Chapter 179: [Eastern finals, lack of people]


At the press conference, the Knicks players expressed their disappointment. Van Gundy summed up the game and said that the veteran's physical weakness is the main reason for the loss. ??
   Van Gundy made Ewing 35 minutes in the regular season, and improved to 4o minutes in the playoffs. It can support this time without hurting. It is already a credit for the change of offensive tactics. If Ewing could have physical strength, unless he was really Vajra.
Yang Rui commented on the game and said: "I am proud of all Raptors players. No matter the veteran or the newcomer, everyone is working very hard. With the fighting spirit, we laughed to the end. I think that the Raptors have the strength to compete for the championship. The final result is a perfect season for the Raptors."
  No reporter felt that Yang Rui made a rant, and the elimination of the Knicks is the best proof.
   The reporter asked: "Do you think the Raptors can win this year?"
   "We are the biggest dark horse, and of course we hope that one will be black. But to be honest, it is very difficult. The Heat are not easy to fight, and the two Western Conference teams have the same luxurious lineup."
   The reporter asked: "Which team do you think the West is going to the final?"
Yang Rui replied without thinking: "The Spurs, they have proven their strength in sweeping the Lakers and have the strongest inside combination in the league. Although the Blazers have an amazing lineup depth, the playoff star's swing will directly affect the outcome. Duncan is a top star and it is difficult to deal with."
  Yang Rui didn't talk much, the Raptors' biggest weakness was that the core was too young, and neither Carter nor McGrady was a superstar.
   And the schedule is too tight, the Raptors and his party flew to Miami that night, preparing for the Eastern Conference finals, only one day off.
   Yang Rui did not arrange training the next day, allowing the players to recover their strength. The Heat have been resting for several days. They are fighting at home again. Taking advantage, the Raptors can only fight with perseverance.
  Yang Rui stayed in the hotel to watch the news, and the media were all braving the raptors and demoting the Knicks. Can reverse the Knicks in an unfavorable situation, the media is difficult to find the Raptors black spots.
   Some people say that Sprewell is a "cancer". When he joined the Knicks, the team did not cooperate as well as last season.
   Some people say that Ewing's strength is overestimated. His performance this season is indeed average, and he has no overwhelming advantage in the match with Willis.
   Others believe that Van Gundy will definitely be out of class in the summer. He is far behind Yang Rui. The Knicks must find a better coach to teach in order to have a future.
   Frightened the Raptors management, many media mentioned that Yang Rui's contract is only one year, summer is a free man, there must be many teams interested in him, including the league's traditional strong.
  Yang Rui became a fan, most people believe that he brought the Raptors out of results is not accidental, because no one was optimistic about this team last summer. If the new contract does not satisfy Yang Rui, he can leave.
  On the morning of the 3o, the Raptors players adapted to training, shot, and ended after running tactics. There was no confrontation.
Yang Rui summoned the players to boost morale and said, "I think it's still too early to take a holiday, so everyone has to go all out to win this series. You don't have any psychological burden. If you lose, no one will blame you. Everyone is confident. Won?"
   "Yes!" everyone shouted together.
   Yang Rui said aloud: "Let's dedicate a wonderful game to the fans tonight."
the reality is cruel. As a dark horse, against the Heat, the fans are now showing that the Raptors players have physical problems, and people are trapped.
  The Heat's offensive power is very poor, but under the leadership of Pat Riley, they have a way to reduce the rhythm and fight with their opponents to defend. The player's quick back defense limits the Raptors' counterattack.
   The Raptors core can't run. Seven games, only one day off, the schedule is not very reasonable, but by the end of May, the shrinking season has been longer than usual.
   Outside players have poor shooting skills and can't catch Hardaway's short weakness; Willis and O'Neal's offense under the basket are also not good. Heat Moning and pj Brown are all defensive experts in the restricted area.
  The Raptors did a good job on the defensive end. The two teams grinded until the last two minutes to decide the victory or defeat.
  Mo Ning scored a mid-range shot. After the pick-and-roll, the ball was cut open, squeezed out of McGrady's dunk, and the difference was widened to 5 points.
   The Raptors players were tied for iron and forced to use foul tactics. Hardaway made two free throws to lock in the victory. 76 to 83.
  The Raptors attacked far below average, and worse, Di Brown was injured.
   Di Brown is only 185cm tall and weighs 73kg, but he is courageous and aggressive on the court, which is one of his commendable characteristics.
  However, as a dry chicken, such a play will inevitably lead to an increased chance of injury.
  Played more than 1 minute in the last quarter, the Raptors O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound and attacked twice, Di Brown actually rushed to the basket, ready to grab the rebound. O'Neal scored that goal and then retreated. Di Brown accidentally stepped on Witherspoon's feet when he landed after taking off.
   Witherspoon's figure is very different, people with fat feet are fatter, those feet are like bean bags, and not special shoes are not good for stuffing meat inside. Stepping on Witherspoon's feet is like stepping on a smooth big pebble, and then lay eggs.
   Di Brown's right ankle was almost folded to 9o degrees, and immediately fell to the ground, crawling out of the field while crawling, crying out in pain. The referee paused, and the Raptors team doctor hurried forward to check, and together with the staff, helped Di Brown back to the locker room.
   After inspection, Di Brown will rest for more than four weeks and be reimbursed for the season.
   Take a day off, the two sides battle.
   This time Yang Rui strengthened the rotation. In the second quarter, he gave the benches a chance to perform, hoping that they could score through the run and hit the audience to play their role.
   It's a pity that Bai Bowen and Alvin Williams' shots are too poor~EbookFREE.me~ has become the focus of the other party. Bowen scored three points in the regular season, a bit of data, into the playoffs to become a blue-collar.
   Carter did not play well against Marsh Ben. The opponent was stronger, constantly looking for confrontations and disrupting the rhythm of the shot. Carter forced a breakthrough, will be caught inside the Heat inside.
   McGrady has an advantage against Dan Marley, and on the premise that the fast break can not be played, he can only shoot in the middle and long distance.
   Two core hit rate is not high, the outside Billups, Christie three-point sense of general, the Raptors can not break the Heat's defense. Di Brown has a good three-point ability, he missed due to injury, the Raptors' peripheral performance worse.
   Yang Rui is very helpless for this. He has repeatedly emphasized that Carter and McGrady practiced three points during the season, and the game still only had a 30% shooting percentage. They need time to improve, but this season they have no time.
   The more you miss the 3-pointer, the tighter your opponent shrinks and the more difficult the breakthrough. Veteran Willis and Detrev are stable players. After all, they are only role players. They have limited scores and cannot lead the team to win.
  The Raptors defended in the same way, limiting Hardaway's breakthrough, but Mourning could attack from a low post, and could also pick and shoot after the pick-and-roll. Marsh instinctively scored with his personal ability, and the offensive means was abundant.
   In Yang Rui's previous life, Marsh was injured in the round against the Knicks. Now he actually reached the Eastern Conference finals and jumped alive, making Yang Rui very depressed.
   Finally 83 to 87, the Raptors lost another game, the total score o behind 2.
