On the 11th, the Raptors challenged the Pistons away, winning 127 to 106.
In three days, the Raptors players have regained their spirits, and the Pistons haven't led the game once. After the start of the game, the Pistons 1 win and 5 losses, poor performance.
The same offense-based team, the Pistons are obviously inferior, the two major players Hill and Starkhouse overlap positions, both need to hold the ball to play the power.
In the face of a piston that shoots from outside and lacks the ability to attack on the inside, Yang Rui let McGrady play a power forward for a while. O'Neal played the small ball tactics. The two players were excellent in pick-and-roll prevention. Both Hill and Stackhouse became blacksmiths.
The Pistons had to wrap Carter. After the pick-and-roll, the veteran Mills couldn't resist the breakthrough. With a pack, Christie and Curry threw three points on the side. Christie made 4 of 8 shots and Curry made 6 of 9 shots.
Seven of the Raptors' team scored in double figures. Carter played only 25 minutes and scored 20 points. Tracy McGrady played 22 minutes and scored only 14 points.
After the game, veteran Dell-Curry attended the press conference and was sought after by reporters. He averaged 12.5 points, 2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 20 minutes per game. He shot 45.2% from the field, 47% from the 3-point range, and made 3 to 2 points.
An efficient shooter who can shoot the future MVP, because the lack of organizational skills, the Bucks are not willing to give him even 2 million annual salary. Fortunately, this is not a problem for the Raptors. As a point guard, Curry does not need to organize, and even the ball is the work of Carter and McGrady after halftime. He just waits outside the three-point line.
A group of reporters asked Yang Rui about his thoughts, and he felt that he was a big mouth, and it was easy to break big news.
"Jerry, the Raptors started five straight games. In the official strength list, the Raptors have risen to the first place. How did you do all this?"
"I tell the players to do their jobs well, don't fight around, and then eat on the sidelines and watch the ball for free as fans." Yang Rui answered with a smile.
The reporter asked: "Do you think Carter can become a regular season MVP? If he succeeds this season, it is the youngest MVP in history."
"I thought he could get the MVP, but now it seems a little dangling." Yang Rui answered seriously.
The reporter then asked: "Why?"
"Because he was restricted from playing by a very powerful opponent, I also feel very tricky, there is no good way to adjust, this opponent comes every game, called "Garbage Time"!"
The reporters in the room shot wildly. This was too arrogant, and the news appeared.
Yang Rui's evaluation of Carter made the headlines of many media on the second day and became popular all over the world.
If I look farther than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of the keyboard man.
After 2010, there are countless pieces on the global network, and in the era when this network was just emerging, great pieces like Yang Rui are rare in the world. Fans have discussed this.
"This is probably the most arrogant statement that coaches have made in NBA history? Can you give similar examples?"
"Garbage time is Carter's biggest enemy with MVP. Hasn't Jordan been treated like this? God comment."
"The Raptors' most eye-catching person is the coach Jerry Young, who dares to say anything. Compared with him, Reggie Miller, Barkley, Payton are not big mouths."
"I think Jerry Yang can become a star without hosting a basketball coach and hosting a talk show."
Carter's expression at the press conference was also hot. He was interviewed after Yang Rui. When the reporter said Yang Rui's evaluation of him, he stayed for five seconds.
Carter said: "Of course I hope to meet the requirements of the coach and play a better game. It would be better if I could win the MVP and championship."
The happiest person is not the Raptors fans, but the president David Stern.
Carter's popularity this season is invincible, with jerseys and sneakers selling first in the league. He is even more topical than Jordan, who has just entered the league. He is only the fifth overall pick, pointing directly to the championship and MVP in the second season.
All of this is Yang Rui rushing Carter away, making him want to be low-key. To be good in the American sports world, you must have a personality, and low-key people must be prepared to be seen by the president and forgotten by the media.
The most typical example is Ray Allen. After entering the league, he has better stats in the Bucks than Kobe and has more offensive efficiency. But Kobe's 98 Star Game is, who knows who Ray Allen is?
The Raptors returned to the home, Yang Rui did not arrange training, and gave the players a day off first, only to meet the 76ers challenge on November 14, a nationwide live game.
During the holiday, he and Stanna Cartick dated in Toronto and went to the playground. Some paparazzi followed, sent pictures of them on the street, and made news.
Whether it was because Yang Rui was not white or he was too arrogant to speak, some media questioned his professional ethics, thinking that he was not working hard enough and left the players alone.
The 76ers' coach is the famous old stubborn Larry Brown. The media compares the two and makes the game gimmicky. The 76ers are a team that wins by defense. This is a contest between spears and shields.
In addition, the two most popular outside stars in the league's star-making movement are Carter and Iverson. The contest between the two is very attractive, and fans expect them to score. Before the game started, it was already hot.
Iverson has a resounding nickname answer! Unlike Carter, a "half-human half-god", Iverson has attracted more civilian fans. Especially black people born in slums like him and regard him as an example.
Carter's mother and adoptive father are both teachers, but they lived as a child when they were poor, and they spent relatively little money in middle school. He is good at playing saxophone, was a conductor of high school band, and won a music scholarship.
Iverson has always lived at the bottom of the society, the figure is like ordinary people, wearing shoes registered height 183CM, weight 75 kg. He became the shortest scoring leader in history last season. Is there a more inspirational story?
Of course, there are more people who like Carter, the reason is simple, because he is good at dunking, and he is more beautiful than Jordan dunking.
Yang Rui did not intend to let Carter and Iverson score points in this game, but let another person grab the spotlight, so he chatted with McGrady alone in the morning training.
"Tracy ~EbookFREE.me~ asks you a question, if you are to match Iverson, do you have the confidence to defend him? Don't let him play super data."
McGrady thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "I will mainly defend against breakthroughs and use his height and wingspan to interfere with his shots. But it is difficult to prevent him. He is too fast and the 76ers' inside players will cover him. As long as he gets rid of it, I can’t catch up behind.
"I like you, to be honest, don't brag." Yang Rui laughed.
McGrady vomited, since you don’t like braggers, what did you say in the interview?
Yang Rui asked again: "For another question, if Iverson defends you, how many points do you think you can get?"
"It depends on how many shots I can get." McGrady replied.
"As long as you play against Snow or Iverson, you have unlimited shot power." Yang Rui smiled and said: "Other people play defense and pass again, this time you play like this."
"Really? Then I can score more than 50 points." Tracy McGrady surprised.
