The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 212
The Raptors ushered in a wave of happy schedule after kicking off the Warriors in an away game. Their next opponents were very ordinary. There were only three games in eight days, and they faced the Bobcats, Bulls and 76ers at home.Then followed by a three-game streak, namely the Magic, the Pacers and the Eagles. After beating six opponents, it will be Christmas!

Except for the Bulls and Pacers, the rest are wet and wet, and they haven't even touched the edge of the playoffs.The Raptors have the opportunity to abuse their fish bellies and brush up their record.All members of the Raptors have this kind of consciousness. You must know that Barnes and Jamal will be released from prison one after another.

First of all, they played against the bobcats again at home. Everyone in the Raptors was exposed to rain and dew, everyone contributed, and they were happy to slaughter them again.The final score was 103:81.

In the opening game, Kyle broke through the mid-range emergency stop jumper and got the first drop of blood. Then Bosh and Peterson opened up one after another. A wave of 10:2 starts made Bickerstaff's teeth sour, and he called a timeout to stabilize the situation. The two sides come and go, and maintain this score until the substitute comes off the bench.

In terms of the bench, the Raptors ushered in the return of Barnes, highlighting their advantages even more, scoring 4 points more than their opponents in a few minutes.Then the main force came up and chased hard. Kyle faced Wallace's tight defense, and he was not afraid of it. End full of loopholes.This is not over yet, their core Wallace and Okafor feel terrible, have no shooting rhythm at all, and have no way to effectively send the ball to the basket.In this way, they fell behind by as much as 21 points at halftime.

In the second half, the Bobcats learned from the pain and began to cooperate more with passing and cutting. Finally, they played well and lasted less than 3 minutes. With the outbreak of Bosh and the assistance of Kyle, Joey and Peterson, the Raptors The team started a new round of bombing.Bosh made consecutive shots, and then turned the tide in the paint. The free throws were so accurate that Okafor was stunned. In this way, the Bobcats were dealt with in three quarters.

Kyle had 16 points, 5 assists, and 3 rebounds in three quarters, and we had some pleasantries. Bosh had 18 points and 7 rebounds, which was relatively average. Peterson scored 10 points. Joey became more powerful, scoring 14 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals. Len, only scored 4 points on 1 of 2 shots, which is very bleak. After Jamal returns, I am afraid that the starting position will be shaky.On the bench, Calderon still shined, with 6 points and 4 assists. When Kyle was away, he sorted out the offense in an orderly manner.The returning Barnes performed mediocre, scoring only 5 points and 3 rebounds, which looked very mediocre, but his return gave Sam more room for adjustment.Smith scored 11 points. He is the most offensive player on the bench, and his performance is stable. The current average of 10.2 points per game is much better than Jaylen, but he is still far away from the starting lineup. The main reason is that his defensive attitude is still a problem, and With Kyle and Bosh, he doesn't have so many possessions.Others are also a little weak.

The Bobcats had the highest score by Wallace with 13 points, followed by Knight with 12 points and 6 assists. Felton was not so lucky. Every time he met Kyle, he wanted to show off his glory, but every time he Counseling every time, 5 points and 2 assists.Brezek had 12 points, Okafor had 9 points, Jumaine Jones had 10 points, and the others performed very well!Not worth mentioning.

With this victory at home, the Raptors' record has reached [-] wins and [-] losses, overwhelming the Wizards with the same record and ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.The media started talking again, thinking that the Raptors will be a strong contender for the top four teams, because Jamal is about to return.At the same time, it completely denied Artest's deal, claiming that the Raptors should be thankful that they did not do stupid things that hurt the team's chemistry.

But then the Raptors slapped them in the face with practical actions, and they dedicated a wonderful loss at home.The game against the Bulls was extremely difficult. The two sides fought until the last moment to decide the winner. The Bulls took away the victory with free throws.

The two sides played evenly in the first quarter, mainly due to the strength of their point guards.Kirk Hinrich is a white man, one of the outstanding talents in the class of 03. He looks thin and his strength is not bad, but he is very good at defending Kyle. , not far away from Kyle, usually within two seconds of being thrown away by Kyle, he must return to his side to guard.

Kyle couldn't use his hands and feet, partly because of Tyson Chandler, this big man sits in the paint, and the others line up, making Kyle extremely uncomfortable when he breaks through. There are three!The number of times Kyle was capped throughout the season instantly increased.

In the second quarter, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, but what remained unchanged was that Kyle still couldn't find the rhythm.And Bosh does not have Kyle's support, and the offensive end seems to be lost.The Bulls' Ben Gordon made great contributions, scoring 17 points in two quarters.

The third quarter was more like a hand-to-hand fight. The scene was ugly and fouls became the mainstream.Both sides looked for changes in the fourth quarter.The Raptors completely abandoned Jaylen, and the Bulls sent two great substitutes, Andres Nocioni and Darius Sangueira, to spoil the situation. The pace accelerated and the momentum of grabbing points was obvious.

But the two sides still couldn't kill their opponents with one stick, and the stalemate lasted for the last 3 minutes.When the defensive strength came up, Kyle and Bosh started the singles mode, but the effect was not good.Similarly, no one from the Bulls stood up to give the Raptors a fatal blow, and they had no obvious strengths. Gordon couldn't find North under Peterson's marking, let alone Hinrich. Having said that, if Kyle doesn't score, of course he will stalk his opponent to prevent him from scoring.

In the last 41 seconds, the Bulls scored 2 points from Chandler's tip-up, and the Bulls went ahead again, leading by 1 point.Sam called a timeout, and then played a pick-and-roll with Bosh. After all, this was their most reliable tactic, and the two most certain points. At this critical moment, they had to fight hard.After Kyle broke in, double-teaming ensued, and Kyle felt it was deep enough while walking, and returned the ball to Bosh, who followed up with a floater.Iron!Chandler made another contribution and got the rebound.

At this time, there were still 23 seconds left, and the Bulls decisively paused.

Then the Raptors pressed hard and interfered with the opponent's serve, but this was a delusion. Gordon ran to the backcourt to catch the ball, clearly consuming time.

The Raptors were helpless and fouled with ten seconds left. Gordon was very steady and made both free throws.

In the end, Kyle scored a three-pointer, but it was obvious that he didn't!

猛龙队以91:94输掉了一场不该输的比赛。凯尔15投5中，只拿下了14分5助攻5篮板，波什13分10篮板，皮特森17分，乔伊10分。公牛队戈登拿下全场最高分25分，功臣钱德勒10分12篮板。
