Chapter 181 [Although Defeated, Glory, Horror Record]
This stunner dunk made Carter attract countless fans, and the media didn't think it was too much to praise him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In Yang Rui's previous life, Dwyane Wade relied on a playoff stunner to enter the fans' field of vision and began a legendary life. Wade was only the first game of the playoffs against the Hornets, and Carter's stunner was even more golden.
Coupled with Carter's winning the best rookie in the regular season, the limelight completely overshadowed the Lakers' Kobe. Fans have recognized him as Jordan's successor and hope he can go one step closer.
However, the Raptors players are pushing their limits mentally and physically.
In the fifth game, even if Yang Rui carefully arranged his tactics, the Raptors were still suppressed by the opponent at the beginning.
The fast-break tactics require physical strength to complete, and the last overtime game was played, and the Raptors players consumed a lot of physical strength, and they couldn't make up for it in a day, so they could only fight with the Heat.
Kevin Cato and John Thomas were hidden by Yang Rui in this series. Both of them are strong interior lines, and against the Heat's two mobile interior lines, Pat Riley grabbed the weak points of the two and attacked fiercely.
Brad Miller is inexperienced, has poor rebounding control in the playoffs, doesn't shoot resolutely, and can't help the team much.
Coupled with Di Brom, who is injured and absent, the Raptors mainly have 9 people left in the rotation, Bai Bowen is still a pure blue collar, and there are only three reliable insiders.
Both veterans are tired, and their playing time in the two rounds of the playoffs has increased to more than 30 minutes, and their strength is not as good as Mourning and PJ Brown.
The Heat's path to promotion is easier than that of the Raptors, and with Riley's extremely slow defensive style, the Heat only shoot about 70 times in a game, and the players know how to allocate physical strength.
People are still reminiscing about Carter's wonderful goal on the court, and the Heat won the match point neatly 101-84.
Without the Raptors, who have a sharp and fast attack, they are not the team with the strongest offensive power.
In the sixth game, Yang Rui scored in the calculation, let Maddie start, arranged the outside core players to make bold shots, and fought with the opponent for talent, and arranged tactics for Cato in the second quarter, so that he relied on his height and weight to attack the basket, which was not effective.
Cato has some scoring ability, averaging 6.5 points and three rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game in the Trail Blazers playoffs last season. But it was too important because he couldn't let go of his hands and didn't play to the level he had in training.
Carter, Maddy, and Billups have a mediocre feel outside the three-point line, resulting in a lack of offensive strength for the Raptors.
With DeBron out and the Raptors without a particularly fast guard to defend Tim Hardaway, Hardaway made three three-pointers by shrinking the line to the restricted area.
90-103, the Raptors lost at home, and the total score of 2-4 stopped in the Eastern Finals.
David Stern wanted the Raptors to reach the Finals, so they got a little bit of a favor this time, leading 34-20 on free throws. It's a pity that Maddie feels too bad today, and 5 of 12 free throws make people a little speechless.
Maddy didn't play well at the free-throw line throughout the playoffs, averaging just 5.5 of 8.8 free throws per game and shooting 62.3 percent from the field. He made more breakthroughs in the playoffs and increased his lethality, but lost to the touch.
At the press conference, Yang Rui calmly faced the defeat and said with a smile: "This is nothing to be depressed about, everyone has done a very good job, we have won one more game than the western pioneers, although the defeat is still glorious." Even Jordan didn't win a championship as soon as he entered the league. ”
The reporter asked: "Which team do you think will win the championship?" ”
"Spurs, of course." Yang Rui doesn't believe the Heat can win against the Spurs, even if history is different from his previous life.
The Trailblazers are embarrassing enough this year, with more Pippen in the lineup, and they only won one more game than Yang Rui in his previous life to avoid being swept away.
The Trail Blazers seem to be strong, but they are actually similar to the Lakers' weaknesses, lacking a three-point shooter, and the most reliable three-point point is the "flying squirrel" Damon Stoudeyer.
Pippen was a blacksmith on the offensive end, and his playoff performance was disappointing. He shot 41.3 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from three-point range, averaging just 1.5 of 5.5 three-pointers per game.
The Spurs entered the playoffs like a hanging, averaging 93.2 points per game and conceding only 84.1 points, Duncan and Robinson turned the entire restricted area into a no-fly zone, and the outside line could not break through at all, and could only shoot from medium and long distance. It's impossible to beat the Spurs without pitchers.
Yang Rui did not go home immediately, and went to have supper with Stana Kartick.
Eating Singapore's specialty red bean ice, he received a call from Nina Dubov.
Nina is probably the happiest person in the whole of Toronto in this playoffs, and it doesn't matter if she loses or something. She said excitedly, "Jerry, do you know how many cookies I sell?" ”
"How much?"
"Twenty thousand and one hundred boxes, I've broken the Girl Scouts history, there's a radio reporter who wants to interview me tomorrow, can I mention your name, thank you?" Nina was thrilled on the other end of the phone.
"Of course you can ......"
Hearing this number, Yang Rui was very surprised, eight home games, Nina has been selling cookies, and she has set a terrifying record, which is equivalent to all fans buying a box, and the original record is only 15,000.
"Hahaha, I'll say a lot of nice things about you."
Hanging up the phone, Stana asked curiously, "Female?" ”
"You've seen it, it's the kid who sells cookies on the sidelines, and when he met me, he had two nosebleeds, and the third time he was hit on the head by a doorknob with a big bag, and in order to compensate, I proposed to the management to let her sell cookies at home."
"Oh." Stana breathed a clear sigh of relief.
Yang Rui smiled: "Don't worry, I can show you my phone number, there are three women in total, and there are two children besides you, otherwise I wouldn't have had an affair with Tom." ”
Stana laughed: "Is he always out of Toronto to avoid scandals?" ”
"It's for work, and he wants to give us space to be alone, his good intentions have been wasted by us, don't you go back to school today?"
"No, I'm about to take the exam...... This semester is very important, don't you push me, okay? Stana said with a red face.
"Okay, wait for your vacation and go out on vacation with me."
"Hey, when did I promise you to go on vacation?" Stana laughed, "I'm going home." ”
"Then go on vacation to your house, it's easy."
In any case, Yang Rui is going to ask Stana to hang out this summer to take the relationship further. It's normal to not be able to fall in love with a child, but this is an adult, and it's a tragedy that he can't be intimate all the time.
It's just that Stana is a top student with a conservative personality, which is fundamentally different from most American girls.
In the moment of confusion, she always advises herself not to be hot-headed, she must stay calm, sober and steady is the most important, and there is a price to pay for stealing the forbidden fruit. Her concept of love is to reserve a considerable amount of time to test the other party, and she refuses to believe that the other party will really be responsible for herself, so for the sake of safety, she will not eat the forbidden fruit first.
Moreover, she thinks that since the shameful thing is so tempting, it must be very beautiful and enjoyable, and the most beautiful thing must be done at the end. She definitely has this patience, every time Yang Rui makes this kind of request, she will politely refuse, or find an excuse to drag it over.
Yang Rui is already going crazy, what kind of life is he?
