In the face of a point guard like Billups, Johnson did not dare to foul easily, otherwise he would easily be beaten into 2+1. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Billups has average skills, but he has a high ball quotient and knows how to use his strengths to strike his enemies. When the opponent is shorter than him, he will use his height strength to force the opponent; When encountering opponents who are physically strong but lack speed, his breakthrough ability can be brought into full play.

Yang Rui often praised Bilupus at press conferences, he is in a contract year, and the management must pay attention to it, and do not let other teams take advantage of it when renewing his contract.

If it weren't for Yang Rui's good greeting last season, the management felt that it would be more than 10 million for Miller in 3 years, but now Miller has become a representative of the league's low salary and high energy.

The Spurs attacked, and the ball was handed to Duncan again, and O'Neal Jr. defended alone.

Duncan is conflicted inside, because the coach's arrangement is for him to attract the ball after the bag clip, drive the outside teammates to shoot away, and now the opponent is strictly guarding the outside, isn't this forcing him to play alone?

Popovich is also thinking on the sidelines, it seems that it is not so easy to open the outside line, compared to breaking through and attacking the basket, the defense of three points does not require too good defensive skills, as long as you focus and change the defense in time.

The Raptors' defensive strategy, which largely compensates for the lack of experience of young players, and targets the weaknesses of the Spurs. The Spurs' offense is to attract the bag on the inside, and they lack a good ball-handling attacker on the outside.

Yang Rui maintained his usual relaxed posture on the sidelines, crossed Erlang's legs, held a plastic jar, and stuffed a cheeseball into his mouth from time to time. The way he watched the movie made Popovich very angry, and he couldn't wait to go up and slap him twice.

Mike Brin smiled: "Eating snacks on the sidelines has become Jerry Young's trademark, and all sports leagues in the United States can't find a second person, and the mentality is really relaxed." ”

"Not only in the United States, but also in the whole world, but he can lead the team to win and can also hit the morale of the opponent." Fraser laughed.

Duncan singled out O'Neal Jr., turned around and shot and missed under interference, O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound, and the counterattack came again.

Yang Rui often asked for a quick break in 5 seconds to shoot, Billups only took three seconds, to the front court to face Johnson is a dry pull, the ball popped off the basket, Carter rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, took the ball and shook it, attracting Duncan back to the basket, and the ball passed out again.

O'Neal Jr. followed up on the left and scored in the open spot. 8 to 4.

As soon as he runs, the Spurs' outside athleticism suffers, and Carter, as a swingman, is not a vegetarian in grabbing rebounds.

The Spurs attacked, Johnson and Robinson blocked in the middle, changed direction and passed Miller to score a layup. 8 to 6.

The Raptors can't prevent the Spurs from attacking, Yang Rui is not in a hurry, it is difficult for the starters to defeat the Spurs, he just needs these people to resist, and wait for the substitutes to come up and crush them, there is a gap in the depth of the lineup between the two sides.

The Spurs drafted Ginobili like Yang Rui in his previous life, he didn't join the NBA this season, and the "French sports car" Parker hasn't come yet.

"Admiral" David Robinson is old, rarely plays more than 35 minutes, and most of the offensive and defensive responsibilities are on Duncan's shoulders. Popovich frowned, thinking about how to withstand the Raptors' offense.

Not long ago, O'Neal played terrifying statistics against the Raptors, and he couldn't open the outside, Duncan was not enough even if he scored 40+, but the Spurs didn't have a better attacker than Johnson on the outside, and Terry Burt averaged less than 10 points per game with the bench.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Spurs defended tightly, and the Raptors shot down to 25-28.

Popovich didn't have half a point of joy, he knew that Yang Rui liked to keep hole cards and rotate, and sure enough, the Raptors Curry, Hornacek, Maddy, Detreve, and Willis played and easily suppressed the Spurs.

213CM, 120kg BACKUP CENTER FILTON SPENCE WAS FORCED OFF THE COURT AFTER ONLY TWO MINUTES, HE WAS TOO SLOW TO DEFEND THE SIDE WITHOUT BALL COVER, AND CURRY CAME UP AND HIT TWO THREE-POINTERS.

THE 201CM TALL, 113KG STRONG MAN MARRICK ROSE MOVES AT AN OKAY SPEED, THE MAIN ATTACK RANGE IS UNDER THE BASKET, AND HE CAN'T SINGLE OUT WILLIS, WHO IS 213CM TALL, AND THE POINT DIFFERENCE GRADUALLY WIDENS.

If it is Larry Brown of the 76ers, seeing that the team's bench can't stand it, he will immediately let the starters come back to play more, relying on the players' desire to win and perseverance to make up for the lack of depth in the lineup.

Popovich won't do that, and he continued to use the bench after falling behind, but sent David Robinson to strengthen the interior defense, and Duncan rested.

Popovich will not test the physical limits of his players just because he is behind for a while. He is well aware that if the players do not distribute their physical strength properly, the second half will never be the opponent of the Raptors.

Yang Rui doesn't have to worry about these, he rotates like the Spurs in later generations and controls the playing time of players, completely because there are too many people in the team who can play. Needless to say, the core of last season, Hornacek and Curry can also ensure high efficiency when they play less than 20 minutes.

In the second half, the Spurs still couldn't catch up with the score, Maddy singled out Mario Eri to disrupt the Spurs' defense, and Carter continued to play.

Popovich didn't arrange the bag, and the Raptors' empty position was accurate, and the bag would only die faster and worse. This is how the Raptors' previous big wins came, and several veterans should not be underestimated.

In previous seasons, Hornacek was criticized by countless people in the Jazz, and the media and fans believed that his poor defense was an important reason why the Jazz could not win the championship.

Although the stats have dropped this season, people have raised the rating of Hornacek, saying that he has brought a consistent three-point shot to the Raptors, and deserves the nickname "Death Gun".

There are also fans who have suggested that Christie's playing time be reduced, and with Hornacek on the field, the offensive threat is greater. Yang Rui won't do that, and Christie's tenacious defense is what the team needs.

On the defensive end, no matter what O'Neal Jr. and Detreve were packed up by Duncan, others did not cover it and resolutely guarded against the Spurs' three-point shots. Duncan's shooting rate is about 50%, his free throw shooting ability is average, and his offensive efficiency is not too high.

In the second half of the last quarter, the Spurs began to make strong shots to catch up with the point difference, but unfortunately they were not allowed. Jaren Jackson shot 1-of-6 from three-point range and Terry Burt shot 1-of-5 from the field, with a low shooting percentage, but the Raptors hit several counterattacks and scored easily.

109-92, the Raptors defeated the Spurs at home, opening a new record with 17 consecutive wins.

The Spurs shot 3-of-18 from three-point range and 43.9% from two-point range, while Duncan shot 15-of-22 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line for 33 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists.

Carter was the better on the Raptors' side, playing 36 minutes, shooting 15-of-25, 1-of-1 from three-point range and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line, finishing with 39 points, seven rebounds and two assists.

Maddy's 24 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks are also eye-catching.

Without wrapping up, the Raptors twin stars are super strong heads-up, and they can ensure offensive firepower without tactics. The swingmen of the Spurs are all veterans, can shoot, have experience, and are too poor in athleticism.

Like other coaches, Popovich is ready to go back to the management to see if he can make a mid-term trade, not for a star, but for a swingman who is good at defense.

Otherwise, with the current Spurs lineup, it is impossible to successfully defend the title, and it would be good not to be swept against the Raptors.
