Yang Rui really doesn't take the Pacers seriously, the Pacers' tactical play is similar to that of the Raptors, and the biggest star is Reggie Miller, how can he win?

There are really no strong teams in the East this year, except for the Raptors. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Pacers reached the Finals in 2000 because the overall strength of the Eastern team was too weak, and if it wasn't for Kobe Bryant's ankle sprain, it was estimated that he would be swept by the Lakers in the finals.

The only thing Yang Rui had to be careful about was that Maddie and Carter didn't get hurt by Jalen Rose, so he arranged for O'Neal Jr. to be the main attacker instead of the two swingman breakaways.

After retiring, Rose appeared on ESPN's talk show and publicly admitted that he had stretched out his sinful black feet to Kobe.

"The 2000 NBA Finals. Kobe Bryant took a jump shot on the right side, I was in charge of the defense, and Kobe stepped on my foot. He limped off the pitch and missed the rest of the game. Pressed by reporters, Ross said, "I think I did it on purpose, I can't say it was an accident." ”

Rose then said that five and a half years later, he paid the price for such behavior, and Bryant scored 81 points against the Raptors, who he played, and gave it his all against the position.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Raptors were very bad, and now this Raptors, even if Kobe Bryant drinks a bottle of stimulant and plays two overtimes, it is impossible to score 81 points.

The Raptors players were also high-profile in interviews, and they all felt that their team could win the championship.

Carter said: "We're the best team, everybody believes that, and the rest is just up to Jerry, he's always right. ”

O'Neill Jr. laughed: "I love the role I play in the team, I really hope I can play like this every game, I feel like a real star. ”

In the second game, Yang Rui continued to arrange O'Neal Jr. to play as the core offense, and Carter attracted Rose outside the three-point line and other opportunities.

When Maddy came off the bench and singled out Miller had an advantage, Bird asked Rose to defend Maddy, and the ball was immediately transferred to Carter and O'Neal Jr.

When they don't have the ball, Carter and Maddy naturally focus on the defensive end, and Rose and Miller face a lot of defensive pressure.

108-85, the Raptors won easily, leading 2-0.

After two seasons, the Raptors' defense has improved significantly, with Christie and O'Neal Jr. performing the best, and Maddy and Billups are not bad. When Cato played, the Raptors' restricted area was a no-fly zone. Even Carter can reach the league average.

The pressure is all on the Pacers' side, and although the two outside stars can score a lot of points per game, the shooting percentage is only about 40%, and the Pacers can't pose a threat to the Raptors without a third strong attack point.

The Pacers' worst performer was center Schmitz, who made the playoffs, and as the league's second-highest power center, he averaged only 11 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. This series was even worse, the Raptors grabbed him and beat him hard, Bird didn't dare to use him anymore, and his playing time was shortened to 18 minutes, and he didn't score in double figures in either game.

The team's third-highest scorer was Crohill off the bench, averaging 9.4 points per game, what a tragedy?

Back at home, the Pacers still failed to defeat the Raptors on the premise of having a home whistle, losing 102-108.

The Pacers scored in double figures for all five of their team, and Crohill made 4 of 5 three-pointers, playing at a super level. It's a pity that the Raptors' offense played more beautifully.

Brad Miller had an outstanding performance with 17 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, and was 3-of-5 from three-point range.

O'Neal Jr. shot 17-of-31, 1-of-2 three-pointers, 10-of-13 free throws, and slashed for 45 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Two interior stars got the Pacers, O'Neal Jr. went crazy after getting unlimited shots, not only scored several jump shots, but also showed gorgeous footsteps in the low post, as long as Davis defended out, Schmitz, Crohill, and Perkins couldn't do it.

O'Neal Jr. is too fast, not at all like the inside, receiving the ball with his back to the middle or turning around on the baseline, and he can shoot calmly. When he catches the ball in the face frame, he can also pose as a triple threat like a swingman, jump shots or breakthroughs, and share the ball.

After the game, the Pacers management was not talking about how to win, but envious of the Raptors' interior depth, and it would be nice if they could dig O'Neal Jr. or Brad Miller into the lineup.

Bird also feels that O'Neal Jr. is definitely the core of the interior when he arrives at the Pacers, and his strength will be greatly improved.

In the fourth game, O'Neal Jr. finally became a blacksmith again, and Billups, who had played three soy sauce games, stepped up again, shooting 10 of 17, 5 of 10 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 30 points and 5 assists.

All five players on the team scored in double figures, and even Carter, the second-highest scorer, scored only 14 points, which was enough to help the Raptors beat their weak offensive opponents.

The Raptors defeated the Pacers 94-78 and swept 4-0 again to advance to the Finals first.

Rose shot 5-of-15, 3-of-5 from three-point range and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line for 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Miller finished with 16 points, four rebounds and one assist on 6-of-16 shooting, 2-of-9 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws.

Although the "Miller Moment" has gained popularity, it has not been repeated in his life, and most of the time he has made a last-minute shot and then lost the game.

Schmitz's performance was terrible, playing 12 minutes, 0-of-6 shooting, 0 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

If it weren't for backup point guard Best who made two three-pointers in the final quarter and scored 14 points, six rebounds and three assists, the Pacers would have been slaughtered at home.

At the press conference, Bird congratulated Yang Rui and did not comment too much on the game.

Reggie Miller said depressedly: "The Raptors have stars inside and outside, they are too strong, even if it is the Bulls in 1996, I don't think they will be able to beat this Raptors." ”

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief because Rose didn't stretch out his black feet.

In a different position, Rose did not make a mistake, and in Yang Rui's previous life, the Pacers were very close to the championship. The Lakers only had two stars, one reimbursed, and the Pacers could get a championship ring, so Rose did it.

Rose also wisely chose Kobe, if it was to reach O'Neal for the jumper, the end might be that Rose's foot was stepped on and shattered.

Now if the Pacers want to win, they have to eliminate at least two Raptors stars, and of course Rose won't do it. He's not that professional in hurting people, and even if he can do it, he won't want to mess around in the future, David Stern will clean him up.

The reporter asked Yang Rui: "Which team in the west are you optimistic about to enter the finals?" ”

Yang Rui thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm optimistic about the Lakers, but I'm afraid I will have to wait a few days before I can play in the Finals." Although the Lakers lead the Trail Blazers 3-1, the difference in strength between the two sides is not very obvious, and I am optimistic that the Trail Blazers will win next game, and then return to the home court to continue the efforts and drag the game into a tie-break. It would be a shame to hope that the Lakers don't get reversed 1-3. ”

Yang Rui's bad taste is here again, this is a good opportunity to pretend to be a god, don't say a few words from the crow's mouth, disgusting the Lakers, I'm sorry for the identity of the reborn.

All the reporters are happy, this is big news!

What does it mean to steal the show? Yang Rui always has a way to steal the limelight from players by mouth, and no coach in the NBA has been able to do him before.

Hit the opponent's morale, so you can still play like this? Sounds like a curse.

Reporters can't wait to see how the Lakers react after the news is released. Before the Western Conference finals were finished, Yang Rui wanted to stir up trouble and fight, which is very rare.
