Chapter 179 [Eastern Conference Finals, People Are Sleepy and Lacking]

At the press conference, the Knicks players expressed their disappointment, and Van Gundy summed up the game, saying that the veteran's lack of energy was the main reason for the loss. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Van Gundy allowed Ewing to play 35 minutes in the regular season and 40 minutes in the playoffs, and it is already a credit to the change in offensive tactics that he can survive until this time without injury. If Ewing can have physical strength, unless he is really Vajra.

Yang Rui commented on the game: "I am proud of all the Raptors players, whether they are veterans or newcomers, everyone works very hard, and we have the last laugh with the fighting spirit." I think the Raptors have what it takes to compete for a championship, and no matter what the final outcome is, it's going to be a perfect season for the Raptors. ”

No reporter thinks that Yang Rui is talking wildly, and the elimination of the Knicks is the best proof.

The reporter asked: "Do you think the Raptors can win the championship this year?" ”

"We're the biggest dark horse, and of course we want to be in the dark. But to be honest, it's hard. The Heat are not easy to play, and the top two in the West also have a luxurious lineup. ”

The reporter asked: "Which team in the west are you optimistic about entering the finals?" ”

Yang Rui replied without thinking about it: "Spurs, they have proven their strength by sweeping the Lakers, and they have the strongest interior combination in the league." Although the Trail Blazers have amazing depth in the roster, the play of playoff stars can directly affect the outcome of the game, and Duncan is a superstar who is difficult to deal with. ”

Yang Rui didn't say anything big, the biggest weakness of the Raptors is that the core is too young, and Carter and Maddie are not superstars.

And the schedule was too tight, and the Raptors flew to Miami that night to prepare for the Eastern Conference Finals, with only one day to rest.

Yang Rui did not arrange training the next day to allow the players to recover their strength. The Heat have been resting for several days, and they are playing at home again, taking advantage of the situation, and the Raptors can only rely on perseverance to fight.

Yang Rui stayed in the hotel to watch the news, and the media was all about praising the Raptors and belittling the Knicks. can reverse the Knicks in an unfavorable situation, and the media is not easy to find the Raptors.

Some people say that Sprewell is a "cancer", he joined the Knicks, and the team cooperation is not as tacit as last season.

Some say Ewing is overrated, and his performance this season is indeed average, and he does not have an overwhelming advantage against Willis.

Others believe that Van Gundy will definitely be out of class in the summer, he is far worse than Yang Rui, and the Knicks must find a better coach to coach in order to have a future.

To the horror of the Raptors management, many media mentioned that Yang Rui has only one year on his contract and is a free agent in the summer, and there must be many teams interested in him, including the league's traditional powerhouses.

Yang Rui has become a sweetheart, and most people believe that it is no accident that he led the Raptors to results, because no one was optimistic about this team last summer. If the new contract doesn't satisfy Yang Rui, he can leave.

On the morning of the 30th, the Raptors players adapted to training, shooting, and running tactics and then it ended, and there was no confrontation game.

Yang Rui gathered the players and boosted morale and said: "I think it's a bit early to take a holiday, so everyone has to go all out and win this series." You don't have any psychological burden, no one will blame you if you lose. Are you confident of winning? ”

"Yes!" The crowd shouted together.

Yang Rui said loudly: "Let's give the fans a wonderful game tonight." ”

The reality is brutal. As a dark horse, in the first game against the Heat, fans found that the Raptors players also had problems with their physical strength, and they were sleepy.

The Heat's offense is poor, but with Pat Riley leading them, they have a way to lower the tempo and fight their opponents defensively. The player's speed of return defense is fast, which is a good limit to the Raptors' counterattack.

The Raptors core can't run. With seven games and only one day off, the schedule wasn't very reasonable, but by the end of May, the curtailed season had been extended longer than usual.

The perimeter player has a terrible shooting hand and can't catch the weakness of Hardaway's short stature; Willis and O'Neal Jr.'s offense under the basket is also not good, and the Heat Mourning and PJ Brown are all masters of defending the restricted area.

The Raptors did a good job on the defensive end, and the two teams struggled until the final two minutes to decide the winner.

Mo Ning scored on a mid-range shot, cut the ball after blocking and dismantling, squeezed Maddie to score a dunk, and widened the gap to 5 points.

The Raptors players were forced to foul at the end, and Hardaway hit both free throws to seal the win. 76 to 83.

The Raptors' offense was far below average, and to make matters worse, DeBron was injured.

JUST 185 CM TALL AND WEIGHS 73 KILOGRAMS, ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DYBRAON IS HIS FEARLESSNESS AND AGGRESSIVENESS ON THE COURT.

However, as a dry chicken, his style of play will inevitably lead to an increase in the chance of injury.

After more than 1 minute in the final quarter, the Raptors O'Neal Jr. grabbed the frontcourt rebound and attacked for the second time, and DeBron actually rushed to the basket and was ready to grab the frontcourt rebound. O'Neill Jr. scored that goal and then stepped back. DeBlanc accidentally stepped on Witherspoon's foot when he landed after the jump.

Witherspoon's figure is very unusual, people have fat feet and fatter feet, and those feet are as long as bean bags, and it is not good to stuff meat into them if they are not special sneakers. Stepping on the surface of Witherspoon's feet is like stepping on a large smooth pebble, and then the eggs are gone.

DeBron bent his right ankle almost 90 degrees and fell to the ground, screaming in pain as he crawled out of the field. The referees took a timeout, and the Raptors' team doctor rushed forward to check on it, and helped Di Brown back to the locker room with the staff.

After checking, Di Brown will have more than four weeks of rest and will be reimbursed for the season.

With a day off, the two sides fought for the second time.

This time, Yang Rui strengthened the rotation and gave the benches a chance to perform in the second quarter, hoping that they could play a role by running and shooting and pressing all over the court.

It's a pity that Bowen White and Alvin Williams shot too poorly and became the focus of the opponent. Bowen made a three-pointer in the regular season, a bit of a statistic, and made the playoffs completely blue-collar.

Carter didn't play well against Mashburn, the opponent was stronger, constantly looking for confrontations, and disrupting the rhythm of shooting. Carter forced a breakthrough and was caught by the Heat's inside line.

Maddie has an advantage in the face of Dan Marley, and under the premise that the fast break can't be played, he can only shoot from medium and long distances.

The shooting rate of the two cores is not high, the outside Billups and Christie have an average three-point feel, and the Raptors can't break through the Heat's defense. DeBron has a good three-point ability, but he is out with an injury, and the Raptors are even worse from the perimeter.

Yang Rui is very helpless for this, he has repeatedly emphasized that Carter and Maddy practice three points in the season, and the shooting rate in the game is still only in the early 30%. It takes time for them to improve, but not this season.

The more you miss the three-pointer, the tighter the opponent will shrink, and the breakthrough will become more difficult. Veterans Willis and Detreve played steadily, after all, they are only role players, scoring limitedly, and cannot lead the team to win.

The Raptors defended in the same way, limiting Hardaway's breakout, but Mourning can attack in the low post and can also block and shoot in the show; Marsh instinctively relied on his individual ability to score heads-up points, and the offensive means were abundant.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Mashburn was injured in the first round against the Knicks, and now he is still alive and kicking up until the Eastern Conference Finals, which makes Yang Rui extremely depressed.

In the end, 83-87, the Raptors lost another game, and the overall score fell behind 0-2.
