Chapter 249 [Is There Still a King's Law?] Is there still a law? 】
Brad Miller played the entire quarter, scoring seven points, five rebounds and four assists on 3-of-3 shooting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the 76ers' strongest defensive interior player, Ratliff was the most uncomfortable against Miller, bouncing, speed, and reach advantages could not be brought into play.
Miller doesn't force the basket, but takes his time and walks leisurely, always getting the ball to the right place to form a mismatch or dominant one-on-one opportunity. But the big man is really far away, he can jump shots.
Bryn's comment: "Miller can drive opponents crazy when he has a good hand, and as an undrafted rookie, he's really an inspirational player. ”
"On the surface, the Raptors don't have a particularly high number of assists, but they actually have the best ball handling in the league and average assists," Fraser said. Billups averaged 4.3 assists per game from the outside, Carter 4.6 and Maddie 4.5. Veterans Honacek and Detreve are also good at passing, which is why they play the most fluid offense in the league. ”
In the second quarter, Raptors Hornacek and Christie played, the small forward was Maddy, who had a 4-minute rest, and the interior was Detreve and Willis, two veterans.
The 76ers fielded a guard of three men, Kevin Ollie, Aaron McGee, and Larry Hughes, and inside were Kukoc and Matt Geiger.
After seeing the 76ers' roster, Yang Rui was relieved, drinking milk tea and eating potato chips on the sidelines.
The timing of Larry Brown's substitution is no different from the last series, and there are traces to follow. A back three can add to the impact and play fast break after Iverson is off the court to ensure offensive firepower. But there is a big problem, no one on the 76ers can guard against Maddy, Hughes and McGee are short, and Kukoc is slow.
The Raptors didn't let up on the defensive end either. In the playoffs, Yang Rui asked the defense to strengthen the confrontation, keep the restricted area, be quick and ruthless when the foul was passed, send the opponent free throws, and don't let the opponent dunk.
The Raptors did just that, blocking the restricted area.
Detreve and Kukoc, who have similar styles and know what they hate with their own people, Willis guards the penalty area, is experienced and lightweight, and still withstands Geiger. He didn't play much in the regular season and made the playoffs at his best.
Brown saw that the guard couldn't break through and couldn't shoot accurately, so he only let Iverson rest for three minutes before switching to the court. The effect was obvious, and Iverson scored six points in a row.
Iverson didn't break through, shook out of the space and made a pull-up jumper, and Christie and Hornacek struggled to defend. He is too fast, and it is difficult to keep up once he changes direction, and his jump shot often relies on rhythm before the highest point, and can only interfere slightly.
Yang Rui does not arrange to trap Iverson, if he attracts the pack, whether it is a split or a shot after his teammates rush to grab rebounds, the 76ers role players can play, then there is a chance to win.
Therefore, the adjustment taken by Yang Rui was a substitution, and Boykins replaced the veteran Hornacek.
Everyone was shocked, whether it was the audience in front of the TV or the fans in the field, this substitution was beyond their expectations.
CCTV5 Zhang was reasonably surprised and said: "Yang Rui's adjustment is incomprehensible? Iverson is in good shape, he actually let Boykins play at this time, he is only 165CM tall, shorter than Iverson, isn't he defensive? ”
Sun Zhengping said with a smile: "I think Yang Rui is going to fight offensively, and Boykins' breakthrough ability is the strongest of the Raptors." Iverson didn't know if he could take his chances and score more points in the quarter. ”
Zhang Li sighed: "Iverson and Yang Rui greeted each other before the game, and the relationship between the two seems to be good. During Star Weekend, Yang Rui also participated in community labor with Iverson. In the main game, he also let Iverson be the core and won the MVP. But is it really good to give the opponent face like this in the playoffs? ”
Fake games are watched too much, Chinese watch sports games, no matter which country, what project, they like to think about conspiracy theories, and the commentators are no exception, but they are wrong.
Yang Rui is not "releasing water" at all, but strengthening defense. On the Raptors, no one is better suited to defend Iverson than Boykins. The reason why Iverson became a star is that his most important strength is speed, agility, not shooting.
After Boykins defended, Iverson had a harder time catching the ball and breaking through. Boigins is shorter, more agile and slightly slower than Iverson in a straight line, but he can get close to him as long as Iverson doesn't make a successful first move.
Others defend Iverson, and the close action is slightly bigger, and Iverson may be whistled for a foul as soon as he stumbles, and Boykins has no concern about this, which is also an advantage.
The 76ers cover and the Raptors are also very active in switching Iverson inside, unless he catches the ball and shoots immediately to get a good opportunity, but that's not the rhythm of play that Iverson is good at.
After two passes, his teammates failed to make it in, and Iverson began to go heads-up.
Iverson no longer looked for cover, and his teammates didn't cover him, as if against a minor role like Boykins, covering would be a shame on a superstar.
Yang Rui targeted Iverson's character, he is the kind of person who likes to compete with opponents, and whoever throws in front of him, he wants to return one. If the opponent is a guy who is not famous, he has to use his strength to teach the opponent to be a man.
Iverson broke through with the ball, didn't take the first step, leaned on Boykins with his back and turned to the middle, and stepped back to shoot a jumper.
Boykins is very focused, defends without losing position, and jumps up as much as possible to interfere. Iverson dodged the block, but the ball deflected off the basket and Willis grabbed the rebound.
The Raptors attacked, and Yang Rui would not arrange for Boykins to hold the ball and single-handedly challenge Iverson. The player pulled away and Willis flanked Boykins to cover.
Maddie split the ball, Boykins broke through with the ball, attracting Geiger to switch defenses and Iverson to chase after them, find an open space, and pass to the veteran Willis of the air cut.
Geiger hurriedly stepped back to the basket, and Willis was already activated, striding and turning, and leaning on Geiger to hit a close-range hook shot.
The 76ers attacked, and Iverson made another pull-up jump shot in the face of Boikins' interference, and hit the iron against the man.
The Raptors' offense was very simple, Maddy faced Hughes with a jump shot, the 76ers counterattacked, Iverson forced a layup inside, failed to completely get rid of Boykins, and was also caught by Willis and missed under interference.
Iverson rushed off the baseline, Willis won the rebound, and the Raptors immediately counterattacked.
Boykins quickly advanced to the front court and passed Kukic for a layup.
Conversely, the 76ers are not easy to guard against Boikins, and it will be too difficult for the big man to keep up with him.
The 76ers attacked, Iverson held the ball and went heads-up, leaned on Boykins with his back to the right horn, turned around and retreated to the middle for a jumper, and finally made a mid-range shot.
The Raptors attacked, still using star talent, Maddy made a pull-out jumper that missed, and the 76ers battled in a positional battle.
For the fifth consecutive time the 76ers handed Iverson a single, he dribbled under the crotch and changed direction, made a pullup jump shot on the right side, deflected off the basket with Boykins interference, and Willis grabbed the rebound.
After the Raptors substitution, Iverson made one of five shots and gave a disappointing answer.
Not only the fans, but even assistant coaches such as D'Antoni and Thibodeau found it incredible, when Yang Rui arranged it like this, they raised objections together, and now they are all convinced.
The edge of the human defense is super giant, how can this be good?!
Many Iverson fans were hit hard, feeling that their worldview had changed, and they couldn't figure out how Iverson, who was dominant, could be guarded by a skinny Boykins.
Is there still a royal law? Is there still a law?!
