Chapter 988 Killing the Dragon and Killing the Deer
game1 is a defeat, game2 takes out a decent resistance.
In the third game, the Raptors acted like the season was over, and they just had to play Game 3 and Game 4.
No morale, no fighting spirit.
76ers slaughtered their opponents mercilessly, 3 to 0.
Raptors head coach Dwyane Casey told reporters: "No matter what the future is, we still have a game to play."
This is obviously not a good answer.
Casey is hinting that they will be out by the 76ers in four games.
At the same time, after DeRozan's depression spread, public opinion was generally tolerant of the Raptors, and fans from various places sent a lot of humanistic care to DeRozan.
The slogan that life is greater than basketball resounds off the court.
Now, the 76ers need to give their opponent a happy break.
After three games, Casey decided to use the troops to set up the formation that he had been frequently used in the past two years. This time the formation was filled with a sense of ritual that "the most important thing for a family is to be neat" when he was about to die, and it complemented his so-called "there is still one game to play" after the last game.
The 76ers' start made the fans feel safe. Every Cousins' cross-step attack facing Valanciunas was like igniting a lead, and countless monkeys flew around him; Kobe scored 12 points in 5 shots in a single quarter, and their performance established a basic advantage.
In the second quarter, the 76ers even sent OG Anunobi, which was enough to prove how abundant their confidence was and how relaxed and happy they were on this night.
The Raptors are not as easy to fight as they look.
The Raptors are indeed on the verge of elimination, but they still have a deeper level of personnel behind the 76ers, so they shouted and caught up.
Van Freit, the undrafted Van Freit, was finally able to play a role, frequently hit three-pointers, and DeRozan was able to score. Depression seemed to be gradually improving under the care of fans from all over the world. Whether standing on the free throw line or where, being able to score was ultimately a good thing that made Canadians feel at ease.
After halftime, the Raptors were only 6 points behind.
In the second half, Valanciunas woke up like the Golden Saint of the Zodiac was crawling out of the cemetery. If possible, he was willing to take off his shell like a child tiger, shave off his beard, and then shave his head-up pattern. Then the fans will clearly understand that he is only 26 years old, and he is a good age for dreams and laughter to like singing loudly. At this age, if the body fluids secreted are only tears, it would be a tragedy in life.
The Raptors' close pursuit can bring some urgency to the 76ers, but they have not yet received the highest level of recognition - letting wish be serious.
In the first three games of the first round, Wei Xia's average score was only over 20 points per game.
What is this concept?
Since his debut in the first round of the Suns in 2006, only in the semifinals of that year, he returned with injuries and played against the Clippers per game, which is lower than this data.
It is the dream of all championship teams to limit Wei Xia's average score per game in a round of series.
Now the Raptors have fulfilled their wishes in reverse.
He is playing passes, not ordinary passes, back passes, and no one passes. Malawic's style of changing line passes, feints and real passes or foreign fax attacks... He uses his imagination as he pleases. The only personal attack that makes people remember is that the Raptors finally defended the 76ers' tactics, so he made a backward jump shot from a negative angle.
All these weights add up to form a hint, from the gifts dedicated to the world by Stephen Curry and his Warriors, using the playful attitude of "Let's enjoy the beauty of basketball together" to squeeze the remaining air around the opponent's mouth.
DeRozan, who had already suffocated, had a tendency to worsen his condition at the end of the third quarter. He used a chasing and defense fast attack to attack Robertson's team to obtain a second-level malicious foul and was expelled.
This time, he did not have to endure Casey's change of formation again, nor did he need to sit on the bench to welcome the endless loneliness brought by others in the fourth quarter. DeRozan ended his torture with this action, pierced the bubble that had been blown up throughout the season, and the breakpoint continued to pass on the nightmare for many years.
All Raptors fans can give him is blessing.
DeRozan's exit is like a basketball era belonging to Toronto is coming to an end.
Their situation is similar to all the teams in history that look good but have difficulty competing for the championship.
Either find a way to go further and truly gain the capital to compete for the championship, or give up everything and start over.
There is no strong team that works hard to make the playoffs or enter the first and second rounds of the playoffs.
All teams that have become strong teams are the champions.
If you can't win the championship, the wonderful lineup will be just a loft in the sky, which makes no sense.
4 to 0
The 76ers sent the Raptors out of the playoffs.
They did not perform much, and Kobe crushed the Raptors and smashed the Toronto man's dream when he did not play much, which was likely to deepen DeRozan's condition and at the same time, Lowry's face lost a smile.
"We will come back." Lowry said confidently.
Wei Xia is not optimistic about the future of the Raptors, but he cannot tell the truth, so he can only say: "I look forward to you getting better."
4-0 made the 76ers the first team in the East to break through the first round.
Other teams need at least five games to break through the difficulties.
A few days later, their semi-final opponent surfaced.
The Bucks from Milwaukee.
The peak of the Bucks' history was in the 1970s and 1980s.
Apart from these two periods, from the 1990s to the present, they have only two seasons broken through the first round, and both happened in the era of Ray Allen.
Now they have completed the reconstruction with the accelerated evolution of the genetically mutant wizard Giannis Antetokounmpo.
With Jabarri Parker's assistance and Kidd's X-Warrior Plan, they gathered a bunch of Spider-Man and advocated crushing their opponents with talent and athleticism.
The strength of the Bucks is as obvious as their weaknesses.
The Greek monster at the core of the family has not found the best position for him, Kidd is eager to train him to become a real seven-foot point guard, but this is unrealistic.
Moreover, the cultivation process also made the Greeks' once soft external touch disappear.
This is definitely a crime caused by Kidd. When he was young, his three-pointers were not good enough. Therefore, when he was cultivating young people, he felt that "bad three-point shots were not good" was not a fatal matter. After all, with the Greeks' talent, if he could really transform into a point guard, he would be misplaced when playing anyone. Even if he couldn't become a point guard, he could become a spider insider with the ability to hold the ball and respond.
As a result, the Greeks were sanctioned by 76ers in the first game.
Siakam, an inside player with similar talents to Antetokounmpo, although the Greek number one, his figure is enough to cause interference.
As long as Siakam could not stand it, the 76ers would immediately attack.
This was what the Greeks expected. Once the opponent was attacked, he could use the huge vision brought by his height to send the ball.
But the 76ers have been guarding against him for a long time. Two old monsters, Wei Xia and Kobe, one is at the peak of athletic talent, and the other has no speed, but his consciousness is close to the monster. One game caused Antetokounmpo to make 6 pass mistakes.
While Wei Xia and Kobe joined forces to block the Greeks' passing route, on the other hand, they also used individual defense to make Parker score in the whole game.
"The 33-year-old wish is still the strongest defender!"
"In my opinion, this year's dpoy is still wish!"
As a second position, Wei Xia has been selected into the DPOY several times before. His defensive ability among defenders, just like Chamberlain's score-making ability and Bird's show-off ability, are recognized as the first in history.
The Bucks lost in the first game.
Moreover, this is a tragic defeat with no hope.
Antetokounmpo's own limitations are too great. The 76ers' wings and inside combinations are almost all prepared for James and Durant. Now they are used to deal with him, which is somewhat a bit like a killer.
The wing combination of James and Durant can be said to be the first wing lineup in history. In order to block the defensive weapons formed by the first wing lineup in history, it is naturally not reasonable to fail to deal with Greek monsters that are still in the germ stage.
The Greeks and his coaches also had the dream of winning.
Wei Xia’s supporters were in a much better mood.
From Wei Xia's data, we can see that the Bucks are much stronger than the Raptors.
Wei Xia is no longer as waterskiing as she was when she was fighting the Raptors.
If you have an attitude, you can tell by looking at this data.
After James' Journey to the West, the East was basically dominated by the 76ers, while in the West, the Lakers and the Warriors competed.
It was basically the Western Conference Finals that there was some suspense.
It is beneficial to let the Warriors compete with the Lakers first. No matter how strong the Lakers' wing is, it is difficult to face the Warriors as easily as playing against other teams.
This is a bloody battle that is likely to be in the sixth or seventh game before the victory or defeat will be decided.
If the 76ers want to watch the show well, they have to clean up other competitors in the east as soon as possible.
