Chapter 117 [Short Halftime]
David commented: "With 31 points in a single quarter, the Raptors played very well in the starting lineup, but if you want to win, you have to look at the performance of the bench."
Clark said: "The Raptors don't have a big-name star, but there are a lot of potential newcomers, and they are led by veterans, so they should be able to withstand it."
Yang Rui's goal is not to withstand the opponent's attack, but to send an attacking lineup of Detrev, O'Neal, McGrady, Carter, and Di Brown.
Alvin Williams, an important rotation last season, was directly reduced to a marginal person, and continued to sit on the bench with Miller and Leicester to wait for opportunities. Ryan Bowen and John Thomas did not make the 12-man squad.
The roster arranged by Yang Rui is foolproof. It includes players of any style. The opponent's heavy insider can also fight against Miller.
Swing man position, Carter, McGrady, Christie three rotation is enough.
In Yang Rui's opinion, Alvin is not worth cultivating. He is 196cm tall, weighs 84kg, and has a stump-like figure. His only specialty is his speed.
He has poor organization ability at the 1 position, and his breakthrough ability is average; when he plays the 2 position, his confrontation ability is poor, and his mid-range and long-range shots are average.The cameo point guard can play a dozen times, but his strength is not as good as Di Brown and Billups, and he is a "chicken rib" in the team.
After the start of the second quarter, the Raptors suddenly broke out.
The tactics are the same as those arranged in the first quarter. Quick counterattacks, without waiting for teammates, can grab shots and break through. McGrady, Carter, and Di Brown are all speed-types with amazing physical talent.
The other two needless to say, 185CM Di Brown is not an ordinary person. In his rookie season, he defeated "Rain Man" Kemp with a long-range blindfolded dunk in the dunk contest and won the championship.
Brown was seriously injured once in 96. Since then, the offense has changed to three-point shooting, and his breakthroughs have been reduced. However, his quality is still far better than ordinary people. His straight sprint is not inferior to that of young guards, and dunks are easy.
When encountering the running and bombing brigade, the Green Army's bench soon couldn't stand it anymore.
Center Eric Riley, with a height of 213cm and a weight of 111kg, is not a threat if he does not enter the basket.The Raptors grabbed the rebound inside and made a fast break as soon as they passed.
The Green Army also has a double guard on the outside, 180CM Barros and 188CM Marlon Garnett.
Looking at the name, there is no more fierce defender than the Green Army, but he is a rookie who joined the NBA without drafting. He has no body and no experience. This is the first game of his career.
The Raptors also have a way to score in positional battles. McGrady is the playmaker in the middle, and O'Neal Jr. and Detrev both pull out to cover without the ball.Carter and Di Bron can run to catch the ball on both sides, and can also cut to the inside.
After the screen, the inside line switch was a little slow, and Carter made a successful empty cut.
This routine is very simple. The Green Army did not dare to relax the defense of Carter and veteran Detrev. O'Neal on the weak side showed his power again. After the dislocation, Anderson scored two mid-range shots, and once cut in and received an empty pass from Carter, Dunk with both hands.
Power forward Walter McCarty, who is 208cm tall and weighs 104kg, had an accident as soon as he left O'Neal. He didn't switch defenses, and Di Brown also hit a three-pointer.
If it weren't for McGrady's poor shooting feel, facing 188CM guard Malone, he would not make three shots with better chances, and the Raptors would have directly dealt with their opponents in one wave.
Even so, they went 13-4, widening the lead to 17 points.
Yang Rui guarantees rotation and rationally distributes the physical fitness of veterans.
Willis did not play in the second quarter, Detrev and O'Neal were full, and Billups replaced Di Brown, who was in general condition, in 6 minutes on the periphery, and Christie replaced Carter.
McGrady played the whole quarter, and the second half began to show his power.
With his height and long arms, he has obvious advantages in playing swingers. The central organization makes it easy to observe the movements of his teammates and distribute the ball to a reasonable position. When the opponent thinks that he will pass the ball, he suddenly starts with one step, changes direction, and enters the basket in the middle. Come on, here's a dunk!
On the counterattack, McGrady also relied on his physical advantage to score two layups, completing a 2+1 and fouling Pierce.He scored 7 points and provided 4 assists in a single quarter.
Yang Rui used the classic play style of Cavaliers James later.McGrady doesn't physically crush opponents like James, but he has an incredibly fast first step and can attract defensive points like James.
Strictly guarding the defender's breakthrough, the ball went out, and Detrev also hit a three-pointer.
The Raptors led 63-44 at halftime, and the Celtics were fooled.
During the intermission, Toronto Sports broadcaster Clark mentioned Yang Rui. "In the summer, Jerry was on the news frequently because he participated in the food reality show. Many fans thought this foodie coach was cute, but he couldn't make the Raptors stronger. It turned out that it was only the first game, and he made the team reborn. ."
David laughed: "Buch Carter, the former coach of the Raptors, was interviewed before the game and said that the Raptors are a bad team, and they are definitely not the opponents of the Celtics. I don't know how he feels now and whether there is a way to help the team reverse. He Probably the most embarrassing person in the audience today."
Clark sighed: "Now, who can say that the coach is not important? Jerry has proved himself. His adjustment is actually very simple, that is, let the young players run. Today, the Celtics lost on the counterattack."
David nodded: "He made full use of the advantages of young players. The attacking rhythm was too fast. He dared to shoot when he had the opportunity, and was very determined."
As an opponent, Pitino saw that the Raptors won in a fast-paced offense and defense transition, but had no countermeasures to suppress them. He could only arrange small-ball tactics and run with the Raptors.
The training of the Green Army is mainly based on positional attack and ensuring offensive efficiency. They hardly practice fast breaks. How can they run when they encounter the Raptors who train fast breaks before the start of the game?
What were the Raptors like last season?Butch made a detailed introduction before the game.Slow pace, poor shooting, and 104.2 points per game, hopelessly lost.
As a result, the Raptors were fast-paced today, shot more three-pointers, and introduced two extremes.Pitino is a fool and sees the problem.
Comparing Yang Rui and Butch, who is the useless one is really clear at a glance.The management of the Green Army thought it was a bargain because Butch had been the Raptors coach for a while last season.Looking at it now, if it weren't for Darnell Walker's coaching for most of the season, Butch would be more like the culprit behind the Raptors' inability to win.
The useless coach can use the star as a role player, and can also force the generally talented player to become the first attack point.Last season, McGrady was a blue-collar man, and he opened up waiting opportunities on the outside of the offensive end, even if McGrady's physical talent was the team's strongest Butch.
In Butch's offensive system, Christie is in charge of dribbling the ball from the outside, averaging 16.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.4 steals per game, hitting the peak of his career.
Christie's shooting percentage barely reached [-]%. If his main attack is to win, it is absolutely hell.
Pitino is also the general manager, executive president and club chairman. In just half-time, he decided to let Butch Carter go after the season.
