The Legend of Small Steel Cannons in the NBA

Chapter 235 Consolidating the Fifth
After Kyle sent Jessica away, the gossip tabloids became popular again, claiming that the contemporary sweetheart stayed at Kyle's house and spent a good night together.Even the dishes for Chinese food are not spared, written clearly and vividly.

At the same time, the mainstream media also reported yesterday's battle for attention.

"The best rookie contest, Kyle beat Paul! ""Black 3 minutes, Kyle stepped forward at the critical moment" "Who is the rookie king this season?"The answer is Kyle Lowry" "Kyle withstood the pressure and the Raptors ended their three-game losing streak"

And so on, it has received a lot of attention, and the coverage seems to be quite strong.One game is not enough to explain anything, but Kyle has already embraced the best rookie, which is no surprise.The reason is not just the data, but in this direct dialogue, the media that chooses to vote has already tilted Kyle infinitely.Comprehensive suppression on the court, this is recognition and even more affirmation.

The Raptors won this game, and they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.During this period of time, their pressure was too great. Up to now in the regular season, it is basically possible to judge which team is capable of competing for the playoffs.Now every game must be fought to gain an advantage, which is more conducive to dealing with other teams' efforts in the second half.As for Kyle and Bosh, only by retaining their playoff spots can they continue their public relations All-Star starters, otherwise it will be difficult to be convincing.

The next day, they played against the Bulls at home. The Raptors wanted to avenge the previous week, but the Bulls were struggling in the ninth place in the Eastern Conference. They hoped to beat this competitor again and enter the playoffs again.

In the first quarter of the game, it was difficult to distinguish between the two sides.Kyle took the lead in breaking through the middle distance to get the first drop of blood. Gordon was also not to be outdone, and also had a mid-range turnaround jumper!
Bosh came back and shot a three-pointer, it was short!Jamal scored from the basket.At this point in the game, the two sides suddenly strengthened their defenses, fouled, fought, and hit the iron. The scoring drought lasted for 4 minutes, and no one could do anything about it.

It was Kyle who broke the deadlock. With the help of double-high double pick-and-roll, he entered the penalty area, took off and was tapped by Chandler, and made two free throws. Of course, there is no doubt that he made both free throws!
Off-site offense and defense Hinrich also scored a three-pointer from the outside line. Peterson turned around and took the ball from Jamal, and hit a three-pointer!
Gordon broke through and scored, and Luol Deng responded with a three-pointer again.It's not over yet, Bosh also started to show off when he came back, and he also hit a three-pointer!

It rains non-stop!Ben Gordon tries too, and the ball bounces into the hoop.

Where it begins, it ends.Seeing that everyone was playing so fiercely, Kyle raised his hand from outside the three-point line and shot, but it turned out to be hard.

What was even weirder after that was that no one scored anymore. They entered a deadly loop and couldn't get out. The basket seemed to be against everyone, so they didn't get in!No entry!Just don't go in!
It wasn't until the substitute came on the field that the frozen situation was broken again.At the end of the first quarter, the Raptors trailed by 17 point at 18:1.This is the first time since Kyle joined the Raptors that he scored so low in a quarter, and Kyle is also happy off the court!It seems that the substitutes are much better than the main players.

The rotation of the second quarter is over. As soon as it comes up, Kyle carries Hinrich on his back and scores! 2+1!Send points!
Gordon shot another three-pointer, this time it was not so easy to die, no!But Chandler was fierce at the basket, grabbed the offensive rebound, pulled up the dunk on the spot and succeeded!

Joey, the three-point shooter, also shot a three-pointer!middle!
How did Nocioni behave here, missing all three-pointers and three-pointers, and the fourth one continued to go up, and finally made it?not easy.

Everything shows that the game is back on the normal track, and the audience is watching happily.The iron tide came suddenly again, the backs of the hands of the main players.Fighting and fighting, their mutual thinking is that if I don't score, you can't even think about scoring. No one made a shot in the sports game, only free throws to increase points, but the fouls were indeed fierce.

With 5 minutes left in the second quarter, Kyle broke through and flew to the basket, and was greeted by a big hand. His brow bone was broken by Chandler!It can only be dealt with temporarily.After Kyle's end, the style of the game changed suddenly. Calderon, a short three-pointer, can also send the ball into the basket. What a ghost!

In fact, when Calderon played in Europe, his three-pointers were not bad, but in the NBA, he currently only hits 28%, which is even worse than Kyle!It may be due to the poor geographical location, which caused his hand feeling to be left there and forgot to bring it!
The Bulls didn't improve here, Calderon slipped across, and killed another carbine in the penalty area, and there was also a high throw!
Now Skiles couldn't sit still and quickly replaced Chris Duhon.This guy also lived up to his expectations, came up and circled twice, and made a high jumper!

And in the next time, the guys who are the main force should be iron or iron, Sam made a decisive decision, waved his hand, and entered the rotation time ahead of schedule.Skiles was not slow to react and did as well.

Such a substitution was really effective, and the substitutes on both sides fought fiercely!

At the end of the half, the Raptors led the Bulls by 39 points at 37:2. Kyle scored 9 points on 3 of 9 shots, and also had 3 assists and 4 rebounds. ,nothing to say.Because someone was more miserable than him, Bosh only had 6 points on 1 of 3 shots and 5 rebounds.

The shooting rate of both sides is very low. Here we are talking about the main lineup of both sides. No one can exceed 45% shooting rate. The highest is Gordon, 7 shots, 3 goals, 42.5% shooting rate, not low!But definitely not high.

During the intermission, the coaches of both sides emphasized defense in unison!When neither side feels good, only by defending harder can it be possible to win.This game is extremely important to both sides, anyway, it is more important than the Hornets game, how to explain?

First of all, look at the record in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors have 76 wins and [-] losses, and they are still fifth in the Eastern Conference.The Wizards are also [-] wins and [-] losses, but because they were beaten by the Raptors, they can only feel wronged!ranked sixth.The seventh is the Pacers. They played one more game than the Raptors, with a record of [-] wins and [-] losses.Next is the Bucks, who have [-] wins and [-] losses, temporarily ranking eighth.Coincidentally, the Bulls are also [-] wins and [-] losses. They have recently experienced a five-game losing streak, and they only ended the losing streak in the last game. Among them, they lost to the Bucks, and they handed over their qualification for the playoffs.The tenth is the [-]ers. Iverson's violent performance has been rewarded. They are currently [-] wins and [-] losses. The playoffs are no longer out of reach.

In such a situation, how could the Raptors not try their best?If they lose today, their record will become [-] wins and [-] losses, the same as the Bulls, but they are killed by their opponents twice, then they can only be second to the Bulls!The playoffs have also become precarious.If you win!It was another scene, with [-] wins and [-] losses, and the fifth position in the Eastern Conference was once again consolidated.

If you look at it this way, the importance of this game is self-evident, win!Although it can't be done once and for all, it can also sleep peacefully.lose!Then it will be miserable, Sam will definitely not be able to sleep, Bosh may not be happy, and Kyle will be very depressed.The audience will be upset, and the pressure will increase by tons. Losing to competitors is undoubtedly the most disadvantaged.

The second half was turbulent, with all kinds of weird fouls, boring games, full of physical confrontation, you beat me, I hug you, the anger came up, it was very intense.

Under constant collisions, shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, some players were gradually fouled out. First of all, Joey was the first to say goodbye. He became a cannon fodder, and then Chandler was fouled again by Kyle. ,alright!Another fuck off.Then Jamal!The inside players really suffer in hand-to-hand combat. They have to defend and fill up. They are the final candidates for outside players to break through and face directly, so they are always the ones who get hurt.

It's not over yet, Nocioni, the best iron king of the game, also fouled and left the field. He only hit a three-pointer and failed to help the Raptors to the end.

The current lineup on the field is Kyle with four fouls, Peterson with five fouls, Bosh with three fouls, Reggie Evans, who just played, also with two fouls, and Smith with three fouls.The Bulls are not much better. The offensive arrow Gordon has made five offenses, which means he is a bit timid.Hinrich committed four offenses, Deng committed three offenses, and Darius Sangueira and Osella Harrington, two insiders who replaced them, also committed three offenses.The intensity of this competition can be imagined, in addition to body collision, it is body collision!

The game has come to this point, both sides are desperate!

Kyle also tried his best. The Bulls are different from other teams. They play tough and are willing to make contact and fight physically.The Raptors prefer to shoot and pass strategically. Except for Kyle, everyone else likes to play floating!As a result, it has now fallen into the opponent's rhythm and fallen into the current situation.Kyle also felt more strenuous, and encountered more defensive pressure!
In fact, the overall strength of the Raptors still has an advantage, no matter the main force or the substitute, but unfortunately they are not familiar with this kind of intensity and have not slowed down, just like the last game when the substitute played to the extreme.

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game, the Raptors had a 70-point advantage at 65:5 and still had the ball.

Kyle was holding the ball at the top of the arc, cruising slowly, and didn't hit hard again. Bosh pulled it out and blocked it. There was a slight gap. Kyle made a decision in a few tenths of a second and made a three-pointer!The ball dangled into the net!

When the Bulls came back, they disrupted the Raptors' defense and formed a wave of dislocations. Gordon used the pick-and-roll to kill in, and Kyle went around to catch up and force the opponent to stop.Then give outside, reorganize.In the end, Gordon came, still the same old routine, with a pick-and-roll attack, Kyle reacted faster this time, and stood on the inside early.Horseback archery projectile.Gordon couldn't stop the car, and he rushed towards Kyle, who fell to the ground.

Whistle!Offensive foul!Gordon refused to accept it, and he had to get out if he sat down.But the theory goes nowhere, because the fact is that he knocked Kyle head-on!

So far!The Raptors are on the mend!
Come back Bosh fires in threes!Got it!

Hinrich broke through and gave it to Deng, who was down, and the latter made a layup.This was their last score in a sports game. After that, they were beaten helplessly, unable to attack and attack, and unable to defend.

Kyle made a breakthrough pass and Smith made a high jumper!

Hinrich broke through the fadeaway jumper, iron!
Bosh singles, no breakthrough layup!Make it up by yourself, and hit it again!
Sangueira's mid-range jumper is outrageous, and Evans is holding his foot!
Kyle made a breakthrough inside pass, and Evans also had a dunk!

A wave of flow directly destroys the opponent!
With a tough performance at the last moment, the Raptors won the game with difficulty. Of course, the final score was very different, but the Raptors will not think it is easy.

86:71, the score is fixed, pack your bags and leave!The fifth place in the Eastern Conference has been consolidated, and Jamal can finally rest assured to have fun again.

Kyle made 17 of 7 shots and scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. He is still very comprehensive. If the shooting is not so strong, it will be more perfect!Bosh scored 19 points, went crazy at the last moment, scored 10 points, and added 11 rebounds. He completed the task perfectly. If 18 of 6 shots improved slightly, it would be even more perfect!Peterson 12 points, Smith 10 points, this is all the Raptors who scored in double figures.

The Bulls' Gordon had 16 points, Hinrich had 11 points and 5 assists, Deng had 13 points, and the others didn't score in double figures.

After the game ended, they went to Cleveland non-stop, and they met again in less than five days.This time they finally have a story.Kyle and James talked again.

"Welcome him here, I think he will leave crying." The one who said this was undoubtedly Kyle, and James officially issued the gauntlet.

"In addition to being able to walk, he is also very talkative." Kyle did not name him, but everyone knows who he is.The reporter passed the words to Kyle. He did not remain silent. Choosing to fight back is undoubtedly more appealing to people. People also expect them to dedicate another wonderful game, no matter on or off the court!There is also the issue of status, they all belong to the league's popular stars, and Kyle must make a gesture to show that he is at this height.

"It's hard to imagine that a person's character can be so paranoid. Is he qualified to say this? I suggest that the league punish him." James was very annoyed that he was still dragging him around.

"He belongs to a glass heart. When you poke it lightly, it feels very tough, but if you smash it hard, it will shatter to the ground. This is him!" Kyle gave his opinion again.

"Let's see the truth on the court! I don't need to respond, let alone his crazy biting." The reporter's words came, and James wanted to go crazy!
"See? He provoked the incident first, but now he speaks so innocently. I admire his face."

……

Not only are the two protagonists talking loudly, but the people of Toronto and Cleveland are also fighting a war of public opinion.Their head star is too conspicuous, the news maker, and countless fans support their head star, all kinds of pictures, data and theory, are in full swing.The status of the two of them created all of this, the bustling brocade, the stormy sky.

In the end, it even led to the discussion of the future alliance No.1.What do you think of Kobe?What does Iverson think?Anthony's psychological shadow?
