The Raptors defeated the Knicks again at home 102 to 85.

Carter scored 23 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. Among them, he blocked Ewing in a help defense, immediately hit a counterattack, caught the ball and broke through, causing Charles to foul and scored 2+1, which must be the top five goals.

Jermaine O'Neal scored 20 points and 5 rebounds, and five players from the team scored in double figures.

Only three of the Knicks scored in double figures. Ewing scored 21 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks. He played 40 minutes and made 6 of 13 shots and 9 of 13 free throws. The shooting percentage is not high.

Johnson had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Houston had 12 points and 3 assists.

Sprewell played 40 minutes, 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 6 free throws, only 9 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

"Madman" averaged 16.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, shooting only 41.5% from the field, and a dismal 27.3% from the three-point range. Many statistics hit career lows.

The Raptors currently rank fourth in the East with 15 wins and 8 losses. Before them are the Heat with 18 wins and 5 losses, the Pacers with 16 wins and 7 losses, and the Magic with 17 wins and 8 losses.

More and more people think that the Raptors played well because Yang Rui was good at using people, and the poor lineup played amazing results.

In stark contrast are the Knicks and Van Gundy, who only ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 15 wins and 10 losses.

At the press conference, the reporter's question was directed at the Knicks. "Jerry Young, do you think the Knicks are only ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference now? What's the reason?"

"Because the Raptors have won five games in a row? If it weren't for our outstanding performance during this period, they should be ranked fourth." Yang Rui smiled.

The reporter asked: "A lot of people say you are a better coach than Jeff Van Gundy,

What do you think? "

"Leave that question to other people to judge. All I can say is that we are not a style coach."

Yang Rui has actually answered the question. Many people said last season that the Knicks won the championship because they strengthened their offense. Now it seems that he is the offensive coach, and Van Gundy can only defend.

The reporter asked: "How do you predict the final record of the Raptors this season?"

Yang Rui shook his head: "Someone asks this every game. I don't know. Just look at it. Anyway, our Raptors don't have much pressure. Making the playoffs is a success. After all, the team was last last season."

The reporter asked: "The Raptors have already beaten the Knicks twice in the regular season. If they meet in the playoffs, are you confident of winning?"

"It depends on the performance of the players on the spot. The Knicks are a strong team, and they have more experience in the playoffs. Almost none of our players have played in the playoffs." Yang Rui didn't boast.

Of course he has a clear goal, at least reaching the second round of the playoffs to prepare for the summer contract extension.

Last season, the Raptors gave him the lowest salary among the head coaches. With the playoff results, the boss must give him a substantial salary increase.

Van Gundy maintained his usual style at the press conference, faltering and hawing the past, the team's record was behind, his anxious hair was about to fall bald, and he didn't bother to say anything.

The video of Nina crying after being hit by a basketball was posted on the sports news and spread wildly on the Internet. She had a red nose and tears while eating potato chips while watching the game, which became the funniest scene of the night.

Yang Rui was a little regretful, thinking that he would not have any interaction with Nina in the future, and he didn't ask for her contact information. The child saw him twice, and his nose was broken twice, this kind of fate is bad luck, maybe it's a good thing not to see him.

What Yang Rui didn't expect was that he really served as an advertisement for Nina's potato chips. Not only Kettle potato chips, but also Ferrero chocolates also plan to find him to advertise the brand.

Yang Rui ate Ferrero on the sidelines several times before, and won the competitions. It is his habit to carry a few chocolate balls with him, but he did not take the box, and the audience could not see the packaging, so it was difficult to recognize them.

The Raptors fly to New Jersey for back-to-back games against the Nets.

Yang Rui decisively adopted a lineup rotation. O'Neal, veteran Willis, and guard Di Brown, who played 37 minutes on the field, rested in rotation.

The Nets with 4 wins and 20 losses is one of the worst teams. Coach John Calipari was kicked out by the management a week ago and officially lost his job. The general manager has also been replaced in the summer.

Assistant coach Don Casey became the interim head coach of the Nets. His task is to lead the team to win instead of being bad. The Nets' draft picks have been traded out.

Except for Marbury, the Nets have no advantage in other positions. The starting two sides can still play a dozen, Marbury, the Nets are over. Detref, McGrady, and Alvin blew up the Nets' bench.

Yang Rui boldly started Ryan Bowen and played very well. The Nets' No. 2 scorer Van Horn only scored 9 points and 4 rebounds.

Many media began to look down on Van Horn. He is too soft. Even if he averaged 21.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game this season, his help to the team is limited. As a power forward, his shooting percentage is only 42.8%. The rate is 30.2%.

Bai Bowen's performance can be called immediate combat power, and he will definitely get a contract extension in the summer.

After defeating the Nets 101 to 94, the Raptors won 6 consecutive victories.

On the 24th, the Raptors challenged the Bulls in back-to-back away games.

Without the strong team of the Bulls in the East, the strength of each team is similar, and it has entered a period of decline.

The Raptors' schedule is outrageous. They encountered back-to-back for the second time in a row, playing three games in three days. Judging from the schedule, the league didn't take the Raptors seriously at the beginning, so their games are so intensive.

The rest worked, and three of them recovered. Billups, Detref, and McGrady will take turns to rest. When playing underdogs, there is no need to be in the best team.

The Raptors easily won 117 to 84 and completely overwhelmed the opponent's defense.

Di Brown broke out, making 9 of 16 shots, 7 of 12 three-pointers, no free throws, 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Willis was also eye-catching with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Carter made 9 of 19, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

In terms of rebounds, field goal percentage, and fast break points, the Raptors beat the Bulls completely, showing a terrifying attack power.

Surprisingly, the horrific schedule of 7 games in 9 days, relying on Yang Rui's rotation tactics, the Raptors not only survived without falling out of the top eight, but also won 7 consecutive victories.

The media and people who were waiting to see the jokes between Yang Rui and the Raptors had nothing to say, and the record speaks for itself.

For example, the Bulls manager Jerry Krause, the Bulls have a poor record. He has to bear the doubts of the media and the anger of the fans. The position of the manager is no longer secure.

When winning the championship, people said that Klaus was the hero of the Bulls and had a sharp vision. Now people say that he is stingy and unwilling to open a big contract, which to a certain extent affects the rebuilding of the Bulls.

On this day, the Celtics also announced that they fired assistant coach Butch Carter.

Butch, who had ridiculed Yang Rui and the Raptors, did not come up with any good tactics for the Celtics. The Celtics, who were favored before the start of the season, are currently ranked 12th in the Eastern Conference and are always drawn out for comparison with the Raptors.

Because of Butch, even the Celtics became a laughing stock, and the management finally couldn't bear it. Considering that Butch has no real skills, his basketball career ended earlier than Yang Rui's previous life.
