Injuries are an important factor that affects a team's winning percentage. The Raptors lost a lot of games in March www.biquge.info and it was not unrelated to the absence of Christie and Curry.

Christie, in particular, is the best player on the Raptors' perimeter defense, responsible for the opposing scorer every game, and if he is there, it will be difficult for Eddie Jones to score 32 points on high shooting.

At this time, Yang Rui was faced with a choice, and the team doctor suggested that Christido should be rested and return to the playoffs. It is possible to return to play early, but there is a possibility that the pubic muscle injury will recur.

After thinking about it, Yang Ruisi decided to let Christie continue to rest, and the playoffs are the key. Hardaway, Hill, Barkley and countless other tragic cases prove that going into battle with injuries does not end well.

Recently, the Knicks have also had a striking example.

Ewing, who already had a knee problem, increased his playing time to compete for first-round home-court advantage, and sprained his knee in a game against the Pistons on March 27 for a backcourt rebound.

Ewing's exit was edited out by the fans, accompanied by sad music, and played in slow motion.

Van Gundy had a broken egg on the sidelines, regretting it. His mood was like he was about to be made into a terracotta army, and he helplessly watched his lover in red jump into the sea of fire. (Is Ewing Gong Li in the Qin Warriors?) ）

On April 2, the Raptors host the Pacers.

This month, the Raptors have played the Pacers twice, one against the Heat, which is a suspenseful game, and the other games are easier, and they have finished playing the strong teams in the West.

The two sides were evenly matched in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, the Pacers bench power forward Sam Perkins had a convulsion and hit four three-pointers in a single quarter to help the team widen the margin to 20 points.

At the beginning of the second half, Perkins hit two more three-pointers, 6-of-6 shooting, and the maximum margin between the two sides reached 25 points.

The veteran Perkins is 39 years old, and the only highlight performance of the whole season has been met by the Raptors.

However, the Pacers didn't have to be happy for long, and Yang Rui sent Boykins, Maddy, Carter, Jhomey-Jones, and O'Neal Jr. to play and run, and the gap was reduced to just six points before the end of the quarter.

Boykins has been a key factor, as he plays fast breaks, blocks and pick-and-rolls in positional battles, and can break through the Pacers' interior defense. In order to prevent the pick-and-roll, starting center Schmitz only played 17 minutes.

O'Neal Jr. and Carter took over the game in the final quarter, Carter broke through sharply, and O'Neal Jr. played efficiently with his back. The two scored 11 and 10 points respectively in a single quarter, leading the team to complete a 109-104 comeback.

This game greatly boosted the team's morale, and then faced the Hawks, Bulls, Cavaliers and other weak teams, and the Raptors easily won six consecutive victories.

Carter, Maddy, O'Neal Jr., Billups, and Miller have increased their playing time, playing about 35 minutes, and any two people are in good shape, plus role players can win games.

Ryan Bowen, who hasn't played much all season, has also done well, with Grant Hill defending the Pistons and Jim Jackson doing well.

On the 14th, the Raptors beat the Pacers again.

Boykins started with a career-high 25 points and five assists. Schmitz, a 224CM high school forward, became a defensive weakness, and the Pacers' starting point guard Mark Jackson shot 0-of-6 and didn't score a point, with only 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

The 35-year-old veteran Jackson is not fast enough to prevent Boigins, and his shooting is too poor.

The Pacers lost 77-102 in two starters.

After the Raptors won seven in a row, everyone believed that they were definitely going to break the record, and there was only one strong team left for the Heat to play.

On the 16th, the Raptors defeated the bottom Bulls 106-84.

On the 18th, they defeated the Heat, who lacked Tim Hardaway, 103-97 on the road, breaking the Bulls' regular season record record by one game ahead of schedule, and fans around the world were shocked.

On the 19th, the opponent in the last game of back-to-back was the Magic, and the Magic, who had lost the hope of the playoffs, chose to give up, and the main team was rested, giving the Raptors a victory in vain.

As a result, the Raptors ended the regular season with a wave of 10 consecutive wins, with a 74-8 record.

All sports media covered the home game.

"In the anti-sky season, the Raptors broke the record of the Bulls!"

"This Raptors team is destined to be remembered by history, and their dunks, fast breaks, passes, and three-pointers all captivate fans. The Raptors are expected to continue to pull off miracles in the playoffs. ”

"Many people say that the Raptors play softly, and the data shows that they lead the league with 478 dunks in a single season, and they are the most dunkable team in the league. The Raptors emphasize fast breaking, and in addition to three-point shooting, passing the ball and cutting are also their specialties. ”

"The Raptors averaged 115.8 points per game, ranking first in the league in offensive power, and Yang Rui won the offense."

The 2-8 places in the East are the Heat, Pacers, 76ers, Hornets, Knicks, Pistons, and Bucks.

The Pacers have won 4 more games than the Heat, but they are in the Central Division with the Raptors, and they can only be relegated to third according to the rules, and they will face the Knicks in the first game.

The Knicks finished sixth in the East, and their rotation of injuries prevented them from gaining first-round home-court advantage.

9-15 are the Celtics, Magic, Cavaliers, Nets, Wizards, Hawks, Bulls. The Bulls finished bottom for the second year in a row with just 17 wins.

In the West, the Lakers finally achieved a 67-15 record and ranked first.

The 2-8 places are the Jazz, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Suns, Timberwolves, SuperSonics, and Kings.

The Jazz trail the Trail Blazers by four games and are also in second place because of the division title, and the Trail Blazers played poorly in the second half due to player injuries, only 59 wins, and will face the Timberwolves in the first round.

9-14 Mavericks, Nuggets, Rockets, Grizzlies, Warriors, Clippers.

The Rockets finished 11th without Francis, and history changed.

Michael Dixon, a 14th pick in the first round in '98, stayed with the Rockets and played all season, averaging 18.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.

In Yang Rui's previous life, he only played a good game for one season after transferring to the Grizzlies before being seriously injured for a serious injury, and then suffered a serious injury for two consecutive seasons, and in the 02-03 season, he chose to retire prematurely because of a tendon injury that was too serious to fully recover.

Now, Tomjanovic has a game plan for him, and he has excellent physical qualities, can shoot with sudden shots, and has shot 41.6% from three-point range this season.

The Grizzlies and Nuggets have improved from last season, but the Clippers are as bad as ever, and after selecting Olawokandi and Odom, they are about to usher in the next high-pick rookie.

The stats of the regular season have been confirmed, and O'Neal averaged 29.7 points per game to win the second scoring title trophy of his career.

Hawks center Mutombo became the rebounding leader, averaging 14.1 per game.

Suns Jason Kidd is back-to-back assist leader, averaging 10.1 per game.

The Heat's Alonzo Mourning is back-to-back block leader, averaging 3.7 per game.

The steal king is Eddie Jones of the Hornets, averaging 2.7 per game.

Experts predict the playoffs, and the opponent in the first round of the Raptors playoffs is the Bucks, who are not weak in attack, and the defense is average. The winner of the second round will be against the 76ers and the Hornets, although the two teams won the Raptors once in the regular season, but the overall strength is obviously inferior, and it is difficult to upset in the playoff game of 4 of 7 games.

Not surprisingly, the Raptors have locked up the Eastern Conference Finals!
