Chapter 199 [Three Massacres, Crushing the Lineup]

Both sides sent substitutes, with Yang Rui giving Boykins a chance to perform, and the other four were Hornacek, Christie, Jumain, and Cato. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the addition of Hornacek, the Raptors have three capable shooting guards, and Christie's playing time has been reduced by a step. Two veterans led the fringe lineup, and the offense was still very organized.

Jumaine cameo at the No. 4 position, and his movement speed is top-notch, just like when Gerard Wallace was in the Bobcats, he accelerated in a straight line to beat other power forwards, and he could play fast break with Boykins and Christie.

In the positional battle, Boykins held the ball and Cato played a block and dismantle, and the others opened up and waited for three-point opportunities, and the division of labor was clear.

The Celtics' bench was powerful, and Walter McCarty, a 208CM-tall power forward, shot 4 three-pointers in a single quarter and 6 of 6 three-pointers in the whole game, helping the team bite the score, but he broke out a little late and was purely empty.

The Raptors beat the Celtics 134-103 at home for a two-game winning streak.

Boykins didn't play well, scoring just two points on 1-of-4 shooting and dished out two assists, which was not as reliable as the two veterans on the perimeter.

D'Antoni only felt that Boykins' training performance was good, but he ignored a player's mentality, training camp, preseason and regular season are different concepts, and suddenly Boigins was under a lot of pressure, wanted to perform, and had to look at the face of the veteran, and could not find the correct positioning on the field.

Yang Rui intends to let Boykins play on the fringes for a season, which is a must, and practice is the main thing.

Small newcomers are reused too quickly, which will make veterans disgusted, and looking at the problem from a player's perspective is what Yang Rui learned at the Knicks, and harmony in the locker room must be ensured.

The media praised the Raptors the next day, and they beat the Nets back-to-back away games that night, 125-92 for another slaughter.

The Nets have become a team with no characteristics, with average offense and average defense, and the only thing to watch is probably Marbury and Van Horn scoring, and the shooting percentage is not high, and they can't lead the team to win.

Carter, Maddy, and O'Neal Jr. scored 20+, and Miller also played steadily, with 13 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Six players on the team scored in double figures, and the offense was unstoppable.

The Raptors have been slower to switch between offense and defense than they were last season, but they have scored more points, and they are no longer relying solely on fast breaks, and they have increased their offensive shooting percentage and increased side cuts.

Yang Rui used the tactics of the Heat Big Three in his previous life, and it was impossible for the opponent to prevent the Raptors from attacking, except for the Bulls dynasty and the Pistons led by Brown, no team can have three super defensive players.

Against the Raptors trident, you can't use pseudo-joint defense to compress the defense line to the restricted area, because Carter and Maddy's three-point ability is better than James and Wade, and as soon as the opponent retreats, the perimeter will be pulled out directly.

With three consecutive crushing wins, the whole of North America went crazy, and major media sent reporters to interview the Raptors.

The Raptors players are unanimous in their rhetoric, their goal is to win the championship, and they want to have the best record in the regular season, and they are confident in the future.

Yang Rui was more high-profile, he said: "As long as we don't win the championship this season, it will be a failure for us, because the Raptors are the best team, and if we lose, we are sorry for the fans." ”

This Raptors lineup is terrifying, and there is someone who has exceeded Yang Rui's expectations, and that is O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr. averaged just 30 minutes per game, scoring 22 points and seven rebounds. This is only the 1999-00 season, and in his previous life, although O'Neal Jr. had a contract extension with the Trail Blazers for a high price, he was still struggling in a free-range state.

The environment is different, the people are different, in fact, even the peak O'Neal has not been able to play his biggest advantage in the Pacers - speed!

The Pacers are a team that emphasizes defense, always focusing on offensive positions, and also makes O'Neal Jr. more weight for defense. In the Raptors, O'Neal Jr. was often involved in the fast break. HE HAS BETTER PHYSICAL FITNESS, WITH AN ARM SPAN OF 226CM, WHICH IS DEFINITELY MORE FIERCE THAN ALDRIDGE AND BOSH.

In Yang Rui's previous life, O'Neal Jr. never had teammates of the level of Carter and Maddy to attract defense, and the defensive pressure he faced was much greater. Artest, Jackson, and veteran Reggie Miller are not super scorers, and point guard Tinsley and center Crohill have even worse offensive power.

Today, O'Neal Jr. has two Hall of Fame supergiants around him; three-pointers of ferocious Billups, Hornacek, Curry; The organization is very demonic, like Miller, the center of the point guard. O'Neal Jr. is not only unpacked, but also often the target of loose defense, and it is difficult to think of data without exploding.

The Raptors Trident are put together, and the combat power is greater than three.

Yang Rui thinks that the Raptors' lineup is placed in the 2011-2012 season, and there is no suspense in crushing the Thunder and the Heat, they all have three stars, and the bench depth is much stronger than those two teams.

It's not good, the Raptors' record this season can break the Bulls' record, and Yang Rui doesn't know what weaknesses this team has.

The two stars have super breakthrough ability; There are five veterans, and there is enough experience; Stabilize four three-point points, and more people can shoot three-pointers; Even if it is a strong play in the low post, O'Neal Jr., Cato, and Willis are not weak.

The Raptors lineup is almost in the sky, and there are still people singing the opposite. Some retired stars, old experts, intentionally or unintentionally, like to comment on young people and express their disdain.

Wilkins, "Iceman" George Gervin, "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar and others were interviewed, saying that the current NBA strength is far less than in the past, and Yang Rui is even more scornful.

Abdul-Jabbar said: "The Raptors' interior line has been tuned by Jerry Young to be a bunch of soft-blooded balls who don't get into the box at all, they just shoot like a guard on the perimeter. I'm more optimistic about the Lakers and Spurs winning the championship, if it's O'Neal, Duncan, Robinson, the Raptors' interior line can't be prevented at all. ”

Gervin said: "Now there are fewer stars in the league than in the past, and the defense is not as tough as in the past, if Jordan and I were still young, it would never be possible to make Carter and Maddie so arrogant, and the opponent would give them too many opportunities to make easy shots." ”

watched the news on the 6th, and during training, Thibodeau chatted with Yang Rui: "Jerry, should we be low-key in interviews in the future?" This is just the beginning of the season, and the big names are all targeting us. ”

Yang Rui smiled: "Isn't this kind of targeting bad?" The exposure of the team is super high, countless eyes are staring at us, the attendance rate, the ratings have increased, and the boss has invited us to dinner to express his gratitude. And the words have already been spoken, more than once, how else do you think we can keep a low profile? It would be hypocritical to keep a low profile. ”

Thibodeau shook his head: "But if we don't win the championship in the end, the media will definitely hold on to us, and the fans will be very disappointed." ”

"As long as the playoffs are eliminated, the fans will be disappointed, and I don't feel comfortable in my heart. At least they saw hope in the regular season, heard the bloody declaration, and were happy before the elimination, right? I just want to let everybody know that this season has to be won and get the players used to the gossip in advance. ”

"Exercise their mentality?" Thibodeau asked.

"Yes, the regular season will be regarded as a public enemy, and the playoffs will be bolder, there is a saying in China that dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water." Yang Rui paused for a moment and looked at Xibode: "Hey, why didn't you write it down?" ”

"This has nothing to do with tactics, what do I remember?" Xibodu Khan said: "Those celebrities say bad things about us, there will always be some bad effects, right? ”

"What the hell are they doing? Say whatever you want. ”
