Chapter 255: [Sweep again, crow mouth]

Yang Rui didn't really take the Pacers into consideration. The Pacers' tactics are similar to that of the Raptors. The biggest star is Reggie Miller. How can he win?
Except for the Raptors, there are really no strong teams this year.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the Pacers reached the finals in 2000, because the overall strength of the eastern team is too weak. If the final is not Kobe's sprained ankle, it is estimated that the Lakers will be swept.
The only thing Yang Rui has to be careful about is that McGrady and Carter should not be injured by Jaylen Rose, so he arranged for O'Neal to attack instead of the two swingers breaking through.
After retiring, Rose participated in ESPN's talk show, publicly admitting that he had extended his black foot towards Kobe.
"The 2000 NBA Finals. Kobe Bryant took a jump shot on the right. I was responsible for the defense. Kobe stepped on my foot. He limped into the field and missed the next game." Rose Pressed by the reporter, he said: "I think I did it on purpose. I can't say it was an accident."
Then Rose said that after five and a half years, he paid a price for this behavior. Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in the face of the Raptors he played, and he went all out in the match.
In the past life of Yang Rui, the Raptors sucked. Now, with this Raptors, even if Kobe drinks a bottle of stimulant and plays two extra hours, he can't get 81 points.
The Raptors players were also very high profile in the interview, and they all felt that the team could win the championship.
Carter said: "We are the best team, everyone believes in this, and the rest just needs to listen to Jerry's arrangement, he is always right."
O'Neal laughed: "I like this role in the team, I really hope that every game can play like this, I think I am really a star."
In the second game, Yang Rui continued to arrange O'Neal as the core offensive, and Carter attracted Rose to the three-point line and other opportunities.
When McGrady came off the bench, Miller had an advantage. Bird gave Rose a defense against McGrady, and the ball was immediately transferred to Carter and O'Neal.
When there is no possession, Carter and McGrady naturally put their energy on the defensive end, and Ross and Miller face defensive pressure.
108 to 85, the Raptors won easily, leading 2 to 0.
After two seasons, the Raptors' defensive progress has been obvious. Christie and O'Neal have the best performances. McGrady and Billups are not bad. When Cato played, the Raptors' no-go zone was the no-fly zone. Even Carter can reach the league average.
The pressure is all on the Pacers side. Although the two outside stars can score many points per game, but the shooting rate is only about 40%. Without the third strong attack point, the Pacers can not threaten the Raptors. .
The worst performance for the Pacers is center Schmidz, who entered the playoffs. As the second-highest power center in the league, he can only average 11 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. This series was even worse. The Raptors grabbed him and slammed him. Bird no longer dared to use him. The playing time was shortened to 18 minutes. He didn't score in double figures in either game.
The team's third scoring point was Crowhill, who averaged 9.4 points per game. What a tragedy?
Back at home, the Pacers still failed to defeat the Raptors under the premise of having a home whistle, 102 to 108 defeated.
The Pacers scored in double figures with five players, and Crohill scored 4 of 5 three-pointers, playing at a super level. It is a pity that the Raptors' offense played more beautifully.
Brad Miller had 17 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, and 3 of 5 three-pointers were outstanding.
O'Neal made 17 of 31 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, 10 of 13 free throws, 45 points and 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
The two inside stars got the Pacers. O'Neal got crazy after getting unlimited shots. Not only did he score a few jumpers, but he also showed a gorgeous footstep in the low post. As long as Davis guards out, Schmidz and Crohill , Perkins has no way.
O'Neal is too fast. Unlike the inside, he can take the ball and turn to the middle or the bottom line. Receiving the ball in the face frame, he can also take a three-threatening posture like a swingman, jump shot or break through and divide the ball.
After the game, the Pacers' management did not discuss how to win, but envy the Raptors' depth inside. It would be nice if they could dig O'Neal or Brad Miller into the array.
Bird also felt that when O'Neal reached the Pacers, he was definitely the core of the inside and his strength would be greatly improved.
In the fourth game, O'Neal finally became a blacksmith. Billups, who played three soy sauces, stood up again. He made 10 of 17 shots, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 30 points and 5 assists. .
Five of the team scored in double figures, and even Carter, the second-highest scorer with only 14 points, was enough to help the Raptors beat their weak opponents.
The Raptors defeated the Pacers 94-78, swept 4-0 again, and advanced to the finals.
Rose made 5 of 15 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, only 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists; Miller made 6 of 16 shots, 2 of 9 3-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 16 points and 4 rebounds 1 assists.
Although "Miller Moment" has gained popularity, he hasn't had a few times in his life. Most of the time, he cast his iron at the last moment and then lost the game.
Schmidt's performance was terrible. He played 12 minutes, made 0 of 6 shots, 0 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
If it weren't for backup point guard Best, he made two three-pointers in the end and scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The Pacers would be slaughtered at home.
At the press conference, Bird congratulated Yang Rui and did not comment much on the game.
Reggie Miller said with frustration: "The Raptors have players inside and outside, which is too strong. Even the 1996 Bulls, I don't think they can win this Raptors."
Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief because Rose didn't stretch his black feet.
In different positions, Rose didn't make a difference. In Yang Rui's previous life, the Pacers were very close to the champion. The Lakers have two stars, one reimbursement, the Pacers may win the championship ring, so Rose did so.
Ross also chose Kobe smartly. If O'Neill stretched his black foot towards a jumper, the result might be that his foot was crushed into a crushing fracture.
Now if the Pacers want to win, at least they have to abolish the two Raptors stars, of course Ross will not do it. He is not so professional in hurting people, even if he can do it, he will not be confused in the future, David Stern will clean up him.
The reporter asked Yang Rui: "Which team do you think the West will enter the finals?"
Yang Rui thought for a while~EbookFREE.me~ said with a smile: "I'm optimistic about the Lakers, but I'm afraid I have to wait a few days to play the finals. Although the Lakers lead the Blazers 3 to 1, the gap between the two sides is not obvious. I'm optimistic that the Blazers will win next game, and then go back home to make persistent efforts to drag the game into the tie-break. I hope the Lakers will not be reversed 1 to 3, it would be too shameful."
Yang Rui's bad taste came again, but this is a good opportunity to pretend to be a stick. Without a crow's mouth, the Lakers disgusted, sorry for the identity of the reborn.
All reporters are happy, this is big news!
What is strength grabbing? Yang Rui always has a way to grab the limelight of players by mouth guns. No coach in the NBA has done this before.
Is it still possible to play against the morale of opponents? Sounds like a curse.
The reporters couldn't wait to see how the Lakers reacted after the news was released. Before the Western Conference finals were finished, Yang Rui wanted to fight against each other, which was very rare...
