Chapter 254: [I washed my hands with pure water]

After the Pacers were replaced, the maneuverability of the inside was strengthened. Davis defended O'Neal. The two are similar in shape, and O'Neal is not so easy to play.
After a minute, Yang Rui also made adjustments, replaced Brad Miller and Christie, and replaced Cato and McGrady.
Larry Bird builds the team with a balance between offense and defense. Man-to-man defense changes quickly, guards against outside shots, and at least keeps a big man to guard the penalty area. The Pacers have done better than the Raptors in driving down the outside line. Their opponents averaged only 32.7% of their three-pointers per game during the regular season and made 4 of 12.3 shots.
The opponent was good at preventing three-point shots, and Yang Rui went the other way, allowing the players to hit the basket as much as possible, so he sent a heavy inside Cato.
Dale Davis is 211m tall and weighs only 104 kg. Croshill, who came off the bench, was 208m tall and weighed 106 kilograms. He was not strong enough to make a small forward appearance. Their ability to protect the frame is limited.
The Raptors' tactics turned into Tracy McGrady's midfielder with the ball on the attack. The two insiders screened Carter and Billups on both sides to help them run and catch the ball.
McGrady attracted Ross defense. Carter received a pass from the side. Heading up Reggie Miller had a physical advantage. If he attracted a change of defense, Carter hung the ball inside, and O'Neal had a greater advantage in singles Reggie Miller.
The right side Cato and Billups cover the same way. Billups catches the ball. Even if Jackson bypasses the cover, it is difficult to stop him from hanging inside.
Although Cato's offensive technique is rough, after all, he has a height of 211m and a weight of 125 kg. His strength and explosiveness are not comparable to Croshill.
Sure enough, Reggie Miller was soon suppressed by Carter.
His defensive attitude is very good, but it is limited by his body, so the effect is general. He is often eaten by strong men. He can only whisper in his ears when he is facing the star to disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm.
Carter played Reggie Miller in a very simple way. He leaned his back and turned to the bottom line or the middle. When he could start, he took the ball and forced a layup. Miller followed closely, he turned around and jumped.
The Raptors trident was present together, unable to contain. Cato went low after the screen and was able to grab a rebound in the frontcourt.
Bird happened to be a coach who didn't like to arrange double-teams. His game of the era was mainly heads-up. Against the Knicks and the Heat, the Pacers can win with a slightly better offense, and they are heads-up with the Raptors. They are all in the disadvantage.
34 to 20 in the first quarter, the Raptors lead.
In the second quarter, the Raptors battled mainly, but still opened the heads-up.
Boykins, Christie, Detrev, Brad Miller outside the three-point line, to create a single chance for McGrady.
In order to strengthen the offensive, experienced veterans Willis and Hornacek continue to sit on the bench.
Bird let Rose continue to play against McGrady, the other four are 180m point guard Travis Best, veteran shooting guard Chris Mullin, inside is Crohill partner 39-year-old veteran Sam Parkin Sri Lanka.
Boykins once again played a role, entangled Best. Best's organization ability is average, relying on the breakthrough and scoring guards, holding the ball is difficult to beat Boykins.
Christy defends Ross, and McGrady defends veteran Mullin. Once the Pacers miss the shot, the Raptors immediately fight back. McGrady can get the chance to bully the veteran with the ball.
In the position of the Ross main defense, McGrady scored the ball, Boykins and Brad Miller played pick and roll, can create a misplaced attack opportunity.
After 6 minutes, the point difference widened to 20 points. The Pacers returned to the main force, the Raptors O'Neal replaced Detrev, Carter played for Christie, Billups replaced Boykins.
This is the Raptors' strongest attacking lineup. Yang Rui was the Big Five in his previous life. He will shoot, and any three people can form a triangle attack line.
Bird did not dare to change Schmidz, Davis and Perkins partner inside. But Perkins was 39 years old and could not jump. O'Neal singled him out clearly. Going to prevent Miller, the speed can't keep up with McGrady and Carter after the pick-and-roll.
In order to protect the penalty area, Davis needs to withdraw the assist defense, the ball points out, Brad Miller and Billups each made a three-pointer. Brad Miller also attracted Ross to make up the defense, assisting McGrady with a dunk.
At the end of the half, the Raptors led 70 to 42, and the two teams looked completely different.
The Raptors fans were more fanatical than last season. The stadium was also noisy at halftime. Fans chatted and sang.
Yang Rui took a rotation in the second half, the point guard went to Boykins, shooting guard Hornacek, small forward Zumine Jones, and insider Detrev and Cato.
Bird sent Schmidz again. Boykins and Cato's pick-and-rolls were not easy to guard. The other three didn't run outside the three-point line to make room for breakthroughs.
The Pacers sent the strongest attacking lineup, two players from the outside started to show off, scoring 33 points in a single quarter. But the Raptors also have a way to score, scoring 25 points in a single quarter.
95 to 75, the Raptors led 20 into the final quarter.
After a full quarter of rest, McGrady and Brad Miller returned to the field. The Raptors' attack was unstoppable, and soon the score difference was increased to 28 points, entering garbage time.
At 122 to 97, the Pacers lost their temper.
The Raptors scored in double figures, O'Neal played 34 minutes, scored 36 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, the best performance in the game.
Carter had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and McGrady had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
Cato also performed well this time, he only played 20 minutes, scored 12 points and 8 rebounds, 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, staged 4 dunks!
Schmidz came on the field, preventing poor pick-and-roll and O'Neal; Schmidz was away, Cato cut to the rim, it was difficult for other people to resist, not to mention the big guys often need to change guards against the Raptors.
After the game, Bird did not want to shake hands with Yang Rui, his expression was extremely embarrassing. Yang Rui was sitting on the sidelines watching the play in the second half, drinking drinks and snacks, and did not call a timeout.
As one of NBA's greatest pretenders, Bird has many famous sayings. In Yang Rui’s previous life, even as a manager for many years, once Kobe said that Dream Ten could beat Dream One, Bird showed his eloquence, he responded lightly: "It’s not easy to say, they are indeed possible, after all, we have more than a dozen Not playing in years."
This time Bird had no chance to pretend to be, and Yang Ruiqi was blushing. Because Yang Rui looked at him sincerely, he said: "Don't worry, I washed my hands with pure water."
Hearing this, Bird won't feel any respect~EbookFREE.me~ Wash your sister, are you really here to lead the team to play the game? !
At the press conference after the game, the reporter asked Yang Rui about tactics.
Yang Rui smiled: "Our tactics are very simple, as you can see, pull open, heads-up or pick-and-roll after a single pick. The defensive attitude should be better, stare at your own people, don't lose position."
The reporter asked: "How many points do you give the team's performance today?"
"One point, not to mention 99 points because I am afraid they are too proud. After all, we won't get the championship until June." Yang Rui turned into a man again.
The reporters went straight to Sparta. Just after a fight, did they show that they did not take the walkers into their eyes?
ps: "The Pope of the Basket Altar" stayed on the monthly book list of the new book for a month, but now the top ten is not stable. If my monthly ticket was eventually overtaken by books that were only available in the middle of the month, it would be too annoying.
A new chapter is added today, updated at 9, 11, 15, 17 hours.
