Chapter 853

The Raptors took a 2-0 lead in the series, which didn't stir up many waves in the league.In the eyes of experts and fans, your Raptors are a dynasty team with 4 consecutive championships, and they should be so powerful. If you don't win the championship, it means failure.

The third game of the series between the two teams will be moved to Washington, and this game is almost an early decisive battle for the Wizards.They know that their skills are not as good as others, and it is very unlikely that they want to beat the Raptors to win the series, but losing does not mean that they must be swept.Obviously, they don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Bulls, they hope to win 3-1 games.If you lose, you have to lose decently.

On May 5, the Raptors VS Wizards series G5 was held at the Wizards' home court.

In this game, the Wizards ushered in a change.They removed Morris and used Oubre and Porter to start the striker.Obviously, they did this to target Ying Xiong.

The entire league knows that restricting Yingxiong is the most direct and effective way to defeat the Raptors.But the problem is that so far, no team has really done it in a series.

In this game, the Wizards' pincer attack against Xiong was quite fierce, almost from the beginning to the end, from without the ball to with the ball, they never let go.

But the other players of the Raptors are not NBDL players, and there are many All-Star players among them. When Ying Xiong was flanked by the whole field, they naturally got a lot of opportunities.It's a pity that they don't seize the opportunity to express themselves when they play more and less.

Ying Xiong was passing the ball throughout the game, and the other players of the Raptors team were really up to the task in this game. Many of his passes turned into assists.Throughout the game, he scored 19 assists, breaking the single-game high of his NBA playoff career (17 before).

The Raptors also lead the opponent in the game, leading by 25 points at most.In this "life and death battle" of the Wizards, they easily defeated their opponents and rewritten the big score of the series to 3:0.

The Raptors lead 3:0 in the series, basically half a foot has stepped into the Eastern Conference Finals.And their opponents, the Wizards, can only fight for honor. Let's see what will happen in G4 of the series.If there is no miracle by then, then G4 is likely to be their last game of the season.

On May 5, the series G8 of the Raptors VS Wizards will continue at the home court of the Wizards.The process and result of the game did not have much turmoil, and the miracle did not appear in the end. The home team lost the second home game and ended all games of the season with a total score of 4:2.

The Raptors entered the Eastern Conference Finals for the fifth consecutive season, and their opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals was the winner between the Cavaliers and Celtics.

Inside the league, it is not surprising that the Raptors broke into the Eastern Conference Finals, and they are also very optimistic about their matchup with the Cavaliers for the third consecutive year-the Cavaliers have already led the Celtics 3:3.

On May 5, the Cavaliers defeated the Celtics in an away game, thereby eliminating their opponents with a total score of 10:4 and meeting the Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The two teams have met in the playoffs in the past 3 years, and they are very familiar with each other.As the two most popular teams in the Eastern Conference, the Eastern Conference finals between them is something that the league and even the fans are happy to see.

The Cavaliers want to rush out of the East, and the Raptors are the opponents they have to overcome.When old opponents meet again, even the pre-match preparations will be much easier.Everyone basically has no hole cards, and the advantages and disadvantages are all on the surface.

On May 5, the Raptors VS Cavaliers Eastern Conference Finals G14 will be held at the Air Canada Center Arena, the home of the Raptors.In this round of the series, the side with the better record in the regular season has home court advantage.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Serge Ibaka, power forward - Patrick Patterson, small forward - DeMar DeRozan, shooting guard - should Xiong, point guard - Jeremy Lin.

The starting lineup of the Cavaliers for the away game is: center - Tristan Thompson, power forward - Kevin Love, small forward - LeBron James, shooting guard - JR Smith, point guard - Kyrie Irving.

The game was explained by Mike Breen and Jeff Van Gundy.

"Jeff, why don't you explain the Western Conference finals!" Mike Breen joked with a smile.

"Uh... it's not that you are here, I naturally chose to explain Dongjue!" Jeff Van Gundy also laughed.

Serge Ibaka and Tristan Thompson prepare a jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

"Both teams are playing very mobile lineup!" Mike Breen exclaimed.

"Yeah, the current trend in the league is that big men have to switch defenses, keep up with transition offenses, and have to shoot from the outside. It is becoming more and more difficult for big men over 7 feet to survive!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Neither Tristan nor Serge is taller than 6-foot-11!" Mike Breen said.

As the referee tossed the ball over the court, Ibaka and TT struggled to take off to compete for the ball.

Ibaka's bullet speed is better and his wingspan is better, winning the first wave of the game for the Raptors.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball across half court.

In the frontcourt, it is JR Smith who defends Yingxiong.

"Cleveland asked JR to respond! This is also in line with their style, haha..." Mike Breen laughed.

"LeBron is also 33 years old. It is indeed a burden to let him defend the whole court." Jeff Van Gundy said.

Jeremy Lin made a pick-and-roll with Ibaka at the top of the arc, and the latter rolled out. Facing Irving's round screen, he directly held the ball and rushed in.

Jeremy Lin rushed near the penalty area and met Love who was about to make him an offensive foul.He European-stepped up, shook the opponent away, and made a master layup-James made a diagonal stab and flew over to block the block!
Jeremy Lin's layup was interfered - missed!
Love easily accepted the rebound and handed it to James to advance.

"LeBron in the playoffs instantly became the team's No. 1 defense!" Mike Breen laughed.

"If it weren't for LeBron's help defense just now, Jeremy would have won the ball. After Tristan was pulled out, Kevin under the basket lacked the ability to protect the frame, so LeBron's help defense is very important to Cleveland!" Jeff Van Gundy explained.

James tried to switch, but the Raptors did a good job of retreating and did not give them the opportunity to play more or less in the frontcourt.

James points the ball to Irving.

Irving used the screen to break through with the ball and distributed it to Love on the outside.

Love didn't get an open chance, and Patterson defended very tightly!
Love flicked a shot, held the ball in and shot in, and was served by Ibaka's big cap when he layup!
TT got the ball, made 2 offenses, and was served by Ying Xiong who helped defend!
Jeremy Lin got the ball.
