Chapter 129: [Cohesion, under fire]

　　 After the game, Yang Rui walked onto the court and led the players to wave to the fans all around. The applause in the audience kept on for a long time. The Raptors produced cohesion for the first time at home.
　　 Glenn Grover and boss Richard Pedy were surprised. The Raptors had risen, and they only used three games. It was unbelievably fast.
　　 Previously, it was normal for fans to have no sense of belonging. The Raptors did not win, there was no star, and the game was ugly. Now the Raptors have not only won, but also Carter, McGrady, O'Neal, and some strong men who can dunk.
　　 The thrill of winning this game is to hit a wave by catching the opponent's loophole. The Raptors players feel bad, only Di Brown and Billups made three-pointers, overall 7 of 28 three-pointers.
　　Christie scored 0 points out of 7 shots, only 3 rebounds and 4 assists.
　　 O'Neal made 5 of 14 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks. He relies too much on jump shots, which is a bit like Bosh in the future.
　　 McGrady made 4 of 11 shots, 8 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists.
　　 Carter did not shoot much, and his performance was stable. 9 of 13 shots, 2 of 3 3-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, 22 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.
　　 Billups made 8 of 14 shots, 4 of 9 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 24 points and 6 assists. He was the biggest player in winning the game. Without his three-point firepower, it would be over today.
On the Bucks side, Robinson scored 28 points and Ray Allen had 17 points. The Raptors' defense was basically qualified.
　　 Now, Yang Rui firmly believes that the Raptors will make the playoffs and still get a good ranking. Players all have weaknesses, and there are many players who win. There are good conditions in each game. Standing out three people can guarantee the offensive firepower. As long as they run in for a while, they will become stronger and stronger.
At the press conference, a reporter asked: "Jerry, you eat on the sidelines again at the end of the game, do you think the winning ticket is holding?"
　　 Yang Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "How is it possible? At that time, the score was not pulled away. I eat to relieve stress."
　　 The reporter asked: "How do you see this game?"
　　 "The Bucks are strong, but luck is on our side." Yang Rui laughed.
When asked about Christie’s play, Yang Rui said:
Doug is the team’s starter, even if he doesn’t have a point, this will not change. I arranged him to defend the opponent’s outside core, focusing on the defensive end, to a certain extent. His shooting feel. He doesn’t do this every game."
　　 There are many offensive players in the team. Someone has to be a blue collar, otherwise the ball will not be enough points. Yang Rui talked to Christie during training. He was willing to accept the new role, but he didn't have a strong desire to attack.
　　 Last season, Butch Carter gave Christie unlimited shots in the late stage. His shots reached the peak of his career and averaged only 13.7 times per game.
　　 This season, the most reliable Raptors outside defense is Christie, in any case, he will be reused.
　　The shrinking season is a test for everyone, and the schedule is so tight that there is no time to celebrate the victory.
　　The Raptors and their entourage flew to Miami to challenge the Heat on the 11th.
　　 In this scene, the problem of the newcomer's instability began to appear, and Billups, who was still pretending to play, became a soft-footed shrimp today, allowing veteran Tim Hardaway to break through continuously.
Hardaway is the master of ball control in the NBA. The unpredictable crotch change is a signature action. He is considered to be the godfather of the crotch dribble in the NBA. Gary Payton once wanted to ask Hardaway for a trick." Killer crossover".
　　 The current Billups is still tender, just found a bit of defensive rhythm, and Mourning pulled out to pick and roll, turning into a test of Willis' defense ability.
　　The Raptors' counterattack was not played well. The Heat players are highly mobile and quick to defend. Once they reach the ground, the players don't have much cooperation.
　　 The final score was 90 to 102, the Raptors' winning streak was ended.
　　The Raptors players continued their poor playing experience, frequently throwing waves outside the three-point line.
　　 Carter and McGrady's current three-point ability can't be compared with the peak, Detrev shot less, the opportunity is not good not to shoot, the only reliable is Di Brown and Billups, not stable enough.
　　Yang Rui can arrange the same three-point tactics in the positional battle, but the Raptors players' shooting ability can not reach the level of the Knicks last season.
　　The Knicks have two three-point contest-level shooters. Houston, Starks, and Bruce Bowen have averaged 40% field goal percentage. Moreover, the Knicks are veterans, playing together for a few years, with a tacit understanding.
　　The Raptors are rebuilding the team. Everyone is not familiar with each other. They owe a lot to the quality of cover and the choice of shots.
　　Even if the shooting is not accurate, the Raptors still have the chance to win by virtue of the player's talent. Unfortunately, young players lack experience and there are a lot of unforeseen mistakes in the game.
　　 For example, it was easy to score, but chose to dunk empty. Once Carter didn't receive it, Tracy McGrady directly passed the sideline; another time Tracy McGrady passed the back of the basket and folded the dunk to catch the ball.
　　 They all wanted to perform too much. Carter once again missed the ball and wanted to buckle Moning. As a result, he was turned over to the ground with a ball and even surprised Yang Rui. If Carter was injured early in the season, it was an irreparable loss for the team.
　　 At the same time~EbookFREE.me~The Knicks started to win, relying on strong defense, the offensive returned to the old way of relying on the personal ability of the star, this is what Van Gundy is good at.
　　 Without Starks, the Knicks' ballless shields on both sides are not as sharp as the original, and the person who holds the ball is no longer Ewing. Sprewell has destroyed the team's original offensive system.
　　 One thing that hasn’t changed is that the Knicks are super strong. They have three All-Stars, multiple three-pointers and excellent bench depth.
　　 Four wins, two wins and two losses, the Knicks only scored 100 points in one game, the fans were very disappointed.
　　 In New York, there were many voices against Jeff Van Gundy. After winning the championship last season, the Knicks fans are no longer satisfied with the simple win, but also want to see the home team win beautifully.
　　The Raptors have won a lot of fans this season regardless of winning or losing. In contrast to the Knicks, scoring is almost always a shot. The five best have nothing to do with them.
　　 On the 13th, the Knicks played against the Raptors at home, the focus of this round.
　　Yang Rui arrived in New York with the team one day in advance, checked into the hotel, did not arrange player training, and took a day off to wait for the game to start.
At the beginning of the new season, many players were injured in the league. Yang Rui believes that health is the most important, and he has to play in the playoffs. He considers taking a roster when he is playing a weak team, and will not cost the players in training. physical strength.
　　 ESPN live broadcast, this season New York has the most live broadcasts in the United States.
　　 The media hype is very strong, the Knicks' offensive power has dropped sharply, and everyone knows who contributed to the outstanding offensive last season. Dissatisfied with the Knicks' current offensive, the New York media promoted the "Master-Apprentice Showdown", but did not specify who was the master.
　　 Yang Rui cares a lot about this game, and leading the team to defeat the Knicks is the best way to prove his strength.
