1. Hamm talks to God
Facing the Raptors at home, Lakers coach Darvin Ham was worried, and he made a special trip to the church to pray to God.
He moved God, and God appeared to him and asked, "My people, do you have anything to do with me?"”
Ham said: "My position is getting more and more dangerous, ** and the fans dislike me, the players are not happy with me. I don't dare to ask the Lakers to win, but can I make Barnes sluggish?”
God said, "What's so hard about that?"You can coach with confidence. ”
Ham returned to his home court elated, and the Lakers did beat the Raptors.
Hamm asked God, "God, even though I won, I don't understand that Barnes is still very brave." ”
God was surprised: "I didn't lie to you, Barnes made 0 of 1 shots, 0 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, I helped here, what do you want me to do?."”
Ham cried, "Dear God, this is Barnes of the Kings, and I ask you to be the Barnes of the Raptors .........."In this game, he had 26 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. ”
Second, Schroeder wants to see a replacement
In the 23 summer offseason, Schroder was enthusiastic about signing with the Lakers.
But Pelinka, the Lakers general manager, turned it away, saying
Dear Dennis, you're fine, but you have a better replacement. He has the same level of offense as you, with better defense and size. I'm sorry, dear Dennis. ”
Schroder left the Lakers in a huff and signed with the Raptors.
The Raptors returned to the Lakers' home court this time, and Schroder had 10 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists.
After the game, he approached Pelinka and asked, "Excuse me, where's my replacement?"Why didn't you see it?”
Pelinka lamented, "Dear Dennis, he's here. But if you want to meet him, you have to make an appointment first. ”
3. Raptors joke: Huses Knicks sued Raptors
In the offseason, the New York Knicks took the Toronto Raptors to court, along with new Raptors coach Rajakovic, ten other Raptors employees, and former Knicks employee Ikechukwu Azotam.
According to the Knicks' complaint, former employee Azotan used his position as an analyst director to cooperate with the Raptors' coaching team during the 2022-23 season to leak a large number of classified documents to the Raptors in violation of a signed non-disclosure agreement. These documents are enormous, with a whopping 3,358 copies and more than 2,000 access to more than 2,000 actions, covering the Knicks' game frequency analysis reports, scouting analysis, the '22-23 preparation manual, ......Wait a minute.
It is reported that Azotan received the Raptors' ** around June, and in July he informed the Knicks that he was leaving, and at that time he began to send the above classified documents to his private email and share them with the Raptors.
The Knicks also sued new Raptors coach Rajakovic and 10 other Raptors employees, and the lawsuit said: "Rajakovic is the first NBA team coach and should have his own views on the organizational structure and coaching style. Obviously, given his unconventional way of getting promoted, the defendant didn't have his own method and chose to plagiarize the Knicks. ”
The Toronto Raptors and their parent company, MLSE, issued a joint statement saying they would quickly launch an internal investigation and fully cooperate.
So, why did the Raptors risk the world's condemnation and plagiarize Knicks secrets?
It's probably clear in the middle of the season:
Midway through the season, the Knicks and Raptors made a 3-for-3 deal
The Raptors sent Anunoby, Achiuwa and Flynn to get the Knicks' Barrett, Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick (from the Pistons).
What's it called?This is called a long plan.
