Chapter 116: [Is this still a Raptor]

In the battle of positions, Yang Rui arranged only a simple pick-and-roll tactic.
　　 Center Willis reached the high position to cover Carter. Carter moved the ball to get rid of Pierce. The first step was very fast. The left side changed the direction and crossed Batty. The ball pulled up and took off in two steps.
　　 His head was almost flat, his right hand tomahawk dunked and smashed the ball into the basket. 5 to 2.
　　The game was broadcast live on Toronto Sports TV. The commentator David Nellie shouted: "God, Carter got the first two points of his career with an amazing dunk. It's wonderful."
　　 partner Clark Thomson said: "The Raptors selected the 98th best rookie. Willis is an experienced veteran center who is good at pick-and-roll. I hope they can play this kind of cooperation."
　　David laughed: "Jerry Yang is 24 years old. His appearance seems to be younger. It looks like a college student. Sitting on the sidelines is a highlight."
　　The Greens attacked, and the perimeter passed. Pierce ran out of the three-point line and received a pass from Walker. He turned 70 degrees to the left and scored 5-5.
　　 Carter defended and missed again. Without anyone covering him, Pierce was surrounded by the bottom line. After entering the league, his weakness was very obvious.
　　The Raptors attacked, Billups, according to the arrangement, passed Carter after halftime.
　　 This time, Carter and Willis played a pick-and-roll, which attracted Pierce to pursue the defense and split the ball back into the middle.
　　Bati and Pierce were as good as they were before, and they had a very good relationship. As soon as Pierce arrived in Boston, Bati took him to play with him, visited various nightclubs in Boston, and asked him to eat, drink and have fun.
　　 So, when Pierce saw Carter wanted to play Batty again, he immediately chased it. Never let his friends get caught up. This is moral!
　　 Both went to Carter, and there was a free time in the middle. Willis took the ball and dunked to the basket, dunking the basketball with one hand. Walker followed Wallace away from the rim and didn't have time to defend. 7 to 5.
　　The Greens attacked, Anderson midway and Walker played a pick-and-roll, and Wallace caught the ball to catch up. He failed to pass easily. The ball scored in the middle. Walker singled Billups and turned around and jumped.
　　 Billups, who is 191cm tall, weighs 92 kilograms, is very strong, and is very good at changing power forwards. He dares to go directly to the body, which is also a big specialty of him.
　　 was rebounded by Willis and passed to Billups to launch a counterattack.
　　 There was a misalignment on the field, Billups passed on Christie, and the latter passed on to Wallace.
　　The 203cm tall black man Wallace, sticking his tongue out and squeezing Anderson into basketball forcibly.
　　Anderson is 183cm tall and weighs only 78kg. There is only one dry chicken. The gap between the two is too big to prevent. 9 to 5.
On the sidelines, Thibodeau smiled and said: "Is this guy imitating Jordan?"
　　 "The layup is too ugly, maybe it's just that the heat is not good..." Yang Rui vomited.
　　 In Yang Rui’s previous life, Wallace retired after only 7 seasons. His impact on the basket was easy to get injured. After frequent injuries, his quality declined and he could not survive in the NBA.
　　 But now, John Wallace is brave and worthy of his surname.
　　The Greens attacked. Pierce picked up Carter again and picked up Carter again. He turned 70 degrees on the right side and stepped on the right foot. Carter stopped a little.
　　 He stopped the jumper in one step, and the chance was good. Walker failed to rush for a rebound, Wallace retreated and took off, grabbed the ball with one hand, landed and brought himself to the frontcourt.
　　 The advantage in mobility is so obvious that Wallace got rid of Walker in a few steps.
　　 3 of 3 in the frontcourt, Wallace attracted Batty to pass to the left side Billups, the latter leaned into the basket by Anderson to attract Pierce to retreat, close to Carter on the other side.
　　 Carter took one step to catch the ball and jumped with all his strength. No matter if someone was in the basket, one-handed slam dunk, Pierce turned to see that his momentum was too fierce and unstoppable. 11 to 5.
　　 Raptors fans in front of the TV were all spoilt.
　　The commentator David shouted: "Carter is a dunk again, is this still a Raptors? It's a wonderful game!"
　　 Clark sighed: "This is the first game that Jerry Yang coached as the head coach. What magical power does he have? The Raptors' offense and last season were two teams."
　　 was even more surprised by the Celtics head coach Rick Pitino and assistant coach Butch Carter.
　　Pitino took over the Celtics in 1997 and was ordered to be in danger. If he did not seek results, he would be qualified if he played well. This year he hopes to lead the team back to the playoffs, this game against the recognized underdog Raptors, the Celtics are bound to win.
　　 He glanced at assistant coach Butch Carter, and was a little angry. Butch bowed his head guilty.
　　 Before the game, Butch kept saying how bad the Raptors' offense was. The players were dead, and it was impossible for them to be opponents of the Green Army. The players said that they had a little lighter thought before the game.
The results of it? The "dead" Raptors players dunked continuously in the opening, and the counterattack was fast and determined. It felt that this was not an NBA team, but a track and field team.
　　Walker wanted to use color to show a very high quotient. The opponent was fast, jumped high, and was good at disturbing shots. He went inside.
　　Bati pick-and-roll, Anderson attracted Willis, and passed to Walker low right to challenge Wallace.
　　Walker leaned towards the opponent with a slightly fat body and turned towards the middle, throwing a basketball at close range, Wallace was squeezed and did not jump. 11 to 7.
　　Walker is a star~EbookFREE.me~He can average 22.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season. It is not Wallace's one-on-one defense.
　　Yang Rui saw this, but did not immediately replace him, allowing players to play freely on the court. At this time, O'Neal was sent. Without the ball, he could only be a blue collar. The counterattack speed was also slower. It may not be as good as McGrady in the second quarter. The effect may be better.
　　 fell into position, Carter singled Pierce missed a jumper, the choice was a bit poor, the rebound was taken by Walker.
　　The Celtics attacked, Pierce once again stepped past Carter, attracting Christie to make up the defense, Mercer could not make a long distance shot.
　　 Both teams have weaknesses. The difference is that the tactics arranged by Yang Rui are random fights. The Celtics want to run tactics seriously. It is difficult to grasp the opportunity when the opportunity arises, and the players are not capable enough.
　　Pitino first called for a timeout, replacing substitute point guard Dana Barros, adding a stable three-point shooting point, in order to open up space and not allow the Raptors players to shrink so much.
　　 This substitution has no help for the defense. Barros is 180cm tall and weighs 74kg, and the confrontation is very poor. In the NBA, it is difficult for people who weigh less than 80 kilograms to do misplaced defense.
　　 The Raptors position battle also opened. Willis scored a few times to catch the ball and scored strongly. He squeezed Barros after the pick-and-roll. Batty must change his defense, otherwise Carter will get rid of Pierce's emergency stop and cast, very accurate.
　　 Yang Rui made adjustments on the defensive end, let Christie go against Pierce, Carter against the poor shooting Mercer, Pierce breakthrough difficult, can only attract defense on the periphery, waiting for opportunities.
　　 played more than 8 minutes, Yang Rui replaced Wallace, Carter, replaced O'Neal, McGrady, and can still fight back.
　　 Relying on a better offense, the Raptors lead 31 to 23 to end the first quarter.
