Five years ago, VanVleet was a lost draft that could not even knock on the door of the NBA. However, after 5 years of dormancy, he forced Van Jordan to reach a positive word, not only won the championship ring, but also crowned the honor of all-star player. If the counterattack has a dan position, VanVleet may have practiced to the full level! In fact, Nas's vision has always been very poisonous, even if the little card chose to leave the team after winning the championship, and in the next two years, the champion players in the team have gone almost the same. But the Raptors can quickly lead the team back to the normal track.
So far, they have also achieved a record of 32 wins and 25 losses, ranking seventh in the East, and have a good chance of reaching the playoffs. In this game, they had another game away to the Charlotte Hornets. In recent years, the draft has made team owner Jordan deeply doubt his own vision. But fortunately, they have found a lot of treasure players in the past two years, such as the tandem Lamello Bauer and the growing Bridges, as well as Rozier and others. They are all the secret to the Hornets' winning game. So, this game to accept the Challenge of the Raptors, what kind of posture should they face?
As soon as the game began, the Raptors fell into a scoring drought, and the Hornets, who seized the opportunity, scored a 28-19 single-quarter score to take a nine-point lead. Entering the second quarter of the showdown, the Hornets, who played in a state, can still follow the trend and continue to widen the point difference between the two sides. Rozier shot 4-of-6 in a single quarter and delivered 9 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists, PJ Washington had 8 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, and even Harrell, who came off the bench, also delivered 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. With the team's players in a row, the Hornets scored another 42-28 score, widening the point difference to 23 points!
The point difference between the two teams has been widened, while the Raptors' side of Siakam and VanVleet have remained in a slump. They still have a lot of difficulties in achieving a reversal in the second half. The Hornets, who had the initiative in the score, did not give them a chance, and in one fell swoop, they scored 27-14 in the third quarter of the competition and took a 13-point lead. By the time of the crucial final-quarter showdown, the point difference between the two sides had widened to 36 points, and there was no suspense in this game.
Entering the fourth quarter of the showdown, the Raptors chose to give up early, and the Hornets did not kill anyone, and both sides sent rotating players to consume the remaining game time. In the end, the fourth quarter was over, and the Hornets won the game with a 125-93 score without suspense. While completing the 32-point victory, the overall performance of the Hornets players is indeed worthy of praise, not only did they have 6 players who scored double digits, but among the players on the court, they scored at least 6 points. Among them, Rozier only played 32 minutes, and in the process of delivering 23 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists, he even helped the team to a crucial 46 points (the highest in the game)!
There are also two scoring players on the bench: Oubre played a 32-minute big kill, 5 of 10 from three-point range, delivered 23 points and 4 rebounds, and Harrell, who delivered 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. In the past, in other teams, Oubre and Harrell were the best sixth men in the team, and now they are together in Charlotte Hornets, and it is really remarkable that they can continue to shine. After winning this game, the Hornets also ended a three-game losing streak, and the record was close to that of the eighth-ranked Nets. In contrast, the Nets, still in the haze of losing streaks, are indeed dangerous again, and there is a good chance that they will fall out of the top eight in the West in the near future.
