NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

The Raptors' good start was quite a big news in the league, after all, they defeated the team that participated in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

Even though they were just the remnants of last season's Eastern Conference Finals team, didn't you see the great [Big Sewer] and [Big Shark] far away in Los Angeles constantly emphasizing his importance in the New York Knicks when facing media interviews!

ESPN also promptly adjusted its odds for the Raptors to win the championship this season, ranking them 7th.

Ahead are the Bulls, Jazz, SuperSonics, Pacers, Mavericks and Lakers.

"It seems that even though we defeated the Knicks, who were ranked 30th on the list, by points, the media still didn't take us seriously and just used the th place as an excuse!"

Hanamichi started reading the newspaper, while Daben with his afro came over to read.

The head coach of the Raptors, Landon Malone, said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter. The later they take us Raptors seriously, the more time we have to prepare!"

Seeing his husband's expression that said "enter the village quietly, don't shoot", Huadao said that he was right!

"Making a fortune in silence is the best way for us!"

抱着这份心态，11月2号和11月5号，猛龙队在客场和主场分别以109：98，100：96战胜了黄蜂队和小牛队。

People in the media said that this is normal!

The Hornets and the Mavericks, let alone the Raptors, I'm afraid even the Knicks can bully them, not to mention the latter, the Raptors only won by 4 points!

而11月8日猛龙队主场对战湖人队，也是以93：92险胜1分。

"If you say the Raptors are a playoff team, I believe it!"

"But the Raptors' chances of winning the championship are really not as good as the previous teams, especially the Chicago Bulls!"

The ESPN commentator said that part of the reason that gave him such courage was that the league's first week player of the week was not Hanamichi.

而是场均拿下32.5分6篮板4助攻2抢断0.5盖帽的迈克尔·哪里都有我·乔丹！

(NBA Player of the Week was only divided into the Eastern and Western Conferences in 2001. Before that, there was only one player per week.)

要说花道不受打击那是不可能的，毕竟这一周他们拿下了4连胜，他场均拿下27.5分13个篮板4个助攻2个盖帽1.5个抢断。

But the team ranked first in the Eastern Conference is still the Chicago Bulls who won five consecutive games, and the man who won the Player of the Week award is still that man!

But Huamichi was not discouraged, and the Raptors continued to advance vigorously after that.

11月11日主场击退刚刚失去球队核心的掘金队，又在13日、14日连续的背靠背赛程中击败了上赛季摆烂的费城76人以及老对手纽约尼克斯！

值得一提的是新秀状元艾弗森，出场44分钟，18投8中，以58.1%的真实命中率砍下了23分2篮板3助攻以及足足5个失误。

He made 11 of 5 three-pointers, and his butterfly steps caused great harm to Damon Stoudemire, who is also a short player.

But with the help of his teammates, Damon Stoudemire's statistics are indeed much better than those of the green rookie Iverson.

Starting the game for 42 minutes, he scored 21 points, 12 assists and 4 rebounds. This is the true level of the second-year Damon Stoudemire! Of course, if you don't look at the 7 turnovers.

(The data in this game is indeed copied from the real data of Iverson and Stoudemire in that game, even the mistakes are the same, otherwise the author would be worried about being criticized by Iverson fans! All I can say is that Stoudemire was really awesome in his early years.)

When facing the single-core Magic team, the Magic issued an official announcement:

It has been confirmed that the team's core player Anfernee Hardaway is seriously injured and out for the season!

According to his agent, Hardaway has been hospitalized and is actively contacting a hospital in Phoenix to arrange surgery.

But Hanamichi understood that after this operation, the agile successor to Jordan would no longer be as brave as he was in the past!

And several teams seemed to have discussed it beforehand.

After Hardaway was ruled out for the season, Charles Barkley, the "Flying Pig" who joined the Mosaic, was also reported to be injured. One of the Mosaic Big Three fell before they even got started.

At the same time, the core of the Spurs team, one of the four centers, [Admiral] ~ David Robinson, also received bad news. He was seriously injured and was out for the entire season!

But maybe this is a good thing for the Spurs management who are already planning to give up. After all, they have already set their sights on the next man who can be the pillar of the Spurs for at least ten years!

In any case, the Raptors naturally won easily against the Orlando Magic, who had lost their core player and were in disarray.

As a result, there are two teams in the Eastern Conference that have started with eight consecutive wins, namely the Chicago Bulls and the Toronto Raptors.

And the weird thing is, according to the schedule, these two teams will not meet in the short term!

Their first meeting will be on December 12 of this season, which is almost 8 days later!

（另外三场是在1997年1月25日、3月27日以及4月14日。）

Of course, the media and some stars are generally not optimistic about the Toronto Raptors, believing that they will not be able to remain undefeated until December 12, when they face the Chicago Bulls. In fact, there is a high probability that they will face a defeat next.

Because on November 11th, the Raptors will play a home game against the Seattle SuperSonics, last season's Western Conference champions and one of the finals teams, who came from afar!
