At the post-match press conference, Billups and Yang Rui touted each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Rui advertised the Minion Farm by the way. "Chauncey is a focused, underrated point guard, and it's hard for opponents to take advantage of him. The same is true for him in life, for example, he can always harvest vegetables on time at the Minion Farm, and we farm as a team, and no one has ever stolen his crops. ”

It became a hilarious news and was covered by a lot of media. "The Raptors' unique way of relaxing, farming together online."

Billups was in the media spotlight and manager Glenn Gruward was starting to get a headache.

Billups, Maddy, Christie, Cato, Ryan Bowen and others are all free agents in the summer, and it will be difficult to renew them all. Veterans Detreve and Hornacek are likely to retire after winning the championship, and the summer work is very heavy.

There will definitely be teams willing to offer Maddie a maximum salary. He is a restricted free agent, and once he accepts a contract from another team, if the Raptors match, the pressure on others to renew the contract will be too great.

Maddy's annual salary is over 10 million, and if he renews his contract with a mid-class player, plus role players, the Raptors' salary will reach 50 million, which is the level of the Lakers.

The only good news was that under the new collective bargaining agreement, Carter signed a four-year rookie contract, with a salary increase in 2002-03 and a two-year buffer. In short, according to this situation, if they want to keep the roster intact, the Raptors will definitely have to pay a lot of luxury tax.

The biggest sorrow of a small team is that they can't keep people, develop stars, and switch to giants after a few years of play.

No matter football or basketball, there is no way to change this, just like football stars want to go to Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United, Milan and other teams, which is a status symbol.

On the 8th, the Raptors defeated the Clippers 101-94 away.

Someone else was injured in this team, and Doug Christie came to a "one-word horse" because of a slippery floor when saving the ball...... He suffered a torn pubis muscle and will miss at least two weeks of play.

Christie was injured in this shameful way, and Yang Rui was also drunk.

On the 10th, the Raptors challenged the Kings away, and in order to avoid a sweep in the regular season, the Kings players increased their running and confrontation, and the interior strategy added guards to the basket.

Curry, who started in place of Christie, was in good shape, hitting two three-pointers in the first quarter. Unfortunately, he played two minutes in the second quarter when he was knocked out of the game by Kings backup power forward Lawrence Fonterbock with a knee injury.

In the second half, O'Neal Jr. was plagued by fouls, and Webb made a move, cutting down 25 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, and led the team to victory with Collis Williams, who had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Raptors had a chance to win, but Carter and Maddy missed a three-point shot each in the final minute to lose 98-103 and lose their sixth game of the season.

Curry underwent an MRI and the injury was more serious than expected, with a recurrence of tendonitis in his right knee and he had to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks. Tendonitis has been bothering him for years, otherwise the Bucks wouldn't let him go so easily.

The Raptors have fewer outside linemen, and Carter has to switch to playing as a shooting guard. Fringe players Ryan Bowen and Boykins also got their chance to play.

On the 12th, the Raptors defeated the supersonic with an incomplete lineup and a lack of power forward Weinbeck, and a wave of road trips finally came to an end. On the 14th, their opponent was the weak warriors, so they could breathe a sigh of relief.

On the afternoon of the 13th, Glenn invited Yang Rui to the office to discuss with him the renewal of the contract in the summer, and the boss had clearly instructed that Yang Rui's train of thought should be followed by which rookie to choose, what to make a deal, and how to renew the contract.

"Jerry, I don't want to distract you, but if you wait until the end of the season to talk about it, I'm afraid you'll have a bad deal with the Raptors." Glenn smiled wryly.

"It's okay, what's the matter?"

"At the end of this season, I think it's going to be hard to renew Maddy's contract, and if he and Carter are both max salaries, everyone else has to go." Glenn sighed.

Yang Rui had thought about this question a long time ago. Maddie will become a "big fish" in the summer, and he can go to big cities to develop, and there may be unexpected opponents in the future.

"Try to renew the contract, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. When I first arrived, the Raptors weren't fancied at all, and we're where we are today. Yang Rui smiled: "If Maddie leaves, he must renew the contract of others, Billups must stay, he has the potential to become a star." ”

Maddie is gone, not the end of the world. Extending Billups' contract doesn't have to be too big, and it's cost-effective.

Smaller teams don't necessarily fail to win the championship, but they have a lower margin for error in trades. Because you have to sign stars and make money, the boss doesn't open a charity, and you can't go crazy and don't think about business. The Spurs' model is the most worth learning, with one superstar as the core, two stars by his side, and then a powerful role player to assist.

The Raptors easily beat the Warriors at home, Jamison was injured and did not play, and he did not come to Toronto with the team, and the big brother now doesn't know how to face his former little brother.

After defeating the Magic and the Rockets, the Raptors' record is still stable, leading the Lakers, who are second in the league and have 12 losses, with six wins.

With 17 games left until the end of the regular season, the Raptors are likely to break the record, and even four losses could tie the Bulls and share the record.

It's not easy, other teams don't want to see the Raptors break the record, and they work extra hard against each other, even if they mess up the team, they want to prove their team's strength by beating the Raptors.

After beating the Nets at home to make a five-game winning streak, the Raptors lost again on the 22nd, losing 103-106 to the 76ers on the road.

The 76ers traded for forward Tony Kukoc, adding a strong scoring point and improving the team's attacking power a lot. This 76ers outside convulsion, shooting 9 of 17 three-pointers, played at a super level. And they averaged 7.8 three-point attempts per game, scoring just 2.5 goals.

His teammates pulled away to attract the defense, and Iverson stepped up to score 44 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 17-of-29 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers and 9-of-9 free throws.

A day later, the Raptors narrowly beat the Hornets by one point at home, and Eddie Jones and David Willis performed eye-catchingly, scoring 19 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists for power forward Coleman who shot a quasi-killer three-pointer 4.4 seconds from the end.

Carter didn't disappoint again, catching the ball and grabbing a three-pointer in the last attack, and hitting a dry shot to complete the counter-lore.

The stunner boosted the players' confidence in breaking the record, and they went on to beat the Timberwolves 121-106, the Cavaliers 119-96, and the Nets 113-107.

On the 31st, the Raptors lost to the Hornets 106-110 in overtime, ending their winning streak.

Without Christie, the Raptors' perimeter defense suffered. The Hornets are fighting fiercely, they are competing with the 76ers and Knicks for fourth place, and every win or defeat can determine the final outcome.

Hornets coach Paul Salas had no reservations and won the game with just eight men in the game.

Anthony Mason Jr. slashed 31 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, using experience to suppress O'Neal Jr., who only had 11 points and seven rebounds.

Eddie Jones also had 32 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals.

Carter did not fall behind in the confrontation with Jones, with 31 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. However, his teammates performed mediocre, with Maddy shooting 6-of-20 and 4-of-5 free throws to score 16 points and 10 rebounds.

The Raptors lost Game 8 and ended their March campaign with a 64-8 record.

The rest of the East has a poor record, with the second-placed Pacers losing 24 games. Carter relied on his best record and team's best stats to continue to win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award.

With the Raptors all over the world focused on the Raptors, with only 10 games left, they need a 90% win rate if they want to break the record!
