Chapter 132 [The role of little people]
The applause for Yang Rui by the fans was harsh to Van Gundy, as if everyone was scolding him.
In fact, there are indeed many fans who scold Van Gundy.
In the auditorium, some Chinese fans held the slogan "Van Gundy is out of class" and shouted excitedly, which became a beautiful landscape and added extraordinary color to the game broadcast live in the United States.
The angry expression of the Chinese fan is indescribable. He seems to be kneeling on the ground at any time, beating gongs and drums to perform an explosive RAP - "From now on, Van Gundy's photo will be by my side, and I will never forget this hatred!"
Facing the defection fans, Van Gundy stood with a stubborn attitude and expressionless face.
This is the so-called "coach's psychological quality adjustment". No matter how confident you are, don't let people see the weak side, no matter how depressed Van Gundy's heart is.
When he saw the Raptors play in the lineup, he was instantly depressed.
Did Detrev go to Korea for plastic surgery?How has it changed so much?
What the hell is number 40?Does sending this guy look down on the Knicks?
CCTV5 also broadcast the game live, Zhang Lili was surprised: "The starting power forward sent by the Raptors is actually Ryan Bowen, a rookie selected by the Raptors in the second round of the 47th round, and has never been on the roster before. Willis, Det Rafe was on the sidelines, nobody was on the injured list."
Sun Zhengping's analysis: "Maybe Yang Rui wants to give up this game and ensure that the core players have the physical strength to fight for the next game? He said in an interview that the team has no goals this season."
Zhang Lihan said: "I think he may be trying to win by surprise."
Raptors starting: Billups, Christie, Carter, Bowen, O'Neal Jr.
Knicks starting: Charlie Ward, Houston, Sprewell, Larry Johnson, Ewing.
Yang Rui's employment aroused everyone's interest, and many audience members did not know Bai Bowen's name.
O'Neal beat Ewing with an explosive jump ball. Christie took the ball and slowly dribbled it across the half court, passed it to Carter, and the players moved away.
O'Neal Jr. made a pick-and-roll in the middle, Carter dribbled the ball to get rid of the sudden right, Ewing switched defense, Carter moved laterally, and made a jumper with a one-step emergency stop inside the three-point line, and the ball missed the basket.
This is the shooting distance that Yang Rui tells the players to avoid, but no matter how you say it, someone will make this mistake, and the habit formed in school cannot be changed at once.
Bowen Bai didn't grab offensive rebounds at all, quickly returned to defense, followed Ewing, man-to-man.
The home fans were all excited. O'Neal was actually dealing with Johnson, and Bowen was defending Ewing. This looked like a good scoring opportunity.
The Knicks don’t need Bruce Bowen to start, and Sprewell is reluctant to stand in the bottom corner honestly, so Johnson’s position is awkward now. In the bottom line, O’Neal Jr. guards him and can retract to the basket at any time to help block shots.
Seeing that the Raptors were on the edge of defending himself, Ewing felt insulted. He leaned back against Bowen to ask for the ball at the right horn, and Ward brought it to the frontcourt and passed it.
Yang Rui is playing psychological warfare, he just wants to create this kind of opportunity that seems to be empty, let the opponent attack this point and give up cooperation.
In fact, Bowen Bai relies on defense in the team. Except for veteran Willis, he is not reliable in single defense, and he is not bad when switching to pick-and-roll.
Ewing took the ball and leaned on Bai Bowen with his back, then turned towards the bottom line and made a "rabbit jump" jumper. Bai Bowen made an accurate judgment, kept up and jumped up and tried to seal his eyes, but the ball missed the basket.
During this time, the results of Bai Bowen's training with the team began to show.
Since joining the Blazers, O'Neal has taken his height-based jumper as the truth, imitating Rasheed Wallace.Ewing became the MVP last season, and he strengthened his belief in pulling out and shooting.In the team, Bai Bowen was responsible for defending him in training games, and he was used to this attacking method.
O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound and passed Billups, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt, shot a three-pointer on the left against Ward, and missed the basket.
Carter rushed to the front, stuck Sprewell and won the offensive rebound, scored a second jump and scored, 2-0.
"Madman" is 196cm tall and weighs only 86kg. Although Carter has just entered the league, he is 198cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is too strong.Ewing didn't run back, which is the benefit of fighting back in chaos.
The Knicks attacked, and Ward passed the ball to Ewing again. He leaned on Bowen to turn around for a jumper, and missed again under interference. The rebound was grabbed by O'Neal Jr.
The Raptors counterattacked. Carter received the ball in the frontcourt, lowered his head and rushed to the inside line. He leaned on Sprewell to hold the ball with both hands, took off with two steps and pulled the bar for a layup. The ball missed but caused a foul.
Carter is the best immediate combat power in this draft class. He can bully most swingers with his body without too much skill.After he made two free throws, it was 4-0.
The Knicks attacked, and Ward saw that Ewing was actively asking for the ball, but he still passed it.This time Ewing changed the left side to catch the ball, turned to the middle, and wanted to hook a hand close to the basket. O'Neal retraced to form a double-team.
The report given by the Knicks scouts shows that O'Neal Jr. has a strong ability to help defend and block shots, and has excellent bounce. Once he returns to the basket, he cannot force a shot.
Ewing passed the ball out, and Johnson missed the basket with a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
O'Neal was shocked because Yang Rui had instructed him to return to the basket before the game, regardless of Johnson's three-pointer from the bottom corner. If it was a 70-degree catch, he had to follow closely.
Johnson made a lot of three-pointers last season. The main shot point is 50-70 degrees on the right side.Because of the limited shooting points, Johnson only has a season with a shortened three-point line, averaging 2.6 shots per game.Even if Yang Rui emphasized shooting three-pointers last season, he only shot 2.2 times.
Yang Rui understands the characteristics of the Knicks players. Last season, he insisted on starting Bruce Bowen, who is good at corner threes, to make up for the shortcomings.Now, Van Gundy's adjustment has changed all that.
The Knicks attacked, Sprewell was entangled by Christie, and the force was indiscriminate to Houston, who moved on the side. After the latter screened, he attracted Bowen White to switch defenses and then passed Ewing.
This time, Ewing got the chance to single out Carter, turned and made a jumper farther from the basket, but still missed under Carter's interference.
The more Ewing wanted to show his strength, the worse his rhythm became. Carter was a defensive guy who likes to jump. It was easy to pick him up with a feint with the ball. Ewing directly took advantage of his height, and Carter was not afraid.
Johnson rushed to grab the rebound and was caught by O'Neal Jr. Christie picked up the rebound, turned around and made a long pass to the frontcourt.
Carter sprinted straight to get rid of Ewing, glanced back and took three steps, folded his hands and smashed his back! 6 to 0.
The Knicks attacked and continued to play on the side of Ewing and Houston, but failed to get a vacancy.
Yang Rui watched the ball on the sidelines, with Erlang's legs crossed, his arms folded over his chest, and a laid-back look. If Ewing singled out Bai Baowen, the efficiency would be difficult to guarantee.
What Bowen is best at defending is a big man who is taller than himself and whose speed generally depends on shooting. Ewing is helping him play his specialty.Against the Raptors, it is the right way to attack Bowen.
Never ignore the role of the little guys. If the Knicks don't make adjustments, the Raptors will win.
