Chapter 293: 【Place where NMR occurs】

In the first round of the playoffs, the Raptors swept the Knicks easily 3-0.
Yang Rui arranges for players to include Sprewell every game. Ben Wallace can be empty after the outer cover. He cuts to the basket and uses the "cut shark tactic", which is easy to deal with.
The Raptors' defense against Kurt Thomas is not tight, low-level single defense, close to the outer two steps, shrink to the restricted area, prevent breakthroughs, and let him shoot.
The two Knicks' short inside scoring ability is not strong. Once the connection between the "madman" and his teammates is cut off, the Knicks can't shoot outside.
The Knicks' lack of internal response is also a big problem. It is not enough to rely on two guards. Charlie Ward is also one of the league's worst starting point guards. Sometimes the outside ran out of space, and Rice and Bowen could not receive the pass.
The Raptors played offense on the offensive end, Miller responded in the middle, two three-point points opened to attract defense, and O'Neal and Carter played singles by their personal abilities. Substitute Boykins played a pick-and-roll offense, the center was cut open, and the other three also opened up for opportunities.
The Raptors can always guarantee a local advantage, killing their opponents at a slow pace. The Knicks only scored more than 90 in one game and lost 93 to 105 at home.
The Pistons eliminated the Heat 3-0 and advanced easily. Van Gundy defeated Pat Riley with a tough defense. The Heat without Mo Ning is another team, and the blood is not there.
The 76ers and the Bulls fought in 5 games, and it was difficult to advance to the second round 3-2. The opponent Bucks also eliminated the Hornets 3-2.
At this time, the Raptors played a game in the second round.
The Raptors beat the Pistons 106 to 87 at home and scored a good start.
O'Neal became the team's first scoring point, scoring 30 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, blasting Joe Smith one-on-one.
The configuration of the two teams is similar. Houston and Reed are both off-ball attackers. Starkhouse and Carter are all-stars who can shoot. The advantage of the Raptors lies in the inside.
Mickey Moore, Joe Smith, and Jerome Williams can all pull out shots, but the post defense is not good. O'Neal turned around for a jumper, turned around for a throw, and then made a mid-range shot and an empty cut after pick-and-roll.
Veteran Oakley can't deal with O'Neal. His athletic ability is not as good as before, and he is still short. He can only use small movements to disturb O'Neal's offensive rhythm. Once the opponent pulls out to cover, facing the defender breakthrough, Oakley is more difficult to keep up with the speed.
Not only O'Neal and substitute Mark Jackson can also rely on physical advantage to attack in the low position. The pistons are almost all thinner and not very tall.
The only inside Mickey Moore with a height of more than 210cm and a weight of only 102 kg, which can hold Jackson?
The Pistons' inner line relies on evacuation ability and maneuverability, and they can often play exciting games, but they often deflate against teams with heavy inside lines.
In the second game, O'Neal scored 36 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, still no solution.
The second-best performer was substitute Haplin, who scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists and defended Starkhouse. Both are strong swingers, and Stackhouse is afraid of such a defender who is not afraid of confrontation.
Everything went very smoothly. Yang Rui saw the Pistons' weakness very clearly, and he had already begun to consider his next opponent. However, in the third war, something bad happened.
O'Neal also played steadily like the previous two games, scoring 20 points in three quarters. At the end of 9 minutes and 51 seconds, he turned to the face frame after receiving the ball on the right side, ready to take off and push Oakley to throw.
As a result, Oakley could not jump off the disturbance, as if he had lost his center of gravity, and slammed O'Neal sideways. The old ball ruff looked unsuccessful and wanted to use other means to defend.
This action looks amateurish. O'Neal was knocked to the ground and the fall was not serious. The referee did not give Oakley a foul. However, O'Neal got up not so neatly and had a problem with his knee.
The team doctor hurried to the court to deal with it. After the inspection, O'Neal could not continue to fight and was helped by teammate Jerome.
The Raptors maintained their advantage to the end, winning 103-96 and leading 3-0.
After the game, O'Neal did MRI, not only sprained his right knee, but also strained the groin, and had to rest for two to four weeks.
Yang Rui suddenly felt troubled. O'Neal was the core of the Raptors' offensive and defensive line. He changed the pick-and-roll fast enough, and could also send out a beautiful big hat. When he was out of the game, he had to rely on Jumeirah Jones or Haaplin as a power forward, not at all.
The Raptors are not short of big men, and it's lack of maneuverability for Mark Jackson to play at No. 4 to form twin towers. Veteran Willis is also very slow and has no CIC. Jerome James Yang Rui doesn't think about it, he can only play center.
At the press conference, Yang Rui said depressively: "Jermain is very important. Without the core of the inside, we can only rearrange the offensive and defensive system. The foul by Charles Oakley made me very angry, and he did not have it after the game. I apologize, I think he is intentional, no one will defend in that way, he should not serve the old, not to hurt the opponent.
The reporter asked: "Do you think this will affect the Raptors' defense?"
"Of course, the impact is great. We have two generals absent from the playoffs. If there is no such foul on the court, I think the nba will be much better. Here I just want to say to Oakley, you should retire, nba. You don’t need your example!"
Although working together, Yang Rui and Oakley tore their faces apart, and he wished to kill the old ball ruff with a single shot.
Yang Rui knows exactly what kind of Oakley is. He has played for the Knicks for more than 10 years. The team has not retired from his jersey. The Knicks owner James Dolan is also annoying him.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, in early 2017, Oakley, who retired for a long time, also went to the Madison Square Garden to make trouble. He abused his boss Dolan while watching the ball at home and beat the stadium security, causing a very bad impact. Since then, the Knicks have announced that Oakley will be given a life-long "forbidden to enter Madison to watch" penalty.
David Stern was very angry when he got the news and put the Pistons on the league blacklist again.
Not only is O'Neal injured, but Iverson is also injured, not in his best form, and the 76ers trailed the Bucks 1-2.
The league hopes to see the 76ers and the Raptors meet in the Eastern Conference finals, and now there is one star missing, which will definitely make the series less exciting.
The West Lakers also have casualties. Isaiah Leder, who had high hopes, missed the playoffs due to injuries~EbookFREE.me~The Lakers' bench strength at the 2nd and 3rd positions has declined. But the Lakers are in good condition, only one role player is missing.
Spurs starting shooting guard Derek Anderson is reimbursed and lacks the number one outside offensive point, which means that the Spurs must be out.
The slogan of nba is "the place where miracles happen", not "the place where NMR occurs". The last thing Stern wanted to see was a serious injury in the playoffs.
The next day, Stern talked about the Raptors in an interview and mentioned "luck". He thought that some injuries were related to luck. When O'Neal and Billups fell, they didn't look like they would be seriously injured. Grant Hill is also an example. He looks like a normal sprain but is reimbursed for the season.
NBA is not a simple competition, or a survival game of the stadium version, and it is "healthy" than anyone else. A team that guarantees health is more likely to win a championship.
