readx; After the Raptors won the Bulls and overtook the Celtics in one fell swoop, they sat in eighth place in the East by virtue of 0.5 wins. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, there are 2 games left in the regular season, and the Raptors' position is still unstable, and in the last two games, the Raptors still have to deal with it seriously. However, it is already the end of the season, and the last two opponents of the Raptors, the Pistons and the Bucks, have already determined their position in the East, and the last few games are no longer important to them.

For the sake of the playoffs, both the Pistons and the Bucks will definitely arrange bench players to play on the bench in the last few games, on the one hand, to recharge the team's main players, and on the other hand, to give bench players who have not played much throughout the season a chance to exercise.

In this case, Xu Yi decided to change his goals.

The day after the game with the bulls, Xu Yi arrived at the training hall early in the morning, holding two specially made cardboards in his hands.

Xu Yi pasted these two pieces of cardboard on the wall of the locker room, at this time, there were already players arriving at the stadium one after another, preparing for a day of training, they looked curiously at Xu Yi pasting these two pieces of cardboard in the corner, and then several people came around.

But at this time, Xu Yi had already finished his work, and he clapped his hands: "Hey, guys, sit in your place, I have something to say." ”

Hearing Xu Yi's words, a group of people scattered again and sat in their places.

"This picture is the current Eastern Conference standings, and we can see that the first place in the East is the Pacers, the second is the Nets, the third is the Pistons, and the fourth is ......" Xu Yi turned on the projection, enlarged the two pieces of cardboard, and began what he was going to say. And we're currently seventh, and behind us is the eighth-place Knicks, and they have a game to play tonight, and if they win, they'll be one win ahead of us and seventh, and if they lose, they'll be the same as the Celtics, and they'll remain eighth. ”

"So, my thinking is that we're going to grab seventh, and even though the Knicks only have two games left, and we only have two games left, I think we have to work hard as long as we have a glimmer of hope."

"It's a lot of benefits for us to be seventh, first of all, we can avoid the Pacers in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and the quality of the Pacers, you should also know that although we have beaten them twice, there was a lot of luck in those two games. In contrast, the Nets, who are second in the East, are a better opponent, they have a record of less than 50 wins, and they are only in front of the Pistons because of the war zone, so it can be said that the Nets are not a notch team compared to the Pacers and Pistons, although they have Jason Kidd, but in comparison, they are easier opponents to beat. ”

'So, we're going to get seventh, and the second point, for us, to get seventh, that's a new goal for us, we have to give it our all in the last two games, we're not secure our playoff position yet, with the goal I believe we can play better!'

Xu Yi said a lot, and his words are summed up as to grab the seventh, whether it is to avoid the Pacers in the playoffs, or to be able to have a new goal, and put himself wholeheartedly into the last two games, which is a very helpful thing for the current Raptors.

And the other cardboard, which is written on the Knicks' opponents in the last two games and the Raptors' opponents in the last two games. The Raptors' final two games against the Pistons and Bucks are both wantless teams, and with the Raptors in such good shape, they should be able to win both games.

And the Knicks' opponents in the last two battles were the Hornets and the Cavaliers, and the Hornets were okay, and they had no desires. But the Cavaliers are different, the Cavaliers have no idea about the playoffs, but they have other ideas, and this idea is LeBron James, they want to make LeBron James play a better game, so what Xu Yi expects is that LeBron James can play a better game.

As for the Hornets, if they can win against the Knicks, it's obviously better.

On the evening of April 12, the Celtics lost again, and they appeared to have collapsed at the end of the season, this time against the Hawks, a team from the bottom of the East. According to ESPN, Paul Pearce slapped the TV in the home team's locker room at the North Shore Garden Arena after the game, apparently dissatisfied with the team's recent performance, and perhaps Celtics management will have to make a change after this season.

The other news didn't make the Raptors happy, the Knicks won, the Hornets really saved their strength in the last few games, Byron Davis only played 27 minutes, and as for Jamal Magloyer, he didn't play.

The Knicks won, and the gap between the Raptors and the Knicks is still 0.5 wins, but Xu Yi doesn't have time to pay attention to the Knicks' game at this time, because he got the news that the Pistons have departed from Detroit, and on the plane they were on, Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace were not found!

Xu Yi was so excited that he was about to scream, Larry Brown was really face-saving, he rotated Chaunci Billups and Ben Wallace last time, and this time he rotated Rasheed Wallace and Chaunci Billups, and if he wants to come to the Pistons, among the players who go to the away court, they will not really use their best to play this game, and the Raptors are right this time.

On April 13, there were only 4 NBA games played, the Mavericks played at home against the Grizzlies, both teams are strong teams in the West, and both have a record of 50 wins and 30 losses, which can be described as a strong matchup, but both sides rotated almost all the main players in this game. The Lakers played against the Warriors at home, one is a super team in the playoffs, the Lakers with F4, and the other is the Western Bad Team, and the Lakers also rotated most of the main players in this game.

The Suns played the Clippers at home, both teams were bad teams, all of them didn't attract much attention, and at the end of the season, there were no games to play below, so they didn't rotate the main team, and the main team fought hard for four quarters, and finally ended with the Suns winning.

The last game is the Raptors vs. the Pistons, and Xu Yi heard the news before the game, not only Chauncey Billups and Rasheed Wallace will not play, but even the other three of the Pistons Five Tigers will not play as starters!

The release of the Pistons was already so obvious, and the Raptors naturally wanted to take this victory into their pockets, but the Raptors didn't work hard, they just worked a little harder, maintained their advantage on the court, and finally won this game that was originally considered difficult.

The Raptors won, at this time they, like the Knicks, have one game left, and the top eight rankings in the East have stabilized, and no one knows that the Raptors, who were originally aiming for eighth, have quietly set their goal on seventh in the East.
