Chapter 142 [Reused coolies]
On the morning of the 17th, Yang Rui was watching the news in the hotel and was turned over by his buddies.
The schedule is tight, Yang Rui is either leading the team to train or compete, and he has no time to find a woman on a date.
In order to dispel the growing "gay" rumors, Thomas Bentley went to Los Angeles from Silicon Valley to do something ridiculous. He attended the fan meeting of Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, sent flowers to show his love on the spot, and Boldly kiss.
Perhaps because of his outstanding image, Zeta Jones in a good mood met the request of his relative Fang Ze.
This move undoubtedly stimulated other fans, and many people rushed to the stage, so that the organizers had to dispatch female security guards to escort Zeta Jones.
Clear photos of Thomas appeared in entertainment magazines, and a live video was broadcast on a radio station.
Yang Rui suddenly felt that he had to find a woman to date. Now that he was younger, he should live more passionately, not just work.
That night, the Raptors challenged the Pistons away, and Willis and Miller were rested on the inside.
The last time they lost, Yang Rui saw clearly the number of ways the Pistons had. They were also playing fast break, swinging the leader, and the first two insiders were highly mobile. They were not good at attacking the basket. Chances are, the Pistons have obvious weaknesses.
Both teams have two "Jordan successors" who are highly praised by the league. ESPN, Toronto Sports, and CCTV5 all broadcast the game live.
The Raptors have slightly adjusted their starting lineup: Billups, McGrady, Carter, Detrev, Cato.
Pistons starting: Lynch Hunter, Joe Dumars, Hill, Don Reed, Beaison Dele.
Cato's jump ball wins and the game begins.
The Raptors players opened, Carter stood on the right bottom corner, Billups on the left bottom corner, Detrev 70 degrees on the left, Cato was in the low post, McGrady held the ball in the middle, facing Joe Dumars, no people cover.
Pistons coach Alvin Gentry's idea was to let Stackhouse take the bench against McGrady and add a three-pointer to the starting lineup. Unexpectedly, McGrady started this time.
McGrady faced 191CM Joe Dumars, took a step, and made a three-pointer in the middle.
McGrady coached the three-pointer at this position in the team. Yang Rui clearly told him that it was not surprising that he missed the shot, and it was normal to make more than 5 shots in a game.
Joe Dumars couldn't do anything, he couldn't even seal his eyes, the arc of the ball was flat, and it popped out of the basket.Reed grabbed the rebound and the Pistons fought back.
The four Raptors quickly returned to the defense, and the Pistons had to fall to the ground.Cato returned to stand against Reid, who was 203CM tall and weighed 116 kg.
When the pass failed several times, Hill singled out Carter, missed a step-back jumper, grabbed the rebound by Cato, and passed Billups for a positional battle.
Toronto commentator David Nellie said: "Today the Raptors have slowed down the pace, which is fine. If the fast break is the mainstay in a continuous back-to-back manner, it will be difficult for players to ensure efficiency, which is a big test for physical strength."
Clark - Thomson said: "McGrady is a rare starter. His matchup against Joe Dumars is an opportunity. He voted again..."
McGrady caught the ball in the middle and was another dry pull, playing strictly according to Yang Rui's arrangement.
He just entered the league with a body height of 203CM, and this year he has grown to around 205CM, with a wingspan of 221CM. How can Joe Dumars block this kind of shooting guard?Didn't jump at all this time.
McGrady found the crosshair and hit a three-pointer. 3 to 0.
The advantage of playing like this is that the player's personal advantages are brought into play, and the second is that it allows teammates to save energy and can focus more on the defensive end.
Hill once again asked for the ball to single against Carter.
In the team, Carter and McGrady, Billups, Alvin and others often singled out, and he gradually gained experience in defense.To deal with a breakthrough like Hill, it is necessary to guard against breakthroughs and not throws, and keep the interference in front of him.
The three-point difference is Hill's Achilles' heel. Last season, he made 21 three-pointers in total and only hit 3. So far this season, he has made 6 shots and has yet to make a three-pointer.
Hill rushed in and was double-teamed, and divided the perimeter to his teammates. Joe Dumars faced McGrady, and he failed to break through to Bisson. The latter singled out Detrev, turned around and missed the shot, and the rebound was grabbed by Cato. .
The Raptors landed again, the Pistons switched defenses, Hill went with Tracy McGrady, and Joe Dumars defended Carter from the bottom line.
This is uncomfortable for the Pistons, because Hill can drop back to the basket to protect the backcourt rebounds and launch a counterattack with a pass.But if he didn't change it, he was afraid that McGrady would never finish his pitch.
McGrady made the easiest choice, dribbling the ball horizontally and passing it to Carter, who ran to the right corner to get the ball behind his back.
Carter turned to the baseline against Joe Dumars and jumped with the ball in both hands.Joe Dumars hurriedly didn't hold the foul, Carter hit the basketball and the referee blew his whistle, 2+1.
Carter made a free throw, 6-0.
The Pistons attacked, Bisson received a return pass in the middle after covering, and faced Billups and scored a jumper. 6 to 2.
Bisson's strength is not bad. He played for the Bulls in the 1996-97 season, and the Bulls' second championship has his credit.
In the Raptors positional battle, McGrady passed it to Carter again. This time Carter sat directly low and turned his back to the penalty area. After hitting the 84kg Joe Dumars, his center of gravity was unstable, and he turned to score with one hand. 8 to 2.
Yang Rui identified Carter as the first core of the team because he was extremely comprehensive, and his post-up skills were considered top among swingers, but he was not as frequent back-playing as Kobe and Pierce, so few people mentioned it.
It is impossible for a general shooting guard to stand up to Carter, let alone a small man like Joe Dumars?
Gentry didn't respond slowly, and only 2 minutes into the game, Stackhouse was replaced, and Joe Dumars was replaced to strengthen the confrontation at the No. 2 position.
Yang Rui rushed into the field and shouted "shrink the defense"!
The players understood and changed their style of play. The four shrank to the penalty area, and only Billups followed Hunter from the outside.
Stackhouse faced Carter, feinted the ball and then made a three-pointer. As soon as he played, he faced someone's shot.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Stackhouse has been a man who has been shooting for a lifetime. His career shooting percentage is only 40.9% and 30.9% from three-point range. Even if he averaged 29.8 points per game in the season, the efficiency is not commendable.
The most suitable position for Stackhouse is also the sixth man, making him easy to play as a starter.
Even if Carter interfered slightly, the ball bounced off the rim, and Cato grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The Raptors attacked, Carter missed an emergency stop jumper, Cato grabbed an offensive rebound again, and scored a dunk on the second attack. 10 to 2.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Cato averaged 7 rebounds per game in the peak season of his career, but this does not mean that he is not good at rebounding, but because of tactics.
The most typical example is DeAndre Jordan. Before Rivers came to the Clippers, Jordan averaged a maximum of 8.3 rebounds per game. After Rivers became the coach, Jordan became the rebounding champion.
No matter how good people are, they can’t stand one-on-three. Before the Clippers, no one helped Jordan to get stuck, and the flank did not retreat. In the first few seasons, Jordan had to go out to guard against pick-and-rolls and protect Griffin.
During the Rockets period, Cato also faced the same problem. He often came out as a power forward to defend against pick-and-rolls. The penalty area belonged to Yao Ming. When he encountered someone who had difficulty resisting Yao Ming, he was allowed to enter. This is the sadness of the coolie.
