Chapter 160 [Achilles' heel, 9 points in a single section]
The Raptors ran out of 24 seconds on offense, and Carter broke through misplaced and forced a layup, deflecting the basket under Grant's interference. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The player quickly returned to the defense to block the penalty area, and the positional battle magic was also out of action. Nearly 24 seconds into the running out, Austin forced a basket and his hook was deflected wide under the interference.
Austin earned the title of "Arizona Big Carl Malone" during his college years with his excellent mid-range shooting skills. Drafted by the Utah Jazz with the 21st pick in the second round in 1991, he was not very talented, but with his acquired efforts, he was named the NBA's Most Improved Player of the Year in 1997.
Unfortunately, Austin's good form only lasted for two seasons, and after the shutdown, his weight soared to 122 kilograms at 208cm, and his movement speed was slower than before, making it difficult to get good mid-range shots, and he needed his teammates to attract the defense.
The Raptors have Cato, the defense of the restricted area is much better, and there is no one who can't resist.
In this positional battle, Di Brown received Carter's pass and immediately shot, Austin changed the defense and slightly interfered, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Di Blanc played with a poor rhythm, he was not a point guard at all, his teammates just covered well, no one was empty, and no one grabbed the rebound when he shot.
The Magic wanted to fight back, and Christie got close to Harprin to catch the ball and block the fast break. The Magic lacked a point guard who could pass the ball accurately, and they didn't dare to pass the risky ball that was easy to miss, so they had to fall back into position.
Passing around, it was almost 24 seconds before Hardaway singled out Christie and missed a pull-up jump shot.
The Magic averaged only 89 points per game in the regular season, and Hardaway, the team's leading scorer, played 39 minutes and scored only 15.8 points, which was very inefficient. None of the Magic players have the ability to attract the pack, and the way they win is by defending and grinding with the opponent a little bit.
After 3 minutes, the two sides were still football scored, 0-1.
Yang Rui made the substitution first, Di Blanc went down, sent Billups, and Cato went down, replaced Detreve.
No matter how well the players defended, it was not the game Yang Rui wanted, and the offensive ball couldn't work, which gave him a headache. In this way, O'Neal Jr. has to defend Austin, and the confrontation side is more difficult, depending on his tenacity.
Chuck Daley saw Yang Rui's substitution, and he was disdainful.
Sure enough, it was an impetuous young man, and he changed two people in just three minutes, how could he do this?
Yang Rui has another idea, it's not too late to make amends, you have to dare to admit mistakes in employing people, and then use a more reasonable way to win.
During this time, watching the Magic offense, he felt that he could still defend it if he changed people, and if he didn't change people, it would be difficult to open his own offense.
Yang Rui was right.
The Magic players on the court were terrible at three-point shooting, and the offense mainly relied on dislocation after blocking and dislocation. The four Raptors blocked the restricted area, and the difference between a strong man and a thin man was not big.
Austin will encounter assistance defense when receiving the ball in the low post, and there is no time to fight O'Neal Jr. one-on-one to hit the basket, and Halprin is opposite Carter, and his height and strength are similar.
None of the Magic's players could easily get away from the defense, Hardaway was caught on a breakaway, the ball was distributed, and Armstrong missed three consecutive outside shots.
On the other hand, after the Raptors substitution, the formation was completely stretched, and Billups singled out Armstrong to have a physical advantage, and he could directly hold the ball on the periphery and attack.
The Raptors led 25-20 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Christie, who had a six-minute break, came out to guard against Magic No. 2 scorer Nick Anderson, the other two on the outside were DeBron and Maddy, and Cato and White Bowen on the inside partnered.
Veteran Willis is rested, he and Cato can't play together, and it makes more sense to have a Bowen lineup that can pull away.
MAGIC SUBSTITUTE CENTER, WHITE CENTER MICHAEL DOLYAK, WHO IS 211CM TALL AND WEIGHS 117 KG, WAS BLOCKED BY CATO. He was the twelfth pick rookie in '98, obviously taller, he played very soft, couldn't get into the low post, and his mid-range shooting percentage was average.
Substitute power forward Bootelo couldn't shoot accurately, and the free throw shooting rate was only 43.2%, unable to open up the space, and the inside line was enough to hand over Cato, and Bai Bowen dared to go out to block and dismantle and help his outside teammates pack the guard.
The Raptors also brought in the comeback veteran star Dominique Wilkins in the summer, which is useless, and the "human movie essence" is out of shape and can no longer move.
Maddy singled out Anderson for four points, and Christie hit a three-pointer to get past Wilkins with the ball, attract the defense and split the ball, and assist Cato to score on an empty dunk.
After a 9-0 shockwave, Daley was forced to ask for a timeout.
In the second half, Hardaway and Anderson were on the court together, Halprin played power forward, and the Magic used small-ball tactics to strengthen the offense. The Raptors also have a small-ball strategy, changing defenses quickly and dismantling quickly, and the defense of the restricted area is solid.
The Raptors' positional battles were more efficient, with Carter, Maddy, and Billups all three turned on. At halftime, the Raptors led 49-29, and the Toronto commentators couldn't believe it.
David sighed: "The Raptors' defense is too good today, guarding the restricted area, and the Magic can't do anything." ”
Clark laughed: "Jerry Young is trying to prove today that the Raptors can also win on defense?" ”
In the entire second quarter, the Magic scored 9 points, and the core star Hardaway was completely prevented.
When Hardaway is one-on-one, Maddy and Christie try to force him to move to the left, because he doesn't shoot as accurately on the left side as he does on the right; When he played a pick-and-roll, the Raptors immediately clamped him and let go of the interior that he was not good at shooting.
Maddie also used his height to limit his passing and kept his body up for the game, which can create some psychological pressure on Hardaway after his serious injury and disrupt the rhythm of the attack.
When Hardaway relies on covering off-ball runs to get away, No. 4 Detreve and Bowen will use their experience to defend and force Hardaway from the basket.
When Hardaway asked for the ball on the wing, Billups and Maddy stepped forward to double up and let the point guard go.
The Magic's Achilles' heel was caught by the Raptors, and the team didn't have a good point guard, otherwise Armstrong wouldn't have been a starter. Anderson was the only consistent three-point shooter on the court, and he was taken care of.
Chuck Daley was a little embarrassed by the big score, and talked to the players in the locker room at halftime, emphasizing defense.
"That's not the defensive intensity that the Magic should have, are you going to play softer than those newcomers of the Raptors? Tough, otherwise we won't win. In the second half, the confrontation was intensified, and their shooting rhythm was disrupted, and if they wanted to foul, they were fouled. ”
In the home team's locker room, Yang Rui just proposed a countermeasure.
"Everyone did a perfect job in the first half, and in the second half, they continued to defend three-pointers, and if they defended fiercely when attacking, you could get free throws by faking falls, and be careful not to get provoked, let alone fight."
The players listened very carefully.
Yang Rui said again: "Changxi, don't fake falls, prevent your talent from 183CM, use your body to vote if you have the opportunity." The others, especially Halprin who to defend, as long as he falls, the referee is likely to blow a foul, that guy is just a rookie, this is our home field! ”
A good coach must not only be able to arrange tactics, but also use all available advantages, and Yang Rui counted the home whistle into it.
