Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left - Chapter 1021
On February 16, the weather was fine and sunny. During this traditional Chinese Spring Festival holiday, Toronto, which is always cold in winter, also ushered in a rare good weather.
But such weather is always unintentionally appreciated, such as Dwayne Casey.
As the new head coach of the Raptors who has just taken office for just half a year, Dwayne Casey is currently facing the biggest crisis of his career, because just last night, his Raptors lost by a huge 145-75 point difference.
The 70-point difference is not only the largest loss difference in the history of the Raptors, but also the largest loss difference in NBA history.
The holder of this embarrassing record was originally the Miami Heat. In 1991, not too far away, the Cavaliers led by Mark Price and Brad Doherty played with 12 players and scored, and 8 scored in double figures. , the team sent out 39 assists and beat the Heat led by Steve Smith and Glenn Rice 148:80. The 68-point difference created a record at the time and remained until last night .
Thinking about the current Lao Zhan, the relationship between the Cavaliers and the Heat really has a long history.
Today, this record was finally taken by the Raptors. I don’t know what others think, but Glen Rice, who is watching TV at home, has already laughed out loud.
For Casey, this is definitely a fatal blow. After all, such a score is a disgrace to any coach. In the words of the criminal arrester: this thing affects his career!
Kathy stayed up all night because of this, tossing and turning in bed until dawn.
But no matter how he thought about it, he could only come to one conclusion: he doesn’t blame me for this thing!
“My opponent is the New York Knicks, with an average winning margin of 28.5 points per game. A horrible team that has won 27 consecutive victories in a single season! What should I use to win and stop them? Take the lead!! ”
Yes, the other party who created the biggest tragedy in history is the Knicks who are in full swing.
Before arriving in Toronto, they had won 27 straight games, the second-longest in NBA history.
After defeating the Bulls, the No. In the face of wild attacks, they were defeated one after another without even being able to organize an effective counterattack.
From 22 consecutive victories to 27 consecutive victories, the Knicks have crushed all the way, leaving the previous winning streak far behind. Now, only the ancient Lakers’ 33 consecutive victories are left in front of them.
This also made countless experts issue the most sincere question: “Who can stop the Knicks?!”
Obviously, not the Raptors.
Although people often say that changing coaches is like changing knives, it is clear that for the Raptors today, only changing one head coach cannot solve the fundamental problem. The team has a lot of rookies and lacks good players. Average, although the new core DeRozan in the team has improved significantly, it is obvious that he is not a player who can carry a team alone.
In the first 20 games, the Raptors only won 6 games. If they continue to play like this, the reverse super **** is just around the corner.
It is self-evident what will happen to such a team against the Knicks, who are full of touch, confidence, and advanced tactics.
But no one expected that the Raptors would be beaten so badly in this game. Even if Zuo Li made 4 three-pointers in the first quarter, even if the Knicks had already scored 70 points in the half, no one expected that they would really break through. record.
After the game, DeRozan from the same company called Zuo Li depressedly, and Zuo Li scratched his head a bit, because it was a bit too ruthless to win the game like this, not to mention that there was DeRozan on the opposite side.
But it’s really not Zuo Li’s fault!
In fact, the Knicks’ main force was absent for a minute in the second half. In the first half, the Knicks had 24 points and 10 rebounds, Curry had 18 points and 4 assists, and Randolph had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks. The score has been extended to 30 points. Enough is enough.
However, the Knicks’ substitutes are really accurate, especially Klay Thompson, who just created a new personal scoring high, and made 3 three-pointers in 5 minutes, which is extremely efficient.
And the others didn’t give in too much. Thompson’s outstanding performance also stimulated Ke Liu and others. How can everyone watch a rookie steal the limelight!
So the introversion begins…
So the Raptors were completely depressed…
It’s not that they didn’t think about stopping the Knicks with fierce fouls, but when Beverly and Anderson came up, they were more bandits than the bandits. Just looking at the scene, they didn’t know that the Knicks were behind.
The Raptors don’t have any tough players, and DeRozan’s style of play is also soft, so he was completely shocked by the Knicks.
So the point difference widened and widened, and when the Knicks replaced the second team, the Raptors still couldn’t score.
Throughout the second half, the Raptors scored 30 points, not as much as the Knicks scored in one quarter, so this 20-year-old record was broken just like that.
But unfortunately, when the point difference reached 70 points, the home fans had almost left, so there were not many witnesses.
But this does not affect the basketball circle here, and the fans ridiculed: “It’s too cruel. The Raptors can be said to be the most tragic team in history.”
No, the previous Knicks’ high scores came from the Raptors, and even Bosh couldn’t bear to leave, and the background board of Kobe’s 81 points is also the Raptors…
This is very uncomfortable!
But there is no way, UU Reading www.uukanshu.comThe jungle is prey to the strong, the NBA is so cruel.
The Knicks played 12 players, all of whom scored, and 9 scored in double figures. Keliu scored a game-high 27 points, David Lee scored 21 points and 14 rebounds, and Dragic scored 14 points and 11 assists. Clay scored 18 points and made 5 of 9 three-pointers from the field.
The Knicks team sent 44 assists, creating a record in team history.
As for the Raptors, except for DeRozan’s 17 points, no one scored in double figures.
After winning this game, the Knicks’ winning streak came to 28 games, only two games away from the 30-game winning streak.
People exclaimed, the second 30-game winning streak in history is just around the corner!
The major media followed up and reported, and CCTV even made a special program to analyze the Knicks’ schedule after the game and the possibility of the Knicks surpassing the Lakers for 33 consecutive victories.
As for the 30-game winning streak…
People looked at the two opponents after the Knicks-Kings and Bobcats… well, is there still suspense?
There really are!
On the night of February 16, while Casey was still looking for reasons for himself in front of the media, the Knicks had already flown to Sacramento to play back-to-back.
Before the game, Zuo Li also received a call from Cousins. On the phone, Cousins begged Zuo Li to be gentle.
However, in the game, Cousins fired all his firepower and caught the inside singles on the line. He personally scored a double-double of 28 points and 14 rebounds against Zuo Li, which was his best performance against Zuo Li.
It may be that the Knicks were slackened by winning too much in the last game. This game has always been behind. If it weren’t for the King’s repeated mistakes at the last moment, Zuo Li seized the opportunity to score 10 consecutive points and lead the team to overtake the score. This game said Maybe the Knicks will overturn!
