Chapter 242: [The devil at home, then recommend yourself]

A team's tactics need not be varied, only need to be suitable for core players, and then continue to be proficient in cooperation. It is this kind of team that has won the championship successfully.
Simple tactics can be difficult to play, because people are not machines, it is impossible to always dedicate one's mind to running tactics. Players will make small mistakes, will be confused, will have poor shooting choices, and their strength is not stable.
On March 5, the Canadian Derby battled the Raptors against the underdog Grizzlies, and the players went crazy.
Carter shot two non-sticks in the first quarter. McGrady and Billups all missed the outside shot of the basket.
Even so, with the play of O'Neal and Miller, the Raptors also won 90-87.
Miller's performance was the most eye-catching, with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, the third triple-double of the season. His defense is also good, not afraid of confrontation, guarding the penalty area.
Miller, averaging 13.4 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists, is already the league's hot super center.
In the offensive system, Miller is the axis, and his teammates have the ability to break through and attack the basket better than the King, so it is easier to send assists. He averaged 5.3 assists per game, the highest of any player in the season, and Garnett had only five.
When Miller didn't show his power, the Raptors manager Glenn Gruward was fortunate to have left Yang Rui to leave him, otherwise he would lose money.
On March 6, the Raptors challenged the Blazers back-to-back, a spotlight.
The Trail Blazers ranked second in the West, 46 wins and 12 losses behind the Lakers one game, is a super team with a balanced offense and defense. They have been trying to catch up with the Lakers. Because according to the rules of the division, as long as the record is behind the Lakers, the Blazers will be ranked after the other division champion Jazz, in the first round to fight for the sixth place in the playoffs, and play the jazz in the second round.
Unfortunately, last week the Trail Blazers bench center Marcus Camby missed a knee sprain and will not return next month. Center is the slowest Sabonis in the league, with a slight decline in strength.
Coach Dunleavy did not want Camby, a quality big man, to be deserted. He gradually increased his playing time and played more than 20 minutes. Camby was very dissatisfied and was injured after only a dozen games.
Strong teams have gimmicks. The league started publicity three days in advance, and the game was broadcast live in the United States.
The person who wants to beat the Raptors the most is point guard Damon Stardamer. The better Carter played, the more uncomfortable he was, as if it should belong to his glory.
If you make a wrong choice, you will die.
It’s not just Stadammeer, it’s also appropriate for Pippen. Pippen, who left the Bulls, is no longer a superstar, just an ordinary forward. In the Blazers, he is recognized as a high-paying low-energy.
The thin dead camel is bigger than the horse, and Pippen's defensive skills are still there, which is a headache for Yang Rui. If Dunleavy cuts Sabonis' playing time and faces Rashid Wallace and Pippen's defense, Carter will have a hard time playing gorgeous numbers.
In the locker room, Yang Rui is planning to announce tactics to give Miller and O'Neal the shot power. Billups took the initiative to chat with him, and then recommended himself.
"Jerry, I hope you can give me a chance to show this time and let me attack."
"Are you confident to beat Stardamer?"
"One-on-one, I have the confidence to blast all Blazers." Billups said rightly.
Selflessness does not mean that there is no ambition. Billups always wanted to prove that he deserved the status of "exploration", but only too many attack points in the team, he was willing to be a role player. If Billups is just a normal rookie, he will not be jealous of Carter and McGrady's possession. But he was the one with the Raptors' biggest card in the draft.
In other teams, it is difficult for players to make requests directly to the head coach, but the Raptors are a free place where they can openly express their ideas.
Billups looked forward to Yang Rui and waited for an answer.
Yang Rui thought for a while and smiled: "Well, you have unlimited shots this time. I only have one request. When teammates run out of good positions, you have to pass the ball."
"I won't mess up." Billups assured immediately.
"Changxi, I have always believed that you will become an All-Star in the future and make good use of your advantages." Yang Rui patted him on the back. Ever since Di Brown was traded to the Jazz, Billups rarely goes to nightclubs, he is getting stronger.
Billups nodded solemnly, no thanks, no smile, he was going to speak with action on the court. Winning the ball is the best reward for trusting the coach.
Portland Rose Garden is the famous home of the Devil. Raptors players were booed by home fans when they played, even Carter.
The most obvious feature of the Trail Blazers at home is that even if the visiting team leads by 20 points, the home team can grab a rebound or a block to attract a tsunami-like voice, which is the same as the Trail Blazers lead by 20 points.
In addition, every time the referee played a foul on the home team, the Blazers fans retorted loudly: "What? Obviously the opponent fouled!"
The fans cheered too loudly, and once scared a little fan to cry. In these two seasons, the Trail Blazers have a good record, and the fans have become more united.
Yang Rui met once last season and was very impressed, it made people not want to come back for the second time.
On this occasion, reuse of Billups may have unexpected gains. Yang Rui believes that Billups can withstand the pressure. In his impression, Billups' future label is the big heart!
Yang Rui persuaded Carter to give up the ball, because Pippen will definitely defend him today. He can’t deliberately attack the opponent’s strongest outside defense, right?
After the warm-up, players from both sides played.
Five Raptors: Billups, Christie, Carter, Detrev, Miller.
Five Trail Blazers: Stardamer, Steve Smith, Pippen, Rashid Wallace, Sabonis.
Mike Brin said: "The Blazers are averaging double figures per game, the offense is excellent, and they can compete with the Raptors. Jerry Yang has a new trick, Jermaine O'Neal has not. He is not injured. It is definitely a tactic. Adjustment."
Frazer looked forward to saying, "Maybe I will see something different today."
Rashid jumped the ball to win and the Blazers attacked first.
Stadameier took the ball to the right and passed it to Rashid who was in a position of back. Sabonis pulled to the high position to make room.
Rashid singled Detrev~EbookFREE.me~ took advantage of his height to turn a straight-arm jumper and missed the rim under interference. Carter grabbed a rebound.
Veteran Detrev averaged only 4.6 points, 3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game this season. He can still help the team with experience. His three-point shooting is as high as 40.6%.
Billups took the ball to the frontcourt, played a pick-and-roll with Miller Midway, moved a step, made a three-point jumper on the right, he shot very resolutely, Sabonis did not change the defense in place, and Stadamer, who was on the side. Not covered, but the ball popped out of the basket.
Pippen grabbed a rebound and stabilized. The Trail Blazers battled, Sabonis received the high-level organization and saw the opportunity to pass directly to the empty cut Pippen. The latter stepped into the basket and forced a layup under the interference of Carter. Not entering, Miller grabbed a rebound in the backcourt and the Raptors fast break.
Carter drove the ball through the half, attracting Pippen's defense and passing it to Billups who reached for the ball near the free throw line.
Billups leaned on Stadamer, dribbled up the ball after catching the ball, jumped to the basket, his feet jumped, and pressed his opponent's right hand into cricket. 2 to 0.
He knew what he should do. He shot three points from the outside and hit Stadammeer with his body.
