Chapter 118 [The Gap Is Too Big]
In the second half, Carter, Willis, Wallace and others, who were well rested, returned to the court, ensured the mobility of the lineup, and continued to run and bomb. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The point difference has widened to more than 20 points, but the most eye-catching thing is not the Raptors players, and some coaches have successfully stolen the show.
The live broadcast camera was given to the sidelines, Yang Rui was holding a large bag of potato chips, eating while watching the game, and there was a cup of cold red bean milk tea at hand, taking a sip from time to time.
Clark fainted. "Is this a basketball coach? He thinks this is watching a movie in the cinema?! ”
David couldn't laugh or cry. "It seems that last season in the Knicks, Jerry Young was very restrained, because he was only an assistant coach, now he is the head coach, he is the boss of the team, no one can care what he does on the sidelines."
Clark asked, "Is it okay for the NBA to do that?" ”
"I don't know, the coach attaches great importance to the image, and I haven't seen a ...... eating on the sidelines"
The two complained while commenting on the game, and the ratings of Toronto Sports have been rising. Fans who were originally disappointed with the Raptors suddenly found that the game had become better.
Raptors owner Richard Pedy was very happy, he originally just wanted to find Yang Rui to improve the home court attendance, but he didn't expect the first offense to be judged by two teams.
As soon as the Green Army adapted to the Raptors' counterattack, Yang Rui replaced Detreve and O'Neal Jr. to strengthen the positional attack.
In addition to O'Neal Jr., the other four people have good passing awareness and rotate the ball very well, O'Neal Jr. is mainly responsible for interior defense, helping to defend blocking, and waiting for the return ball to shoot after covering on the offensive end, and not entering the penalty area.
Carter and Billups hit three pointers in a row, and with five minutes left in the final quarter, the difference was 26 points and went into garbage time.
The Green Army can't defend it, and the offense can't do it, the core Antoine Walker feels cold, he obviously played too much during the holidays, didn't practice much, and became a fat man in the new season, so he could only play to the basket. In the basket, Walker also had no advantage over O'Neal Jr.
Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Yang Rui replaced Alvin Williams, Miller, Lester, Wallace, and O'Neal Jr. to stay on the court and continue to play.
Potential newcomers need to exercise more, Yang Rui specially called a timeout to arrange tactics, let Alvin and Miller play blocking and dismantling, and O'Neal Jr. can ask for the ball in the low post heads-up.
O'Neal Jr. showed amazing technique, quickly turning in the low post and passing Riley with a one-handed slam dunk; 45 degrees to catch the ball twice, after the dangle turned and leaned back to score a jumper; He also caught the ball on the right side and hit a jumper after a duffle.
O'Neal Jr. was a swingman when he first entered high school, and then he grew taller before turning inside, and his style of play was focused on shooting and being mobile, which made it very difficult for opponents to guard against big men.
The more he played on the court, the more excited he became, and he was in the same garbage time, which was in a completely different mood than when he was with the Trail Blazers.
Because Yang Rui told him clearly when he paused. "I'm here to let you exercise, take care to protect yourself and don't get hurt."
In the Trail Blazers, how can O'Neal Jr. be treated like this? The coach simply treats him as air, plays for a while in the second quarter, plays for a while in garbage time, and the coach doesn't communicate with him the rest of the time.
In the locker room, Lass Wallace dragged him to death, despising him; Grant is a competitor and ignores him; Sabonis doesn't like to talk, there is no insider willing to teach him a few tricks, he is free-range.
Now, he feels respected, no one looks down on him here, the manager values him.
Miller also has a performance, he is very low-key, after blocking and dismantling, he will honestly wait for the middle to pass back, do not enter the inside line, and play in strict accordance with Yang Rui's arrangement.
When he was misplaced, he received a pass from Alvin, threw a mid-range shot in the high post, and on the defensive end, he made the opponent's big man unable to enter the box and won one backcourt rebound.
David exclaimed: "There was news before that the Knicks' offense was stronger than the 1997 season because of Yang Rui. I don't believe it like a lot of fans, and now you can't believe it. ”
Clark laughed: "This Oriental seems to have some kind of magic, he has just arrived, but the players love him, and when he comes off the field, the players first high-five him, and Carter eats his chips...... There was no preseason, and the training camp was so short, and he made the Raptors have such a strong cohesion, which is amazing! ”
"If the Raptors make the playoffs, even if it's just eighth, Jerry Young should be named the best coach of the year," David said. ”
The Raptors came off the bench, and radio ratings didn't drop much. If it was last season, garbage time fans would have watched something else, and even after halftime they wouldn't have watched again, the Raptors often trailed by a large margin.
Glenn Gruward, who was watching the live stream at home, received a call from his boss, Richard. "Glenn, you're doing great, great! Jerry Young was right to bring in! ”
"Thank you, I hope I can play so well in the future." Glenn laughed.
"Didn't you notice? The atmosphere on the team is different, and these people really want to play for the Raptors! "Richard is very excited, from '95 to the present, the Raptors have been at the bottom, tickets can't be sold, and it's not interesting for him to do it.
This year, he believes more fans will come to the stadium to watch the game.
The players and coaches had smiles on their faces and were relaxed, which had never been done before.
The core of the team and the management used to be like enemies, full of only thinking about leaving; The head coach never dares to promise results, but only shirks responsibility and complains about all kinds of difficulties.
The gap is too big!
At the end of the game 123-92, the Raptors won by 31 points, and many fans of the Green Army left the game in a hurry without waiting for the game to end.
Willis had a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds; Carter finished with 27 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 8-of-17 shooting, 3-of-6 three-pointers and 8-of-8 free throws. Maddy made 5-of-10 shooting and 3-of-3 free throws to finish with 13 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists; Billups shot 5-of-12 from the field, 4-of-8 from three-point range, and had 14 points and five assists; O'Neal Jr. 14 points and 6 rebounds; Wallace 15 points, Christie 12.
The Raptors scored 7 double-doubles, and Detreve, who scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, also performed well.
Carter became famous, scoring the highest score in his career debut, performing impeccably, and putting on four spectacular dunks.
In the locker room, Yang Rui ordered a few people to attend the press conference and did not call John Wallace.
If you are very affectionate now, and you will send it away in the future, it is too hypocritical, and Yang Rui can't do this kind of thing. So he deliberately revealed some information, and Wallace would not be a core member.
Wallace was a haughty man, ambitious, and immediately displeased.
Why don't you call me? Even Billups went, so why didn't you let me go to the press conference? In his eyes, am I not as good as the defender who can only throw in the back?
Wallace genuinely looked down on Billups, and compared two points to the opponent's three, he felt that he was much more accurate.
He is not a generous person, and he has a trace of resentment towards Yang Rui, he feels that he has been treated unfairly and should have more opportunities to perform.
In his eyes, Carter is just a newcomer who is good at running and jumping.
To put it bluntly, this guy can only see his own advantages, not his shortcomings, and the second middle school disease is very serious.
