Chapter 760: The Raptors Who Lost Everything and O'Neal Who Picked the Fruit!
On December 16, after the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Clippers, the Seattle SuperSonics' record also became 16-10, and because on the same day, the Houston Rockets lost to the Nuggets 108-116 at home, and the Seattle SuperSonics' record rose from eighth in the West to seventh in the West, and on the same day, the Timberwolves, who were back-to-back at home, also lost at home, losing to the Cavaliers 80-103 at home.
The Cavaliers' road trip to the Northwest is quite huge, the Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Seattle SuperSonics, these are the three opponents of the Cavaliers' road trip to the Northwest Division, and the strength of the opponents is not weak.
The Cavaliers and O'Neal took out the Timberwolves with a thunderbolt as soon as they came up, and O'Neal and the Cavaliers' intention was quite obvious, that is, to build momentum for the Cavaliers and the Rockets' Christmas War!
Now the media across the United States has focused on the Seattle SuperSonics and the Lakers, the Seattle SuperSonics and the Heat, Yes and Kobe, and Yes and James.
As a 'former teammate' of Kobe and James, watching the whole world hype Yes and Kobe, Yes and James, O'Neal is not angry.
Why can't the shark Yao battle have such attention!
My big shark is not convinced!
The knight and the big shark now have a sense of going against the sky.
Aren't you hyping up these people's showdowns?
I'll push it all the way to see if you're embarrassed or not!
The Cavaliers' record this season is really domineering.
No one will believe it when they say it, but after beating the Timberwolves, the Cavaliers have a 20-4 record!
Now the Cavaliers' record is no longer third in the East, but second in the East and second in the league!
I'm afraid that when the Big Five of the Heat were formed, they never dreamed that their biggest competitor this season would be the Cavaliers.
No matter how big the gap between the hard power of the Cavaliers and the Heat is, the current records of the two teams are indeed close, and the Heat are only one win ahead of the Cavaliers.
It can be said that the Cavaliers' record is so domineering now, and the most embarrassing thing is LeBron James.
Especially if the Heat's record is surpassed by the Cavaliers, I'm afraid that James Black, who is drowned out by Ibaka Black, who has no voice, will come out again to make waves.
It's fair to say that just as the Seattle SuperSonics can't fall out of the top eight in the West, the Heat are under pressure to definitely not fall below the Cavaliers in the rankings.
O'Neal and the Cavaliers' strong performance right now has shocked many people, but this can also be regarded as a side help for the Seattle SuperSonics.
After the Cavaliers' big win over the Timberwolves on the road, the Timberwolves' pursuit of the Seattle SuperSonics has slowed down significantly.
However, for the Seattle SuperSonics, although the Timberwolves' pursuit seems to be slowing down, the Seattle SuperSonics themselves have no way to really relax, and the Seattle SuperSonics are also going to play against the Cavaliers.
And in the future, the Seattle SuperSonics schedule looks to be the most demonic in the entire league!
The Cavaliers, who have the second record in the league on December 21, the third in the league on December 23, the new No. 1 team in the West, the Lakers, the No. 1 team in the league on December 25, and the Heat team with the strongest hard power in NBA history.
With these three opponents the ground, even if the Seattle SuperSonics want to relax, they can't relax.
According to the national media now, the Seattle SuperSonics' Christmas schedule is the most terrifying Christmas schedule in NBA history, and in this Christmas schedule, the probability that the Seattle SuperSonics can win is less than 10%, which means that the probability of the Seattle SuperSonics losing three times in a row is more than 90%!
This is even worse than the previous three customers in the southwest!
It can be said that as Christmas approaches, the whole United States is immersed in a Christmas atmosphere, but Seattle and SuperSonics now really have a feeling of black clouds crushing the city.
Even if the current Seattle SuperSonics are ranked seventh in the West, they really can't afford a wave of three consecutive defeats!
On December 19, 2008, after a three-day break, the Seattle SuperSonics hosted the Toronto Raptors, the third-to-last team in the East.
The Toronto Raptors, though considered the league's unluckiest team for the past two seasons, sent the Yes they already owned to the Seattle SuperSonics for the so-called present and future.
But after the struggles and absurdities of the past two seasons, this team has completely lost everything this season.
With former team boss Bosh leaving in anger and Rashad Lewis being sent away from the SuperSonics, the Toronto Raptors lost their present.
And as the Boston Celtics continue to soar, the future they traded from the Boston Celtics is really just the future, and it's a distant future.
Now, this team, which has lost its present and future, can only watch the grief and anger of the Bagnani who traded Yes in the team.
Now the mood of Raptors fans is sad and angry, real sad and indignant.
The team's fierce operation in the summer of 2006 ended up almost equivalent to Yes in exchange for Bagnani and Chris Bosh himself!
What do you think Raptors fans think?
Bagnani came to the Toronto Raptors with a very good performance, from averaging more than 12 points per game in the first season to averaging 21 points per game this season, it only took three seasons for Bagnani to become a star player who can average 20+ points per game.
This kind of performance is fully worthy of his position.
However, such a performance is definitely sorry to exchange Yes for the value of the player!
He only scored 20+ points in this rotten Raptors in his third season, and Yes has never scored less than 20+ points in every game in his career!
Not even this season has fallen below 30+!
It's a loss to fight with Yes, which makes people want to cry, not to mention that the team also hitched a ride.
If Yes had been left in the first place, Bosh would have been unable to leave!
Wouldn't it be better to stay with the Raptors as the second leader of the championship team than to go to the Heat to be the third leader of the championship team?
Even who is the third boss of Bosh and Ben Gordon has not yet been clarified.
In short, the fans of the Raptors are really uncomfortable now, and this season, the performance of the Raptors can be said to have completely nailed the Raptors to the most shameful pillar of shame in the NBA.
Of course, just as uncomfortable as Raptors fans is Raptors head coach Casey.
Coach Casey played the self-deceptive Amway spirit in the Raptors last season in order to rebuild the Raptors' spirit and fighting spirit.
With the massive special approval of Bosh and the angry scolding of the Raptors after his departure, his Amway strategy of luring players into deceiving themselves and paralyzing themselves certainly didn't work.
Last season's Raptors, under his paralysis, were one of the most scrappy teams in the league.
This season, the fighting spirit of the Raptors has completely languished after being punctured by Bosh.
The current Raptors look like people who have languished after using stimulants, and they really feel like they have no medicine.
If it weren't for the fact that the current Raptors are indeed a puddle of mud, as long as people who pursue a little fame are not willing to come here to muddy waters, he would probably have been out of class a long time ago.
In the game with the Seattle SuperSonics, when the Raptors played, the SuperSonics fans who watched the scene still gave them very huge applause and cheers of thanks when they played.
The Raptors players who were so grateful and cheering couldn't even lift their heads.
Not only in the face of the Seattle SuperSonics, but also in the applause and cheers of the Seattle SuperSonics fans, they were just as uncomfortable when they went to play elsewhere and were booed and ridiculed by other teams and yes, and even on their home court, they were not happy.
It can be said that Chris Bosh's accusation against the Raptors has completely pierced the protective color of the Raptors and presented their ugliest and most shameful side to the world.
"As long as Yes is in the NBA, the Raptors are completely useless......"
On the Toronto Raptors' bench, Casey and Nurse looked at each other and sighed.
For the Toronto Raptors, Yes did have quite a lot of emotions before.
But those emotions all evaporated after the Seattle SuperSonics won the championship last season.
The current Raptors are just an ordinary NBA team for Yees and Seattle players.
The current Raptors have no fighting spirit, and they want to be strong without strong men, which is actually the best warm-up opponent for the Seattle SuperSonics in the face of the toughest Christmas schedule in history.
The game against the Raptors was really a pretty easy game.
In this game, Ye Si easily scored 30 points after only 20 minutes of play, clocking out of work.
At the same time, in this game, the Seattle SuperSonics starters and substitutes all got a lot of warm-up opportunities, and even Ingles, a player at the end of the bench, played more than 10 minutes for the first time in his career and scored 10+ points for the first time.
In this game with the Raptors, Nelson Sr. is to cope with the warm-up games of the next three death-to-death games, and he can come to observe the warm-up games of the other players on the team.
The final observation result was also satisfactory to Nelson Sr., and in this game with the Raptors, the number of players in the Seattle team who scored 10 points reached 10!
10 players in double figures in a game was a real surprise to Nelson Sr., and it was something that surprised a lot of other pundits in the league.
"Who would have imagined that after being robbed by the Raptors, the most rubbish team in history would become a team that can have 10 players score double-doubles in a game after less than three years!"
"Although the Toronto Raptors are a fish belly, although the Toronto Raptors are the biggest joke and shame in the NBA, the Toronto Raptors are still an NBA team!"
After the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Toronto Raptors 151-100 at home on Dec. 19, a lot of things got the same thing.
Many people don't need to make any reservations about the evaluation of the big deal three years ago, and the winners and losers of the big deal of the century are completely clear.
On December 21, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics will start the Devils' three-game home game at home after beating the Raptors at home.
"It's finally getting started!"
Sitting in the media seats of the Key Arena, many Chinese reporters and coconut fan reporters are now looking forward to it and nervous.
The Cavaliers, Lakers, and Heat, these three teams are really strong!
Two days ago, on the day of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Raptors, the Cavaliers won 115-98 again on the road, and this time against the Denver Nuggets, who are now fourth in the West and first in the Northwest!
In that game two days ago, as strong as Anthony, he was crushed to death by O'Neal and the Cavaliers.
Anthony's impactful style of play, which is invincible against many teams, really doesn't work very well in front of O'Neal in front of the Cavaliers.
In the end, Anthony was forced to have no choice but to change back to the previous kaleidoscope style of play, the kaleidoscope is a kaleidoscope, but it has not been used for a long time, it is indeed a little bit handy, this iron also played a lot, 24 shots 8 hits, with 24 shots to score 23 points, this efficiency, in the past year Anthony is really quite rare.
In the end, the Denver Nuggets also lost to the Cavaliers at home.
After the Cavaliers beat the Nuggets on the road, O'Neal and the Cavaliers' anti-sky journey will also face one final opponent, the Seattle SuperSonics.
As long as this game beats the Seattle SuperSonics, O'Neal and the Cavaliers will be able to draw all eyes and focus.
"Yes, after this game, Yao and I will be the protagonists of this Christmas fight!"
Looking at the dead fat man laughing in front of him, Ye Si didn't say anything.
This dead fat man is really good at this.
He has a natural sense of smell when it comes to attracting media attention.
The Seattle SuperSonics and the Heat Lakers game, he didn't actually do anything, but Kobe Bryant and James have been warming up and releasing the Seattle SuperSonics and Lakers, Seattle SuperSonics and Heat games in recent interviews.
It can be said that James and Kobe Bryant are working hard and raising the heat of these two games.
But obviously, when the game between the Cavaliers and the SuperSonics started, the heat of the game between the Cavaliers and the SuperSonics had already surpassed these two games.
Unless the Seattle SuperSonics can beat the Cavaliers in this game, the two games between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, the SuperSonics and the Heat will become the nutrients for the SuperSonics and the Cavaliers, and the game between the SuperSonics and the Cavaliers will become the nutrients for the Cavaliers and the Rockets, and the game between the Cavaliers and the Rockets will become the nutrients for O'Neal to regain the No. 1 center and re-ascend to the MVP throne!
The biggest winner of the Christmas War, coupled with the fact that his career is about to reach 30,000 points, and the story of LeBron's betrayal supporting the rise of the Cavaliers, no one can compete with O'Neal for the position of the biggest winner this season.
Even under O'Neal's operation, those who were looking forward to the showdown between Yes and Kobe Bryant, and Yess and the Heat are now looking forward to the showdown between Yes and O'Neal, and want to see how lively O'Neal will be after picking the biggest fruit.
Anyway, since it's a matter of trouble, of course it's better if things get bigger and bigger!
"This fat man!"
In front of the TV, James and Bryant were almost simultaneously gritting their teeth at the dead fat man who picked their fruit.
