Big upset! The Big Four in New York scored 100 points, Battle missed every shot, and the Greats lost again and again.

On November 1, the NBA Cup kicked off. The league arranged a total of 8 sets of matchups, four in the east and west. The results in the east were as follows: the Eagles beat the Pacers 128-108, the Celtics narrowly beat the 76ers 109-108, the Raptors overturned the Cavaliers 112-101, and the Knicks lost to the Bulls 125-135. The Eastern Conference champion Pacers suffered a four-game losing streak at the beginning. They became the third team in NBA history to reach the Finals last season and then started a five-game losing streak, comparable to the 76ers in the 2001-02 season and the Cavaliers in the 2018-19 season. If we want to trace the source, the key is that the Pacers were seriously injured. Seven players were absent due to injuries. It is difficult for Carlisle to make a meal without rice. At the same time, the three major Eastern Conference giants, the 76ers, Knicks and Cavaliers, lost shockingly. Let’s take a look.

The Knicks missed a 22-point reversal, and the New York Big Four scored 100 points in vain.

The Knicks went to the away game to challenge the Bulls. At the beginning of the game, the Knicks took the lead and took the initiative. The Bulls quickly caught up with the score after regaining their touch. During the rotation period, the Bulls scored wave after wave of climaxes, widening the point difference to double digits in one go. The Knicks returned to the court to try to chase points, but Kiddy scored consecutive three-pointers to help the Bulls stabilize the situation. After halftime, the Knicks trailed by 19 points. After changing sides, Towns scored 15 points and led the team to chase the point difference to single digits. However, the Bulls did not panic at all with Kiddy controlling the court. The game dragged on to the last five minutes. Kiddy and Vucevic scored consecutive points. The Bulls once again widened the point difference to double digits. The Knicks were in the game. In the end, the Knicks lost to the Bulls 125-135.

From falling behind by 22 points to catching up by 2 points, and then losing by 10 points, the Knicks still rely too much on the Big Four! At the end of the game, New York's Big Four Brunson, Towns, Bridges, and Anunoby scored 100 points, and no one else scored in double figures. Especially the second team, the Knicks were completely blown away by the Bulls. The bench scored 21-53 and lost by 32 points. Looking back at the Bulls, Kiddy is undoubtedly a better leader than Brunson, with 32 points + 10 rebounds + 9 assists + 0 turnovers to revitalize the team, which is great! After this campaign, the Bulls won 5 consecutive victories and were the only undefeated team in the Eastern Conference. According to statistics, this is the first time since 1996 that the Bulls have won five consecutive games.

The Raptors overturned the Cavaliers in a big upset, and Battelle missed every shot.

The Raptors, who had lost four consecutive games, went to the road to challenge the Eastern Conference giant Cavaliers. The Cavaliers' five main players, Mitchell, Allen, Garland, Struss and Merrill, were absent due to injuries. This is a good opportunity for the Raptors to end their losing streak. Don't miss this opportunity! At the beginning of the game, the two teams fell into a tug-of-war. The Raptors showed their depth advantage during the rotation and established a double-digit lead in one fell swoop. Subsequently, the Cavaliers' starting lineup returned to the court to lead the team in chasing points. In the third quarter, the Cavaliers used an 11-0 offensive to take the lead. Subsequently, the two teams fell into a stalemate, and the suspense of the game lasted until the last moment. The Raptors scored consecutive three-pointers, and the Cavaliers were all over! In the end, the Raptors overturned the Cavaliers 112-101.

Five generals of the Cavaliers were injured at the same time, which somewhat underestimated the enemy. Even so, the Cavaliers were able to overturn the score after falling behind by double digits. This may be the reason why they dared to use the second team to face the Raptors. Mobley Jr. and Hunter teamed up to score 55 points and 14 rebounds, supporting the team's fundamentals. However, the Raptors still went all out to seize the opportunity to end their losing streak. Five players scored in double figures, three scored 20+, and the team scored 13 three-pointers with a 43.3% shooting rate. Especially Battelle, who came off the bench with no miss, scoring 7 of 7, 6 of 6 three-pointers, scoring 20 points, with a plus-minus value of +28, the highest in the game, and was the Raptors' leading contributor to the win.

The 76ers narrowly lost to the Greens by 1 point. The Celtics lost again and again.

The Greens, who had won 2 consecutive games, went to the road to challenge the 76ers who had 4 consecutive wins. When the game came up, the two teams fell into an offensive battle. Pritchard teamed up with Brown to fight Maxi and Embiid. The Greens took a 13-point lead in a single quarter. In the second quarter, the Green Army once widened the point difference to 20+. Xiao Ai stepped forward and led the team to a 17-4 spurt. The 76ers chased the point difference to 11 points at the end of the half. After changing sides and fighting again, the Green Army's offense was powered off. The 76ers seized the opportunity to hit a 15-4 spurt, evening the score difference in one fell swoop. At the critical moment, Jaylen Brown stepped forward to help the Green Army stabilize the situation. The Green Army reopened the score, but Xiao Ai and Maxi scored consecutive three-pointers, and the 76ers once again caught up with the score. At the decisive moment, the 76ers had a winning chance but the shot timed out. The 76ers lost to the Celtics 108-109.

The 76ers suffered their first defeat of the season. Maxi scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 14 assists. Xiao Ai scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. However, the Emperor lost both games and others! In this campaign, the Emperor played 25 minutes, making 6 of 13 (1 of 2 three-pointers), 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Great Emperor has a playing time limit, and the final buzzer-beater is timed out and hit, which is really not a good choice. More importantly, during the game, Dadi made many controversial moves, such as being possessed by a beggar. In the third quarter of the game, Xiaobai rushed to grab Dadi and fouled him. Dadi directly made a shooting posture and fell down in an exaggerated way; in the fourth quarter of the game, Dadi was fouled from outside the three-point line and kicked his opponent's sensitive parts with his sweeping leg. I could feel the pain even across the screen. To be honest, this version of the Emperor is a bit of a hindrance to the 76ers. The more critical he is, the more he deceives his teammates, and the more embarrassing he becomes. Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
