Basketball

In the previous NBA regular season, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-99 at home. After this game, the Raptors, who had won eight consecutive games, improved their record to 13 wins and 5 losses, and continued to rank second in the Eastern Conference; while the Cavaliers, who ended their two-game winning streak, saw their record drop to 12 wins and 7 losses, and their ranking was overtaken by the Miami Heat and fell to fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the Raptors' starting small forward Brandon Ingram was simply unstoppable. Ingram played for 37 minutes and 14 seconds, shooting 15 of 30, 5 of 11 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 5 free throws. He scored a game-high 37 points, plus 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 4 turnovers and 1 foul. His plus-minus value also reached +11. It is worth mentioning that 37 points is also Ingram's highest score in a single game this season. Ingram has shown comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. His stability in mid- and long-range shooting is simply ridiculously high, and opponents have no way to effectively restrict him. Not only that, Ingram can also be considered effective on the defensive end. Ingram's effectiveness on the court is obvious to all, and opponents have no way to effectively restrict him. His series of outstanding performances also made a huge contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Ingram played a total of 18 times for the New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 33.1 minutes per game and averaging 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.0 rebounds per game. 2 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks, 3.8 turnovers and 2.5 fouls, shooting 46.5% from the field, 37.4% from the three-point range, and 85.5% from the free throw line. Ingram was traded to the Raptors by the Pelicans in February this year. In order to acquire Ingram, the Pelicans sent a first-round pick and a second-round pick along with Bruce Brown and Kelly Olynyk. However, due to injuries, Ingram was unable to get a chance to play last season after joining the Raptors. Since the start of this season, Ingram has averaged 33.4 minutes per game in the first 18 games, averaging 21.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. He also has 2.9 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 48.6%, three-point shooting percentage is 31.7%, and free throw shooting percentage is 85.9%.

Compared with last season, Ingram's performance this season is also much more stable. His offensive efficiency is quite good. He can also play a role in passing and supporting. His performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. Ingram's mission this season is very clear, and other Raptors players are also very effective on the court, so he only needs to be able to complete his mission on the court, which makes it easier for him. Under the leadership of Ingram, the Raptors' record this season has also undergone radical changes. From this point of view, in a mature system, players' abilities and performance will also be greatly improved.
