Chapter 208 [Zero Second Lore, Sixteen Consecutive Victories]

Yang Rui was interviewed by two media outlets, both scheduled in the afternoon, each with half an hour, in a café near the apartment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the face of the Chinese media, he mainly talked about basketball and commented on several Chinese players.

"Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong both have the strength to play in the NBA, and I hope to see them in the NBA. I think in the future, Ba Xing and Yao Ming will also land in the NBA, and China has many excellent centers. ”

CCTV5 reporters are very happy, but also worried about the domestic situation, there is strength, and it is useless for the Basketball Association not to let people go.

A Canadian CBC radio reporter interviewed Yang Rui, who was more inclined to his life, and asked a few basketball questions.

"What are your hobbies?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "I have many hobbies, watching movies, exercising, playing video games, tasting food, riding a bicycle with my girlfriend, etc...... I also like to write a journal on Facebook and share my experiences with my friends. ”

The Canadian reporter asked: "When you made a cameo appearance in 'Friends,' you and Thomas showed that you were the spokesperson for the Minions. On Facebook's official website, the two Minions are indeed your last name, is that true? ”

"Really, I think that's fun."

This is not an advertisement, and Yang Rui did not deliberately hide it, and some fans on the Internet have already pointed out the truth. "Jerry Young and Hollywood child star Scarlett Johansson know each other very well, and the Facebook owner, Thomas Bentley, is the handsome blonde guy who lives with him, so Minions use the names of the three of them."

However, netizens don't care about these truths at all, only a few people who pay attention to Facebook don't care, the number is not many, the IT industry has now developed to a bottleneck, and most investors have a wait-and-see attitude, because Facebook has not shown extraordinary profitability.

After Thanksgiving, the Raptors flew to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz.

The strength of the Jazz team has dropped significantly, especially on the defensive end, Stockton has long been gone, and after trading Hornacek, the new Alvin Williams is not much better, but his physical fitness is slightly stronger, and his experience cannot be compared.

DeBron has been the highlight of the Jazz's season and has been a two-guard along with Howard Easley off the bench to share the offensive pressure on Malone. He was not injured again after leaving the Raptors, averaging 12.1 points and 2.1 assists in 27 minutes per game.

The Raptors outscored the Jazz in attack power, winning 106-87 comfortably, winning 13 in a row.

Jeff Hornacek's wife, Stacy, brought her daughter Abby to the game, not far from the players' box.

Yang Rui always felt a chill in his back, and every time he turned around, he could see Abby staring at him condescendingly across the three rows of seats. Her death glare is spotless and otherworldly, which can't help but remind Yang Rui of a certain "tourist" in a future monster movie, and her expression is not changed, which is simply unscientific.

After the game, Yang Rui couldn't help but ask: "Jeff, is it my delusion?" Why do I feel like Abby is glaring at me the whole time? ”

Hornacek smiled wryly: "I went to play in the East, and I had to go home all season, and she said you were a bad person and cheated me out." Don't worry, children are not sensible. ”

Yang Rui was sweating wildly, her expression didn't look like she was ignorant, but like she wanted to come down and PK him at any time. Fortunately, the three rows of seats were an insurmountable ravine for her when she was just starting elementary school......

Back-to-back, the Raptors defeated the Warriors 106-88 on the road, winning 14 in a row.

O'Neal Jr. exploded in '97 as an 8-pick rookie in the first round, making 10-of-13 shots and 8-of-8 free throws to finish with 28 points and 5 rebounds. The latter had only 8 points and 7 rebounds.

Carter had 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and received a lot of applause on the road, which embarrassed the Warriors management. Even if Jamison averaged 19.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season, he couldn't compare to Carter at all.

On the last day of November, the Raptors faced a strong challenge.

The Hawks started the game with 5 wins and 9 losses, and they were in full swing against the Raptors.

Former Trail Blazers boss and swingman Isaiah Ryder was traded to the Hawks, averaging 36 minutes per game and improving his stats to 20.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He looked like a star again, single-handedly suppressing Carter in the first quarter and scoring 13 points.

Mutombo also had an amazing offensive end, scoring eight points on 4-of-4 shooting.

Jim Jackson, who was packaged by the Trail Blazers, also became a starter here, with his stats improving to 16.7 points, 5 rebounds and 2.8 assists, and shooting two three-pointers in a single quarter.

The Hawks led 36-23 in the first quarter. The Hawks continued to take the initiative in the second quarter, with rookie Jason Terry hitting two three-pointers in a row.

Terry was a 10th pick in '99, and as a point guard, he was not good at handling the ball, but scoring on his own, breaking through and shooting well.

Unfortunately, Hawks coach Lenny Wilkens was the kind of "traditional point guard" when he was a player, and it was not pleasing to see someone like Terry who couldn't pass the ball, and he was not assigned the right tactics, and Terry could only play freely. Not being reused doesn't mean that he doesn't have the strength, and Terry occasionally smokes like a star.

Maddie made 0 of 5 shots defended by Roshawn McRiod, who is 203cm tall and weighs 100kg, and hit iron frequently.

Yang Rui didn't have much impression of this person, but it turned out that Maddie had a hard time picking him out.

Not impressed, because the rookie Mike Leod, the 20th pick in '98, retired due to injury after only three seasons. A graduate of Duke University, he was physically fit and defensive, but he was injured every season after entering the league, peaking at 9.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

Now he hasn't had his first serious injury, he hasn't had surgery, he's a great role player.

The Raptors trailed by 21 points at 43-64 at halftime.

If it is a defensive team, it can be said that it is sentenced to death. But Yang Rui let people know what an "attacking team" is in the second half, and the 21-point gap is not too big.

In the third quarter, Christie and Detreve each scored two three-pointers, Curry hit three three-pointers, and O'Neal Jr. also scored a three-pointer. The Raptors went 38-21 in the first quarter to chase the difference to just four points.

The Hawks strengthened their defense in the final quarter, and the two sides began to stalemate until the final 10.3 seconds, tied at 107, and the Raptors controlled the ball.

Yang Rui called a timeout to arrange a tactic to help Carter catch the ball and execute the last attack.

Carter received the ball and was close to losing the ball by Ryder. Ryder knew that referees generally don't easily blow fouls in the final moments to send opponents to free throws, so the defense was very big.

Carter gave the ball to Maddie when he didn't turn around. Maddie didn't make a dry jumper, but broke through with the ball after dumping and forced a three-step layup.

He relied on his height and bounce advantage to dodge Jim Jackson's block, and the basketball hit the board in a high arc and fell into the basket to complete the zero-second kill!

109-107, the Raptors made a big comeback at home, winning 15 in a row.

Maddie didn't show up at critical moments, he wasn't in good shape today, shooting 4 of 14, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.

A stunner can cover up all the shortcomings, and Maddie was sought after by the media after the game, overshadowing O'Neal Jr. with 21 points and 12 rebounds and Carter with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Raptors have seven players in double figures, but in fact, role players who can turn around and win and shoot multiple three-pointers are more important.

With a winning record in November, Carter was elected Eastern Conference Player of the Month, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, scoring 24.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block.

The Western Conference of the Month was won by O'Neal, who averaged 40.5 minutes per game, 30.2 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3 blocks. His stats are comparable to those of retired old stars, and no one in the West can compete with him.

However, Carter continues to rank at the top of the MVP list, and the MVP is selected based on the record plus data, the Raptors have better results, and Carter is not inefficient, playing 7 minutes less than O'Neal.

On December 3, the Raptors defeated the underdog Wizards 105-93, winning 16 consecutive games, tying the Knicks' opening streak set in the 97-98 season.

In the next round, the Raptors will host the Spurs.
