On April 4, the NBA announced its first award of the season. Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri was awarded the best general manager of the season for his series of operations during the offseason and mid-season.

Although the Raptors are only ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, and their record is far inferior to that of the East and West, considering that they were only at the bottom of the league last season and could not win 20 games throughout the season, and what many people think is the most important reason: they At the end of the season, they overtook the New York Knicks, the biggest loser in the Raptors' history, so they deserved the title.

It is worth mentioning that Ujiri came to the Raptors from the Nuggets just this season. Moreover, Ujiri was also the best general manager last season. This is also the first time a general manager has achieved this award. Two consecutive championships.

But this guy is indeed very discerning. Not to mention the Raptors, he also did very well in the Nuggets for several years. Especially after Anthony left the team, the Nuggets still maintained their competitiveness and entered the playoffs for many consecutive years. We even made it to the second round, which is very commendable.

After he left, the Nuggets were immediately eliminated from the playoffs. Instead, the Raptors reached the top four in the Eastern Conference for the first time in many years, which indirectly proved his value.

Winning awards and reaching the top four is considered the Raptors' highlight moment.

The fans in the North were very happy at this time, and they were even more looking forward to revenge against the Knicks in the next playoffs.

And they still don’t know how fierce a group of guys who are preparing passports are at this moment.

……

April 4, Scotiabank Arena, Toronto.

"Oh oh oh, let you entertain those local people!"

Kuwait's shot was a hit, Danny Green's breakthrough was blocked, and guard Li's first shot was even awkwardly blocked by the basket...

Previously, Zuo Li blocked Lowry's breakthrough, launched a slow counterattack in the playoffs, He Zhen dealt the card at the top of the arc, and Klay Thompson missed his first eight points of the game from the bottom corner!

It’s just one person. No one eats dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

The commentator yelled that Zuo Li needs to stand up and be more selfish because he wants to pass too few balls to us!

But Zuo Li was unmoved and still focused on passing the ball.

Playoffs: Zuo Li, guard Lee, Iguodala, Danny Green, Kuwait.

45-15 in a single quarter, and after eight quarters, they were leading by 6 points in the playoffs!

"Isn't that the seven-time championship playoffs..."

The scores were getting smaller and smaller, and the game was about to get out of control in the first quarter.

Eight points from the top of the arc!

At this time, the Raptors were not stunned and had no ability to fight back.

The Raptors don't have 19 points yet.

Fans even forget to give bad reception to the playoffs, so that when the playoff players come out, it becomes the quietest moment outside the arena.

"I can't wait to see us in such embarrassment!"

Lowry dribbled the ball and looked for DeRozan before the pick-and-roll. The woman who was the first jumper in front of Kobe tied the score with a standard mid-range shot.

The Raptors themselves were also confused. They had no choice but to attribute the problem to their relaxation before taking the lead.

First starts from both sides!

The commentators looked at each other.

Taunts like that can even change the expressions of players in the playoffs.

That also means that He Zhen needs to take on smaller responsibilities, and the lack of a seventh scorer in the team still exists.

13 points!

Why did it suddenly collapse!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, even though Zuo Li opened a gap for He Zhenshan with a explosive dunk, the brothers from Guobeijing still took the lead in their own way.

Previously, Lowry relied on opening up a gap in the last two rounds and scored points on his own breakthrough, but Kuwai's eight points popped out again.

In that state, it has not become a fact that everyone knows that the Raptors will defend Zuo Li at all costs. Although Zuo Li is very strong, he can win a few games on his own.

We led by 24 points at halftime! ?

In turn, the Raptors handled the ball casually, allowing He Zhen to directly steal the ball and get an assist. Iguodala continued to score with a slow-break dunk.

Just like that? !

For a moment, New York lost its voice, the fans were stunned, and everyone was stunned.

"Go back, New Yorker! All he will get out there is humiliation, hahahahahahaha!"

A sleeping lion has not yet awakened.

……

Lowry then assisted Rose for a breakthrough.

6-2!

Raptors fans feel that everything is going very, very smoothly.

The Raptors were completely overturned!

But in the first round, I lost the ball before it even reached me.

However, the timeout can stop our wave of losing points. Before the timeout, He Zhenshan surrendered eight eight-pointers in a row and hit 9-0 in one fell swoop. After counting the timeout, a wave of 20-0 attacks was formed.

"Yes...yes, right..."

10-4, 8-17…

People who know it think Zuo Li is worried about the game. After all, even though Kuwait, Clay and others have all returned, we have not reached our best condition after a long absence. This cannot be proven in the first game of the regular season.

However, in the first half, I found that I shouted too early.

Although Rose is not Peter Rose, as Gay's replacement, averaging 11.4 points per game still cannot complete his job.

WTF! ! !

Yes, it must be said that Shaolun City is a city with no fan atmosphere. The hot summer can't stop the fans' indifference, and the attendance rate there is also very good, especially now, after returning to the Knicks after a long absence. Si aroused the indifference of the fans, and because of the opponent, the place was filled with people early.

The Raptors were moved.

117-100…

brush!

what's going on? !

17-30 in the first quarter, 30-54 in the second quarter…

As soon as the camera turned, Zuo Li's face appeared in the camera. His face was expressive and his eyes were firm. He could see everything he had done in the past.

DeRozan was replaced again.

The seventh quarter was dominated by the playoffs, with 10 eight-pointers in a single quarter!

Yes, it’s the kind of person who knows how to see it.

Raptors: Valanciunas, Amir Johnson, Rose, Lowry, DeRozan.

In the first half, the Raptors relaxed and planted substitutes. Originally we thought that the playoffs would suddenly break out, but now it seems that we thought too little.

However, very slowly, Zuo Li assisted Kuwai, who made 5 of 0 shots in the second half, to hit his first eight points of the game.

With a huge score difference of 24 at halftime, Zuo Li scored not 30 of the 20 points by himself.

The Raptors didn't sit still.

Although everyone in the know understands that the lineup in the playoffs is not weak, the on-field condition is the most critical issue.

The playoffs are indeed done!

16 points.

That time it was Zuo Li!

That would be so comfortable!

Zuo Li can still only score stably on his own. Everyone else is in special condition. There is no more eight-point threat outside the library, so we cannot double-team He Zhen stably.

It was Zuo Li who was off the court who was not panicked, but even more confused. I still did not do as much as the commentators suggested. Instead, I still worked tirelessly to help my teammates.

DeRozan is also accurate, and Lowry's mistakes have also stopped decreasing...

When the game started and the playoffs were won by 17 points, the whole arena was in noise.

Such a performance made the commentator exclaim: "An era has come to an end!"

The Raptors were stopped!
