All the media reported on the Raptors' winning streak, and Yang Rui, who is only in his third season in coaching, has already helped two different teams break the winning streak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Coincidentally, when the Knicks broke the record with 16 consecutive wins, they defeated the Spurs.

The twin towers of the spurs are amazingly powerful. Popovich opened the season with a 14-4 record and is also a favorite for the best coach this season.

Everyone didn't want to be the backdrop for the Raptors to break the record, this was no ordinary regular season game, and the Spurs would definitely go all out to win, so they chose to practice more.

During the training match, Popovich scolded Duncan for playing too many singles. But Duncan was in good shape, and most of the balls went in.

Someone who doesn't pass the ball is wrong in Popovich's opinion, whether he scores or not. He has an eccentric temperament and doesn't want any player to be too showy, and he even thinks that getting 30 points is selfish.

Popovich asked his players to practice shooting, and the main tactics practiced were Duncan and Robinson to attack and attract defenders to share the ball and look for misplaced opportunities.

It was a nationally streamed match, and Popovich, who is already 51 years old, does not want to be beaten by a newcomer who is only 25 years old. Yang Rui's age makes the head coaches of the whole league uncomfortable, with an aura that naturally attracts hatred.

Popovich will analyze opponents through data, the Raptors are averaging 31.2 outside the 3-point line per game, and the team only takes 87 shots overall, more than a third of all shots are from distance, and have an overall three-point shooting rate of 41.8%.

The Raptors twin stars broke through sharply, coupled with the inside strategy, the players were all pulled away and could not be packed, so the shooting rate was super high.

This kind of play is the only one in the league.

Popovich knew that he couldn't rely on the stars alone, and he had to shoot from the outside, otherwise he couldn't beat the Raptors.

On the evening of the 5th, the Raptors' home court was full again, and the average attendance rate was already the first in the league. The facilities of the new stadium are not as shabby as they used to be, and the fans continue to praise them.

Owner Richard Peddy was moved to tears when he saw the statistics, and before Yang Rui's arrival, the first few rows of the arena were often empty.

Against the defending champions, the home atmosphere was at its peak, and the Spurs players were booed when they came out.

Fans are accustomed to welcoming the visiting team in this way, regardless of the strength of the opponent, and they want to help the Raptors in this way and let them achieve a better record.

Mike Brin was commentating on the game again, saying: "The Raptors are in first place in the East, and the Spurs and Trail Blazers are tied for first place in the West. The Raptors have what is considered to be the best outside line in the league, while the Spurs have the advantage on the inside. ”

Fraser looked at the information and sighed: "The Raptors have a number of statistics this season, the strongest offensive firepower, the strongest three-point firepower, and the most dunks." A lot of people say that the Raptors are soft inside, but in fact, their organization and shooting are a headache for opponents, giving defenders room to break through, and I can't think of any weaknesses in them. ”

Brin smiled: "Famous coaches have been defeated by Jerry Young one by one, no one has said that Van Gundy and him have a master-apprentice relationship, and the Knicks have not been doing well recently, barely reaching the level of the playoffs." ”

"Van Gundy doesn't seem to be qualified as an apprentice." Fraser teased.

Most Americans have a sarcastic spirit, a penchant for sarcasm, and occasionally self-denial.

The Knicks are hopeless, and if they don't play beautifully, they will be pointed out by thousands of people. This is indeed Van Gundy's responsibility, Yang Rui found five people in the summer league, and he let go of those who could attack, leaving only those who could defend, and the idea of building a team was wrong.

After the players warmed up, Yang Rui emphasized the tactics again. "People are marking, change defenses quickly, don't need to wrap up, if they can't shoot, grab the rebound and immediately counterattack, play behind the twin towers. Chauncey, play to the strengths of your body. ”

"Victory!" Led by Willis, the players shouted together.

Billups didn't play much this season, and his main task was to shoot three-pointers, averaging just 10.5 points per game. The Trident takes up a lot of possession, and everyone else has to cut back on shots, and Christie averages just 7.3 points per game.

But that doesn't mean role players don't have the opportunity to perform. In the necessary games, Yang Rui will arrange tactics for role players, and the biggest defensive weakness of the Spurs today, in addition to the speed of the twin towers, is also the 178CM tall "little general" Avery Johnson, who has a poor confrontation.

Once the Spurs players return to their defensive positions, it is difficult to break through the defense, and the Raptors want to win, so they have to increase their fast break!

Raptors starters: Billups, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., Miller.

Spurs starters: Avery Johnson, Mario Ely, Chaki Brown, Duncan, Robinson.

After seeing the success of the Knicks in '98, the Spurs began to focus on the three-point shot, bringing in veteran Mario, and also having Terry Burt, Jaren Jackson and Steve Kerr who were good at shooting threes on the bench.

Chaggie Brown started to defend Carter, and the Spurs' lack of a good small forward is also a shortcoming. They play with a lot of people, and the stars only have twin towers, so they are not favored by the public.

The jump ball Duncan won against O'Neal Jr., and the Spurs attacked first.

After the players pulled away, Johnson and Robinson played pick-and-rolls, attracting Miller's defensive ground pass to Duncan. Duncan leaned on the right side of O'Neal Jr. and turned to the middle to throw the ball in. 0 to 2.

In the Raptors' positional battle, Miller organized in the middle, Carter and O'Neal Jr. covered without the ball on the left, and Billups and Christie pulled away on the right.

Carter catches the ball, and Brown chases after him. Carter dribbled the ball under his crotch and took a step to the right, leaned his back against Brown, turned to the left side with his back, and shot the ball in 50 degrees. 2 to 2.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan received the ball on the right side, leaned on O'Neal Jr. twice to turn to the baseline, and scored a 45-degree basketball shot. 2 to 4.

Duncan is a man of God, and rookie is the pinnacle! When other rookies were still worried about playing time, he delivered 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.5 blocks in his rookie season, the best in the league!

O'Neal Jr. has improved again this season, and Duncan is still not an opponent, let alone now, even O'Neal, Jr., who was at the peak of the Pacers period, has been taught by Duncan to be a man several times.

Yang Rui didn't arrange a bag, not to train O'Neal Jr., but to not want to have obvious openings on the periphery, and the focus of the Raptors' defense is three-point shooting.

The Raptors attacked, Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, played a block with Miller and led it to the left side, attracting Robinson to switch defenses and distributing the ball to the middle.

Johnson defends hard, 178CM tall close-fitting Miller, wants to interfere with his shooting rhythm, Miller is not an ordinary big man, he holds the ball high with both hands, sees Carter cut in the air, and passes the ball over.

Duncan followed O'Neal Jr. to stand outside, Carter took three steps to catch the ball, and relied on veteran Brown to get up and score in the basketball. 4 to 4.

Chaggie Brown is 201CM tall, weighs 97 kilograms, and was selected by the Cavaliers in the second round of '89 with a total of 34 places, and he was also very physical when he was young, and his bounce was far worse than Carter's. As soon as a person like Carter jumps, the outside player can't cover it at all.

The Spurs attacked, Billups let Johnson go two steps away, and Robinson rounded the cover to catch up.

Johnson broke through to the middle of the ball and Miller was close to Robinson.

Facing Miller, who looked quite soft, Robinson, as the team's second scorer, chose to play alone, and was followed by Miller when he broke through with the ball, and threw a strong shot to the left baseline, and missed the basket under interference.

Miller's strength is not bad, he will be abused when he meets O'Neal, and he will not suffer when he encounters Robinson's type of confrontation. On the other side, Carter grabbed the rebound and passed to Christie, who quickly advanced to the front court to Billups.

Billups received the ball with both hands and changed direction, leaning on Johnson's right side to force a layup to score. 6 to 4.

The Raptors players are starting to play to the advantage of their talent again!
