Chapter 416

On February 2, the Raptors, who have won 2 consecutive victories, visited Boston's North Shore Garden Arena to challenge the Celtics.Although the current record of the Celtics has picked up, the aging of the team's core players and frequent injuries have made it difficult for this iron-blooded team in the regular season. At present, they are only 5 wins and 10 losses, 10%. The winning percentage ranks 50th in the Eastern Conference.In contrast, the Raptors have a record of 8 wins and 17 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

However, no one dares to try the Celtics. Even though the overall age of this team is relatively old, the structure of the winning lineup is still alive. If the Raptors play a series with them immediately, it is estimated that not many people will Vote for victory for the dark horse Raptors, even if the current record of the two teams is significantly different.

In this game, the Raptors are united, hoping to defeat the Green Army led by the old Big Three at the North Shore Garden Arena, usher in a 7-game winning streak, and then hit the No. [-] throne in the East.

Ying Xiong also really wants to win this game, because the last time the two teams played against each other, the Raptors lost without any power to fight back, and they were all overwhelmed by the opponent.The Celtics' defense suppressed their offense very badly, and they lost without temper.If you want to make a difference this season, you can't lose to the same opponent in a row, otherwise it will hurt the morale of the team.

But this game is destined to make the Raptors realize their shortcomings again.In the whole game, the team only scored 80 points, and except for Ying Xiong, no one scored in double digits, either as a starter or as a substitute.In this game, the Jagged and Green Army used their pincers and rotations to limit Ying Xiong and prevent other Raptors players from death.

Although the Celtics only scored 97 points, they ushered in a big victory.There is no other reason, because of defense!

After losing the game, Ying Xiong did not accept an interview and left the locker room directly.It can be seen that he is not in a good mood.He played very aggrieved in this game. Not only did he not play well in offense, but he also failed to defend the opponent's offensive arrow, Paul Pierce, which made him blame himself.

This loss made Raptors coach Devin Casey very distressed, because since the loss of Bargnani, the team's interior offense has been weak, and it can be said that there is almost no independent offensive ability inside.As for the team's current group of insiders, the offensive end mainly relies on the outside to feed the ball. In this way, once the outside line cannot be opened, it will be difficult to deliver enough ammunition to the inside players.In addition, several outside players headed by DeRozan have unstable outside shots and unstable offense.If the opponent double-teams Yingxiong and then turns fast enough, DeRozan and others can easily be eliminated by the opponent.

Casey lamented that basketball is a sport of 5 people after all, a 1-man team is easy to be targeted by the opponent, stronger than Jordan, without Pippen, it would be very difficult to win the championship with 1 player.

For the Raptors, losing a game is not really the end of the world. After all, their record is still 17 wins and 6 losses, still ranking among the top three in the East.It's just that after consecutive losses to the Green Army, it was a blow to their self-confidence, especially the two defeats were a bit ugly.

Casey is not worried about the record. He is a little worried about Ying Xiong and several other young players. He is worried that their self-confidence will be affected by their strength this time, which will have some adverse effects on the next game.For this reason, he plans to have a heart-to-heart talk with them in private. Only with the same goal can he continue to create good results in the next dozens of games.

Due to the loss of the game, Ying Xiong was in a bad mood, so he went back to the hotel to rest and did not accept any interviews.But on the second day, he got a piece of news - he was a starter in the All-Star!

After Chris Bosh left, this team has become dim, as if it has been forgotten by the fans of the league.

Although Ying Xiong had been prepared for being selected for the All-Star Game, he was very excited when he heard the news.This is not only an honor, but also fulfilled one of his dreams.Entering the NBA is a dream, and being an All-Star is also a dream!
