Sam Amick's bet incident has passed, and in Toronto, reporters no longer dare to casually call out Xu Yi, Sam Amick has provided them with negative teaching materials, and Xu Yi's life has quieted down.

Of course, what he needs to focus on now is the next game, there are 6 games left before the end of the regular season, the Raptors and the Celtics in seventh place in the East are 3 wins, and the Knicks in eighth place in the East are 2.5 wins away, hope is still slim, but now the Raptors are full of confidence, they even won the Pacers, what else can't win?

For the Raptors, they just need to do their best now, and it doesn't matter if they can make the playoffs or not, the important thing is that the Raptors have shown the demeanor of a strong team in the final stretch of the season. Xu Yi said these words, Xu Yi felt that when it came to the decisive stage of the last 6 games, he had to lower the pressure of his players, if they were still so stressed, it would obviously be not conducive to the final battle.

The Raptors' next opponent is the Cavaliers, their direct rival, after 5 games, the Cavaliers have gone from leading the Raptors by 2.5 wins to 0.5 wins behind the Raptors, this battle is about the battle for ninth place in the East, and naturally it is about who is closer to the playoffs, for the Raptors, this battle must be won.

The Cavaliers are not a bad team, at least Xu Yi thinks so, a team with LeBron James, Carlos Boozer and Zay Delunas Il Goskas, how bad can it be?

This season, Carlos Boozer can average 15 points and 11 boards per game, and Zay Delunas Ilgoskas can average 15 points and 8 boards per game, such an interior combination can be said to be the top three in the league, but it is such an interior combination, plus LeBron James, who can get an average of 20+5+5 per game, this Cavaliers can only rank tenth in the East until now!

Paul Silas isn't a poor head coach, but why did the Cavaliers play like this? In fact, it comes down to LeBron James.

When the little emperor arrived in the NBA, he got Michael Jordan-style treatment, for him, the Cavaliers expelled Ricky Davis, who had 20+ contributions in the previous season, and at the same time let the progressive Carlos Boozer play for the immature LeBron James, and the Cavaliers' record was affected in this way. Rookie LeBron James kept making mistakes, and there were a lot more games below the level than above the level, and they lost a lot of games they shouldn't have lost because of it.

After careful research, Xu Yi formulated a tactic against LeBron James, restricting LeBron James, regardless of the Cavaliers' two major internal killers.

And the first quarter of this game completely entered the rhythm of the Raptors, and LeBron James couldn't find the basket position at all under the focus of the Raptors. And even so, LeBron James still tightly holds the ball in his hands, so that the Raptors naturally have no suspense to grasp the situation on the court.

And the Cavaliers are obviously used to the ball in the hands of LeBron James all the time, and this season the Cavaliers actually don't have much idea about the playoffs, and their first priority is to help LeBron James play beautiful statistics.

In this way, the Raptors expanded their lead step by step, and LeBron James also slowly brushed to 20+5+5 under the ultra-low shooting rate.

In the end, the Raptors beat the Cavaliers by 30 points on the road, and the Raptors got the victory they wanted, while the Cavaliers got the data they wanted, and both sides got what they wanted.

The Raptors' victory also helped them further widen the gap with the Cavaliers, and the difference between the two teams became 1.5 wins.

Not long after the Raptors won the Cavaliers, they got several good news in succession, first the 76ers lost to the Hawks, and the gap between them and the Raptors was completely widened. Then Xu Yi got the news that the Knicks lost again, and the Knicks lost to the Pacers by 18 points, so that the difference between the Raptors and the Knicks was only 1.5 wins!

There are 5 games left, chasing 1.5 wins, the Raptors' chances are suddenly very big, it can be said that in the next 5 games, the Knicks must win 3 games, for the current Knicks, it is still very difficult, after all, their current state is extremely bad.

However, the test of the Raptors is still to come, and the day after the Cavaliers, the Raptors returned to their home court to welcome the challenge of the Pacers.

In yesterday's game, the Raptors won the Cavaliers by a big score, and the Pacers also won the Knicks by a big score, Xu Yi took over the second meeting after the Raptors, obviously the Pacers are going to avenge the previous loss, and the Raptors naturally have to go all out, the playoffs are just around the corner, and this game obviously cannot be lost. And Xu Yi also learned the lessons of the last game and discharged the Raptors' regular starting lineup.

However, the Raptors' luck in this game is obviously better than that of the Pacers, from the beginning of the game, Xu Yi has been lamenting his good luck, the reason is very simple, the five players who started the Raptors are in surprisingly good condition, and the state light above everyone's head is red!

Xu Yi was overjoyed, and the Raptors also suppressed the Pacers all the way to achieve a huge lead. In Xu Yi's view, this may be the help of the Raptors' continuous wins to the team during this time.

The momentum of the Raptors won the last strong matchup with the Pacers, and the record rose to 39-39, a 50% win rate, and the Raptors are getting closer and closer to the playoffs.

That night, Xu Yi paid special attention to several opponents who were chasing him, and the two games after the Raptors and Pacers game, the Knicks playing the Bulls and the Celtics taking on the Heat away, both of which were the games that Xu Yi focused on.

Toronto's nights are quiet, which is a bit out of the mood for a big city, but the home dressing room in the heart of the Canadian route is bustling with activity.

"Well done! Dwayne! ”

"Lore! The Celtics lost! Ha ha! ”

The Raptors players are already dancing wildly, and the Raptors who have just played a vicious battle with the Pacers have been stimulated by the good news one after another. The Celtics lost, losing to Dwayne Wade's fatal blow and a three-pointer. Wade used the way he wasn't good at killing the Celtics to help the Raptors get close to the top eight again.

The Cavaliers, who continue to lose, have completely withdrawn from the battle for the top eight, while the Raptors have directly entered the battle for the top eight with their recent winning streak and the unstable form of the Celtics and Knicks. Although the news of the Knicks' win soon came, for the Raptors, today's good news is enough, they are 1.5 wins away from the Knicks, and 1.5 wins away from the Celtics, and there are 4 games left in the game, and the Raptors still have a chance!

Xu Yi turned over the schedule again, the Raptors' opponents in the last four games were the Pistons, Bulls, Pistons, and Bucks, obviously the schedule is still not very favorable to the Raptors, two matches against the third Pistons in the East, and the last battle against the sixth Bucks in the East, the Raptors' schedule is obviously very dangerous.

However, in Xu Yi's view, opportunities are always reserved for those who are willing to work hard, and as long as the Raptors work hard, there will definitely be opportunities. Look at the Celtics' schedule, they still have 5 games left to play, Spurs, Hornets, Hawks, Heat, Hawks, obviously not so easy, and Xu Yi flipped through the Celtics' recent record and found that the Celtics have lost two in a row, their state is very bad, and they will go to San Antonio to challenge the Spurs in the next game, obviously the Celtics have little chance of winning this game, this is another opportunity for the Raptors.

The Knicks, who are also only 1.5 wins ahead of the Raptors, have 3 games left in the end, and the opponents are the Wizards, Hornets and Cavaliers, and the schedule is relatively easy, but for the Raptors, there is now a better Celtics to chase, and the Knicks can't take care of it.

The Celtics still have 5 games to play, and in these 5 games, they must win 4 of them, otherwise they will be overtaken by the Raptors, but take a look at the opponents of the Celtics' last five games, the Spurs, Hornets and Heat, these three teams are obviously not what the Celtics can win if they want to!

Of course, the situation on the Raptors' side is also critical, but now Xu Yi has somewhat ignored his own situation, and Xu Yi has won 7 consecutive victories since he took over the Raptors! Such a good state has made the Raptors less nervous and worried about the next games, and they are confident enough to win the last four games!

For the Raptors, the current situation is very good, for Xu Yi, removing the word agent, obviously it is only a matter of time, regardless of whether the Raptors can make the playoffs, Xu Yi believes that the Raptors management will not be stupid enough to let himself go to class, after all, he led the Raptors to play a wave of 7 consecutive wins in a bad state!

Xu Yi is relaxed here, naturally some people are unhappy, Judd Pearson, the president and fifth shareholder of the team, he is very unhappy now, he didn't expect that this very young and arrogant Chinese actually brought the Raptors up, and won 7 consecutive wins, and the team is only one step away from the playoffs!

This is inconceivable in Judd Pearson's mind, and at the same time, he doesn't want to see this scene in his heart, at this time, the struggle for power within the Raptors' shareholder meeting has reached a white-hot stage, Judd Pearson is naturally on Roger Bell's side, and Xu Yi is obviously from Larry Tearson's nanny, so Xu Yi is naturally not treated by Judd Pearson.

But now, the Raptors are getting better and better, and Judd Pearson can only helplessly watch Xu Yi slowly ensure that he stays in office.
