On November 24, the Suns returned to their home court for a few days to rest, and then defeated the Pacers, Mavericks, Pelicans, and Spurs one after another. has achieved a wave of 4 consecutive wins, which has brought the Suns' record back to the first place in the West, and has also caused heated discussions among countless experts and fans, after all, experts believe that this is the true strength of the Suns after the Suns' two consecutive defeats.

On December 3, the Suns went to the Raptors, who are currently ranked second in the East with 14 wins and 4 losses, the Raptors played the third place in the East last season with a group of young players, and the team continued to strengthen the roster in the offseason, renewing Lowry, Patterson and Vasquis, trading for Louis Williams, Nogueira, James Johnson, signing free agent Jordan Hamilton, in addition, the team lost Novak and Salmons. Just when many expert fans thought that the Raptors would cause great trouble to the Suns, Li Mojie was powerful!

In terms of salary, the Raptors rank fourth in the league in terms of salary as a team, behind only the money-burning Nets, Knicks and Clippers. In terms of player salaries, the newly renewed Lowry has an annual salary of $12 million, DeRozan has a salary of $10.1 million, Amir Johnson has a salary of 7 million, and the team's salary of around 6 million also includes Vasquith, Fields, Hayes, Patterson and Louis Williams. The salary of the team is $76.84 million.

Raptors starters: Lowry, DeRozan, Amir Johnson, Patterson, Valanjonas.

Suns starters: Gordon, Middleton, Lee Mojab, Marcus, Gobert.

The Suns' plan was to defend against the Raptors' outside offense, sending two mobile Marcus partners with Gobert and the extremely fast Capela off the bench.

Gobert jumped the ball to win and the game began.

Gordon passed the ball to Li Mojie, stood 70 degrees on the right side and waited for the opportunity, Li Mojie took the ball in the middle and formed a one-on-one with Amir Johnson.

Since the NBA began to prohibit high school players from going straight to the NBA in 2006, Amir Johnson, who was selected in the second round of the 2005 draft, became the last high school player in the NBA, although this person is 206cm tall and weighs 240 pounds enough to fight against Li Mojie, but he is too slow, although Li Mojie is only 2 cm shorter than him, but in front of the audience in front of the TV and the fans present, he does not feel that the two are of similar height at all, only feels that Li Mojie is flexible like a guard, I saw him dribble a few cross-step dribbles to shake Amir's center of gravity away, and then easily stepped back to score a three-point shot!

The Raptors attacked, the Suns began to mark, Li Mojie defended Johnson alone, defended near the restricted area, and put two steps away, this Amir Johnson averaged 0.9 three-pointers per game last season, with a shooting rate of 30%, Li Mojie retracted the interior line to make up for the defense in time, even if Johnson wanted to shoot, he could also defend it in time.

The Raptors passed a few times, and the ball went to DeRozan's hands, DeRozan is also a person who doesn't shoot much three-pointers, so Middleton outside the three-point line didn't shoot at all, DeRozan really didn't shoot, he used his speed to try to eat Middleton, but he only took a few steps under the basket and met his junior brother Li Mojie's supplementary defense, at this time DeRozan was already at the end of the crossbow and had to force his shot, and Li Mojie directly gave him a big hat!

After the Raptors served, there was not much time to attack, Lowry forced a miss, Valanjonas as a big center, rebounding did not have a season double, and Gobert? He was mainly off the bench last season, averaging 9.5 rebounds per game in 26.4 minutes per game, and this season he mentioned starting, and the data is out of control, and he is currently averaging 11.2 rebounds per game with the honor of the rebounding king!

Gobert grabbed the rebound and gave it to Gordon, the Suns battled, Gordon passed to Middleton, Middleton dribbled to the middle and transferred the ball to Li Mojie on the left side, Marcus squeezed Patterson to the basket and cut to the basket.

Lee Mojie passed the ball from the top of Johnson's head to Marcus at 45 degrees, and the latter took the ball and jumped up and scored with one hand!

The Raptors attacked, Lowry broke through with the ball after blocking and dismantling, and was followed by Li Mojie's defense, Lowry couldn't give the ball to Johnson, thinking that he could bully the small guard with his height and back, but although Gordon was only 193cm, he weighed 215 pounds, and his lower limb strength was amazing, and Johnson was not good at back playing, so Johnson, who couldn't play, took the ball and passed it out of the periphery, DeRozan was close to Middleton, and he couldn't shoot comfortably, so he dribbled two steps and then found his teammates.

After passing a few times, Lowry singled out Li Mojie, broke through the frame and forced the shot to be interfered with, and the ball missed.

Marcus got the rebound, and the Suns fell into a positional battle. This time, Lee Mojie received the ball on the left side and drew DeRozan's attention to the low post on the left side.

Marcus took the ball with his back and leaned against Patterson, forced a turn to the baseline, and scored a backhand basketball.

Patrick Patterson, as a Rockets veteran, still has strength, that is, he is a big forward with shooting ability, a space-type No. 4 position, able to open up space, and withdraw the interior line for Lowry and DeRozan to break through, but this person's defense is really ordinary, and the rebounding is even worse.

The Raptors' offense, still initiated by Lowry, singled out Gordon with the ball, stepped back and made a jumper, and finally broke the deadlock.

The Suns attacked, Li Mojie started the feint breakthrough by stepping up, and after deceiving Johnson to retreat and defend, the brake dry pull-out jumper was successful again, and it stands to reason that Amir's height and body should play the No. 4 position, and he is too sluggish in the No. 3 position, Raptors head coach Casey also knows this truth, but since trading Rudy Gay, the No. 3 position has become a weakness of the Raptors, and the No. 4 position can remove the interior space type of power forward Patterson is obviously more suitable, So Amir Johnson was driven to the shelf to catch up with the number three position.

The Raptors' offense didn't have any tricks, but Lowry switched to one side to block and dismantle, Valranjonas pulled out, Lowry faced Gobert and forced a breakthrough to the basket, Gobert followed on the side, the long arm covered too much area, he couldn't shoot, went around and passed to his teammates.

Several passes were as fast as 24 seconds, DeRozan's emergency stop-and-go jump shot missed, and Li Mojie got the rebound and launched a fast break directly.

Casey shouted anxiously on the sidelines, asking the Raptors to stop Li Mojie, looking at him, he looked like he couldn't wait to go on the court to block Li Mojie, but it was easy to say that it was difficult to do, Li Mojie easily threw off Lowry with a back luck, and went straight to the basket with one hand to split the dunk!

The Raptors asked for a timeout, and Albert praised: "The Raptors who played by the Suns at the beginning were forced to make substitutions, and Li Mojie was in a hot state as soon as he started, and it seems that he is going to score high points again in this game!" ”

Eddie Johnson said: "Yes, although the Raptors have skyrocketed after trading Gay and reached third place in the East last season, there is still a gap between East and West. "The two commentaries are very thorough, the defects in the No. 3 position still have a great impact on the Raptors, but the obvious problems are very difficult to solve, because the Raptors' salary this season is already the fourth in the league, where is the excellent No. 3 position without salary space?

After returning from the timeout, Patterson pulled out the perimeter to draw the defenders and Lowry hoisted the ball to Valanjonas. Valranjonas singled low on the left and leaned on Gobert to turn and hook the ball in the middle.

The Suns immediately responded, Gordon and Li Mojie played blocking and dismantling, Li Mojie played Lowry in a misplaced position, the height difference between the two was 21 centimeters, and Li Mojie didn't say a word and directly pulled out the three-point line.

This trick is also what the Suns coaching staff learned from the Heat, team basketball combined with individual superstars, which is the ultimate key to opening the door to the championship; And the best way to connect superstars with teamwork is the blocking and pick-and-roll tactics - blocking and pick-and-roll, which is the most fundamental content of basketball. On the stage of the finals of the 12-13 season, the Heat achieved the hegemony of the defending championship around James's blocking and dismantling, especially in the tie-break, this tactic can be said to be through.

The blocking between James and Wade is the killer feature of the Heat team, which has won the opportunity for both of them to play misalignment, and the Suns are even better, Gordon and Li Mojie have the ability to shoot three-pointers and mid-range shots, so the blocking and demolition of these two people is more lethal!

Then Li Mojie played well, cutting down 45 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, clocking out for more than 4 minutes in the third quarter, and the Raptors hardly caused any trouble.
