Chapter 149 [Kill back to the top]
On the day off, the Raptors challenged the Rockets away, and lost the game 104-113, which ended their winning streak.
Pippen did not join, the Rockets were weaker than Yang Rui's previous life, but they played a wonderful game.The biggest contributor to the win was not veteran Barkley and Olajuwon, but two rookie teenagers.
Michael Dixon, the 14th overall pick in the first round, and Cardino Mobley, the 41st overall pick in the second round, became the team's starters as soon as they joined the Rockets and performed well.
Mobley suffered a loss in the 193CM confrontation. Christie and McGrady did not feel very good in this game. He did not become a defensive loophole.
Dixon didn't guard Carter, and he performed well on the offensive end.
The two rookies looked for cover on the perimeter to find opportunities, and immediately shot or dislocated the pass in response to the pass. The number of paths was similar to that of the Raptors.
The Raptors could not prevent the impact of Olajuwon and Barkley one-on-one, and could only shrink the defense line to double-team, and it was inevitable that there would be gaps in the periphery.Dixon and Mobley were both 9-for-7 from [-]-point range, which was astonishingly efficient.
The Raptors' offense is not weak. Carter scored 32 points and 6 assists. Six people in the team scored in double figures, but they lost on three-pointers.Role players are scary when they're jerking, like superstars.
However, the rocket is not far from disintegration.Both stars are getting old, and they both realize that the Rockets can't win the championship, and even the first round of the playoffs is difficult to pass.
Olajuwon is okay to say, after all, he has two crowns in hand, and there is no shortage of personal honors. Barkley does not have a ring yet, so he has to think about himself at the end of his career.
The Raptors' record has improved, and Yang Rui has strengthened his plan to rest and appropriately reduce the playing time of veterans.
Detrev and Willis are still in excellent form, but the playoffs are their stage. The most important thing for them in the regular season is to stay healthy, be the boss in the locker room, and help newcomers.
If the rookie doesn't practice enough, can't show confidence, and can't show his strength in the playoffs, the Raptors will be out of luck.
After Yang Rui analyzed the schedule, he controlled each player to play no more than 30 minutes. Only Carter played for a long time, averaging 35 minutes per game.
The only person on the team who has not been rested is also Carter. This is a test for him, and it is something that the core of the team must do.It's not a good thing for a young player to rotate as soon as he enters the league.
The core must not only have excellent technology, but also have a brave heart. Only the superstar can lead the team to win in the face of adversity.As long as Carter can withstand the pressure, after this season's tempering, he will definitely become stronger next season.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Carter made rapid progress. In the second season, he was already a superstar averaging 25.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Now that he has these more powerful teammates to attract defense, it is easier for him to get data.
On March 3, the Raptors defeated the Spurs 27-103 in back-to-back games.
The Spurs have a good record of 18 wins and 9 losses, mainly relying on the inside twin towers to lead the team, and the offense and defense are balanced.
The biggest highlight of this game is that Duncan only scored 7 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks against O'Neal Jr. and Cato, making 8 of 3 shots and 2 of 1 free throws.
Duncan didn't make many shots, but the two rookies of the Raptors interfered with his shooting obviously. Duncan couldn't get to the basket and score easily from start to finish.
Therefore, more people are optimistic that the Blazers will win the championship. The two insiders they sent are marginal players, but they are both prosperous in the Raptors, and the team's inside players are stronger.
The Blazers have stars inside and out this year, and even if Camby is injured, they still guarantee the winning rate. They are currently ranked first in the league with 22 wins and 5 losses.It's a pity that the Blazers' player data is average, and even with the best record, no one can win the MVP.
On the 28th, the Raptors played against the bad team the Bulls again at home. Yang Rui changed his style of play and focused on practicing tactics.
The Raptors didn't have a fast break throughout the game. O'Neal Jr. gave Billups no-ball cover from the side to help him catch the ball and shoot. Christie attracted the defense in the bottom corner.Carter plays pick-and-roll with Miller in the middle. He can hold the ball, pass to the side, or break through and return to Miller in the middle.
Billups and Miller did not shoot directly after receiving the ball. They could also control the ball for secondary organization and patiently look for opportunities.
In the second quarter, the play was similar. The person holding the ball in the middle became McGrady, the person holding the pick and roll was Detrev, the person running the side was Di Brown, Willis was covering, and Ryan Bowen was waiting for the opportunity in the bottom corner.
Without double-teaming, after the pick-and-roll, McGrady and Carter will use their physical advantages to rush to the basket. The opponent's formation shrinks and double-teams, and the bottom corner is easy to get opportunities.
In this game, Bowen played 34 minutes, 9 of 5 shots, 4 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points and 5 rebounds, setting a career high.
For Bai Bowen, Yang Rui spent a lot of time on training.
He said to Bowen at the start of the season: "Ryan, if you're good at corner 20-pointers, as long as you dare to shoot from this position, you're a good role player. If you don't dare to shoot, you're just a Blue-collar workers who don’t have data will not play more than [-] minutes, and they will be of limited help to the team. I hope you don’t be a coward and take bold shots on offense.”
Bowen is a very honest and obedient player. He does whatever the coach asks him to do. He arrives at the arena at 8 o'clock during training. This person will not be 5 minutes early or 5 minutes late, especially on time.
Since joining the Raptors, Bowen has been working hard on three-pointers from the right corner. When he is open, he dares to shoot, not for anything else, just because the coach said that even if he has no confidence to make a goal, he has to make a goal. The basket is thrown.
Although his shooting percentage is only 33.3%, he doesn't shoot much, which is much better than that of Bowen, who was obviously capable of shooting but didn't shoot in the previous life, and finally became a wonderful blue-collar.
In this game, Bowen was in a great state. Not only did he make two three-pointers, but he also made a mid-range shot. He made two layups from the baseline, and one of them also pulled the lever to avoid the defense.
The environment creates people. After watching his teammates fly around in the team all day, Bowen learned two tricks and dared to perform.
The Raptors defeated the Bulls 97-78, and the defense was not bad after reducing the tempo. The players had a deeper understanding of tactical movements.
In the away game against the Cavaliers, the Raptors continued to practice tactics on the ground and scored a high score of 121 to 101.
Lithuanian center Ilgauskas was out for the season due to an ankle injury. "Rain Man" Kemp returned to the NBA after a 9-month vacation, becoming a fat man, slow, and defensive black hole.
The leading star is not as good as before, and the strength of the Cavaliers is obviously weakened.
迪布朗再次抽风，三分球14投8中。卡特只出场28分钟，拿到14分10篮板11助攻，生涯首获三双。
After three consecutive victories, the Raptors were 21 wins and 9 losses, and their record jumped back to the top of the Eastern Conference.Heat 20 wins and 9 losses, Knicks, Magic 21 wins and 10 losses, Pacers 20 wins and 10 losses, the top five records are very close.
The Eagles 18 wins and 12 losses, the Pistons 16 wins and 13 losses are not much worse, the prospects of the East are confusing, as long as they lose a few games in a row, they may fall behind.
The Raptors finished last in the Eastern Conference last season, and they won five more games than last year before the shortened season was over.According to a lot of media analysis, Yang Rui has already locked in the Best Coach Award this season in advance!
