Zhang Liqi said: "Yang Rui actually called a timeout, leading so much, why is this?" ”

Xu Jicheng said: "Maybe he is afraid that Halplin will be injured, but then just make a direct substitution, there is no need to call a timeout." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Only Thibodeau, who has been with Yang Rui for the longest time, guessed why he called a timeout because he didn't like Reggie Miller. Halplin has injury concerns, and Miller's move would affect the Raptors' plans for the entire season if Harprin were injured, and Halplin was the team's sixth man this season.

Gathering the players in a circle, Yang Rui did not mention anything about the players, and made substitutions first, Brad Miller, Haplin, and Billups rested, and Curry, Reed, and Jerome played.

He picked up the tactics board, drew a simple diagram, and talked about tactics.

Carter was in charge of playmaking, attracting the defense to break through the ball, and Curry pulled away and waited for a three-point shot. The inside double screen helps the player run to catch the ball, and the main point of attack is Reed.

"Michael runs without the ball, catches the ball and shoots, just like in the training camp, you must be resolute in singles when you break fast, and if the opponent is in place in positional warfare, as long as you have confidence, you can also shoot strongly, my requirement for you is not to stick to the ball, and you must play the ball in three seconds at the latest."

Yang Rui looked at the core players and smiled: "Today's task has changed, because the Pacers are too weak, and there is no suspense about winning, so I hope everyone will use this game to help Michael build confidence." He's got a good touch and helped him score as many points as possible. Vince had a good chance to shoot again, passing-oriented. Inside to protect the rebound, Jerome can cut in the air and grab the rebound in the frontcourt. When the opponent's interior line is not under the basket, everyone can also pass to Jerome to attack. ”

Reed trembled with excitement, Yang Rui patted him on the back and smiled: "Relax, we can't lose, you boldly throw, treat this as a practice match." Remember, you're the one who's going to be a top off-ball star, you're strong. Cut down on breakouts and take advantage of your shots. ”

"Thank you." Reed bowed to Yang Rui.

What rookie can hear this kind of encouragement in the first game of his career and become the tactical centerpiece? It is difficult for even the champion to get such treatment. This is something Reed could never have dreamed of.

He was under a lot of pressure, took a few deep breaths, said "I can do it" in his heart, and walked onto the court.

The Pacers also made a substitution, with McKay coming on for Harrington, who had to rest for a while.

Thibodeau whispered, "Are you deliberately arranging for the rookie to score more points in order to embarrass Reggie Miller?" ”

"If he can use trash talk and small movements to prevent off-ball play, he won't be embarrassed and I will admire him. If not, what the media said about him after the game has nothing to do with me, I just want to help the newcomers build confidence. Yang Rui smiled.

Let Reed do more and help him brush up on beautiful data. It's all shooting guards, and Reggie Miller will definitely be humiliated. People who don't watch the game will think that the rookie has blown up Reggie Miller, and they will not care how many covers there are in the game.

If Reed can't seize the opportunity, doesn't play well, the shooting rate drops, the data is average, and the Raptors have nothing to lose, anyway, the score is ahead. If you really want to be caught up with the point difference, you can also send the main force again.

Reggie Miller saw Halprin being replaced, and was a little complacent about his "toughness", but as soon as the Raptors sent the throw-in, the opponent rushed at him.

Jerome blocked Miller and helped Reed run for Carter's pass, but Camby couldn't get out.

Just a few rounds, Camby always wanted to retract into the penalty area to make up for O'Neal Jr., Jerome is a high school forward who is thicker than O'Neal Jr., and he doesn't dare to change his defense at will, otherwise the opponent will cut empty, how can Miller defend against this kind of macho man?

Today, Reed had a convulsion, his hand was hot, and he didn't miss this open opportunity, catching the ball and jumping shot, with a good rhythm, and the ball went into the net hollow, and he scored his 15th point.

"62-30, this game has entered garbage time, Reed hit his fifth three-pointer, and his condition was unbelievably good, 5 of 6 shots," Zhang shouted. ”

The Pacers attacked, Miller went to the frontcourt to run to catch the ball and shot, trying to return a three-pointer, but was seriously interfered with by O'Neal Jr., and the ball deflected off the basket.

Jerome grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and passed it to Curry nearby, Curry distributed the ball to Reed in a straight line, the opponent missed the shot, and the Raptors counterattacked very resolutely.

Reed took half the court, paused in front of the three-point line on the right side and looked at the middle, as if he wanted to wait for his teammates, and then he suddenly slapped the ball with his left hand and changed direction with his right hand, passed Crohill in one step, and made a 50-degree pullup jump shot on the right side, scoring on the middle shot.

64-30, 17th personal score. Reed didn't rush to the basket and didn't give McKay a chance to make up for it.

The Pacers attacked, and Best broke through after blocking and passing Jerome for a layup. 64 to 32.

The Raptors attacked, Jerome covered without the ball on the periphery, and McKay changed the perimeter defense, Reed received the ball and moved to the middle, and O'Neal Jr. made a second block.

Reed made an 80-degree pullup jump shot on the left side and missed the basket with a three-point shot from Reggie Miller's defense. Camby followed O'Neal Jr. to the outside, turned his head too late to return to the box, and a slicing Jerome grabbed a frontcourt rebound.

THE VETERAN MCKAY IS 206CM TALL AND WEIGHS ONLY 93 KILOGRAMS, AND AT HIS PEAK IN THE SUPERSONICS, HE AVERAGED 34.4 MINUTES PER GAME, 15.7 POINTS, 6.1 REBOUNDS AND 2.3 ASSISTS. He is a space-based interior player who is strong in offense and weak in defense, and can pull away shots, but his rebounding efficiency is extremely low. His weight couldn't hold Jerome's.

Jerome's free throws were not good, and Yang Rui arranged for him to take the rebound and immediately find a teammate, so he passed the ball out again.

Curry received the ball and then split Carter, who took a step in the middle and passed to Reed, who ran to the bottom right corner.

Reid made a big circle from the left, found Jerome in the low post to cover, ran to the bottom right corner, got rid of Reggie Miller and stunned Camby as well, and followed Jerome in the low post.

Reed received the ball and half-turned and jumped, his hand was too hot today, the other party didn't know enough about him, and he didn't follow him closely, and the ball went in again.

67-32, 20th personal score.

Thomas "The Assassin" didn't call a timeout, he still didn't know what was going on with the 22nd, and he didn't know if he wanted to trap him.

Before the game, Thomas and the assistant coach discussed defending O'Neal Jr., Carter, Miller, and even Boikins, but did not take Reid to heart. Now this rookie is about to kill the Pacers.

The Pacers attacked, Miller singled out Carter and forced a break through the ball, and Best got rid of Curry by covering and hit a three-point shot. 67 to 35.

Yang Rui knew that Jerome's defense and dismantling were terrible and there would be loopholes, but he didn't plan to make substitutions, which was a workout for newcomers. And Jerome can also play a role on the offensive end, with his massive body pulling out and covering a higher quality.

The Raptors attacked, Reed ran back from the baseline to the middle, received Carter's ball on the right, Jerome and O'Neal Jr. came to a "elevator block" in the high post, closing the door to block Reggie Miller, Camby, and McKay.

Reed half-turned and jumped for a three-pointer in the middle, and no one interfered in front of him, and hit another three-pointer.

Mike Brin exclaimed: "Reed showed a terrifying long-range shot, Maddy left, and the Raptors seem to have found the perfect replacement!" ”

70-35, Reed scored his 23rd personal point, shooting 7-of-9 from three-point range.

Thomas called for another timeout for the first game of his career in charge that would be an experience he would not want to look back on.
