After a day off, the Raptors played against the Celtics at home again, winning 118-94.

Carter defended the easiest opponent and focused on the offensive end. He played 34 minutes, made 11 of 20 shots, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Pierce was lost under the careful care of Christie and McGrady. He made 3 of 13 shots, missed all 5 three-pointers, and only scored 11 points including free throws.

What also makes the Green Army depressed is veteran Hornacek. He entered garbage time early. He got a lot of playing time and dreamed of returning to the top.

He played 29 minutes, making 6 of 6 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points and 4 assists.

After the game, Yang Rui was interviewed and reiterated his goal: "This season, we have only one goal, and that is the championship! We can withstand the pressure!"

The media is more concerned about Carter, and his numbers have started to improve recently.

Yang Rui's change of tactics worked. Carter's possession of the ball increased and one-on-one duels increased. This will not affect the team as a whole and can also warm up for the playoffs.

Last season, the newcomers all understood the importance of star singles in the playoffs. In most cases, the player with the strongest offensive ability in the team will become the core of the team. There are exceptions, of course, but they are few.

It is difficult for the core of the NBA point guard to win the championship, because this means that no player in the team has a higher offensive power than the point guard. Many of the team's scoring tasks, including cooperating with the strong attack task after being defended, have to be handed over to This point guard is done.

In this era, the scoring ability of star point guards is generally weaker than that of players in other positions. The team is relatively insufficient in maintaining offensive firepower. Of course, it is not easy to win the championship in the playoffs with high-intensity defense.

The Raptors don't have this problem. Their main scorers are two swingmen. ?

The media reported the game, and the Toronto Daily said: "Carter is not a simple dunker. He can dominate the game in different ways every night, passing, breaking through, scoring, rebounding, there is nothing he can't do."

The Los Angeles Times said: "If you look at personal abilities, Carter is definitely not inferior to Jordan, and his breakthrough ability is worse, but his three-pointers are more accurate than Jordan and are very efficient. The most important thing is that he is still young."

Oakland Sports Station specially conducted a program to compare Carter with Warriors star Jamison. The data showed that Carter beat Jamison in all aspects except rebounding.

The host joked: "It feels really bad to miss Carter.

Management should resign en masse! "

The top three players in the 1998 draft were rated much higher than Carter. It was impossible for the management to give up on someone with a better rating because of Carter. Therefore, in fact, only the Warriors management was blind.

The discussion on the Internet is even more heated, and some even stupid fans of Carter believe that he has surpassed Jordan.

"Jordan can't produce this kind of data. His long-range shooting is too bad. The only two seasons in which the three-point shooting percentage was high were the seasons when the three-point line was shortened. The league specially changed the rules for him, and he was praised. .”

"Carter will definitely break Jordan's single-game scoring record in the future. If he passes less and shoots more, he should be able to score 70+ in this game."

"Is it time to change the nickname of demigod? Is there a more godly player in the league than Carter?"

Of course, more fans know that Carter is far inferior to Jordan, and comparison depends on honor.

Jordan has ten scoring titles, five championship rings, and countless personal honors. Carter currently only has one Rookie of the Year and one All-NBA Team.

When Yang Rui has nothing to do, he likes to browse the NBA section of Facebook, watching fans reply to news and attack each other, which is quite interesting. Trolls are not unique to China. There are still many fans in the United States who dislike each other.

The funniest thing is the "ancient boast". Someone listed Chamberlain's triple-double data and said that Chamberlain scored 53 points, 32 rebounds and 14 assists in that game. Carter and Jordan were both praised stars, and they were far behind compared with the coach.

What is even more exaggerated is the following reply. Someone added that the coach actually had 11 steals and 24 blocks in that game, which was the only five-double in history. Unfortunately, there were no statistics on blocks and steals at that time, so no records could be left.

Including Chamberlain's 100-point game, there was no video. At that time, the NBA was an inferior minor league and there were no live broadcasts of the game. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, the ancient boasters believed that Chamberlain, Big O, Russell and others were the best, because there is data to support it.

The Internet is a good thing. Even people who don’t understand football can discover some facts from popular science as long as they know how to surf the Internet.

If 11 steals and 24 blocks are counted as 30 rounds, plus 32 rebounds, Chamberlain's opponents would have missed at least half of their offensive shots. If Chamberlain's teammates had grabbed a few more rebounds or had steals, the opponent would probably have been making mistakes and making mistakes throughout the game. If there were no three-pointers at that time, the opponent would probably not score more than 20 points in the end.

Chamberlain also had 14 assists, which proved that his teammates scored a lot. Considering that he was a center, the defender would definitely provide assists. After all, the 76ers he was on were recognized as a strong team at the time.

You know, the list of players playing in the NBA in the 1960s did not include The Flash, Reverse Flash, Superman... not even Captain America, so the number of offensive rounds would not be ridiculously high.

If Chamberlain's 11 steals and 24 blocks are true, the score difference in this game must be more than 100 points, but Chamberlain played the entire game and was racking up statistics throughout the game. Many people think he is the strongest in history. It is so bizarre. The presence.

How valuable is Chamberlain's data?

Let's put it this way, in the 1960-61 season, the NBA had a total of eight teams, four in the West, four in the East, and 6 playoff seats.

In the 1961-62 season, there were nine teams, one more in the Western Conference, and still 6 playoff spots. This was the season when the coach averaged 50 points per game, and it was also the season when "Big O" Robertson averaged a triple-double per game. According to the information left behind, at least 5 of the 9 teams have no fighting capacity. The salary of a team composed of ordinary people is about nothing.

It wasn't until the 1966-67 season that the number of NBA teams increased to 10, 5 from the East and 5 from the East, and 8 playoff seats.

In the NBA regular season of that era, the strength gap between teams was unimaginably large, just like the 1996 Bulls and an NCAA college team playing 8 to 10 games in a single season, playing rough and tumble. After two games, the university team probably gave up resistance and everyone discussed on the court what to have for dinner and whether to play mahjong or play mahjong after dinner.

Russell, who defeated Chamberlain, and "Cardinal" Auerbach were naturally praised to the sky.

The Celtics' eight consecutive championships occurred from 1959 to 1966, with 8 or 9 teams competing for the championship. Except for the finals, the playoffs are all 3 games and 2 wins. You can imagine how many playoff games the Celtics dynasty has played in total.

With such a dynasty and such players, some people think that it is much better than the teams of the 21st century, and can steadily crush modern stars.

Well, of course some people believe this, because some people even believe that Chamberlain slept with 20,000 women, and Chamberlain himself thought it was nonsense when he was interviewed.

Chamberlain said in his own words: "I just used a random number to scare you. I thought this number was so ridiculous to ordinary people that no one would believe it..."

Of course not ordinary people can believe this. If some small newspaper wrote, "Get closer to science: Coach's free throws are actually dunks." I guess they would believe it.

Imagine that the Raptors Arena is full, and there are 20,000 people including the staff. The commander made everyone inside, from the first row to the last row, XXOO, and even the mascot was not spared. How spectacular?

There is a big difference in IQ between people.
