The Wizards don't rate it well this season because they made a one-sided trade with the Kings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Kings sent Richmond, who was in the twilight of his career and whined, to get the Wizards' talented and somewhat character-flawed power forward Chris Webb.

Webb joined, and the king was definitely going to rise.

Someone like Wizards owner Abi Boleyn...... He's insane.

Without Webb, the Wizards can only focus on the outside offense, and the inside starters are Juwan Howard and Terry Davis, who are 206cm tall and weigh 102 kilograms.

Yang Rui knows this person because he has a son named Ed Davis, who joined the NBA in 10 years and has a good draft pick.

In the locker room, Yang Rui summoned the players and announced: "Today's internal lineup adjustment, Kevin, John are on the bench, and Dete and Jermaine are starting. ”

John Wallace was already a little upset when he didn't go to the press conference to talk about his feelings, and he was excited to get excited and blurted out: "Why?" ”

Yang Rui smiled slightly: "It's a good question, because they are more suitable to start this game, have stable shooting ability, and can open up space." The Wizards' two starting interior players are both soft, lacking the ability to attack in the low post, but they are very mobile, and they must have to play positions for many rounds. ”

Wallace had nothing to say, the coach explained, is he still aggressive? Although he had a number of highlight-reel performances last season, no one regarded him as a star, and the management would not be on his side.

Yang Rui continued: "It's still an old tactic, there is a chance to launch a fast attack, if the opponent is fast to return to the defense, the positional battle Detra opens space on the side and waits for the opportunity, and Jermaine is responsible for blocking and dismantling in the middle to help Vince get rid of the defense." Vince can attack with the ball and can also cross to Jermaine in the middle. Pay attention to the coordination, and then Tom says defense. ”

Thibodeau emphasizes the defensive formation of man-to-man, with the four trying to shrink around the box and let the opponent shoot far away from the basket.

Thibodeau can replicate Van Gundy's defensive system, but in terms of rotation and defense, it is not something that can be practiced overnight, and it is enough to shrink against teams that are not good at three-point shooting.

According to the rules of the NBA, simply put, a person must be with an offensive player, not too far away, and more than three seconds will be blown "illegal defense". If you think of half the court as a chessboard, the defender and his attacking player must be on any two adjacent tiles, and if they are not in each adjacent tile, blow "illegal defense" for 3 seconds.

This rule has long been dead in name only this year, and if the referee is really blown like this, there will be more "illegal defense" per game than fouls on both sides, which can exhaust him.

The average points per game of NBA teams showed a decreasing state, with an average of 107 points per game in the league in 90, about 105 points in the following years, 101 points per game in 94 and 95, and 99.5 points per game in 96. After that, the referee doesn't care about any illegal defense at all, and strong teams like to block the penalty area.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the NBA's defensive values in 99 years would reach an all-time high, averaging only 91.6 points per game. In the shrinking season, in order to preserve physical strength, all teams invariably adopted the lazy method of positional offense and defense, shrinking the gambling penalty area, to put it bluntly, 122 joint defense, collective illegal defense.

In this environment, a group of three-pointers in the Raptors team accelerated the pace and ran and bombed, and it was difficult not to attract attention.

Starters, Raptors five: Billups, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., Detreve.

Wizards Five: Strickland, Richmond, Calpotter Channey, Juwan Howard, Terry Davis.

On the surface, the Wizards' lineup is not bad, but it has actually lost its rationality, and it is a big problem for both guards on the outside to hold the ball. Richmond, who has been complaining since the king, is arrogant, how can he be willing to play without the ball?

The Raptors had the same problem, and Yang's solution was to have Maddy off the bench, stagger a quarter with Carter, and share the ball the rest of the time.

O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball to beat Davis, and Christie received the ball and dribbled to the front court for Carter, then ran to the bottom right corner.

Christie is a selfless person, sacrificing the ball, playing strictly according to Yang Rui's arrangement, and standing in the bottom corner to attract the defense in the positional battle.

Carter and O'Neal Jr. blocked and dismantled in the middle, broke through with the ball, changed direction and jumped to get rid of Davis from the right side, Calpott made up for the defense, Carter jumped up and faked a real pass to distribute the ball to the bottom corner.

Christie took an easy shot unattended and hit a solid three-pointer. 3 to 0.

The Wizards attacked, the Raptors defense was in position, and Strickland gave the ball to Howard and let him single out O'Neal Jr.

Howard signed a huge contract of 7 years and 105 million with the Wizards in '96, and is recognized as a star power forward. What about O'Neill Jr.? The Trail Blazers are on the fringe, and few fans knew him before the Camby swap. Wizards coach Bernie Bixduff rightfully thinks this point has an advantage.

As a result, Howard received the ball in the right corner, turned to the baseline and was stuck by O'Neal Jr., and then turned to the middle and was also followed, and was also caught by Detreve.

Howard will be seriously disrupted whether he throws or hooks, he knows that Davis has no mid-range shooting ability, so he has to distribute the ball to the outside, and he has obvious intentions to find Richmond in the three-second zone, and Christie is directly stealing in front of him.

Christie sped across half court and distributed it to Carter, who followed up.

Carter dribbled to the ball and leaned on the Culpott lever to score the basketball. 5 to 0.

Carter's skills are not mature now, and he completely relies on speed and bounce to bully people, and Calpott can keep up, but he can't cover it.

The Wizards attacked, Richmond received the ball and went heads-up, failed to pass Christie by skill, the pull-up jump shot was deflected under interference, and the rebound was obtained by O'Neal Jr.

In the Raptors' positional battle, Christie went to the bottom corner again, and this time the Wizards players didn't dare to wrap Carter.

Carter blocked and dismantled to attract the inside line to change the defense and distribute the ball to the middle, and O'Neal Jr. faced Richmond, and the opponent obviously underestimated him, and put a step and a half away, not close.

O'Neal Jr. shook a little, made an easy jump shot, had a height advantage and added a little back, dodging the ball and scoring it. 7 to 0.

The Raptors' offense was opened, a simple mid-lane block, and the two had a good tacit understanding.

Christie is also crucial, perhaps the most underrated and forever underrated shooting guard in the NBA, and he was a great player before he joined the Kings and became a recognized outside gatekeeper.

His scoring ability is not outstanding, but above average, he belongs to the kind of player who does not need a lot of shots and ball control, with a three-point shooting rate of more than 3 to 5, a free throw shooting rate of over 80%, and no mercy in key moments.

Like the Celtics coach on the court, the Wizards' Bernie was also shocked, and he confidently arranged for the players to play against the Raptors before the game, thinking that the offense would win.

Judging from the momentum of the opening game, he suspects that the Wizards will lose ugly if they don't strengthen their defense, and the Raptors are all offensive players.
