The 2007-2008 NBA season was a magical one.

The magic here is not just about rockets, the sun and supersonic are competing for the first place in the West.

The battle for the first place in the West between the Rockets Sun and the SuperSonics is a fight of gods high above.

In terms of the current state of the Rockets, Suns and SuperSonics, most teams in the league have no reference value.

Even if many teams wanted to learn from the Rockets, Suns and the SuperSonics, they wouldn't be able to.

But this season, there's a team in the league and that's really something to learn from.

The Toronto Raptors were a disgraceful team last season.

Got Yes to trade Yes, and was finally brushed up by Yes with a single-quarter scoring record, a half-time scoring record, a three-quarter scoring record of 75 points in the third quarter, and the highest scoring record for a rookie.

For the Raptors, no team in the history of the NBA has been worse off than them.

Even the Trail Blazers, who lost Jordan, are nowhere near the level of the Raptors last season.

The Trail Blazers never got Jordan, and even if they did lose Jordan and be ridiculed, it would be many years later.

The Raptors really got Yes, and in the first season they lost Yes, they were slapped in the face by Yes crazy.

The swelling of the face was unbearable.

The general manager of the team resigned at his own responsibility, and the head coach of the team was eventually sacked due to the collapse of the team.

In the end, the whole team looked like it was going to be disbanded.

And what's even more ridiculous.

After Sam Mitchell got out of class, the Raptors wanted to find a head coach, and finally they were rejected one after another.

But all the head coaches who are a little famous are not willing to wade into the troubled waters of the Raptors.

It's a place of disrepute.

The current Raptors are a black hole.

In the NBA, even if it is clear that the team is going to be bad, there are many people to pick it up, but the Raptors will not be able to find a suitable head coach in the end.

It became a joke in the offseason.

In the end, the Raptors had no choice, so they found Dwayne Casey who resigned from the Timberwolves because of infighting between new and old players.

Dwyane Casey was reluctant to take sides with the Timberwolves last season because he wanted both new and old players, and was finally dismissed by the new and old Timberwolves players.

This coach with a good personality and always feels that anyone can save has become the only coach in the entire league who has not given up the Raptors.

The Raptors, who all felt that as long as Yes did not retire, they would definitely be finished, and finally hired Dwayne Casey to be the team's new head coach.

The Raptors had a tough time finding a head coach.

Dwayne Casey has also struggled to find an assistant coach for the team after becoming head coach of the Raptors.

In the current situation of the Raptors, as long as they are capable and selective, they will go if they are sick.

Just because Casey is sick doesn't mean that anyone else is sick too.

However, in fact, it turns out that there are still many sick people in this world.

After eleven seasons in Europe, Nick Nurse, who had a track record of great success in British basketball, eventually accepted Dwayne Casey's offer to become the Raptors' first assistant coach and chief offensive assistant coach.

When Dwayne Casey and Nick Nurse set up their team for the new season with the Raptors, the two may not face as much ridicule as Durant, but in terms of viciousness, they are definitely not bad.

Both of them have been ridiculed by the media in the United States as clowns who give up their ideals and ideas for jobs, money, and ideas.

Most of the NBA's head coaches are commercial head coaches, but commercial head coaches also have academic ideals.

Being ridiculed and fooled like this by the whole world, ordinary people really can't stand it.

At the end of the day, being a coach and a player in the Raptors now does require a lot of mental endurance.

It stands to reason that in the face of the current situation of the Raptors, ordinary people must have an unbalanced mentality and continue to sink with the Raptors.

What people never expected was that the Raptors, under the leadership of the 'clown brothers' of Casey and Nass, not only did not sink this season, but also ranked fourth in the East with a 12-12 record!

Do the Raptors have the hard power to finish fourth in the East?

Of course there is.

After the completion of Yes's big trade, the Raptors were called the future, and now they have all got, and the team's overall strength once ranked in the top three in the East.

The record also ranked in the top three in the East for a time.

The hard power of the Raptors is definitely very strong.

But the key is whether it can be brought into play.

As far as the American media's approach to the Raptors is concerned, their hard power is not to mention the top three, even if it is the first, they can't give full play.

And Casey actually took less than half a season to make the Raptors rank in the top four in the East.

This is magical to many.

Some time ago, the entire NBA even set off a wave of learning from Coach Casey's coaching philosophy of 'love and never give up'.

"As long as each of us believes in ourselves, as long as each of us loves our own basketball, I don't think we have invincible enemies."

The Raptors now have an overall record of 12 wins and 12 losses.

It doesn't seem that good either.

But what if the Raptors started their first ten games with a 3-7 record?

In the last 14 games, the Raptors have a 9-5 record, which is already a great record in the East this season.

The SuperSonics are the third opponent on the Raptors' road trip to the West.

The first two opponents of the Raptors' Western tour are the Clippers and the Trail Blazers.

The Clippers and Trail Blazers have been a nightmare for Eastern Conference teams this season.

This season, when many Eastern teams come to the West, they come with trepidation.

Most Eastern teams come to the West this season with the intention of facing the strong teams in the West, giving up directly, and scolding the Clippers and Trail Blazers, the two softest-looking persimmons.

To the embarrassment of many Eastern teams, the softest-looking soft persimmons in the West are really not soft at all.

When I arrived in Los Angeles and faced the Clippers led by Nick Young, I really felt like facing the Lakers in the previous two seasons, and I really didn't know if the cloud above me was rain or iron tonight.

When I arrived in Portland, facing the Trail Blazers led by young players such as Conley and Aldridge, there was a feeling of facing a low-profile version of the Spurs, which looked soft persimmons, and it was hard to bite into it!

The Clippers and Trail Blazers are not that strong, and the reason why they give the Eastern team such a big nightmare is the problem of psychological expectations.

The eastern teams all felt that these two teams were easy to bully, and after playing, they found that they were the ones who were bullied.

Isn't this contrast just a nightmare?

Can the psychological expectations of losing to the Rockets Suns SuperSonics and losing to the Clippers Trail Blazers be the same?

Many teams in the league have collapsed against the Trail Blazers and Clippers during their Western Conference trip.

But the Raptors didn't.

Before the game between the Raptors and the SuperSonics began, the Raptors had won two straight against the Clippers and Trail Blazers.

And the Raptors have also become the second team to win consecutive Western Conference road trips this season.

This description is really miserable.

But it's true.

This season, it is difficult for the eastern team to win against the western team, and the winning streak is even harder.

According to the record, the Raptors, who are fourth in the East, are ranked tenth in the West.

According to the record, the Celtics are first in the West and fourth in the West.

But if according to strength, the Raptors, who have a tenth record in the West, may not even have twelve.

The Celtics, who have the fourth record in the West, may compete with the Lakers, Spurs, and Grizzlies for the fourth level.

This season's western region can be said to have achieved the legendary realm of 'no weak brigades in the west'.

In such a west, the eastern team really needs some luck and, of course, enough strength if they want to win in a row.

December 17, 2007, Key Arena, Seattle.

When the Raptors players played, they enjoyed deafening applause from the supersonic fans.

"Seattle fans are thanking the Raptors for sending Yes back to them!"

Seattle fans really know how to play, and Barkley in the commentary bench thinks he also needs to learn from these supersonic fans.

As the most humiliating team in the NBA in the past two years.

Raptors fans booed and ridiculed everywhere they went.

Even on their home court, the Raptors never received applause from their fans.

Sent away Yes, which belonged to us, like that.

Exchanged Yes, which belonged to us, for a bunch of such garbage.

We definitely don't recognize them as Raptors!

According to ESPN's interview with Canadian Raptors fans, most fans said that as long as the Raptors' record cannot exceed the supersonics, they will never recognize the Raptors who abandoned Yes!

"The Seattle miracle that Seattle has created in the NBA now should have belonged to the Toronto miracle of the Raptors, the Canadian miracle!"

"It's all the damned Colangelo, it's the damn Rashad Lewis, it's the damn Bagnani, it's they who have made us lose our heroes!"

"Even if Yes doesn't play even one game for Toronto, he will always belong to Toronto, and our hearts will always belong to Yes!"

"Yes has no feelings for Toronto? Are you talking nonsense, if Yes had no feelings for Toronto, would he face the Raptors with a 75-point slash in the third quarter and nail the Raptors to the eternal pillar of shame? It's a manifestation of love and hate! Yes love for Toronto, like a tide! ”

Raptors fans are feverish right now.

In the NBA, fanaticism like the SuperSonics and Thunder fans is directed against the enemy.

Only the fanaticism of Raptors fans is against their own.

And that's why so many expert media believe that if the Raptors want to rise, they must at least wait until Yes retires.

As long as Yes is in the NBA, the Raptors will never be able to surpass the supersonics.

Toronto fans will never fall in love with the Raptors and the Raptors and the players who make them sad and sad as long as they see Yes sweeping through the NBA.

Enemy country!

The Raptors are truly a nation of people who have no one to rely on, including their fans.

The Celtics and Bulls of the year are really small compared to the current Raptors.

Back then, the Celtics and Bulls still had their own fans to rely on, and they still had their own cities to rely on.

As long as there is support and support behind you, even if there are enemies in front of you, you don't have to be afraid.

Raptors, it's really nothing.

In such a devastating environment, the Raptors did not collapse under the leadership of Coach Casey, and still stubbornly climbed to the fourth place in the East, which is indeed surprising and moving.

Yes has also heard about the Raptors this season.

Coach Casey, Yes has also heard about it, and it was Guy who beeped him.

"That guy is a good guy, but I hate such good old guys!"

"Such a guy should get out of the house with Ricky Davis!"

There are many head coaches with different personalities in the NBA, but there are still a few like Coach Casey.

The entire Timberwolves have exploded, and new and old players are eager to play a game directly, and still implement the basketball concept of 'no one is missing'.

He was able to carry out his basketball philosophy of 'love and persistence' unmoved by the boos and ridicule of the world.

This is a pretty determined person.

"We're being thanked by the Seattle fans."

"We can all hear what those thanks mean."

"These applause, like those boos from the past, don't hold us back, they just move us forward!"

"These applause are beautiful and difficult obstacles waiting for us to conquer!"

"Boys, don't forget why you're here, not because of your humility, not because of your shame, because you're here to play against the best players, because you're the best players in your own right!"

"Guys, remember all the hard work you put into being the best player?"

"Don't forget your love and persistence for basketball!"

"When you lift the NBA championship one day, you know how insignificant the applause or boos are today."

"This is not chicken soup for the soul, chicken soup for the soul will only paralyze you, and what I hope is your rise!"

"Rising up is not winning or losing, and rising up doesn't care about winning or losing, as long as we have enough love on this road, as long as we persist in going down, no matter how difficult it is, we can reach the best side!"

Raptors head coach Casey and his avid Raptors are a magical spectacle in the NBA this season.

Under such crazy applause and ridicule from the audience, he could still cheer and howl without changing his face, not only Yees and the supersonic players, but even Barkley in the commentary seat was dumbfounded.

"Haven't I come to the Amway Group's internal pledge meeting?"

"Is this still the demoralized Raptors from last season?"

In front of the TV, many fans who watched the Raptors for the first time this season were obsessed.

In this game, they are waiting to see Yes humiliate the Raptors.

They love to see images of Yes humiliating the Raptors.

They like to slap their faces like this, and they keep slapping their faces.

They like to put a few more kicks on the Raptors, who are already muddy.

But is this raptor mud?

Can a muddy team cheer and shout on the road after a 90-125 35-point loss?

"Congratulations, you've finally crossed one of the biggest obstacles, and you've regained the courage to fight the demons!"

Yes and the superSonics players are really seeing a team like this for the first time.

"These guys can't be crazy, right?"

Lose your marbles?

Nelson Sr. was also looking at the Raptors players who were frantic after the loss.

Lose your marbles?

Or self-hypnosis?

Old Nelson looked at the equally surprised Yes beside him.

This kid has broken a team that should be strong.
