Chapter 300 [Winning streak at the beginning, invincible team!] 】
In mid-October, Stana flew to Los Angeles to participate in Jennifer Aniston's film "The Girl on the Rye", playing a vase role, which is considered the second female lead. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As soon as his girlfriend left, Yang Rui found himself starting to get tired of life in Toronto.
When the day is the same, time flies faster. He talks tactics every day, talks to the players, trains, goes home, and so on.
Yang Rui can't feel anything new, the Raptors lineup is too strong this year, he feels that he will definitely win, it's not exciting at all.
The preseason proved this, the Raptors easily won all 7 games, the stars didn't play much, and the newcomers were all improvised.
KIRILENKO IS EXCELLENT DEFENSIVELY RIGHT NOW, MOVING INCREDIBLY FAST, KEEPING UP WITH POINT GUARDS, EASILY DISRUPTING OPPONENTS' SHOTS WITH HIS 228CM REACH, AND HELPING TO BLOCK ON THE SIDE. He's the kind of guy that's a nightmare for all outside scorers.
The tactics arranged by Yang Rui for him are very simple, keep an eye on the opponent's outside scorer, and on the offensive end in the bottom corner and on the wing and other opportunities, cut to the basket at any time, and catch the ball and impact the basket.
Kirilenko can play as a starter, he has a good sense of passing and can basically get the ball where his teammates need it, just a little worse than those top strikers swing man. His ball-handling ability is average or even mid-range among small forwards, with few ball-handling singles and breakaways. He has range, mid-to-long range shooting, and strong finishing ability under the basket, so the most efficient way to play is the air cut.
Parker is also eye-catching, he has a high ball quotient and can apply a lot of tactics. and the big inside's high blocking, breaking through after pulling away, air cutting and running, and so on. On the offensive end, he is not inferior to Boykins, and on the defensive end, he is much better than Boykins, at least he will not let people rely on his body to eat hard.
Veterans Tracy Murray and Dan Marley are all suitable for the Raptors' system, and they just need to wait for a three-point shot. And even with their experience, these two don't play much time due to their poor athleticism. The main substitutes are Halprin and Jumain.
The Raptors and Wizards played two preseason games, which were broadcast live on multiple radio stations. Everyone wants to see Jordan compete with his successor, and Jordan had just retired when Carter entered the league, which is a pity.
As a result, Carter didn't play for long, and the Raptors role players stole the spotlight and abused the Wizards.
O'Neal Jr. singled out the 203CM-tall Puoper Jones to play, and Miller pulled it out to make the Wizards a few heavy-duty interior heads. The new coach of the Wizards is the old coach Doug Collins, but the strength of the players under him is too weak, and his tactical system is not very effective, and he can't attack or defend.
Jordan is old, and once he managed to get rid of the defense and cut to the basket, Chris Whitney threw the ball into the air, and everyone thought he was going to make an empty dunk, but he just got the basket and put the ball in the basket lightly.
One game was 116-89, one game was 111-82, and the Raptors pressed the Wizards on a group of benches.
Jordan couldn't help but wonder if he had made a serious mistake in his comeback with the Wizards.
In the first issue of the official power list, the Raptors ranked first, followed by the Lakers, and everyone began to be optimistic about them.
After two days of adjustments, the regular season began.
On October 30, the Raptors challenged the 76ers away and won 108-74. The slaughter of the first game seems to have become a tradition for the Raptors, and Iverson missed the opening game due to injury, and the team simply couldn't organize an effective offense.
That's why Iverson won the regular season MVP last season, and he's too important in Larry Brown's system.
Before the start of the game, the 76ers, Hornets, and Warriors completed a three-way trade. The 76ers poached grumpy former star power forward Derrick Coleman, sent away multiple role players and forward George Lynch, as well as a 2005 protected first-round pick.
In the summer, Teylon-Hill switched to the Cavaliers, and the 76ers forward line has undergone a big change, and their goal is to win the championship, but the first game was a heavy defeat, and this lineup, plus Iverson is not much better.
On the 31st, the Raptors overturned the Heat back-to-back and won two in a row.
Mourning returned to a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds, Eddie Jones scored 25 points and Bryan Grant also scored 14 points and 10 rebounds.
The Heat did not lose to the Raptors in the frontcourt, and Anthony Carter and Kendall Gill were beaten by Billups and Reed, and the final score was 108-97.
On November 2, the Raptors opened at home, and the opponent was the Mavericks.
In the summer, the Mavericks recruited troops, and they were not lively, and they were also defeated cleanly against the Raptors. 119 to 92.
O'Neal Jr. had 24 points, 12 rebounds and three assists, Billups had 20 points and eight assists, Carter had 25 points, five rebounds and seven assists, and backup point guard Tony Parker also had 18 points and five assists.
Parker and Mark Jackson played pick-and-rolls and made several successful breakaways. He has a fast start and a well-controlled pace of shifting, allowing him to easily change direction and turn around at high speeds, with solid steps. Whether it's veteran Danny Manning or "Big Bamboo Pole" Shaun Bradley, they can't keep up with Parker after being misplaced.
The Mavericks can't defend at the center position, and no matter how many attackers there are, it's in vain, and the lineup is unreasonable.
On the 4th, the Raptors defeated the Pacers 113-81 at home, and this win was easier, with Best and Camby both suffering from fouls and going down early to rest. Ron Mercer came off the bench and was hit by Kirilienko's back-to-back defense, scoring only 2 points in 21 minutes of play, which was worse than the Bulls.
Kirilenko plays about 20 minutes per game and shows great talent, he is just afraid of the muscles that play with his body, and he can play as long as the opponent is attacking from the front frame.
On the 7th, the Raptors defeated the Warriors 121-92.
Carter exploded, shooting 12-of-24, 6-of-9 from three-point range and 9-of-10 from the free-throw line, scoring 39 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, teaching Larry Hughes to be a man in minutes.
Hughes, as the No. 2 position, is noble at 196CM, and his weight of 85 kg is too light, and Carter relies on his body to force a breakthrough, and he can't carry it. Hughes had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and was decent on the offensive end.
Jamison and O'Neal Jr. were on the opposite side, with 3-of-12 shooting, 1-of-1 three-pointers, and 3-of-7 free throws, scoring only 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Carter's girlfriend is Jamison's sister, and the two have a particularly good relationship and have always been close. Jamison often complained to Carter that he felt that his life was not good. If he hadn't made that deal when he first entered the league, he would have joined the Raptors, and he would never have been so miserable now.
On the 10th, the Raptors defeated the Jazz 106-98 away.
Carter maintained his brave state, and Yang Rui also arranged unlimited shots for him, playing 40 minutes, 14 of 32 shots, 8 of 14 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, and 43 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Veteran Brian Russell's quality declined and he was miserably abused, playing 29 minutes on the field, shooting 0-of-7 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with 2 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Jazz didn't pick Kirilenko, and the bench was John Wallace, who was too weak in the swingman position. Now the Jazz still rely on Karl Malone, he is the core at both offensive and defensive ends, Malone is off the court, and backup power forward Padgett is also cleaned up by Halprin.
Billups also played efficiently, shooting 10-of-12, 5-of-7 from three-point range and 1-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 26 points and four assists.
Ostertag's defense was dismantled, Stockton's strength was inferior, he couldn't jump up after the defense, and he couldn't cover Billups, so he could only watch him put cold arrows on the periphery again and again.
If it weren't for Donyel Marshall's super-level performance, shooting 10-of-11 from the field, 6-of-8 from the free-throw line, and scoring 26 points and 9 rebounds, the Jazz would have had to shoot in the third quarter.
It's time for the Jazz to rebuild, and with perseverance and chemistry, they can barely make the playoffs.
The Raptors have been in the news, and after six consecutive wins, it has been discovered that the Raptors seem to have returned to the invincible team they were in 2000!
