Chapter 177: [Void, real, half-true]

"He is very rigid and lacks flexibility in tactics. Once the game is expected, he will be at a loss.???" John Starks commented on Van Gundy in an interview. The two spent 8 together in the Knicks. Season, know the roots.
　　 Van Gundy is indeed such a person. He has very poor on-the-spot resilience. He replaced Ben Wallace only 6 minutes later and replaced Houston with an offensive attack. Big Ben played soy sauce for a few minutes on the court, reducing the pressure on the Raptors' defense.
　　 Bowen was responsible for defending Carter, Sprewell came to the point guard, Johnson and Ewing continued to play.
The Knicks have a lot of attacking power, and there are problems with pick-and-roll prevention. Ewing does not go out and catches the ball outside the Raptors. It prevents Carter and McGrady from going out of position to break through, or attracts Ewing to pass to Willie. Sri Lanka.
Willis is very selfless. Yang Rui arranged him to be a blue collar. He honestly defended and arranged for him to attack. He really scored. Last season, he averaged 16 points in 31 minutes per game on the Rockets. His shooting percentage is not yet 51%. low.
　　 Half-time Raptors lead 5o than 35.
　　 In the second half, Van Gundy is now experiencing restlessness due to his lack of physical strength.
　　The Raptors began to wrap the outside star, cut Wallace in the penalty area, and sent him to the free throw. Big Ben made 1 of 6 shots and undercover again.
　　Yang Rui's previous life, Big Ben's free throws were the worst in the league, no season averaged a 5o% shooting rate, and the most ridiculous one in the playoffs was 27.3%. Even last season, the big end urinal only allowed one game, and the overall shooting percentage in the playoffs was 44.6%.
　　Fan Gandy entered the "struggle" mode, hurriedly replaced the big book, arranged an alternative small ball tactics.
　　 He let Oakley and Johnson inside the team, Oakley pulled out to cover, to create space for the outside, let Sprewell go to the low to go heads-up.
　　 "Mad Man" has the first step of terror, face attack, it is difficult for the inside to keep up with him after pick and roll, this play is very similar to the two outside cores of the Raptors. Yang Rui let Christie go to the defense, Sprewell went back to the low show and backed up. He turned around the penalty area to shoot or hit the layup, scoring 12 points in a single quarter.
　　The Raptors' offense was not bad. O'Neal and Carter cut off after a midfield pick-and-roll and went to the basket near the basket to take advantage of their height advantage to play Johnson and score continuously.
　　 Opposition big muscular men inside, little O'Neal is often soft, but Johnson, O'Neal's specialty are all swayed out, he has a long arm and a soft shooting touch, and people under 2o5cm can't block him.
In the last quarter, the Knicks couldn't stand it.
After the two point guards Ward and Childs entered the playoffs, their shooting percentages were 35.6% and 36.4%, respectively. Today, the Raptors are going inside and handed over to Willis and O'Neal to attack the basket. The two defenders have little effect on the defensive end.
　　 So, Van Gundy reduced their playing time, believing that "the bench will not work". Stephen Jackson's playing time is also shorter, Van Gundy reused the defense desperately, excellent Bowen single defense.
　　 In the last 5 minutes, the team was behind, the four stars were already tired, Bowen played soy sauce on the offensive end, and the Knicks' offensive efficiency dropped significantly.
　　Ewing only scored two points on 1 of 6 shots in the last quarter. There were no free throws. The shooting feel was not good, and the misalignment showed no advantage. Van Gundy didn't let him rest, even if he changed Johnson, and sent Oakley.
　　 Johnson was even worse. He played 6 minutes in the last quarter, made two turnovers, and missed two shots. The only data was a backcourt rebound.
　　 Many people know that Johnson is strong, but his strength is strong in the upper limbs. When facing Carter, he has little advantage when breaking through and can only swing when fighting.
　　 The Knicks had no one to attack from low post, the feeling was gone, and the playoff experience was useless.
　 　 Raptors rely on McGrady, Willis, O'Neal to score a big difference, and finally won 27 points 1o4 to 77, the total score was tied 3 to 3.
　　The Knicks scored in double figures, not shooting high, Houston scored 17 points and 2 assists.
On the side of the Raptors, inside veteran Willis exploded again, scoring a double-double of 18 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks. O'Neal also had 18 points and 6 rebounds.
　　 Outside McGrady 2o points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, Carter and Billups scored 13 points and 15 points respectively.
　　 Not only did the Raptors win, the players also gave confidence, and the Knicks were suppressed throughout the game.
　　Back to the locker room, Yang Rui said to the players who were going to attend the press conference: "We will win this time and we will definitely win in the end. In an interview, we said that we must win the tie-break. We must have this kind of confidence."
　　 By this time, there was no need to decompress anymore. No one would be willing to lose in the tiebreaker. It doesn’t matter what you say, it is self-deception.
　　Since there is no future, what are you afraid of saying a few crazy words?
　　Doing so can also improve the morale of the Raptors, because Van Gundy will not talk wildly, if one thing is not sure, Van Gundy will not say, this is the difference between him and Yang Rui.
　　 At the press conference, the two teams showed two extremes. No one in the Knicks said anything about winning, and he seemed to have no confidence.
　　 Van Gundy just found the reason for the defeat, saying that the team lost the defense.
　　 The reporter asked: "Jerry Yang said that he found the Knicks' weaknesses. This game really won. Will you adjust the lineup in the next game?"
　　 "Confidentiality, the players are just in a bad state, they will find it back in the end." Van Gundy replied.
　　 In fact, he has exposed his guilty conscience, and hopes that the player's condition will be restored ~EbookFREE.me~ Rather than changing the way of playing, it is not to reuse the bench to fight against the Raptors, and reasonably allocate the veteran's playing time. The physically strong Atkins and Jackson are destined to be abandoned.
In an interview, Yang Rui said with ease: "We will definitely win in the end, because I said before, I found the Knicks' weaknesses, and they have a very different attack power from the bench. As long as the bench is sent, we will have a way to do that. Time scores. And the Raptors play more people, everyone can play the role."
　　 The reporter asked: "What do you think is the key to winning the Raptors?"
"Free throws, probably this? Anyway, as long as Ben Wallace plays, I will arrange for someone to cut him. Other people want to break through to the layup. I will also tell the players to foul fouls, so that they will reduce their free throws. Offensive efficiency."
　　Yang Rui continued to put out "smoke bombs" and said what was said was half-truth.
　　 It's true to cut Ben Wallace, because this guy's free throws are too bad, don't cut white or cut. It is false to say that letting others make free throws reduces the offensive efficiency. This is to make the Knicks players less determined when they attack the basket.
The Raptors have an offensive lineup, poor defensive zone, good at defending breakthroughs and outside shots. If Ewing, Johnson, Oakley keep hitting the rim, the Raptors will be uncomfortable, even if the Knicks playoff overall free throw percentage Only 71%.
　　He reiterated that last time, Van Gundy will be more hesitant when using the substitute, and the performance of the substitutes will be more harsh. The veteran has only one day to rest, and his physical strength cannot be recovered.
　　 In the next game, Yang Rui firmly believes that the Raptors will win. 8
