Whether the two played in pick-and-roll misplaced singles, or directly singled out with the ball, they both defeated their opponents.

In the first quarter, Nash and Stoudemire scored 12 points each, leading the Suns to use a wave of offensive attacks to directly beat their opponents, laying the foundation for the victory of the game.

34 to 14! !
Who would have thought that the Suns would directly lead the Raptors by 20 points in the first quarter.

The Raptors' defense is like paper. The only defensive player is Maurice Peterson.

Bosh's physical talent is very strong, but when facing Stoudemire, it is like facing an enhanced version of himself, and now he has not polished his defensive skills, so he can only be blown up.

Alston is even worse, Nash can beat him, and it has been tried and tested.

Since the defense is not strong, let's fight for the offense!
As a result, the Raptors felt very bad, as if they had been frozen.

Both Jaylen Rose and Marshall made 2 of 0 shots and scored no points.

Peterson got 2 points, but spent 6 shots, Bosh was not much better there, 3 of 1 shots, and only scored 2 points.

The starting Five Tigers played so poorly, they were naturally dealt with by the Suns.

The game started in the second quarter, and D'Antoni continued to rotate with 7 players. He wanted to use the main force to increase the score. Unexpectedly, the Raptors were very tenacious, and their shooting touch also recovered.

In particular, Jaylen Rose showed the temperament of a super scorer. He made 6 of 4 shots and scored 10 points in a single quarter. He led the Raptors to 25 to 24 in the second quarter and withstood the violent attack of the Suns.

At the end of halftime, the Raptors trailed the Suns by 39 points 58 to 19 and entered the locker room to rest.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

The situation on the court changed suddenly, and the Raptors suddenly broke out.

Bosh took the lead, constantly dribbling the ball to hit the inside of the Suns.

As the Raptors opened up inside, Peterson's three-pointer also came, and he scored two flanking three-pointers in a row, supporting strong fire support from the outside.

Jaylen Rose's state continued well, and he made consecutive hits in the mid-range shots.

Marshall and Alstom were also unwilling to be lonely, and each scored a three-pointer.

The Raptors' offensive firepower was in full bloom, directly hitting the Suns by surprise, and returning the Suns to a 30-19 attack wave.

In the third quarter of the game, the Suns thought that the overall situation was settled, and D'Antoni carried out too much rotation. As a result, the substitute players were in poor condition, and their shooting percentage dropped to freezing point.

Seeing the Raptors start to chase points crazily, D'Antoni quickly replaced the main players to stabilize the situation on the court.

Although the Raptors broke out in the third quarter and brought the score closer to 7 points, the Suns did not give the Raptors a chance to struggle when the fourth quarter started.

Stoudemire dominates the basket, no one can resist, scoring is as easy as drinking water.

With Stoudemire's strength, the Suns have no psychological pressure on the perimeter, and their shots are very firm.

Richardson was limited by Peterson's defense for the first three quarters, and finally broke out in the fourth quarter, raining three-pointers on the perimeter.

Immediately afterwards, Joe Johnson also stepped up to make up the knife, three-point jumper and two-point individual singles, no matter how he played, Jaylen Rose had no temper at all.

Although the offense of the Raptors is still not bad, it's just that if they want to fight the Suns in offense, they obviously found the wrong opponent.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the Suns defeated the Raptors' counterattack 31 to 25 and had the last laugh.

With the momentum of 11 consecutive victories, the Phoenix Suns flew to New Orleans without stopping to challenge the New Orleans Hornets.

The New Orleans Hornets are determined to hit the No. 2 pick this season. At present, their record is only 25 wins and [-] losses, ranking at the bottom of the league, and their state is rotten. One sky, one earth, almost two extremes, one at the top of the list, one at the bottom of the list.

The strength of the two teams is not in the same dimension at all. Even if "Big Beard" Baron Davis reappears in the game, he still cannot shake the determination of the Hornets.

And the appearance of Baron Davis is more of a farewell performance. The head star of the Hornets has already flirted with the Warriors and made a decision.

The Hornets took advantage of the situation, and everyone got what they needed.

The Phoenix Suns also showed no mercy. They easily defeated the New Orleans Hornets with 107 to 96 in the away game, advancing their winning streak to 12 games.
