On January 5, Beijing time, the Raptors defeated the Spurs 129-104 to win three consecutive wins. After this game, the Raptors and the Hornets have a similar win rate, as long as the Hornets lose one game or the Raptors win a Raptors will enter the top eight ranks in the East. It has to be said that the Raptors who sent Lowry can also impact the playoffs is very surprising. Against the Spurs, this is a one-sided posture, the Raptors led by 15 points in the first half, pulled 16 points after the third quarter, and quickly entered garbage time in the final quarter.
VanVleet was the Raptors' first credit for winning the game, 32 minutes in the game, 12 of 23, 7 of 14 from three-point range, 33 points, 7 assists, 2 rebounds and 2 steals, shooting 52.2% from the field and 50% from three-point range, and Van Jordan, who was only 1.85 meters tall, defeated the Spurs defense with one shot after another. White, Vassell, Forbes, and others simply could not restrain Van Jordan.
Even Sika accepted being a green leaf by Van Jordan's side, and Sika played 28 minutes in the game, 7 of 13, with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. This season, Sika averaged 16 shots per game for the second place in the whole team, the first place in the whole team was Van Jordan 16.8 times, the Raptors only had Van Jordan score 20+, and Sika was 19.8 points per game, and who was the boss was clear at a glance.
This season, Van Jordan has a plus-minus of +21.4, and Van Jordan wins 5.9 points per 100 possessions, while he has a net loss of 15.5 points for the Raptors, a gap that is second only to Nicola Jokic's +24.1 and Curry's +20.8 in third place. 1.85m Van Jordan really became a star?
In the last five games, Van Jordan scored 31+6 three-pointers, 27+6 three-pointers, 31+4 three-pointers, 35+7 three-pointers, 31+7 three-pointers, averaging 31.4 points + 6.4 three-pointers per game, making him one of the league's top scorers+ three-pointers. He currently averages 21.3 points, 6.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.65 steals and 0.52 blocks per game, shooting 44.1% from the field and 40.5% from three-point range, and averaging 3.6 three-pointers per game.
Maybe no one would expect Van Jordan to carry this team, and no one thought he could play at the level of an All-Star, but 1.85m Van Jordan did it, his stats improved compared to lowry, and when he had a lot of balls in his hands, his scoring efficiency and assist rate also improved.
