Canada Toronto.

This is the home court of the Raptors. Today, the Raptors sit at the home court and welcome the game against the 76ers.

After several seasons, the Raptors' lineup has stabilized, and the team's "backcourt stars" DeRozan and Rory have become more mature.

Therefore, the Raptors have played very well this season. Although the record is only fifth in the Eastern Conference, it is because there are too many strong Eastern Conference teams.

In front of the Raptors are the Eagles, the 76ers, the Bulls, the Cavaliers, and the Pacers. Which one is not a strong team?

So fifth is not a weak Raptors.

On the contrary, the Raptors are also a strong team, and they have proved themselves in the game against many teams.

At the same time, DeRozan and Rory also ranked in the top 20 in the All-Star voting.

However, it is not easy for the two of them to go further. There may still be a little chance to enter the top ten, but it is impossible to enter the All-Star starter.

At half past seven in the evening, the game officially started.

Qin Hao looked at the opposite side. The Raptors started with Valanciunas, Amir Johnson, Terrence Law, DeRozan, and Lowry.

Among them, Lori and the others all had a high-spirited look, only the little prince of the CIC had melancholy eyes, and his temperament remained the same.

Speaking of which, DeRozan and Xiaoka are a bit similar, they don't talk much, and their personalities are restrained.

But it was different. Xiaoka was just an introvert, while DeRozan was a little melancholy. When he sensed Qin Hao's eyes, he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Qin Hao.

Of course, this is not to be afraid of Qin Hao.

Just encountering a player like Qin Hao will always make him doubt his life. Is his persistence right?

DeRozan has always been fond of the mid-range, and his style of play is more traditional, but the three-point shot has prevailed in the league in the past two or three seasons. Especially in these two seasons, the 76ers and the Warriors have become the pacesetters in the East and West, and the three-pointers of the two teams have caused headaches for other teams.

Under the influence of Qin Hao and Curry, NBA teams have paid more and more attention to three-pointers, and NBA teams have begun to shoot more and more three-pointers.

Including the Raptors, the coach also emphasized.

This made DeRozan doubt his life. Should he give up his persistence, follow the trend, and practice three-pointers?

Not looking at Qin Hao is not fear, but escape.

"This guy is getting more and more melancholy." Qin Hao shook his head.

In another time and space, he saw a report that DeRozan suffered from depression, but he didn't know if it was true or not. Now it seems to be a little true.

......

Game start.

It jumped first, the Raptors got the ball, Lowry pushed the ball into the frontcourt and asked for a pick-and-roll, then split the ball and passed it to DeRozan.

After taking the ball, DeRozan took a step forward and passed most of Lou Wei's body, but instead of hitting the basket, he stopped and made a pull-up jumper.

boom!

Iconic mid-range shot, but missed.

The 76ers counterattacked. Qin Hao looked at the situation after arriving in the frontcourt and asked for a pick-and-roll. Varan was delayed, but Qin Hao accelerated and passed.

"not good."

The Raptors players screamed badly and immediately shrank their defenses.

The next moment, Qin Hao passed the ball without looking at anyone and gave it to Butler who was cutting along the bottom line. Butler jumped up to catch the ball and dunked with both hands.

In the next few minutes, Qin Hao only made a three-pointer, and he still failed to hit it, but his teammates were in good shape today, and he had already delivered 4 assists in just a few minutes.

Since his teammates are in good condition, Qin Hao is happy and relaxed, and he doesn't need him to score.

On the other hand, on the side of the Raptors, Lowry is not so easy.

"No, I still need to score points." Lowry held the ball in one hand and walked outside the three-point line, frowning.

DeRozan's state was not very good in the past few minutes. He lost a very important scoring point and fell into a disadvantage.

Against the "Big Three" like the 76ers, the Raptors are very difficult to defend. They can only defend as well as possible while seeking breakthroughs on the offensive end.

But DeRozan, the leading star, is not strong at scoring points, and it is useless for Lowry to organize passes.

I have to say, Lori is still pretty stable.

I saw him call a pick-and-roll, get rid of Qin Hao's defense, form a dislocation, and then take a three-point shot.

Swish!

The ball went in to help the Raptors stop the bleeding.

But even so, by the end of the first quarter, the Raptors were still 8 points behind.

After the first quarter, the Raptors head coach sensed the problem and sat next to DeRozan and talked with him for a while.

When DeRozan was replaced in the second quarter, his condition improved and his hand came back. He partnered with Lowry, and the two stars in the backcourt worked together.

However......

This is of no use.

Lowry and DeRozan are working hard, and Butler and Xiaoka are also breaking out on the 76ers side.

After entering the second quarter, Qin Hao was still not in a hurry to shoot, but more about organizing the offense, and Butler and Xiaoka were in excellent form today. With Qin Hao's passing, it was like a tiger, and it suppressed the Raptors.

Even with the rotation, the 76ers still have the upper hand.

At the end of the half, the Raptors trailed by 12 points despite Lowry and DeRozan's good performances, and the gap was widened to more than ten points.

"Butler played really well today."

"Leonard too, Qin's limelight was stolen by them."

In the audience, some fans were talking.

Listening to people's comments, Qin Hao didn't care. Anyway, as long as he can win, it's nothing to be robbed of the limelight, let alone his own brother.

Moreover, although Qin Hao only scored 8 points at halftime and has not yet reached double figures, he has already provided 12 assists.

With 12 assists in the half, who would dare to say that Qin Hao did not contribute?

......

In a blink of an eye, the second half begins.

After entering the second half, the Raptors tried to counterattack, but with Qin Hao's three-pointer and a breakthrough, the Raptors' counterattack was extinguished.

In the next few minutes, Qin Hao reduced his personal offense, but was still creating opportunities for his teammates, providing assists for his teammates, and letting his teammates perform.

The 76ers led by 13 points in the third quarter.

The difference between the two sides has not opened, but it has not narrowed. The 76ers have always had the upper hand, leaving the Raptors helpless.

In only three quarters, Butler has scored 26 points, Xiaoka scored 23 points, and Qin Hao only scored 13 points.

But people suddenly discovered that Qin Hao had already delivered 17 assists before he knew it.

With 13 points, 17 assists, and 5 rebounds, Qin Hao's assists were almost 20 after three quarters, more than points.

"Qin actually provided 17 assists. The 76ers played so well today that they could make shots at every opportunity."

"Yeah, if you keep playing like this, maybe Qin can get 20 assists."

People whispered.
