Chapter 1024: 15 Consecutive Victories and 15 Games of 30+! (Down)
The Raptors were born in 1995. At that time, as part of the NBA's overseas expansion plan, the home court was located in Toronto, Canada. The team name was also collected, and the fierce, fast, and high-jumping "Dragon" was finally selected.
As the only non-American team, whether the Raptors are considered a strong team may be a question in the minds of many fans, but Ji Feng thinks that the Raptors are not bad in any aspect. Although it can't compare with many old strong teams, it can be regarded as a strong team in the league.
Because although this team has produced popular superstars such as Tracy McGrady and Carter in the team's short history of more than ten years, there are also All-Star players such as Antonio Davis and Bosh, and even "Big Dream" Olajuwon once belonged to this team.
And it stands to reason that their record is also good. In the 1996 season, they defeated the invincible Bulls in an upset. In 1998, three years after the establishment of the team, they made it to the playoffs for the first time. This is better than many old players. The team is even faster, and in Carter's peak period, they also reached the Eastern Conference semifinals and forced Iverson's 76ers to the tiebreaker before finally losing. That series was also the pinnacle of Vince Carter's career In the previous work, the confrontation between him and Iverson was also very exciting.
It's just a pity that Carter's peak was lost by Bowen with three consecutive kicks. After Carter left in 2004, they returned to the playoffs under the leadership of Chris Bosh in just two seasons. Under the leadership of Chris Bosh, the Raptors won the first division championship in team history with 47 wins and 35 losses, and entered the playoffs with the third record in the Eastern Conference. This is also the first non-American team to win the division. The championship, but it is a pity that the Nets led by Carter were defeated in the playoffs.
And last season they made it to the playoffs again, also stopping in the first round.
Although this record does not seem to be comparable to some old strong teams, the Raptors, who have only 13 years of team building history, have won division championships, reached the semifinals of the playoffs, and entered the playoffs 5 times , Judging from the ratio alone, this team is quite successful in building a team, and it is not a star and a half better than the Bobcats.
Moreover, they missed the playoffs for a very short time, which proves that there is no problem in the management of this team. They may just lack a chance, and it is also possible for them to win the championship in the future and create a new history of the NBA.
But not yet, the current Raptors already need to struggle for the playoffs.
This season, they retained Bosh, Calderon and Bargnani's combination. Tower, intending to form a stronger inside line, made a breakthrough in the playoffs.
However, the performance of this seemingly strong insider combination in the new season is very average. The lack of chemical reaction between Bosh and Jermaine O'Neill is one point. The other point is that Jermaine O'Neal has long since lost his previous courage due to years of injuries. .
Moreover, the Lakers have a complete psychological advantage in playing the Raptors, especially Kobe, who was very excited before playing the Raptors. After all, this team means a lot to him. I took a rest, because I was too excited before the game, resulting in repeated finger injuries,
In this game, Ji Feng was handed over the offensive responsibility, and he was also very excited. He will continue to hit 30+ games in a row, so no matter what happens to the Raptors, Ji Feng will not hold back!
Therefore, the outside world originally hoped that the Raptors could cause some troubles for the Lakers. After all, it is quite bluffing for the insiders Jr. and Bosh, especially Jr., who is absolutely ruthless.
But the Lakers opened a gap from the inside in this game!
For the first ball, Ji Feng originally wanted to open the situation first. After all, Corvo was not around. Shi and O'Neal didn't even intend to help defend. This time, Ji Feng will naturally not be polite. An easy breakthrough layup can get a good start.
"Hey, he's already there, why don't you make up the defense!" Bosh shouted at Xiao Ao, he had long seen this guy who was slow to defend, he always didn't defend, and the offense was also an unstoppable fool. , averaged only 11 points per game, and it took up a lot of his shot space, which made his data begin to decline. How could Bosh bear it.
"I should be the one asking you this question, isn't it your responsibility?" Xiao Ao pushed back without any hesitation. Although Bosh is the nominal boss of this team, who was he afraid of Xiao Ao? .
After this ball, the two insiders of the Raptors successfully fought among themselves...
This makes Ji Feng feel a little bit forced, isn't it just a ball, as for...
However, Ji Feng understood that O'Neal's deal was over. Countless history tells us that once there is a contradiction in the best lineup, it will only end in the end.
"Hit it in!" Ji Feng shouted to all the Lakers players, this is a long-lost super cruel game!
In the following seasons, it was obvious that the entire Raptors were isolating O'Neal. He couldn't get the ball inside. Even if he got it, it was a very uncomfortable pass. He could score. It belongs to the kind of fate.
And Jermaine O'Neal is obviously broken, as long as he holds the ball, he just hits it in, and he doesn't even think about passing it back. The hit rate can be imagined.
The inside line of the Raptors just exploded by itself...
This caused the Lakers to play very easily. Gasol scored a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds in the halftime. Although Bynum did not score much, he got 4 blocks. You must know that this is halftime data.
This caused Bynum to be very excited during the intermission, and he almost counted on his fingers whether he had a chance to block double figures this time.
And Ji Feng also easily got the data of 16 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds. Yes, he scored a triple-double in halftime. The data of this game is really easy to get...
126-90, the Lakers scored more than 120 points in 4 consecutive games, and beat the Raptors by 36 points, achieving 14 consecutive victories.
And Ji Feng scored a super large triple-double of 40 points, 15 assists and 14 rebounds in this game. While getting the first 40+ game of the season, he refreshed his career triple-double data to 35 games, and continued to maintain 14 consecutive games. Score 30+ games.
"Crazy!" This is the vocabulary used by ESPN to describe the state of the Lakers after the game. They scored 120 points in 4 consecutive long-distance games. Although the opponent is weak, this is definitely a historical level of offensive ability.
And Ji Feng once again appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, becoming the second active Lakers player to appear on the cover 4 times alone. The big '16? ’ The sign indicates that Ji Feng is getting closer to the record of active Kobe Bryant.
Then on December 1st, which is the first game in December, the Lakers played at home against the Timberwolves in the Western Conference. Kobe continued to take turns to prepare for the game after the game. Scored 32 points, led the team 105-96, defeated the explosive Timberwolves by 9 points, and won 5 consecutive victories in the opening game.
And Ji Feng's record finally reached 15 games!
