The Knicks quickly found a way to adjust. Houston went to the bottom corner to attract defense, opened up space, and gave the on-line position to Larry Johnson.
In this way, O'Neal could not stay on the bottom line and returned to the rim to help defend the block at any time.
Little O'Neal was withdrawn from the basket, and Ewing singled out to play, and Bowen couldn't stand it. Yang Rui also immediately adjusted, shouted on the sidelines, O'Neal and Bai Bowen swapped positions.
Next, the Raptors newcomers experienced the Knicks' defensive strength. There were no obvious holes in each position. The five young men scored by counterattacks, and the efficiency was not high.
After half a quarter, Willis replaced Bai Bowen to strengthen the defense and rebound protection in the penalty area. The Raptors did not badly. After the first quarter, they were only 4 points behind 21 to 25.
The reputation of the players on both sides is not at the same level. The Raptors can be proud of starting against. In fact, the Knicks can be stronger, but only a few stars have not played the best level, limiting each other's play.
Too many stars are also prone to problems. The core is unknown and the ball rights are not easy to allocate.
Yang Rui's previous life, the first year of the Heat's Big Three, the star has the strongest personal ability, but because of the unknown core, he lost the finals.
In the second year, Wade suffered a decline in injury and illness, took the initiative to abdicate, let James, establish James as the core, the Heat successfully won the championship.
The NBA almost has an unwritten rule of speaking out the team leader. For example, at the beginning of the Rocket period was the core of McGrady, to the core of Yao Ming in the later period, these were all put on the surface.
O'Neal joined the Heat and made it clear that he came to assist Zovide.
And Sprewell joined the Knicks, because Ewing was too old, he did not explicitly say that he was a younger brother, Van Gundy also very ambiguously did not mention this matter, wanted to let the "madman" who is good at holding the ball to take over Ewing .
The Knicks management is right. After all, Ewing is close to 37 years old, but he won the MVP last season. As one of the best players in the league, how can he be willing to give up the boss position this year?
In the second quarter, the Raptors sent Willis, Detrev, McGrady, Christie, Di Brown. Make sure there are four people who can shoot.
Van Gundy gave Sprewell a break for the first quarter, and came with a bench score in the second quarter, plus four blue collars.
Christie focused on taking care of the "madman", two veterans guarded the restricted area, the Raptors' defense was solid.
In the case of no room for teammates, the "madman" breakthrough constantly encountered a double-team, several forced shots missed the basket under interference, and outside shots, Christie can interfere.
"Mad man" can not be opened, other people can not score by their own abilities.
The Knicks' second-team defense is even better than the starter. The Raptors' bench is not good for scoring, and the score continues to stand still.
Zhang reasonable sighed: "The Knicks are still very strong, but this way of playing don't think fans buy it, and it is too ugly than their last season, with only 87 points per game. From the league's first attack to the countdown of attack power, it turned out Only need to change an assistant coach."
Sun Zhengping said: "The most incredible thing is that the Raptors were one of the worst offense teams in the league last season. Now they are averaging more than 100 points per game and are still regulars in the top five."
Zhang reasonable smiled and said: "You can bring the rebuilding team to play like this, Yang Rui is worth this life."
He was only 24 years old, and he seemed to be able to go with peace of mind.
While the official suspension, the two sides replaced, Ewing, Yang Rui immediately sent O'Neal, the two sides continue to grind their positions.
The Knicks have a good defense, and the Raptors can't make it.
The Raptors lack a man who has an absolute advantage in speed. Carter and McGrady are outstanding in the swingman position, but Billups is not advancing fast enough.
Yang Rui was very helpless about this. In his previous life, Billups was not good at speed. Even in the peak period, Billups is limited by speed, not a top star. The ability to move fast enough makes the Pistons sometimes choose Hamilton to face when facing a quick guard.
Di Brown is fast enough and poorly organized. Like a 185CM shooting guard, he had better not take the ball and shoot the ball.
In order to strengthen the defense, Yang Rui refrigerated John Wallace and did not play for a minute in the first half.
His face was extremely gloomy, his expression was fierce and ghostly, and his murderousness was greater than that of the Golden Lion who found Cheng Kun to take revenge. At this time, if anyone finds him guilty, he can scream a lot of people.
John Wallace was selected by the Knicks in the first round in 1996, when Van Gundy was the young coach who just took office, and he was not needed. After arriving at the Raptors, although he failed to defeat the Knicks, he obtained excellent data.
Today, he hopes to show his performance against the old club, but he didn't expect to even have a chance to play.
His heart was full of complaints. He was a starter last season, averaging 14+5 per game. Was this kid not allowed him to play? Was he blind?
He is going to contact his agent tonight and say that he must leave the Raptors as soon as possible. If he goes now, he can still use the previous season’s data as a qualification to fight for reuse. If he plays for a season under Yang Rui, the data will fall to He couldn’t imagine how hard it was to get a big contract in the summer.
John's idea is not strange, Yang Rui really does not look down on him, because this person does not want to be aggressive.
John is not incapable of shooting ~EbookFREE.me~ He has a certain ability to shoot. If he diligently practices, he will definitely improve the hit rate, and it is not surprising to practice a three-pointer. But he did not want to practice, but instead complained that the coach would not let him play on his body.
Formulated a training plan for John. Yang Rui only felt that his good intentions had been disappointed. It was like kindly suggesting someone go to Lanxiang Technical School to learn the skill of digging with a forklift. As a result, the goods didn't listen, saying "I just rely on the body, and I have to carry the sack with strength."
In addition to spontaneous self-destruction, is there any other way? Yang Rui also wanted to send him away.
It's just that he doesn't deliberately arrange John to brush the data. Every game in the shrinking season is very important. The difference between winning and losing may decide the final ranking.
In the second half, the two sides fight for the stars and pull out the heads-up.
Yang Rui arranged rotation, O'Neill Jr. and Detrev went out to open up space, giving Carter and McGrady a position to hit the basket, Billups and Christie were responsible for the corner three-pointer, and veteran Willis was responsible for guarding the penalty area. .
The Raptors mainly rotated seven people. Alvin Williams, Dyblon, Miller, and John Wallace also played for a while in the final quarter.
grinded until the last two minutes, the score is 84 to 87, the Raptors trailed by 3 points, and control the ball.
Fan Gandy took a group of stars. When he was strong or weak, he was always able to fight the opponent to the end.
Yang Rui asked for a timeout. When it comes time to test the on-the-spot situation, both sides must stabilize and not make mistakes. Any mistakes may lead to a loss of competition.
Yang Rui knows Van Gundy very well. At this time, Van Gundy will definitely emphasize defense. With his most trusted and most famous players in the team, he will not take rushing to the offensive rebound as the first task, trying to defend the advantage.
Yang Rui is different, he did not plan to fight defense with the opponent, decided to make a strange move.
