Chapter 156 [Breaking the Heat, he is a star]
After all, Riley couldn't replace Hardaway, and emphasized the rotation position, leaving Mourning alone to defend the inside.
Yang Rui didn't make any substitutions, insisted on letting McGrady hold the ball in the middle, and decided whether to shoot or pass.
The current McGrady's ability to break double teams is definitely not comparable to the peak period, but let him rely on the body to singled out, which is not much worse than the peak period, all relying on speed to break through, and relying on bouncing and pulling.
McGrady got a rare opportunity to perform. He chose to attack by himself in most of the rounds. In the team, he and Carter often singled out.
Against people shorter than him, he pulled up shots and defended with Mashburn. He changed to break through again, and the first step was extremely fast.
Regardless of the positional battle or the quick counterattack, McGrady performed well, scoring 18 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in the first quarter.
Among them, at 3 minutes and 11 seconds, O'Neal Jr. missed a jumper, and McGrady made an empty cut with one hand to make up the dunk, which attracted applause from the audience.
Carter's edge was completely covered up. He only scored 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. After 6 minutes of playing, he was replaced and rested. It was too wasteful to let Carter play without the ball.
The Raptors led 34-23.
In the second quarter, Yang Rui played a new trick, sending Billups and Di Brown's double backs, small forward Carter, and inside John Thomas and Cato.
Heat on Terry - Burt, Rex - Waters, Mashburn, Witherspoon, Dunn - Coswell.
Carter came back to bring a substitute. Like McGrady in the first quarter, he attacked with the ball in the middle. The guard just dribbled the ball through half court, and then ran for three-pointers on both sides. The two inside lines were pulled to the sides without the ball to cover, making space for Carter.
If it is Kobe, [-]% will choose to attack Mashburn to prove his strength, but Carter's choice is to pass the ball mainly, help his teammates create opportunities, and the Heat's defense line keeps appearing empty.
Even if the guard doesn't take the ball directly, he can also dislocate and break to the basket, especially on the left side where Cato and Billups are, and the Heat can't prevent it.
Billups is equally selfless. He will open up the space, attract Dunn to defend, and lob the ball inside. Cato has no pressure to single down the defender in the low post. 213CM, 109kg Doon is excellent in defending the inside line, and it is difficult to defend Billups.
The point difference continued to widen, Riley replaced PJ Brown early to strengthen his defense, and the offense was still bad.
Mashburn was in poor form today, most of whom singled out Carter for iron, and Witherspoon was also killed by Thomas.
With a height of 198CM, "Big Spoon" Witherspoon is a very strong dunker when he first entered the league. He has participated in the dunk contest, modeled on Barkley, and is good at playing power forward. In the second season of his career, he scored 18.4 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
At that time, many people were optimistic about him, but unfortunately this man did not want to make progress. His weight soared to 120 kg, and the speed of change was slow. After joining the Heat, he had become a substitute, with high salary and low energy, averaging 8 points and 5 rebounds per game.
If the opponent's interior confrontation is poor, Witherspoon can play some role. It happens that Thomas is similar in size to him, with a height of 203cm and a weight of 120kg.So the Raptors' home fans are blessed, everyone can watch the outside line play basketball while watching the inside line sumo.
The difference widened to 20 points before the Heat replaced Mourning and Hardaway.
Commentator Clark said: "The Raptors have a sharp offense after the change. As long as they don't make a big mistake in the second half, they will definitely win this game."
David said: "Jerry Young has a high voice for the best coach. As long as he maintains his winning rate, he is very likely to set a historical record, become the youngest NBA coach of the best award winner, and improve the record for more than ten years. "
Clark laughed: "He's a miracle worker, under 25 years old, a lot of players haven't reached their peak yet."
David sighed: "The most legendary thing is that he has no background. He grew up in an orphanage and started from scratch. Compared with his background, he is not even as good as many players who came out of slums. At least those players have family since childhood."
At 6 minutes, McGrady replaced Di Bron and continued to undertake the main attacking task. Yang Rui let him play freely and was in good shape.
At this time, Carter showed his selfless qualities, standing outside to attract defense, willing to be a green leaf.
Yang Rui loves and hates Carter's character.
As far as the team is concerned, there is no private benefit, but as the core of the team, it is impossible to compare with Jordan. This is an important reason why Carter did not have a high historical status in Yang Rui's previous life.
Carter's physical condition is top-notch, bounce, strength, waist and abdomen, flexibility and coordination, nothing can be solved, even the feel of the ball with the ball, the feel of the shot is perfect.
However, among the four shooting guards, McGrady, Kobe, and Iverson all have scoring titles, but Carter does not.He hasn't won any big personal honors, what's missing is the killer instinct, the desire to win the game.
He can make unbridled breakthroughs and three-pointers, but he always disappears suddenly when he feels hot, passing the ball to his teammates and helping them play; he has all the conditions to become a top defender, but he doesn't have Kobe's kind of pinch opponents. Die hard.
As a star who averaged 10+ points per game in 20 seasons in his career, Carter averaged only 22 shots per game in a single season, far behind other stars.Selflessness is his shackle.
In the second half, the Heat switched to Mashburn to defend McGrady, and McGrady's hit rate dropped. Carter took over the firing right and singled out Dan Marley and Waters to score, leaving the Heat defense at a loss.
The Raptors led 88-65 in the third quarter, and the Heat could not fill the hole dug in the first half.
In the distal quarter, Yang Rui sent Di Brown, Christie, McGrady, insider Bowen and Cato, and McGrady scored two three-pointers, turning the game into garbage time.
112 to 88, the Raptors won at home.
麦迪22投13中，三分球9中4，罚球8中4，得到34分6篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽，卡特、比卢普斯、小奥尼尔、迪布朗也得分上双。
热火内线莫宁20分13篮板4助攻4盖帽，布朗16分10篮板2抢断，表现都很出色，无奈外线球员完全迷失。
哈达威受到犯规困扰只打了30分钟，10投3中，三分球3中0，没有罚球，得到6分3篮板5助攻。
马什本17投5中，得到10分5篮板2助攻。
Dan Marley hit 3 three-pointers and had only 11 points and 5 rebounds.
At the press conference, Yang Rui talked about the game. "This game is a brand new attempt. The results proved that the analysis of many experts before the game was wrong. The Heat have an advantage in the interior and the Heat's defense is better, which does not mean that they will definitely win the game, and the offense can be strong."
The reporter asked: "Will you let McGrady play point guard in the future?"
"Depending on the situation, he has the strength of an All-Star and can play in multiple positions, but winning is the key, and every player must appear in the position the team needs. When McGrady is needed to play point guard, I will arrange it like this. ."
The reporter asked: "Do you think it is possible for the Raptors to win the Eastern Conference No. [-] in the regular season?"
"Of course it is possible, we are at the top of the list now." Yang Rui smiled: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that we are not afraid of any team now."
