After winning the Trail Blazers, Conbu led the generals to Toronto without stopping.

The next game against the Raptors is the key to whether they can win ten consecutive victories.

If you can beat the Raptors, then there will be no big problem to win against the Clippers and Rockets next.

And if you lose to the Raptors, it will make no sense whether you can beat the Clippers and the Rockets next.

When returning to Toronto, Conbu has been enjoying the cheers of fans since he got off the plane.

The Raptors fans naturally felt reluctant to leave Kongbu's departure, but they also clearly knew that Kongbu had done enough for them. No matter what Kongbu made any decision, they only had support and gratitude in their hearts.

"To be honest, I suspect that I was playing away tonight."

"The whole audience was cheering the name of your visiting coach, which made me, the home coach, feel embarrassed."

Before the game started, Old Wilkens said helplessly.

Because of various recent deals, he has been criticized by fans in Toronto.

In the eyes of fans, if there is internal strife in the team, the head coach should reconcile and mediate, rather than selling a large number of cost-effective stars in the team like now.

If it is just a simple sell, who can't do this kind of job? Why do you want to invite Wilkens?

When Kong Bu was there, he had never heard of internal strife in the locker room.

"Old guy, I have to show my mercy tonight. I am just a newcomer to Philadelphia and am thinking of playing a decent record and consolidating my position in the team."

"Don't beat me up on the court, it will make me feel embarrassed."

Kongbu shrugged and smiled.

He didn't want his old boss, the Raptors, to let him go, he was just an old friend.

"Show mercy? Can I not show mercy?"

"Look at the audience here, if I win more than twenty tonight, I guess they will be able to squirt me to death."

Old Wilkens said helplessly.

He had a high status in the Eagle before, but after he arrived in Toronto, he realized that he could only call the Eagle Brother, and Conbu was called the Eagle in Toronto.

"Coach, you have created another miracle this season. You have led a poor lineup like the 76ers and have achieved such a strong record."

The great abilities led the Raptors to come over.

"What a miracle this can be. It's normal for the coach to happen."

"Actually, when the coach went to Philadelphia, I already knew that the 76ers' record this year will be at least the top three in the league."

"The 76ers in the previous few seasons were completely amateur in front of our Raptors. It seemed that they had never beat us at all. Now we can't underestimate them."

"Coach, do you think our Raptors can still win the championship this season?"

"That old guy Stern won't target us specifically in order to destroy our four consecutive championships, right?"

The Raptors began to mutter in front of Kongbu.

These words made Iverson extremely unhappy. Why is his 76ers so unbearable in the eyes of these Raptors players?

But he couldn't refute these people. In the past few seasons, every time the 76ers met the Raptors, they were beaten, and the average score difference had to be widened to at least 30.

"Ben, haven't Glenn talked to you about renewal issues?"

After the generals dispersed, Kong Bu left the big book by his side and started chatting.

As a player he likes, he certainly hopes that Daben can stay in Toronto forever.

"No, hey, I guess I have to find my next home after playing this season."

"Compared with Big Bus, he is indeed more qualified to get the maximum salary, so I don't feel resentful of the Raptors."

"Business is business, they did nothing wrong."

Da Ben said that he did not resent the Raptor, but his eyes were filled with disappointment and loneliness.

He must have been disappointed after playing for the Raptors for three years and helping the Raptors win three championships. He was finally unable to get the maximum salary in the Raptors.

Kong Bu shook his head and sighed, "Let's talk about it after playing this season first. With your strength, you can find a maximum salary contract."

"If you really can't find it, come and join me. You can clear Ratliff's contract next season, which is enough to give you a maximum salary."

Da Ben nodded with a smile, "Okay, if I really can't find the maximum salary, then I'll go and join the boss."

"Actually, I'm quite looking forward to joining forces with Yao Ming. I found that his rebounding ability is not very good and his defense is not top-notch. I can make up for this shortcoming."

It seems that Daben has been paying attention to Kongbu's games.

Soon the game began, and the starting players of both sides began to appear.

The Raptors' starting lineup is now Big Ben, Bus, Pierce, Carter and bearded Davis. This is a typical lean camel that is bigger than a horse. Even if they sell so many players, they still have an extremely luxurious All-Star starting lineup.

And there are also Odom, Joe Smith, Brelock and other good players on the bench.

If you just look at the lineup, the Raptors are definitely stronger than the 76ers.

However, the 76ers are not without advantages. At least Daben is not very useful in defending Yao Ming, and Iverson can also handle the bearded Davis well.

Because Da Ben is too short, he has always been unable to match the super high center forward.

The bearded Davis is strong in his strength. He can rely on his back to suppress point guards who are worse than him on the offensive end.

But at present, the Raptors' main attack power is concentrated in the hands of the bus, Pierce and Carter, so it is difficult for him, as the point guard, to get the chance to single against Iverson.

He was not fast enough on the defensive end and had no height advantage, so it was difficult to defend against Iverson's breakthrough.

The competition officially begins.

The 76ers got the offensive ball rights. After seeing the position of Bus and Da Ben, Conbu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Obviously, Old Wilkens had no intention of letting go, so he arranged tactics against Yao Ming in this game.

Da Ben rushed behind Yao Ming, and the bus went around to defend, preventing Yao Ming from receiving the ball.

Old Wilkens has coached for decades and his vision is still very vicious. It is easy to see what Yao Ming means to this 76ers.

As long as Yao Ming cannot play a role on the offensive end, it will be difficult for the 76ers to win.

If Kong Bu has a powerful space power forward in his hand, the Raptors' inside defensive arrangement can be easily cracked. One person from the big book or the bus must pull out to defend, so that Yao Ming at the basket has a one-on-one opportunity.

Unfortunately, Kong Bu didn't have it in his hands.

Iverson broke through with the ball and just passed the bearded Davis. When he arrived near the free throw line, Carter immediately rushed over to make up for defense.

Seeing that he had no room to shoot and the pass was unable to pass to Yao Ming, Iverson passed the ball to Reed, who was running without the ball.

The bearded Davis has switched defense with Carter, and he is now in charge of guarding Reed.

Reed took the ball and made a three-pointer, but unfortunately he failed to score.

The rebound was also snatched by the big book under the basket.

Kong Bu grimaced when he saw it. Things were in trouble. Even if he only played for one round, he could clearly feel the suppression of the Raptors' 76ers.

There is no way to play to the basket and the rebound cannot be protected, so it is difficult for the 76ers to win this game.

This is the first time Kong Bu has played against the Raptors he has played against. He feels more and more sympathetic to the coaches of the previous weak teams. It is indeed a torture against a team like the Raptors.

After the offensive round of the Raptors, Carter forced his way to Reed and made a mid-range shot from the back.

Reed is good everywhere, but his defense is not good, and he can't defend against Carter's attack at all.

After playing on the court for a few minutes, the Raptors had established a very obvious advantage. If Pierce had not been missed by Kirirenko's two shots, the situation for the 76ers would have been even more embarrassing.

"Dududu!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and he blew a rebound and foul, and Yao Ming got two free throws.

"Swish!"

Yao Ming didn't score a single point in the first few minutes, and only grabbed one rebound, and it was a defensive rebound.

So he cherished this free throw opportunity and directly hit both free throws.

Not long after, the bus was blown another whistle. This time it was his offensive foul, which also hit Yao Ming, who got two free throws.

Swish, two free throws were hit.

As Yao Ming relied on free throws to score four points, the situation of the 76ers has improved a lot, and at least it can give Kong Bu a glimmer of hope to win.

In the following period of the first quarter, Kong Bu was confused and the situation on the field was a bit special.

The referee's whistle was blowing a little frequently, and it was all blown on the big book or bus that was facing Yao Ming.

It doesn't seem to be true that the referee favors the 76ers. After all, this is the Raptors' home court, and the referee has to give home fans some face.

This is just a regular season game, so it won’t be a black whistle.

It seems that Yao Ming deliberately committed a foul, not as Yao Ming does not currently have the ability to do this.

Could it be that Da Ben and Da Bus deliberately fouled and asked Yao Ming to free throws? It is unlikely, because there is really no need for this.

Tonight is Yao Ming’s first showdown with the bus. They are considered to be the relationship between seniors and juniors. The bus not only wants to win the game, but also wants to defeat Yao Ming in terms of data. This is his personality, he is competitive and cannot deliberately let Yao Ming go under the attention of all Chinese people.
