After the Pacers substitution, the mobility of the interior line was strengthened, and Davis defended O'Neal Jr., the two were similar in stature, and O'Neal Jr. was not so easy to play. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a minute, Yang Rui also made adjustments, replacing Brad Miller and Christie, and replacing Cato and Maddie.

Larry Bird has built a team that pays attention to offensive and defensive balance, and the man-to-man changes the defense quickly, guards against outside shots, and leaves at least one big man to guard the restricted area. The Pacers did a better job of keeping their outside shooting percentage down than the Raptors, averaging just 32.7 percent three-point shooting per game and making four of 12.3 shots per game during the regular season.

The opponent is good at defending three-point shooting, and Yang Rui did the opposite, letting the players hit the basket as much as possible, so he sent a heavy interior card.

DELL DAVIS IS 211CM TALL AND WEIGHS ONLY 104 KILOGRAMS, MAKING HIM A TALL AND SKINNY INSIDER. Crohill, who came off the bench, is 208CM tall and weighs 106kg, which is not strong, and can play a cameo role as a small forward. They have limited frame protection capabilities.

The Raptors' tactics have become Maddy's attack with the ball in the middle, which can go on his own and organize passes. The two interior linemen covered Carter and Billups on either side and helped them run to catch the ball.

Maddie attracted Rose's defense in the middle, Carter received a pass on the side, and singled out Reggie Miller to have a physical advantage, if he attracted a change of defense, Carter dropped the ball inside, and O'Neal Jr. singled Reggie Miller to have a greater advantage.

Cato on the right side has the same screen routine as Billups, who receives the ball, and even if Jackson bypasses the screen, it will be difficult to stop him from dropping the ball inside.

ALTHOUGH CATO'S OFFENSIVE SKILLS ARE ROUGH, AFTER ALL, HE HAS A HEIGHT OF 211CM AND A WEIGHT OF 125 KILOGRAMS, AND HIS STRENGTH AND EXPLOSIVENESS ARE NOT COMPARABLE TO CROHILL.

Sure enough, Reggie Miller was soon suppressed by Carter.

His defensive attitude is very good, but he is limited by his body, so the effect is average, and he is often eaten hard by strong men, and can only keep chattering in his ear when facing stars to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Carter's way of hitting Reggie Miller is very simple, lean on his back, turn to the baseline or the middle, take the ball and force a layup when he can start, Miller follows closely, he turns around and jumps, and can still avoid the block by bounce.

The Raptors Trident were there together, and they couldn't wrap it up. Cato goes into the low post after covering and can also grab rebounds in the frontcourt.

Bird happens to be a coach who doesn't like to arrange bags, and the game in his era was dominated by heads-up. Against the Knicks and the Heat, the Pacers can win it by relying on a slightly superior offense, and they are at a disadvantage in an all-round way compared to the Raptors.

34-20 in the first quarter, the Raptors lead.

In the second quarter, the Raptors mainly fought in the position, but they still opened heads-up.

Boykins, Christie, Detreve, and Brad Miller moved beyond the three-point line to create singles opportunities for Maddy.

In an effort to bolster the attack, experienced veterans Willis and Hornacek both continued to sit on the bench.

Bird asked Rose to continue playing, facing Maddy, and the other four were 180CM point guard Travis Best, veteran shooting guard Chris Mullin, and inside was Crohill partnering 39-year-old veteran Sam Perkins.

Boykins played again, pestering Best. Best's playmaking skills are average, and he is a defender who relies on breakthroughs and scoring, and it is difficult to pass Boykins with the ball.

Christie defends Rose, Maddy defends veteran Mullin, and once the Pacers misses a shot, the Raptors immediately counterattack. Maddie can get a chance to bully a veteran with the ball.

In the positional battle, Rose defended the main defense, Maddy split the ball, and Boykins and Brad Miller played blocking and dismantling, which could create misplaced offensive opportunities.

After 6 minutes, the difference widened to 20 points. The Pacers have successively changed back to the main team, with the Raptors O'Neal Jr. replacing Detreve, Carter coming out to replace Christie, and Billups replacing Boykins.

This is the strongest offensive lineup of the Raptors, and in Yang Rui's previous life, he was the Big Five, all of whom could shoot, and any three of them could form a triangular offensive line.

Bird didn't dare to bring on Schmitz, and Davis and Perkins partnered on the inside. But Perkins is 39 years old and can't jump, and O'Neal Jr. has a clear advantage over him alone. went to defend Miller, and the speed couldn't keep up with Maddie and Carter after blocking and dismantling.

To defend the box, Davis needed to drop back to help defend the ball, and Brad Miller and Billups each hit a three-pointer. Brad Miller also drew in Rose's defense and assisted on Maddy's dunk.

At halftime, the Raptors led 70-42, and the two teams looked completely out of tune.

Raptors fans are more fanatical than last season, and the arena was noisy at halftime, with fans chatting and singing.

Yang Rui rotated in the second half, with point guard on Boykins, scoring guard Hornacek, small forward Jummaine Jones, and Detreve and Cato on the inside.

Bird sent Schmitz on again, and Boykins and Cato alone were not good at guarding, and the other three were all outside the three-point line without running to make room for a breakout.

The Pacers fielded the strongest offensive lineup, and the two stars on the perimeter began to exert their power, scoring 33 points in a single quarter. But the Raptors also had a way to score, scoring 25 points in a single quarter.

95-75, the Raptors led 20 into the final quarter.

After a full quarter break, Maddy and Brad Miller returned to the court, and the Raptors' offense was unstoppable, and soon widened the margin to 28 points and went into garbage time.

At 122-97 in the final game, the Raptors beat the Pacers who lost their temper.

The Raptors scored double-doubles, and O'Neal Jr. played 34 minutes, scoring 36 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, the best performance of the game.

Carter had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and Maddie had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

Cato also had a good performance in this game, he only played 20 minutes, scored 12 points, 8 rebounds, 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, and staged 4 violent dunks!

Schmitz played, and he couldn't defend against the pick-and-roll and O'Neal Jr.; Schmitz wasn't there, Cato cut to the basket, and it was difficult for others to resist, not to mention that the big man had to constantly change guards to defend the Raptors.

After the game, Bird was reluctant to shake hands with Yang Rui, and his expression was extremely embarrassed. Yang Rui sat on the sidelines in the second half and watched the play, drinking drinks and eating snacks, without calling a timeout.

As one of the NBA's greatest pretend players, Bird has a lot of famous quotes. In Yang Rui's previous life, even if he had been a manager for many years, once Kobe Bryant said that Dream Ten could beat Dream One, Bird showed his eloquence, and he responded lightly: "It's hard to say, they are indeed possible, after all, we haven't played for more than ten years." ”

This time, Bird didn't have a chance to pretend to be forced, and Yang Rui's face was red. Because Yang Rui looked at him very sincerely, he said: "Don't worry, I washed my hands with pure water."

Hearing this, Bird felt no respect.

Wash your sister, are you really here to lead the team to play?!

At the post-match press conference, reporters asked Yang Rui about tactics.

Yang Rui smiled: "Our tactics are very simple, as you can see, pull away, heads-up or heads-up after a block. Defensively, keep an eye on your own guys and don't lose your position. ”

The reporter asked: "How many points do you rate the team's performance today?" ”

"1 point, let's say 99 points because I'm afraid they're too proud, after all, we won't win the championship until June." Yang Rui once again became a joker.

The reporters went straight to Sparta, and just after a fight, did they show that they didn't take the Pacers seriously?
