Chapter 244 [It is gold that will shine sooner or later! 】
The Blazers attacked, Sabonis picked and rolled in the middle, and Stoudamire broke through with the ball.Relying on the speed to shake Detrev's position, he made a pull-up jumper. 2 to 2.
Without O'Neal Jr., the Raptors will be worse off against pick-and-rolls.Yang Rui arranged this in order to let Billups get more balls, O'Neal Jr. and McGrady with substitutes in the second quarter, and their attacking power will be stronger.
Against a strong team, "Tian Ji's horse racing" is a good strategy. The substitute is led by two stars, or it is a dual-core inside and outside. The opponent's substitute will face a big test.
Billups took the ball to the frontcourt, waited for his teammates to pull away, played a pick-and-roll with Miller, took a big step laterally, and made a 70-degree pull-up jumper on the right.
Sabonis' speed is too slow, so the guards usually chase after him. Stoudamire's speed can catch up, but he is only 178cm tall and does a very poor job of interfering with shots.
Billups knew this well, jumped high, took a resolute shot against the person, found the rhythm, the ball drew a perfect arc, and entered the net hollow. 5 to 2.
Yang Rui took the lead in applauding, and Billups took on the offensive task. It seemed that the shot selection was not good. In fact, he only had to face the defense of "Momong Squirrel", and he was not disturbed much.
The Blazers attacked, and Rasheed singled Detrev, turned and scored a jumper. 5 to 4.
Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, played the pick-and-roll, and the switch became Rasheed, much faster.Billups dribbled the ball laterally to find his teammates and gave it to Detrev on the right.
Detrev has always been a small forward when he was young, and he was a cameo in the interior. He was good at running and receiving the ball.
Sabonis also struggled after switching to Detrev. He only stretched his hand and couldn't jump up.Detrev has 206CM, has a high shot point, ignores interference, and scores! 8 to 4.
Brin shouted: "Three points! BANG! Second one today, an assist from Billups."
Frazier said: "It seems that the Raptors are still the same as the last time the two teams met, focusing on Sabonis. The veteran is moving too slowly."
Sabonis was effective on the offensive end. After the pick-and-roll, he received a pass from Pippen, and faced Billups for a layup three steps slower. After Miller defended, the Raptors had poor rim protection. 8 to 6.
In the Raptors positional battle, Billups scored the ball to Detrev, who singled out Sabonis and missed a pull-up jumper. Rashid scored a rebound.
The Trail Blazers had a lot of offense tricks. Pippen organized a striker in the middle and scored the ball to Smith, who was on the side of the screen. The latter attracted Detrev to switch defenses and pass. 8 to 8.
After playing a few more rounds, the Blazers' defensive weaknesses were always irreparable. Sabonis couldn't dislocate the defender in positional warfare and counterattacks.
To win the championship, this season is the last chance for the Blazers. Sabonis has both knees half-crippled. He is playing with perseverance and experience, and his state is getting worse and worse.
Dunleavy made a substitution, Sabonis played only 4 minutes before resting, and replaced Brian Grant to enhance his mobility.
After the substitution, the Blazers only had Stoudamire as a weak point on the defensive end, and Billups started to single with the ball and stopped looking for cover.He hit a pull-up three-pointer, made a mid-range shot, made a foul by forcing a break through his body, and made two free throws.
When the Trail Blazers came to help, Billups would score the ball and play very reasonably.
比卢普斯打满首节，8投5中，三分球4中2，罚球2中2，得到14分3助攻，猛龙28比24领先。
In the second quarter, Sabonis returned to the court with a substitute.Yang Rui sent Cato to deal with Sabonis storming the basket. Although the veteran was poor in physical fitness, he couldn't jump up. After all, he had a height of 221cm and a weight of 127kg.
The other four Raptors are Curry, Hornacek, McGrady, and O'Neal Jr.
The other four Blazers are Grant, Pippen, Wells, and Greg Anthony.
The Blazers' defense line is very solid, Sabonis is the meat shield, the perimeter rotates quickly, and Pippen focuses on Tracy McGrady.
Cato also defended the penalty area of the Raptors when he played.
The rest of the Raptors shrunk to the vicinity of the penalty area, strictly preventing breakthroughs, forcing the opponent to shoot from the mid-to-long range, and achieved good results.
The hit rate of both sides dropped, the point difference did not widen, and the main force was replaced in the second half, and the scoring efficiency was not high.
Brin smiled and said: "Both sides are balanced on offense and defense. If the Raptors defend seriously, they are no worse than any team."
Frazier said: "Camby is injured, the Blazers' lineup is slightly less deep than the Raptors, and it is not easy to win at home."
Brin nodded: "The cheering of the Blazers fans has been non-stop, which has boosted the morale of the home team. The Blazers are a championship contending team, and they definitely don't want to be swept by the Raptors in the regular season. With their hard work, this game should be worth it. "
In this quarter, Billups played 5 minutes, only had 2 points and 1 assist, and did not grab the ball with McGrady and Carter.
In the second half, the Blazers put Sabonis and Stoudamire on the court at the same time, and Billups began to show his power again, scoring 16 points in a single quarter, hitting 4 three-pointers, and 4 assists.
Carter, McGrady, and O'Neal opened to attract defense, and the Blazers couldn't double-team Billups. He got a good one-on-one chance, leading the team to 34-18 in a single quarter, and the point difference widened to 17 points.
In the final quarter, Billups rested for a few minutes and continued to play. He made two breakthroughs in the counterattack and made 4 free throws. He also assisted Carter to make a three-pointer and O'Neal Jr. alley-oop dunks.
In the last 2 minutes, the Raptors led by 18 points, and the overall situation was set.
When Billups was substituted, he clapped hands with Yang Rui.He played 35 minutes, 19 of 11 shots, 11 of 6 three-pointers, 8 of 8 free throws, 36 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.
The Blazers' three point guards are all small, and while they can score, they can't guard Billups.
Stoudamire was hurt [-] points in his heart today.When he was in the Raptors, McGrady was just an underachiever. Now, let alone compared to McGrady and Carter, he can't even deal with the role players of the Raptors.
McGrady scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. He performed well, and was still stole the limelight by Billups.
Both sides switched sides, and the Blazers' Bunch Wells scored 9 points in a row, but fell behind too much, and it was useless for the loyal home fans to hoarse their voices. The Raptors won 107-96.
Brin sighed: "As long as he has the ball, Billups is also very strong. He played very solidly in this game. The Raptors' lineup is too perfect."
Many fans think Billups is very tough after seeing his shooting percentage. In fact, he averaged less than ten shots per game in two consecutive seasons with the Raptors, and 8.8 this season is less than his rookie season.
Such a number of shots, even if the hit rate is not high, will not damage the team system. He is very efficient with three points as the main scoring method.In Yang Rui's previous life, Billups averaged 13.2 shots per game in a single season. In the 09-10 season with the Nuggets, he averaged 19.5 points and 5.6 assists per game.
If you're looking for someone with a similar style, it's Mike Conley of the Grizzlies, a low-key star who signed a mega-deal in '16.Billups was stronger than Conley at his peak.
Among the perimeter stars, he is one of the best team players, and gold will shine sooner or later.
