Chapter 987: Raptors living in the collection

The 2017-18 season ended.

Wei Xia played 78 games, averaging 26.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 9.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.7 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 55%, 45%, and 92%.

A few years ago, Curry was elected MVP with a hit rate of 180. Now Wei Xia, at the age of 33, has performed a more terrifying performance from a data perspective.

This is the era of small balls, the era of data supremacy.

In terms of efficiency, this is Wei Xia's best career stats, but his average playing time is the least in his career.

In this era of increasingly digital basketball, Kobe played 74 games, averaging 29 minutes and 20 seconds per game, scoring 22.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 assists.

He may be the direct evidence that the intensity of league games is getting worse today.

This year, Kobe has played an efficient performance that he has never had in his career: 47% shooting percentage, 39% three-point shooting percentage and 85% free throw percentage.

Previously, Kobe's best shooting percentage was the years when he accompanied the Sharks to achieve his dominance, with an average shooting percentage of 46%.

That is Kobe with the best energy and Kobe with the best athletic ability.

Kobe is now an old man who often helps his opponents command traffic on the defensive end. As a result, he has achieved the best efficiency in his career.

He proved that in a perfect system, he is still an efficient scorer when nearly half of the three-point shooting.

If he doesn't count his three-pointers, his two-point shooting percentage is nearly 49% of that.

In addition to the two of them, Cousins ​​has a stable average of 2010 years.

So, the 76ers had three players who averaged 20 points per game.

The 72-10 record looks a bit retro, reminding people of the 96 Bulls.

In the first round, they met the Toronto Raptors.

The team from the North has entered the first echelon since Kyle Lowry joined.

Unfortunately, Lowry has limited talent and DeRozan has the advantages of height and physical fitness. He likes two-point jump shots and is incompatible with this era of Popovich's old-fashioned embrace of three-pointers.

The Raptors encountered some problems this year. They originally had the strength of the top five in the East, but as they did, they went to the eighth place in the East.

This is not good news for the 76ers.

Because this Raptors are not the eighth-ranked strength in the East, although they have had the shameful tradition of entering the playoffs since the Bosh era, no team is willing to meet a team with a strength exceeding their ranking in the first round.

"I like playing against the Raptors very much. As for why, I think you guys know."

Kobe smiled before the first round of game1 started.

"I know he wants to mention his old almanac of scoring 81 points against the Raptors again." Toward the camera, Kobe may have been the muscle memory of Wei Xia's entire mouth. "Please forgive me, the older people are, the easier it is to immerse themselves in the past."

Cousins ​​is not as tactful as Kobe, nor is he "creating friction" in the team as directly as Wei Xia. He just spoke casually and made Toronto people full of indignation.

"Any losing game can be regarded as our failure." He is so crazy and does not know how to take care of his opponent's emotions.

In recent years, the Raptors have been in a very frustrated life.

In terms of lineup, they are not bad.

In terms of depth, it is the team with the best lineup in the East beyond the 76ers. Unfortunately, both Lowry and DeRozan, who lead the team, are not the dominant ones.

In the first game, in less than half a quarter, 76ers were three points like rain.

20 to 10

This made the Raptors go.

Next, the Toronto people in front of the TV had a nightmare.

Kobe scored three-pointers from the outside, and played DeRozan with a back from the low post and was obviously disturbed so that he could still shoot in the basket.

DeRozan's face looked ugly all the way.

He was beaten by Kobe, making the 76ers' wings so hard that they didn't know what the basket looked like.

The 76ers didn't need to let Wei Xia deal with him, but Esiakam, Robertson, Oubre and others took turns to serve him, which made him fall into darkness.

This season, DeRozan was trapped by family affairs and his parents were seriously ill. While he had to play games, he had to take his parents to see a doctor and ran back and forth, and he actually suffered from depression. Although there was an angel figure like Lowry, if he was constantly beaten on the court, fans' doubts and management's distrust might aggravate his condition.

To put it bluntly, DeRozan needs to fight back his anger.

Unfortunately, he failed to do it.

They had no excuses in this game, and they were beaten one-on-one by Kobe.

Kobe scored 16 points in the first half and said to the reporter: "I feel like I'm much younger."

A guy like Cousins ​​who speaks lightly or seriously is even more direct: "I wish I could beat the Raptors 82 games, and we won't lose a single game."

The two teams are fighting, and saying such defeated character is likely to arouse the disgust of fans.

But there is no reason why the Raptors are called "cute dragons". In the second half, they did not show any belief in winning.

He was 15 points behind in the first half and 25 points behind in the whole game. He was beaten from the beginning to the end by 76ers.

Wei Xia got off work after playing for only 26 minutes and got a triple-double of 181111.

"Demar looks wrong." Weisha noticed DeRozan's serious face, which was not normal. "I'm sorry I can't do anything for him on the court. We are professional players. Our purpose is to get the team we represent to win, but I will still pray for Demar and hope that everything is fine."

Wei Xia's words were considered to have picked up the character that Cousins ​​had lost.

The two sides rested for two days before fighting again.

Same venue, same opponent.

But there is a different start.

An unknown coach left a famous saying in the league: The team that attempts to defeat the upper side can only see hope when they win away games.

DeRozan may not recover, but the entire Raptors want to win, and Cousins's words angered them.

The Raptors' coaching staff activates the bench that is as long as Toronto's Central Street.

In the first quarter, Kobe, who has always liked to play the Raptors, only scored 4 points, and even made only 2 attempts. Even in the second quarter, he began to break through and score, most of the time he was still standing at the top of the arc and passing the ball to his teammates who kept cutting. Even after getting a foul on Lowry that made Casey furious, it seemed to confirm the so-called "basketball does not lie" in the roar of Tianzun, and then hit the free throw.

Things became interesting. The Raptors had to take the word "cute" on their heads with their own hands.

Wei Xia has not performed yet, and Ross is surrounded by the Raptors' iron barrel formation and it is difficult to score.
