Chapter 452: The Magical Casey and the Badly Played Raptor

The 2007-2008 NBA season was a magical season.

The magic mentioned here is not just the Rockets, the Suns and the Sonics competing for the first position in the Western Conference.

The competition between the Rockets Suns and the Supersonics for the first position in the West is a fight between gods and gods.

As far as the current situation of the Rockets Suns and the Supersonics is concerned, most teams in the league have no reference value.

Even if many teams want to learn from the Rockets, Suns and Sonics, they can't do it.

But this season, there is a team in the league that can really learn from it.

The Toronto Raptors were a disgraceful team last season.

Got Yes and traded Yes, and in the end, Yes set a single-quarter scoring record, a half-time scoring record, a three-quarter scoring record of 75 points, and a rookie's highest scoring record.

For the Raptors, no team in NBA history has been worse than them.

Even the Trail Blazers who lost Jordan are far from the level of the Raptors last season.

The Blazers never got Jordan, even if they really lost Jordan and were ridiculed, it would be many years later.

The Raptors really got Yes. In the first season of losing Yes, they were slapped in the face by Yes.

The degree of swollen face is simply unbearable to look at.

The general manager of the team resigned on his own responsibility, and the head coach of the team finally dismissed get out of class because of the team's collapse.

In the end the whole team seemed to be disbanding.

And it's even more ridiculous.

After Sam Mitchell dismissed get out of class, the Raptors wanted to find a head coach, but they were rejected one after another.

But any well-known head coach is unwilling to step into the muddy water of the Raptors.

This is a place of ruin.

The current Raptors are a black hole.

In the NBA, even a team that is clearly going to be bad has many people to pick it up, but the Raptors can't find a suitable head coach in the end.

This became a joke during the offseason.

In the end, the Raptors had no choice but to find Dwayne Casey who had resigned from the Timberwolves due to infighting between old and new players.

Dwayne Casey was in the Timberwolves last season because he was unwilling to choose a side, and he wanted both the new and the old. In the end, he was dismissed by the new and old players of the Timberwolves.

This character is very good, and the head coach who always feels that anyone can be saved has become the only head coach in the entire league who has not given up on the Raptors.

Everyone thinks that as long as Yes does not retire, the Raptors, who will always be in a dead state, finally invited Dwayne Casey to be the team's new head coach.

The Raptors had a hard time finding a head coach.

It is also extremely difficult for Dwayne Casey to find the team's assistant coach after he became the head coach of the Raptors.

As far as the current situation of the Raptors is concerned, as long as they are capable and have choices, they will go if they are sick.

Casey is sick, but it doesn't mean that other people are also sick.

However, the facts prove that there are still many sick people in this world.

Nick Nurse, who coached for eleven seasons in Europe and had a hugely successful track record in British basketball, finally accepted Dwayne Casey's offer to become the Raptors' first assistant coach and lead offensive assistant coach.

Dwayne Casey and Nick Nurse may not have faced as much taunting as Durant as they built up their Raptors roster for the new season, but they were no less vicious.

These two have been ridiculed by the media across the United States as clowns who gave up their ideals and ideas for their jobs and money.

NBA head coaches are mostly business-oriented head coaches, but commercial-type head coaches also have academic ideals.

The average person really can't stand being ridiculed and fooled by the whole world like this.

After all, being a coach and a player in the Raptors now really requires great psychological endurance.

Logically speaking, facing the current situation of the Raptors, most people must have an unbalanced mentality and continue to sink together with the Raptors.

But what people never expected is that under the leadership of the "clown brothers" Casey and Nass, the Raptors not only did not sink this season, but also ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 12 wins and 12 losses!

Do the Raptors have the fourth hard power in the Eastern Conference?

Of course there are.

After Yeth's big deal was completed, the Raptors were called the future, and now they have got it. The team's overall strength once ranked among the top three in the Eastern Conference.

The record also once ranked in the top three in the Eastern Conference.

The hard power of the Raptors must be very strong.

But the key is whether it can be played out.

As far as the American media's way of playing the Raptors is concerned, their hard power, let alone the top three, even if they are the first, they can't show it.

And Casey, it took less than half a season for the Raptors to rank in the top four in the Eastern Conference.

This seems miraculous to many.

Some time ago, the entire NBA even set off a wave of learning from Coach Casey's "love and never give up" coaching philosophy.

"As long as each of us believes in ourselves, as long as each of us loves our own basketball, I don't think we have an invincible enemy."

The Raptors now have a total record of 12 wins and 12 losses.

It doesn't look that good either.

But what if the Raptors started the first ten games with 3 wins and 7 losses?

In the last 14 games, the Raptors have a record of 9 wins and 5 losses. This record is already great in the Eastern Conference this season.

The Sonics are the third opponent of the Raptors' western road trip.

The first two opponents of the Raptors' trip to the West are the Clippers and the Trail Blazers.

The Clippers and Trail Blazers have been a nightmare for the Eastern Conference this season.

When many Eastern teams came to the West this season, they came with anxiety.

Most Eastern teams came to the West this season with the intention of facing the strong teams in the West and giving up directly, just to hate the Clippers and Trail Blazers, the two softest-looking persimmons.

But what embarrasses many Eastern teams is that these two seemingly softest persimmons in the West are really not soft at all.

When I arrived in Los Angeles, facing the Clippers led by Nick Young, I really had the feeling of facing the Lakers in the previous two seasons. I really didn't know whether the cloud above my head was raining or iron tonight.

In Portland, facing the Trail Blazers led by young players such as Conley and Aldridge, there is a feeling of facing a low-profile version of the Spurs. This persimmon that looks soft is hard to bite!

The strength of the Clippers and the Trail Blazers is not that strong. The reason why the eastern team has such a big nightmare is the problem of psychological expectations.

The Eastern teams felt that these two teams were easy to bully, and after the fight, they found that they were the one being bullied.

Doesn't this contrast make people have nightmares?

Losing to the Rockets Suns Supersonics and losing to the Clippers Trailblazers, can the psychological expectations be the same?

Many teams in the league fell apart against the Trail Blazers and Clippers during their trip to the West.

But the Raptors didn't.

Before the start of the game between the Raptors and the Sonics, the Raptors had won two consecutive victories against the Clippers and Trail Blazers.

The Raptors have also become the second team to win consecutive Western Conference road trips this season.

This description is really miserable.

But it is true.

This season, the Eastern team faces the Western team. It is difficult to win a game, and the winning streak is even more difficult.

According to the record, the Raptors ranked fourth in the East are tenth in the West.

According to the record, the Celtics ranked first in the East are fourth in the West.

But in terms of strength, the Raptors, who have a record of tenth in the West, may not even have the strength of twelve.

The Celtics, who have the fourth record in the Western Conference, may compete with the Lakers, Spurs, and Grizzlies for fourth.

The West this season can be said to have achieved the legendary state of "No underdogs in the West".

In such a west, if the eastern team wants to win consecutively, it really needs some luck, and of course, enough strength.

December 17, 2007, Seattle Key Arena.

When the Raptors players played, they enjoyed deafening applause from the Sonics fans.

"Seattle fans are thanking the Raptors for sending Yes back to them!"

Seattle fans really know how to play, and Barkley in the commentary felt that he also needs to learn from these Supersonic fans.

As the most shameful team in the NBA in the past two years.

Raptors fans booed and jeered everywhere they went.

Even in their home court, the Raptors have never received applause from their fans.

Sending away the Yes that belonged to us just like that.

We exchanged the Yes that belonged to us for a bunch of such garbage.

We absolutely do not recognize them as Raptors players!

According to ESPN's interview with Canadian Raptors fans, most fans said that as long as the Raptors' record cannot surpass the Supersonics, they will never recognize the Raptors who abandoned Yes!

"Now the Seattle miracle created by Seattle in the NBA should have belonged to the Raptors' Toronto miracle, the Canadian miracle!"

"It's all fucking Colangelo, it's all fucking Rashard Lewis, it's all fucking Bargnani, they made us lose our heroes!"

"Even if Yes doesn't play even one game for Toronto, he will always belong to Toronto, and our hearts will always belong to Yes!"

"Yes has no feelings for Toronto? You guys are talking nonsense. If Yes had no feelings for Toronto, he would have scored 75 points against the Raptors in three quarters, nailing the Raptors to eternal shame? This is a love-hate relationship." Performance! Yes loves Toronto like a tide!"

Raptors fans are crazy right now.

In the NBA, fandoms like the Sonics and Thunder are directed at the enemy.

Only the fanaticism of Raptors fans is directed at themselves.

And this is why so many expert media believe that the Raptors have to wait until Yes retires at least if they want to rise.

As long as Yes is still in the NBA, the Raptors will never be able to surpass the Sonics.

Toronto fans will never fall in love with the Raptors and the Raptors who made them sad as long as they see Yes sweeping the NBA.

People are the enemy of the country!

The Raptors are truly an enemy country, and there is no one to rely on, including their own fans.

Compared with the current Raptors, the Celtics and Bulls are really nothing.

At any rate, the Celtics and Bulls still had their own fans to rely on, and anyway, they still had their own cities to rely on.

As long as there is support and support behind you, even if there are enemies in front of you, you don't need to be afraid.

Raptors, it's really nothing.

In such a crashing environment, the Raptors did not collapse under the leadership of Coach Casey, and still tenaciously reached the fourth place in the Eastern Conference. This is indeed surprising and moving.

Ye Si has also heard about the Raptors this season.

Ye Si had also heard about Coach Casey, and it was Guy who beeped him.

"That guy is a nice guy, but I hate nice old guys like that!"

"Such a guy should get out with Ricky Davis and the others!"

There are many head coaches with different personalities in the NBA, but coach Casey is still a minority.

Even when the entire Timberwolves have exploded and new and old players can't wait to start a game directly, they can still implement the basketball concept of "no one less".

Unmoved by the boos and ridicules all over the world, he can implement his basketball concept of "love and persistence".

This is a pretty solid guy.

"We're being thanked by the Seattle fans."

"We can all hear what the thanks mean."

"These applause, like those boos in the past, don't hold us back, they just move us forward!"

"The applause is a series of beautiful and difficult obstacles, waiting for us to conquer!"

"Boys, don't forget why you are here, not because of your humbleness, not because of your disgrace, the reason why you can stand here and compete with the best players is because you are the best players !"

"Guys, remember all the hard work you guys put in to be the best?"

"Don't forget your love and persistence for basketball!"

"When you lift up the NBA championship trophy one day, you will know how insignificant the applause or booing is today."

"This is not chicken soup for the soul. Chicken soup for the soul will only paralyze you, but what I hope is for you to rise up!"

"Standing up is not about winning or losing, and we don't care about winning or losing when we stand up. As long as we have enough love for this road, as long as we persist in going down, no matter how difficult the walk is, we can reach the best side!"

Raptors head coach Casey and his fanatical Raptors have been a magical spectacle in the NBA this season.

Under the crazy applause and ridicule of the audience, they can still cheer and howl without changing their expressions. Not only Yeth and the Supersonic players, but even Barkley in the commentary stand are stunned.

"Didn't I come to the Amway Group's internal swearing-in meeting?"

"Is this the same demoralized Raptors from last season?"

In front of the TV, many fans who watched the Raptors game for the first time this season were fascinated.

They are waiting to see Yes humiliate the Raptors in this game.

They love watching Yes humiliating the Raptors.

They like to slap their faces like this, and keep slapping their faces.

They like to put a few more feet on an already slushy Raptor.

But is this raptor muddy?

Can a muddy team cheer on the road after a 90-125 loss of 35 points?

"Congratulations, you have finally crossed the biggest obstacle, and you have regained the courage to fight the devil!"

Yes and the Sonics players are really seeing this for the first time.

"Aren't these guys crazy?"

crazy?

The old Nelson was also looking at the Raptors players who were manic after the loss with surprised eyes.

crazy?

Or self hypnosis?

Old Nelson looked at Yes who was also surprised beside him.

This kid has ruined a team that should have been strong.
