Chapter 216: [Questioning the concept, beating the experts]

Both sides dedicated a wonderful Christmas war for fans.
After discussing with the assistant coach, Van Gundy decided to reduce the number of rounds, quickly return to the defense, reduce the fight for the rebound in the frontcourt, and stabilize the defense. Ewing is responsible for guarding the restricted area, speeding up the rotation on the periphery, increasing the number of offensive guards to break through, trying to hit the basket, and shooting on the premise of ensuring the shooting percentage.
The Knicks players' three military services were used to do everything Van Gundy requested.
They made 37 of 71 shots and shot 52.1% of their shots; lowering their opponents' shooting percentage. The Raptors made 31 of 76 shots, only 40.8% of their shots, 11 percentage points lower.
The Knicks led 41-38 in rebounds, 17-15 in assists and 27-24 in free throws.
Fans who only look at the statistics, 80% would think that the Knicks slaughtered the Raptors, but the result was 101 to 90, the Raptors won 11 points.
The Knicks made 1 of 7 3-pointers and 14.3% from the field. The Raptors made 17 of 38 3-pointers. Half of the field goal was outside the three-point line. The shooting rate was 44.7%, more accurate than two-pointers.
The Knicks made 15 of 27 free throws, Ben Wallace's personal 10 of 3, 13 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the game to conceal the nature of the offensive pit father.
The Raptors made 22 of 24 free throws, scoring more points than the Knicks. If a team is good at shooting, McGrady's free throws are bad.
In addition, the Knicks also made a lot of mistakes, 17-9, Sprewell came to the point guard, the organization of the pass is not as stable as the orthodox point guard.
Taking more shots near the basket, the higher the hit rate, the easier it is to win the basketball concept has been questioned again.
The next day, espn columnist Duff Waou wrote: "The Raptors have always won by the outside advantage. I don’t know that the old-school coaches who adhere to the players to hit the basket and ensure that the two-point shooting rate is the key to winning are now. What do you think? Do you still think Jerry Yang doesn’t understand basketball? It’s more like they don’t know how to count now."
A group of people on the Internet immediately laughed that Van Gundy didn't know how to count. The unlucky Van Gundy was lying down. Although his team lost, it was obviously better than Larry Brown and Popovich. At least there was a chance to win.
The protagonist in Mark Twain's "Governing for Governor" is not afraid to read the newspaper after being framed. It becomes a little bit worried when he picks up the newspaper, just as he wants to pick up a blanket when he sleeps, but he is always worried, afraid that there will be Snake-like.
Now Van Gundy is even more miserable, and he is afraid to turn on the computer. Just as the same as opening the news page, a sada will crawl out of it...
On the 26th, the Raptors defeated the Cavaliers 131 to 95 away.
The Cavaliers' starting line-up was Bravin Knight and Bob Sula. The defense was terrible and was badly beaten. Carter 36 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, O'Neal 32 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists.
On the 28th, the Raptors defeated the Mavericks 119 to 104 away, and the team of four was 20+.
The highlight of the Mavericks is second-year rookie Nowitzki, 12 of 17 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
On the 30th, the Raptors beat the Rockets 125 to 79.
Rockets forward Charles Barkley, center Olajuwon truce due to injury, the core of the team is Mobley and Dickson two young outsiders, unable to confront the Raptors.
Perhaps because of his love for basketball, Barkley played as hard as ever. Even if he was covered with injuries, his average playing time was still maintained at 31 minutes. The large double-doubles are just as usual, averaging 14.5 points and 10.5 per game. Rebounds, shooting 47.7%.
However, even if Barkley played his life, the Rockets still struggled to win, which made him more and more irritable. In the game against the Lakers on November 19th, he had a fight with O'Neill.
After being fouled maliciously, Barkley took the ball directly to O'Neill's head, then hugged O'Neill to overturn it to the ground, and gave the Shark a few old punches on the ground. Since then, O'Neill has been labeled a "fancy" by fans and the media.
On December 8th, in the game against the 76ers of the old club, Buckley strained his quadriceps and Achilles tendon while actively fighting for rebounds. It was the thunderous applause of Philadelphia fans that sent him off.
Barkley missed at least 4 months, the season was basically reimbursed, and his career was about to end.
In the summer, the Raptors management invited Barkley, "Flying Pig" refused, and after Yang Rui shouted the championship slogan, he interviewed and publicly stated that they would not win the championship by looking at the Raptors.
Barkley commented on the Raptors: "Jerry Young felt that the Raptors entered the finals last season. After a year of running-in, the team will be better and ideal. Last season, he relied on a unique basketball philosophy. To win, the opponent is not comfortable, so it is not good to defend. This season, other teams are familiar with the Raptors' routines and will definitely come up with a response."
Now the Raptors have the highest voice to win the championship, but Barkley can only wait for retirement. Another reporter asked Barkley to comment on the Raptors, and he said nothing.
Of course, there is a reason for Barkley to stay in the team. The Rockets gave him two years of high salary, an average of 9 million. From a certain point of view, the money was used as compensation for the Rockets to join Barkley's salary cut but failed to win the championship. What is sad is that the annual salary of 9 million is not uncommon now, but Barkley's career is the highest. Before the Rockets, he only earned a maximum of 4.7 million a season.
In addition to Barkley, many experts were beaten. They didn’t understand why the Raptors are so strong. The core of the team is obviously a previously unknown person.
The so-called experts are mostly a group of followers.
If you are a rebirth, when you look at the Raptors lineup, you will never say that the players are not famous, they will only sigh: "I rely on, can this lineup let others play?"
The Raptors record 28 wins and 1 loss, the start is too sturdy, countless fans think they will break the Bulls regular season best record.
